This last year in cryptocurrency has clearly shown the connection between the traditional finance world and the new blockchain-based era. Providing services in the crypto space doesn’t automatically mean that your services will align with the blockchain concept.
Many companies working with cryptocurrencies are entirely centralized. The bear market and persistent liquidity issues surprised customers and investors this year.
Participants lost billions in digital assets. Companies and regulators faced no liability, leaving participants feeling frustrated and overwhelmed.
The decentralization of blockchain prevents these circumstances and allows customers to regain control over their assets without compromise.
