We expect financial institutions to offer crypto to their investors in a wide variety of products from derivatives for hedging and leverage, inflation protection products and also yield generation products that will compete against traditional fixed income products. Traditionally, institutions are held to a higher set of standards when engaging with investors, so they will only be able to adopt crypto into portfolios as they get comfortable being able to understand the risks and see continuing advances in compliance, insurance, security, market integrity and transparency. Institutional use of crypto will be the accelerator for crypto to become a mainstream asset class and lead to broader adoption by a wide swath of investors and other users. This is the inflection point weвЂ™ve been waiting for. I think what weвЂ™ll begin to see is volatility start to subside as more and more institutions use crypto and blockchain for real-world, non-speculative use cases (tied to regular business cycles) like payments, real estate, equities, gaming and more instead of the retail use cases that comprise much of crypto volume today.

More liquidity venues (with subsequent on-off ramps between fiat and crypto) will be vital to crypto succeeding in institutional use cases. Pre-2017, crypto liquidity was limited to a handful of exchanges with a few million dollars in volume across all assets - this has dramatically changed in recent years.

What do institutions bring to crypto? New liquidity venues that extend the breadth and depth of crypto markets. The crypto industry has been around for over a decade now, and like many other industries, started with speculative use cases focused on retail users, which go hand-in-hand with high volatility. On energy, Italy, which has little oil or gas of its own, still gets 88 percent of its energy by burning fossil fuels.Institutional adoption is a direct result of more mature and institutional-grade products in the market, in turn leading to a positive feedback loop with growing institutional interest and products that stand the rigorous tests of compliance and scalability. вЂњThe diagnosis on ItalyвЂ™s health is not encouraging, in particular when it comes to two infrastructure areas: energy and transport,вЂќ said the green group as it issued an annual report of the state of the nationвЂ™s environment. The home of Ferrari and Fiat is more car-mad than any other in Europe, the Legambiente group said, quoting figures showing Italians drive an average 15,000 kilometres (9,300 miles) each year - 31 percent more than the European average and 60 percent more than the average German. Italians' love of cars and their reluctance to switch from carbon fuels for energy needs means their country is one of the worst environmental performers in Europe, one of Italy's main green groups said on Thursday.
