Hedge Funds: The Quiet Stakeholders in Crypto

It’s fascinating how hedge funds have dipped their toes into the crypto universe, isn’t it? With a staggering industry size of over $3.2 trillion, you’d think they’d be all over this digital gold rush! However, only a select few, like the Digital Currency Group, have splashed some serious cash across more than 130 crypto projects, averaging around $3.24 million per seed round. Their subsidiary, Grayscale Investments, is currently staring at a shiny $2.7 billion in assets. But let’s be real, that’s still a tiny speck compared to the overall hedge fund pool!

Just imagine if even a sliver of that trillion-dollar pie were to trickle into cryptocurrencies; the price of digital assets would be popping like confetti at a New Year’s celebration!

Ethereum Classic: The Future of Branding?

ETC is on the move, and if they really ditch the ‘Ethereum’, they might just be onto something! With the price wobbling in the $3.40 to $10 range, the potential for breakout or breakdown is palpable.
