Will the crypto market enter a super cycle in 2026? Analysts provide these key predictions

【BlockBeats】The crypto industry has shown strong performance in 2025, and there is still considerable imagination space for 2026.

Looking back at the past year: although Bitcoin experienced a correction in Q4, with a decline of about 6%, crypto concept stocks outperformed with an average increase of 59%—the gap is truly astonishing. If you didn’t buy those related stocks early on, you might be regretting it now.

What about 2026? Some analysis institutions believe the opportunities are just beginning.

Tokenization Becomes the New Theme

Tokenization will become the main theme throughout the year. It’s not a new concept, but this year is indeed different. The volume of stablecoins will expand rapidly—projected to grow by 56%, reaching a total scale of $420 billion, driven mainly by payments and fintech sectors. Even traditional financial giants like Block, Revolut, and PayPal are now entering the space, indicating a shift in the trend.

More exciting is RWA (Real-World Asset Tokenization). The total locked-up amount may jump from $37 billion to $80 billion, and the proportion of tokenized equity could soar from 2% to 16%. Old-school banks are also getting restless, with some starting to plan their own tokenization projects.

Bitcoin’s Target Price

Regarding Bitcoin, the bottom has been confirmed, with a target price pointing to $150,000 in 2026. By the 2027 cycle peak, it could reach as high as $200,000. This number sounds large, but compared to current prices, it’s not that far-fetched.

Market Forecasts

Prediction markets are expected to double trading volume to $70 billion, with annual revenue around $1.4 billion. If the US mid-term elections proceed as scheduled, related platforms will receive more policy support, which is a significant catalyst.

How to Position

If you want to participate in this wave, consider these directions: companies involved in tokenization infrastructure, Bitcoin direct exposure targets, and AI and computing power-related sectors. For specific stocks, you’ll need to do your own research.
