Forecasts

Considered price outlooks — one input to your own research, never advice.

NEARNeutral

Our neutral scenario sees NEAR trading in a wide range as its usability and sharding strengths compete with the challenge of holding durable on-chain activity.

2026 target
$7$4 – $14
APTBullish

Our bullish scenario reflects Aptos's strong engineering and fast throughput, tempered by the ongoing task of building durable ecosystem activity as a newer layer 1.

2026 target
$11$5 – $22
ATOMBearish

Our bearish scenario reflects the gap between Cosmos's widely used technology and ATOM's weak value capture from its sovereign-chain ecosystem.

2026 target
$6$4 – $11
UNIBullish

Our bullish scenario reflects Uniswap's dominance in decentralised trading, with UNI's upside hinging on governance directing protocol fees to token holders.

2026 target
$14$7 – $26
XLMNeutral

Our neutral scenario reflects Stellar's clear niche in payments and stablecoins, with upside tied to real transaction and stablecoin adoption.

2026 target
$0.4$0 – $1
BCHNeutral

Our neutral scenario reflects Bitcoin Cash's fixed supply and payment focus, balanced against weaker network effects than Bitcoin.

2026 target
$550$320 – $900
SHIBBearish

Shiba Inu is a sentiment-driven memecoin with an enormous supply, making forecasts highly uncertain and the risk of loss substantial.

2026 target
$0$0 – $0
LTCNeutral

Our neutral scenario reflects Litecoin's battle-tested liquidity balanced against a narrow payments role and competition from stablecoins.

2026 target
$120$70 – $200
POLNeutral

Our neutral scenario reflects Polygon's real adoption and serious scaling roadmap, balanced against a crowded layer-2 landscape.

2026 target
$0.65$0 – $1
DOTBearish

Polkadot's shared-security design and cross-chain messaging remain technically strong, but uneven parachain adoption and heavy layer-1 competition keep our near-term stance cautious. Our modeled scenarios point to a range of roughly $4-$12 in 2026, widening toward $5-$25 by 2030, with a bearish center of gravity until on-chain activity broadens. These are scenarios, not guarantees.

2026 target
$7$4 – $12
LINKBullish

Chainlink's dominance in oracle infrastructure, plus expanding cross-chain and real-world-asset roles, supports a constructive case as tokenization grows. Our scenarios point to roughly $15-$55 in 2026 and $28-$130 by 2030, with a bullish tilt tied to adoption. These are scenarios, not guarantees.

2026 target
$30$15 – $55
AVAXBullish

Avalanche's subnet architecture and growing institutional interest support a constructive case, contingent on attracting durable activity to its ecosystem. Our scenarios point to roughly $28-$100 in 2026 and $45-$220 by 2030, with a bullish tilt tied to real usage. These are scenarios, not guarantees.

2026 target
$55$28 – $100
TRXBullish

TRON's heavy stablecoin settlement activity gives TRX unusually real usage, supporting a steady, lower-volatility base case relative to peers. Our scenarios point to roughly $0.22-$0.55 in 2026 and $0.30-$1.00 by 2030, with a bullish but grounded tilt. These are scenarios, not guarantees.

2026 target
$0.35$0 – $1
DOGENeutral

Dogecoin is driven by sentiment, culture and liquidity rather than fundamentals, making it highly volatile and hard to forecast with confidence. Our neutral scenarios point to roughly $0.12-$0.55 in 2026 and $0.15-$1.00 by 2030. These are scenarios, not guarantees, and DOGE can move sharply on mood alone.

2026 target
$0.28$0 – $1
ADANeutral

Cardano's methodical development and large staking base provide support, but the outlook hinges on translating research into real ecosystem adoption. Our neutral scenarios point to roughly $0.50-$1.60 in 2026 and $0.80-$3.50 by 2030. These are scenarios, not guarantees.

2026 target
$0.9$1 – $2
XRPBullish

XRP's outlook has improved with greater regulatory clarity and expanding payment use cases, supporting a constructive but volatility-prone base case. Our scenarios point to roughly $2-$6 in 2026 and $3-$12 by 2030, with a bullish tilt. These are scenarios, not guarantees.

2026 target
$3.5$2 – $6
BNBBullish

BNB's value is tied to the health of its exchange and chain ecosystem. Steady usage and token burns underpin a constructive base case, tempered by regulatory overhang.

2026 target
$720$480 – $1,000
SOLBullish

High throughput, low fees and a sticky developer and consumer base support a constructive view on Solana — tempered by higher beta to risk sentiment and the network's history of congestion under load.

2026 target
$190$110 – $300
ETHNeutral

Ethereum's move to cheap layer-2 settlement is bullish for usage but reduces base-layer fee burn — a genuine tension that keeps our medium-term stance balanced between the bull and bear cases.

2026 target
$4,200$2,800 – $6,500
BTCBullish

Regulated ETF demand, a post-halving supply squeeze and a maturing derivatives market underpin a constructive medium-term base case for Bitcoin — though volatility remains the price of admission.

2026 target
$92,000$68,000 – $130,000
