PANews January 24 News, André Casterman, founder of Casterman Advisory, posted on X platform that 2026 will be a critical turning point for the crypto market. Industry focus has shifted from “whether cryptocurrencies are needed” to building new financial infrastructure. Tokenization and digital assets will transition from pilot phases to regulated production deployments. In the area of transaction banking, central banks and institutions worldwide have adopted a “wholesale-first” strategy for CBDCs, tokenized deposits, and regulated stablecoins (such as USDC and RLUSD). The upcoming crypto market structural legislation will support institutional applications, and once regulations are clarified, banks will heavily invest in areas like crypto trading. Digital currencies will coexist and achieve interoperability, blockchain will become a parallel financial track, banks will continue to act as intermediaries, and industry focus will shift to building infrastructure under clear regulation.

Mizuho Securities raised its target price to $100, while maintaining a "Neutral" rating, but became more optimistic about profit prospects. Analysts believe that if the Federal Reserve continues to keep interest rates high, Circle's revenue will benefit accordingly, but market competition and regulatory pressures should still be watched carefully.
