Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Digital assets to move from speculation to infrastructure in 2026, B. Riley says Original Link: Digital assets are set to cross a critical threshold in 2026, shifting from largely speculative instruments into practical financial infrastructure as regulation matures and traditional institutions deploy blockchain technology at scale, according to investment bank B. Riley.

“In 2026, we expect the digital asset market to transition from speculation to practical utility as regulatory frameworks are expected to mature, and blockchain integrates into global financial infrastructure,” analysts Fedor Shabalin and Nick Giles wrote.

The analysts argued that clearer rules around stablecoins, growing institutional tokenization of real-world assets, stronger governance frameworks and improving interoperability between bank ledgers and public blockchains are combining to change how digital assets are used, not just how they’re traded.
