Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan predicts Bitcoin will reach new record highs in 2026 driven by institutional adoption from major wealth platforms like Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan. He argues the traditional four-year halving cycle is weakening because supply cuts are becoming less impactful and macroeconomic conditions like falling interest rates have shifted. Future price action is expected to show lower volatility and a reduced correlation with the stock market as Bitcoin matures into a more independent asset class through ETFs. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said he expects Bitcoin to hit new all-time highs in 2026, while becoming less volatile and less…
Franklin Templeton’s XRP spot ETF exceeded 101 million tokens in holdings, crossing the $190 million valuation mark for the first time since its launch. XRP ETFs have outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum funds in recent months, accumulating over $1 billion in total assets through consistent net inflows. Growing demand for the asset is being driven by its role in cross-border payments and the increasing preference among traditional investors for regulated exchange-traded products. Franklin Templeton’s XRP spot ETF has reported holdings of more than 101.55 million XRP, valued at about US$192.7 million (AU$294 million). It is the first time the ETF has…
JPMorgan rejects trillion-dollar stablecoin forecasts, projecting a US$500–600bn market by 2028 aligned with crypto growth. Most stablecoin expansion remains driven by crypto trading, particularly derivatives and DeFi activity. Payments growth alone is unlikely to push supply higher due to competition from tokenised deposits and CBDCs. JPMorgan has reiterated its position that the stablecoin sector is unlikely to approach a US$1 trillion (AU$1.51 trillion) valuation within the next few years, pushing back against projections that assume rapid decoupling from broader crypto market growth. Instead, the bank expects total supply to reach approximately US$500–600 billion (AU$755–907 billion) by 2028, consistent with earlier…
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino warned that a potential “AI bubble” burst in 2026 could trigger a stock market sell-off that drags Bitcoin down due to its correlation with traditional capital markets. Ardoino anticipates a shift away from Bitcoin’s historical 80% drawdowns, citing increased stability from institutional adoption by pension funds and governments. While optimistic about the growth of real-world asset tokenisation, Ardoino criticised European innovation and the MiCA regulatory framework. Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, said he sees one main risk for Bitcoin by 2026: a possible “AI bubble” in US markets that could spill over into crypto. Speaking on the…
The ECB has completed all technical and preparatory work for the digital euro, with President Christine Lagarde confirming that issuance now depends on the European Parliament and Council passing the necessary legislation in 2026. While rates were left unchanged and inflation is projected to return to the 2% target by 2028, Lagarde stressed the digital euro as a strategic priority to anchor financial stability in the digital age. Its development faces a shifting global landscape marked by the U.S. GENIUS Act supporting dollar stablecoins and President Trump’s active opposition to CBDCs. At the ECB’s final press conference of the year,…
Over the last few months, oil prices have collapsed below $60 a barrel alongside Bitcoin’s slide from $126,000 in October to around $89,000 today.So, does energy’s slide reflect weaker demand or an inflation break that could impact risk assets like Bitcoin going forward?Brent closed at $58.92 and WTI at $55.27, the lowest settlements since early 2021.That move can be read as a macro repricing toward abundant supply and softer consumption.For crypto markets, that framing shifts the focus away from a simple “inflation down, risk up” narrative.Instead, it raises the question of whether a growth scare tightens financial conditions before policy…
Hyperliquid price gained to above $25 as buyers piled into the HYPE token. Lookonchain shared details of two whales adding to their Hyperliquid positions. Lookonchain noted that the large investors had deposited $5 million in USDC into Hyperliquid to purchase more HYPE tokens.

The advance followed a large whale transaction earlier in the session, alongside on-chain data indicating continued accumulation by…
Jamie Coutts, Chief Crypto Analyst at Realvision, believes the Bitcoin bull market isn’t over yet despite substantial falls over the past few months. Coutts told the Tapping Into Crypto podcast that the weakness in crypto is due to macro conditions creating a risk-off environment but he believes Trump is likely to “goose” the US economy before next year’s midterm election creating better conditions for crypto. Coutts also said crypto is now at a “major inflection point” where institutional adoption will see the importance of the four-year cycle decline. Jamie Coutts, the Chief Crypto Analyst at Raoul Paul’s financial education platform…

Bitcoin’s 2025 was billed as the year of the “supercycle,” powered by record institutional access and a friendlier policy backdrop out of Washington.However, it is ending very differently.Into December, the world’s largest digital asset is not pricing in a new paradigm so much as grinding through a performance problem. The rally has faded, spot prices are rolling over, and retail participation has thinned out just as the narrative support has given way to the arithmetic of a correction.As a result, on-chain data now point to what analysts describe as a “bear season,” driven by a structural shortfall in demand for…
