The 2021 Global Blockchain Survey, conducted by multinational accounting firm, Deloitte, has revealed that 76 percent of people believe that crypto will be a strong alternative for, or outright replace, fiat money within the next decade.
Deloitte surveyed more than 1,280 finance professionals from Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The surveys were conducted between March 24 and April 10, at the height of the recent surge in the crypto market.
Mainstream Adoption
81% of finance professionals surveyed agreed that the technology is “broadly scalable and has achieved mainstream adoption.” This was certainly reflected in the Chainalysis report last week that highlighted a meteoric 880 percent rise in crypto adoption in the past year. According to yet another survey, conducted by Fidelity Digital Assets last month, 70 percent of institutional investors have plans to buy crypto in the near term.
Obstacles To Global Acceptance And Use
But it’s not all rainbows and lollipops. Many finance professionals also highlighted a number of major obstacles that need to be overcome before there is global acceptance and use of digital assets. 71 percent had concerns about the cybersecurity of digital assets; 63 percent were worried about regulatory barriers; 62 percent raised concerns about financial infrastructure; and 59 percent were worried about the privacy of digital assets.
