Galaxy Research predicts the cryptocurrency market in 2026: Bitcoin will face unpredictable huge fluctuations

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

Other major predictions include:

• Stablecoin trading 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;
• On-chain payments combining DeFi, tokenized assets, and AI will further develop, being viewed as an important force driving the evolution of the next stage of crypto infrastructure.
