There Are Three Major Tailwinds for Crypto’s Next Rally, Says Galaxy Digital’s Alex Thorn
First is AI capital spending. He frames the current wave as a real-economy capex cycle led by cash-rich incumbents — hyperscalers, chipmakers and data-center operators — reinforced by significant U.S. policy support, rather than a rerun of a purely speculative dot-com bubble. Corporate budgets and government posture, he argues, point to a long runway.
Second are stablecoins. Thorn points out that dollar-linked tokens continue to gain traction as payment rails, broadening participation, deepening liquidity and anchoring more activity on public chains. He believes those plumbing effects can support the ecosystem even when price action chops.
Third is tokenization. According to Thorn, moving real-world assets and pieces of traditional market infrastructure on-chain is shifting from pilots to implementation, creating fresh demand for block space and for core assets that secure, route and settle that activity. Thorn says that transition benefits platforms tied to that flow.
