Matrixport: 2026 will be a high-risk year for digital assets, requiring investors to actively manage their positions.

[Matrixport: 2026 Will Be a High-Risk Year for Digital Assets, Requires Active Position Management] Mars Finance reports that Matrixport released a summary of its overall forecast for 2026 on its X platform. The report identifies 2026 as a pivotal year, characterized by a change in Federal Reserve leadership, a weak labor market, heightened policy risks due to an election year, and the most concentrated set of events in the crypto space in years. These include a series of recurring macroeconomic catalysts (such as monthly CPI and employment data), multiple FOMC meetings with new forecasts, and a potential government shutdown window, all contributing to volatility across asset classes. Simultaneously, the crypto space faces its own high-impact triggers: the final implementation of the EU's MicA, major protocol upgrades, the Mt. Gox repayment deadline, and the crucial inflection point window of December this year, just 15 months before the halving. Matrixport states that 2026 will not be a smooth year but rather a series of tightly clustered risk events, requiring investors to remain flexible, actively manage their positions, and accurately time their exposure before and after policy windows.
