According to a Chainalysis report in October of 2021, the Global Crypto adoption worldwide increased by over 880% last year. These numbers are not driven by a few crypto whales, but more likely reflect the actions of over a billion people. This represents the beginnings of major shifts in economic, financial, and governance systems.
