In the last decade alone, cryptocurrency has proven to be one of the best and most profitable investment opportunities, overtaking stocks and commodities, oil, and even gold. Throughout 2021, the buzz around bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies didn't die away. Many new investors tried their hand at cryptocurrency trading with the hope to reap big benefits. For some, it was profitable, and others just have to wait for a longer time. Despite staying unaffected during the Covid-19 pandemic, digital tokens had a different enemy. The high consumption of energy during bitcoin mining, Elon Musk's sudden rejection of bitcoin payment, China's crackdown on mining operations, and strict regulations imposed by the US treasury have affected bitcoin's price, which eventually hit other cryptocurrencies. But the future cryptocurrency predictions suggest a moderate price awaiting us. Cryptocurrency in 2022 will experience massive growth with bitcoin, ethereum, Tether, and Cardano leading the wave. Top cryptocurrency trends also anticipate a promising growth potential in 2022. Analytics Insight has listed top cryptocurrency trends and predictions for 2022 that will drive the next-generation growth.
Initially, crypto investors didn't mind the immature flaws and risks that the cryptocurrency market has positioned in front of them. They took it as a hurdle and got over the slumps every time. But the next generation investors are less tolerant towards such unprecedented trends. Therefore, the digital currency sphere will try to bring bitcoin up to the mature 'gold-standard criteria over traditional investments.
The cryptocurrency market as a whole will work to address the environmental concerns of cryptocurrency mining. The factor that bitcoin mining and its energy consumption have made an unbearable mark on the digital token's price will remain in investors' hearts. Therefore, the future generation will work to loo for disruptive ways to reduce the carbon footprint on bitcoin mining.
As cryptocurrencies are expected to becoming even more popular in 2022, it's an excellent opportunity for crypto brokers to expand their services and leverage great features to attract more traders. Especially, crypto brokers who provide exclusive options on bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum, Cardano, and dogecoin will see more crypto traders choosing their platform over others.
Governments across the globe condemn cryptocurrencies for their decentralized nature. With no central authority and governance, world leaders fear the misuse of digital tokens for unlawful purposes. Fortunately, governments are planning to impose regulative measures in the coming year. Therefore, illegal use of bitcoin can be tracked and caught by anti-money laundering programs.
Since bitcoin's launch in 2009, many global schools and universities have been showing big interest to accept bitcoin payments. However, today, only a handful of them are practically doing it. Fortunately, this trend is anticipated to grow in 2022 with more universities and schools accepting bitcoin payments and bitcoin donations. They will ease the burden on international students who struggle to exchange their fiat currency.
Already, ethereum is outperforming bitcoin in some aspects. Crypto experts predict that in the coming years, ethereum will surely take over the market capitalization and adoption rate of bitcoin. Therefore, 2022 is expected to lay a strong foundation stone for that future. Ethereum's extra features like smart contracts and easy-to-use payments methods will further accelerate its adoption. It is one of the few coins that have great potential on blockchain, mining, and technology.
2021 saw big names like Amazon considering bitcoin payments for product purchases. This will further intensify in 2022. Already, many tech organizations and futuristic companies are paying employees with bitcoin. The future will open door to more commercial companies accepting bitcoin payments even for small transactions and purchases.
Currently, people are so driven by the bitcoin wave. We have a clouded perception that top cryptocurrencies could yield big profits just by investing in them. But very little is being talked about their volatility. People who take volatility seriously will change their investment options and choose stablecoins over mainstream digital tokens. Stablecoins like Tether are anticipated to steal the market in 2021.
