Fidelity Digital Assets’ research notes that digital assets are approaching a structural inflection point comparable to the impact of containerization on global trade. The evolution is being underpinned by the ongoing development of custody infrastructure, institutional participation, and advisory ecosystems that underpin a broader financial transformation. Chris Kuiper indicates that these advances are collectively shaping how assets are accessed and managed on a global scale.
As access to cryptocurrency widens, wealth advisors could emerge as an underappreciated source of long-term demand for digital assets. This trend accompanies broader moves by financial institutions to offer custody, derivatives, and tokenization services, signaling a more extensive role for crypto in traditional finance.
Major banks have announced plans to build digital asset capabilities in 2025, and 2026 is expected to bring deeper integration into the traditional financial system. Regulators are often cited as a potential accelerator, providing greater clarity that could hasten the adoption of these new capabilities across markets.
