Sharplink’s co-CEO recently shared that the network’s TVL could grow 10x by 2026, driven by a steady inflow of stablecoins, the expansion of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and rising interest from sovereign wealth funds.
Stablecoins continue to bring liquidity and stability to the market, while RWAs are helping bridge traditional finance and DeFi. At the same time, growing institutional participation suggests a shift in how large capital views blockchain infrastructure.
If these trends continue, $ETH ’s ecosystem could see sustained TVL growth, further strengthening its role as a core platform for decentralized applications over the coming years.
🔮 Expert Outlines Key Crypto Market Trends for 2026
Pantera Capital junior partner Jay Yu has shared his outlook on how the crypto $BTC industry may evolve in 2026, highlighting several themes he believes will shape the next market cycle.
Among the main drivers, Yu points to continued growth in real-world assets (RWA), the rise of agent-based commerce, and the transformation of AI into a primary interface for crypto applications. He also emphasizes the expanding role of stablecoins in international settlements and cross-border payments.
At the same time, Yu flags several risks to watch. These include a potential “quantum panic” around Bitcoin, upcoming consolidation among crypto exchanges, and a widening gap between tokens and equity-like instruments that do not grant investors legal rights to the underlying businesses.
PEPE is starting to wake up again. After defending the $0.00000400 base, price is stabilizing above $0.00000410, suggesting buyers are quietly regaining control. This looks more like accumulation than distribution, with a gradual grind higher favored if support continues to hold.
Clean bounce from a well-respected demand zone at 0.00000400
Higher lows forming → early bullish structure
Volume expansion confirms buyer participation
Short-term EMAs turning supportive, hinting at continuation
🧠 Game Plan
As long as PEPE holds above 0.00000400, dips are likely to be bought. A clean push through 0.00000420 could accelerate price into the 0.00000425–0.00000428 liquidity zone. Expect minor pullbacks, but overall structure favors continuation rather than breakdown.
🐸 Patience pays here — momentum is building, not exploding (yet).
ZEC is doing exactly what strong trends do: brief pullback, instant demand, and acceptance above the prior breakout. Sellers failed to push price back into the old range, and buyers stepped in quickly — a clear sign of control.
The 505–510 zone is acting as a solid demand shelf. Price compressing above it suggests this is consolidation for continuation, not distribution. As long as ZEC respects the 500 psychological level, the bullish structure stays intact.
A clean hold above 520 should unlock the next expansion leg toward higher resistance levels.
XRP isn’t rushing — it’s building. The climb is gradual, price action is tight, and structure remains intact. This kind of controlled movement usually favors continuation rather than a sharp rejection.
🔹 Market Structure
Price is creeping higher with stability, not hype
Buyers are defending the 1.86 zone, keeping the structure clean
No signs of distribution — just steady accumulation
📌 Trade Plan (Long Bias)
Entry Zone: 1.865 – 1.880
Stop-Loss: Below 1.845
🎯 Upside Levels
TP1: 1.905 (initial reaction zone)
TP2: 1.945 (momentum test)
TP3: 2.000 (psychological breakout level)
⚡ Momentum Insight A firm reclaim and hold above 1.95 flips the market into breakout mode, opening room for acceleration rather than grind.
$DAM is no longer behaving like a bottoming asset. After an extended consolidation, price has reclaimed key support and is now stabilizing above it — a classic sign that control is shifting back to buyers. Momentum is building gradually rather than spiking, which usually supports a more sustainable continuation.
Market Structure
Long base formed → breakout confirmed
Higher lows developing above support
Pullbacks are getting absorbed, not sold
As long as price holds this reclaimed zone, continuation remains the higher-probability scenario.
Long Setup
Entry Zone: 0.0255 – 0.0272
Targets:
🎯 0.0300 (initial reaction zone)
🎯 0.0345 (range expansion)
🎯 0.0400 (momentum extension)
Stop-Loss: 0.0228 (structure invalidation)
Execution Notes
Prefer entries on shallow pullbacks, not green extensions
Partial profits at each target recommended
Momentum continuation is valid only while support holds
DOT just delivered a strong impulsive expansion on the 1H timeframe, breaking cleanly above its prior range resistance. The candle structure is firm and decisive, showing buyers stepping in with intent rather than late-stage chasing.
Price is now holding above the breakout area, which keeps the bullish continuation scenario intact. Any brief pause or shallow pullback here would be constructive and could fuel the next leg higher.
📈 Trade Plan (LONG)
Entry Zone: 🟢 1.80 – 1.83
Targets: 🎯 TP1: 1.88 🎯 TP2: 1.92 🎯 TP3: 1.98
Stop-Loss: 🔴 1.75
🧠 Trade Bias
As long as DOT maintains acceptance above the breakout zone, upside liquidity remains the magnet. Momentum favors continuation, not reversal.
Execution Bias: As long as price remains below the pullback level, downside continuation is favored. A clean rejection from this zone with RSI weakness keeps the short thesis valid.
$ONT — Breakout Confirmed, Continuation in Focus 🚀
$ONT has decisively broken out of its base, delivering a strong impulse that signals aggressive buyer participation. The 1H trend structure has flipped bullish, and price is now respecting the former resistance as support — a classic continuation setup.
Momentum remains constructive as long as the breakout zone is defended. This structure favors higher prices before any meaningful pullback.
