As the crypto market continues establishes new year-to-date lows, some claim that the arrival of institutional investors is the\u00a0only catalyst that will be able to push prices in a positive direction. And although the climate around institutional interest suffered a slight setback on Wednesday, optimists believe that Wall Street isn’t over Bitcoin just yet.<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs Pushes Back Crypto Trading Desk Plans, Analyst Unfazed<\/h2>\n

On Wednesday morning, the hopes of many were quashed, as news broke<\/a> that Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs had put its plans to establish a crypto trading desk on the back burner. Although this news was undoubtedly\u00a0bearish,\u00a0many glossed over the fact that Goldman Sachs still intends to offer BTC futures and custody in the near future, leading pessimists to claim that Wall Street had formally ended its ties with crypto.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, there are some that remain unfazed, including Mitch Steves, an analyst at the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), who recently appeared on CNBC Fast Money<\/a> to explain why Goldman’s move isn’t “a really big concern.”<\/p>\n
