According to BlockBeats, JPMorgan's '2026 Outlook' report indicates a rapidly emerging competition between the U.S. dollar and digital assets. The cryptocurrency market capitalization has now surpassed $4 trillion, doubling from $2 trillion at the beginning of 2024. Investors are increasingly seeking a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies, particularly in the United States.
Stablecoins are gaining significant traction in the financial services industry. Despite their rapid transaction growth, only about $70 billion in payments appear to be genuinely processed through stablecoin systems. Overall, digital assets are gaining popularity, driven in part by the exploration of alternatives to the dollar.
