Hashdex Forecasts Major Growth in Stablecoins, Tokenized Assets, and AI Crypto by 2026
Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth Management and former head of The ETF Store, shared Hashdex's bullish 2026 cryptocurrency outlook on X. The forecast highlights a doubling of the stablecoin market cap to over $500 billion, a tenfold surge in tokenized real-world assets, and a $10 billion valuation for AI-driven crypto projects.
Stablecoins are positioned as the new "cryptodollar," with adoption in regions like the UAE and Latin America offsetting declining USD reliance in China and Russia. Platforms like PayPal and USDC are accelerating this trend, particularly in Brazil.
The report recommends a 5-10% crypto allocation for most investors, signaling institutional confidence in the sector's maturation. Tokenization and AI emerge as key growth vectors, with RWAs and algorithmic trading systems expected to dominate the next phase of blockchain adoption.
