Focus on new crypto usability in real world

The research focused on the next point of concern regarding the emergence of new digital assets. According to the research report:

“With new cryptocurrencies launching, the focus is now on their role in advancing the financial world. While some digital assets are created as speculative tools, others focus on mainstream adoption and seek solutions for real-world problems. However, only cryptocurrencies with a strong use case will potentially survive.”
