Bitcoin Price In A Turbulent Week: This Crypto Market Strategist Weighs In

Bitcoin, the world’s largest and most well-known cryptocurrency, has had a tumultuous past few days, and according to Mike McGlone, a senior macro strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, the volatility in the BTC market could very well impact other risk assets. McGlone believes that BTC’s influence on the market has become contagious, and as a result, other risk assets could be negatively affected if the price of BTC continues to decline. McGlone’s comments are a reflection of the growing awareness of BTC’s influence on the global economy. As BTC continues to gain mainstream acceptance and adoption, its movements are being closely watched by investors and policymakers alike.

As such, regulators must take swift action to mitigate the risks associated with the market’s volatility and ensure its stability. -Featured image from Global News
