Bitcoin in 2026: Between Recent Volatility and the Horizon of a Mature Digital Asset
The crypto market has once again shown that volatility is its native language. In early May 2026, Bitcoin is trading in a range between $85,000 and $95,000, a figure that, while far from the all-time highs briefly surpassed at the end of 2025, still positions the leading cryptocurrency as a global benchmark asset.
