Soaring Popularity of Cryptocurrencies Propelling Blockchain Devices Demand

The popularity of cryptocurrency can be traced back to the introduction of Bitcoin, which observed an unprecedented growth in 2017. Following the popularity of Bitcoin, several new cryptocurrencies, such as Monero, Ethereum, Dash, Litecoin, and Ripple, were launched, owing to which corporate users in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) and government sectors have started using cryptocurrencies for transactions. 

As every transaction is validated through a decentralized system, it requires certain devices and technologies to protect cryptocurrencies. Therefore, the rising adoption of cryptocurrencies across sectors will facilitate the deployment of blockchain devices globally. Additionally, the increasing use of cryptocurrency as a mode of payment is expected to drive the blockchain devices market at a healthy CAGR of 48.7% during the forecast period (2020–2030).


According to P&S Intelligence, the market revenue will surge from $0.3 billion in 2019 to $23.5 billion by 2030. The escalating use of this digital currency as a payment mode in the retail sector will fuel the demand for blockchain hardware wallets and point of sales (POS) terminals. Between the two variants, hardware-based wallets are more secure, as they are not vulnerable to system errors and hacking and can be taken offline.

Blockchain devices such as blockchain smartphones, blockchain gateways, pre-configured devices, crypto hardware wallets, POS terminals, and crypto automated teller machines (ATMs) are used for personal as well as corporate applications. Among these, crypto hardware wallets were adopted in the highest number due to the booming number of cryptocurrency users and an increasing number of transactions. These wallets are either hardware-based or software-based. 

Thus, the rising adoption of cryptocurrencies and the surging use of this digital currency as a mode of payment will propel the usage of blockchain devices in the coming years.
