Cryptocurrencies are not threats to traditional banks. Many countries banned bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies in the past but after some of them are knowing about what cryptocurrencies are, they unban them. Since today, all countries that accept cryptocurrencies and the ones that are very friendly with them have no problem, there banking sector has no problem. You can even see in those countries that some banks are allowed to hold coins and tokens for their customers. Banks can even embrace cryptocurrencies.

 Cryptocurrency are not threats to the banking system,they are simply existing predominantly and making lasting changes in the history of economics just to promote financial stability.

 The only threats that I see as a threat is that traditional banking system are scared of losing their large generation of customers in the hands of crypto assets,because they feel that they are investing huge sum of money into cryptocurrency and that way there're promoting the growth and stability of crypto assets.

  With reference to information and news content drawn,a recent study by Piplsay shows that 38% of Gen X, 49% of Millennials and 13% of Gen Z own cryptocurrencies.Gen Z is relatively obsessed or connected with cryptocurrencies,that is to say banks are gradually losing their leading roles,as in an important leading role to the crypto industry.
 Although it doesn't really seem like a threat,but all of these are challenges that the banks will need to face and overcome.

   The relationship between traditional banking are,

   Cryptocurrency is getting more totality and advanced into a better state of relationship ,it also gives an option to traditional banking method,  gives instant transactions and low fees.

Cryptocurrency can use the service of traditional banking to give their customers easy liberty to Fiat currency,in other for it to be easy for customers to buy and sell cryptocurrency.

   Traditional banking can use cryptocurrency to improving payment services by using blockchain technology to fasten and reduce their cost of payment internationally.

   Traditional banking can give custody to cryptocurrency by making customers to keep their cryptocurrency safe and secure in the bank.

   Many cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets request users in linking their bank account for proper fund transactions processes

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
Actually cryptocurrency is not a threat to traditional bank but traditional banks see Bitcoin as threat reason been that imagine now 2022 you kept $20,000 in your bank account how much interest I will bring and you bought Bitcoin worth $20,000 in 2022 how much interest you will make by now
So traditional banks use our saved money for other businesses since we keep our money in Bitcoin to give huge profits over the year so the traditional bank sees bitcoin as threat
You conclusion is correct but the reasoning is wrong. A certain bulk of bitcoin bought back in time is worth more that the buying price is not the reason why banks dont like bitcoin.

Banks are centralized and they are censorship prone, while bitcoin is not so. This is why banks dont want people to invest in bitcoin. But it is also true that without the banks you will face monetary problems depending on where you live because living on crypto is not complete yet.

The trading profit from bitcoin is not be considered here - indeed it does give much returns in that but that was never its main purpose.

Cryptocurrencies and banks will interact with each other, co-exist and benefit each other.

I'm afraid so. We can blame developers for not prioritizing decentralization. Crypto would've been a threat to the existing banking system by now.  Sad


I like to have choices and honestly I still use bank transfers. Not all of my fund transfers is processed through cryptocurrencies.

Only newbies think that cryptocurrencies will completely replace and kill fiat currencies, banks some day in future.

The dream has always been to use crypto and avoid banks altogether. Why do you think Satoshi created Bitcoin? Because he wanted us to trust a decentralized cryptocurrency instead of banks which subject to corruption, manipulation, and fraud. These same entities are the ones responsible for the fractured global economy. Just because they have a "money printer", doesn't mean they can do whatever they want.

With Bitcoin, the power is given back to the people. One would hope it doesn't turn centralized in the long run. As long as individuals (not corporations) hold most of BTC's supply, there should be nothing to worry about. Wink

We are far from the misconception that Bitcoin is a threat to the traditional financial system,  banks have misled governments on the real ideology and role of Bitcoin in the economy and for sure cryptocurrency is just an alternative and not a replacement for the traditional financial system.

But now some countries are beginning to have a better and clearer understanding of what role cryptocurrency plays in the financial system and at that, they are beginning to take advantage of the freedom and independence that comes along with cryptocurrency,  but for now, in my country I haven't seen any bank in my country making public ownership of bitcoin or any other coins since the central made a reversed statement on the ban of bitcoin and other digital currencies

You own the pen
They are threatened because they have been doing the best they can to sabotage the rise of bitcoins and they not gonna stop until they have also full control of it since it was launched more than a decade ago. They don't like to have competitors since they are already crowded and they have been doing good business before bitcoin's era. When you see some group on the internet saying bad things about bitcoins and they are always hostile against it, know that it is one of their people and they might come up with some new hoax again, thankfully people always ignored them since Bitcoin's price has kept rising since its beginning.

