The experts of financial institutions in the United Kingdom expect the positive dynamics of the cryptocurrency market. According to a survey conducted by Citigate Dewe Rogerson, of the 146 of the professionals surveyed, more than half continued to buy virtual assets. Moreover, most of them believe that within the next 12 months, crypto-currencies will increase in value.
In addition, the survey showed that 56% of respondents plan to purchase more digital currency. 31% are about how to buy new and sell existing assets, and only 8% plan to completely get rid of virtual capital.
At the same time, only 50% expect to increase prices in the long term; 28% say that by 2021, the value of the crypto currency will fall.
“Many cryptocurrencies have demonstrated an unprecedented increase in the value together with extraordinary level of volatility”, — commented the results of the study, Phil Anderson (Phil Anderson), the Executive Director of Citigate Dewe Rogerson. “There cryptomelane, but most investors lost money.
