Share a few life-saving strategies suitable for 2026. The reason why many institutions collapsed on the eve of a bull market in the previous cycle was that their ammunition was depleted during a long period of oscillation and decline, rather than not looking in the right direction. 1. The bottom position must be a profit oriented asset rather than a potential asset. The reality of a bear market is that survival comes before speculation, and long-term stable assets come before potential assets. In addition to core assets (BTC/ETH), larger positions are placed in compliant path yield assets (RWA)/stablecoin returns to counter time (one of the consensus in 2022 is that the strongest opponent for retail investors in bear markets is time). On the other hand, some institutions believe that after regulatory clarity in 2026, yield oriented cryptocurrency assets will be prioritized for appreciation and capital allocation. 2. Only eat at both ends and not in the middle. Similar to the end of 2026 and 2022, due to the lack of incremental funds, prices will fluctuate repeatedly within a certain range. In such a market situation, the most unprofitable behavior is to trade along with the trend, chasing long when breaking through the pressure level, and chasing short when falling below the support level. Basically, there will be repeated losses. In 2026, there will not be a unilateral upward trend. If the market rises, immediately reduce positions and short sell. If it falls, immediately test buying. If you don't hit both ends, immediately stop trading or stop losses in a timely manner. 3. Abandon the native narrative of encryption and shift towards distribution channels and compliance entrances. A significant shift will occur in 2026, where the only survival rule for a bear market is that a project or narrative can be tied to traditional financial and payment systems. All projects that cannot generate real external income and cannot connect to the real balance sheet will gradually be consumed in a bear market. Stable coin infrastructure, RWA channels, compliant custody, on chain and off chain settlement protocols, and so on, are definitely the best cryptocurrency projects to survive in a bear market. Visa、PayPal、 Projects with large banks or top asset management companies as partners need to be given special attention as they have access to compliant entry points for fiat currency deposits and institutional assets. 4. Give up unlocking diluted VC coins. Because unlocking tokens has already dropped by over 90%, they will continue to drop by 90% in the future due to unlocking. At the same time, these projects, which have already fallen by more than 90%, also face risks such as RUG, delisting from exchanges, and hacking attacks (self theft) in the future. 5. Restart the airdrop. It is difficult for asset prices to rise in a bear market, but the project team is still willing to distribute tokens for the sake of good data. For individual investors, this is an excellent source of cash flow that is independent of market fluctuations. At the same time, due to the low coin price and yield, many studios have already died in the early stages of the bear market, and there will be fewer scientists and scripts competing with you. It should be noted that upon receiving the airdrop reward, the principal and all investment costs should be withdrawn first, and then invested in the next airdrop project.
