Viewpoint: Cryptocurrency Takes Center Stage at Davos 2026 Geopolitical and Financial Power Play, Shedding Its 'Dark Web' Image
BlockBeats News, January 23, 2026 - At the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, cryptocurrency has become a key topic at the intersection of politics and finance. Cryptocurrency is shedding its image as a tool for illicit activities, but central bank governors from various countries warned at the 2026 Davos World Economic Forum that it threatens currency sovereignty.
U.S. President Trump views cryptocurrency regulation as a geopolitical competitive strategy, emphasizing the swift advancement of the Market Structure Act "CLARITY Act" and making the U.S. a global crypto hub. Meanwhile, European central bank officials, including the Governor of the Bank of France, warned that private currencies could jeopardize currency sovereignty, advocating for strengthened regulation and the development of central bank digital currencies.
In the discussion of "currency sovereignty," there is a clear disagreement between Coinbase and the Bank of France: Coinbase's CEO highlighted Bitcoin's decentralized nature as superior to the traditional monetary system, while the other party emphasized the importance of currency control and sovereignty. Stablecoins and asset tokenization remain key focuses of the industry and policy, although a regulatory path has not yet reached consensus.
The Davos Forum also revealed that crypto infrastructure, stablecoins, and asset tokenization continue to integrate into the global financial agenda. While overall consensus is still forming, this area has transitioned from edge innovation to a core dialogue in global policy and financial layout.
