COINOTAG News reports that Galaxy Research’s 2026 annual forecast notes Bitcoin volatility remains elevated and difficult to predict in the near term. Still, the projection allows for a potential new all-time high around $250,000 by end-2027, contingent on macro drivers and on-chain catalysts.
On the payments frontier, the forecast suggests stablecoin transaction activity could surpass the U.S. ACH system in 2026, highlighting a shift toward more efficient, tokenized settlement rails.
The report also flags continued momentum for the Solana ecosystem, with expansion expected as enterprises adopt enterprise-grade public blockchains for real-world settlement rather than experimentation.
U.S. markets may welcome additional crypto ETFs and growing institutional inflows, while on-chain payments featuring DeFi, tokenized assets, and AI are projected to shape the next phase of crypto infrastructure.
