2017 was an outstanding year for cryptocurrencies, which grew at an exponential rate.

It’s estimated that the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies grew from about $17.74 billion in January to reach over $512 billion in early December.

The significant growth of the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology market is expected to continue to rise in the months and years ago. One estimate shows a compound annual growth rate of 35.2 percent during the forecast period of 2016–2022, aggregating $42.16 billion by 2022. Another estimate expects the market to grow to $51 billion by 2023.

A LOOK AHEAD

By 2025, total market capitalization could exceed $5 trillion, as crypto wallet penetration is expected to exceed five percent of the world’s population and asset-backed cryptocurrencies give rise to trading asset tokens.

A handful of major mainstream financial institutions have invested in the cryptocurrency trade — including Goldman Sachs, NASDAQ, and the NYSE — the Chicago Board of Exchange debuted Bitcoin futures in December, which may serve to attract additional mainstream investors. However, recent surges in cryptocurrency prices and in market growth can largely be attributed to consumers’ increasing interest in trading cryptocurrencies. Other growth drivers include consumer desire for democratization of investing and the option to save outside of the traditional banking structure, as well as increased personal purchasing power.

Technology remains vital to market growth, as computational power continues to increase and an estimated 67 percent of the global population will own smartphones by 2019.

Even with the increasingly challenging barriers and regulatory changes, cryptocurrency is here to stay. As its popularity and visibility increase, average income earners are becoming interested in investing. However, high prices and the unpredictability of the market can deter potential investors from entering the constantly fluctuating cryptocurrency trade.
