DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its 2026 Crypto Outlook, a research report that analyzes the forces expected to shape digital asset markets throughout 2026.

The annual report focuses primarily on bitcoin and the broader crypto market, examining key macro drivers and risks. It is further informed by derivatives market data, options-implied probabilities, volatility dynamics, cross-asset correlations, and global macroeconomic conditions. It also assesses regulatory and structural developments, including institutional adoption trends and emerging technological considerations, to evaluate how crypto markets may behave in the year ahead.

A central question explored in the report is whether the four-year crypto market cycle, historically associated with bitcoin halving events and post-cycle drawdowns, remains the dominant framework for understanding price behavior in 2026. The analysis suggests that while historical cycles remain relevant, their influence may be diminishing as macroeconomic policy, institutional participation, and market structure play a growing role in price formation.

Key findings:

Macro environment and cross-asset dynamics.
The outlook notes that markets are pricing in further monetary easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve, a backdrop that could support risk assets more broadly. Bitcoin has recently lagged U.S. equities, and the report highlights the potential for a renewed positive correlation between bitcoin and major equity indices should macro conditions remain accommodative.

Derivatives market signals.
Based on options market data analyzed in the report, there is currently a 10.3% implied probability of bitcoin trading at $150,000 by the end of 2026. The report emphasizes that this figure reflects market pricing rather than a forecast, and suggests that current options markets may be conservatively positioned relative to the broader macro and regulatory environment.

Policy and event-driven risks.
While the overall backdrop is described as constructive, the report underscores the importance of monitoring key policy and event risks. These include a looming decision regarding Strategy’s potential exclusion from major stock indexes, which could affect market sentiment, as well as the possibility of policy tightening by the Bank of Japan later in 2026, a development that could introduce volatility across asset classes.

Structural developments influencing long-term trends.
The report identifies real-world asset tokenization as a key structural theme for 2026, building on the expansion of stablecoin adoption by regulated institutions in 2025. It also highlights increased attention to strengthening crypto market infrastructure, including efforts to address emerging technological risks such as those associated with advances in quantum computing.

Outlook

The 2026 Crypto Outlook concludes that although market cycles, sentiment, and volatility remain defining features of crypto markets, the interaction between these forces is evolving. Increased institutional participation, regulatory engagement, and macroeconomic support may allow digital assets to diverge from historical patterns, even as uncertainty and episodic volatility persist.

The full Bybit x Block Scholes – 2026 Crypto Outlook provides detailed analysis, data, and methodology supporting these conclusions and is available for download.

New research reveals how PR teams are adapting to resource pressures, media fragmentation, and the accelerating shift toward AI and measurable impact.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cision, a global leader in consumer and media intelligence, today released Inside PR 2026: Trends, Challenges, and What’s Next, a landmark study examining how PR teams are responding to one of the most transformative periods the industry has seen in decades. Drawing on insights from nearly 600 PR professionals across the U.S. and UK, the report highlights a profession balancing tradition and transformation: Creativity and storytelling remain foundational, even as agility, AI fluency, and clear business impact increasingly define success.

Cision Unveils “Inside PR 2026”: The Definitive Report on PR Trends, AI Adoption, and the Future of Communications

An Industry in Transition — and an Agility Gap Slowing Progress

The report reveals a profession operating under sustained pressure. Sixty percent of PR teams cite the rapidly shifting media landscape as their biggest challenge, and 58% point to resource pressure. Agency teams feel this pressure more acutely than their counterparts on in-house teams, with 71% reporting media fragmentation as a major hurdle, underscoring how journalist behavior and formats continue to evolve.

These pressures directly shape how agile teams feel they can be. While one in three executives describes their organization as “extremely agile,” only 14% of employees agree. Structural barriers such as team size and organizational design (63%), along with slow approvals (53%), are the biggest factors holding teams back.

Taken together, the findings point to a profession not short on ambition, but constrained by infrastructure. The opportunity for 2026 is clear: Agility requires investment, process simplification, and better access to real-time insights, not just intent.

What Matters Most in 2026: Awareness, ROI, and Revenue

Brand awareness remains PR’s guiding priority, cited by 36% of respondents. But the data shows a clear shift toward measurable commercial outcomes at the senior level. Executives (32%) and agencies (33%) are far more focused on revenue and ROI, while in-house teams and non-executives still lean heavily toward brand awareness, with around 40% naming it as their top priority.

