Tom Lee's Crypto Outlook for 2026: Key Takeaways from His Podcast

Bullish Drivers for 2026:

Crypto endured 6 "black swans" in 4 years, breeding investor fear and skepticism.

Fed's delayed easing kept cycles neutral, not expansive.

Expect broad economic/market rebound next year.

Expected 2026 Correction:

Mini-bear phase (~20% drop, deeper than 10-15%).

Recovery follows, ending year positive—corrections don't derail bull runs if economy stays solid.

Trigger: Algorithmic stablecoin peg broke on one exchange, sparking insufficient collateral, ADL cascades, and altcoin dominoes.
