Bitcoin has drastically fallen in value within two days this past Sunday and Monday, just when the cryptocurrency seemed to be booming. Blockchain has been the base for cryptocurrencies since it is a decentralized database, therefore, it has found its most important use in financial services for making the digital transactions safe, secure, and transparent. The blockchain market report by TBRC is segmented by type into private, public, hybrid. It is also segmented by provider into application, middleware, infrastructure and by application into BFSI, telecom & IT, government. Companies like Circle and BitPesa use blockchain technology for international overseas payments. Now, it has also found its use in the supply chain, healthcare, government, and other sectors.

This decline was mainly due to the COVID-19 outbreak that has led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of industries and other commercial activities that eventually led to a slowdown in the economy. The market is expected to recover and grow very rapidly to reach $15.88 billion in 2023 at a huge CAGR of 91.25%.
