BlackRock: US debt growth will drive cryptocurrency price increases

Odaily Planet Daily reports that BlackRock has released its 2026 outlook. Leaving aside its pessimistic outlook on US bonds and the world's largest economy, the report essentially outlines an optimistic roadmap for accelerated institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies.

The report points out that the US federal debt will exceed $38 trillion, market fragility will increase, and traditional hedging tools will gradually become ineffective. In this environment, Wall Street giants will turn to digital assets as an alternative investment more quickly.

Samara Cohen, head of global markets development at BlackRock, said that stablecoins have "moved out of the niche" and are becoming a key bridge between traditional finance and digital liquidity.
