After the crypto market crash of 2022, skeptics predicted the end of digital assets. However, by 2025, the situation has changed dramatically with major financial institutions actively incorporating cryptocurrency and blockchain into the global economy.
Growth of Institutional Investments
BlackRock emerged as a leader in crypto investments with its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), becoming the fastest-growing ETF in history. BlackRock’s bitcoin holdings grew to 573,136 BTC by March 2025. Fidelity and MicroStrategy also increased their crypto assets. JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank expanded their cryptocurrency custody services for institutional clients.
Crypto Exchanges on the Rise
Institutional interest has led top crypto exchanges to achieve a record trading volume of $6.45 trillion in Q4 2024. The average Bitcoin deposit increased from 0.36 BTC in 2023 to 1.65 BTC in 2024. Progressive regulations such as the EU’s MiCA have fostered increased trust in cryptocurrency from institutional investors.
Integration of Decentralized and Centralized Systems
GRVT is redefining asset exchange by offering the world's first fully licensed decentralized exchange. The platform uses a hybrid model to ensure security and efficiency by combining decentralized and centralized systems. GRVT’s model supports up to 600,000 transactions per second, and users maintain control over their assets.
The future of finance is not about replacing traditional systems with crypto technology but integrating their strengths. Platforms like GRVT will play a pivotal role in this evolution.
