People have often compared crypto to stocks since owning a coin, represents your "share" of the decentralized blockchain network. Exchanges act as brokers in a similar fashion to traditional stocks. While stocks are fiercely regulated, crypto is the "wild west". Cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile, while stocks are much more stable. Despite crypto/Blockchain tech's popularity, stocks are still preferred by mainstream investors and traders alike.
Which asset types do you think are better: crypto or stocks? Is crypto getting closer to becoming regulated just like stocks? What do you think will happen if institutional investors come into play? Will stocks transition themselves to the Blockchain? Or is it still too early to tell? Your input will be greatly appreciated.
Crypto is already being regulated in some places , centralized exchanges in the cryptocurrency market are where the regulation starts, and that’s where it ends, because they can’t continue keeping an eye on it when it’s out of there. When it comes to decentralized exchanges you don’t know who owns an address, exchanges are P2P and people don’t reveal their identity. But as for centralized exchanges, it’s always clear who owns the address because users have to submit some of their information and sometimes full information that will disclose everything about them, and that helps regulators to know everything about them.
