In every market cycle, projects emerge screaming for attention.
And other projects work silently, building the infrastructure upon which others will stand later.
Walrus clearly belongs to the second category.
The core idea behind Walrus revolves around scalable decentralized storage.
But what sets it apart is not 'what it does,' but how it does it.
The project doesn't try to compete with everyone all at once.

The most promising cryptocurrencies for 2026. Who would have predicted the rise of anonymous cryptocurrencies in 2025? However, their prices have skyrocketed. It is clear that prediction accuracy cannot be 100%. But let's try to identify the most promising cryptocurrencies for 2026. Prediction difficulty: First, it is worth noting that any predictions are purely probabilistic, and no one knows for sure what events may affect the cryptocurrency market over the next 12 months. By December 2025, the price of Bitcoin had fallen compared to January values, losing about 6.34%, leading to a drop in prices of many altcoins. It is worth taking this potential scenario into account in 2026. Nevertheless, before the price drop, Bitcoin reached its all-time high - above $126,000. What does this indicate? First, this potential prediction relies on the data available at the moment. Secondly, trading is not constrained by strict frameworks. You do not have to buy on January 1 and sell on December 31. From this perspective, many coins that increased in value over the year could have been profitable. Moreover, no one rules out the possibility of profiting from declines. But 2025 is in the past, and 2026 looms ahead. Which cryptocurrencies are recommended for investment in 2026? Bitcoin. The first cryptocurrency worth following is Bitcoin. 2026 is likely to witness fluctuations in Bitcoin's value, and its growth will not be linear. Nevertheless, major investors will continue to believe in the largest cryptocurrency. For instance, the American company Grayscale, specializing in investments in digital assets, predicted in its forecasts that the price of Bitcoin would reach its all-time high between January and June. The main factors mentioned are: increased demand for cryptocurrencies as alternative savings means, and greater clarity in regulations. As for Bitcoin's four-year cycles, according to representatives of Grayscale, its role will diminish. In any case, Bitcoin remains an attractive long-term investment option. However, it is worth mentioning that in the second year after the halving, Bitcoin did not record new highs in 2014, 2018, and 2022. USDT and USDC stablecoins may not seem like the optimal choice for growth. And despite their price stability, their dynamics can be viewed from another angle. In unstable conditions, dollar-linked assets may be a profitable investment. There are two reasons for this: First, inflation in the United States is likely to continue slowing. According to the forecasting portal Polymarket, the most common predictions for the U.S. interest rate in 2026 are scenarios expecting a rate cut two to four times, by 25 basis points each time. Second, the current Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, is expected to step down in May. It is still unclear who will succeed him. Nevertheless, the next generation is likely to be more decisive and supportive of digital assets. Major players in the cryptocurrency industry, such as BlackRock, the largest investment firm in the world, agree on the prominent role of stablecoins. They cite achievements such as the market capitalization of stablecoins reaching over a billion dollars, the passage of legislation regulating stablecoins (GENIUS), and the use of these assets in payment systems. Samara Cohen, BlackRock's Head of Market Development, clearly expressed this position by stating: "Stablecoins are no longer the preserve of a specific category; they have become a bridge connecting traditional finance with digital liquidity." In other words, many investors consider inflation expectations in the largest global market when determining the price of stablecoins, which may decline if the situation improves in 2026. As for Solana, although 2025 was not very successful for it, it remains a good investment option for 2026. The network is still relatively fast compared to competitors, and its transaction costs are lower than many similar blockchains. Additionally, Solana's reliability has improved: over the past two years, serious and widespread outages have become less frequent. Developers are currently working on the Alpenglow upgrade, which includes changes to the consensus mechanism. Recently, instant exchange-traded funds have been launched, which also contribute to the prospects of SOL. As with Bitcoin and Ethereum, the impact of exchange-traded funds is expected to be delayed until 2026. Major players in this sector believe in SOL.
