The blistering pace of innovation in digital assets has taken the financial world by storm in recent years, punctuated by the rapid growth of cryptocurrency markets, which stood at $1.35 trillion as of July 14, 2021. As this ecosystem continues to evolve, we dive into the role that cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and central bank digital currencies can play in disrupting the legacy financial infrastructure.
