Grayscale Projects 2026 Crypto Market Growth Driven by New Regulations
Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Regulatory Framework Outlook: Grayscale anticipates that the U.S. will pass a bipartisan crypto asset framework in 2026, applying traditional financial rules to digital assets, which is expected to accelerate institutional adoption and enhance market activity.
- Quantum Computing Risk Assessment: While quantum computing risks are deemed legitimate, Grayscale analysts believe that no sufficiently powerful quantum computer currently exists to threaten existing cryptographic standards, thus limiting its impact on the crypto market.
- ETF Market Expansion: Grayscale projects that more asset classes will emerge via exchange-traded funds (ETFs) next year, with approximately $87 billion raised globally in 2025, indicating growing institutional interest in crypto assets.
- Inflation-Driven Demand: Grayscale believes that risks of dollar debasement, high public debt, and inflation will drive demand for crypto assets, potentially pushing prices to new highs and marking the beginning of a more institutional era in the crypto market.
