Galaxy Research predicts that in 2026, the cryptocurrency market will see unpredictable huge fluctuations for Bitcoin

Galaxy Research released its 2026 annual forecast, stating that the market volatility of Bitcoin in 2026 is too great to predict, but the possibility of Bitcoin reaching a historical high in 2026 still exists, with expectations to reach $250,000 by the end of 2027.

Other major predictions include:

• Stablecoin transaction volume may surpass the U.S. ACH system in 2026;
• The Solana ecosystem may continue to expand, with enterprise-level public chains moving from experimentation to real settlement;
• The U.S. market may see more crypto ETFs and institutional capital inflows;
• The combination of DeFi, tokenized assets, and AI in on-chain payments will further develop, being seen as an important force driving the evolution of the next phase of crypto infrastructure.
