⚖️ The Block Research's Key Cryptocurrency Market Trends for 2026 💰 BTC and Market Structure: With BTC dominance remaining above 50%, a range-bound trend is expected in the first half of the year, followed by a bullish turn in the second half. In particular, selling pressure from digital asset hoarding companies (DATs) is expected to be a variable in the market correction. 💲💲 Stablecoin Payment Revolution: With supply exceeding $500 billion, stablecoins will be fully adopted as a business-to-business payment infrastructure. USDC will emerge as a neutral bridge asset, strengthening the market structure centered on payments and DeFi. ✅ New Narrative: Prediction markets such as Polymarket will emerge as the strongest growth engine, while practical projects such as real asset tokenization (RWA) and tokenized stocks will lead the market. Conversely, the NFT market is expected to remain stagnant.
