We can expect this trend to change in this years because cryptocrrencies are doing very well with proper adoption and gathering more users day by day and what need is more time to make prices more stable with recovery because adoption rate got very slow recently mainly because during the previous price decrease the dip was much higher and losses for investors were much bigger than any other time in the crypto market history so many traders lost there hard earned money instantly so with that kind of situation merchants are little hesitant to accept crypto but time will definitely cure this problem  and cryptocurrencies move forward with more stability than ever
