According to Mike Novogratz, the United States is heading towards a credit crunch, and the best investment right now is gold and silver. The Galaxy Digital CEO’s support for major cryptocurrencies along with precious metals is based on the current sentiment among lenders in the US and around the world.
“If there was ever a time to be in bitcoin and cryptocurrency, that’s why it was created, governments print more money the more the pain increases, and we see that,” Mike Novogratz told CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin.
The founder of Galaxy Digital believes that banks will start using a strategy where they will lend less money in an effort to rebuild their capital. According to Novogratz, this will lead to a credit crunch in the coming days. In support of his claims, he cited the current stalemate of the commodity market, which is already heading towards a recession.
Mike Novogratz has also predicted a reversal in the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate policy, as the financial regulator looks to maintain its credibility by raising interest rates. Bitcoin has been doing fairly well amid the chaos in the banking industry. Its price rose as much as 18%, reaching nearly $26,000 on March 14th.
