🚀 Will the rise of cryptocurrencies continue in 2026?
Three critical keys
Cryptocurrencies started 2026 strongly, with Bitcoin and Ethereum rising by about 7%, while Dogecoin surged more than 29%. However, according to Matt Hogan, Investment Director at Bitwise, sustaining this momentum depends on three key factors:
🔹 1️⃣ Market stability after the 2025 shock
The biggest obstacle overcome is avoiding a repeat of the October 2025 collapse, which saw $19 billion in contract liquidations. The market now appears calmer and more confident—green light.
🔹 2️⃣ The U.S. CLARITY Act
A bill regulating the crypto market in the United States. Passing it would provide long-term legal clarity, but political disagreements remain—yellow light with cautious optimism.
🔹 3️⃣ The state of stock markets
Crypto doesn't need a strong stock market rally, but it can't withstand a sharp downturn (such as a 20% drop in the S&P 500). Current forecasts are relatively positive—yellow light.
✨ Conclusion:
If the two yellow signals turn green, the 2026 rally could be strong and sustainable, especially with increasing institutional adoption and regulatory progress.
