Episode notes
Institutional Flows Don't Remove Volatility
- Institutional flows and ETFs haven't removed crypto's volatility or its tight correlation to tech stocks.
- Santiago warns the asset class still behaves like a levered Nasdaq play and will react to tech earnings and policy news.
Low Liquidity Amplifies Noise
- Low liquidity means little is required to move prices sharply in crypto markets.
- Santiago emphasizes that scarcity of liquidity makes the market 'a tweet away' from large dumps or rallies.
Plan For Durable Institutional Adoption
- Don't assume crypto's regulatory and market changes are reversible; institutional entry is durable.
- Santiago suggests businesses plan for long-term integration with traditional finance rather than expecting a retreat.
