May 28, 2026

Blockchain banking has rotated out of speculation and into infrastructure. This paper maps the shift — the capital, the regulation, and the technology turning digital dollars into the rails global finance now runs on.

What this paper covers

  • Digital dollars as core infrastructure: $313B in market cap, $50T in annual transaction volume
  • How GENIUS and MiCAR reshaped the market across the US, EMEA, and Asia
  • Stablecoins vs. tokenized deposits — and the divide it creates
  • The competitive landscape: three clusters, mapped with funding data
  • The tech stack: blockchains, ERC standards, and architecture
  • Funding flows, exits, and the regulatory horizon

What to expect

  • A clear read on where institutional capital is moving
  • What the stablecoin / tokenized-deposit split means for builders and allocators
  • How regulation favors different business models in different regions
  • Where the next wave of trillion-dollar financial companies emerges
