Overview

Mike Novogratz is positioning the current downturn as a transition point: crypto’s high-return, speculation-led phase may be giving way to more mainstream financial use cases built on “crypto rails,” including real-world asset tokenization—implying a lower-return, more risk-averse market regime as traditional finance expands its blockchain footprint.
