According to a report released by Chainalysis on Wednesday titled "North America: The Inside Story of Growth in Agency Commerce," the United States will become a net inflow country for Bitcoin in 2026, marking the first time since 2022. The data shows that institutions have continued to buy Bitcoin this year, while retail investors are generally in a selling position. The report states that dollar stablecoins provide a way for those without U.S. bank accounts to hold dollars, while Americans already have dollar accounts, leading other parts of the world to turn to digital dollars, with Americans increasingly relying on Bitcoin as a scarce store of value.The report points out that since the launch of the spot Bitcoin ETF in 2024, the U.S. share of global Bitcoin activity has been rising in each reporting period, even though the U.S. crypto economy size (2.78 trillion dollars) shrank by 2.2% during the bear market, it still retained most of the nearly doubled gains by 2025. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved the Bitcoin ETF in January 2024, after having rejected such products for a decade; these funds managed by Wall Street institutions such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and more recently Morgan Stanley, set the record for the most successful issuance in ETF history.The report also states that stablecoins have transformed U.S. debt into the preferred currency for peer-to-peer economies and cross-border enterprises, with stablecoins continuously entering new application scenarios in 2026, mainly occurring overseas, bringing billions of dollars in economic activity to U.S. businesses and government. Since Donald Trump took office, several laws and executive orders supporting the crypto industry have been signed, including the GENIUS Act signed in 2025, which allows entities such as banks to issue stablecoins, provided they are backed by assets like U.S. Treasury bonds and disclose reserve status monthly.

The Swedish central bank (Riksbank) has suggested that lawmakers prepare relevant legislation for the potential launch of a digital krona, citing reasons including the European Central Bank (ECB) advancing the digital euro and the increasing use of foreign currency stablecoins.In a letter, the bank stated that the ECB plans to conduct a pilot for the digital euro in 2027 and may launch it to the public in 2029. The Swedish central bank pointed out that if the payment system lacks a digital version of the national currency, its competitiveness may be affected. The bank believes that foreign currency stablecoins, such as those pegged to the US dollar, are widely used for payments within Sweden, which may put pressure on the use of the Swedish krona, but short-term risks are limited. The Swedish central bank estimates that the launch of a digital krona will take at least five years, not including the time required for legislative changes.
