#Bitcoin #Crypto #Finance
2025 may not have been a failure for Bitcoin but a crucial setup for a massive liquidity-driven surge in 2026, requiring $8 trillion to support debt interest payments. Raoul Pal explains how liquidity—not narratives—dominates price action, the Fed’s diminished role due to fiscal dominance, and how AI, tokenization, and smart contracts will transform crypto and global markets. Despite setbacks like government shutdowns and market overhangs, institutional adoption and technological integration position 2026 as a pivotal year for a potential crypto bull run and economic shift.
