The next cycle of cryptocurrency belongs to banks, not token narratives.

According to CoinWorld, the next round of the cryptocurrency cycle will be driven by compliance and regulated distribution, rather than speculative token mechanisms. This can be seen from the surge in M&A activity focused on licensing and access to traditional markets. The supply of stablecoins has now exceeded 311 billions USD, with transaction volumes surpassing the combined totals of Visa and Mastercard, gradually becoming core infrastructure. Regulated issuers such as Ripple's RLUSD are also gaining increasing attention. Major banks such as Germany's DZ Bank are moving from pilot phases to large-scale provision of retail cryptocurrency services, marking a shift between regulated and unregulated digital systems. Institutions that can accept scrutiny and achieve wide distribution will be rewarded.
