Derived from BitcoinSistemi, VanEck CEO Jan van Eck stated on CNBC's Power Lunch that Bitcoin may face a downturn in 2026, following its historical post-halving cycle. He noted that the recent market sell-off reflects positioning for a bear trend and highlighted Zcash (ZEC) as an alternative for its privacy features. Van Eck emphasized that macro liquidity and on-chain data remain key to investment decisions and reiterated that VanEck still supports Bitcoin as a long-term asset, provided the fundamental argument holds.
