Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz expressed confidence that cryptocurrencies in the US will receive a favorable regulatory environment, regardless of the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. In an interview with CNBC, he emphasized the importance of bipartisan support and predicted positive legislation for the crypto industry.
The Importance of the Bipartisan Issue
Novogratz noted that cryptocurrencies should become a bipartisan issue to avoid situations where one party supports crypto innovation and the other opposes it. He believes that this approach will help create a stable regulatory environment conducive to the development of the crypto industry.
Despite some opposition from individual lawmakers such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, Novogratz emphasized that most US politicians are inclined to support crypto innovation. He noted that in recent years there has been a noticeable shift towards more favorable attitudes towards cryptocurrencies.
Predictions for the Future of Regulation
Novogratz expressed confidence that positive cryptocurrency legislation is inevitable, regardless of who wins the next presidential election. He declared:
“No matter who wins the next election, we will get positive cryptocurrency legislation - I know it.”
His comments come amid changing trends in the US political landscape. Cryptocurrencies have become an increasingly important topic for many voters, and recent polls have shown that cryptocurrency users are more likely to vote for politicians who are favorable to the industry.
Bitcoin Market: Current Trends and Forecasts
Novogratz also reviewed recent trends in the Bitcoin market, noting its significant growth following the approval of the Bitcoin ETF. As a result of this event, the price of Bitcoin soared above $73,000, reaching a new all-time high in March.
He expects Bitcoin to trade in the $55,000 to $73,000 range until further news emerges that could move the market. Novogratz stressed that growth takes time and noted Bitcoin's impressive rise to its all-time high this year.
Bitcoin in Investment Portfolios
Novogratz continues to advocate for Bitcoin as a core component of investment portfolios, especially in light of rising US government debt and spending. He believes that Bitcoin remains a reliable asset for long-term investment.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at around $62,000, down 9% over the past month, but up 44% year-to-date and 102% up over the past year. Mike Novogratz's forecasts and current trends in the cryptocurrency market indicate that the future of this industry in the United States looks very promising, regardless of the political situation.
