The Bitcoin market falls, rises and falls again. The cryptocurrency is currently trading at $5,098. If you think that it is too late to invest in Bitcoin or any other type of cryptocurrency, then it is not so. There is still time, given the following reasons.
Firstly, money from institutional investors has not yet entered the cryptocurrency market.
Due to the lack of stable regulation, large companies were afraid to enter this market. Because it was unclear what regulators would ultimately decide to consider cryptocurrency as money, a commodity or securities. After all, this decision determines what laws will apply to this asset and how profitable it will be for companies to deal with the digital market. Until this time, the main investors in cryptocurrencies were financial traders, enthusiasts and a few large capitalists.
However, the capital of institutional investors is very significant and if it gets into the cryptocurrency market, it will raise prices again and take the market to a new level. The movement in this direction has already begun; the company Morgan Stanley and other similar companies have entered the market. Many are expected to follow.
Secondly, cryptocurrency still has a small market capitalization.
When cryptocurrency was invented, the idea was that it would become a new form of money. The industry has come a long way since then. Its current market capitalization is less than $200 billion. This is actually quite low compared to the currency valuations of companies like Amazon and Apple. Meanwhile, if cryptocurrency does achieve its goal of becoming a form of money, it will be used by most of the world.
Third, cryptocurrency is still in its developmental stage.
This is still a young industry. Blockchain technology has turned out to have many uses, and therefore developers are constantly working to optimize its functions. For example, Ethereum solves the problem of scaling, and Bitcoin is trying to make the Lightning network better cope with large transaction loads.
We can say that the current market capitalization of the crypto market reflects the current state of crypto projects. Currently, only 36 of the top 100 cryptocurrencies have working products, indicating that the industry is still developing and will not stand still.
It is worth noting that we are not financial advisors, and this is not financial advice. Investing in cryptocurrency is very risky.. Invest only based on your own research and invest money you can afford to lose.
