What Role Will Crypto Play in 2026 Markets?

As geopolitical tensions, oil prices, and U.S. dollar stability come back into focus, investors are debating crypto’s role in the 2026 market cycle. Some see Bitcoin and crypto as a hedge against macro shocks, while others view it as a liquidity-driven risk asset. How do you expect crypto to behave in 2026?

2026 will be the year many predictions come true especially Tom Lees Bitcoin and Ethereum predictions. The reason it will happen is once we get a good 10 % move up the true realization FOMO will take over and many that had their heads in the sand will decide and admit they had second guessed and don’t want to miss the boat. It is never too late to jump into crypto seeing we are probably only about 20 % of its lifecycle climb. Speaking of predictions the next generation will be the wealthiest of all priors from crypto and inheritances and for this reason we also need to be heavily invested in Robinhood HOOD as it becomes the next generation’s wealth manager. There is very strong probability HOOD share price will be 6 to 9 times from here in the next ten years.

gotta say, I'm pretty surprised by the leader here, thought for sure speculative trade would be the leader still

Tokenization of assets will be the biggest theme. It is as undervalued as AI was before the ChatGPT launch. Sam92 up there also has a good point. We have not seen the second half of a bull cycle for this cycle nor for the one 4 years ago yet.
