Stablecoins are becoming mainstream, acting as a bridge between traditional finance (TradFi) and digital liquidity, sometimes displacing local currencies in certain countries. At the same time, banks face increasing pressure as crypto products draw deposits and returns away from classical financial institutions. The report also underlines artificial intelligence as a key driver impacting the economy, energy sector, and capital redistribution, and notes that diversification across traditional assets is often illusory due to shared risk factors.
These trends are expected to trigger structural market shifts and change conventional concepts of capital, further boosting institutional recognition of cryptocurrencies through products like crypto ETFs. This points to deeper integration of digital assets into the global economy.
