The year 2025 was challenging for most cryptocurrencies; however, BTC and ETH still attained their all-time high (ATH) levels despite prevalent negative sentiment. If there is no significant downturn heading into 2026, the four-year cycle collapse narrative in crypto might lose traction, leading to a potentially improved market landscape. What then are the predictions for Mantle (MNT)?
Mantle (MNT)
Ranked among the top 25 cryptocurrencies by market cap, Mantle stands as a robust endeavor bridging the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) through Web3 innovations. Post-launch, Mantle performed well compared to the broader market, peaking above its previous ATH this year. Its current value is approximately 55% below ATH, offering a more promising outlook than many cryptocurrencies, which witness losses where figures drastically change post-decimal.
Before the October 10 downturn, Mantle reached its ATH and hours later hit a lower wick at $1.22, a promising event for the currency. Beyond just price gains, Mantle embarked on significant projects during the year’s second half.
- Bybit’s top executives joined the Mantle advisory board.
- Numerous integrations in the Real World Asset (RWA) space with Anchorage, Aave, and Backed Finance were announced.
- This month’s Limb update reduced transaction fees by 30% and brought transactions to millisecond certainty, a boon for RWA and DeFi alike.
- The “Succinct Prover” integration in August 2025 marked the commencement of transitioning to Zero-Knowledge (ZK) technology, anticipated to grow more popular, demonstrating proactive advancements.
- October saw a record in Total Value Locked (TVL), with developments like Almanac AI partnerships underpinning the month’s performance.
Mantle (MNT) 2026 Predictions
Mantle’s future appears bright as it stands as one of the few altcoins surviving and excelling this year. The network’s TVL has rebounded, with the stablecoin base expanding. TVL stands at $354 million, half of the supply circulates, and the network exhibits strong foundational technical capabilities. Managed by fewer than 20 protocols, there is significant room for growth.
Many analysts express optimism for MNT in the coming year. Cilinix shared a bullish graph indicating a reversal from the low, hinting at a journey toward $2.
Altcoin Sherpa expressed confidence in the crypto, citing its 70% loss from peak levels yet being Bybit’s crypto, reinforcing his intent to purchase amid dips.
Interestingly, after its launch, prices formed larger peaks, unlike most altcoins.
Examining the weekly chart further reveals a key resistance point at $1.4, tested several times and breached once, laying a foundation for peaks approaching $3. Despite ongoing negative sentiment in the cryptocurrency realm, recent price closures suggest that gaining support at $1.54 could enable a recovery to $3 as 2026 approaches.
