Fundstrat Global Advisors&#39; Thomas Lee shares his take on Bitcoin&#39;s rally pic.twitter.com\/bQ0nIFssSW &mdash; Power Lunch (@PowerLunch) July 9, 2019 Bitcoin is Caviar For Hedge Funds Speaking to CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Power Lunch&#8221; panel, Tom Lee of Fundstrat laid out three primary reasons why Bitcoin has and could continue to see growth. First off, Lee explains that Bitcoin is becoming increasingly attractive to institutions, especially hedge funds, many of which are underperforming key indices due to their risk-averse nature. The staunch cryptocurrency bull points out that if a fund added 2% of BTC at the start of the year, their portfolio would already be up 400 basis points. This, in the current economy, is &#8220;caviar for hedge funds&#8221;, according to Lee. What&#8217;s interesting is that hedge funds are reported to be behind this rally. Per previous reports from NewsBTC, a report from FN London explained the following on the matter of BTC rallying and outperforming altcoins: \u201cMacro managers and high net worth individuals are generally, in my experience, focused almost entirely on Bitcoin.&#8221; There is still a ways to go. For some perspective, Winton, a British investment management firm, estimates that hedge funds worldwide hold a minimum of $3 trillion in assets. The entire value of the cryptocurrency asset class is around 10% of that. Insurance Against Macroeconomic, Fiscal Risk Secondly, Bitcoin is increasingly finding value and proving itself as a hedge against macroeconomic and fiscal risk. You&#8217;ve already seen that in Hong Kong, where LocalBitcoins volume has spiked and local exchanges have registered premiums due to the protests against the government. In Turkey, BTC has already hit new all-time highs against the Turkish Lira because of hyperinflation and a need for money that is relatively sound. And, Bitcoin is being widely acknowledged as a hedge by notable mainstream media personalities, Silicon Valley\/Wall Street investors, and economists. Facebook has Validated Crypto And lastly, Facebook has ensured the survival of the crypto industry with Libra. And, more importantly, the launch of the corporate, Silicon Valley coin should be a boon for Bitcoin. Libra further validates the idea that digital money is a viable technology, building on the work of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even ventures like JP Morgan Coin. Few consumers have actually adopted cryptocurrency, despite the fact that it occupies the front pages of newspapers and headlines of digital outlets across the globe.
