Chapter 8:

Outlook

As crypto continues to evolve, one big question remains: is crypto here to stay, or will governments shut it down?

Crypto and fiat currencies

Crypto-assets challenge the monopoly of traditional currencies, offering an alternative to government-issued money. A large-scale adoption of crypto-currencies could dilute the impact of monetary policies. Nonetheless, some nations like El Salvador and the Central African Republic have adopted Bitcoin as legal tender, making it an official form of payment. While this doesn’t make Bitcoin legal tender, it does go hand in hand with the financialization of the crypto-asset ecosystem.

Integration of Bitcoin in larger financial markets is the reason why central banks around the world are keeping an eye on the evolution of this emerging asset class.

Gaining Notoriety

Despite market crashes, regulations, and scepticism, crypto continues to thrive.

Bitcoin’s value keeps reaching new heights.
Banks – just like tech giants – are now heavily investing in blockchain technologies
Crypto has even made its way into political agendas, becoming a topic of debate and influence, with figures like Trump pledging to make the US “the crypto capital of the planet”.

Some governments, like China and Saudi Arabia, have banned cryptocurrencies altogether, while others have chosen to regulate them in an effort to prevent fraud and tax evasion.
