I think so. I mean, the trading world has clearly already embraced crypto. It's the institutions that are lagging behind in viewing crypto as a legitimate currency. I can't determine if the institutional world (banks, etc) has failed to embrace it due to snobbery, looking out for its own survival, or legitimate fear of the inherent risk.
