Dublin, June 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Cryptocurrencies: Governments and Banks Catch Up to the Adoption Curve" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
While cryptocurrencies previously stood at the fringe of the payments space, in 2021, institutional interest has increased as governments and banks have invested in the space. The U.S. regulatory agencies have acted as key drivers by creating roadmaps and guidance for companies wanting to get involved with new or existing crypto projects.
Meanwhile, certain banking institutions built infrastructure to enable clients to utilize their cryptocurrencies through traditional financial practices, such as providing custodial services, enabling money transfers, and creating lending products. Globally, countries incorporate cryptocurrencies to different extents. Although many countries lag in adoption, the current trajectory of the market is favorable.
The publisher believes that payment processors and fintechs should explore ways to incorporate cryptocurrency and blockchain solutions into their current models to remain competitive. This report examines the current regulatory and financial developments in the cryptocurrency space and highlights trends and strategies companies use to harness this growth.
