Ran Neu-Ner, host of CNBC’s CryptoTrader, compared this morning’s healthy outlook with early January’s bullish markets:
Mid to long-term crypto market sentiment remains bullish, particularly among VC investors. The CEO of crypto hedge fund Pantera Capital, forecast that the crypto market could hit “$40 trln" within ten years, in a Bloomberg interview earlier this week. Tech giant IBM broke news twice with Blockchain-focused initiatives, signalling that major tech industry players are edging closer towards realizing real world Blockchain applications.
