# Scaramucci and Novogratz Predict Dollar Weakening and Cryptocurrency Growth in 2026

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci and Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz forecast the start of a strong rally in the crypto market in 2026 amid easing Federal Reserve policies and a global weakening of the US dollar.

According to experts, the current negative sentiment around cryptocurrencies and declining interest from retail investors are a “contrarian indicator”

"Search queries for Bitcoin are near historic lows*… And that makes me optimistic,"* — noted Scaramucci

They believe that market dynamics will largely depend on the macroeconomic situation, which will turn favorable for digital assets next year.

Scaramucci expects inflation in the United States to continue decreasing, opening the possibility for aggressive easing of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy.

According to Novogratz, the new Fed chair appointed at the beginning of the year will most likely be “dovish” and will meet the demands of US President Donald Trump to cut the key interest rate. This will lead to a weakening of the dollar and create a “convenient” environment for cryptocurrencies.

Another bullish factor for the digital asset market is the correction in the precious metals sector, which will follow the recent rally in gold and silver. In his opinion, the industry is currently “seriously undervalued”

“The dynamics essentially repeat the history of gold, but with a key difference: Bitcoin has not been able to play its role as digital gold in this cycle. This failure creates noticeable fear in the community,” he stated

If the market “breaks free from a deadlock,” the movement could be sharp and rapid. Novogratz emphasized that all the ingredients for a powerful rally are already in place — only the impulse is missing.

“That’s why I am closely watching the situation. Being pessimistic at current levels is irrational. I need to see real momentum and a confident break above $100 000 — that will be a signal for me to act and a reason for confidence. Overall, I believe 2026 could be a very successful year for the crypto market,” — he added

Let’s recall that companies Bitwise and Grayscale also hold a positive outlook for cryptocurrencies in 2026.

According to analysts, over the next 12 months, Bitcoin will set another price record thanks to the reduction of the Fed’s key rate, increased global demand for alternative stores of value, and the diminishing relevance of cycle theories.
