Galaxy 2026 Cryptocurrency Forecast: Bitcoin slowly approaches $250,000, Solana's inflation reduction plan will be withdrawn

BTC-4,26%
SOL-4,07%

BlockBeats News, December 29 — Galaxy has released 26 crypto predictions for 2026, including: Bitcoin reaching $250,000 by 2027, with prices gradually approaching, but making clear predictions in 2026 is difficult due to wide implied volatility in options and unstable macroeconomic conditions; Solana’s on-chain economy shifting from Meme cycles to revenue-generating businesses, driving the Internet Capital Market (ICM) market cap from approximately $750 million to $2 billion; Solana’s inflation reduction plan failing to pass (SIMD-0411 withdrawn), leading to a deadlock in Solana’s inflation reforms, which are lower priority than market structure improvements, and no proposals are expected to pass in 2026. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will pave the way for tokenized securities in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, enabling legitimate tokenized securities to integrate into DeFi, with formal rulemaking expected to begin later in 2026. By the end of 2026, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) will account for over 25% of spot trading volume, with more traders and market makers shifting to on-chain trading.
