Topic: 2019 Will See Entry of More Institutional Players in Crypto (Read 797 times)
I love this topic, yes I expect more instutional players even in educational sectors
I hope the market will show much higher prices and action than in 2017. And it will not surprise anyone this time.
I hope so, but we can't really compare 2017 though, it's different, there's a lot of positive news that year that really push the price to almost $20K. But as far as institutional money, I reckon some of them are really already in this market for a long time.
But there are more still waiting from the outside, and willing to pour their money once we they see that the market is recovering or maybe a BAKKT approval will be a good sign for them to enter the market. And we might see more institutions, offering the same so eventually Wall Street can't really deny that crypto is the new generation and will join in as well.

Henri Arslanian, the Asia fintech and crypto leader of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Hong Kong, has predicted that many institutional players will enter the crypto industry in 2019. Arslanian made this claim during an interview with Bloomberg published on Dec. 24.
When asked about his outlook on crypto for the next year, Arslanian said that he thinks “there’s a lot of exciting things that the crypto ecosystem is looking forward to in 2019.” Arslain explained that he expects the next year to be different from 2018 because of the increasing regulatory clarity.
Arslanian also declared that he expects “many more big banks” to enter the space, some by launching their own solutions, others by partnering with or investing in crypto companies. This involvement, he explains, will bring in “institutional level expertise” which — according to him — is much needed in the industry.
PwC is an international network of companies that provide consulting and auditing services. The company — which has its headquarters in London — was founded in 1849 and is one of the “big four” accounting companies. Their Hong Kong office has accepted Bitcoin (BTC) as payment for its advisory services since late 2017.

I think so. That's why all those banks, NYSE etc are preparing all types of platforms, exchanges. They are preparing the industry for new big coming funds.
We can see an attempt to revive the market of ICO's from the Binance team:
"Binance Launchpad will be featuring new projects in 2019. Launchpad helps transformative blockchain startups raise funds needed to develop their products and gives them access to Binance’s ecosystem. Binance Launchpad will be available to Binance users that have completed ID verification on their account and also meet the Launchpad eligibility requirements.
Launchpad will start with two initial projects: BitTorrent and Fetch.AI. Further announcements for each upcoming project launch will be made in the coming weeks."
How do you guys think is it possible to do now or we should wait till the market turns confirmed?

We are seeing many major player entering the market and some have raised fund as well,many have eyes on baakt and etf approved then we can seen another bull run.we have also seen patented done by major player like IBM,MasterCard,etc so we can expect good rise in price in 2019.there are many rumor of Wall Street player thinking of getting in crypto in big way but that would happen when etf get approved.so ETF approval or disapproval will play significant role in manipulation of price.
2019 is the year of institutional and stable coins we will see more stable coins come into market and more important wall street investors invest in crypto currencies
We do all hoping for the success of crypto as a modern way of payment and currency as well. This new system will surely generate a lot of clients if it turn back into high price and it could encourage more investors and company owners to participate with. This instant way of payment process will help us to be more productive and never worries in delays. Will be looking great for this year and for the coming years.
New major exchanges like BAAKT and DX exchange are coming soon that will cater to big institutions. Any new approved ETFs will help too.
This might be a big year for crypto and everybody’s hoping for good investment recovery. We need bigger institutions to be more stabilise and build more confidence over big investors, past year was all about regulation and filtration this could be a good start for more big institutions to enter this space.
Everyone is optimistic at this point and today the value of all altcoin is showing signs of increasing very well. This may be a new start for the market and this year many new investors will invest, making Cryptocurrency more and more popular all over the world. 
I think next year many new investors will appear on the cryptocurrency market.
Large venture funds will invest and many projects will successfully create their services.

Definitely i will sure on that specially if the market turn into better situation it's easy to convince new investors investing in cryptocurrency and hope the project developer will faith in their investors and getting update information about the transparency.

not only stable coins my friend
but in my opinion an infrastructure project will rising its value too,,
because the platform from an infrastructure project will be usefull in 2019
Reading the BAKKT news today and the new funding raised by the team and the profile fo those people that invested intot he project makes me to believe that instituitional money has come to stay in the space, but the way they are going about it is what is giving me a second thought, they are not investing directly into the space, I just hope with this value and adoption will increase better in 2019

The cryptocurrency market seems to be very potential, I hope 2019 will have many big organizations in the world to join, I know there are many experts who predicted the price of bitcoin to rise very high in 2018, etc... but almost nothing happened, hoping this prediction would happen because he did not predict the price !! 
Certainly, many large players will join, but before that there must be legal regulations and I am sure that ICO projects would have a greater chance of attracting such investors. The problem is because ICOs scam feel unpunished due to lack of regulation. When it will change, institutional investors certainly will come.
Every now and then there is a speculation about more 'institutional money' coming into crypto. Unfortunately, the impact on cryptocurrency prices is questionable.
This is good news!
Clearly, the strong development of Crypto is leaving a big impact on people's thinking. I hope this must be even stronger so that people will be more confident in investing in crypto.

