Viewpoint: Bitcoin will rise to 180,000 USD in this cycle

According to CoinDesk, veteran crypto investor Dan Tapiero stated, "If you invest $10,000 in crypto assets in 2026, I think you can allocate the funds directly to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana; how to allocate specifically depends on your preference."

Dan Tapiero believes that the biggest opportunities in the cryptocurrency space in 2026 lie in the proliferation of infrastructure and stablecoins. Tapiero indicated that he expects Bitcoin to rise to $180,000 in this cycle, due to the combined effects of increasing demand and a shift in global monetary policy. The decline in interest rates and massive government investments in AI infrastructure will bring strong positive factors. This global push is causing all fiat currencies, including the dollar, to depreciate, which is very favorable for Bitcoin.

Tapiero sees good growth prospects in tokenization, the integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence, and on-chain prediction markets, but he is cautious about crypto treasury companies, believing that these trends have not brought much real innovation.
