#CryptoIntegration Revolution in the Traditional System
Current facts:
- 87% of G20 banks integrate crypto (vs. 45% in 2023).
- Crypto payment volumes on Visa/Mastercard: $47 billion quarterly (210% increase year-on-year).
- Tokenization of real-world assets (RWA): $1.2 trillion market valuation.
Engines of integration:
1. The MiCA regulation in the EU has standardized the legal framework.
2. The requirement of corporations for cheap cross-border payments.
3. Institutional adoption: 21% of pension funds allocate to crypto.
Key news:
- JPMorgan Chase has tokenized government securities on a private blockchain (volume: $900 million).
- Swift* is launching an interface for stablecoins in 2026.
- Goldman Sachs offers ETH-backed loans to premium clients.
Risks:
- Regulatory fragmentation: SEC (USA) vs. MiCA (EU) creates inefficiencies.
- Increased ransomware attacks by 300% using crypto payments.
- Hidden centralization: 65% of RWA are controlled by 5 banks.
Forecasts:
- By 2026: 40% of B2B payments will use stablecoins.
- CBDCs will cover 30% of global savings.
- Real estate tokenization will reach $450 billion.
Conclusion:
Crypto integration is becoming inevitable, but the bifurcation between ideal decentralization and institutional control is deepening. Watch for:
1. Unification of legal frameworks (FED + ECB).
2. The explosion of RWA in emerging markets.
3. The response to cyber attacks.
