Sentiment and politics:
Sentiment for crypto remains high among the devout despite the volatility, however retail investing still keeps a wary eye on the charts. The burnout of 2018 was a blow to the overall markets. However, we are seeing multiple traditional companies building up divisions for research and development on utilizing distributed ledger technology.
It seems countries all over the world are taking note as well, and while it has been slow to get the ball rolling, news of countries like Italy, who are establishing an expert committee on the subject and how it can best be developed as an official strategy, are becoming commonplace. Even India, a long term holdout regarding regulatory approval, has stirrings of officially accepting cryptocurrencies as legal. Those in the space know of how stubborn the country has been regarding crypto as a legal method of exchange, signalling strong news in the markets.
