In the midst of a growing institutional demand, cryptocurrencies have been the boom in the financial market on a global scale, where until now their value has doubled to exceed 2 trillion dollars.

Among the 6,600 coins tracked by CoinGecko, the popular bitcoin coin is the one that has generated the greatest impact, in addition to others that cover the market such as ethereum, binance coin, polkadot, tether and cardano, which present a combined value around the 422,000 million.

In a world where interests manage a value close to zero, institutional investors take cryptocurrencies as an alternative to increase cash yields. For this reason digital currencies have become the most valued sector.

Indeed, large North American companies have opted for crypto as a stable financial market for the future.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) recently invested $ 1 billion of its reserves in bitcoin and began accepting it as payment for cars. Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) is allowing some of its wealthiest clients to add the token to their portfolios, while companies from Mastercard (NYSE: MA) to PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) have taken steps to adopt bitcoin.

Ethereum is considered the number one platform to develop the blockchain project, which has had to face periods of slowdown that have prevented a more volatile expansion.

However, the demand of this crypto has increased so far this year, managing to face strong competitors, such as: Tron, Polkadot, Cardano, Cosmos and Tezos, and even so it continues to be the main one in this area.

During 2020, more than $ 1 trillion worth of transactions were recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. These figures exceed the transaction volume of payment giants such as PayPal, which is used by more than 350 million users and has average volumes that typically do not exceed $ 200 billion per quarter.

In any of the scenarios, interest in cryptocurrency continues to increase, as the increase in active wallets, the number of transactions on the network, and the average size of transactions increase.

Despite the leadership that has marked the popular digital asset, bitcoin, Ethereum’s share remains strong in the decentralized finance sector and has become more evident in DeFi’s loan and staking projects which continue to grow and attract new investments.
