TechFlow News, January 23: According to a report by Cointelegraph, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) stated in its “2026 Global Crypto Regulation Report” that global cryptocurrency adoption is progressing at varying speeds, with some regions advancing significantly faster than others. The report notes: “While crypto networks are borderless, adoption is not. Use cases for payments, remittances, savings, capital markets, and tokenization are developing unevenly across different regions.”
PwC stated that cryptocurrency adoption remains contingent upon economic conditions, financial inclusion, and existing financial infrastructure, resulting in a “fragmented global ecosystem” where the technology addresses “very different problems” across markets. Meanwhile, PwC noted that institutional interest in cryptocurrencies has “passed the point of no return,” with banks, asset management firms, payment providers, and large enterprises integrating digital assets into their core infrastructure, balance sheets, and operational models.
