<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Crypto Predictions For 2022: Growth In India and Regulatory Clarity</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The year 2021 has demonstrated the promise of cryptocurrency, particularly in India. In only this year, the Indian market has risen by at least five to ten times. And this is the tipping point when 2022 will most likely outperform 2021 in terms of growth...With all of the money pouring into crypto, tens of thousands of crypto companies will likely emerge by 2022.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">We are most likely in the final phases of regulation, with governments such as India and others pondering what crypto rules should look like. We'll see a lot more countries working to create that regulatory climate in their own countries.</span>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">CBDCs in Greater Numbers</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">CBDC (central bank digital currency) has been the talk of the town, and we've seen some preliminary attempts. However, by 2022, many more countries will have adopted and implemented their own CBDC.</span>

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Cryptocurrency Acceptance Continues to Grow at a Breakneck Pace</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Countries understand that they either participate or risk being left out. This is not a technology in which one or two nations decide their fate; instead, it is a technology that encourages all nations to participate, which is a wonderful thing akin to the internet. Today, around 150 million individuals are interested in cryptocurrency. There are 4.73 billion people on the internet, so there's a long way to go. Looking back, every country had to embrace and adapt at some point, and crypto will be no different. </span>
