Even as uncertainties surround confidence in the digital asset market, leaders of financial institutions still maintain a strong belief in the importance that crypto holds in the long term.

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva highlighted the crucial role of digital assets in today’s world and urged people not to pull out of it even as the industry faces strong headwinds—instead, she encouraged greater education and regulation in the still-nascent sector.

"Such sentiment and clarity from policymakers will boost trust in the sector at large, enabling greater opportunity for the crypto industry to mature," CoinDCX told International Business Times.

The Central African Republic plans to debut the first legal crypto investment hub in the continent.
