As the year draws to a close, I've been reflecting on the market and have some personal thoughts about 2026. Looking ahead to 2026, I have a feeling the crypto market will be less noisy but… more reliable. Gone are the days of everyone waiting for a pump; instead, there's an atmosphere of "those with real value stay, those without will fall." After the strong influx of institutional money in 2025, I think the market will be more stable in 2026, with less FOMO and less hype. XEM at the data on @EXNESS lately, I can clearly see that money is concentrated in assets with solid fundamentals, no longer just scattering money according to trends. Bitcoin may not experience a dramatic surge, but it Vai a very "mature" role – stable, with little drama, the kind of asset that institutions hold for peace of mind. I expect Ethereum to enter a phase of proving its value, no longer relying on upgrades, but truly becoming a usable infrastructure. Altcoins… will undergo a major cleansing, simply because the market in 2026 will no longer have the patience for Token that only exist because of marketing. In short, in my opinion, 2026 is not a year of hype, but a year of self-reflection for the market. Fewer fireworks, but higher quality. Those who took the right direction from 2025 will see clear results in 2026. Ultimately, this is just my personal opinion at the present time, not investment advice. Anyone who has been in the market for a long time will understand: expectations change, the market changes, and so do opinions.
