Genesis Trading Sees 'Strong Signs' of Institutional Crypto Investment Growth Accelerating Next Year

Genesis Trading’s head of market insights says that the institutional investment growth in the crypto space over the last 12 months “has been astonishing.” The executive added: “We’re seeing strong signs of that accelerating over the next year.”

Strong Signs of Institutional Investment Growth Accelerating Next Year

Noelle Acheson, head of market insights at Genesis Trading, shared her outlook for the cryptocurrency market and what investors should expect heading into 2022 with CNBC Tuesday. She said:

The institutional growth over the last 12 months has been astonishing. We’re seeing strong signs of that accelerating over the next year.

Genesis Trading is a full-service digital currency prime brokerage. The firm offers market participants a fully integrated platform to trade, borrow, lend, and custody digital assets. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Currency Group (DCG), one of the largest private investors in blockchain and digital asset companies.

Acheson explained that the institutional investment growth will come from both investments directly in tokens and companies in the crypto ecosystem. She added that investments in crypto market infrastructure companies are likely to accelerate given “the amount of money out there looking for returns.”

She explained that institutional investors are expanding their interest beyond bitcoin and ether into smaller and risker cryptocurrencies to diversify their portfolios.

“One of the big developments over the past 12 months was the migration of bitcoin mining from China. A lot of that went to the United States … Even more significantly for the bitcoin market directly is the access this gives bitcoin miners to financing,” Acheson further opined.

Other indicators that institutional adoption of cryptocurrency is growing include a survey by Nickel Digital Asset Management showing that 82% of institutional investors and wealth managers are planning to increase their cryptocurrency exposure between now and 2023. Institutional investors are warming up to crypto despite expecting a major correction in the crypto market.

In October, global investment bank JPMorgan said that “institutional investors appear to be returning to bitcoin perhaps seeing it as a better inflation hedge than gold.” A growing number of large banks are offering crypto products and services to their clients due to high demand. US Bank, for example, said in October that it is launching crypto custody services due to strong demand from institutional clients.

P2P Bitcoin Traders in Nigeria Think Outside the Box in the Wake of CBN Restrictions

After the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a directive targeting the country’s cryptocurrency industry, bitcoin and altcoin trade volumes on centralized exchanges immediately plunged. Nevertheless, the new regulations seem to have succeeded in boosting crypto trade volumes on informal markets or on peer-to-peer trading platforms. Nigerian Crypto Traders Get Creative Still, the increasing trades on informal platforms have also led to increased reports of users losing money to con artists. Moreover, with the CBN seemingly eager to see volumes of crypto trades plummet, Nigerian users had to find ingenious but legal ways of getting around the central bank’s imposed restrictions. As shown in one local report , one such legal way is through an app created by one local crypto start-up, Patricia. According to the report, this application is already enabling Nigerian users to buy or sell their crypto assets securely and without running afoul of CBN regulations. Therefore, in this repor...

The Jacobin Podcast episode called: “ Dig: Cryptocurrency w/ Edward Ongweso Jr & Jacob Silverman, ” touches upon “cryptocurrency, NFTs, Elon Musk, the metaverse, meme stocks, and techno-utopianism amid the crushing reality of our neoliberal hellscape.” Cryptocurrency isn’t fringe technology anymore. Over the last decade, it has become embedded into finance, culture, and even our social life. It’s drastically changing the way we think about money, economics, and human action. However, some people, primarily on the left, are skeptical of cryptocurrency. Many of them hate it, regardless of how much of a godsend it has been for many. My friend, thought leader, author, and psychedelic visionar...
