Crypto enjoys trust as an investment: but still less than real estate, stocks or securities

 


Global crypto exchange Bitstamp released its survey called Crypto Pulse on Tuesday, concluding that institutional and retail investors believe cryptocurrencies will overtake traditional forms of investing within a decade. 80 percent of institutional respondents and 54 percent of retail investors answered "yes" to this question.


It was also asked whether cryptocurrencies will become mainstream in the next 10 years. Here, 88 percent of the institutional respondents and 75 percent of the small investors gave "Yes". Overall optimism was expressed by 28,563 respondents from 23 countries, including 5,450 senior institutional investment strategy decision makers and 23,113 retail investors.



Bitstamp CEO Julian Sawyer said in a statement that cryptocurrencies are now receiving most of the mainstream investment. He added:


"Since the pandemic, interest has surged and cryptocurrencies are now a topic in mainstream discussions about global macroeconomic issues. Our survey shows exactly what we've been saying for a long time: the debate over whether digital assets will survive is finally over. The question now is in which direction they will develop."

71 percent of institutional investors and 75 percent of retail investors said they would trust cryptocurrencies as an asset class. However, compared to real estate, stocks and securities, they trust cryptocurrencies less. 67 percent of retail investors said crypto was a trustworthy investment, while 11 percent said crypto was untrustworthy. 60 percent of retail and institutional investors trust DeFi instruments like stablecoins and NFTs.


Bitstamp suggests that any hesitation could be due to the lack of regulation of cryptocurrencies. The company added that trust in cryptocurrencies on a global scale is mainly driven by developing countries and unstable economies where trust in the traditional financial system is low. In the United States, President Joe Biden signed an executive order in March providing a regulatory framework for digital assets .


Recently, Bitstamp tightened its compliance requirements and now asks its users for more data, including nationality, place of birth, tax residency, and source of wealth.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
