ISO 20022, G20’s P2P, among payment trends in 2026, poised to push crypto to new ATHs
The new international electronic payment standard, ISO 20022, was implemented in November last year. With the G20’s push for peer-to-peer transactions and the integration of AI in settlement structures, financial intelligence business RedCompass Labs believes the new payment trends might just be what the crypto market needs to reach new highs.
The crypto market began the year below $3 trillion, but with a few positives in a geopolitically jittery environment, it has helped it climb back above that level. Bitcoin and Ethereum are still consolidating near their end-of-2025 prices, although RedCompass Labs predicts that the upcoming changes in global payment standards could flip the bearish spell bullish.
