Bitcoin very well has the potential to be the successor to the dollar and the next global reserve currency. For now, the store of value narrative<\/a> and acting as a hedge against inflation has drawn institutions to the asset class finally. Crypto analysts point to the high wealth, “smart money” investor class as the sole reason for the sudden momentum across the market.<\/p>\n However, retail volumes in emerging markets have tripled in the last month alone, and are tending at new all-time highs.
