Nowadays, most of the companies are spending a huge amount of money on blockchain initiatives, also, the amount and trend are continuously increasing. According to a survey conducted by PwC, just only in 2019, the demand related to blockchain services is expected to be around $1.7 billion and by 2022, it could reach to around $12 billion! These surveys clearly exhibit the pace at which the blockchain is going to accelerate in the coming year.
The rise of Ripple as newly trusted cryptocurrency:
Ripple and its XRP token have been emerging as the most trusted cryptocurrency at a very fast pace. Due to its ‘low-risk high reward’, it is on its way to becoming the new bitcoin in the future.

Various kind of cryptocurrency investment platform for institutional money is already present in the market whereas a huge number of such platforms are under development with additional features. Institutions seem to be more interested in cryptocurrencies rather than the retailers. However, they were not having a sufficient amount of efficient investments platforms to perform. The existing tools were not so much good to meet their security expectations. While 2019 has already given birth to a lot of such platforms, the share of institutional money in the crypto industry is surely going to a huge. The no. of transactions in the crypto market is increasing considerably. The capable software developers are providing easier and secure platforms for these transactions.

These points ensure that those days are gone when you expect bitcoin to be 10x profitable. However, still in 2019, bitcoin will remain the leading cryptocurrency. It will still hold the majority of investors participating in the crypto market.
