Top 6 Crypto Altcoins to Invest in for 2026

[00:02] history. >> Tokenization of financial assets. So dig the digital assets, those are the two mega trends that are going to totally reshape financial services. >> And with 2026 being the year that three

[00:16] first time ever. >> I'm anticipating we're going to see asset class. [music] >> Here are the top altcoins I believe in to buy and hold in 2026. [music] Now, I'm not a financial adviser. I cannot

[00:31] see the future. Just use today's video as a jumping off point. And of course, to determine which altcoins will do the best in 2026. Let's understand the catalysts coming for crypto specifically in these next 6 months. And what that

[00:45] means for certain coins. Well, number one, and it's no secret, crypto is a macro asset, and we are being getting a big macro shift in monetary policy in reserve management purchases. >> 11 trillion Charles Schwab legacy

[01:03] financial institution says the changing Fed policy may create favorable conditions for Bitcoin. >> We had basically regulatory overhang Bitcoin down significantly probably to the tune of 50% which is why we saw a

[01:17] big spike. We expected uh lower interest rates. We expected more money printing. We didn't get that. So, when you actually factor all of that in, the fact that we're riding that kind of 90k range for Bitcoin really does make sense to

[01:30] me. And I think when you combine that with the fact that we're starting to see uh significant stimulus, u we're going to see real quantitative easing. We've s right now. The the Fed is starting to buy its own bonds. Um and I think I

[01:44] think demand for government debt is going to fall significantly next year along with lower rates. So all of this bodess well for uh you know higher of Bitcoin. >> Now that's just one catalyst. One

[01:59] catalyst on its own does not is for me is not enough. But when we start to see these catalysts lining up for example catalyst number two coming in early 2026 catalyst number two coming in early 2026 the largest piece of crypto legislation

[02:14] ever the market structure build clarity act. The Clarity Act passing would be like a starter gun for ETH and Soul to run into trillions of dollars of value >> is set to unlock trillions of new capital in this space.

[02:27] passed, and when it gets passed, is going to really open up the digital channels even more. The US Senate sets a January 15th markup for crypto market

[02:39] structure bill with ideally or hopefully a passing at the end of January or into February as well as it's crazy to even think about but the crypto ETFs which were approved several months if not years ago. We saw huge inflows into the

[02:54] reasons the price has gone up in the last 2 years. This was all while the major banks like I mean literally the biggest banks in the game while clients were allowed to ask about the crypto ETFs banks weren't allowed to recommend

[03:10] that all just changed in the last few months. Coinbase's head of strategy explains just how big and what a major shift this just was. The crypto ETFs, the Bitcoin ETF and others were the best performing ETFs launched ever in US

[03:26] markets ever. And they did that, and this is really, really important, Talia. They did that without being able to be proactively sold by the army of investment advisors and brokers that generally sell these products.

[03:40] >> Well, reason for the call today, John, is something just came across my desk, John. It is perhaps the best thing I've seen in the last 6 months. If you have >> So, it's a really, really important nuance. These were the single

[03:53] best-selling product in the world and no one was allowed to make a phone call to >> And then of course the third big catalyst coming for crypto in 2026 is the head of the SEC Paul Atkins is on record that they are about to tokenize

[04:09] all of traditional finance. It's called Project Crypto and bring all of traditional finance on the blockchain. >> Are the major banks and the brokers out there today moving increasingly toward tokenization? Oh, absolutely. And it's

[04:23] tokenization? Oh, absolutely. And it's the uh the way the world will uh be uh you know here in the I mean maybe not even in 10 years, maybe even a lot less time, maybe a couple years from now. >> So, that being said, here are my top

[04:37] altcoins, crypto coins for 2026. You will not believe the last one. Watch today's whole video because first coin on the list due to the fundamentals is >> Everybody's excited about stable coins. Mhm.

