Recently, the crypto community has been discussing a topic—whether a super cycle will arrive next year. Industry insiders predict that 2026 could be a key turning point for the crypto market, with signals of cyclical growth becoming increasingly evident.



If a super cycle does indeed occur, how should investors position themselves? That’s a good question. Based on historical experience, when a super cycle arrives, market focus tends to concentrate on a few core assets.

Bitcoin is the eternal cornerstone. As the flagship asset of the crypto market, it is always the first choice in any cycle. In the context of expectations for 2026, the logic of holding BTC is quite simple—it is the market’s barometer.

Ethereum cannot be overlooked either. As the largest application chain, ETH’s ecosystem activity continues to grow, with DeFi, NFTs, and various new applications constantly evolving. During cyclical upswings, it often performs quite well.

There are also some other mainstream coins worth paying attention to, but the core still depends on your risk tolerance and investment cycle. Avoid chasing hot trends excessively; focusing on the long-term value of mainstream coins is the key.
BTC-3,87%
ETH-6,96%

2026 Super Cycle? Sounds like the old cycle theory again, wake up everyone. --- BTC is forever the cornerstone, there's no problem with that, but those who really make money are always the ones who panic sell. --- I believe in the evolution of the ETH ecosystem, but I'm just worried it might be another wave of altcoins repeatedly cutting the leeks. --- Don’t tell me to chase mainstream coins, I like to operate contrarily. Now most people are optimistic about certain assets, I play the opposite. --- Risk tolerance sounds good in theory, but in actual operation, who doesn’t go all-in? --- That’s right, but the problem is 99% of people can’t hold on, they cut their losses before the super cycle even arrives. --- Predict 2026? Bro, the crypto world turns every three months, who dares to guarantee what will happen next year. --- Historical experience? History is always rewritten, don’t be brainwashed by this rhetoric.

It's the topic of a super cycle again, I'm tired of hearing about it... But honestly, BTC is indeed the ballast, there's nothing to argue about on that. Just listen, don't really take 2026 as the savior, how many times have we heard "it will rise next year"? The ETH ecosystem is indeed moving, but don't forget the pressure from L2, Bitcoin is still the most stable. Basically, it's about stacking BTC + ETH, holding blindly, and not being fooled by various new coins. Next year will be another year, and this year didn't drop much... Keep a calm mindset.

2026 Super Cycle? Sounds good, but who can really predict it accurately? Just buy the dip in BTC and ETH, everything else is虚的 This time they're probably going to harvest the leeks again... Long-term holding of mainstream coins is indeed reliable, but it feels a bit late to enter now After listening to cycle theories for so many years, I still think analyzing the technicals is the most honest
