Deep Tide TechFlow news, on December 20, Galaxy Research released its 2026 cryptocurrency market forecast. The report predicts that Bitcoin will reach $250,000 by the end of 2027, but believes that the market in 2026 will be too chaotic to predict accurately. Currently, the options market assigns equal probability to Bitcoin's price being $70,000 or $130,000 by the end of June 2026, and equal probability to the year-end price being $50,000 or $250,000. Other key predictions include: at least one Layer-1 blockchain will have built-in revenue-generating applications; stablecoin trading volume will surpass the ACH system; decentralized exchanges will account for more than 25% of spot trading volume; the total market capitalization of privacy coins will exceed $100 billions; and the US will launch more than 50 spot altcoin ETFs and another 50 cryptocurrency ETFs.

ChainCatcher reports that Galaxy Research has released its annual forecast for 2026, stating that the market volatility of bitcoin in 2026 will be too great to predict. However, there is still a possibility that bitcoin will reach a new all-time high in 2026, and it is expected to reach $250,000 by the end of 2027.
