- The report by Allied Market Research published Tuesday projects a compound annual growth rate of 12.8% between 2021 and 2030.
- The main drivers will be increased demand for international remittances and more transparency in global payments systems, Allied Market said.
- More than two-thirds of the industry's 2020 size was attributable to the mining segment, which is expected to retain this position of dominance through 2030.
- However, the transaction segment will see the fastest growth, the report found.
- Allied Market forecast that the Asia-Pacific crypto industry will be the fastest growing because of increased competition from a growing number of exchanges.
- The report largely echoes of another recent study by the same company into the crypto asset-management market, which it projects will grow to $9.4 billion in 2030 from $670 million in 2020. That also identified Asia-Pacific as the region for the most significant growth because of the large numbers of crypto mining enterprises there, driving demand for asset-management products and services to help manage their business processes.

Prediction Markets Are Quietly Turning Into a New Asset Class, Citizens Says
The bank said event markets are still tiny versus stocks but are rapidly expanding beyond sports into macro and policy risk.
What to know:
- Citizens said prediction markets are shifting asset class from niche to emerging.
- The bank argued that event contracts fix a key flaw in traditional finance by letting investors trade directly on inflation, elections, Fed moves and regulation.
- While regulation and liquidity are hurdles, prediction markets are likely to evolve from retail-heavy speculation into a mainstream hedging and information tool that could reach multitrillion-dollar annual scale, the report said.
