The London-based company recently published its March review, which showed an unexpected growth rate throughout the entire sector.<\/p>\n<p>Charles Hayter, the CEO of CryptoCompare, said in the company's release:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We continue to see great appetite from both retail and institutional investors to capitalize on the opportunities crypto asset trading can bring.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hayter also added that the crypto market has taken positive steps in the development of a nascent crypto derivatives market and creating better trading tools.
