Galaxy 2026 Crypto Predictions: Bitcoin Slowly Nearing $250,000, Solana Inflation Reduction Proposal to Be Withdrawn

2025.12.29 11:28:41

On December 29, Galaxy released 26 crypto predictions for 2026, including these key insights: - Bitcoin is projected to hit $250,000 by 2027, with its price rising gradually. However, a clear 2026 forecast is challenging due to broad market options and macroeconomic volatility. - Solana’s on-chain economy will shift from meme cycles to revenue-generating businesses, pushing the Internet Capital Market (ICM) market cap from roughly $750 million to $2 billion. - Solana’s inflation reduction proposal (SIMD-0411) will be withdrawn, leaving its inflation reform deadlocked—this issue will rank lower in priority than market structure improvements, and no such proposals are expected to pass in 2026. - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will pave the way for tokenized securities in decentralized finance (DeFi), allowing legal tokenized securities to integrate into DeFi. Formal rulemaking is set to begin later in 2026. - By the end of 2026, decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume will make up over 25% of spot trading volume, as more traders and liquidity providers shift to on-chain trading.

SEC plans to unveil a major cryptocurrency initiative, covering customized issuance of crypto investment contracts and security tokenization.

As the Crypto Market Structure Act (dubbed the CLARITY Act) stalls in the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to roll out two major initiatives in the coming days that could further boost the U.S. crypto industry. The SEC announced it will hold a public meeting on Friday to "establish a customized issuance mechanism for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets". Additionally, the SEC plans to soon unveil an "innovation exemption" initiative allowing trading of tokenized securities. This move could reshape the U.S. stock market landscape and pave the way for 24/7 trading of stock tokens on blockchain.

Trend-following funds have taken a record short position in global bonds, with the US CPI report expected to be the key determinant of their profit and loss.

According to Bloomberg, data from UBS Group shows that Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs), which seek to profit from price movements across various asset classes, tripled their underweight positions in bonds in July from two weeks prior. Since then, these bets have remained stable. If the upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) push Treasury prices higher, the CTAs face the risk of losses. Strategist Nicolas Le Roux noted that a 1-basis-point move in the 10-year Treasury yield ahead of inflation data translates to roughly $300 million in profit or loss for CTAs, with this exposure being the largest UBS has recorded since it began compiling relevant data in 1990.

Brad Lightcap, head of special projects at OpenAI, is set to depart.

According to a report from The Information, Brad Lightcap, head of special projects and former chief operating officer (COO) of OpenAI, is set to leave the company. Over the past year, Lightcap’s internal responsibilities at OpenAI have undergone multiple adjustments, with his latest role being leading "special projects". A long-time core member of OpenAI’s management team, Lightcap shifted from his COO position to lead special projects in early 2026 during an executive reshuffle, overseeing cross-company matters including complex transactions and strategic investments, and reporting directly to CEO Sam Altman. His departure comes as OpenAI continues to expand its commercialization efforts, advance enterprise business and strategic partnerships. The company has previously implemented multiple rounds of organizational restructuring, including transferring some COO responsibilities to other executives. Brad Lightcap joined OpenAI in 2018, and prior to that held roles at Y Combinator and JPMorgan Chase. He was one of the key operations and business leaders during OpenAI’s transition from a research institute to a commercial AI company.
