21Shares co-founder: BTC unlikely to repeat strong rally in early 2026

Bitcoin is unlikely to replicate its strong rally from earlier this year in the beginning of 2026, according to 21Shares co-founder Ophelia Snyder. In a statement reported by Cointelegraph, Snyder explained that the key factors currently driving market volatility are unlikely to be resolved in the short term. She noted that while January is typically a period of renewed inflows into spot ETFs as investors rebalance their portfolios, a similar rally would require a significant positive shift in overall investor sentiment. Given the current subdued market mood, Snyder finds it difficult to predict Bitcoin's trajectory for next January. However, she assessed that the current market correction stems from broader risk-off sentiment rather than any fundamental issues with cryptocurrency itself, viewing this as a positive sign for the long term.
