Bankless Nation is the night before Christmas instead of doing our weekly roll-up.

It is, right?

Yeah, it's Christmas Eve.

We are recording this, the Christmas Eve, Eve, and it will be distributed to your podcast player, Christmas Eve.

Happy Christmas Eve.

Thank you guys for spending it with us.

Yeah, that's right.

I guess you think, are you picturing families all around the world just gathering around and listening to the bankless podcast and Christmas Eve instead of like a fireplace. There's stockings. People are opening their stocking presents. And then there's Ryan and David talking about the 2026 predictions for crypto. All right. So here's what we're doing.

There you go. So with that done, we thought we would zoom out and focus on 2026.

In fact, David, you brought us some juicy content to this episode.

You did a meta-analysis of all of the different predictions.

So rather than give you just our predictions, what we thought we would do is we would look at all of the predictions that people have made for crypto in 2026 and draw some analysis

from them?

Yeah.

Kind of, yeah.

Seeing where they overlap, seeing where they diverge and any interesting tidbits that I can find.

And so let's see, how many did I do?

Bitwise, Coinbase Institutional, Galaxy, grayscale, coin shares, fidelity,

the A16 newsletter,
