LONDON, Oct. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a significant recovery as it passes the $2.5 trillion mark and continues its upward trajectory. Despite its divisiveness amongst experts, the industry's value has become too significant to ignore, and cryptocurrency may be one of the greatest assets to have. Global investors have begun to acknowledge the benefits of cryptocurrency, particularly for unlocking greater financial freedom, and there is one country proving to be popular.
The dual-island nation of St Kitts and Nevis has quickly become a leading nation in the Caribbean region for crypto-literate banking. The islands have welcomed the digital asset with open arms, implementing legislation to make crypto transactions easier under its Virtual Asset Bill 2020. Additionally, St Kitts and Nevis has piloted its own digital currency known as DCash under the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union, further highlighting its crypto-friendly approach.
The rising demand for cryptocurrency has led to the asset being adopted by businesses and governments in recent years. Companies like PayPal to Twitter have embraced the virtual currency into operations and El Salvador has become the first country to make Bitcoin its national currency. However, with more sectors adopting the currency, many remain sceptical, as evidenced in China's recent decision to ban all cryptocurrency transactions.
According to data, Asian countries make up half of the top 10 nations that use crypto the most. If more jurisdictions followed China's recent ban, it could leave a sizeable demographic looking elsewhere for a crypto-friendly banking environment.
A recent report by Chainalysis on crypto adoption notes: "In emerging markets, many turn to cryptocurrency to preserve their savings in the face of currency devaluation, send and receive remittances, and carry out business transactions."
The advantages of cryptocurrency cannot be denied as it allows for secure and private transactions and an easy transfer of funds. Many also hail it as one of the greatest assets to have in today's climate, particularly for businesspeople who may want to reach more customers globally.
Aside from its attitudes towards cryptocurrency, which remains an attractive incentive for a growing demographic of crypto millionaires, St Kitts and Nevis also offers investors a trusted route to second citizenship - another valuable asset in a constantly evolving world. Under its Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme, investors can contribute towards a government fund in exchange for citizenship, granted that they pass its multi-tiered vetting system. St Kitts and Nevis operates the longest-standing CBI programme globally. It is recognised as a Platinum Standard brand and hailed internationally as the world's best by the annual CBI Index.
Citizenship of St Kitts and Nevis comes with increased global mobility to nearly 160 countries and territories, the right to live, work and study in the nation and the ability to pass citizenship down through descent.
