Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Ark Invest sees bitcoin and tokenization driving the next phase of digital asset growth Original Link: https://cryptonews.net/news/finance/32321916/ Asset manager Ark Invest said the convergence of blockchain technology, institutional adoption and regulatory clarity is reshaping digital assets from a speculative niche into a foundational layer of the global financial system.

In its Big Ideas 2026 report, Ark Invest framed the shift as a significant change rather than incremental progress, arguing that bitcoin, smart contract networks and tokenized assets are moving from experimentation to scale faster than consensus expectations.

The investment manager pointed to bitcoin’s growing role as a new institutional asset class.

According to the firm, U.S. exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and public companies increased their combined bitcoin holdings to about 12% of total supply in 2025, up from less than 9% a year earlier. Over the same period, the report said bitcoin’s risk-adjusted returns outperformed most major cryptocurrencies and broader crypto indexes, while drawdowns from all-time highs became more muted, reinforcing its case that the cryptocurrency is maturing as a store of value.
