Here's my take on Galaxy Research | @glxyresearch 2026 crypto landscape, and this one matters if you are positioning rather than reacting. $BTC stays volatile in 2026 but the long arc points to $250k by 2027, $SOL’s Internet Capital Markets are projected to grow from ~$750M to $2B, signaling where onchain equity and app value are concentrating. Stablecoins move from niche to rails, overtaking ACH, consolidating around TradFi-backed issuers, and routing real volume through card networks and banks that accept tokenized equities as collateral. DeFi keeps eating market share, with DEXs clearing 25%+ of spot volume, crypto-backed loans pushing past $90B, and applications capturing a growing share of revenue relative to base layers. Regulation turns selective rather than hostile, with ETF inflows above $50B, 100+ crypto ETFs launching, tokenized securities getting conditional relief, and multiple crypto firms going public. The signal is clear: 2026 is not about narratives, it is about infrastructure absorbing real economic activity, and positioning early is the only edge that matters.
