Strap in, cosmic cowboys, picture Mike Novogratz, Galaxy Digital’s fearless CEO, firing shots from his YouTube saloon in a wild 2026 forecast rant on Bitcoin, crypto, and AI.
Him and research chief Alex Thorn zero in on XRP and Cardano like interstellar bounty hunters, asking the million-dollar question.

Can rabid communities keep these beasts alive when real-world utility plays hide-and-seek amid endless alternatives?
Capital is selective
Novogratz lays it bare on YouTube, saying capital’s picky now, flowing to SpaceX rockets or whatever shines brightest.
XRP and Cardano boast die-hard fans, sure, but “Can Ripple hold it together? Can Cardano hold it together?” he growls, eyeing Charles Hoskinson’s Cardano circus, a blockchain army barely touch yet the crowd cheers like it’s Woodstock.
Capital’s gone selective, per experts’ charts too. Devs scramble for usage proof, revenue streams, token value hooks.
Novogratz smirks, takes a year, not three months, to brew real utility. Communities? Loyal, but options multiply like tribbles.
Utility and acquisitions
Enter the redemption arc. Cardano flexes with Midnight sidechain, a privacy fortress for confidential smart contracts and selective data drops, catnip for compliance-hungry enterprises dodging public chain pitfalls.
XRP? Ripple’s on a tear, pumping utility via Ripple USD stablecoin across Layer-2s.
They dropped $4 billion on 2025 acquisitions, and teamed with Doppler Finance for XRP Ledger yield infra and RWA tokenization, real-world assets tokenized like digital real estate flips.
Prove the goods or fade into crypto’s cosmic dust
Yet the market yawns through holiday thinness. Hoskinson’s preaching Bitcoin to $250K, altcoin decoupling. XRP Ledger resilience shines.
So yes, hype’s a sugar rush, and utility’s the rocket fuel. Strongest communities crumble without genuine use when capital hunts winners.
XRP and Cardano hustle, Midnight privacy, RLUSD sprawl, RWA tokenization, partnership sprees, but Galaxy’s wake-up call echoes.
Prove the goods or fade into crypto’s cosmic dust. Investors pick victors, loyalty alone won’t pay the bills.
