Bitcoin Price Steady Amidst Global Stock Market Sell-off

NEW YORK, October 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The price of bitcoin held steady in recent weeks despite the global stock market sell-off. According to data from Coinmarketcap, the price of bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, was trading at around USD 6,318.98 during Monday's trading session. The total market cap of all 2070 cryptocurrencies was about USD 202 Billion. Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency have been increasingly adopted by the financial industry in recent times. And, according to a research report from IBM, a wholesale central bank digital currency may lead to significant improvements in efficiency, speed, resilience and lower the cost with existing payments systems.

According to Nigel Green, the Founder and Chief Executive at DeVere Group, the crypto market is likely to expand by at least 5000% in the next 10 years. Nigel Green said: "Bitcoin is what kickstarted the crypto revolution and it has changed the way the world handles money, makes transactions, does business, and manages assets, amongst other things, forever.  It all began with Bitcoin… However, whilst I don't wish to rain on anyone's parade, I believe that Bitcoin's influence and dominance of the cryptocurrency sector will drastically reduce in its second decade…The pace of mass adoption will speed-up and the cryptocurrency market cap can reasonably be assumed to reach at least 5000 per cent above its current valuation over the next decade."
