Experienced Wall Street investor Jordy Visser on weighed Bitcoins (CRYPTO: BTC) recent crash on Friday, highlighting that the cryptocurrency remains inextricably linked to developments in the traditional financial world.
Are institutional investors losing interest in Bitcoin?
During an interview with entrepreneur and investor Anthony PomplianoVisser was asked about the factors causing the ongoing Bitcoin crash. Visser said he was “losing money” like everyone else.
“You can’t separate Bitcoin from traditional finance. You just can’t,” he said.
Bitcoin lacks a ‘fundamental story’
He argued that if institutional investors, such as pension funds or sovereign wealth funds, could earn similar or better returns from the world’s largest “liquid companies,” they would not be tempted to invest in Bitcoin.
Visser, a macro investor with more than 30 years of professional market experience, said Bitcoin still lacks a strong “fundamental story” to broaden its appeal.
It is striking that Bitcoin has fallen by more than 26% in the past year The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETFwhich provides equal-weighted exposure to the “Mag 7” technology companies, has delivered returns of over 15%.
Moreover, experienced analyst Trader Mayne argued that Bitcoin is the only crypto asset worth holding for the long term, warning that about 99% of altcoins are built to transfer wealth from retail investors to insiders.
What other analysts say
Visser’s comments followed Bitcoin’s sharp sell-off last week, when it narrowly avoided falling below $60,000. The top cryptocurrency has since risen above $70,000, but remains 43% below its all-time high.
The crash roiled investors, wiping more than $2 trillion from the global crypto market since its peak in early October.
However, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan projected that a deep, prolonged crash like the cryptocurrency winter of 2022 is unlikely, even if volatility persists.
