Why institutions are quietly buying Bitcoin
For years, cryptocurrencies had been cast aside as the speculative Wild West of the investment world.
But something has quietly shifted in the last two years.
That’s according to Global X ETFs Investment Strategist Justin Lin, who argues that the asset class has moved away from its retail-driven origins to become an increasingly institutionalised asset class.
While our host, Ally Selby, has long been a sceptic, somehow, Lin convinced her that cryptocurrencies should no longer be seen as the playground for scammers and fraudsters, but a regulated ecosystem with assets worthy of a place in strategic portfolios. Learn why in this episode.
