Matrixport: 2026 will be a high-risk year for digital assets, requiring investors to actively manage their positions.

Mars Finance reports that Matrixport has published a summary of the overall forecast for 2026 on the X platform. It believes that 2026 will be a pivotal year, characterized by leadership changes at the Federal Reserve, a softening labor market, increased policy risks during an election year, and the most intense series of events in the crypto space in years, including a series of recurring macro catalysts (such as monthly CPI and employment data), multiple FOMC meetings with new forecasts, and a potential government shutdown window, all of which set the stage for volatility across various asset classes. Meanwhile, the crypto sector also faces its own high-impact trigger factors: the final implementation of EU MiCA, major protocol upgrades, the Mt. Gox repayment deadline, and a critical inflection point window just 15 months before the halving this December. Matrixport states that 2026 will not follow a smooth trend but will be a series of closely packed risk events, requiring investors to stay flexible, actively manage their positions, and precisely seize exposure opportunities around policy windows.
