Regulation Seen as Catalyst for Institutional Crypto Growth

According to Goldman Sachs, a greater degree of regulatory clarity will catalyze the next big wave of institutional adoption for cryptocurrencies especially when considering applications beyond traditional trading. The bank explains that a lack of regulatory clarity has been preventing institutional investors for some time now however, such conditions are swiftly changing due to efforts by policymakers within the United States.

According to the bank, coming legislation in 2026 will provide more opportunities in the realms of tokenization, Decentralized Finance, as well as StableCoins, as the roles of major regulators will be defined. Infrastructure-based cryptocurrency companies will be the biggest beneficiaries, as these will be in a position to develop the sector without facing market volatility risks.

Although institutional allocations remain relatively low, Goldman emphasizes the strong momentum that is expected in the sector, with several asset managers likely to increase their allocation in the next year. The major catalyst of change that might turn crypto into a mainstream part of institutional portfolios is considered by the bank to be regulatory reform
