Citadel Securities ទិញភាគហ៊ុន 5.5% នៅក្នុងធនាគារ Silvergate សម្រាប់ទីផ្សារ

Citadel Securities disclosed that it owns 5.5% of Silvergate bank, which has been negatively impacted by the crypto downturn. The shares were bought for options market making, not as an investment in the bank.

នេះ សេចក្តីប្រកាស of the interest by Citadel Securities helped Silvergate stock to rise in New York trading. While the stock was up by at least 5% in trade on Feb. 14, it has been under pressure since FTX collapsed in 2022.

Big investors looking for a bargain

Citadel Securities isn’t looking for មានទុក្ខព្រួយ crypto assets, at least this SEC filing doesn’t suggest it. But Cathie Wood’s ARK has been scooping up crypto-linked assets, like shares of Coinbase. While the crypto winter bites asset prices in the crypto space, large investors see value, based on their purchases.

Cathie Wood also sees value in some of the major tokens. In recent interviews, Wood expands on why public blockchains, like ethereum, are likely to rise in value over the coming years. According to Wood, blockchain assets are attractive, and by 2030, Bitcoin could be worth as much as $1.4 million.

Does deflation matter?

One of the factors that Wood sees as attractive is the deflationary nature of ethereum. In a post-merge market, the amount of ethereum is falling while the volume of fiat currency is rising. Ethereum provides value to it users and can be used for numerous digital applications.

While a basic economic relationship like supply and demand falls short in many applications, in the case of ethereum, Wood sees it driving ETH prices much higher.

Another factor to consider is faith in fiat currency, as a lack of faith in central bank issues money could act as a tailwind for cryptos in nations where the population loses faith in fiat currency.

In countries like Argentina and Venezuela, the value of cryptos has risen substantially more than in developed nations, as the local currency is seen as less desirable. In addition, cryptos allow people from abroad to remit funds with cryptos, and avoid any capital controls that exist.
