The Rise of the Institutional Investors
Crypto prices in 2021 skyrocketed due to the foray of institutional investors in the field. Many institutional investors entered the bitcoin world in 2021 sending the price to an all time high. However since then the price has fallen considerably, due to environmental concerns over crypto mining.
Tesla, Microstrategy were amongst the only high-profile public companies that invested in bitcoin. However, with Victory Capital moves it seems as if other companies might also be interested in investing. This is also very good news for crypto enthusiasts as any positive cash flow into bitcoin might mean its return to its highs.
