Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan pointed out that the three key conditions for continued cryptocurrency growth in 2026 are: avoiding major market shocks similar to the 2025 liquidation event; the U.S. Congress passing the currently under review Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act; and a stable stock market environment. Given that Bitcoin and Ethereum have already risen 7% this year and risk appetite has rebounded, Bitwise believes the current situation is positive, but it depends on policy developments and broader market cooperation.
