The future of blockchain, biometrics, and cryptocurrency for 2021 are looking very bright as more and more big companies have begun to recognize their capabilities and invest.
Blockchain technology is trending. There are many advancements being made to the technology which makes it much more accessible. More and more people are betting on cryptocurrencies, making blockchain technology even more important.

Digital currencies are becoming more and more applicable in today’s markets. This shift is comparable to when the internet first became popularized—novel advancements can be intimidating at first, but will indubitably become a natural part of our economic ecosystem.
Additionally, as IoT devices become more popularized, biometric technology is in the headlines. Biometrics in healthcare during the pandemic has shed light on how widespread and important the use cases are. According to multiple reports done by BiometricUpdate.com, the biometric market is about to boom:
- Biometric system markets are to grow by $30 billion in the next 5 years
- Government biometric initiatives will boost the market by $18 billion
- By 2025, biometrics are anticipated to lead the verification market
BiometricUpdate.com writes, “Multi-factor authentication is expected to be the fastest-growing segment by authentication type, led by the government and defense sectors, while systems that are a hybrid of contact and contactless modalities will grow faster than either contact or contactless systems.” Government investment in biometrics, coupled with the ecommerce spike has created the recipe for major economic growth in the biometric market. Additionally, the healthcare reliance on the technology and growing uses for this technology during the pandemic have created urgency for more development. Overall, biometric systems are trending upwards and are undoubtedly the future.
