June 27, 2022
News Digest:
The ongoing downturn in the crypto landscape is a “little bit” similar to the rapid collapse of Long Term Capital Management moment in the late 1990s, Michael Novogratz, chief executive of Galaxy Digital and a long-time crypto investor, has said.
Takeaway:
Similar to the unwinding of LTCM, which was massively geared and had deep connections with several Wall Street banks, the crypto ecosystem is presently undergoing an “accelerated deleveraging” with large-scale repercussions, Novogratz argued.
