Bikini Is a Great Entry Point for Institutional Investors

In a new Bloomberg interview, Bitcoin Bull and Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor unveils two factors that he says are contributing to the volatility experienced by the crypto markets so far this year.

“I think that there’s a lot of dynamics here. If you look at the entire crypto ecosystem, you have a set of regulatory uncertainty, especially regulatory uncertainty around stablecoins and crypto tokens and whether or not they’re securities. And that creates a little bit of anxiety.

You have a lot of leverage offshore. You have a lot of crypto exchanges that can trade with up to 20x leverage. And those crypto exchanges have many, many tokens that are cross-collateralized. Between them and the decentralized finance [DeFi] exchanges, you can get much higher than 20x leverage. So that’s the second source of volatility.”
