Goldman Sachs: Regulatory Clarity Will Drive a New Wave of Institutional Adoption of Crypto Assets

According to CoinDesk, Goldman Sachs stated that U.S. cryptocurrency market structure legislation is expected to become a key catalyst for institutional adoption of crypto assets in 2026.

The report noted that the regulatory easing promoted by the Trump administration and the leadership changes at the SEC provide policy certainty for institutions. Goldman Sachs expects that areas such as tokenization, DeFi, and stablecoins will experience growth driven by the new regulations, particularly as infrastructure companies benefit from ecosystem expansion while avoiding trading cycle volatility.
