Investors able to
stomach volatility
Amid the downturn in the
market, the research identified potential drivers for investors to show
resilience and continue betting on different assets. According to the research
report:
“Notably, the growth
indicates the investors in question can stomach the volatility. Such investors
likely understand crypto is still an emerging asset class and technology whose
impact on the general finance sector is yet to be fully known. In this line,
some investors opt to ignore the short-term price volatility and focus on
potential future growth.”
However, there still
lingers uncertainty that might impact the general crypto market. Notably, the
extent of the prevailing macroeconomic factors and the regulatory debate will
potentially influence the continued involvement in the sector.
