According to a new forecast from digital asset investment firm Pantera Capital, the corporate digital asset treasury (DAT) sector is heading for a significant consolidation in 2026. The firm warns of a "brutal pruning" where only the largest, best-capitalized players will survive, while smaller entities struggle to keep pace. Pantera notes this macro shift toward quality and sustainability is already visible, with well-funded operators leading accumulation in Bitcoin and Ether treasuries.
This consolidation narrative is influencing the outlook for emerging projects. While the analysis includes a price prediction for Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), a Bitcoin Layer-2 project, the news heavily promotes DeepSnitch AI (DSNT) as a superior investment. The DSNT presale has raised over $1.3 million, positioning its AI-driven security auditing and market intelligence tools as a "recession-proof" hedge applicable in both bull and bear markets. The project is offering VIP bonus codes, including DSNTVIP300 for a 300% bonus on purchases of $30,000 or more.
The article provides specific predictions for Bitcoin Hyper, suggesting it could reach $0.1557 in 2026 if it successfully captures market share from established L2s like Stacks, with a long-term target of $0.7785 by 2030. It also briefly mentions Pepe Dollar (PEPD), an Ethereum L2 payment rail for meme coins, and Maxi Doge (MAXI), a utility-focused meme coin. However, the core argument positions DeepSnitch AI's immediate utility and presale bonuses as a safer and smarter capital allocation compared to the long-term speculation on HYPER's price.
