According to ChainCatcher, according to Crowdfund Insider, Bitstamp CEO Jean-Baptiste Graftieaux said that 2024 will be a year of change in the digital asset field. The exchange was acquired by Robinhood for US$200 million last year.
Jean-Baptiste Graftieaux predicts that by 2025, cryptocurrencies will strengthen, gain global acceptance, and that the industry’s fundamentals will remain strong, explaining: “The incoming US administration’s positive attitude towards cryptocurrencies, coupled with expected macroeconomic improvements, could drive up digital asset values while maintaining their appeal as an inflation hedge. ETFs are a game changer in 2024, making cryptocurrency investments more accessible to retail and institutional investors alike. This trend is likely to continue, supported by new US regulations and the launch of Europe’s MiCA, which aims to increase market transparency.”
