Deutsche Bank’s new report predicts the rise of cryptocurrency in favour of traditional money.
In Brief:
-
The report is entitled Imagine 2030 and looks at how the currency system will change.
-
While currently ‘additions rather than substitutions’, Deutsche Bank says this may change for 2030.
-
It points to the ‘fragility’ of fiat money.
What does this mean?
A demand for alternative currency has been driven in part by a lack of trust in traditional banking, with many preferring a deregulated system. Other factors include speed, security and a low transaction cost.
