Will 2026 repeat the script of 2016? From the market cycle perspective, this wave indeed has that flavor.

Think back to the end of 2016, when the crypto market was still in the dark before dawn, but those who understood had already sensed the smell of gunpowder. Looking back now, it was simply a gift from heaven.

Can 2026 bring an upgraded version? Logically, it makes sense — cycles are played out this way. Regulations are gradually being streamlined, institutions continue to increase their positions, and the market maturity is far beyond what it was back then. This time, the foundation for the rise is much more solid than in previous years.

All the necessary preparations must now be made. How 2026 unfolds is the answer to this year’s layout.
