CoinVoice has learned that Casterman Advisory founder Andr é Casterman posted on the X platform stating that 2026 will be a critical turning point for the crypto market. The industry’s focus has shifted from “whether crypto is needed” to building new financial infrastructure. Tokenization and digital assets will transition from pilot phases to regulated production deployments.

In terms of transaction banking, central banks and institutions worldwide have adopted a “wholesale first” strategy for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), tokenized deposits, and regulated stablecoins (such as USDC and RLUSD). The upcoming crypto market structural legislation will support institutional applications. Once regulations are clarified, banks will heavily invest in areas like crypto trading. Digital currencies will coexist and achieve interoperability. Blockchain will become a parallel financial track, with banks continuing to act as intermediaries. The industry’s focus is shifting toward building infrastructure under clear regulation.
