Glassnode and Fasanara Digital map TradFi’s move into crypto derivatives in Q4 2026 report

The joint report covers liquidity, derivatives, tokenized assets and institutional flows, with perpetuals on stocks, gold and oil growing on major venues Glassnode and Fasanara Digital have released their Q4 2026 Digital Asset Report. It examines how digital asset market structure is changing as the fourth quarter gets underway. The headline finding: traditional finance is increasingly using crypto derivatives. Perpetual contracts tied to stocks, gold and oil are growing on major trading venues. The joint report spans four areas: liquidity, derivatives, tokenized assets and institutional flows. Its stated audience is allocators, meaning the people who decide where large pools of capital go. The derivatives finding deserves the most attention.
