Bitcoin is poised for another year of extreme volatility and potentially record-breaking price moves.

According to the survey of industry analysts and executives conducted by CNBC, the predictions for the cryptocurrency’s 2026 price range from a low of $75,000 to a staggering high of $225,000.

Behind this wide divergence lies a complex backdrop of shifting monetary policy, regulatory uncertainty, and questions about institutional demand.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $91,000, roughly 30% below its all-time high of over $126,000 set in October 2025.

Among the boldest calls, Bit Mining’s chief economist, Youwei Yang, predicts a trading range of $75,000 to $225,000, citing potential interest rate cuts and a “more accommodating regulatory stance” alongside macroeconomic risk.

Other notable predictions include:

• Standard Chartered: $150,000, revised down from $300,000, with gains now expected to be driven mainly by ETF buying instead of corporate treasuries. 
• Maple Finance: $175,000 buoyed by rate cuts and the growth of bitcoin-backed lending.
• Standard Chartered: $150,000, revised down from $300,000, with gains now expected to be driven mainly by ETF buying rather than corporate treasuries.
• CoinShares: $120,000 to $170,000, with action weighted toward the year’s second half pending regulatory and Federal Reserve clarity.

On the whole, analysts agree that major drivers will include U.S. Federal Reserve Policy, the potential passage of crypto regulatory legislation, and the sustained flow of funds into spot Bitcoin ETFs, which may now be the most significant price catalyst

Chris Stapleton is set to bring his All-American Roadshow back to Detroit this summer, with a major country co-sign in tow.

The singer-songwriter will headline Ford Field on August 8, joined by fellow country superstar Lainey Wilson for a one-night stadium show that blends two of the genre’s biggest hitmakers. The announcement marks Ford Field’s second major concert reveal of the day, following news that Bruno Mars will perform at the venue in May.

The Detroit stop is part of Stapleton’s expansive 24-city All-American Roadshow, which includes nine stadium dates across the country. In addition to Detroit, the tour will hit major markets such as Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Tampa and Boston. Singer Allen Stone is also slated to perform at the Ford Field show.

Other special guests for the tour include Ashley McBryde, Carter Faith, Grace Potter, Maggie Rose, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, Molly Tuttle, Nikki Lane, The Teskey brothers, and Zach Top.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. on Jan. 16 through Ticketmaster.

Both Stapleton and Wilson are familiar faces at Ford Field. Stapleton last played the venue in July 2024, when he shared the bill with George Strait, while Wilson took the stage there in April 2023 as an opening act for Luke Combs. Stapleton has also previously headlined Comerica Park, making him one of the few artists to perform at both of Detroit’s major sports stadiums.

The August concert adds to a packed 2026 schedule for Ford Field, which is also set to host Foo Fighters on August 6 and Ed Sheeran later in the month.

King Charles is making the most of life beyond the bustle of London, but his winter retreat at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk isn’t just about quiet walks and snow‑covered lawns but it also shows his passion for long‑term vision for the property. 

On 7 January, the official Sandringham Instagram account delighted followers with stunning images of the estate’s gardens blanketed in snow that gives a fresh face to the 60‑acre landscape the King has been meticulously reviving. 

The snowy scenes highlight the estate’s Topiary Garden, the newest addition unveiled in 2023 as a place of reflection and biodiversity, designed to withstand evolving weather patterns and offer peace to visitors once the gardens reopen to the public each spring.

Since taking on management of the Sandringham estate in 2017, Charles has led a remarkable restoration of both its gardens and wider parkland, bringing back to life landscapes that had been neglected for decades. 

In doing so, he’s blended tradition with sustainable design, adding features like the Topiary Garden, Lower Maze Garden, and Sundial Garden that reflect his lifelong enthusiasm for plants, symmetry and environmental stewardship. 

The inspiration runs deep, many aspects of Sandringham’s ornamental layout stem from Charles’s own childhood memories, including yew topiary reminiscent of those planted by Queen Alexandra in the early 20th century. 

Historically, the estate’s gardens have roots stretching back to the 1860s and earlier, evolving through generations of monarchs and designers. 

But it’s Charles’s recent stewardship that has brought a renewed sense of purpose and symbolic design to the space.

From March through October, the doors and paths will open again, inviting the public to explore an estate that reflects not just royal heritage but one monarch’s enduring love of the natural world.
