Davos 2026 did put crypto back in the global spotlight. It may not have dominated the WEF agenda but it was a part of enough speeches and conversations to move markets and set narratives for 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What was the big takeaway? Politics is still navigating through short-term price action. But traditional finance, Wall Street and more are increasingly treating crypto and tokenization as inevitable. <\/span><\/p>\n

In an exclusive chat with 99Bitcoins, Dea Markova, Policy Director for Fireblocks, weighed in. \u201cAs geopolitical tension and market growth concerns take a hold of 2026, I expect the politics and policy of digital assets to slip from the news spotlights to the product development roadmaps,\u201d said Markova. \u201cThis will be constructive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c2025 was about generating a new momentum in crypto policy,\u201d added Markova. \u201cWe concluded the year with most crypto hubs committed not only to clarity, but to competitiveness. In many capital that meant the beginning of a meaningful institutional digital assets projects and investments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf 2025 as a Momentum Year, then 2026 will be a Rollout Year.\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cLegislative reform gets sent to the level of rule-making. Infrastructure investments result in increase in new products and increased transaction volumes on, for example, stablecoin transfers. Questions like which ledger supports privacy or distribution at scale come to the fore,\u201d said the Policy Director of Fireblocks, the digital asset infrastructure company, known to provide secure custody and transfer infrastructure for financial institutions, exchanges, and other businesses to manage digital assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast to the geopolitical tensions, 2026 in digital assets also has to be a year of finding cross-border regulatory alignment on issues like access to global liquidity or recognition of compliant stablecoins. In some ways, this is the one contrarian trend which our industry contributes to, and requires from, global trade tensions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
