डावोस 2026 ने डिजिटल एसेट्स को संस्थागत रूप से अपनाया

विश्व के निर्णय निर्माताओं की बैठक

स्विट्ज़रलैंड के डावोस में विश्व आर्थिक मंच (WEF) की बैठक, वर्तमान में चल रही है, जो 19 जनवरी से 23 जनवरी 2026 तक चल रही है। इस बैठक में राजनीति, अर्थशास्त्र और व्यापार के विश्व के अधिकांश नेताओं (350 सरकारी नेता, जिनमें से 60 राज्य प्रमुख) की भागीदारी है। कुल मिलाकर 3,000 से अधिक लोग भाग ले रहे हैं, जिसमें कई पत्रकारों को नहीं गिना गया है।

गैर-सरकारी नेताओं में प्रमुख तकनीकी हस्तियों में Nvidia के Jensen Huang, Microsoft के Satya Nadella, Google DeepMind के Demis Hassabis, और फ्रांस के Mistral AI के Arthur Mensch शामिल हैं।

फोरम में भू-राजनीति और कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता से लेकर जलवायु परिवर्तन तक के विषयों पर 200 से अधिक चर्चा सत्र होते हैं।

While the beginning of 2026 has been rich in geopolitical tension (Venezuela, Greenland, Iran), another trend is capturing significant attention: the radical shift in position regarding cryptocurrencies and digital assets.

डावोस में क्रिप्टो: अटकलबाज़ी से बुनियादी ढांचा तक

Until recently, cryptocurrencies were seen by the world of finance as a curiosity or a speculative risk—something most institutions avoided, fearing reputational risks and the ire of financial regulators.

यह बदलाव बिटकॉइन ईटीएफ, अन्य क्रिप्टो एसेट वर्गों की स्वीकृति, और वित्तीय संस्थानों द्वारा ब्लॉकचेन को आज की बुनियादी ढांचा का एक प्रमुख हिस्सा मानने के साथ मूलभूत रूप से आया है।

यह केवल क्रिप्टो तक सीमित नहीं है। उदाहरण के लिए, NYSE 24/7 टोकनाइज़्ड सिक्योरिटीज़ ट्रेडिंग की तैयारी कर रहा है, जो पूरी तरह ब्लॉकचेन रेल्स पर आधारित तकनीक है।

इसी प्रकार, राजनीतिक हस्तियों ने इस एसेट वर्ग को अधिक खुलकर अपनाया है, जैसा कि US स्ट्रैटेजिक बिटकॉइन रिज़र्व की स्थापना और टेक्सास द्वारा अपना राज्य-स्तरीय बिटकॉइन रिज़र्व बनाने से स्पष्ट होता है।

A clear sign of changing attitudes was the 2025 AI Crypto Summit held at Davos, which set the stage for this year’s institutional embrace.

डावोस 2026: डिजिटल एसेट्स केंद्र में

SWIFT

The global payments network SWIFT, the technological backbone of the global financial system, announced at the meeting that interoperable tokenized assets could significantly improve global trade efficiency.

More precisely, the network is working on tokenized assets with major financial institutions:

• Bridging tokenized assets with existing payment systems with UBS Asset Management and Chainlink.
• Settling payments between fiat and digital currencies with Citi.
• Exchanging digital asset transactions via a commercial bank account with Northern Trust and the Reserve Bank of Australia.
• Enabling ISO 20022-based blockchain interoperability with HSBC and Ant International.

SWIFT is now adding a blockchain-based ledger to its technology infrastructure. The ledger will initially focus on enabling real-time, 24/7 cross-border payments, designed in collaboration with over 30 banks worldwide.

“By proving that Swift can orchestrate multi-platform tokenized asset transactions, we’re paving the way for our members to adopt digital assets with confidence, and at scale.“

WEF घोषणाएँ

In preparation for the Davos 2026 Summit, the WEF released a series of whitepapers regarding digital assets.

The first, in अगस्त 2025, titled “How will asset tokenization transform the future of finance?”, explained how tokenization democratizes financial market access, makes transactions cheaper, and ensures faster settlement times.

Another, released on January 7th, 2026, discussed stablecoins and how “trust is the currency of the future”: “Stablecoins as a bridge not a threat”.

“We are witnessing a fundamental shift in how the world works, but how the world pays is struggling to keep up. By treating stablecoins as a modern rail for value transfer, we can build a financial system not only faster and cheaper, but more resilient and inclusive.”

This was followed by “A digital economy at an inflection point” and “The new foundation of global finance”.

Key takeaways from these publications reveal that the WEF is making a major shift in 2026 to fully embrace digital assets:

• Regulatory clarity is facilitating increased adoption and scalability.
• Blockchain is increasingly becoming “boring” infrastructure as adoption shifts from experimentation to enterprise-grade deployment.
• A convergence is taking shape as banks adopt blockchain infrastructure, and blockchains evolve to meet the needs of regulated institutions.

Some participants directly supported this role. For example, Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary Paul Chan highlighted digital assets as a prime example of financial innovation that enhances transparency and risk management.

This matches Hong Kong’s policy, as the city government has issued three batches of tokenized green bonds totaling approximately $2.1B. Meanwhile, the government of Bermuda revealed plans to become the world’s first fully on-chain national economy.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire also attended alongside senior public-sector figures, including the Governor of the Central Bank of France and the CEO of Euroclear.

Considering the members of the WEF, this is not just panel discussions at a think tank, but a radical shift in the attitude of the world’s leaders toward digital assets.

