Cryptocurrencies, which are designed to be used for peer-to-peer transactions without being liable to any government or a central bank, are the latest financial innovations, explored not only for the reasons of their existence but also for potential risks and opportunities in the financial industry. There are thousands of cryptocurrencies with various design goals. These design goals are to provide a digital currency alternative to cash (Bitcoin, Monero, and Bitcoin Cash), to support a payment system at low cost (Ripple, Particl, and Utility Settlement Coin), to support peer-to-peer trading activity by creating tokens (RMG and Maecenas), to facilitate secure access to a good or service in peer-to-peer trading (Golem, Filecoin), and to support an underlying platform or protocol (Ether and NEO). Because new cryptocurrencies are created every week, these design goals will not be exhaustive.Blockchain is the underlying technology for most cryptocurrencies.
The cryptocurrency market is segmented based on the market capitalization of a large number of cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies overlap with key areas of the monetary and financial systems. Given their rapid growth, complexity, high volatility, and potentiality for facilitating illicit activities, regulators and policymakers across the world are concerned about their inclusion into the existing system and revising the existing system to fit them if they are included.

A brief on the Volatility in the Market Capitalization of Cryptocurrencies
With the evolving nature of this market with new cryptocurrencies created every week, it is difficult to know how big the cryptocurrency market is. A wide scope of market exchanges for cryptocurrency trading, spread across the globe because of their privacy protection features as well as rapid growth, extreme price volatility, and market illiquidity add to the complexity of the cryptocurrency market. The market capitalization of cryptocurrencies over the years shows how high the price volatility of the market is.
The estimated cryptocurrency market capitalization, for example, during January 2022, varied between 400 billion USD and 800 billion USD which was 566 billion USD at the beginning of the year 2022 and finally settled at 128 billion USD by the end of the year 2022. In terms of transaction volumes, bitcoin alone had the highest number of 200,000 average daily transactions.
Adoption of Blockchain Technology Increasing on a Robust Pace
Enterprise adoption of blockchain technology has quietly reached a tipping point across multiple use cases. Companies that have recognized value from their initial pilot projects are now moving towards turning these projects into production. In particular, there is still a lot of uncertainty about how this technology will be regulated and run, but it is being used more and more in financial services, identity, trade, and other markets.
Global blockchain spending will be led by the banking industry, followed by discrete manufacturing and process manufacturing, with a combined market share of about 50% of overall spending. In the banking industry, the spending will be driven by two of the largest use cases: cross-border payments and settlements and trade finance and post-trade settlements.
Spending on blockchain solutions will be highest in the United States, followed by Western Europe and China. All the regions shown in the infographics are expected to see phenomenal growth in the coming years.
