JPMorgan expects capital inflows into the cryptocurrency market to continue rising in 2026 after nearly $130 billion entered the sector in 2025, and it notes the market is showing signs of recovery following a sharp October crash last year. The bank links the inflows to renewed investor interest and improved market conditions.
Jamie Dimon previously expressed skepticism about cryptocurrencies, but the institution later moved to support the asset class as demand grew. The bank’s shift reflects wider institutional engagement with digital assets despite earlier reluctance.
Bernstein and Grayscale also view 2026 as a potential peak year, arguing that Bitcoin is following a five-year trajectory that could produce a new high. Bernstein projects Bitcoin may reach about $150,000 sometime this year.
By contrast, Barclays expects challenges ahead, citing low spot trading volumes and falling demand as headwinds for the crypto market in 2026. The bank’s outlook highlights divergent institutional views on near-term prospects.
Market action shows tentative strength: Bitcoin briefly breached $97,000 for the first time since November 2025, a move that could presage a test of the $100,000 level. Still, broad macroeconomic concerns have pushed many investors to reduce risk exposure and favor safe-haven assets.
Investors’ risk-off stance and demand for gold and silver may limit immediate gains in the crypto market until those macroeconomic trends shift. The sector’s trajectory in 2026 will depend on whether inflows and trading activity sustain.
