A Quiet End to 2025 May Spark a Crypto Surge in 2026

Analysts predict that a lackluster end to 2025 could pave the way for a stronger crypto market next year. Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan believes this slower pace of growth is actually strengthening his view that a significant uptick in digital asset prices is on the horizon. This prediction rests upon expectations that rate cuts and loosened quantitative tightening measures will be key drivers behind increased liquidity for cryptocurrencies, fueled by growing stablecoin adoption and tokenization projects, as well as renewed interest in decentralized finance.
