The CEO of the BuyUCoin announced „they aim making cryptocurrencies accessible to the masses. The framework is driven by the inputs from crypto experts and industry insiders and guide the startups and budding entrepreneurs to enter in this booming industry.” The results will be expected eagerly by stakeholders.

Hong Kong Monetary Authority

As a big bounce for crypto currency market, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) took its first steps for creating a cross-border central bank digital currency (CBDC) for Hong Kong and Thailand. HKMA examined where and how distributed ledger technology (DLT) might enhance cross-border payments between commercial banks and would like to create the best solutions for being the leader of digital assets in its territory.

Academicians

Also the academicians are working hard to analyse crypto currencies and the overall crypto market. The University of Cambridge examined the digital asset market with an in-depth study for understanding the current growth of the crypto industry, mining, offchain activity, crypto asset user profiling, regulation, and security. It has been seen that the profile of companies is much younger than expected. The growth of the market came from 3-4 year-old companies which represent 49% of whole population. The study also discussed the mining ecosystem and highlighted that mining is steadily reaching an “industrial scale.” The report also shows that Bitcoin (BTC) is the most popular coin with 89% of respondents mining the crypto asset. BTC is followed by ethereum (ETH – 35%) and bitcoin cash (BCH – 30%) respectively.  Moreover, the findings also show that the utility cost for the average miner is roughly 79% of the aggregate operational expenditures. But there are differences that arise at the regional level, the study’s authors note.
