Crypto Leaders Predict Bitcoin Surge in 2026

Despite numerous hiccups in my 2025 journey with Bitcoin, I’m starting to feel hopeful once again. Industry experts like Bill Barhydt, CEO of Abra, think a surge in Bitcoin prices is imminent due to several positive factors they see unfolding. My gut, and I reckon many investors, would love to see easing monetary policy inject substantial liquidity into markets and drive the price higher. That’s exactly what Barhydt anticipates, and he says the Fed starting to buy its own bonds will indeed lead to lower interest rates, a perfect scenario for Bitcoin price growth.

Now, I must emphasize that Duong from Coinbase, is also super optimistic about crypto growth. The head of investment research expects strong momentum from ETFs, tokenization, and stablecoins; not to mention, he’s banking on clearer regulations from the US which will provide a more stable environment for product development and market growth.

But it isn’t just me, my predictions for 2026 seem to be sharing common ground. The fact that the SEC took a step back as per news, shows Donald Trump’s return to the White House has ushered in, an environment that’s more welcoming to cryptocurrency; paving the way for better adoption and expansion across the board, my friends. This relaxed regulatory environment will give a boost to the widespread use of crypto in payments and settlements; which is great news for institutions too.

In the end, I firmly believe the crypto space will have a phenomenal comeback in 2026. With the right amount of liquidity and a better environment, industry leaders like me can’t help but feel certain that Bitcoin is going places and there’s a surge on the Horizon.