Taken together, the findings point to a widening alignment gap, with senior leaders pushing for measurable results and frontline teams remaining anchored in brand-building.

AI Moves to the Center of PR Workflows

One of the strongest trends highlighted in Inside PR 2026 is the rapid integration of AI across PR activities. Ninety-one percent of professionals report using generative AI as part of their workflow, with 73% applying it to idea generation and 68% using it for writing and content refinement. AI is also reshaping data gathering and analysis, with 40% using AI-driven media monitoring and nearly a third relying on AI-powered reporting tools.

Yet the data makes one thing clear: Despite AI’s growing presence in PR, the human elements remain at the core of the profession. Storytelling was cited as the most in-demand skill for 2026 (59%), followed by media relations, strategic planning, and the ability to interpret data to guide decision-making – skills that ultimately rely on human interpretation, context, and strategic discretion.

The New PR Playbook: Creativity, Intelligence, and Technology Working Together

The evolution of PR is increasingly defined by the blend of craft and capability. Media monitoring remains the most relied-on tool for teams, supporting a more analytical approach to narrative management. Meanwhile, the skill sets PR teams value are becoming more multidisciplinary — combining creative storytelling with data literacy, strategic agility, and cross-functional collaboration.

Taken together, these changes point toward a more adaptive, insight-led, and AI-enabled model of communications.

“Inside PR 2026 shows a profession undergoing a profound evolution,” said Guy Abramo, CEO of Cision. “PR teams are being challenged to move faster, prove impact, and integrate AI responsibly — while continuing to deliver the creativity and narrative craftsmanship that make communications meaningful. The teams that can blend human insight with intelligent automation will be the ones who define the next era of PR.”

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MICROIP Inc., a Taiwan-based provider of ASIC design services and AI software solutions, today showcased its AIVO (AI Vision Operation) Edge AI platform at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. Exhibiting at the AI Applications Pavilion, the company presented its CAPS (Cross-Platform AI Powered Solutions) architecture, demonstrating how software-defined design enables scalable, production-ready Edge AI deployment across real-world environments.

AIVO is MICROIP’s flagship platform under the CAPS framework and has already entered commercial deployment. Rather than focusing on model benchmarks or raw hardware performance alone, AIVO is designed to address practical constraints in large-scale Edge AI systems, including heterogeneous network conditions, limited edge compute resources, and long-term operational costs.

“CES is where AI must prove its real-world value,” said Dr. James Yang, Chairman of MICROIP. “AIVO was designed to operate reliably under real deployment constraints in transportation security, smart agriculture, and autonomous systems, enabling AI to move beyond proof-of-concept into daily operations.”

At the system level, AIVO adopts a distributed master–client architecture, executing real-time inference locally on edge devices while centralizing system management and decision logic. By transmitting structured inference results and metadata instead of raw video streams, the platform significantly reduces bandwidth requirements and maintains real-time responsiveness even in unstable network environments. AIVO also supports real-time heterogeneous multi-tasking, allowing multiple AI models to run concurrently on a single hardware platform with dynamic resource prioritization.

At CES 2026, MICROIP highlighted AIVO’s deployment across three high-reliability application domains. In transportation security, AIVO supports real-time monitoring across metro systems, railways, airports, and aviation environments, with alerts integrated into control centers or government security systems—enhancing response capability without increasing manpower requirements.

In smart agriculture, AIVO addresses labor shortages and aging workforces by enabling vision-based monitoring of livestock health and environmental conditions. Optimized for low-power operation and limited connectivity, the platform supports stable, long-term deployment in farm environments while translating expert agricultural knowledge into deployable AI models.

In autonomous systems, including AI drones and robotics, AIVO strengthens on-device autonomy for infrastructure inspection and disaster response. Even in GPS-denied or communication-limited environments, the platform enables real-time object tracking and dynamic obstacle avoidance, expanding the operational scope of autonomous systems in high-risk scenarios.

CAPS represents MICROIP’s broader software-driven hardware strategy, integrating AIVO, XEdgAI, and CATS (Custom ASIC Technology & Solutions) to enable software-defined hardware optimization validated by real-world workloads.
