Ripple President Predicts Crypto Treasuries to Reach $1 Trillion by 2026

Ripple President Monica Long predicts a 5x increase in crypto treasury holdings to $1 trillion by the end of 2026, driven by institutional demand for digital assets. Currently, crypto treasuries stand at less than $200 billion.

Key Predictions

• By 2026, half of Fortune 500 companies will have formalized digital asset strategies.
• Over 200 public companies already include Bitcoin as part of their treasury strategy. Companies like BitMine are investing in Ethereum.
• More than 40 crypto ETFs launched in 2025, but they represent only 1% to 2% of the overall US ETF market.

Stablecoins' Role in Settlement

• Stablecoins are foundational for global settlement, with expectations of yield-bearing, interest-paying stablecoins.
• Major payment networks and fintech companies are integrating digital dollars into existing infrastructure.
• Stablecoin flows projected to reach $56 trillion by 2030.
• B2B stablecoin payments reached an annual run rate of $76 billion last year, up from less than $100 million per month in early 2023.
