Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Bitcoin to $180,000, stablecoins to soar in 2026, investor Dan Tapiero predicts Original Link: https://cryptonews.net/news/finance/32295672/ If you’ve got $10,000 and want to put it into crypto in 2026, veteran crypto investor Dan Tapiero doesn’t hesitate: “I think you just split it between bitcoin, ether and solana, and decide how you like to split it.”

But zooming out from retail portfolios, Tapiero says some of the biggest opportunities lie in the crypto ecosystem, specifically the infrastructure that’s finally breaking into the mainstream.

Stablecoins, for example, are now powering global payments, with transaction volumes reaching $33 trillion in 2025, up from $19.7 trillion in 2024.

“There is an entire world … growing up around traditional players trying to figure out how to incorporate the stablecoin rails into whatever they’re doing,” Tapiero, who runs leading growth equity firm 50T Funds, said.
