Factors of the upcoming growth of the currency exchange industry and technology blockchain
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency have become a difficult business due to the long bear market. Stories of enormous wealth accumulated overnight and other success stories dried up, but there are reasons for hope. Asia Crypto Today wrote about four positive factors for the development of cryptocurrency.
Popularization of blockchain technology among developers
If the industry employs many professionals involved in various projects, this is a sign of the health of the industry. Now more and more programmers and developers around the world are working with blockchain technology .
Firstly, since the beginning of 2018 the number of downloads Ethereum Solidity programming language with Github has increased almost nine-fold, indicating that interest in the development dApp based Ethereum increases.
Secondly, a large number of decentralized applications (dApps) are being created. According to the State of dApps industry report, since 2017, the number of published projects has also increased, and the number of releases has tripled in the past 12 months.
Many applications are created on platforms such as Tron. Recently, Misha Lederman posted a tweet in which he wrote that on average per day, developers add two new applications to the Tron ecosystem (TRX).
#TRON has 274 DApps live on @dapp_review , edging on the 300 DApps landmark
What is remarkable is that TRON passed the 200 DApps milestone only 35 days ago, meaning that #TRX added an average of 2 DApps every day since then ?

Finally, we note the popularity of innovative technologies among many banks, financial companies and even social networking sites seeking to create and implement their own cryptocurrencies.
In addition, countries such as Japan, Iran, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia are developing their own cryptocurrency projects.
Increasing the number of vacancies in the blockchain industry
Like developers, the number of job advertisements in the crypto and blockchain industry is an important indicator of the industry’s overall health. According to Chain News, their number has steadily increased over the last year.
Growth of investment in the crisis industry
Famous venture capitalists from Silicon Valley and in other countries realized the value of cryptocurrencies and invested unprecedented amounts in them. Venture funds that also make serious investments include Sequoia Capital, Digital Currency Group, Pantera Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Draper Associates, and Google Ventures.

Growth in the number of cryptocurrency wallets
The more wallets – the more market participants: over the past 12 months, the number of bitcoin and ethereum wallets has grown about 3 times, which indicates an increase in demand for cryptocurrencies.
