Matrixport released a summary of its overall forecast for 2026 on the X platform, stating that 2026 may be a crucial turning point for the digital asset market. Factors such as leadership changes at the Federal Reserve, weakening labor market, rising policy uncertainty in an election year, along with monthly CPI and employment data releases, upcoming FOMC meetings with new forecasts, and potential government shutdown windows, could all increase volatility across various asset classes. Additionally, the crypto market itself will face several high-impact events, including the final implementation of EU MiCA regulations, important protocol upgrades, approaching Mt. Gox repayment deadlines, and a key time point approximately 15 months away from the next halving. Matrixport points out that 2026 is more likely to see a pattern of intensive release of risk events, rather than a smooth one-sided market, requiring investors to maintain flexible strategies, actively manage positions, and make reasonable adjustments around key policy and event windows.
