About this episode

The episode discusses crypto's performance in 2025 and predictions for 2026 with a panel of experts.

In this episode of the Verified Podcast by Bitcoin Suisse, Dominic Weibel sits down with investment strategist Denis Oevermann, crypto market analyst Luca Gnos, and junior portfolio manager Mateo Sansonetti to dissect crypto's performance in 2025 and share their predictions for 2026. The discussion examines why 2025 was a year where crypto overdelivered on fundamentals but underdelivered on price. The panel explores new regulatory frameworks, the pro-crypto stance of the U.S. administration, and the disjointed performance between Bitcoin and altcoins. They analyze the explosive growth of options trading, the rise of prediction markets, and how macroeconomic factors and institutional flows will shape 2026. The conversation also tackles AI's market influence, the potential for Federal Reserve rate cuts, retail sentiment versus institutional positioning, and price predictions for Bitcoin and Ethereum heading into the new year.
