What's on everyone's radar for 2026 in crypto?



With market cycles shifting and Layer 2 solutions mattering more than ever, the conversation around next year's biggest moves is heating up. Whether it's institutional adoption milestones, DeFi protocol evolution, or the next wave of on-chain applications, there's plenty to watch.

The predictions are getting spicier—ranging from Bitcoin's macro positioning to altseason catalysts, governance shake-ups to infrastructure breakthroughs. Some see regulatory clarity as the game-changer; others are betting on technological innovation driving the next cycle.

What's your take? Which narratives do you think will actually materialize in 2026, and which are just noise?

Honestly, the L2 narrative has been overhyped. The real variable in 2026 still depends on the attitude shift of institutions.

NGL Layer 2 should have taken off long ago. It's been a while of just hype...

Honestly, these predictions sound too optimistic. I bet L2 will become the next shitcoin trap.
