What to know:

  • Galaxy Research, the research arm of Galaxy Digital (GLXY), says overlapping macroeconomic and market risks make bitcoin unusually difficult to forecast in 2026.
  • The firm says that options pricing and volatility trends indicate that bitcoin is maturing into a more macro-like asset, rather than a high-growth trade.
  • Galaxy maintains a long-term bullish outlook, projecting that bitcoin could reach $250,000 by the end of 2027.
