Crypto Industry News:
Cryptocurrency market analyst Nicholas Merten believes that the decision of the Hong Kong authorities, which allowed retail trading of digital assets, is great news. It analyzes the broader impact this could have on bitcoin.
In a new YouTube video, Nicholas Merten said that the recent decision by the Hong Kong authorities to reopen the region to cryptocurrencies is great news:
"Okay, so the vast majority of investors [in Hong Kong] can now re-invest in cryptocurrencies. This is definitely very good news."
Merten pointed out that in the most optimistic scenario, in which 1% of the city-state's GDP would be invested in cryptocurrencies, "this would mean an inflow of capital to the industry of $3.8 billion."
He pointed to next year's bitcoin halving, as a result of which the supply of new BTC that hit the market will be halved. In his opinion, "narrative alone" is not enough to trigger a bull market. Real changes at the level of the cryptocurrency economy are different...
More and more often, however, we can hear voices that a new boom in cryptocurrencies is ahead of us. Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, is of the opinion that this will start later this year. He pointed to the last quarter of this year. The reason, however, is not only Hong Kong's policy, but the fact that the Chinese WeChat application allows you to trade bitcoins. It is used by up to 1.3 billion people a month. They are potential investors. In addition, in the background, Chinese TV broadcast a short report about cryptocurrencies, which can also be considered an advertisement for digital assets in the Middle Kingdom.
