YouHodler CEO Ilya Volkov’s 2026 Crypto Predictions For Stablecoins, AI, Lightning, Bitcoin And More
Ilya Volkov, co-founder and CEO of YouHodler, believes 2026 will see continued mainstream progression for Bitcoin, AI, stablecoins and more. Read on to learn ore.
In 2026, Bitcoin will graduate from alternative asset to global macro asset
“We are witnessing Bitcoin’s transition into the global financial system. By 2026, I expect Bitcoin to be treated less like a speculative asset and more like a macro hedge, like gold. Sovereign wealth funds and pension portfolios across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia will begin disclosing small but symbolic BTC positions. At that point, Bitcoin’s role will shift from a trading instrument to a long-term stabilizer within globally diversified portfolios.”
