Could institutional investors begin expanding into altcoin purchases? BlockFi'south vice-president for Europe and Asia, David Olsson, mentioned liquidity as a component of consideration.

Some digital avails on the marketplace, including newer ones, may see high volumes at times. "The question is, how long can that be sustained," Olsson explained during a Cfc St. Moritz briefing segment on Wed, calculation:

"Chainlink (LINK) is 1 that has held up decent book over time, but a lot of them tend to, you know, exist kind of the side by side greatest thing, and then fizzle out and volume disappears."

Ethereum (ETH) sits correct below Bitcoin with a market place cap of roughly $152 billion. Tether (USDT) is in third at approximately $24 billion, and Polkadot (DOT) in quaternary with about $fifteen billion. At 100th on the listing, Lisk (LSK) holds a marketplace cap of about $186 million. Thousands of other crypto avails have market caps which descend from there.

Olsson said of prospective altcoins:

"So I think that, from our trading desk perspective, nosotros really want to see kind of one year trading history where the market place cap is sort of nearish $1 billion and that it's at least trading sort of $100 million a day in volume and that the sources of liquidity are reliable in terms of the exchanges where they're trading."

The crypto industry still has its skeptics, however, including billionaire Mark Cuban, who recently compared crypto assets to the dot-com chimera of the late 90s and early on 00s.
