Corporates are moving decisively toward digital asset infrastructure, with 81% budgeting for projects in 2026, alongside roughly 90% of transaction banks. Across all surveyed institutions, 88% plan to invest this year, while 11% have shifted their timeline to 2027. Spending is substantial: 53% are allocating at least $1 million annually, a level Fireblocks classifies as production-scale investment. Yet only 16% have reached live production, leaving most institutions in development. The Fireblocks report, titled "The Financial Grid," is based on a January 2026 survey, with corporate-specific findings released in September 2026. Corporates are ahead of banks on some production measures, including tokenized instruments, with about 11% already having launched related initiatives. Regulation is not viewed as the main obstacle: 96% expect favorable outcomes from evolving frameworks such as MiCA in Europe and emerging U.S. guidance. Skills shortages and integration with core systems are the leading barriers. Corporates and transaction banks share priorities around 24/7 settlement, real-time payments and stronger cross-border payments, while 43% cited non-bank competition as a key investment motivator.
