The report predicted that a 'BTC space race' will begin as the global regulatory environment changes, similar to how the US and the Soviet Union competed in space-related achievements during the Cold War. It also explained that as global conglomerates and major financial institutions have already entered the market centered on stablecoins and BTC, the introduction of the US BTC strategic asset bill will intensify competition between countries. Stablecoins are virtual assets that are pegged to fiat currencies to reduce price volatility.
The report forecasted that banks' participation in the virtual asset market will expand. It explained that the changes in the US regulatory environment have created a favorable environment for the virtual asset market.
It also predicted that the institutionalization of altcoins (virtual assets other than BTC) will accelerate and various tokenized funds will grow. Many asset management companies have already applied for Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), and crypto index ETFs, and are experimenting with tokenizing various funds.
Yoon-young Choi, head of the Korbit Research Center, said, "In a market like this, we need to objectively analyze the market situation and closely examine the structural changes in the market and the impact of external factors from a long-term perspective."
