A recent major signal has attracted market attention—one top U.S. bank officially advised its clients to allocate 4% of their investment portfolios to Bitcoin. This shift by traditional financial institutions marks a fundamental change in mainstream capital's attitude towards digital assets.



From a historical perspective, the Kondratiev wave theory provides clear timing references. Observing the market peaks in 1999 and 2019, the current market performance shows remarkable similarities to these historical points. According to the evolution of the Kondratiev cycle, 2026 will become a critical inflection point, indicating that a new wave of major market movements may be brewing.

Macroeconomic changes are also fueling this trend. This year, the Federal Reserve's rate cuts are expected to exceed 100 basis points, meaning a large amount of liquidity will be released into the market. In an environment where traditional asset yields are declining, capital will inevitably seek higher appreciation opportunities. The cryptocurrency market, with its high liquidity and growth potential, has become the most attractive target for this capital.

Against this backdrop, investors should focus on two main themes. First is Bitcoin, as the value anchor of the crypto market, whose store of value properties are likely to be re-priced by global capital. Second are Meme coins, which tend to generate excess returns driven by rising market sentiment and hot money. The opportunities during this period warrant close attention.
BTC-0,14%
MEME-1,91%

Are banks starting to promote BTC? A big market in 2026? Sounds good, but I'm still a bit nervous.

Banks are starting to recommend Bitcoin. What does that mean? It means we're not gambling; we're investing, brother.

Banks are starting to recommend Bitcoin? This really changes everything; mainstream acceptance has indeed increased. I need to mark the 2026 milestone; the Kondratiev cycle logic seems reliable... As liquidity decreases, funds will have to find a place to go.

Banks are now offering a 4% match, so mainstream funds are really about to come in.

Big banks are starting to recommend holding BTC, and now traditional finance really can't sit still anymore. 2026 big market move? Then I need to stock up on bullets, so I don't end up with no money to get in later. Cutting interest rates and flooding the market + Kondratiev wave cycle, this combo is indeed a bit deadly. Where liquidity flows to, it’s still heading into the crypto space. Meme coins are about to take off again? Last time I heard you say that, I lost a lot, haha. The fact that mainstream funds are entering suggests that our early positioning still has an advantage. A 4% allocation may not seem like much, but if it’s truly a global consensus, that would be too exaggerated. Bitcoin as a value anchor depends on whether capital truly recognizes it in the future. Wait, is this another wave of "opportunity window" talk? The套路 feels a bit familiar.
