Recently, Dragonfly partner Haseeb's 2026 crypto market forecast has sparked quite a bit of discussion in the community. He straightforwardly predicts that BTC could surge to $150,000 by the end of the year, which sounds very tempting, but the underlying logic is worth pondering—Bitcoin's market share might decline, meaning other sectors will have to share a bigger slice of the pie.



Public chain ecosystems are clearly diverging. Some projects in the fintech track may disappoint, but Ethereum and Solana are expected to perform beyond expectations. Developers are voting with their feet, flocking toward neutral public chains. An even more explosive prediction is that tech giants like Google and Apple are highly likely to enter the space in 2026 by launching crypto wallets—traditional giants are really coming in to take a share.

Trading and investment patterns are also rapidly changing. In the Perp DEX sector, the top three players are set to capture 90% of the market share, leaving small players with only leftovers; DeFi investment logic is also evolving, with equity-based investments expected to surpass 20%, a completely new approach. The total stablecoin supply is projected to increase by 60%, but USDT remains the absolute main player. Although its position has loosened somewhat, it still firmly holds 55%.

However, there are some more sobering predictions—90% of market products are expected to be淘汰, and AI in crypto applications will only dare to make a move in development tools and security fields, with other areas mostly being虚. Even the 《Clarity》 legislation, before it is implemented, will have to go through repeated negotiations.

BTC hits 150,000, sounds great, but the real punch is the declining market share... Feels like mainstream coins are taking some losses to make room for new contenders. If Google and Apple really get involved, this circle will truly change, it seems like it will attract a lot of retail investors, but they might also get burned badly... 90% of prediction market products will die? That prediction is too harsh, feels a bit exaggerated. Solana has really taken off this time, no need to look at macro factors anymore, following Solana's trend is definitely the right move... DeFi equity investment accounts for 20%, this new approach has some potential, but the risks are also high, better to be cautious. Stablecoins have increased by 60%, USDT remains the dominant leader, I believe in this...

$150,000? Sounds great, but the real killer is the declining market share of BTC. Solana has really taken off this time, developers are voting with their investments, and Google and Apple want a piece of the pie—it's hard to hold back. Perp DEXs control 90%? Then what am I, a small retail investor, supposed to do, haha. Predicting a 90% death rate for the market is a bit harsh, but projects that are虚的 should be淘汰ed. USDT still maintains a 55% share, indicating that the US dollar system is truly hard to shake. AI in crypto can only be used for tools and security? Everything else is just bragging, spot on. Equity investment share has surged to 20%, DeFi gameplay is indeed about to change. Stablecoins rising 60% sounds impressive, but ultimately, it's still the US dollar's world. The ongoing back-and-forth over the Clarity Act is no surprise; traditional regulators always drag their feet. Google and Apple are coming? Then the retail investors' opportunity window might not be open for much longer.

I believe BTC will hit 150,000, but when it comes to market share decline... frankly, it still depends on who can actually deliver something, not just talk big. I’m optimistic about Solana surpassing expectations, but Ethereum, forget it, the ecosystem is too crowded. The real show begins when Google and Apple enter the scene; retail investors better stay alert.

BTC hitting 150,000 sounds great, but how did the logic that BTC's market share is declining suddenly turn around... --- If Google and Apple really enter the market, the landscape will change completely. Will retail investors still have a chance? --- 90% of prediction markets say it's going to die. Is this guy being too absolute? I can't buy into that. --- Solana exceeding expectations? Come on, they say that every time. And then? --- Stablecoins have increased by 60%, mainly supported by USDT. Other cryptocurrencies are really looking shaky. --- Small DEXs have been eaten up by 90% of the market share. Is this the future of Web3? It's a bit scary. --- AI in crypto can only serve as a tool. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't be talking about any revolutionary applications. --- The Clarity Act keeps getting delayed. That's not wrong to say—regulation is always a drag. --- BTC's market share is declining but the price has risen to 150,000. I can't figure out this math. --- Will Ethereum and Solana really surpass expectations? The buzz is already so high, it's hard to see them exceeding it.

BTC hits 150,000 feels great, but the market share decline is the real story, indicating that mainstream coins are no longer as dominant. If Google and Apple really enter the market, I would laugh. Will retail investors still be able to get a piece of the pie then? Can Solana outperform expectations this round? I remain skeptical; it depends on how much the ecosystem can innovate. Eliminating 90% of prediction market products? Not surprising at all; most of them are just air. USDT accounts for 55%, which looks stable, but it feels like it will loosen up sooner or later. Perp DEX giants hold 90%, small coin investors are directly out, it's a classic case of the strong getting stronger. Investing in equity-based DeFi at 20%? Now that's the real change worth paying attention to.
