The Future of Cryptocurrency

The recent crash of the cryptocurrency industry has been a tremendous letdown. Predictions and advice about the future of the industry are being published daily. The conclusion that seems universal is the need for increased regulation for everyone’s safety. The industry had gotten quite overconfident in recent times. The crash has been a wake-up call for many about the future of the industry. In this article, we explore the future of cryptocurrency.

With the possibility of rising inflation, traders and investors are keen to rid their portfolios of assets considered risky. Cryptocurrency has been hit hard by this trend. In 2022 bitcoin has fallen to less than half of its value. It is currently trading at its lowest since 2020. Ethereum, also another well-known cryptocurrency, has decreased in value by approximately 68% this year.

Bitcoin rose to an unprecedented high of about  $2 trillion in cryptocurrency value in November. Approximately 66% of that has disappeared. Bitcoin has plummeted to $21,206. At its highest, it was $67,802.30. The cryptocurrency industry faces ups and downs like any other. The low periods are known as “winters” by many. This crash, however, has had a more severe impact than the others. It will have a major impact on the industry’s products and companies. 

Cryptocurrency Future Predictions

It is difficult for anyone to say what will be the future outcome of cryptocurrency. It seems that regulations will certainly have to be implemented. This is predicted to make the future of cryptocurrency look much brighter. Experts have predicted that bitcoin will reach $100,000. Fluctuation is predicted in the short term, while growth is expected in the long term. 

The truth of the matter certainly seems to be that no one can predict exactly what the future of cryptocurrency will be. All investments, therefore, have an element of uncertainty and speculation.  There is not much history to base decisions on. It is advisable to only invest an amount that you are prepared to lose.
