Fireblocks said in a new report that financial institutions across Europe and the UK are moving toward full-stack digital asset infrastructure as budget planning and investment activity pick up ahead of 2026. According to the report, 53% of European institutions have already locked in their 2026 budgets, while 59% of UK institutions said they plan to invest in 2026. Security ranked as the top consideration when institutions choose a provider, with 67% of continental European institutions identifying secure custody as a key requirement. On regulation, the report said the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework, or MiCAR, has given the region a unified structure, while UK rules are still being developed. The report also pointed to an earlier industry move: Qivalis, a consortium of 12 European banks, selected Fireblocks as the infrastructure partner for its euro stablecoin project. The item was cited by CryptoBriefing.
