As we head into 2026, three major milestones are shaping up as potential game-changers. Will Bitcoin breach the $150K ceiling first, or does Ethereum have the momentum to hit $5K before that? Meanwhile, Solana's path to $300 adds another layer to this race. Which target do you think will be crossed first—and what's driving your thesis? The market's narrative is shifting daily, so the order of these breakthroughs could tell us plenty about which ecosystem is capturing momentum heading into next year.

I am an on-chain soy sauce master, have been in the crypto world for years, and have seen too many so-called prophets crash and burn... To be honest, these ranking questions are all nonsense in the end. It's better to see who can survive longer.

Stop beating around the bush; doubling ETH is much easier than BTC breaking 150,000.

Bitcoin will still be the first to hit the jackpot, but honestly, if ETH can break 5K this time, it would be outrageous.

I bet ETH will break 5K first. To be honest, Bitcoin is already too competitive, and institutions are accumulating, but the ETH ecosystem story is just beginning to unfold.

ETH first breaks 5k, BTC is still hesitating there.

I bet 150K to break through first. BTC's momentum is too strong this time. Ethereum is still debating the upgrade. SOL is fast but still lacks some foundation. Truly

Bitcoin will definitely break 150k first, while Ethereum's momentum has not been very strong honestly.

Honestly, BTC 150K is stable, but ETH 5K doesn't seem to have much heat, while Solana is instead bleeding out.

Solana takes off directly, while others are just running alongside.
