An Executive Managing $200 Billion Speaks Out, Secrets Revealed

Bitcoin breaking a record by exceeding the $111,000 level yesterday had a great impact on the cryptocurrency market. While this rise was supported by increasing optimism about regulations in the US, it was also a matter of curiosity how high-income investors positioned this asset in their portfolios. According to Michael Sonnenfeldt, founder and chairman of TIGER 21, ultra-rich investors are considering cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, as a long-term store of value, with some even preferring it to gold. “For some of our members, Bitcoin is neck and neck with gold. It stands out as a store of value like gold, but…

Mastercard says stablecoins still face hurdles to go mainstream

Mastercard’s Chief Product Officer Jorn Lambert says stablecoins are still far from becoming a mainstream payment option. This comes despite all the buzz surrounding the technology. During a call with analysts on Monday, Lambert said stablecoins boast incredible technical potential — fast transactions, 24/7 uptime, low fees, programmability, and immutability. But those features alone don’t make them ready for everyday payments. He noted that people also need a frictionless user experience, broad accessibility, and consumer distribution.

Crypto’s competitive advantage: Saturday ICOs

“Capital goes where it’s treated best.” — Wall Street folk wisdom In this century full of Big Tech successes, Europe’s only big success is Spotify, whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. I mention this because New York is not in Europe. Spotify was founded in Sweden, incorporated in Luxembourg and keeps its accounts in euros.

But Spotify was one of 87 non-US companies that chose to list its shares primarily in the US that year.…
