Just now, as Brazil's largest bank, Itaú Unibanco announced that its 60 million customers can now start purchasing Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This is undoubtedly a significant move by Brazil in the cryptocurrency market.
According to the latest data, Bitcoin search volume in Brazil has experienced explosive growth on a monthly basis. As of now, Brazil has become the place with the highest Bitcoin search volume in the world.
This data indicates that the Brazilian population has an extremely high level of interest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The announcement by Itaú Unibanco to allow Bitcoin purchases will undoubtedly have an impact on Brazil and even the entire Bitcoin market.
As Brazil's largest bank, Itaú Unibanco's move to allow Bitcoin purchases is significant. However, this action presents both advantages and disadvantages for the majority of cryptocurrency investors.
In the short term, the involvement of banks will make it easier for more people to access and purchase Bitcoin, significantly increasing demand for Bitcoin, enhancing the legitimacy and trustworthiness of the market, increasing liquidity, and potentially leading to sharp price increases or fluctuations.
In the long term, the involvement of banks will likely contribute to greater market stability. After short-term fluctuations, banks may help smooth market volatility, leading to more stable price trends. Additionally, the regulatory environment may become stricter with the participation of banks.
