After a bull market in 2021 and a steep bear market in 2022\, the recovery in 2023 and 2024 is expected to be followed by another bull market in 2025. More rece ntly\, financial institutions and asset managers have developed new invest ment products (ETFs\, ...)\, payment service providers are adding cryptocu rrencies to their payment platforms\, and multinational groups are allocat ing cash to digital assets as a hedge against inflation and considering cr yptocurrencies in their treasury function. Governments and regulators arou nd the world are looking closely at cryptocurrencies with a view to introd ucing regulation and\, in some cases\, adopting cryptocurrencies as legal tender. The recent announcement of a change at the top of the SEC (i.e. th e US regulator) is seen as a positive sign\, given the SEC's history of le gal challenges of the crypto industry.
