While crypto markets have been experiencing a steep decline, Netherlands-based ‘Big Four’ auditor KPMG released a bullish report on cryptocurrency Nov. 15. The report argues that institutional investors must join the industry for it to “realize its potential.”

“In 2018, we are seeing a wave of new entrants in the market such as security token platforms, stablecoins, and even established financial services institutions that are launching crypto products and services. Cryptoassets are now impossible to ignore,” the report reads.

Today Cointelegraph also reported that Bitcoin-based smart contract protocol Rootstock (RSK) is integrating with spin-off project RIF OS to expand its scope of operations. This will purportedly enable the RSK protocol to go beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum network support and include various P2P functions and “accelerate the adoption of open source blockchain technology worldwide.”
