$BTC BlackRock: Cryptocurrency is no longer an "experiment" but an element of the global financial architecture.

Key takeaways from the "Global Outlook 2026" report:

▪Stablecoins go mainstream.
Stablecoins are becoming a key bridge between traditional finance and digital liquidity. In some countries, they may start displacing local currencies from circulation.

▪Pressure on banks.
The growth of stablecoins and crypto products threatens bank deposits. Users are gaining an alternative to store money and earn yields outside the traditional banking system.

▪Crypto = infrastructure, not speculation.
The focus is shifting from "trading" to using cryptocurrencies as a layer of financial infrastructure: payments, liquidity, tokenization.

▪Institutional interest.
Even without high-profile statements about Bitcoin, the very fact of BlackRock's crypto ETF indicates recognition of digital assets as institutional capital.

▪AI technologies – the main market driver.
AI influences the economy, energy, and capital redistribution.

▪End of classical cycles.
Markets are transitioning from a "growth-decline" model to an era of structural shifts and capital concentration.

▪Illusion of diversification.
Traditional portfolios may be less protected than they seem. Many assets depend on the same factors.
