The post ‘TIGER 21’ Wealth Network Invests $6B in Cryptocurrency appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Are cryptocurrencies becoming popular among high-net-worth investors? Some recent developments indicate that the attitude of high-net-worth investors towards crypto has undergone a radical shift. Notably, a recent statement by TIGER 21 founder and chairman Michael Sonnenfeldt aligns well with the aforementioned assumption. TIGER 21’s Bold Crypto Move While speaking with media persons, Sonnenfeldt revealed that cryptocurrencies make up at least 1% to 3% of his firm’s investment portfolio. TIGER 21 handles no less than $200 billion. This means that the firm has approximately $6 billion invested in crypto. Additionally, the TIGER 21 chairman stated that some of its members are fully invested in crypto. TIGER 21 is more like an exclusive club of high-net-worth investors. It operates on an invitation-only model. To be eligible to receive an invitation to the group, one must have at least $20 million worth of investable assets. Currently, the investment firm has no more than 1,600 members. Bitcoin: The New Digital Gold? Interestingly, Sonnenfeldt likened Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, to gold. Highlighting Bitcoin’s capability to combat the threat of economic uncertainty, he pointed out how people in economically shattered countries like Argentina and Lebanon use Bitcoin as a store of value. TIGER 21’s Crypto Investment: A Sign of the Times The political stance in the US towards the cryptocurrency industry shifted in favour of the sector following the victory of Donald Trump over Kamala Harris. The newly inducted Trump administration recently initiated strong measures to establish a clear crypto regulatory framework. Experts think that the initiatives taken by the new US regime to create a clear regulatory framework for digital assets may have influenced many high-net-worth investors to rethink their approach to cryptocurrencies. Beyond Crypto: TIGER 21’s Investment Strategy Though TIGER 21 maintains a welcoming attitude towards new-age investment arenas like cryptocurrencies, it still focuses on traditional assets like real estate and private equity.

In the first two days of the month, the market experienced a considerable fall of 8.09%. Though on February 3, the market climbed by over 3.13%, between February 4 and 5, the market slipped by 5.16%. Currently, the market stands at $3.16T – at least 8.93% below the monthly peak. In conclusion, TIGER 21’s growing crypto investments signal a changing trend among high-net-worth investors. With a shifting US regulatory landscape and increasing recognition of Bitcoin as a store of value, institutional interest in digital assets continues to rise. While crypto remains a small part of TIGER 21’s portfolio, its increasing role suggests that more elite investors may follow suit, shaping the future of crypto adoption in the financial world.

XRP traded relatively quietly on Thursday following a strong performance on Wednesday, when it outperformed the broader cryptocurrency market, rising by 2.5%. The uptick came after CEO Brad Garlinghouse shared a photo of himself with the President-elect, sparking renewed interest in the crypto. Notably, XRP’s impressive performance over the past few months, especially in November when it surged roughly 300%, has reignited interest in the crypto asset, with analysts predicting even higher prices in the near future. On Wednesday, popular analyst “Charting Guy” stated that XRP remains on track for a potential repeat of the extraordinary 63,000% surge it saw in 2017. “For those wondering, $XRP is still technically on track for 2017 if we manage to close the week in the green,” the pundit remarked. His optimism was rooted in XRP’s ability to recover earlier losses and the potential for a strong weekly candle close. Notably, the 2017 XRP bull run remains one of the most significant in cryptocurrency history. At the start of 2017, XRP traded around $0.006, but by early January 2018, it had reached its all-time high of $3.84, marking an astonishing gain of nearly 64,000%. The rise was driven by intense market speculation and the euphoric atmosphere that characterized the cryptocurrency market then. Meanwhile, earlier on Tuesday, veteran trader Peter Brandt weighed in on XRP’s price potential, sharing his view that the current market conditions may indicate another significant rise. Brandt pointed out the formation of a “flag pattern,” a technical indicator suggesting a temporary pause in an asset’s price before continuing the previous trend. According to Brandt, if the flag pattern is completed within six weeks, XRP’s market capitalization could soar to $500 billion, nearly quadrupling its current valuation of $139.72 billion. However, he cautioned that the outlook could change dramatically if the pattern fails to materialize. Beyond technical factors, analysts point to several other key drivers fueling XRP’s surge. In a Wednesday interview with FOX Business, David Stryzewski, CEO of Sound Planning Group, disclosed that Bank of America now processes 100% of its internal transactions using Ripple’s technology. This revelation has sparked significant optimism within the XRP community, further solidifying the cryptocurrency’s growing momentum. “Ripple is the second-largest coin, and before the SEC investigation, Ripple is going to be the track that everything runs on in the future,” Stryzewski said. “They even created their own stablecoin, and as I mentioned, Bank of America is doing 100% of its transactions with them.” Last Sunday, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed optimism about the Trump presidency, stating, “2025 is here, and the Trump bull market is real.” He also highlighted Ripple’s renewed presence in the U.S., noting that 75% of the company’s jobs have returned to the country, signaling a positive shift in crypto regulations. Furthermore, with SEC Chairman Gary Gensler stepping down, there is anticipation within the crypto community that the XRP securities lawsuit and other crypto-related lawsuits may be dropped, which could boost XRP prices. As of press time, XRP was trading at $2.42, reflecting a 2.38% drop over the past 24 hours. #XRP
