The most likely path, plus upside and downside
Fiserv captures 15% of the U.S. crypto settlement market, aligning with increasing regulatory clarity on cryptocurrencies and widespread adoption by existing financial partners.
A successful adoption of INDX leads to a 30% market penetration within 24 months, as more financial institutions shift due to competitive pressures.
Regulatory hurdles or negative industry developments (e.g., significant crypto market downturns) result in reduced adoption of INDX, keeping Fiserv’s market share below 10%.
