Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Go Mainstream

Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology have become increasingly intertwined with mainstream financial life.

The value of Bitcoin has been influenced by its adoption in regulated exchanges and retirement accounts, while Ethereum's settlement of smart contracts has reached billions of dollars per day.

Stablecoins are being governed by rules set by governments, and central banks are studying the underlying technology to redesign their own currencies.

The technology behind blockchain is neutral and can be adapted for various purposes, including tracking digital art ownership, shipping, and supply chains.
