The investment-banking sector is gearing up for what could be one of the most active M&A and IPO cycles in recent years. 2025 marked a significant turning point—global investment-banking revenue climbed past $100 billion for the year, signaling a robust comeback in capital-raising activities and corporate restructuring.

This momentum heading into 2026 suggests Wall Street is positioned for continued dealmaking activity. The surge in banking revenues reflects renewed confidence in markets, with companies and institutions actively seeking capital solutions. Whether through mergers, acquisitions, or public offerings, the landscape shows signs of sustained optimism and liquidity flowing back into traditional finance channels.

Traditional finance is getting back on track, with $10 billion in investment banking revenue... Sounds glamorous, but we all know the story behind it—big players are stirring things up.

Traditional finance is bouncing back again, but it's hard to say how long it will last this time.

Traditional finance is about to take off again, but what does this mean for us in crypto... Is all the liquidity flowing back to Wall Street?

*adjusts alchemical instruments* ...so wall street's finally transmuting enough value to hit that $100B yield mark, interesting. but ngl, all this "renewed confidence" feels like they're just chasing the liquidity dragons we've been summoning in defi for years now. traditional finance always lags behind the protocol efficiency curve tbh
