According to Bitcoin.com, Fireblocks has released its 2026 Financial Grid survey, which surveyed over 600 executives. The report reveals that 99% of institutions on the European continent and 100% of UK institutions expect regulatory policies to support digital asset development. Influenced by the clarity of the MiCA regulatory framework, 53% of European institutions have already committed funding prior to 2026, surpassing the global average of 42%; in the UK, where the regulatory framework is still under development, this figure stands at 36%, yet 59% of UK institutions plan to complete their budget allocations within 2026. In terms of product positioning, European institutions lead in tokenized money market funds (62% vs. 45%) and tokenized securities; the UK is more aggressive in stablecoin issuance, with 50% of institutions planning to issue their own stablecoins, compared to 40% in Europe. Both markets rank 24/7 settlement and real-time payments as their top use cases.
