Hui reminded Cointelegraph that the Bitcoin supply will decrease significantly, dropping the reward to just 3,125 BTC per block. Traditional financial institutions are showing increasing interest in investing in the sector:

“What about BlackRock? They have $10 trillion in assets under management. The total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market is $2 trillion: they have five times more.”

“This money will come, as the supply decreases, the demand for BTC will increase and the price will increase.”
