Mike Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd., has expressed optimism regarding the return of traditional institutional investors to the cryptocurrency market, especially in the aftermath of last year's upheaval in the digital-asset world.
During the company's second-quarter earnings conference call on Tuesday, Novogratz highlighted the institutional resurgence in various sectors of the crypto market, noting that their interest isn't limited to futures or specific stocks but extends to more foundational levels of the market.
On the topic of Tether, the largest stablecoin with a market value of $84 billion, Novogratz conveyed a reassuring tone. He firmly believes that the risk of a major run on Tether is minimal, a sentiment sometimes challenged due to fears emerging from the market.
While expressing high confidence in Tether's ability to cover its liabilities, Novogratz did acknowledge potential "skirmishes around the sidelines" owing to the stablecoin's less transparent offshore operations.
