More and more investors are considering bitcoin as a means of preserving capital. «The recent crisis in the US banking sector has helped to restore the use of bitcoin as a decentralized, reliable, and scarce digital asset,» said Jeff Kendrick, Head of Cryptocurrency Trading and EM FX West at Standard Chartered.

According to Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, BTC has every chance of becoming the world’s reserve currency. Hayes predicted that the Federal Reserve and the US government will try to maintain the dominant position of the US currency, but they will not be able to stop the process of its weakening. «Over the past year, the dollar’s use in the global economy has declined. Asian and Latin American countries are entering into agreements with China and India on mutual settlements in national currencies,» the analyst emphasized.
