Okay, so Coinbase’s David Duong-bless his heart-says 2026 is the year crypto finally gets its act together. Apparently, ETFs, stablecoins, and…wait for it… tokenized assets are going to combine forces and make crypto mainstream. As if we haven’t heard that before. 🙄 I’m not saying I’m cynical, but I am saying I’ve seen this movie. Several times.
- So, this David Duong guy thinks ETFs, stablecoins, and tokenization are a magical trifecta. It’s like a financial Avengers assemble, but with less Chris Evans.🦸
- Apparently, the GENIUS Act (catchy name, right?) and MiCA in Europe are making the suits on Wall Street feel a little less nervous. Progress! 🎉
- Coinbase is buying stuff and suing people. Because, naturally. They want to be the “Everything Exchange.” Sounds exhausting.
Basically, the idea is that now that the rules are a little clearer (and after several years of… ambiguity), bigger players will actually dip their toes in. ETFs are letting in the casual investors, companies are hoarding crypto like it’s digital Beanie Babies, and stablecoins are… well, they’re trying to be stable. It’s a whole thing.
ETFs: The Hype is Real (Probably)
Duong says 2025 was a “turning point.” Like, suddenly everyone woke up and was like, “Oh, right, digital money!” It’s a bit dramatic, but okay. He thinks things will speed up in 2026 because it’ll be faster to get ETFs approved, stablecoins will be used for actual stuff (like paying for things!), and tokenized collateral will…tokenize. It’s very technical. I need a drink. 🍸
Apparently, crypto adoption has been, like, stubbornly consistent. Which, according to Duong, is good! It means it’s maturing! Not…stagnating. Definitely maturing. 🧐
Now, thanks to the GENIUS Act and MiCA, institutions are starting to look at crypto with slightly less suspicion. They’re having meetings! They’re writing reports! They’re cautiously allocating capital! It’s a whole bureaucratic process. 😴
“Operational readiness” is now a thing. Which sounds incredibly boring, but apparently, it means companies can actually build stuff now without immediately being shut down by regulators. Baby steps, people, baby steps.
Apparently, crypto isn’t just for the bros in hoodies anymore. Now it’s for…allocators. And end-users? Whatever those are. It’s all tied to the economy and politics now, because of course it is.🌍
“Demand no longer hinges on a single story,” says Duong. Which is true. It’s now just…part of the system. Like taxes and disappointment. 🤷♀️
Oh, and Coinbase is trying to become an “Everything Exchange.” Because why not? They bought a company and they are sueing states because…regulation. This feels like a lot.
