Accenture 2026 report says \'unconstrained banking\' era has arrived
Forbes, citing Accenture\'s 2026 Banking Trends Report, reported that an \'unconstrained banking\' era has arrived as traditional banks move toward large-scale applications of stablecoins, crypto assets and tokenised deposits. The report forecasts direct competitive pressure on traditional deposit and lending businesses and warns of growing structural risks. It says the risks could affect about $200 trillion in bank assets and estimates up to $13 trillion in transaction volume could shift away from traditional payments by the late 2030s.
