#crypto 📈 Crypto Investments 2026: The End of the “Four-Year Cycle” or a New Stage?
$BTC $ETH $XRP 2025 did not live up to expectations for a classic “all-season”, but laid the foundation for a historic shift. For the first time in 15 years, corporations, institutions and regulators are moving in the same direction.
Here are three main investment pillars on which 2026 will stand:
1.
#bitcoin : Death of the Old Cycle?
Historically, Bitcoin has peaked 12–18 months after the halving. If you believe the numbers, October 2025 should have been the top. However, analysts from Bitwise and Global Macro Investor believe that the 4-year cycle has “died”.
• Why is everything different: The capital of giants (Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo) has entered the market, which has longer planning horizons.
• Forecast: With Fed easing and ETF inflows, Bitcoin could break the mold and continue its rise throughout 2026.
2.
#stablecoin Infrastructure: A Quiet Revolution 💵
Stablecoins have outgrown their status as a “trading tool.” With a market cap of over $300 billion, they are becoming the foundation of global payments.
• Key Event: The GENIUS Act passed in the US, legalizing the issuance of stablecoins by banks.
• Where to look for profit: Stablecoins themselves are not growing in value, but investment interest is shifting to the infrastructure: issuers (Circle), networks, payment rails, and custodial services.
3.
#Tokenization of Assets (RWA): From Theory to Wall Street 🏦
Larry Fink (BlackRock) was right — tokenization of everything is becoming a reality. The real-world tokenized asset market has already surpassed $30 billion.
• What’s being tokenized: US bonds, private loans, and even stocks (as Kraken and Coinbase already do for international markets).
• Why it matters: It provides 24/7 access to assets, instant settlements, and transparency. For the 2026 investor, RWA is the most fundamental bet on the convergence of crypto and traditional finance.
