Esteemed Investor Dan Tapiero: Bitcoin Will Rise to $180,000 This Cycle

BlockBeats News, January 18th, according to CoinDesk, veteran crypto investor Dan Tapiero stated, "If you were to invest $10,000 in crypto assets in 2026, I think you could allocate the funds directly to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, as for the specific allocation, it depends on your preference." Dan Tapiero believes that the biggest opportunity in the cryptocurrency space in 2026 lies in the widespread adoption of infrastructure and stablecoins.

Tapiero said he expects Bitcoin to rise to $180,000 in this cycle, driven by a combination of demand growth and a shift in global monetary policy. Falling interest rates and government's massive investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure will bring strong bullish factors. This global drive is causing all fiat currencies, including the US dollar, to depreciate. This is very favorable for Bitcoin.

Tapiero believes that tokenization, the integration of blockchain and AI, and on-chain prediction markets all have good growth prospects, but he is cautious about cryptocurrency treasury companies, believing that they have not brought much real innovation.
