The cryptocurrency sector has exhibited exponential growth with a high intensity in the last year,​​“The financial sector is completely redefining itself. We believe​​that today’s startups will dominate the financial landscape of the future​indicates Roger Piqué, General Partner​​by Inveready. Different studies point in this same direction, 84% of executives are actively involved in blockchain projects according to the “Global Blockchain” survey by PriceWaterhouseCoopers. For its part, the 2020 Financial Innovation Barometer prepared by Funcas and Finnovating; ​42% of users would opt for a financial provider other than a traditional bank.

Decentralized digital money, which, among other things, is characterized by its issuance not being controlled by any central entity, raises the curiosity of investors and individuals as an alternative to conventional currencies and as a safe haven in the face of an uncertain panorama in traditional markets.This has happened so much, that companies such as VISA or Paypal have already integrated it into their business model and central banks in multiple countries are studying how to generate their own version of digital currencies.
