Looking ahead to 2026, here's what won't happen: explosive blow-off rallies, market collapses, or retail-fueled mania. Instead, expect consolidation. This cycle will be defined by market digestion—institutions sorting through winners and losers, infrastructure maturing, and prices grinding sideways more than exploding upward. It's the boring year that follows the hype, where real builders separate from noise.

2026 will be the year institutions reap their gains; the dream of retail investors getting rich quickly should wake up.

2026 Bottoming Period? To be honest, it's a bit annoying... but indeed, those who truly get things done will surface.

If 2026 really turns out to be this boring, what should we do? I feel like some people won't be able to sit still.

A year of calloused feet, only true diamond hands can endure it

In this year of bottoming out, only the true track and garbage coins can be distinguished from each other.

It's the same old story... institutional cleanup, infrastructure improvement, price stagnation. Basically, there's no profit to be made.

Hmm, it's that same institutional narrative again... Will they really consolidate so obediently?

actually, the true algorithmic beauty of this consolidation phase lies in how blockchain primitives finally get their moment to prove substantive value beyond speculative hash-chasing... institutions are essentially running their own generative sorting algorithms on the market topology, which is precisely what separates signal from noise in the post-hype paradigm
