He highlighted the potential of the Clarity Act to attract institutional capital but warned that altcoins still carry significant risk, with Bitcoin and AI-driven mining opportunities being preferred.

Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, told CNBC that despite Bitcoin’s nearly 50% pullback from its 2025 high, he expects BTC to return to all-time highs within the next 12 months. Sigel believes current market sentiment remains cautious, more akin to short covering than extreme optimism, suggesting further upside potential. He also believes that if the Clarity Act passes, it will accelerate institutional capital inflows into the crypto market. However, he remains cautious on altcoins overall and sees greater potential in Bitcoin and mining companies powered by AI.
