PANews, January 1st – According to Cointelegraph, David Duong, Head of Institutional Research at an exchange, stated that the momentum brought by crypto ETFs, stablecoins, tokenization, and clearer regulations will further strengthen in 2026, accelerating the adoption of cryptocurrencies. In his year-end summary, David Duong pointed out that spot ETFs in 2025 will create regulated channels for cryptocurrencies, digital asset treasuries will emerge as new corporate balance sheet tools, and tokenization and stablecoins will become more deeply integrated into core financial workflows. On the regulatory front, the United States is clarifying stablecoins and market structure through the GENIUS Act, while Europe is advancing the MiCA regulatory framework, providing clearer policy boundaries for institutional participation. Duong believes this marks an important stage in the transition of crypto from a niche market to a part of global financial infrastructure. Additionally, David Duong emphasized that demand for crypto is no longer driven by a single narrative, but is instead propelled by macroeconomics, technology, and geopolitics, with capital structures becoming more long-term and less speculative.
