Hashdex Predicts Stablecoin, Tokenization, AI Growth by 2026
Hashdex's 2026 crypto investment outlook suggests viewing crypto as a regular portfolio allocation, recommending a 5-10% inclusion due to macroeconomic factors like inflation and debt. This aligns with a survey indicating 45% of financial advisors plan to invest in crypto ETFs.
- The global crypto market cap exceeds $3 trillion, highlighting that underweighting crypto is an active choice.
- Adding crypto improves risk-adjusted returns, though higher allocations increase volatility.
- Hashdex identifies three key themes for 2026:
Top 3 Crypto Predictions For 2026
- Cryptodollar: Stablecoin market could grow from $295 billion to over $500 billion by 2026, impacting US Treasury demand.
- Tokenization: Market for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) may expand from $36 billion to $400 billion, with significant growth in tokenized Treasury bills.
- AI Integration: Decentralized AI networks might receive substantial funding, growing the "AI Crypto" segment from $3 billion to $10 billion.
The report emphasizes the deepening role of stablecoins, asset tokenization, and AI in enhancing crypto infrastructure. Hashdex anticipates these developments will make crypto a strategic rather than exploratory investment by 2026.
