JPMorgan Analysts Identify Indicators of Cryptocurrency Market Growth, 2026/02/12 16:23:18

The enhancement of digital asset regulation in the United States may serve as a key driver for the growth of the cryptocurrency market by the end of the year, according to analysts from the financial holding company JPMorgan.

Banking experts believe that CLARITY, which delineates the responsibilities of American regulatory financial agencies overseeing cryptocurrencies and clarifies the issue of stablecoin profitability, will rekindle interest in major cryptocurrencies.

“We have a positive outlook for the cryptocurrency market in 2026, as we anticipate a continued influx of capital into digital assets, primarily from institutional investors,” representatives of one of the largest American banks stated.

Analysts also identified the situation surrounding mining as an additional stabilizing factor for the market. Currently, the cost of mining Bitcoin is estimated at approximately $77,000 per coin, while the market price of the leading cryptocurrency is below this level—around $68,000. A decline in BTC prices below the mining threshold could compel some miners to exit, which may eventually lead to a reduction in overall costs and market stabilization, according to the financial holding’s analysts.

They noted a shift in the situation with gold. Since October, the most expensive precious metal has outperformed the leading cryptocurrency in terms of returns, although its volatility has significantly increased. In this context, Bitcoin, despite sharp price fluctuations, appears to be an increasingly attractive long-term investment tool, according to JPMorgan.

Previously, specialists from the crypto trading firm Wintermute indicated that the cryptocurrency market has entered an unstable phase, where major virtual coins will face sharp and unpredictable price fluctuations.
