The Key Challenge of the Digital Market
Researchers identify the main issue in the digital market as its vulnerability to manipulation and asset volatility.
Large corporations and financial conglomerates, as major cryptocurrency holders, wield substantial influence over asset values, often resulting in substantial profits. Consequently, traditional investors, who prioritize stability and low risk, remain cautious about including cryptocurrencies in their financial portfolios.
Indeed, the initial indications of the bullish rally that we are witnessing today may be pointing toward the accuracy of the researchers' predictions.