[04:49] coins and you think there's going to be trillions of dollars flowing into them, >> how do stable coins operate? Mostly on the Ethereum blockchain. >> Because of something called the Genius Act, which passed a couple months ago,

[05:03] stable coins were finally regulated for the first time in crypto history. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant expects this to 10x in the next few years. And the vast amount of stable coins are on Ethereum. In fact, this used to be

[05:15] around 48 47% just a few months. It's now 53%. >> So if you're bullish about stable coins, you are by definition saying that you're >> And here's the dirty little secret on why stable coins, stable coins, the

[05:29] growth of stable coins specifically as they are happening on Ethereum, how that helps the Ethereum price. >> 30% of all fees on Ethereum are actually >> So as this 10xes the amount of fees, the

[05:42] 10x to match. >> What does that mean for Ethereum's price? And what could that do to price? Although I don't agree on Tom Lee's time frame. I mean, this does not have to happen in 2026. This could happen by

[05:56] 2030. So, time frame aside, I do agree with him that if Bitcoin hits a certain level based on past performance, Ethereum can hit these levels. Well, I Ethereum can hit these levels. Well, I think Bitcoin is going to get to 250,000

[06:11] think Bitcoin is going to get to 250,000 uh within a few months. And if Ethereum price ratio to Bitcoin gets back to its 8-year average, that's $12,000 for Ethereum. I mean, that's huge move. If it gets to the 2021

[06:25] that's huge move. If it gets to the 2021 highs, that's $22,000 for Ethereum. But I think Ethereum is going to become the future of finance, the payment rails the future of finance, the payment rails of the future. And if it gets to 0.25

[06:37] relative to Bitcoin, that's 62,000. So, um I think Ethereum at 3,000 of course is grossly undervalued. >> Next coin on today's list that I believe will do very well in 2026 and beyond. And by the way, the further we get on

[06:51] this list, the more speculative yet the more opportunity will get into these coins. But next coin on today's list is Sana. Sana, even though it's about 125th of the value of Ethereum, is already one of or if not the most used chain in

[07:07] crypto. So I think in terms of um Salana's usage uh we are already the Salana's usage uh we are already the most used chain uh and that's not even by a little bit. Salana throughout 2025 is more used than the entire rest of the

[07:21] industry combined times 2 to three. Also as real world assets RWA is clearly a as real world assets RWA is clearly a trend as that grows RWA holders on trend as that grows RWA holders on Solana have surpassed 125,000 holders as

[07:35] adoption continues to grow. And when you think about uh value creation for think about the infrastructure blockchains and how they create value, what it is is like any other tech platform, there's usage which results in

[07:50] fee revenue which results in because you know these networks are userowned infrastructure uh that that fee revenue ends up uh going back to token holders at the end of the day. Users means usage means fees means value.

[08:29] actually just fell out of the top 10. And honestly, 2025 was not a good year for this coin. I'm talking about Cardano. I like it. I like the community. But will it be big in 2026?

[08:44] Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says with the recent launch of Midnight, which is a partner chain that could 10x the ADA ecosystem. People say, "Oh, well, won't this kill Cardano?" No, this is what's going to 10x the Cardano DeFi

[08:57] ecosystem. Because at the end of the day, let's let's do the thought experiment. Let's think about it. Let's say Leo ships and Hydra ships and we're we're better, faster, and cheaper. Great. What reason does someone have to

[09:11] leave Salana? And what reason does someone have to leave Ethereum because the transaction fee is 3% less? Okay, that's really going to get migration. That's going to get users to come over. They're going to leave

[09:26] because they don't have to leave. They can go through midnight to Cardano and they get privacy. they do something new and different. Midnight my view will be through hybrid applications and if Cardano is first to

[09:39] upgrade Cardano applications use utilizing midnight will be able to get all kinds of new users and experiences private prediction markets private dexes private stable coins and I'm just maybe just maybe when you look at Bitcoin DeFi

[09:54] and you think about Bitcoin DeFi maybe just maybe all those Bitcoin people are instead of a public DEX. I don't know. Maybe they care about that. Maybe that's something that's significant, meaningful to them. And maybe we'll have volumes in

[10:08] the billions of dollars of turnaround every single day. Next coin on today's every single day. Next coin on today's list. If you believe like I do that AI, artificial intelligence, the trend is not going away. There'll be dips along

