Bitwiseās Matt Hougan and Ryan Rasmussen return with 10 big predictions for 2026.
From the case for $1M BTC (and why the classic four-year cycle may be dead) to a world where ETFs soak up more than 100% of new BTC/ETH/SOL supply.
We get into Bitcoin volatility vs. mega-cap tech, crypto equities vs. tech equities, and why Polymarket could smash past its 2024 election-era highs.
Plus: stablecoins as an āescape valveā that emerging economies may blame for currency stress, on-chain also known as āETFs 2.0,ā and how the Clarity Act could be the starterās gun for ETH and SOL to run.
