The worldwide cryptocurrency market is significantly impacted by the growing number of users of cryptocurrencies. The total number of cryptocurrency users worldwide hit 106 Mn in January 2021, according to crypto.com (a supplier of crypto exchanges). The increase in bitcoin exchange service providers, the adoption of DeFi, and the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies by financial institutions worldwide are all factors contributing to the rise in cryptocurrency users.
For instance, in March 2021, Morgan Stanley, an American investment bank, started to offer access to bitcoin funds to its wealth management clients. This enabled the company to improve its offerings. A significant amount of funds that are being raised by various venture capital firms in the market are expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities.

Amid the pandemic, even the banks started investing in crypto exchange platforms for the first time. Banks started creating their own systems (blockchain-based) in order to enable B2B cryptocurrency payments.

The prior opposition to Bitcoin, inflation, widespread acceptance as a form of payment, and institutional investments, among other factors, are all responsible for the segment's rise.
