U.S. Crypto Rules Set Stage for Institutional Growth: Mike Novogratz
Mike Novogratz sees recent U.S. regulatory changes as a pivotal moment for crypto, highlighting the OCC's move to integrate banks, the SEC's softened stance, and growing government support for stablecoins.
He believes these shifts will drive institutional adoption, though crypto markets remain sluggish due to cautious investors, declining meme coin speculation, and a lack of new Web3 breakthroughs.
Additionally, the SEC and CFTC are easing enforcement, while major exchanges like Kraken and Gemini prepare for IPOs. Despite short-term hurdles, Novogratz remains bullish, noting Bitcoin must surpass $91,000 for a full recovery.
He also pointed out that the U.S. government’s decision to recognize stablecoins as a financial tool strengthens the dollar’s global influence while signaling a more crypto-friendly regulatory landscape.

This shift, he suggests, could encourage other major economies to follow suit, further legitimizing digital assets in traditional finance. Meanwhile, the relaxation of restrictions on banks engaging with crypto services is expected to unlock new capital inflows and accelerate mainstream adoption.
Despite this optimism, Novogratz acknowledges that crypto markets still face challenges. The market frenzy of late 2024, fueled by major events like the high-profile Crypto Ball, has since cooled, with institutional investors taking a more measured approach.
Additionally, economic shifts in China and the broader U.S. stock market have dampened momentum. Still, he believes that once new narratives emerge—such as advancements in Web3 technology or fresh retail interest—the crypto industry will enter its next major growth phase.
