Galaxy’s Steve Kurz sees ‘great convergence’ driving crypto’s long-term outlook
The firm's asset-management chief says the recent crypto selloff reflects healthy deleveraging, while infrastructure growth and institutional adoption support a bullish outlook.
Bilinmesi gerekenler:
- Recent declines in crypto were driven by liquidity and leverage unwinds, not systemic failure, marking a more mature cycle than 2022, with most forced selling likely behind the market, according to Galaxy Digital's Steve Kurz.
- Stablecoins, tokenization and blockchain integration with traditional finance are accelerating, positioning crypto as both a financial asset and core financial rail.
- Kurz said he does not expect a V-shaped recovery, but sees range-bound trading followed by gradual gains as institutional capital deepens and the “great convergence” between crypto and traditional finance continues.
