RBC Crypto Team Congratulates Readers on the New Year 2026
The "RBC-Crypto" team reflects on 2025 and shares expectations for 2026. Nikolay Zagvozdkin, head of the project, recalls the year as one of personal investment losses due to risky memecoins, despite Bitcoin's record highs and significant regulatory developments, including a key announcement from the Russian Central Bank in December. For 2026, he aims to recover his portfolio, monitor Russia's crypto regulation, explore new trends like RWA, and grow their audience.
Andrey Luzgin, the editor, hopes to leave behind scams and losses, entering 2026 with market strength and confidence. He wishes profits for investors, volatility for traders, and success for various crypto professionals.
Anastasia Kuzmicheva, a writer, notes Bitcoin's underperformance against predictions but highlights growing crypto recognition in Russia, including the Central Bank's move to open the market. She expects more stories and unexpected turns in 2026.
Oleg Gordyshev, another writer, views 2025 as a milestone where crypto became part of the global financial system, though he sees Bitcoin's progress as a payment tool as incomplete. For 2026, he hopes crypto evolves as an independent asset class, decoupled from global events, while preserving the industry's unique energy.
