What else did Novogratz add? Herewith, the head of Galaxy Digital noted that acceptance of bitcoin among institutional investors and financial institutions has not yet reached the necessary level. He added that there are still many organizations in Europe, the Middle East, and the United States that do not use digital assets. Earlier, Novogratz said that one of the conditions for the recovery of the crypto market would be the purchase of bitcoins by international hedge funds in the field of traditional finance.

As of July 20, 10:00 UTC, BTC is trading at $23 612, having gained 7,86% per day, according to Binance.
