Cantor Fitzgerald warns of 2026 crypto winter as Bitcoin faces $75,000 risk and tokenized assets hit $18.5 billion

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Brett Knoblauch said in a recent year-end review that Bitcoin, trading around $87,660.94, is likely entering a "crypto winter" and could fall toward $75,000 in 2026. He argued that large institutions now dominate the market, supporting growth in areas such as tokenized real-world assets, which have reached $18.5 billion and may rise further. The firm also highlighted regulatory changes and the surge of decentralized exchanges and sports prediction markets as key shifts in the digital asset landscape.
