Barclays analysts warned that traditional banks risk losing market share if they fail to adopt crypto and blockchain technology as digital assets become more integrated into the global financial system.
The bank highlighted the rapid growth of stablecoins, tokenized assets, and crypto payment infrastructure, noting that these innovations could disrupt core banking services like settlements, custody, and cross-border transfers.
Rather than disappearing, banks are expected to evolve by offering crypto custody, trading, and tokenization services, signaling that digital assets are moving from the fringe into mainstream finance.