The WEF documents say as much:

“In 2026, there will be an increased convergence between the TradFi and DeFi world. In the next year, several jurisdictions are expected to roll out more regulatory guidance for digital assets.”

This evolution will happen in tandem with new regulations, successful pilot experiments, and the embracing of blockchain by financial institutions, which are now certain that adopting digital assets implies less regulatory risk than before.

In that respect, the prominent position given to digital assets at Davos 2026 is both a strong signal and a confirmation that this is the direction desired from traditionally conservative banks, insurance, and investment funds.

“We’re moving into a “systems phase,” where core financial infrastructure is being rewired in real time. Infrastructure companies became the connective tissue: custody, liquidity, on-chain transfers, compliance, and settlement brought into a form that banks can deploy securely and programmatically.”

The WEF also recognized that 55 million Americans hold crypto today, and that the number is still climbing, making this technology impossible to ignore any longer for the financial establishment.

As an “elite” meeting, Davos was likely influenced by other facts: 61% of affluent individuals already hold digital assets, but only 25% transact via their advisors. Worse, 51% of high-net-worth investors have already moved assets away from advisors who don’t offer digital assets.

WEF डिजिटल एसेट्स को कैसे देखता है?

It seems that the world’s leaders in both finance and politics have a clear view of where to steer the direction of the blockchain revolution.

The first part is about stablecoins, which are being widely praised by central banks and the WEF for making cryptos “acceptable”.

“Stablecoins have become the first truly universal blockchain use case, turning a technical breakthrough into something deeply practical. You can already see that shift in how customers behave: lower-cost cross-border payments, real-time brokerage funding, and faster merchant settlement are becoming increasingly normal features of day-to-day finance.”

Companies like Tether are becoming large holders of US treasuries, with Tether ranking higher than entire countries as it became the #17th largest U.S. debt holder in अक्टूबर 2025, ahead of South Korea, with more than $135B in Treasury exposure.

टोकनाइज़ेशन

Another trend the WEF is enthusiastically embracing is tokenization. The promise of instant transfer and programmability is a radical improvement over legacy systems.

“Inside banks and fintechs, tokenization isn’t seen as an experiment anymore. It’s no surprise that BlackRock CEO Larry Fink recently penned an entire byline to The Economist on this very topic.”

The idea is to turn blockchain into an invisible, but crucial, background infrastructure.

“If you zoom out, the most transformative technologies are the ones that eventually disappear. No one thinks about TCP/IP when they open a browser. They just expect pages to load. No one thinks about GPS protocols when their ride share shows up.”

The WEF also correctly assesses that, from the consumer side, the interaction with blockchain needs to become almost invisible for the broader public, allowing mass adoption beyond the early crypto enthusiasts.

डावोस 2026 ने डिजिटल एसेट्स के लिए संरचनात्मक बदलाव को चिह्नित किया

डावोस 2026 वह वर्ष है जब डिजिटल एसेट्स वास्तव में मुख्यधारा में प्रवेश करते हैं, जिसमें सरकार के प्रमुख, SWIFT और वित्तीय नियामकों सहित सबसे उच्च स्तर के संस्थानों द्वारा ब्लॉकचेन की संभावनाओं को कई मोर्चों पर मान्यता मिली है।

यह कहना नहीं है कि शिखर सम्मेलन के अगले दिन दुनिया अचानक हर लेन‑देन के लिए ब्लॉकचेन पर स्विच कर देगी। लेकिन यह क्रिप्टो को भविष्य के वित्तीय बुनियादी ढांचे के कोर में लाने की एक निर्णायक कदम है।

बिल्कुल, कुछ क्रिप्टो उत्साही इसे तकनीक की मूल भावना से हटते हुए देखेंगे। लेकिन “स्थापना” द्वारा इसे आवश्यक मानना शायद दुनिया के अभिजात वर्ग की सबसे बड़ी प्रशंसा है।

अनुपालन‑पहले क्रिप्टो विजेता

Gemini

जैसे ही क्रिप्टोकरेंसी मुख्यधारा में प्रवेश करती हैं और वित्तीय संस्थानों द्वारा स्वीकार की जाती हैं, इस क्षेत्र की “बागी छवि” धीरे‑धीरे धुंधली होती जा रही है। इस संदर्भ में, यदि क्रिप्टो एक्सचेंज अनुपालन पर ध्यान केंद्रित करते हैं तो वे अन्य की तुलना में बेहतर स्थिति में होते हैं।

A strong example is Gemini Space Station, a crypto exchange which describes itself in fitting terms:

“As a trusted bridge between the traditional financial system and the emerging cryptoeconomy, we are providing access for individuals and institutions to a decentralized future that is more open, fair, and secure.”

The approach of Gemini toward regulators (“Ask for permission, not forgiveness”) has paid off. Following its successful IPO in सितंबर 2025, Gemini has leveraged its new public capital to deepen partnerships with major banks and investment funds.

Gemini offers not only access to cryptos, but also Tokenized Stocks, On-Chain Equities, a credit card, the stablecoin Gemini dollar (GUSD), and perpetual contracts.

The company also recently received a CFTC license to enter the prediction markets. This puts it alongside other giants of the sector like Kalshi and Polymarket.

Overall, the embracing of blockchain by groups like the WEF is likely going to benefit companies like Gemini, which have embraced the idea of “compliance-first crypto” even when it was not a popular position among crypto enthusiasts.
