Digital asset bank Sygnum recently conducted a survey to assess the impact of blockchain technology in comparison to crypto assets.
According to the results, a substantial 81% of respondents believe that crypto assets are crucial for the future of global finance.
This survey underscores a significant shift in perceptions toward cryptocurrencies. Historically, the banking industry has approached digital assets with skepticism — primarily due to concerns about their volatility, regulatory ambiguity and the threat they pose to traditional finance.
The survey also notes a nuanced preference for blockchain technology. See below.
