Elon Musk&#8217;s electric vehicle manufacturer&#13;<br \/>\nTesla temporarily granted selling its cars for bitcoin. Elon Musk is known for&#13;<br \/>\nhis advocacy for new technologies and his interest in blockchain. Popular&#13;<br \/>\nonline payment service PayPal started offering cryptocurrencies to get into&#13;<br \/>\nthis emerging market. Social media platform Twitter recently launched tipping&#13;<br \/>\nin bitcoin for followers to support their influencers financially. It is worth&#13;<br \/>\nkeeping in mind that even Goldman Sachs, which until very recently&#13;<br \/>\nunderestimated bitcoin publicly and showed expert distaste for the opinion that&#13;<br \/>\ncryptocurrency would be a powerful investment, changed its position.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The&#13;<br \/>\ninfluential multinational investment bank, having close ties to the most&#13;<br \/>\npowerful governments in the world, announced in March 2021 a &#8216;full-spectrum&#8217;&#13;<br \/>\ncryptocurrency investment offer, including bitcoin, for its private clients. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although,&#13;<br \/>\nthe narrative from U.S. governmental institutions suggests a different&#13;<br \/>\napproach.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>U.S.&#13;<br \/>\nTreasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she is eager to crush the influence of&#13;<br \/>\ncryptocurrencies by pushing International Monetary Fund (IMF) capacities&#13;<br \/>\nfurther. Many financial experts consider the IMF to be the future issuer of a&#13;<br \/>\nnew worldwide digital currency\u2014centralised, of course.<\/p>\n<p><b>Who are the new kids on&#13;<br \/>\nthe blockchain?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Decentralised&#13;<br \/>\nfinance (DeFi) and so-called &#8216;smart contract&#8217; platforms on blockchain networks&#13;<br \/>\nhave many runner-ups: Ethereum is the most used network and the first of its&#13;<br \/>\nkind. But lack of scalability and high transaction fees give Ethereum&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\ncompetitors a chance to succeed. Polkadot, Cardano, Cosmos, Harmony and others&#13;<br \/>\nhave significant potential to solve these systemic weaknesses. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The&#13;<br \/>\nDeFi marketing slogan for the crypto sphere is about &#8216;helping the masses of&#13;<br \/>\nunbanked people&#8217;, for instance, in Africa, Asia, and South America. It gathers&#13;<br \/>\nsignificant trust in these populations over classical banking institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On&#13;<br \/>\n14 April 2021, Coinbase, the most prevalent cryptocurrency exchange, was&#13;<br \/>\ndirectly listed on the Nasdaq exchange. This move indicates even more mixing of&#13;<br \/>\ncrypto and traditional finances and implies a rising future influx of retail&#13;<br \/>\ninvestors into crypto assets.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>A win-win for Forex<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Regardless&#13;<br \/>\nof the transition&#8217;s nature into this advanced future financial order, Forex&#13;<br \/>\nbrokers need to adapt to this new vibrant parallel development\u2014staying competitive&#13;<br \/>\nand relevant in the long term. The ability to offer the most popular and&#13;<br \/>\ninfluential cryptocurrencies means that a broker keeps significant doors open&#13;<br \/>\nfor new demographics.
