Deep Tide TechFlow News, January 21 — According to Cryptobriefing, Ripple President Monica Long predicts that approximately 50% of Fortune 500 companies will hold cryptocurrency exposure and implement formal strategies including tokenized assets, on-chain government bonds, stablecoins, and programmable financial instruments by the end of 2026.

Long stated: “After the most exciting year in cryptocurrency, the industry is entering a production era. By 2026, we will see the institutionalization of cryptocurrencies.” She believes 2026 will be a true inflection point for institutional adoption and the expansion of the value internet.

Regarding stablecoins, Long pointed out that they will become “the foundation for global settlement, rather than an alternative channel,” and mentioned that major institutions like Visa and Stripe have integrated them into their payment processes. She predicts that 5% to 10% of capital market settlements will move on-chain, and about half of the top 50 global banks will establish new custody protocols by 2026.
