Bitcoin Emerges as Mainstream Core Asset, Binance Co-CEO He Yi Predicts a 2026 Market Shift and Redefined Crypto Dynamics

In a market briefing, COINOTAG News highlights Binance’s Co-CEO He Yi offering a personal take on the recent market pullback and the crypto industry’s 2026 trajectory. He emphasizes that the remarks are personal and not investment advice, framing the pullback as a normal consolidation within a broader macro backdrop and noting resilient demand across key segments.

He Yi argues that Bitcoin remains the most decentralized digital asset, suggesting that the drawdown could prove transitory as the market matures. He contends that Bitcoin’s transition from niche instrument to a mainstream core asset is underpinned by deeper liquidity and rising institutional participation, even amid volatility.

On asset flows, He Yi cited reports of a country selling seized assets but pointed to rising allocations from sovereign wealth funds and high-net-worth investors into Bitcoin and allied ecosystems. He added that market dynamics are shifting: cycle theory and volatility are being redefined as new players enter a larger pond, rendering legacy frameworks potentially less effective in this cycle.
