The Future of Banking with Cryptocurrency

Banks are traditionally opposed to cryptocurrency, due to the latter’s ability to replace them thanks to a P2P system that does not require intermediaries. However, we can see that cryptocurrency is steadily becoming a more significant force in traditional sectors investments in banks, such as Bankera’s purchase of Pacific Private Bank. These shifts are forcing a change in paradigms long held by the financial sector. Banks still play a pivotal role in the symbiotic relationship between the world’s population and currency, but pockets of cryptocurrency enthusiasts are bent on changing this.
