However, not everyone is bearish on the market as Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz expects the market to turn bullish soon, and he gives reasons for why he believes this will happen. Reasons Why Bitcoin Will Begin A Bull Rally Novogratz was interviewed on CNBC\u2019s Squawk Box on Thursday, June 1, where he gave his opinions on the Bitcoin and crypto market and where he expects the market to go. Contrary to the current market trend, the CEO remains very bullish on the digital asset and expects a bull trend going off some developments in the market right now.

Not only this but the largest social messaging platform in China, WeChat, began offering Bitcoin price data to users, allowing them to check the current price of BTC in yuan. Both of these, Novogratz says, will be a catalyst for the bitcoin bull market. “Crypto’s lackadaisical right now. There’s a constant bid from retail. We’re seeing it through all the platforms,” the Galaxy Digital CEO told CNBC.

As the Fed maintains its hawkish stance to tackle inflation, risk assets such as stocks and BTC continue to suffer but this could quickly change if the Fed becomes dovish.

As the Fed drops interest rates, so will interest in Bitcoin rise, leading to a rapid surge in price. Given this, Novogratz expects investing in Bitcoin to be a better decision than buying a one-year T-bill. As for institutions, he points to the fact that they have reduced their participation in the market but this does not mean they\u2019re gone. Novogratz believes the institutions will return to the second when \u201cone of two things happens. You either need settled and sensible rules in place for crypto. Or you need the Republicans to win next year\u2019s U.S. elections.\u201d He further added that \u201cCrypto has almost overnight become a crazily partisan issue, which is exactly what the industry didn\u2019t want or need.\u201d At the time of writing, Bitcoin is still struggling in the market, trading at $27,087 with meager gains of 0.77% in the last day.
