Fireblocks Survey: 99% of European Institutions Support Crypto Regulation, MiCA Promotes Early Layout in Europe

According to Bitcoin.com, Fireblocks released the 2026 "Financial Grid" survey report, which covered over 600 executives. The report shows that 99% of institutions on the European continent and 100% of institutions in the UK expect regulatory policies to support the development of digital assets. Influenced by the clarity of the MiCA regulatory framework, 53% of European institutions have completed funding commitments before 2026, higher than the global average of 42%; in the UK, due to the regulatory framework still being developed, this figure is only 36%, but another 59% of UK institutions plan to complete budget allocations within 2026.

In terms of product layout, European institutions lead in tokenized money market funds (62% vs 45%) and tokenized securities; the UK is more aggressive in stablecoin issuance, with 50% of institutions planning to issue stablecoins independently, higher than Europe's 40%. Both major markets list around-the-clock settlement and real-time payments as primary application scenarios.
