Outlook
① TokenInsight estimates that the SHA-256 ASIC market shares of Bitmain, Canaan, Whatminer, and Eband are roughly at 63%, 18%, 10%, 7% respectively in 2020.
② The 3rd halving should have a limited impact on the price of Bitcoin in the short term but will have a positive impact in the long run.
③ Mining farms located outside of China are expected to grow at a faster pace.
④ The mining pools will start to integrate more Altcoin mining with huge market potential and risks.
⑤ More cloud mining products will be launched targeting the broader market.
⑥ Altcoin mining may transit from GPU / CPU to FPGA gradually and could be occupied by ASIC mining in the long run.
⑦ Cryptocurrency derivatives will be gradually introduced and developed. Compared with the size of the traditional derivative market, it has huge market opportunities.
