The crypto world is always in a state of dynamic flux and is evolving and changing all the time. The year 2021 has been a sea-saw of fortunes for the cryptocurrency segment. The cryptocurrency and its Blockchain-based technology are finding wider acceptance, and the spinoffs for other sectors are also immense.

While some states like Turkey, China, Bangladesh, and Iraq have placed a complete ban on the cryptocurrency trade, other nations that, though not happy with the burgeoning Cryptocurrency trade, have advocated some form of control. However, Crypto’s decentralized structure appeals to it the most and is also a panacea for the ills present in the current financial regimens.
