I Will Always Stick With Bitcoin: American Billionaire Paul Tudor Jones III

Image
Paul Tudor Jones III, a well-known hedge fund manager, said he will always have a "small" exposure to bitcoin since it is "the only thing that humans can't adjust the supply in." The American billionaire also suggested that the US Federal Reserve will cease its aggressive interest rate hike policy. A lot of experts have previously believed that such a move may be good for the entire cryptocurrency business and raise the value of BTC.  In a recent interview for CNBC, he vowed to always have exposure, praising its fixed supply of 21 million coins ever to exist: “From the beginning, I’ve always said I want to have a small allocation to it because it’s a great tail event. It’s the only thing that humans can’t adjust the supply in. So I’m sticking with it; I’m going to always stick with it. It’s just a small diversif Read more about I Will Always Stick With Bitcoin: American Billionaire Paul Tudor Jones III #Bitcoin, #Cryptonewst...

Crypto retail trading should be regulated as gambling: UK lawmakers

Image
In a recent report, a group of British MPs recommended that trading in so-called "unbacked cryptoassets" like Bitcoin and Ether be treated more like gambling than a financial activity. Currently, the UK is developing a framework for regulating cryptocurrencies that combines current laws governing financial assets with new crypto-specific regulations. However, the U.K. Treasury Committee "strongly recommended" regulating retail cryptocurrency trading and investment activities as gambling in a report to the House of Commons Committee on May 17. This recommendation was in line with the adage "same risk, same regulatory outcome." It argued the price volatility and lack of intrinsic value mean unbacked crypto assets will “inevitably pose significant risks to consumers.” According to Treasury Committee Chair Harriett Baldwin, Bitcoin an Read more about Crypto retail trading should be regulated as gambling: UK lawmakers #Bitcoin, #Cryptocurrency, #Cryptomarket, #...

Paul Tudor Jones Predicts Potential Stock Price Recovery as Fed Pauses Rate Hikes

Image
Billionaire investor and hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones believe that a halt in the United States Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate hikes could benefit stock prices. According to Jones, declining inflation readings over the past year suggest that the Fed may stop tightening in the coming months, potentially leading to an increase in the prices of risk assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Although BTC prices are sensitive to macroeconomic factors, an accommodative monetary environment could increase the funds available for investment in riskier assets. Jones expects stock prices to recover gradually by the end of 2023 but is not excessively bullish. Some commentators attribute the current state of monetary policy to the banking industry's recent troubles, with some banks blaming the Fed's rate hikes Read more about Paul Tudor Jones Predicts Potential Stock Price Recovery as Fed Pauses Rate Hikes #Adoption, #Altcoin, #Bitcoin, #Blockchain, #Cryp...
