💡 The Cryptocurrency Market in 2026: Why 4-Year Cycles Are Becoming a Thing of the Past

Grayscale believes that 2026 will be a turning point for the entire cryptocurrency market. The classic halving — bubble — crash model will no longer work as it did before.

📈 The End of 4-Year Cycles

The market is gradually moving away from a strict attachment to halving. Instead of sharp overheating and crashes, Grayscale expects a more stable bullish trend fueled by institutional money.

📌 According to analysts' forecasts, Bitcoin will update its ATH in the first half of 2026, but without the extreme euphoria of past cycles.

↗️ What Will Drive the Market

▪️ BTC and ETH as Digital Gold

The rise in U.S. national debt and the risks of fiat devaluation make crypto assets a protective tool for capital.

▪️ Regulatory Clarity in the U.S.

The anticipated bipartisan bill on the cryptocurrency market structure will open the door for full integration of TradFi and blockchain.

▪️ Institutional Capital

Through spot ETFs, large funds will begin to systematically enter the market — slowly, but in large volumes.

💬 Key Topics for 2026

Grayscale highlights several growth areas:

- BTC and ETH as alternatives to the dollar.

- Tokenization of real-world assets (RWA).
