Bitcoin prices could rise in 2026 as looser monetary policy injects fresh liquidity into global markets overall global conditions.
Bill Barhydt, chief executive of Abra, said easing conditions could reignite demand for risk assets like Bitcoin.
Speaking to the Schwab Network, Barhydt said the US Federal Reserve may continue cutting interest rates next year.
He added that policymakers could revive quantitative easing as demand for government debt weakens.
We are seeing quantitative easing light right now. The Fed is starting to buy its own bonds. I think demand for government debt is going to fall significantly next year, along with lower rates. All of this bodes well for all assets, including Bitcoin.
Barhydt said.
He said regulatory clarity in the United States and growing institutional investment could support long term sentiment.
Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group data showed only 14.9% expect a January interest rate cut.
The figure fell from 23% in November, reflecting reduced confidence in near term easing.
Other analysts disagreed, warning that 2026 could bring further downside pressure.
Early Bitcoin investor Michael Terpin said prices could bottom near $60,000 in late 2026.
Anything other than a GOP sweep in the midterms will cripple further regulatory friendliness.
Terpin said.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $87,620.15.