[10:20] the way, but over the next two, five, 10 years, AI is only getting bigger. Next coin on today's list is the infrastructure for decentralized AI, Bit Tensor Tao. Bit Tensor just had their having which means they got doubly as

[10:35] scarce. We understand what happens to Bitcoin 6 12 months after its having historically >> don't forget Tao Bitensor is built very similar to Bitcoin 21 million to fix supply of 21 million tokens a having

[10:49] every four years the only thing that's different is Bit Tensor again the tower different is Bit Tensor again the tower is the token Bit Tensor uh abstracted away the incentive mechanism so it's a very similar idea let's give incentives

[11:02] does that gives incentives to the miners to validate transactions, but Bit Tensor gives incentives to people who come up with better and better AI models or whatever the problems are that the subnets are trying to solve. So, it

[11:16] entrepreneurship. And pay attention to not just what the institutions say, but pay attention to what the institutions do. Gayscale has just filed for an S1. Basically, this would be the first, this is registered with the SEC. This would

[11:31] be the first TA exchangeraded product in the US. A few days later, Bitwise followed suit. Bitwise files for a BitTensor ETF. This is now the second TOW filing with the SEC this week. And notice how it's just at the end of 2025.

[11:47] year. And by the way, if you're looking for a great crypto exchange to buy, sell, or trade these coins, I recommend Exchange Partner Bitunix or Exchange Partner Wex link down below to follow along. You can trade coins. You can buy

[12:01] these coins spot and in fact a limited time get up to $70 instantly on your first deposit. Will not last forever. Link down below. But I will say while 99% of altcoins and I will say even specifically AI altcoins will not

[12:17] survive just like the [snorts] early internet days, most won't survive. I like that bit tensor sort of the infrastructure because there's hundreds of subnets that are seeding the next AI startup. about a subnet um as a

[12:31] competition. Anybody can launch a subnet. There's a a cost to register a subnet, but anybody can launch a subnet. And so there's now 128 subnets and you know I think the future of potensor is you know hundreds thousands tens of

[12:45] thousands of subnets. Um and the owner of the subnet kind of they they set the of the subnet kind of they they set the rules and essentially the world competes to uh win that competition. And so there's subnets that are focused on uh

[13:00] drug discovery on predicting sports outcomes. There's compute subnets. outcomes. There's compute subnets. There's um inference subnets and um it's really it it's really exciting to kind of see all the different applications

[13:13] that are being launched. Next coin on today's list, by the way, click the like button if you're getting value today. but two honorable mentions that don't specifically make my list because I can't invest in every altcoin. But that

[13:27] invested in aren't doing big things. We cover these coins on the channel all the cover these coins on the channel all the time. But XRP as well as two altcoins made the list. Definitely coins to watch in 2026. But a coin that I think is

[13:41] flying under a lot of people's radars iso. Hondo is essentially tokenizing finance and bringing it on chain. So 2026 I believe will be the continued

[13:53] year of institutions. Institutions came in a little bit in 2024 for Bitcoin, bigger in 2025. And of course with the SEC tokenizing trado is institutional grade finance bringing it all onchain for everybody. And the

[14:09] news today is major announcements are coming for Andone 2026 on February 3rd of this year. World leaders, investors, policy makers are reconvening. They did

[14:21] this about a year ago in New York for Ando Summit. I'll be watching and I will keep you informed as big announcements happen. And final coin that I think could be big in 2026. Again, maybe these altcoins go to zero, especially the

[14:34] lower cap. you you're taking on more risk the lower the the smaller altcoins you go for. You understand the risk you're taking, but I think Propy could be big. What is Propy? Well, it's essentially real estate on chain.

[14:48] They're US licensed again. They're US licensed title and escrow closing. They're backed again by Coinbase and they're bringing the real estate houses, which I think is only going to be a bigger talking point as we get to

[15:02] midterms. They're bringing it onchain tokenizing. If there's an altcoin that I missed, comment down below. We will be revisiting these coins and maybe a coin you comment down below in future videos. I will keep you updated through 2026 as

[15:16] good news and bad news for these coins develop. Like all we see tomorrow.
