Institutional Adoption of Public Blockchains Predicted by 2026

Yair Lavi, CFO of COTI Foundation, forecasts a major wave of institutional migration to public blockchains starting in 2026. He argues that this transition requires new privacy solutions beyond what zero-knowledge systems currently offer, necessitating a concept he calls ‘programmable privacy’. Lavi highlights that institutions need selective privacy that conceals specific aspects of transactions or application flows rather than simply anonymity.
