Cryptocurrencies in the “waiting room”: Raoul Pal’s opinion

Political Tensions and the Role of Institutions The recent price pullback, according to Cardozo, was not caused by internal dynamics within the blockchain, but rather by the political tensions between President Trump and the Federal Reserve. Despite this scenario, the positioning of institutional investors remains solid: their allocations on bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies show no signs of weakness, even in the presence of…
