Summary
We’re all waiting for the crypto market to break into a bull market. But in the meantime, altcoins are having a nice run – including some coins from the Crypto Asset Strategies portfolio.
Altcoins have undergone a major shift in the eyes of investors. As flimsy projects lose investors, the stronger coins are gaining steam and are increasingly being viewed as more trustworthy investments. But what does that mean for bitcoin?
The launch of Bakkt, the crypto trading platform backed by Intercontinental Exchange, is once again facing regulatory delays. The CFTC is getting cold feet a little late in the game. But Adam Sharp says Fidelity is the one to keep an eye on.
Bakkt has also released a list of 58 coins it will be tracking. Adam is surprised by some of the coins that made the list – and those that didn’t.
To check in on the mainstream media’s grip on crypto, Andy Gordon rates a recent CNBC headline on a fake news scale. He and Adam agree that the headline’s phrasing is a problem. But they disagree on a larger issue.
