What will the crypto assets market look like in 2026? Barclays Bank has given a somewhat pessimistic forecast - if there are no significant favourable information triggers, next year will fall into a "downward cycle". The revenue of retail investor platforms may come under pressure, and the growth rate of spot trading volume is also declining.

However, the situation in 2025 is different. The launch of the Spot ETF and Bitcoin breaking $100,000 have led analysts to generally be bullish for that year. The key lies in the influx of funds. As you can see, digital assets currently only account for just over 1% of global asset management scale. Once large institutions start to position themselves, how much can this market rise? The potential for growth is quite substantial.

But that being said, the macro environment, central bank policy direction, traditional stock market fluctuations... these are all variables. It's really hard to say where the crypto market is headed.
