It has been hard to feel good about investing in this sector lately.
Is There Any Reason Left to Buy Cryptocurrency in 2026?
Overview
The S&P 500 is up about 24% during the past 12 months. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is down 40% in the same period. Meanwhile, the rest of the crypto sector has been a graveyard for capital. Investors who bought a plain index fund in June 2025 made money; holders of "digital gold" did not, and holders of altcoins were quite likely to have lost almost everything.
In the longer view, some original investment theses for buying crypto still hold, while many (most?) others have been bludgeoned into irrelevance by hard evidence, courtesy of the market. So, is there any reason left to buy cryptocurrency in 2026, or is this show over for good?
