Bitcoin has dropped to $90,000, is there still a chance to take off before 2026?

Recently, Bitcoin has dropped again 📉, and the $90,000 mark is precarious. Many friends are asking: is this dip an opportunity to buy the bottom or the start of a bear market?

Potential positive factors for Bitcoin in 2026

Regulatory policies: The U.S. has issued an "ID" for Bitcoin!

The most significant positive news must be that U.S. regulation has finally become clear! The SEC's "Innovation Exemption" policy will take effect in January 2026, allowing crypto projects to test new products without cumbersome registration 🚀. More crucially, the "CLARITY Act" clearly defines Bitcoin as a "digital commodity" under the CFTC's jurisdiction, allowing major investors like pension funds and sovereign funds to enter the market with confidence.

Institutional funds: Wall Street giants are buying up aggressively

Don't be scared by the short-term outflow of ETF funds; on-chain data doesn't lie! The number of whale wallets holding over 1,000 Bitcoins has increased from 1,350 to 1,450 🐋, and MicroStrategy has been buying more as the price drops, now holding over 150,000 Bitcoins. A recent report from Bank of America shows that 59% of institutional investors have allocated at least 10% of their assets to cryptocurrencies, and it is expected that by the end of 2026, institutional holdings will exceed 4.2 million Bitcoins, accounting for 21% of the total circulation!

Institutional funds continue to flow into Bitcoin

Technological upgrades: Bitcoin is also going to "level up"

Bitcoin is not a stagnant old relic! After the BitVM2 mainnet launch in the summer of 2025, Bitcoin will also be able to handle smart contracts and DeFi tasks 💪 that Ethereum can do. The Lightning Network can now process millions of transactions per second, with fees as low as $0.001, and ZK-Rollups will be deployed in Q2 next year, increasing throughput by 1,000 times! With this technological strength, it's no wonder that JPMorgan has started accepting Bitcoin as collateral for loans.

Final reminder: Investing has risks, build your position in batches and don't go all in. Long-term holding is the way to go! How much do you think Bitcoin can reach next year? Let's chat in the comments～