$GUA is on my radar after liquidity was taken and price successfully held above the reaction zone. Instead of a breakdown, the market absorbed sell pressure and stabilized — a key sign of strength.
Market Structure Price pushed strongly from 0.1125 → 0.1242, then pulled back in a controlled manner. The retrace lacked momentum, and sellers failed to force continuation. We’re now seeing tight consolidation, which typically signals active buyers defending the range.
Long Bias Setup
Entry Zone: 0.1185 – 0.1205 This area sits just above the reclaimed base and acts as short-term demand. Holding here keeps the bullish structure intact.
Targets
🎯 TP1: 0.1230
🎯 TP2: 0.1275
🎯 TP3: 0.1335
These levels align with prior highs and projected expansion zones if momentum returns.
Invalidation
Stop-Loss: 0.1145 A clean break below this level confirms base failure and invalidates the setup.
Why This Works Liquidity has already been taken, sellers lost control, and price is consolidating above demand instead of rejecting lower. This behavior often precedes continuation once buyers step back in.
Execution Structure is clean. Risk is defined. Watching for continuation from demand.
$TAKE is flashing early distribution signals after a strong impulsive rally. Price is now stalling beneath a clear supply zone, printing lower highs while momentum fades, a classic sign of buyer exhaustion. The recent rejection from the upper range suggests smart money is offloading into strength, with liquidity resting below current price. Market structure is shifting from expansion to compression, increasing the probability of a deeper pullback. If $TAKE fails to reclaim the 0.33–0.35 region with volume, downside continuation toward the lower demand zone becomes the higher-probability scenario. That area aligns with previous accumulation and unfinished business on the chart. Bulls must defend current levels aggressively to avoid a full range rotation lower.
Until a clean breakout occurs, rallies are likely to be sold. Patience here favors waiting for discounted entries rather than chasing strength.
After a period of compression, $NIL is showing signs of renewed momentum. Price is attempting to break out of its range, and strength above the key trigger level would confirm continuation. This setup favors upside as long as structure holds.
Higher timeframes are aligned to the downside. The daily structure remains firmly bearish, and the 4H chart continues to respect lower highs and lower lows. No signs of trend reversal yet.
Zooming in, the 1H chart is offering a clean execution zone after a minor pullback into resistance. Momentum is lining up perfectly: the 15-minute RSI is rolling over and preparing to slip below 50, which often acts as the trigger for the next impulsive move lower.
This isn’t about anticipation — it’s about confirmation and alignment across timeframes.
Trade Plan (SHORT):
Entry: 0.122631 – 0.122981 (market zone)
TP1: 0.121755
TP2: 0.121404
TP3: 0.120703
Stop-Loss: 0.123857
As long as price stays capped below resistance, downside continuation remains the higher-probability path. Manage risk, let momentum do the work.
$XPL has printed a textbook reversal off the lows, with strong follow-through confirming that demand has stepped in decisively. The recovery wasn’t a weak bounce — price reclaimed key levels and is now trending higher with momentum, signaling buyer control.
As long as price holds above the reclaimed support, the structure favors trend continuation rather than a pullback.
Trade Plan (LONG) Entry Zone: 0.145 – 0.153 Stop-Loss: 0.138
Targets: • TP1: 0.162 • TP2: 0.175 • TP3: 0.190
Momentum + structure are aligned — continuation remains the higher-probability scenario while support holds.
Uniswap token holders approved the UNIfication proposal, enabling the protocol’s fee switch. After a two-day timelock, the protocol will initiate an immediate burn of 100M $UNI .
With the fee switch active, a portion of trading fees - previously earned entirely by liquidity providers - will now be routed to the protocol and burned on an ongoing basis, introducing a structural deflationary mechanism.
While DeFi protocols evolve their fee models, $BTC remains the benchmark asset with a fixed supply and no governance-driven monetary changes.
KGST has already made its first aggressive push, and instead of giving it all back, price is moving sideways in a tight range. That’s a strong sign of absorption — sellers are getting absorbed while buyers quietly defend the base. This kind of structure often precedes another expansion.
As long as price remains supported above the intraday floor, the bias stays bullish and continuation is the higher-probability scenario.
Trade Plan (LONG):
Buy Zone: 0.01130 – 0.01145
TP1: 0.01180 (initial breakout extension)
TP2: 0.01210 (range expansion)
TP3: 0.01250 (full continuation move)
Invalidation: 0.01095 (loss of structure)
📌 Patience is key here — the tighter the range, the stronger the breakout. Manage risk and let price confirm.
The market already showed its hand with a strong impulsive push off the 0.065–0.070 base. That move shifted structure bullish and lifted price into a higher range. Now we’re in the decision phase.
Instead of dumping after the impulse, price is pausing just under the 0.082–0.085 ceiling. That kind of tight consolidation after expansion usually means absorption, not exhaustion. Sellers aren’t in control here — buyers are defending ground.
As long as NIL holds above the reclaimed 0.078–0.080 zone, the bullish structure stays intact and continuation remains the higher-probability path.
Long Continuation Plan
Entry: 0.078 – 0.080
TP1: 0.085
TP2: 0.092
TP3: 0.100
SL: 0.072
Execution Notes Holding above 0.078 keeps momentum alive. A clean break and acceptance above 0.085 would likely trigger the next expansion leg. Once TP1 is hit, risk should be reduced and stops trailed to protect gains.
This is a “hold-the-range” setup — patience and risk control matter more than chasing.
