Price changes decline [19659003] Although 2018 was a volatile year for cryptocurrencies, the market has made significant progress on a number of fronts, including price consistency across the major stock exchanges. According to SFOX, a cryptocurrency trading technology company, 2018 saw a decline in price changes in digital currency exchanges. The company cited a growing institutional interest in cryptocurrency as the main reason for this important change.
"Before institutional companies actively traded with cryptography or heavily involved (before 2018) the price differences of bitcoins between exchanges varied up to 4.5%" Kim, responsible for the growth of SFOX, as reported by Business Insider.
As observed by SFOX, lower price changes mean more stability for digital resources such as bitcoins, which can ultimately increase merchants' adoption.
If institutional adoption is the key to reducing price variability, then there is reason to believe that the market will stabilize further in the coming years. Last month, the New York Stock Exchange operator, Intercontinental Exchange, announced a new crypto venture to promote investor and consumer adoption. Around the same time, Boerse Stuttgart – Germany's second largest stock exchange – announced that it will launch a new cryptocurrency platform.
According to Kim, high frequency trading companies (HFTs) could thrive in this environment while new technologies attract more speculators and market makers in the fold.
"Some HFT companies were traded by Crypto 2014, but they were limited because the infrastructure was not present, most, if not all, HFT companies require a FIX connection in a bag to operate in efficient way ", he said, citing Business Insider. "The Crypto exchanges did not offer FIX connectivity until recently."
