In a survey conducted by the big-for-audit firm Deloitte, the so-called “2021 Global Blockchain Survey”, 1,280 professionals from the financial sector were asked about blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Participants came from Brazil, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Great Britain and the United States.

Around 73% of respondents expressed concern that companies would lose their chance of gaining a competitive advantage if they did not use blockchain or digital assets. Despite the prevalence of Bitcoin and the like, cyber security is still an obstacle to its mass acceptance. This was the opinion of 71% of the respondents.
