During the holiday market lull, a price prediction for the Internet Computer project suddenly sparked widespread discussion. On December 23, the project's core research team expressed a bold view on social media — that the $ICP token could surge to $1,000 in Q1 2026. Once this number was announced, the entire crypto community exploded. To put it into perspective: mainstream analysts' annual high forecast for ICP at the same time was only $9.18, a difference of over 100 times.

Is this a bold prophecy from technical idealists, or a spark ignited in the winter? In fact, it points to a deeper change — the emerging financial infrastructure represented by decentralized stablecoins is reshaping market perceptions.

Let's look at how these innovative stablecoin solutions work: over-collateralization maintained between 120% and 150%, combined with mechanisms like smart allocators to ensure stability. This is not just a technical upgrade but a re-design of the entire digital asset financial environment. When asset price forecasts change, the underlying financial infrastructure also evolves quietly. The future value reconstruction may very well start here.

1. $1000? Wake up, brother, you're dreaming. 2. A 100x gap... Is this team serious or just riding the hype? 3. The mechanism of stablecoins sounds good, but the ICP number is a bit outrageous. 4. Another big hype, never a dull moment during the holiday. 5. Decentralized stablecoins are the right direction, but can we really trust such outrageous predictions? 6. $1000 in Q1? Haha, I’m waiting to be proven wrong. 7. 120%-150% collateralization rate sounds quite professional, but the price prediction is a bit nonsense. 8. A flicker in the cold winter... How long can this fire burn, everyone? 9. ICP is back again, is it going to cut another wave of leeks? 10. Rebuilding financial infrastructure is real, but these price predictions are truly magical.

$1000? Wake up, is this science fiction or is it really coming? I can't hold back anymore. You really dare to say that? Mainstream analysts estimate a 1000x increase, that's a huge gap. The logic of stablecoins with 120%-150% collateralization sounds like they're just making up stories for new investors. Wait, is this officially announced? If so, that's even more intense, setting the price directly at $1000. Dropping such a big bomb during the holiday, just ask who can handle it.

A 100x gap? How optimistic do you have to be to say that? I trust the technology, but this prediction span is way too outrageous.

$1000? Haha, I'm just waiting to be proven wrong. Anyway, it’s always like this each time. Is it true? A 100x difference. Have mainstream analysts fallen asleep? The stablecoin mechanism sounds impressive, but whether to believe it or not still depends on whether it can be implemented. No one talks about the risks of this kind of prediction, it's all just a dream. Can decentralized stablecoins really change the game? I have some doubts. With such aggressive predictions from the team, there must be something I don’t know behind it. Honestly, if ICP really takes off this round, how much humble pie those who previously doubted will have to eat. It’s another case of infrastructure reshaping. I’m tired of hearing this rhetoric; let’s see actual performance instead.

$1000? Wake up everyone, how is that possible? More than 100 times difference, the team must be trying to hype the crowd. Is ICP about to cut the leeks again? I don't believe you. No matter how fancy the stablecoin mechanism is, it can't withstand a bear market. It's another new financial infrastructure, I'm already tired of hearing about it. The team says 1000 is 1000? Why not say 10,000? With a collateralization ratio of 120%-150%, it's still a risky big player. Q1 2026 is still far away; let's survive this winter first.
