Grayscale’s 2026 crypto outlook: regulation to drive adoption as quantum risks remain distant

Grayscale has released its 2026 crypto market outlook, stating that regulatory developments, rather than quantum computing threats, are set to shape the next phase of digital asset adoption. The firm's analysts expect a U.S. bipartisan crypto asset framework in 2026, which they say could boost institutional participation while quantum computing has not yet shown a material impact on crypto security or prices. The report also highlights growing ETF flows, Dollar Debasement Risk, and stablecoin legislation as key themes for the year ahead.
