Bitcoin is responsible for the recovery of the cryptomarket
Blockchain Capital’s report recognizes the trend that has been consolidated during 2019: Bitcoin is a store of value.

Bitcoin has had a powerful presence as an alternative for citizens in countries with economies in crisis. As seen in Venezuela, Iran, Argentina and Africa:
At a macro level, the narrative of bitcoin as an uncorrelated asset emerged. In the face of rising global instability and negative yields, allocators are in need of alternative stores of value.
The investment firm also states that the growth of the cryptomarket was 73 billion dollars during 2019. However, it attributes 93% of the growth to Bitcoin. In yield BTC was moved to the second place by the BNB with a positive percentage of 155% against 98% of BTC.
Ripple and Stellar Lumens were the companies most affected. Despite the positive announcements and alliances Blockchain Capital gives a negative performance of 39% to Ripple and 45% to Stellar.
Blockchain Capital places the market recovery during 2019 at 56%. On the other hand, the report states that Tether is the predominant stable currency. While Ethereum, the second cryptocurrency to grow in terms of capitalization after BTC, is the leading platform for smart contracts.
On the other hand, the report says that the return of the ICOs was framed in the form of IEOs that proved to be an unsustainable model. While decentralized finance (DeFi) became the strongest use case.
