CoinShares 2026 Outlook: Digital Assets Move From Disruption to Integration
December 8, 2025-Flagship Research report charts the rise of 'hybrid finance' as blockchain merges with traditional financial infrastructure
When Bitcoin launched in 2009, it promised to bypass banks, governments and intermediaries. Fifteen years later, something unexpected has happened: the world's largest asset manager is issuing tokenised funds on public blockchains, J.P. Morgan is launching tokenised deposits on Ethereum, and the US government holds Bitcoin in a strategic reserve.
In its 2026 Digital Asset Outlook published today, CoinShares International Limited (Nasdaq Stockholm: CS; USOTCQX: CNSRF) argues this convergence, not disruption, will define the years ahead. The report introduces 'hybrid finance' as the merging of crypto ecosystems with traditional financial systems, creating infrastructure neither industry could build alone.

Canada: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2025 Article IV Mission
December 5, 2025-Canada's economy has held up better than expected despite a significant external trade shock. U.S. tariff increases-and Canada's more limited and now largely withdrawn retaliatory measures-have disrupted tightly integrated North American supply chains, raised input costs, and hit trade-exposed sectors hardest. The impact has been mitigated by continued CUSMA exemptions and firms' early adjustments, but output, employment, and investment have still weakened.
Lower commodity prices, softer external demand, slowing immigration, and tariff uncertainty have added to the drag, exposing long-standing structural headwinds from weak productivity, slow capital deepening, and lagging innovation. Recent policy actions, including targeted support to affected firms and measures in Budget 2025 to encourage investment, have helped cushion the blow. The priority now is to manage near-term pressures while advancing reforms that strengthen competitiveness, productivity, and resilience within a framework that preserves macro-fiscal sustainability.
