New funds equals more demand!   Good stuff!

this from the crypto coins goes up, so you have to be updated on this topic to be able to invest ..

If I was already a millionaire I wouldn't risk lots of my money in this space when I could do something much safer and maintain my millionaire status...
However I am not a millionaire :)

It is an exciting scenario here!
If bitcoin just captures gold’s market cap we are talking about almost 500k per coin, considering it is not only a store of value like gold but also a global transactional currency...well, this thing is potentially huge

Thank you for the updates !

This is both good and bad news, imho! Look what they did in the mortgage market in the US. If this takes off, with leverage and deritives, it will increase prices but will add a lot of volatility to an already volatile market.

BTC is going wild right now and the past weeks. Do you think that we'll pass Facebook, Google...?

Thanks for sharing. This asset class definitely has room to grow.

You may be right but pension funds and other large funds do not like huge volatility in prices.
They probably be more likely to invest if there is a steady increase in price.

"Think pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies and major endowment money. All of which still haven't really started to dip their toes in yet

But what if they do?"   

Then we become... **TOO BIG TO FAIL**

Come visit! I have interesting topics

Good informative post on the macro level. I'm a financial industry exec and new here on Steem and to crypto (got in over the course of the last month). What's interesting is that I see alot of colleagues (bankers, financial planners, investors etc) and friends at other firms getting in, but all at small increments (to them). I'd say $5K on average, usually half into Bitcoin, some Ethereum, and if they've done research some into one or two other altcoins in case they catch a flyer on an upshot. I see 100-200 people alone getting in by year's end and if you do the math that's a quarter million in added capitalization just from South Florida where I live.  I can see a big upswing for the rest of 2018. Will be  watching...

The first money from Wall Street to roll in will be from the gamblers...the true speculators.  These are the guys who buy anything off the normal path in search of huge returns.  They roll the dice and let it fly.

That will drive prices up, especially for BTC since that will reduce their risk a bit.  After that, you should see volatility settle down a bit which brings the next wave of Wall Street money, the smart forefunners.  These are the ones who always seem ahead of the rest of the crowd.

This, of course, will raise the prices while reducing volatility, which means the main part of the Street money enters...and that is the golden goose...TRILLIONS.....

3rd try.

The big pensions funds will probably start venturing into the crypto markets once the market cap of bitcoin surpasses either Apple or Amazon. 

The big pension funds are very conservative, so they will let the speculative hedge funds take the lead.

Just as with some news like those that came from China they made a lot of money out of the crypto space. Other news or events can also have the opposite effect and exponentially increase the flow of money seeking shelter in the crypto.

of course there always have to make more derivatives....

Great Post very interesting information ;)

I believe you are right, this is only the beginning! Once Wall Street accepts cryptos as investment opportunities, things are really beginning to point in the direction of mainstream adoption!