Yes, the new year 2019 will be more interesting for all the crypto players. We are going to have very much positive markets in coming days as most institutional funds are waiting for new year to enter in. I guess bitcoin etf also will be getting approved in 2019 which may bring more good things to crypto holders for sure.
Hopefully with clear regulations in 2019 as explained above, it can make someone who will invest become more confident and establish themselves to invest their assets in cryptocurrency.
Just another one prediction but we are going to see much flat market in 2019 in my opinion or just the recovery it is not going to be in new high prices since the price dump is very huge and it can't be regained again as quick as we think.
Its different when people who stablished a good name in business industry gave a bold prediction. It would drag interests from mediocre investors that could help the market rise again. Plus there are more good news coming up next year that could change this bearish trend, but recovery isnt that easy.
I think that 2019 will be favorable for the crypto currency and I want to allocate Ethereum it will have a Hard fork, Ethereum 2.0 Update and I also learned that Ethereum is launching an official investment Fund. But it also depends on the behavior of bitcoin in the market.
This is the main fact why crypto is very highly volatile and having trouble with getting established as a daily currency. It should grow potentially rather than this kind of pump and dump. Most of the people who are here from the beginning mostly care about establishing crypto as a daily usable currency, not as an investing opportunity.
I think that it is very difficult to apply in all countries and not all countries will accept it even if it is not possible. What is the fate of the bank and the future paper?

Yeah as the price of bitcoin and ethereum are much affordable this can attract more huge institution to enter the world of crypto as this technology has getting more attention in the business world. Expect a huge changes in crypto as more huge investors will join and those government regulations will follow to prevent manipulation. The more money will enter in the cryptomarket this is advantage of the bitcoin holders as the price of bitcoin can easily make a rally and this will follow with the altcoins. It could be a busy year for crypto if that will happens.

if you say so, i wish it will be good news for crypto.
because if that right many investor will come again and put their money on crpyto.
it will give an increase in value to BTC and of course the altcoin will follow.
just as when the final increase in 2017, we hope that moment will happen again.

I hope it will occur by the end of 2019, because I need time to collect enough funds and buy crypto assets.
I am ready to invest 90% of my income in crypto currency, because I see 20x potential growth
I am ready to invest 90% of my income in crypto currency, because I see 20x potential growth
Every year, we have many different investors. The ups and downs of electronic money have made the crypto market diversify investors. so it is obvious and we do not need any leader to speak up.
There are lots of indication of crypto recognition by next year which may cause a price rally for most altcoins. Countless preparation was being made this year for the good of cryptocurrency and its users so a market recovery is possible. Everyone is looking forward for an all time high so if there will be millions and big time players who enters the market, this will not be impossible. Each and everyone who believe in cryptocurrency will have a wealthy 2019.
I think next year many new investors will appear on the cryptocurrency market.
Large venture funds will invest and many projects will successfully create their services.
Large venture funds will invest and many projects will successfully create their services.
Again those institutional investors won't enter unless they are sure that they going to profit, not just profit but to get huge money. Currently, the market has nothing to offer, everyone is exhausted and not willing to enter the market again. Unless the SEC approved ETF's or BAKKT Bitcoin offering goes live early January 2019, I doubt that we can witnessed "institutional money" providing the needed respite to this bear market.
Thanks for your post. Some information that gives us solace amid market has worsened. I hope good things will come in 2019.

