If bullish sentiment in the current cryptocurrency market is sustainable to reach 2026, some digital currencies show the potential to attract an increase in capital inflows.
In particular, some assets have strong support from institutional investment products and scale upgrades, making the ambitious target of a $50 billion market capitalization increasingly achievable.
To this end, the following are two assets with outstanding potential to reach this milestone:
dogecoin (doge)
Despite its origins as Meme Coin, Dogecoin (Doge) has steadily gained traction as an investable asset that is increasingly attractive to mainstream investors. This year’s launch of the Grayscale Dogecoin Trust opened the door to system participation, a major shift from past retail-driven gatherings.
At the same time, given the increasing probability of Doge’s Spot Exchange Fund (ETF) approved in the US, assets could see further capital inflows.
At the time of reporting, Doge was trading at $0.26 with a market capitalization of $40.8 billion.
Cardano (there)
Cardano (ADA) is likely to reach a market capitalization of $50 billion in growing network development. Following ongoing work on Vasil upgrades and Hydra scaling solutions, the network is attracting more developers, DAPP and Defi projects.
Key indicators show steady growth in Total Value Lock (TVL) and smart contract activity, as well as key indicators of long-term demand for ADA.
Meanwhile, partnerships with institutions and governments continue to strengthen Cardano’s reputation as a blockchain built for real applications.
At the press conference, the ADA’s market capitalization was approximately $31 billion. This means that it only requires about 60% growth to reach the $50 billion mark. The assets were valued at $0.80.
Despite the potential to attract and attract more capital inflows, both assets face risks that could hinder the path to the $50 billion milestone.
For example, Dogecoin is highly reliant on emotions, leaving it vulnerable to the hype cycle, but Cardano needs to demonstrate that its technology can promote sustained adoption.
