In a recent Twitter thread, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz shared his recent thoughts on the state of the cryptocurrency industry, arguing that crypto and blockchain have enough potential to reshape the world in unimaginable ways.
He says that President Joe Biden’s much-talked-about executive order is “welcomed engagement” from the White House.
Many members of the cryptocurrency industry lauded the Biden administration’s plan for regulating the cryptocurrency industry.
As reported by U.Today, the order resulted in a significant spike in the Bitcoin price, but it was short-lived. The flagship cryptocurrency is currently trading below $39,000 on major exchanges.
It gives the industry much-needed legitimacy by directing federal agencies to regulate it. Thus, cryptocurrencies can now be viewed as a standalone investment vehicle instead of merely a tool for speculation.
Alex DovbnyaSome critics, however, pointed to the fact that the text of the EO was rather ambiguous, and it didn’t outline any proactive steps for ensuring the growth of the cryptocurrency industry.
In his thread, Novogratz says that Galaxy Digital is willing to further engage with the administration.
Cross-agency collaboration is key to making the cryptocurrency industry flourish, according to the cryptocurrency mogul. Novogratz also underscored the importance of public-private partnerships.
Last month, the billionaire commented that both Bitcoin and gold are perceived as stores of value that are meant to protect investors against fiat debasement.
He also predicted that non-fungible tokens would outperform cryptocurrencies in 2022.
