Bitcoin (BTC) and the cryptocurrency market entered 2026 with a weak outlook due to the downward trend that began in October. While Bitcoin remains below the $90,000 level, Ethereum has also fallen below $3,000. Nevertheless, optimistic statements continue to emerge on the long-term outlook. One of these statements came from Rick Wurster, CEO of Charles Schwab, one of the world's largest financial institutions.
Rick Wurster: 2026 Macro Environment Could Be Favorable for Bitcoin Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster provided a positive outlook for Bitcoin in his assessment for 2026. In an interview with Schwab Network, Wurster stated that global macroeconomic conditions could be supportive of assets with limited supply like Bitcoin.
According to Wurster, especially the policies that central banks will follow will be decisive for crypto assets. The possibility of quantitative easing, the US Federal Reserve’s (FED) bond purchase programs, and weakening demand for US government bonds are among the main factors that could increase market liquidity.
