Recently, there's an interesting observation worth discussing — the crypto market in 2026 may see several key turning points.

First, let's talk about stablecoins. Trading volume has always been a reference indicator. If it can truly surpass the scale of the US ACH system, what does that mean? It indicates that the convenience of on-chain settlement has been increasingly recognized by more and more people, representing a qualitative leap.

Next, look at Bitcoin. Although predictions are often proven wrong, there's still a possibility of reaching new highs this year — that probability definitely exists. However, the real key is the $250,000 target by the end of 2027, which depends on changes in the macro environment and institutional attitudes.

The Solana ecosystem has been active in recent years. Moving from experimental testing to real settlement, this is about transitioning from "concept validation" to "practical application." The story of enterprise-grade public chains is far from over.

On the US market side, the continued influx of crypto ETFs and institutional funds is already a high-probability event. Once institutions recognize them, market liquidity and price discovery will see qualitative improvements.

DeFi, tokenized assets, AI — these new tracks will continue to be battlegrounds in 2026. In other words, this year will be a period of accelerated transition for the entire Web3 industry from niche to mainstream.
