Alan Howard makes crypto investments in May’s cryptocurrencies panic sell-off
Alan Howard now joins a string of billionaire investors who have recently embraced cryptocurrencies. As we have reported, Ray Dalio famously prefers cryptocurrencies to bonds, Carl Icahn thinks cryptocurrencies are here to stay and Paul Tutor Jones has also invested in cryptocurrencies.
Moreover, the cryptocurrencies space could soon see a fresh inflow of capital from Germany, which recently passed a law allowing “Spezialfonds,” or special funds, to invest as much as 20% of their portfolios in crypto.
Theoretically, $415 billions of capital inflow from Germany, Europe’s largest economy with one of the world’s largest surpluses, could flow into the cryptocurrencies
So, with almost half a trillion USD now authorized to flow into cryptocurrencies from Germany the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies could easily surpass 2T USD.
Last month, June 2021, El Salvador made history when they voted to make Bitcoin legal tender, the first country in the world to recognize such terms.
