Mainstream Financial Giants Are Building a Compliant Crypto Ecosystem
The biggest hurdle for mainstream crypto adoption is regulatory compliance, but mainstream financial giants, be it in Europe, Britain, or the US are working to clear the hurdle. Earlier today, the world’s largest interdealer broker TP ICP announced it would be launching an institutional crypto trading platform in association with Fidelity and Standard Chartered.
The crypto market cap has reduced by half over the past couple of months, but that hasn’t deterred institutional investors and financial giants from betting big on the crypto ecosystem. It indicates that these financial leaders see a ton of investment potential in cryptocurrencies.
