Brett Harrison says the altcoin market will exploit Bitcoin
FTX.US president Brett Harrison in a recent interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box Ethereum (ETH) and Smart contract giants like Solana (SOL) are cutting the market share of the leading crypto. According to Harrison, Bitcoin’s dominance will continue to decline over time. Harrison shares how he envisions the scenario:
When we talk about Bitcoin dominance, we’re talking about the percentage of market cap and market fluctuations from Bitcoin that has been declining over time. In terms of market cap, infrastructures like Ethereum, other alternative PoS Blockchains like Solana, and various other alternative theologies appear to be on the rise. Over time, we will see less and less of the entire market share come from a single cryptocurrency, only Bitcoin.
Harrison discusses why institutional investors are not entering the crypto market as quickly as they had hoped. According to the CEO, the world’s wealthiest investors await more regulatory clarity before investing in cryptocurrencies:
We’ve had hundreds of conversations with pension funds, family offices, and big banks looking to get into crypto; all their staff are specifically interested in crypto, but the firms themselves are not. It’s a matter of compliance and regulation, and many are waiting for more regulatory certainty in the US and surrounding exchanges like ours before they act.
