Citigroup (NYSE: C), a Manhattan-based investment bank and financial services corporation with $2.2 trillion in assets, said bitcoin could be used as the main currency in international trade.
Bitcoin for international trade
The investment bank published a 119-page report on bitcoin and how the digital asset has managed to shift from “being a primarily retail-focused endeavor to something that looks attractive for institutional investors.”The report said that bitcoin has an advantage in global payments because of its decentralized design, traceability, lack of foreign exchange exposure, and fast, cheap, and secure payment channels.
As a result of this, bitcoin could become a major player in international trade.
“These attributes combined with bitcoin’s global reach and neutrality could spur it to become the currency of choice for international trade.”The U.S. dollar is currently the world’s reserve currency and used for international trade.
However, previous reports have revealed that countries such as China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea are likely to develop a cryptocurrency-based payment system to end the U.S. dollar’s hegemony in international trade.
The report marks a major shift in how Wall Street and institutional investors have previously perceived the cryptocurrency industry.
Coming to the fold
Many traditional banks and investors have previously shunned the digital asset, claiming that it has no intrinsic value and constantly compared it to the tulip mania of the 17th century.This tune has changed, or at least, has taken a more silent tone as bitcoin’s surge in the last few months has forced institutions to reconsider their positions on bitcoin.
Financial services company PayPal announced last year that it would offer crypto services for its customers in the U.S. It is expanding as crypto seems to be a lucrative business.
Apart from offering services, major companies are beginning to convert their balance sheet into bitcoin, with MicroStrategy and Tesla leading the race.
The flow of institutional capital has made this bull run different from previous cycles, most notably in 2017.
A sustainable bull market
Bitcoin rose to a high of nearly $20,000 in December 2017, only to be followed by a brutal winter that saw the leading digital asset lose 80% of its value.
However, this time seems to be different.
The bull market is supported by institutional capital, the so-called smart money, and analysts believe that the demand outstrips the supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
