"Crypto 2025 in retrospect" ā a year of harsh filtering. Congratulations to those who remain standing until the end of the year: you have won the most important battle ā not being eliminated from the game. $BTC $ETH $BNB
If you look at 2026 just by chart, it can be easily misleading. But if you look through infrastructure + cash flow + market behavior, the picture is quite "clean".
A noteworthy piece: Visa allows USDC settlements on Solana with American banks. This is not the kind of news to pump 1ā2 candles. It is something that changes the "pipeline" of payments: when settlement enters the system, the demand for the network and liquidity begins to have a real reason to exist. Real adoption is often not noisy ā it happens quietly, and then the price is what tells the story afterward.
Therefore, with a true bull case (not dreaming), the ATH milestones for 2026 are: ⢠$BTC : 250,000$ ⢠$ETH : 20,000$ ⢠$SOL : 1,500$ ⢠BULLISH: 10$ itās not to "show off targets", but to set an expectation framework when the market structure repeats.
This cycle usually follows the same logic: infrastructure is plugged in ā gradual integration ā liquidity thickens ā narrative explodes ā retail cash flows in late ā ATH. People often look for "news to ring the bell", but the market rarely gives you that privilege. It only gives you signs: infrastructure is being built, and the big players are optimizing their systems.
With the same structure, it often yields the same results. "Simulation" does not always look 100% the same, but the way the market rewards real infrastructure is⦠quite consistent.
