? 1) "picks and axes" and miners
During the gold rush, the really rich were those who sold picks and axes. In other words, these companies provide speculators with tools to go out and find wealth. In the field of cryptocurrency, this refers to companies that produce chips and hardware for mining operations. Include many semiconductor companies.
And the miners themselves. Miners confirm the transaction between nodes by solving the encryption problem, and then get the reward of cryptocurrency. We have seen listed companies "mine" cryptocurrencies. These companies mine tokens, then immediately sell them on the open market and transfer the proceeds to shareholders. Think of them as pipeline companies in the energy industry. These companies are small at present, but they may become bigger in the future.
2) Cloud infrastructure
No industry relies on cloud technology like blockchain. Without centralized ownership or supervision of trading institutions, it is necessary to distribute the general ledger on a global scale, which makes full use of the advantages of the cloud. However, the cloud still faces risks here, because blockchain technology can distribute storage around the world, thus countering the centralized nature of traditional cloud services. Nevertheless, the industry can still adjust its technology to benefit from it.
3) Payment processing and loan
Payment processing is one of the most subversive industries in blockchain. Different from traditional financial intermediaries, blockchain technology supports distributed, open and public ledgers. In this ledger, transactions are confirmed by other nodes in the chain, and the fees charged are much lower than those charged by traditional processors.
Blockchain technology is also very suitable for lending. No matter how big the lender is, it can spread the risk to thousands of loans in an instant. We are just the tip of the iceberg on this stage.
4) Investment companies, business development companies and consulting companies
There will be a group of companies looking for ways to integrate blockchain technology into their existing businesses. Large consulting companies have begun to provide services to help enterprises integrate new technologies. Gartner even developed a website for this purpose.
Some listed companies are acting as incubators for other emerging cryptocurrencies. At present, there are more than 1600 cryptocurrencies in the world. Before cryptocurrency technology became mainstream, these investors and business development companies invested in promising cryptocurrency technology companies.
5) Futures and ETFs (exchange traded funds)
With the futures contracts of two large exchanges in the United States starting to trade, the process of legalization of Bitcoin continues. Soon, Bitcoin and ETFs of Ethereum will also be formally regulated. At the same time, investors have been using GBTC as an agent. As mentioned above, Goldman Sachs will soon open its trading department, further proving the legitimacy of cryptocurrency as an asset class.
conclusion
There is no doubt that the blockchain will have a huge impact on almost all industries you can think of. In fact, experts predict that by 2024, the value of this field will soar by 8500% to reach 60 billion US dollars.