It's definitely wrong for Traditional banks to feel threatened by bitcoin and other crypto, I know they feel the threats because of its decentralised nature rather they should see potential in a mutual form and opportunity for a new financial system. But I do believe with time traditional Banks will get along with cryptocurrency like bitcoin unless they want to be left behind with the increase potential of bitcoin growth.

Hello everyone a very good day you all.


So, let’s talk about this interesting duo: cryptocurrency and traditional banking. Some say traditional banks are threatened by crypto’s rise, while others think they’re starting to see the potential and hopping on the bandwagon. Either way, it’s a fascinating dynamic to watch unfold. What do you think? Are they destined for a happily ever after or is this just a temporary fling?

Let me know your thoughts on this.

It all started with the fact that cryptocurrencies were supposed to replace the established euonomic system - this was the super goal of all crypto enthusiasts.
But after hundreds of regulations, now we all go through KYC, speculate and want money. And the banking system is only glad of such behavior. Now they are not in danger, and they earn money by speculating in cryptocurrencies.

They're integrating crypto in their system because it doesn't pose a threat to their very existence. Do you think banks and governments would embrace the revolution if it was truly-decentralized? I think not. While BTC is decentralized, it has a set of issues (scaling, volatility, etc) which prevents it from replacing Fiat currencies altogether. It will never become a threat to banks' very existence.
Because they know that fact and we as senior Bitcoin investors, users know about that fact too. Banks integrate crypto into their payment system because they know cryptocurrencies won't replace and kill fiat currencies. They know that by deploying integration, their banks will get more money flow, more income and have better balance sheets.

Cryptocurrencies and banks will interact with each other, co-exist and benefit each other.

some are already starting to integrate crypto in their system or other financial services. they can't stop the adoption of this market and they are understanding the fact that they can't do much in totally stopping this market
the sentiments on this market is changing as more and more governments are legally accepting this market in their financial system. just look at how many countries are making btc as their legal tender? it started from one country and now several countries are already looking at this option.

and besides, as the government is now creating crypto-related financial protocols such as crypto-based or btc-based ETFs, the public is now getting easy on this market. where way way back this market was labelled as fraud, scam, illegal, or any negative thoughts that they can think of, even portrayed to be the currency of hackers/scammers on the net in movies

Cryptocurrency has never being a threat to traditional banking, as a matter of fact if banks are smart it should be an opportunity to make more income for themselves. Some countries ban cryptocurrency because of their inability to make provision to help curtail how people launder money with crypto, as time goes on some countries are already unbanning it. Countries like India has a full support for cryptocurrency where an exchange like Bitget is also supporting them with resources for adopting cryptocurrency in the country.

I don't think that cryptocurrency are a threat to the conventional banking system. They can actually coexist. There are so many things the conventional banks can learn from cryptocurrency if they will be humble enough to embrace the Blockchain technology. It will actually help them, but they would rather wanna keep everything in the dark so they can perpetuate their criminality.

Of course it's not a threat to banks. After all, most cryptocurrencies are centralized. One way or another, they depend on a middleman (centralized exchanges, a few powerful validators/stakers/miners, etc). Banks should be happy with the path crypto is heading to. Especially now with the approval ot Bitcoin spot ETFs by the SEC.

I'm afraid decentralizing the economy will be a long and distant dream. Gone are the days where developers actually cared about making crypto/Blockchain tech more useful instead of focusing on making money (hype). The growing number of worthless "meme" coins and NFTs, tells us that devs are prioritizing quantity over quality. I wonder if banks will eventually "destroy" the crypto industry with the launch of CBDCs? Only time will tell. At least, it was good while it lasted. Grin

If traditional banks should disappear today, I would miss them and this is most likely true for most other people in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. A reason why we all use the traditional banks is that in the past, it was need and kind of the only choice or offer on the table. Look countries that are still developing a good number of their population are not "banked". Basically, banks are just payment services that aren't really doing anything in terms of value to their community other than bringing in profits for their shareholders.
The whole economy would collapse if banks were to disappear tomorrow because the capitalistic system is too dependent on them. Unfortunately, they're a necessary evil; you're getting paid through banks, conducting payments via transfers or cards, and withdrawing money. The current economy wouldn't function without them. Although cryptocurrencies can also conduct transactions, most of the time even faster than the banking system, they haven't been adopted for daily usage and aren't as convenient as simply paying with a credit card.

