2025 “was one of the most consequential years Bitcoin has ever had. Regulatory clarity improved. The technical stack continued to harden. User adoption continues to expand with more on-ramps and layer 2 solutions coming online. While most of the market fixated on charts, the foundation kept getting stronger.

“Institutional capital is no longer circling, it is here. Nation states are no longer whispering, they are experimenting in public. Bitcoin has continued to mature, and it increasingly looks less like a speculative asset and more like global sound money. Heading into 2026, the question is not if Bitcoin works, it’s whether the average person is ready for the world that is forming around it.”

We are kicking off this year with some comments & predictions from our CEO, David Parkinson, and other industry leaders being featured by Bitcoin News. We look at the economy at large, the threats facing individuals and businesses more broadly in the context of AI and other factors, and the adoption of Bitcoin as a new global collateral & payments layer.
