How cryptocurrencies have disrupted the market

The financial crises of 2008 caused the development of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ripple etc. The crises proved that even banks are not trustworthy and can go to every extent to exploit public’s money. Moving on, the cryptocurrencies are based on Blockchain which mainly works as a ledger. Each transaction is called a block which is saved with other transactions using cryptography and encoding. The transactions are secure and valid; plus, there is no threat of any sort of fraud. The crypto token holder is provided with a virtual wallet which links to another wallet while doing a transaction.

The cryptocurrencies have been disrupting most of the markets - Mainly, financial markets. They were once perceived as the players of dark web. However, with the passage of time, people recognized their significance and began praising them. Basically, the cryptocurrency took off when last year Bitcoin’s prices rose up dramatically. Today, everyone in SMEs and MNCs are gossiping about the cryptocurrencies, while acknowledging the fact that they are going to be the future of financial transactions.

Primarily, the cryptocurrencies aim to eliminate the third party from each transaction, and that is what scares the traditional banks. If the decentralization were to occur, the banking sector would be in trouble, and for that it has been trying its best to eliminate the presence of virtual currencies. So far, they have been quite successful in most of the countries. However, since the awareness programs about the Blockchain technology have been launched, people have come to know how beneficial it is. As a result, people have started to trust the technology and have been investing their money in crypto tokens.

The use of cryptocurrencies has also been prevalent in the conventional market. The businesses rooting from the technology have been using crypto currencies as a primary means of transaction. Still, the financial markets look more stable to profit from the cryptocurrencies. What is more, if we study the capital market consumption, it is likely to be around $400 M by 2020. With that being said, there have also been a dramatic increase of subscribers in Crypto related YouTube channels. Most of the educational programs have been launched to teach people about cryptocurrencies, and surprisingly the sessions have been going house-full, while the experts making money off their crypto knowledge.

Ultimately, the investors have been putting their virtual assets in companies that open ICOs globally. It is expected that most of the MNCs will soon prefer ICOs over IPOs because the latter offers the painless investment procedure. Subsequently, there is a company called ICObench which records all the companies that internationally open ICOs. ICObench verifies the matter and reveals that crypto tokens have disrupted the financial markets.

Therefore, the investors believe that if the Bitcoin’s price can skyrocket in several weeks to thousands of dollars then why not the same could happen with the other crypto tokens. This shows that the optimism is still prevalent among the crypto investors. They believe the time is near when crypto tokens will take off again and crypto investments will be considered as primary investments over traditional investments.
