TrustFinance's latest analysis reveals seismic shifts coming to finance—from DeFi's institutional invasion to CBDCs going mainstream. The 2026 forecast reads like a blockchain investor's wishlist.
Key Takeaways:
- Digital asset adoption hits critical mass as legacy banks finally embrace tokenization
- Stablecoins eat another 18% of cross-border payment market share (SWIFT's funeral arrangements pending)
- AI-driven quant strategies now dominate 40% of crypto trading volumes
One hedge fund manager quipped: 'We used to chase alpha—now we're mining it with ASICs and praying to the APR gods.'
