Why Bitcoin's Surge Signals a New Crypto Golden Age
Bitcoin surged past $112,000 for the first time, reflecting a broader risk asset rally fueled by optimism and institutional interest.
Matthew Tuttle, CEO and CIO at Tuttle Capital Management, explains that this rally marks the start of a "golden age of crypto," driven by a uniquely pro-crypto U.S. administration and greater regulatory clarity.
He emphasizes that crypto is now a "must-own" asset class for investors seeking growth rather than a hedge, and institutional players are increasingly joining the market alongside retail investors.
Tuttle notes that Bitcoin holds an inverse but not perfectly consistent correlation with the U.S. dollar, serving as an alternative currency and complementing gold as an inflation hedge.
The outlook is bullish with expectations of continued gains in Bitcoin and other substantial cryptocurrencies due to this new wave of market dynamics and regulatory support.
