Overview
A late-2025 market pullback is reviving “crypto winter” talk, but Cantor Fitzgerald’s outlook frames any 2026 downturn as potentially more orderly than prior cycles—shaped by deeper institutional participation and a market structure increasingly influenced by on-chain activity. Across coverage, the same themes recur: regulatory clarity as a risk-reducer, tokenization as a continuing trend, and trading activity shifting toward decentralized venues.
