Citadel Securities and the Crypto Market

The firm is considering becoming a market maker for some major cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase. It plans to start activities outside the US while observing regulatory developments in the country.

James Lavish's Opinion

Former hedge fund manager James Lavish highlighted the importance of this development, advising market participants not to be distracted by noise but to focus on its significance.

With over $60 billion of assets and one of the 10 largest hedge funds in the world, Citadel is now looking to make markets in Bitcoin and crypto. Do not let the noise drown out the signal. This is signal.

Ken Griffin's Shift in Crypto Perspective

Ken Griffin, CEO of Citadel, was previously skeptical of Bitcoin, likening it to 'tulip bulb mania' in 2017. However, in 2022, he admitted he was wrong about cryptocurrencies and acknowledged their significance.

Citadel Securities' entry into the cryptocurrency market could be a significant step in industry development, attracting attention from other major financial institutions.
