The CFOs of BTC, SOL, and HYPE predict that by 2026, mergers and acquisitions, diversification, and increased institutional adoption will occur.

Following the milestone year of 2025 when corporate cryptocurrency asset holdings surpassed the $100 billion mark, executives predict that 2026 will see consolidation, diversified revenue models, and deeper institutional adoption, all contingent on regulatory progress. CFOs from companies like KindlyMD, Hyperion DeFi, and Upexi expect a reshuffle in the market, with stronger companies acquiring weaker ones. Meanwhile, many firms will explore new business lines beyond simple asset holdings, such as staking, financial products, and ecosystem services, to generate income decoupled from token prices. All executives agree that the potential clarification of U.S. regulatory policies, especially the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (DAMA), is a key catalyst for further institutional investment and broader adoption of on-chain finance.
