Bitcoin looks weak now (around $88k, -30% from ATH $126k), but Bitwise CIO Matt Hoogan predicts new all-time highs in 2026!

The four-year cycle is weakening: halvings are less influential, rates will decrease, leverage is cleared after liquidations.

The main driver is accelerated institutional adoption: ETFs opened their doors in 2024, in 2026 Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Merrill Lynch will start allocations. Plus pro-crypto regulations after the elections.

$BTC volatility is falling (already lower than Nvidia in 2025), correlation with stocks will decrease — BTC decoupling from Wall Street.

Trifecta: strong returns + lower volatility + lower correlation = tens of billions of new institutional capital in 2026.
