BlockBeats news, December 28, according to Cointelegraph, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that Bitcoin may deliver relatively robust returns over the next decade, but it is unlikely to see exceptionally high gains.Hougan said on CNBC: "I believe we are in a 10-year phase of steady upward movement, with strong returns, but not the kind of extremely high returns, rather stronger, lower-volatility returns, with ups and downs in between."He also maintained his previous judgment that 2026 will be an upward year for Bitcoin. This prediction was first made by him in July of this year, when Bitcoin reached a historical high of $125,100 in October. Hougan stated that the "fast-moving retail group" is one of the reasons for Bitcoin's decline at the end of the year, with some retail investors choosing to rotate early and take profits to exit based on "expectations of the four-year cycle."

BlockBeats news, December 28, according to Cointelegraph, analysts say Bitcoin does not need to wait for gold and silver to pull back to continue its upward trend. Glassnode chief analyst James Check stated this is an "unexpectedly unpopular view," adding that those who think Bitcoin must wait for precious metals to correct "do not truly understand these assets."Macro-economist Lyn Alden expressed a similar view. She said, although "many people describe it as a competitive relationship," she "does not agree with this perspective." Alden noted that the reason Bitcoin's ratio relative to gold has performed so strongly recently is because Bitcoin has been in a "stagnation phase" over the past year, while gold has experienced "an exceptionally outstanding year. Both assets have their own long-term structural logic supporting them."Multiple Bitcoin industry executives expect the current downtrend to potentially reverse in 2026. Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan said, "Bitcoin will rise next year." Jan3 founder Samson Mow stated that Bitcoin may be about to start a "decade-long bull market."

PANews reported on December 28th that Lighter founder and CEO Vladimir Novakovski responded to the Sybil screening issue in a Twitter Space interview, stating: "We have an appeal mechanism for Sybil screening, but so far, the number of appeals is less than we expected. If users feel the algorithm is unfair to them, they are welcome to fill out the appeal form on Discord. We will not disclose the specific details of the algorithm because we do not want it to be targeted for optimization. Our position is very clear: the value will ultimately be deposited in the token, and all investors participate under this premise. We adhere to one principle: the token will be the core alignment mechanism for all stakeholders—early users, the team, and investors are all in the same boat. There will be no dual-track structure where the token has one set of value logic and equity has another; everything will revolve around the token."
