The cryptocurrency market continues to perform well in the first trading days of October 2021, Bitcoin has stabilized above $45000 support, and this situation also supports the price of other cryptocurrencies. According to the September edition of CryptoCompare’s Digital Asset Management Review, institutional investors’ interest in cryptocurrencies is increasing, while Allied Market Research recently reported that the global cryptocurrency market would hit $4.94 billion by 2030.
Another positive information is that crypto-analysis firm Chainanalysis reported that global crypto adoption among retail investors had soared more than 800% since the beginning of the year: led by India, Pakistan, and Ukraine.

On the other side, International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned on Friday that cryptocurrencies pose new challenges to financial stability. The extreme rise in market capitalization is largely attributed to increased investor interest in the crypto industry and IMF requires urgent cross-border cooperation to avert regulatory risks.
