Jobs Platform Shows Promising Data For Crypto In The UK

Retail interest in the crypto market wains as Google searches for Bitcoin BTC/USD has plummeted to lows not seen in over a year. In addition, Crypto Fear and Greed Index is at 27, which is classified as ‘Fear’ levels and further indicates negative sentiment. Historically, low a significantly low interest from retail has created profitable buying opportunities.

Despite retail being fearful and uninterested, institutional adoption continues as the second-largest listed bank in Germany, Commerzbank CRZBY, has now applied for a local crypto license. This would allow it to provide exchange and crypto asset services and become the first major bank in Germany to make this step.

According to recent data released by a jobs platform, London is a world leader in cryptocurrency.
