Davos 2026 at the World Economic Forum marks a pivotal shift for crypto, with discussions moving from "if" digital assets belong in finance to "how" they'll integrate via tokenization and stablecoins.

Tokenization Takes Center Stage

Panels like "Is Tokenization the Future?" feature Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, ECB officials, and Euroclear leaders, highlighting on-chain RWAs surpassing $21B in value locked. This could unlock trillions in illiquid assets like bonds and real estate, boosting liquidity and drawing institutional capital into blockchain infrastructure.

Stablecoins as Infrastructure

Dedicated sessions on stablecoins position them for cross-border payments and wholesale settlement, backed by MiCA and U.S. GENIUS Act progress. Bermuda's announcement of the world's first on-chain economy, powered by Circle and Coinbase, signals national-scale adoption ahead.

Policy and Market Signals

President Trump's Davos presence touts crypto regulation advances amid trade tensions, though short-term volatility persists from tariff rhetoric. Overall, bullish institutional momentum points to ATH forecasts for BTC and alts, with clearer rules accelerating mainstream inflows. #wefdavos2026
