Coinbase башкы директору он жылда 1 миллиард криптовалюта колдонуучуларын болжолдойт

Brian Armstrong – CEO and Co-Founder of Coinbase – predicted a substantial increase in the number of individuals involved in the crypto universe in the next 10-20 years. In fact, he believes that the one billion mark is not out of the question.

5 Times Increase in 10-20 Years

Despite the rather grim condition of the crypto market since the start of 2022, Armstong remains bullish on its future development. At a recent conference, he болжолдонгон that within a decade, one billion people will have jumped into the digital asset ecosystem:

"Менин оюмча, 10-20 жылдан кийин биз крипто экономикасында ИДПнын олуттуу бөлүгүн көрөбүз."

Considering the growth of new crypto users over the past year, Armstrong’s prediction sounds logical. During the first six months of 2021, the number of people involved in the market more than эки эсе, reaching over 220 million individuals.

It is worth noting, though, that during this time frame, the prices of bitcoin and most altcoins were charting all-time highs quite frequently. For one, the primary cryptocurrency surpassed $60,000 in April 2021, which is more than 50% higher than its current USD valuation.

Speaking at the conference was also Ark Invest’s CEO – Cathie Wood. She argued that monetary firms could lose their qualified employees if they do not embrace the DeFi sector:

"DeFi жана кийинки муундагы интернетке келсек, биз көптөгөн каржы компанияларынын крипто үчүн талантын жоготуп жатканын көрүп жатабыз. Андыктан алар муну олуттуу кабыл алышы керек, антпесе, алар ойрон болуп калышат».

Speaking of Brian Armstrong, it is worth mentioning the progress of his crypto exchange – Coinbase – in the past several months.

Март айында компания жарыялады that the launch of its NFT marketplace will happen “soon.” Despite not revealing an exact date, over 2.5 million Coinbase users joined the waiting list.
