4 Cryptocurrency Predictions for 2026
What a difference a year makes in the cryptocurrency arena. Whereas digital currencies left Wall Street's iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average, benchmark S 500, and growth-powered Nasdaq Composite eating their dust in 2024, it's been a different story in 2025.
Despite a catalyst-fueled year, the cumulative value of all digital currencies has declined by 9% to $2.97 trillion, as of late afternoon on Dec. 27. This compares to double-digit gains for the Dow, S 500, and Nasdaq Composite, all of which ascended to several record-closing highs.
While 2025 has been somewhat of a disappointment, many of the most popular cryptocurrencies, led by Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), have crushed Wall Street's major stock indexes over the last decade. This fact has crypto investors excited about the future.
