Before the attack, crypto was suspended in Ukraine late last year; the lawmakers banned all transactions or dealing with crypto. However, during the attack, the President changed the bill to allow crypto donations, which helped purchase military equipment.
A few months ago, the United States Commodity Future Trading Commission alleged that virtual currencies would constitute America’s portfolios. “The crypto regulating commission stated that virtual currencies will dominate in the country with the high acceptance rate. A recent survey in the U.S. revealed that one out five adults has affiliations with cryptocurrency”.
2022 can be regarded as one of the best years for cryptocurrencies with the high adoption rate, despite the subsequent markets crash and losses. Introducing cryptocurrency into the digital/financial space is a good move. However, there are fears of the risk of bankruptcy caused by the volatile nature of virtual currencies.
Traditional Finance Experts Migrating Into Crypto
During the past few months in 2022, top companies, institutions, and firms in the traditional finance industry have entered crypto. A few weeks ago, a popular banking firm, Santander, announced new crypto services on its platform to Brazilian citizens. Many banking and financial institutions have followed suit.
Recently two finance experts, Babbar Katia and William McGhee, announced their entry into virtual currencies.

The duo, Babbar and Williams, launched a system for crypto users to manage risk and decentralized Finance called Immersive. When a crypto platform interviewed the duo, they stated that the new revolution is a cryptocurrency, and everyone needed to move in this direction.
Recently, the United States Security Exchange Commission regarded the migrations as shocking. The commission stated that it would develop a regulatory framework to protect customers. Other notable figures joining the crypto space include; Andrei Serjantov (BNP Paribas executive), Moelis company (an investment bank), Santander bank, and others.
