One of the main growth factors of the market is the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies as a legal asset class.

As cryptocurrencies gain acceptance among both individual investors and institutional players, the need for secure and user-friendly storage options has become increasingly apparent. This recognition has inspired the development and use of crypto wallets worldwide. Another important factor is the growing awareness of cyber security and its important role in the crypto space.

The increase in internet penetration and the use of smartphones worldwide has increased the demand for easy and secure transaction methods.
