Amid the stormy waves in the Crypto space, Bitcoin is once again back in action. It is up by 7% and has soared above $48K levels with a market cap of $918 billion.

As Bitcoin continues to gain strength, big financial institutions continue to invest in the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Citibank said that Bitcoin could become the global trade currency after replacing the U.S. Dollar in a major revelation.
The banking giant also stated that the institutional investors’ entrance has sparked confidence in cryptocurrency, but persistent issues could limit widespread adoption. These include concerns over capital efficiency, insurance and custody, security, and ESG considerations from Bitcoin mining for institutional investors. Security issues with cryptocurrency do occur, but when compared to traditional payments, it performs better.
Even though Citibank believes that Bitcoin would face major hurdles with mainstream adoption, it is the first financial institution to acknowledge that crypto performs well compared to traditional payments.
