Crypto 2026 Outlook: Fidelity Reports on Tokenomics 2.0 and the $7.5T Liquidity Wave

Convergence: Crypto as a Full-Stack Asset Class
The year 2025 was a period of consolidation, but 2026 marks the era of Convergence. According to Fidelity’s "2026 Look Ahead" report, digital assets have officially transitioned from informal experimental forums to regulated exchanges and sophisticated financial instruments. Crypto is no longer a niche sub-sector; it has become a "full-stack asset class."

Institutional adoption is no longer a theory. With spot crypto ETFs reaching $124 billion in AUM by late 2025, the infrastructure now supports institutional lending, regulated derivatives, and robust custody solutions. As Bitcoin integrates further into Traditional Finance (TradFi) systems, it is increasingly viewed as a legitimate reserve asset, rivaling gold’s historical dominance in portfolio construction.
