The International Monetary Fund just bumped up its 2026 global GDP growth forecast to 3.3%, up from the 3.1% projection released last October. What's driving the upgrade? Surging AI investment is more than compensating for mounting headwinds from trade disruptions and geopolitical tensions.
For crypto markets, this matters. A stronger global growth trajectory typically fuels risk appetite and capital flows into emerging assets. The AI boom alone is reshaping capital allocation patterns, while trade uncertainties keep central banks cautious. The real question: will this growth stick, or are we just seeing temporary optimism before the next shock hits?

Can AI last until 2026? Anyway, I don't believe it.

AI is definitely making gains this time, but the trade war could strike at any moment.

The AI boom saving the market, is it real or fake? When it drops again, don't say I didn't warn you.

Growth driven by AI support, to put it plainly, is just a bubble... Let's see what happens when the bubble bursts someday.
