Aite Reports Crypto Trading Will Hit and Breach $1Tr in 2018
Traders Magazine Online News, July 23, 2018
Crypto traing has entered the stratosphere.
Aite Group, in its latest report, "The Cryptocurrencies Market Landscape: A New Frontier," wrote that forecasts the total trading value of cryptocurrencies to be just over US$1 trillion in 2018.
Bitcoin has failed to gain much attention and adoption for its original purpose, which is to serve as a digital cash payment system replacing the fiat currency payment system. But both trading volume and market cap of bitcoin have grown dramatically over the past few years and have led to an entirely new market of tradable instruments, which are collectively known as cryptocurrencies. With rapid price appreciation and an increase in total market cap, cryptocurrencies have quickly emerged into a new asset class that nobody can afford to ignore.
This report examines the landscape of the emerging cryptocurrencies market, details the trading mechanisms of cryptocurrencies on exchange and OTC venues, and identifies this market’s challenges and opportunities. It is based on qualitative interviews conducted from February to May 2018 with six executives from cryptocurrency exchange venues, cryptocurrency OTC trading firms and wallet service providers in the U.S., and one key individual heading up cryptocurrency investment products at a global asset management firm.
