Matrixport: 2026 will be a high-risk year for digital assets.

Matrixport released a summary of its 2026 overall forecast on the X platform, stating that 2026 may be a key turning point for the digital asset market. On the macro level, a change in leadership at the Federal Reserve, a weakening labor market, and increased policy uncertainty due to the election year, coupled with the release of monthly CPI and employment data, the FOMC meeting with new forecasts, and a potential government shutdown, could all push up volatility across various asset classes. Meanwhile, the crypto market itself will face several high-impact events, including the final implementation of the EU's MiCA rules, upgrades to important protocols, the approaching Mt. Gox repayment deadline, and the crucial 15-month mark before the next halving. Matrixport points out that 2026 is more likely to see a concentrated release of risk events rather than a stable, one-sided market. Investors need to maintain flexible strategies, actively manage their positions, and adjust their exposure appropriately before and after key policy and event windows.
