Bitcoin competing with traditional players
The report highlights the progress made by bitcoin to beat Apple on the trading volume metric. According to the research report:
“Bitcoin’s significant trading volume against Apple shows the digital currency is now competing with established traditional asset classes. As a result, the asset is no longer being sidelined, especially with the influx of institutional investors into the sector.”
