Ripple’s 2026 Digital Asset Survey reveals a major shift in global finance, showing that cryptocurrencies are increasingly viewed as essential infrastructure rather than experimental technology.
Based on responses from over 1,000 senior executives across banks, asset managers, fintech firms, and corporations, the report finds that 72% of institutions believe offering digital asset services is now necessary to stay competitive. This highlights a clear transition from early skepticism to active integration into core financial strategies.
Stablecoins Driving Real-World Adoption
Stablecoins stand out as one of the most practical and fast-growing use cases. Around 74% of respondents believe they help unlock trapped capital and significantly improve treasury and liquidity management beyond simple payments.
Fintech companies are currently leading adoption, using stablecoins for everyday payments and settlements. Meanwhile, traditional financial institutions are increasingly exploring partnerships to integrate stablecoin capabilities into their existing systems.
Custody and Security Become Top Priorities
As tokenization gains momentum, custody has emerged as a critical requirement. An overwhelming 89% of institutions prioritizing digital asset services highlight secure custody and storage as the most important factor when selecting providers.
Different sectors show distinct priorities:
Banks focus more on lifecycle management and pre-issuance advisory services
Asset managers prioritize distribution channels and broader client access
Institutions Demand Security and Integrated Platforms
Across the board, institutions are applying stricter standards when evaluating partners. Security certifications, regulatory clarity, technical support, and industry experience are now key decision drivers.

In the professional markets, wealth is not built on belief; it is built on the exploitation of mathematical errors. While the retail crowd is paralyzed by Layer-2 volatility, a massive, uncorrected structural dislocation is forming in Starknet (STRK).

The Arbitrage of Ignorance: The 150% Correction is Mathematically Mandated

The valuation discrepancy is no longer a "discount"—it is a failure of market intelligence. STRK currently trades at a staggering 0.8× its TVL, while industry leaders like ARB and OP command multiples exceeding 2×. This is not a coincidence; it is a massive, asymmetric arbitrage window. The market has priced in the risk, but it has completely failed to price in the recovery. A simple reversion to the mean targets a price north of $0.07. You are not "betting" on a price increase; you are waiting for the math to correct itself.




The Death of the Unlock Fear: The Era of the Supply-Side Squeeze

The era of "unlock anxiety" is dead. The market is still trading on outdated fears, but the reality has shifted: supply expansion has been throttled to a disciplined 0.64% per month. The upcoming June tranche is a statistical non-event. We have transitioned from a period of supply-side fear to a period of structural stability. The "unlock overhang" has been neutralized, leaving the path cleared for a violent, supply-constrained re-rating.

The Institutional Fingerprint: The Coiled Spring of Hyper-Velocity

The liquidity data on HTX reveals the truth that the charts have yet to show: STRK is exhibiting "hyper-velocity," with daily turnover-to-market-cap ratios hitting 12×. This is not retail noise; this is the unmistakable fingerprint of institutional accumulation. Combined with the impending Layer-2 perpetuals basket on HTX, the liquidity is not just present—it is coiled. The smart money is not speculating; they are positioning.

Ethereum price rose over 9% on Tuesday amid a broader market rally fueled by renewed hopes of a more stable U.S.-Iran ceasefire soon. Summary Ethereum rose over 9% to a 10-week high of $2,393, driven by improving risk sentiment tied to a potential U.S.-Iran ceasefire. Strong institutional demand, including Bitmine's continued ETH accumulation and $123.5M in short liquidations, supported the rally. A breakout from a descending channel signals a potential move toward $3,400, with $2,500 as the next key resistance level. According to data from crypto.news, Ethereum (ETH) price rose 9.2% to a 10-week high of $2,393 on Tuesday, extending its gains to over 17% from its lowest point in a monthly period. Ethereum price rebounded higher following Bitcoin's footsteps and a rally across the entire crypto market as investor demand for risk assets increased after reports revealed that Iran could likely give up on its uranium enrichment plans to secure a deal with the U.S., putting more weight on a potential ceasefire that had previously been very shaky. The largest altcoin by market cap has also benefited from aggressive buying by the Ethereum treasury company Bitmine.

Mainstream access’ for XRP? Inside Rakuten’s 3 trillion point integration

He noted that the platform has issued over 3 trillion points, worth over $23 billion.

Rakuten has over 5 million merchants and 100 million users across Japan. According to the executive, this huge reservoir could be a ‘game-changer’ and a path to ‘mainstream access’ for XRP. 

For the unfamiliar, Rakuten Wallet is part of the e-commerce giant’s fintech arm. Recently, it has doubled down on crypto support. 

Interestingly, the latest update follows Japan’s recent classification of crypto as a financial instrument. 

But can this timely bullish update help reverse XRP’s weak sentiment and trigger a recovery?

The American Bankers Association (ABA) has issued a dire warning regarding the possible destabilization of the U.S. banking system, claiming that the growth of interest-bearing stablecoins might set off a sizable outflow of retail deposits. Challenging a recent White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) report which downplayed these risks, the ABA cites Treasury estimates suggesting that widespread adoption of yield-bearing digital assets could result in a staggering USD 6.6 trillion outflow from traditional financial institutions. This "deposit flight" poses an especially grave threat to community banks, which depend on inexpensive deposits to finance local lending and would have to bear considerably greater funding expenses should they be compelled to compete with stablecoin yields.The heart of the conflict is the large difference in interest rates between regular savings accounts and new digital assets. Many regular bank accounts provide rates as low as 0.5%; stablecoin platforms are progressively aiming to provide yields between 3% and 4%, a difference the ABA expects will inevitably draw customers away from the controlled banking industry. Critics of the White House's approach contend that the CEA's models neglect the systemic hazards that would arise as the stablecoin market grows to USD 1–12 trillion, possibly resulting in a period of "disintermediation" in which the Federal Reserve's control over the money supply is reduced.The impending CLARITY Act markup planned for late April 2026 has become a main battleground for this conflict. The banking sector is vehemently advocating for bans or stringent "loophole closures" through amendments to the GENIUS Act, whereas cryptocurrency companies and certain Treasury officials support yield allowances as a means of preserving the worldwide supremacy of the U.S. dollar in the digital age.
