Fidelity Digital Assets, in its report titled “Six Key Trends Shaping Digital Assets in 2026,” states that global signs of decoupling from the U.S. dollar system are emerging as more countries and central banks turn to assets such as Bitcoin and gold. The report notes that Iran has announced it will accept payments for oil transportation tolls in Bitcoin, USD-pegged stablecoins, and the Chinese yuan—indicating the emergence of alternative settlement mechanisms outside U.S. control. Meanwhile, although gold has retreated approximately 20% from its year-to-date high, central bank demand for gold remains robust.
