Bridgewater Associates<\/span>, which manages about $150 billion in assets, may consider investments in Bitcoin as volatility declines, liquidity grows and regulatory clarity improves. <\/span>This was stated by the company’s chief analyst Rebecca Patterson on a Bloomberg TV interview<\/span> Bloomberg TV<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During the interview, the executive said that Bitcoin’s current price moves of about 10% per day from a single tweet are ten times the volatility of the U.S. dollar and twice that of the Venezuelan bolivar.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“You need less volatility and greater price stability when you view the asset as a ‘safe haven’ and a diversification opportunity”<\/span><\/i>, she explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Other barriers include low liquidity and an unclear regulatory stance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“With tighter supervision of the crypto ecosystem, it will bring more comfort to investors. It will provide liquidity and temper volatility. Perhaps this is what should happen first. But I won’t pretend to judge when regulatory clarity will arise in the U.S.”<\/span><\/i>, Patterson lamented.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the interview, the chief analyst of Bridgewater Associates said that she views Bitcoin as digital gold and does not consider it appropriate to compare it with fiat currencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier, the founder of Bridgewater Associates and crypto-skeptic Ray Dalio said that the first cryptocurrency became interesting as an alternative to gold<\/a>. Later, his firm allowed for investments in a digital asset<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recall that JPMorgan analysts recommended their clients to move 1% of their investment portfolios into Bitcoin<\/a> and other digital assets as a hedge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier, experts at the financial holding criticized Bitcoin for its volatility<\/a>. They called this an obstacle<\/a> to corporations placing liquidity reserves in Bitcoin.<\/span><\/p>\n
