According to TechFlow, on October 7, Matrixport's latest report showed that 7.51% of the world's population already uses digital currency, and it is expected to exceed 8% in 2025. Cryptocurrency may shift from a niche market to the mainstream financial system.
The report points out that increased institutional participation is one of the key factors in the steady growth of cryptocurrencies. Financial companies such as BlackRock have played a key role in building trust and legitimacy for digital assets in the traditional financial system.
Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, said that every time the financial market introduces a new layer of Bitcoin access, it drives prices up. He predicted that options products based on Bitcoin spot ETFs could trigger a new wave of institutional investment.
