Bitcoin

The growing demand for digital currencies globally has amazed finance experts; Chainalysis noted in its recent report that India has the highest crypto adoption worldwide.&nbsp;
In its recent report, MatrixPort noted that around 7.51 percent of the global population now uses digital currencies. Further, the number is expected to reach 8 percent by 2025, reflecting an eroding interest in enthusiasts towards the traditional currency.
Matrixport terms institutional involvement in cryptocurrencies as one of the primary reasons behind the surged adoption.&nbsp;
The report quotes, “As seen with the rise of personal computers, smartphones, social media platforms, and electric vehicles, surpassing the 8 percent mark often accelerates adoption, driven by network effects, increased viability, and reduced costs”.
Market observers argue that giants like BlackRock, Grayscale, Fidelity, VanEck, WisdomTree, and Valkyrie have also shaped a brighter future for the crypto market by offering their crypto products, which have lured millions of new users.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
It is worth noting that Bitcoin is the most adopted among all cryptocurrencies, followed by Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano.&nbsp; Institutions Holding Significant Bitcoin&nbsp;