Fighting the banking system is wrong; I don't think cryptocurrencies will ever be able to replace them. I don't think that was their purpose anyway; they're meant to co-exist, although only a small part of the population has adopted them.
Since the beginning of time, financial transactions have counted on them. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin arent just extras for banks. Finance might change if it is more open and includes more people.

Bitcoin is an interesting option to banks because it lets people send money to each other without going through a middleman. Trust in economic transactions over speed or efficiency needs to be rethought. Bitcoin is safe and clear because it is decentralized, which banks cant match. Not just changing the banking system, but making it fairer.

Its not true that bitcoins arent used every day; more and more people are starting to use them. Before they became popular, cash and credit cards were useful. As more people use and get access to Bitcoin, it could replace or make banks better.

It's the same old story: when a new idea, product, or service comes out, and it's usually something better and improved compared to whatever is already available, there are two different kind of reactions from the competitors: those who complain and try to take it down and those who are smarter and see the possibility to improve their own business. Banks are doing the same: some are taking advantage of cryptos while others are trying to fight them. To me it's pretty pointless trying to stop the future but they, everybody is different.

This is where the banks are getting it wrong. The banks think that crypto currencies are threats to the banking sector and which is not true because they do not know what bitcoin is. The banks can help people to save their gold and other jewelleries which are assets but failed to save bitcoin and other crypto assets for people. These things are like physical assets but the difference is that they are digitally created and they remain digital. It would be good if banks provide crypto services to their customers or they can continue to miss. If they do not do, there are many ways to buy and sell cryptocurrencies without the need of bank. Even banks are custodian means which is not a recommended and advisable. I prefer noncustodial means.

It's a battle between centralisation and decentralisation. Banks are there for centuries and we know they are controlled by centralised institutes like governments or group of people. Bitcoin financial system is different in a sense that its decentralised and can't be controlled by few entities. The governments have no objection in allowing Bitcoin that is centralised i.e. being traded on exchanges like binance which in turn do KYC but don't allow decentralised Bitcoin which can't be traced or taxed.

To a certain degree, the rise in the value of cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin can truly be said to be a threat to traditional banks, in the sense that when the value of Bitcoin starts to rise, people who had money in banks most times are always prone to withdrawing their funds to invest in Bitcoin so as to reap a little profit as the market soar higher, rather than leaving the whole funds in bank where it yield no profit. But still yet, the role of traditional banks can never be underrated as a medium which aided both the buying and selling this cryptocurrency. Hence, a constant increase in Bitcoin will always lure many into withdrawing their bank funds so as to invest in Bitcoin

The rise of the bitcoin demand already increases the bank fear about the cryptocurrency.This was the reason for many exchanges are saying to link your national identity with the exchange.This was made to monitor the money transactions on your bank and you will be charged for the income taxes to the government.If the money was high,the tax percentage for the transaction to the government will be high.This was reason for the many countries legalise the cryptocurrency in their countries.So the transaction was easily find by the bankers,withdrawing the funds from the exchange to the bank will reduce some money to the traders in exchange.

At the beginning of the emergence of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, there was a lot of news circulating as if banks and crypto could not coexist. However, now we can see that the two are starting to coexist and even have a mutually beneficial relationship. Even now, Central Banks are also interested in digital technology which is also used in cryptocurrency such as Blockchain. So CBDC has been launched and tested in many countries and the results are also quite positive. From this alone we can see that the two can indeed coexist. Even after the Bitcoin Spot ETF has now been approved by the SEC in America, this also has good potential for wider adoption in the future. And this is just about the origin of only one choice in a centralized system and now the choice has branched into two, namely with Bitcoin which uses a Decentralized system.
