Bitcoin has tapped into an enormous market worth $84 trillion, according to billionaire Mike Novogratz, the CEO of Galaxy Digital. Speaking at the Bitcoin Investor Day event in New York, Novogratz emphasized that the recent approval of Bitcoin spot market exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has significantly contributed to the cryptocurrency’s adoption. He suggested that ETF salesmen will have no trouble selling Bitcoin to participants in the $84 trillion market, pointing to the massive debt accumulated by the US government as a motivating factor. Novogratz highlighted that the adoption of Bitcoin is currently overwhelming, driven by the large number of US baby boomers who invest through registered investment advisors. He noted that major platforms like Morgan Stanley have yet to start actively selling Bitcoin, but they are making preparations to do so. Novogratz also stated that Bitcoin is always sold, rather than bought, and that understanding its value proposition typically requires a detailed explanation. He attributed Bitcoin’s popularity to the macroeconomic story behind it, namely governments overspending and devaluing their currencies. The current US national debt stands at around $34.578 trillion.