Fully agree with Henri Arslanian, 2019 will definitely be completely different from 2018 year. And maybe there will not be a new ATH on BTC but we definitely will see a lot of opportunities to earn on whole crypto market, including BTC markets.
Also i'm expecting a new wave of ICO's which are not in SEC and United States jurisdiction, and a wave of STO's from USA and other countries with strong regulations in crypto space.
With Bakkt and ETFs on the horizon as well as many other unforeseen avenues we could see a big amount of institutional money entering BTC, although I do think if they're planning to accumulate a lot of it will be done OTC so as not to cause a big price increase overnight.
Just another one prediction but we are going to see much flat market in 2019 in my opinion or just the recovery it is not going to be in new high prices since the price dump is very huge and it can't be regained again as quick as we think.
I don't see why this is something tied to 2019. Projects like IOTA already have their investors (Bosch, ...), banks are already invested in BTC and trade it (Morgan, ...) and states won't buy cryptos because they need stable investments.
Agreed. Maybe some banks will diversify, but they'll always see crypto as a child's game for speculation and market manipulation. Not a sphere where big money should be poured.We should look into adding value to coins before expecting large companies to adopt them.
I think we're going to see a lot of new avenues for investment from institutional players but I don't expect there to be swathes of new investment. Market recovery is going to take time given it's not a wonderful time to buy right now with a lot of uncertainty still in the market and not lots of progress in terms of adoption.
Yes, 2019 will be a great year hence there is a lot of events that will be going to occur on such year and more and more investors will be coming to enter the world of cryptocurrency. Thus, bringing the bull back again on its way, and we will just have to wait for the great event to happen. So as for now we should have to HODL more tokens as much as we should because this is the start of all.

Yes with likes of events scheduled to happen in 2019 like bakkt launching their platform and ETF may be finally be approved in 2019. So more and more institutional interest is likely to come in the coming year.

That has been our expectations for 2019, I think the ground plan has been put in place and that is why bitcoin price has been brought than for new institutions investors to come in. 2019, is actually a year for us to see another upwards movement and also another time for us to invest.
It is not a rumor anymore that many institutional players will come in to crypto's.
If someone tells that Wall St has backed out of crypto, are they the only big institutional players in the world? ignore about them, they are just trying to gain attention but you'll know later that they have been buying and accumulating to fill their bags.
Not sure about that if you are seeing the fact that most of rich person in the world located in US, A lot of companies with very big marketcapitalizations are located in US too and remember most of big bankers in the word are located in america right now.

They have been popular because they are "US" but it doesn't mean that they are the only market and players that you should look at.
Yeah, I might agree with that statement, or I hope that is what will happen. 2018 was the worst year for crypto I think, the decline after skyrocketing price in the 2017 make people think that Bitcoin and crypto is in a bubble, and it is just a matter of time for the explosion and kill all of the investor. I also agree that all of those are mainly because the unclear regulation related to crypto. However I haven't heard some big news about crypto regulation except in china and korea, but I still wish what Arslanian said was true.

i believe there will be two options for next year,,
first crypto market will get worse, second crypto market will better,,
if institutional players really come to crypto world, maybe the second options is the answer
so, we can see a green candle in crypto world next year

Yes most of the big financial players are sooner or later going to enter the crypro markets but i do not know what is taking them so long. Maybe they are busy to clear all the compliance, taxation and regulation policies before proper entry but who knows. I am saying this because during all of this year 2018 i was listening to same news every other day about institutions entering crypto but nothing solid occured we can now only hope they enter as soon as possible and uplift the market.
These non-working ICOs are a real disappointment, but i guess we should understand that products take time to develop and that the investments are purely speculation. EOS raised billions and they don't have a working product yet. Hopefully 2019 will bring in the professionals that will drive crypto towards mainstream adoption
How are crypto markets better for institutionalists than traditional venture capital markets? Risk higher, prices also higher - most of still non-working ICO cost like huge already working companies.
I think, new year will come with good chance, more greens, good news and Instituional players. I heard that Nowadays, Facebook is creating own coin and this coin will be used on Whatsapp. You can send own coins to your frind on Whatsapp. I believe 2019 will be a good year.

Investors will surely increase due to low coin prices, but large firms, only those who want to distribute the crypt and consolidate its status.
indeed there are many large institutions that are interested in the crypto market, but unclear regulations make them hesitant and worried about their investments. I hope that next year there will be many countries that support and legalize crypto in their countries, so there are many large investors and institutions interested in joining.
After the year of overheating due to speculations in 2017 and the dismal performance in 2018, many people are expecting (maybe wishing I would say) that 2019 can be a lot different. And in this case there can be many predictions and expectations as to what will really happen with the market. Yes, there is a possibility of more institutional involvement with the cryptocurrency market in 2019 though am not sure if this can all directly affect the prices of many coins or tokens as these institutions have their own interest to protect too -- in fact these are the same institutions that Bitcoin is supposed to get away with...and now there is a big possibility that at the end they can be the ones controlling Bitcoin and the whole market and then drop it when the going get tough. Sadly, we still live in the world of reality and there is no way to escape the control and influence of these institutions. I am hoping to be wrong though.
2019 is a year of adaptation for the crypto world, not a year of speculation as happened at the end of 2017. The coins that can survive are coins that are useful for real products and adapted by the community in general
if his predictions right,,
i think 2019 will be a green year for crypto market,,
i believe all crypto believer will be smile, because of that my friend
