There are now nearly 71,000 cryptocurrencies in circulation, up from just 500 in 2014. It is estimated that there will be more than 7,000 cryptocurrencies by October 2021. A reported 14% people live in the United States — which roughly equals 21.2 million people — have purchased some form of cryptocurrency, with more than 300 million crypto owners estimated worldwide.

It’s clear: Cryptocurrency is here to stay, and its path to global recognition and success has only just begun. As I shared previously, innovative sectors in longevity and biotech need to work with visionaries of digital currency. Their work can be futureproofed. Crypto buyers, CEOs, and founders have already broken down the barriers to make it more decentralized in their daily lives. With the ability to provide investors with diverse financial options and access to assets, cryptocurrency is creating an innovative future.
