Digital currency Market Segment Insights:
Bitcoin segment to expand at a high CAGR
In the terms of types, the digital currency market is classified as bitcoin, cryptocurrency, bitcoin cash, litecoin, ethereum, and dogecoin. The bitcoin segment held a dominant share of the market in 2020, and this trend is projected to continue in the coming years. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that can be transferred from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the use of middlemen. It does not need any central bank or a single administrator. The popularity of bitcoins is fueled by the rising demand for trade, compliance-free remittance, and convenience of cross-border transactions.
Mining segment held substantial market share in 2020
Based on processes, the market is segregated into mining and transaction. Mining is a crucial component in the formation, transmission, and confirmation of digital currencies. It guarantees that the currency is propagated from a payment to a recipient in a stable, secure, and safe manner. Unlike fiat currency, which is controlled and regulated by a centralized body, crypto currencies are decentralized and operate on a peer-to-peer basis.
Hardware segment to hold significant market share
On the basis of offerings, the digital currency market is fragmented into hardware, ASIC, GPU, FPGA, software, and others. The concept of bitcoin is predicated on the decentralization of transaction monitoring. Miners (usually users) validate transactions performed by other users as a part of the transaction monitoring process. The system requires processing resources to validate the transactions in this procedure. The validation procedure requires the generation of hash codes to encrypt the transactions. The miner requires extremely effective and efficient hardware to create a hash code.
Bank segment to hold significant market share
On the basis of end-user, the market is categorized as IT solution, fintech, bank, consulting, exchange, and others. The banking segment held a dominant share of the market in 2020 and this trend is estimated to continue in the coming years. Digital currency transfers and other online transactions that transfer money between parties across long distances are common, due to increasing number of banks and other financial service providers. Nowadays, people do not physically go to the banks or carry cash due to the adoption of digital currency.
North America dominates the global market
In terms of regions, the global digital currency market can be split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America constituted a significant share of the market in 2020 due to rising technical developments and growing acceptance of digital currencies by consumers and merchants. North America continues to lead the global digital currency market due to the presence of large companies in the region.
