According to CoinDesk, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao attributed crypto market's significant H1 2026 decline to three main factors: geopolitical tensions, investor capital rotation toward AI, and the typical four-year market cycle. Bitcoin fell approximately 50% from its October 2025 peak above $126,000 to around $60,000, having opened the year near $89,000 and briefly risen above $96,000. Zhao remains optimistic on the industry's long-term prospects, noting that financial technology demand will continue rising as transaction volumes increase.
