Solomon expressed optimism about the economy, noting its resilience as the new administration begins its term.

He reaffirmed his confidence in the dollar’s stability and described Bitcoin as a speculative asset, rather than a currency capable of challenging the dominance of traditional fiat systems.

Solomon also hinted at a potential shift in Goldman Sachs’ stance on cryptocurrencies, acknowledging that if regulatory frameworks evolve, the firm might consider exploring Bitcoin and Ethereum markets.

While Solomon has been a vocal critic of Bitcoin in the past, his comments suggest a cautious openness to adapting as the regulatory landscape changes.
