- 1 Deciphering the real meaning behind Paul Tudor’s statement
- 2 The future of Bitcoin adoption across the US
In a recent interview with the popular news channel CNBC, prominent hedge fund manager Paul Tudor claimed that Bitcoin faces a real problem in the US. According to him, the whole regulatory committee of the US is designed to be against Bitcoin. Previously, he had stated that Bitcoin was an attractive inflationary hedge when inflation soared to record levels in the US. Tudor had even stated in 2020 that he might allocate 5% of his assets to Bitcoin. However, since then, he has stated that inflation will continue to come down which will make the crypto market less bullish.
Statement analysis of Paul Tudor
Before inflation had started to make waves across the US financial markets, Bitcoin showed its true capabilities by touching an all-time high of $68,000. However, since then, Bitcoin has gone through a lot of controversy that has butchered its price down to $27,000. After such hard times, people who had never sold their assets were the ones most affected by the price fluctuation.
The sudden introduction of inflation and its never-ending vicious cycle was one of the prime reasons behind why Bitcoin failed to adapt. Moreover, the SEC in the US has cracked down on multiple cryptocurrency exchanges because of their links to scams or because of internal problems. It even refused to recognize crypto as a security like stocks in the US.
Therefore, jurisdiction regarding crypto has passed onto the shoulders of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The debate on whether Bitcoin is a commodity or security still continues to this day. These might be a few of the reasons why Paul Tudor has claimed that Bitcoin faces a real problem in the US.
Future of Bitcoin in the US
The US lawmakers have continued pushing several bills across the Senate to simplify cryptocurrency regulations around the country. Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York have pledged themselves to reaffirm such a bill regarding Bitcoin.
The stance taken by Paul Tudor may further damage the image of Bitcoin in the whole of the US. Even before he made these statements about Bitcoin, the SEC was already on its tail after the recent collapse of FTX. Such events across the crypto domain and the ongoing investigation of Coinbase by the SEC have further fuelled this fire.
Until the FED stops going after cryptocurrency exchanges and inflation slows down, Bitcoin prices will fluctuate. Only new regulatory laws implemented around the whole country can make Bitcoin a safe bet among present investors.
Conclusion
The market around crypto is known to sometimes pump-and-dump, based on the statements of famous people in this domain. Hence, this claim made by Paul Todor about Bitcoin facing a real problem in the US may have dealt a heavy blow to its adoption across the nation.
