Abstract generation in progress

[Crypto World] Moody’s latest industry-wide outlook for 2026 has attracted attention. The report points out that stablecoins are undergoing a transformation from crypto-native tools to institutional-grade infrastructure. In the context of increasing tokenization of the financial system, fiat-backed stablecoins and tokenized deposits are gradually evolving into “digital cash” for liquidity management, collateral transfer, and transaction settlement.

Interestingly, banks, asset management firms, and market infrastructure providers are already taking action. They are conducting pilots of blockchain settlement networks, tokenization platforms, and digital custody, aiming to optimize issuance processes, post-trade clearing and settlement, and intraday liquidity operations.

Even more noteworthy are the data: Moody’s forecasts that by 2030, as enterprises build large-scale tokenization and programmable settlement systems, investments in digital finance and infrastructure could exceed $300 billion. This not only reflects market optimism about tokenization but also signals that the shift from conceptual validation to practical application of blockchain technology is approaching.

300 billion? Traditional finance really can't sit still now. Major banks are secretly working on blockchain technology.

The figure of 300 billion sounds impressive, but the key is whether the actual scenario's sustainability can keep up with the investment enthusiasm. Financial infrastructure requires stability and liquidity support, not quick money to harvest profits. It's essential to strictly monitor the real participation and ROI efficiency of these pilot projects.

300 billion? Wake up, it's just a paper number again. Will the banks really decentralize?

$300 billion? Sounds great, but we’ll have to wait for actual implementation. --- Major institutions are piloting, indicating that the trend is really here. --- Stablecoins are transforming from crypto tools into financial infrastructure, and this shift is happening pretty fast. --- By 2030, $300 billion. Should we invest now or wait and see? Still undecided. --- Banks are starting to do blockchain settlements, traditional finance really can’t sit still anymore. --- It seems that tokenization is the hottest buzzword this round, but where are the truly killer applications? --- Moody’s is optimistic about tokenization, so should retail investors follow suit? --- The concept of digital cash has been heard countless times over the past few years, and it’s starting to become numbingly familiar. --- The most critical point is that institutions are taking action; otherwise, it’s just another round of empty promises.
