Bitwise Claims Bitcoin Will Hit $200K by 2026-Again! 💸📈

Oh, come on, let’s not forget the last time someone said Bitcoin would hit $200K. Cue dramatic music But here we are, with Ryan Rasmussen from Bitwise doing the crypto equivalent of a “trust me, I know what I’m talking about” face. 🤷‍♀️

Is The Bottom In For Bitcoin? 🤔

According to Rasmussen, we’re “closer to the bottom than we’ve been for weeks.” Because nothing says “market stability” like a 50% drop. He’s calling the current sell-off a “maturing-market shakeout,” which sounds like a fancy way of saying “everyone’s panicking, but it’s totally normal.” 😂

When asked if Bitcoin ETFs are a double-edged sword, Rasmussen nodded like a confused owl. “More liquidity, more chaos,” he said, as if that makes sense. “Institutionalization is great… but also, why is everything so volatile?!”

He’s all about the long-term, though. “The buyers today are more long-term than ever!” he declared, while ignoring the fact that “long-term” might mean “until the next crash.” 🕵️‍♂️

Meanwhile, corporate treasuries are taking a break from buying Bitcoin. “They’re just… not as excited anymore,” Rasmussen sighed. Because nothing says “confidence” like a sudden drop in demand. 💸

Bitcoin Still Set for $200,000 By 2026 🚀

“Lower prices are a gift and a curse,” Rasmussen said, as if that’s a real thing. “But we believe Bitcoin will end the year higher!” Sure, because nothing says “optimism” like a 50% drop. 🤯

He’s convinced institutions are finally “here,” but also “not deploying all their capital yet.” So it’s like a slow burn, but with more jargon. “Harvard is buying Bitcoin now!” he added, as if that’s proof of anything. 🎓

On macro stuff, he admitted Bitcoin now reacts to central bank decisions. “Who knew?” he said, while everyone else was busy screaming into the void. 🤡

And yes, he’s sticking to his $200K target for 2026. “It’s safe to say it won’t happen this year,” he said, “but 2026? Absolutely!” Because who doesn’t want to bet on a 2026 miracle? 🕊️

At press time, BTC was at $91,205. Because nothing says “confidence” like a 50% drop. 📉

• tag under 100 characters. No tags, no colors, retain images, add humor and sarcasm with emojis. Also, the title shouldn’t be repeated in the body. First, I need to understand Bill Bryson’s style. He’s known for witty, engaging, and slightly irreverent commentary, often with a mix of humor and informative content. I should infuse that into the rewritten text. The original text is about crypto pundits being bullish on Bitcoin despite stagflation fears and Fed rate cut hopes. The title needs to be catchy and clickbait. Let me brainstorm some options. Maybe something like “Bitcoin’s Bull Run: Will Stagflation Spoil the Party? 🚀💸” That’s under 100 characters and includes emojis. It’s catchy and hints at the conflict between bullish crypto and economic concerns. Next, the body. Replace technical jargon with more conversational and humorous language. For example, instead of “sluggish growth,” maybe “economic snoozefest.” Use emojis to add flair.Analyzing the situation… Ensure the structure remains the same, keeping all the images in place. Add some sarcastic remarks, like comparing economic data to a reality TV show or mentioning that experts are “optimistic despite the chaos.” Check for any tags and remove them. Don’t apply any color styles. Make sure the title is only in the tag and not repeated elsewhere. Verify that all images are retained and the HTML structure is correct. Also, ensure the humor and sarcasm are present without being too over the top. Maybe add a joke about the Fed’s rate cuts being a “magic wand” or stagflation being a “ghost story.” Finally, proofread to ensure the character count for the title is under 100 and that the HTML is valid. Make sure the rewritten text flows naturally in Bryson’s style, with a mix of informative content and light-hearted commentary. Done in 8s. Bitcoin’s Bull Run: Will Stagflation Spoil the Party? 🚀💸 What to know: The U.S. economy is playing a game of hot potato with stagflation, mixing stagnant growth and rising prices like a bad reality TV show. Crypto gurus are still bullish on Bitcoin, eyeing Fed rate cuts and a “structural bull run” that makes Wall Street look like a toddler’s scribble. They’ve already picked their favorite altcoins to ride the next crypto rollercoaster. Spoiler: Solana is the golden child. Thursday’s economic data dropped a bombshell: the U.S. might be flirting with stagflation. You know, that 1970s nightmare of stagnant growth, job market limbo, and inflation that makes your coffee cost $50? Yeah, it’s back. But crypto enthusiasts? They’re sipping margaritas on a digital beach, ignoring the storm. 🏖️ Why the optimism? Because the Federal Reserve is expected to play magician, pulling rate cuts out of a hat to keep the market’s heart beating. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is hitting all-time highs like it’s a TikTok dance challenge, and the dollar index is on a downward spiral faster than my Wi-Fi during a Zoom call. 💀 Shane Molidor of Forgd, a crypto oracle with a side of swagger, told CoinDesk, “Bitcoin’s the new gold-plated piggy bank for people who hate fiat money. It’s not just a gamble-it’s a hedge against your savings being turned into confetti by governments.” August’s inflation report? A 0.4% monthly spike, pushing the annual rate to 2.9%. Meanwhile, unemployment claims hit a four-year high. Oh, and the BLS just admitted they miscalculated jobs data for 2025. Classic! 🤷♂️ Bitcoin briefly hit $116,000-because why not?-while altcoins like Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK), and Dogecoin are doing cartwheels. Traders are betting the Fed will cut rates by 25 basis points in September, and who are we to argue? They’ve been cutting rates since the invention of the wheel. 🚀 Le Shi of Auros made a point so obvious it’s almost profound: the “Magnificent 7” stocks are stagflation-proof because they’re spending billions on AI. If you can’t beat the economy, outsource your problems to robots. 🤖 Sam Gaer of Monarq Asset Management summed it up: “Stagflation is a ghost story. The Fed’s magic wand (aka rate cuts) will calm the markets, and crypto will keep climbing like it’s on a sugar high.” Markus Thielen of 10x Research added, “Inflation’s about to take a nosedive. Risk assets? They’re dancing on a tightrope while the Fed waves a green flag. Buckle up for the ride.” Standout tokens Bitcoin’s not the only star in the crypto galaxy. Solana (SOL) is the new kid on the block, with demand so hot it could melt a Bitcoin miner’s GPU. SOLBTC is flirting with the 0.002 level, and investors are throwing money at it like it’s Black Friday in Web3. 🛒 Then there’s Ethena’s ENA token and its synthetic dollar, USDe, which is basically the crypto version of a money tree. And Hyperliquid’s HYPE token? It’s the go-to for young investors who think “high-risk, high-reward” is just a lifestyle. 🎢 Shane Molidor quipped, “Hyperliquid’s for people who want to trade like they’re in a casino, not a library. And Ethena? It’s the crypto equivalent of a free lunch when the Fed cuts rates. Who needs sleep when you’ve got yield?” So, will stagflation crash the party? Probably not. The Fed’s rate cuts are the ultimate party favor, and crypto’s the DJ spinning the tracks. Just don’t forget to bring sunscreen for the bull run. ☀️
