Investment bank B. Riley forecasts that digital assets will transition from speculative investments to integral components of financial infrastructure by 2026. This shift is driven by maturing regulations, large-scale blockchain adoption by traditional financial institutions, and clearer frameworks for stablecoins. Analysts highlight the tokenization of real-world assets and improved interoperability between bank ledgers and public blockchains as key factors in this evolution. The transformation is prompting digital asset treasuries to move beyond token holding to deploying assets in practical operations, fostering sustainable revenue models. Additionally, MSCI's decision to delay removing companies with significant cryptocurrency holdings from its indices is seen as a short-term boost for digital asset-related valuations and capital inflows. Companies like BitMine are leading the shift towards revenue-generating operations, a trend expected to permeate the industry.
