Most people have come to appreciate the potential benefits of blockchain, and innovators worldwide are working to boost process efficiencies using this technology. It\u2019s no surprise that several trends will shape the future and positively influence the blockchain\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that we are going to see several trends shape themselves and positively influence the direction of the blockchain. In this guide, we are going to look at the three most important cryptocurrency trends of the year.\u00a0 You will learn how these trends are going to influence<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/robertanzalone\/2020\/05\/13\/will-enterprise-blockchain-survive-a-new-report-says-that-the-blockchain-technology-market-will-reach-21-billion-by-2025\/\"> cryptocurrency markets <\/a>and how different key players are responding or will respond.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Institutionalization\"><\/span>Institutionalization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bitcoin has already attracted billions of dollars of investments from leading companies and institutions. Tesla kickstarted this year\u2019s institutional investment by staking $1.5 billion into Bitcoin. Canadian technology firm Microstrategy followed suit by investing over $15 million to purchase\u00a0 328 bitcoins.<\/p>\n<p>However, Microstrategy has been a long term investor of cryptocurrency and the recent 328 BTC was only an addition to its long term portfolio. Institutionalization of Cryptocurrencies has emerged as a primary theme since 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Such entrants into the crypto sphere will possibly increase the speculation surrounding the price of digital assets. And as a result, increase the value of the stacked coins. Tesla\u2019s $1.5 billion represents at least 8% of the entire company\u2019s reserves.<\/p>\n<p>To some extent, if other giant companies follow suit and invest a percentage of their reserves on Bitcoin; the price will keep surging, bringing us closer to the target of a $2 trillion market capitalization.\u00a0 For example if Microsoft, Apple, Google, Twitter and Facebook did the same , the entire investment would be approximately $7 billion.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"64\" data-end=\"103\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BTC_CBDCs_Institutional_Trends\"><\/span>BTC &amp; CBDCs: Institutional Trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now remember the percentage gain of Bitcoin after Tesla came in. A $7 billion worth signal would be bearish enough to drive BTC above $300,000.<\/p>\n<p>Already, most bullish predictions are targeting $100,000, $250,000 and $500,000. So far, a lot of them are backing their explanation with the idea of institutionalization of BTC. <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinpro.ai\/\">According to Bitcoin Pro,<\/a> institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies will be the key theme of this year\u2019s market cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Besides companies showing interest in cryptocurrencies, Institutional adoption also involves the creation of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and stablecoins. Both Big firms and central banks have gambled with the idea of launching their own stablecoins.\u00a0 A study by BIS indicates over 80 percent of central banks are accessing the possible benefits and risks of building CBDCs.\u00a0 China\u2019s government accelerated their digital renminbi project at the onset of Covid-19 so as to reduce the transmission of the infection through fiat cash transfers.<\/p>\n<p>Governments are tinkering with ideas of digitizing their economies and CBDCs are going to be the roadmap.\u00a0 This will also solve the problems of banking\u00a0 and cross-border remittance in developing nations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Regulation_will_go_Mainstream_in_2021\"><\/span>Regulation will go Mainstream in 2021<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The dramatic growth of the blockchain market is attracting regulatory interests. It seems law makers are intensifying their research on new methods of tightening cryptocurrency regulations.<\/p>\n<p>There is no way regulators will ignore Decentralized Finance given the majority of transactions have already moved from traditional institutions.<\/p>\n<p>If Bitcoin crosses\u00a0 the $100,000 mark ,regulations may limit the percentage each company allocates to cryptocurrencies on its reserves.\u00a0 The restrictions could take the form of how US companies must not purchase back over 25 percent of the average daily volume of their individual stocks. With this kind of rule , it would be hard to hold on to bitcoin (or any other coin ) after it surges in price beyond a certain value.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers might also draft new regulations for brokers who hold\u00a0 digital assets. These regulations will call for custodial oversight of cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Nevertheless, there are those who feel cryptocurrencies must be left unregulated for a duration of time. This perspective plays a crucial role in the ongoing cryptocurrency institutional adoption trends, as some experts believe that minimal regulation will encourage innovation and broader adoption in the space. Besides, it\u2019s difficult to solve all the challenges posed by crypto and other emerging technologies.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bitcoin_Exchange_Traded_Funds\"><\/span>Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cryptocurrency proponents have been anticipating a Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund. This asset will allow mainstream investors to invest and trade in Bitcoin.\u00a0 However, the decision to launch a Bitcoin ETF has delayed and remains unclear. <a href=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/en\/companies\/vaneck-7743\">VanECK<\/a>, a fintech company, has been pushing the SEC repeatedly so that the regulator can approve the fund.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">This delay has become a major factor in current cryptocurrency institutional adoption trends. Many institutional investors are eagerly waiting for clearer regulatory frameworks. A Bitcoin ETF will open the door for the general public to invest in Bitcoin \u2014 especially for those who don\u2019t want to trade crypto directly on exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>The pandemic increased the number of people seeking to trade digital assets without the need of creating wallets and constantly<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcolumnist.com\/guides\/nitrogen-sports-alternatives\/\"> trading on exchanges<\/a>.\u00a0 This led such investors into Contracts for Difference (CFDs). Which have not only rose in popularity over the past months, but also become a means for trading equity markets and forex.Appointment of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/sarahhansen\/2021\/01\/18\/who-is-gary-gensler-bidens-pick-to-run-the-sec\/\">Garry Gensler<\/a> as chief of SEC has renewed interest in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. There is hope the commision is going to approve the asset this year. However, the big question remains whether the market is solid enough to meet listing requirements under the Securities Exchange Act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following 2021\u2019s crypto bull cycle, cryptocurrency institutional adoption trends have gained significant momentum.
