Source: BTCHaber Original Title: Bitwise: The Cryptocurrency Market is Preparing for New Highs in 2026 Original Link: The latest report from Bitwise indicates that institutional interest in the cryptocurrency market may significantly increase in 2026. The report expects mainstream crypto assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana to potentially reach new all-time highs. Bitwise emphasizes that ETFs and regulatory developments will play a decisive role in the market.

Expectations for New Bitcoin Highs

According to the report, Bitcoin may test new historical highs in 2026. Bitwise believes that Bitcoin’s volatility could decrease over time, and its price trend may become more balanced compared to some large tech stocks. This situation could increase institutional investors’ interest in Bitcoin.

ETFs as a Key Market Driver

The Bitwise report states that ETFs issued for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana in 2026 could generate significant demand in the market. According to the report, the purchase volume of these ETFs may reach the total new supply added to the relevant networks. This scenario could exert upward pressure on cryptocurrency prices.

Regulatory Outlook for Ethereum and Solana

The report highlights that clarifying the regulatory framework for the US crypto market is crucial. Bitwise predicts that if market structure regulation is implemented, Ethereum and Solana could also reach new highs. Reduced regulatory uncertainty may help increase institutional investors’ allocations to these assets.

Opportunities for Crypto Companies and Institutional Investors

Bitwise believes that in 2026, stocks of crypto exchanges, mining companies, and crypto infrastructure firms may become focal points. The report forecasts that the performance of these companies could surpass that of tech stocks. Additionally, large university funds (such as Ivy League endowments) may begin increasing their crypto investment allocations.

2026 Outlook Summary

Bitwise’s overall assessment suggests that the combination of institutional demand, ETF expansion, and regulatory clarity could propel the crypto market toward a more mature and mainstream development stage in 2026. The report emphasizes that these predictions are solely based on market expectations and do not constitute investment advice.

2026... Another excuse for the wait-and-see crowd. I bet fifty cents that this Bitwise report is just to flatter institutions.

New highs in 2026? First, see if the institutions are actually investing real money. Anyone can just talk nicely.

Will 2026 reach a new high again? Wait a moment first, can the regulatory aspect really be sorted out... To put it nicely, it's "clarification," but to be blunt, it's still each country’s own laws. There's a high possibility that BTC will be slapped in the face again by some policy at that time.

Will 2026 hit new highs again? I'm already tired of these institutional reports. Let's see how the regulators handle it first; otherwise, it's all just talk.
