Amid uncertainty over how major cryptocurrencies will survive in 2026, a survey reveals what financial advisors are expecting from their investment portfolios. The study was conducted by companies Bitwise Asset Management and VettaFi, and the results were released on January 13th.
65% of advisors consulted believe that Bitcoin (BTC) prices will be higher one year from the time the survey was conducted. At the time, it was trading for around $110,000 (US dollars), “demonstrating confidence in Bitcoin’s growing role as a global store of value.”
The study was conducted in the United States from October 31, 2025 to December 8, 2025. The survey focused on a wide range of advisors, including independent registered investment advisors, broker-dealer representatives, financial planners, brokerage firm representatives, and institutional investors. We received 299 eligible responses.
Majority of respondents (58%) Bitcoin is expected to trade between $110,000 and $199,000 This means a new historic high price. As reported by CriptoNoticias, the current record was $126,000 in October 2025.
However, 29% of advisors consulted noted that the price of BTC will be as low as between $50,000 and $110,000 by then, as shown in the image below.
ETH and SOL do not work like BTC
Regarding Ether (ETH), the Ethereum cryptocurrency, the majority of respondents (44%) claim: Worth $3,900 to $5,000 This means it could reach near the all-time high of $4,900, set in August.
Such forecasts “suggest optimistic expectations for the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi), stablecoins, tokenization, and other use cases for Ethereum,” Bitwise and Vettafi said.
When it comes to solar power (SOL), a majority (57%) believe that: It will go from $181 to $249 by the end of 2026.. According to the companies, this demonstrates Solana’s favorable competitive position in the L1 space. However, this does not imply an increase compared to the historic high of $291 a year ago.
The study further showed that 99% of advisors who allocate cryptocurrencies to their clients’ portfolios plan to increase or maintain their exposure. This was despite the market’s bearish concerns.
