PANews December 16 news, according to Cointelegraph, Grayscale analysts predicted in the 2026 outlook report released on Monday that the cryptocurrency market will recover, and a surge in demand will drive Bitcoin to reach an all-time high in the first half of 2026. Grayscale stated that on a macro level, the risk of fiat currency devaluation is increasing due to rising public sector debt and its potential impact on long-term inflation. As long as this risk continues to rise, demand from investors for Bitcoin and Ethereum is likely to continue increasing. Meanwhile, the regulatory tone in the U.S. has significantly changed in recent years, and Grayscale expects that in 2026, Congress will pass bipartisan-supported legislation on cryptocurrency market structure, solidifying the position of blockchain finance in U.S. capital markets and promoting institutional investment.
The Grayscale report also commented on the top ten investment themes for 2026, "reflecting the wide range of use cases emerging in the field of public blockchain technology." This list covers the following major themes: growth of the stablecoin market driven by the (GENIUS Act), a turning point for asset tokenization, major DeFi growth led by the lending market, and investors' default seeking for staking yields.
Earlier today, the Grayscale report stated: Quantum computing is unlikely to impact cryptocurrency prices in 2026.
