VanEck's 2026 outlook, presented by David Schassler, predicts Bitcoin will emerge as one of the top-performing assets by 2026. Despite Bitcoin lagging behind the Nasdaq 100 by approximately 50% this year, Schassler emphasized the cryptocurrency's robust fundamentals. He noted Bitcoin's historical resilience to monetary devaluation and its potential to benefit from returning liquidity. The firm anticipates that a combination of monetary devaluation, technological shifts, and the appeal of hard assets will drive the crypto markets forward. VanEck underscores Bitcoin's significance as a focal point for long-term growth, maintaining its status as a critical asset in the evolving financial landscape.
