Goldman Sachs and Bitcoin
When asked about possible Bitcoin trading under a Trump administration, Solomon mentioned existing regulatory restrictions that prevent Goldman Sachs from owning Bitcoin. 'At the moment, from the regulatory perspective, we can’t own, we can’t be involved with Bitcoin,' he explained.
Changing Bitcoin Regulations
As debates on Bitcoin's impact on the global financial system continue, many banks are increasing their Bitcoin investments. Goldman Sachs has made significant investments in Bitcoin-related financial products, despite refraining from direct ownership of the asset.
Solomon reaffirms faith in the U.S. dollar and highlights Bitcoin's role in asset diversification, emphasizing existing regulatory barriers.
