The post Analyst Ran Neuner Picks PENGU Over XRP as His ‘Better’ Altcoin Bet for 2026 appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Crypto analyst Ran Neuner said he would choose PENGU over XRP as a better altcoin investment for 2026, speaking during a recent appearance on Paul Barron Network.

Neuner made the comment during a quick question segment, where he was asked to pick between the two tokens. However,  he did not go into detail at that moment.

Neuner also shared his outlook on Bitcoin, pointing to patterns seen in past bull markets. He said that in both 2016 and 2020, Bitcoin’s major rally began after gold and silver peaked, followed by gains in copper.

According to Neuner, current market conditions show similar signs. Gold has been rising, silver has shown signs of topping, and copper has recently started moving higher. If this pattern repeats, he believes Bitcoin could see renewed strength.

Smaller Gains, But Still Significant

Neuner said the era of extremely large Bitcoin returns may be over. However, he believes Bitcoin could still deliver strong gains, possibly doubling or tripling over time, which would place prices well above current levels.

He added that such returns remain meaningful for a large, widely held asset like Bitcoin.

Rethinking Crypto Cycles

Neuner also questioned the idea that crypto strictly follows a four-year cycle tied to Bitcoin halvings. He argued that liquidity cycles have played a bigger role and that past alignment with halvings may have been coincidental.

While he said there is still a chance the traditional cycle applies, Neuner believes rising global liquidity across stocks and commodities supports a more positive outlook for crypto overall.

Looking Toward 2026

Despite a sharp correction in late 2025, Neuner said that Bitcoin still delivered strong year-on-year gains when viewed over a longer time frame.

He said his base case is that 2026 could be a stronger year for crypto markets, led by Bitcoin, with selected altcoins potentially outperforming.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
