Dan Tapiello, an experienced cryptocurrency investor, shared his predictions for the cryptocurrency market in 2026.
Tapiello said that if he were to invest $10,000 in crypto assets in 2026, he would allocate his portfolio directly to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. He added that the proportion of this allocation depends entirely on personal preference.
According to Tapiero, the biggest opportunities in the cryptocurrency market in 2026 lie in infrastructure investment and the proliferation of stablecoins. He argued that the increased use of stablecoins, especially in payment systems and financial infrastructure, will add long-term and lasting value to the sector.
Tapiello also made a notable prediction regarding the price of Bitcoin, predicting that Bitcoin could rise to $180,000 within the current market cycle. He based his forecast on the combined effects of increased demand and changes in global monetary policy, noting lower interest rates and significant government investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure as strong positive factors. According to Tapiero, this global trend has led to the depreciation of all fiat currencies, including the US dollar, creating a highly favorable environment for Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, Tapiello said there is high growth potential in tokenization, the integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence, and the on-chain prediction market. However, experienced investors expressed caution regarding crypto treasury companies, arguing that these structures have not yet brought significant innovation to the sector.
