The CEO of the largest U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange believes the digital asset sector is entering a pivotal phase.
In a recent interview on CNBC, Brian Armstrong shared his optimism about the future of crypto, particularly following Donald Trump’s election victory and the rise of pro-crypto lawmakers. He believes the outcome of the recent election positions the U.S. for significant progress in the industry, calling it the “dawn of a new crypto era.”
Armstrong emphasized the role of Bitcoin (BTC) in the market’s growth, noting its recent record surge past $90,000. Despite the increasing variety of crypto assets, he believes Bitcoin remains central to the industry’s long-term success, with ample potential for further growth.
He also pointed out that ongoing economic challenges, such as inflation and rising deficits, are fueling the demand for Bitcoin, positioning it as a safeguard against fiscal instability.
Armstrong argued that Bitcoin serves as a check on excessive government spending, helping to protect the value of the dollar and maintain the U.S.’s position as the global reserve currency.
A new analysis from crypto services firm Matrixport suggests that Bitcoin’s current rally is being powered by strong spot market interest rather than high-risk speculation, marking a shift toward more stable market dynamics.
A major crypto investor has made waves in the derivatives market, opening one of the largest long positions ever seen on a decentralized exchange.
Bitcoin has surged to a new record high, breaking past $109,000, after a significant bullish push.
Momentum is building across the digital asset space as Bitcoin edges closer to its previous peak near $109,000, igniting renewed speculation about whether a broader altcoin surge is about to follow.
