Many in the crypto markets believe there is a crypto winter happening right now as firms try to figure out what’s next after the excitement has worn off; the other big issue is large financial institutions have not jumped in as many had hoped; there are some big names who have developed products and others who are still working with regulators but a lot of startups were pinning hopes to a larger set getting active in the space; there is a long term vision for blockchain technology but the timeline has certainly been pushed out further than originally thought; with names like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and the New York Stock Exchange the market still has a fair amount of interest from some of the biggest names in finance.
