DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Cryptocurrency Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Cryptocurrencies which are designed to use for peer-to-peer transactions without being liable to any government or central bank are the latest financial innovations explored not only for the reasons of their being but also for potential risks and opportunities in the financial industry.

There are thousands of cryptocurrencies with various design goals. These design goals are to provide a digital currency alternative to cash (Bitcoin, Monero and Bitcoin cash), to support payment system at low-cost ( Ripple, Particl and Utility Settlement Coin),to support peer-to-peer trading activity by creating tokens ( RMG and Maecanas), to facilitate secure access to a good or service in peer-to-peer trading (Golem, Filecoin) and to support underlying platform or protocol ( Ether and NEO). These design goals mentioned won't be exhaustive as new cryptocurrencies are being created every week. Blockchain is the underlying technology for most of the cryptocurrencies.

The cryptocurrency market is segmented based on the market capitalization of large number of cryptocurrencies. The cryptocurrencies overlap with key areas of monetary and financial system. Given their rapid growth, complexity, high volatility and potentiality for facilitating illicit activities, regulators and policy makers across the world are bothered about their inclusion into the existing system and revising the existing systems to fit them, if included.

In terms of transaction volumes, bitcoin alone had the highest number of 200,000 average daily transactions.

Adoption of Blockchain Technology Increasing on a Robust Pace
