Crypto is charging higher again: BTCUSD and the pack are ready

In December, our clients most actively traded cryptocurrencies such as BTCUSD, ETHUSD, BNBUSD, SOLUSD, and XRPUSD—and these instruments delivered the highest share of profitable trades. Today’s review focuses on the crypto market: demand from major investors, news from large corporations, and the ongoing development of leading blockchain platforms are setting the tone for early 2026.

Growth outlook for cryptocurrencies in Q1 2026:

• BTCUSD — strong interest from institutional investors and the expansion of exchange-traded crypto products support demand even during pullbacks.
  
• ETHUSD — increasing network usage and progress toward faster, cheaper transfers create room for strengthening in a calm external environment.
  
• SOLUSD — active project development and rising attention from major market participants point to further upside potential if news remains positive.
  
• BNBUSD — ecosystem service growth and infrastructure upgrades provide support, though price moves may be sharp.
  
• TONUSD — expansion of Telegram-related services and user tools may drive additional demand if adoption momentum continues.
  

FreshForex analysts believe that in the coming months the market will be shaped by three key factors: overall global market sentiment, inflows and outflows into public crypto instruments, and news around the development of major networks. Even under a positive scenario, prudent risk limits should be set in advance.
