#数字资产市场动态 Grayscale's latest report sends a signal: cryptocurrencies will reach a critical turning point in 2026

Recently, the Grayscale research team released a 2026 outlook, with a straightforward core argument—demand for store of value and regulatory framework certainty will become two driving forces behind this crypto bull market. They even claim that Bitcoin has a chance to hit a new all-time high in the first half of next year.

What does this logic sound like? Basically, economic anxiety. Government debt expansion, fiscal deficits, ongoing depreciation pressure of fiat currencies... The appeal of traditional financial assets is being eroded, and more investors are turning their attention to crypto assets as an alternative.

More importantly, regulation. Although the US digital asset federal bill was temporarily stalled in 2025 due to political tug-of-war, Grayscale predicts that this issue will be resolved by early 2026—both parties' lawmakers are eager to fill in the regulatory gaps. Once the bill advances, market confidence will significantly increase.

Grayscale's logic is that these two factors stacking together can break the four-year cycle curse of the crypto market. Especially Bitcoin, which is expected to challenge new price ceilings under this favorable wind.

But these are all predictions; the actual outcome still depends on the market's real response.
