PANews January 21 News, according to CoinDesk, asset management firm BlackRock in its 2026 thematic outlook report listed cryptocurrencies and asset tokenization as important trends driving the market in unprecedented ways. The company specifically mentioned Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins, viewing them as part of a broader market transformation force. The report pointed out that BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has become the fastest-growing exchange-traded product in history, with net assets exceeding $70 billion, reflecting investors’ continued inclusion of Bitcoin as part of thematic allocations. Meanwhile, the report emphasized that asset tokenization is gaining increasing attention, and this process is changing the way investors access the market, with stablecoins being an early example of tokenized assets.
BlackRock believes that as the tokenization trend continues, opportunities to access cash and assets outside of U.S. Treasuries via blockchain will increase. The report specifically highlighted Ethereum blockchain, due to its widespread application in building decentralized applications and token infrastructure, as a potential beneficiary of tokenization development. This indicates that BlackRock views digital assets as part of a larger “transformative force” encompassing artificial intelligence, geopolitical issues, and global infrastructure.
