Can Bitcoin make a comeback in 2026? What are the institutions betting on

【Crypto World】By the end of 2025, Bitcoin’s performance has been somewhat disappointing. From the peak of $126,080 created in October, it has been steadily dropping, with a decline of nearly 30%. In contrast, gold has proven to be more resilient in this “fight against currency devaluation,” leading many to question Bitcoin’s hedge status.

But this doesn’t mean the story is over. Market analysts generally believe that the “currency devaluation trade” logic still holds up—at its core, it’s the same old issues: government deficits are growing larger, and quantitative easing policies continue endlessly. This strategy just requires some patience; it’s not something that happens overnight. Some say that the short-term concerns about inflation are just “temporary relief,” and the real pressure is still ahead.

That’s why more and more institutions are treating Bitcoin as a hedging tool—both against fiat currency devaluation and against the Federal Reserve possibly shifting to a more moderate policy stance. Although things are a bit quiet now, many analysts are gearing up for a market rebound in 2026, with bullish sentiment gradually building.
