Those are fairly big developments. Its clear again from these that the demand for
Bitcoin is increasing regardless of price crashes.

These developments are also proof that accesability to Bitcoin is getting easier
for people who dont necessarily want to go the obvious route of acquiring it directly.

Thanks for updating @Daltonik

Given the penchant Soros has for authoritarianism, he must only be investing based on bitcoin's investment thesis, not its freedom thesis. 

Probably not the only one, actually, because a lot of investment funds are looking at it seriously. I believe even some governments are looking at it with their state banks now and that's purely on hedge/investment theories not from ideology perspective (since it doesn't make sense to invest in something that is opposite of banking and money maybe).

Good news for Bitcoin in any case I guess?

Agreed, probably good news and I’m sure he’s not the only one doing it.

Price growth will probably result in fiat stability which then lessens the need to get out of crypto to transact.

They seem to have big connections in Wall Street with Soros and Morgan Stanley

here is an slightly older report from CoinDesk about the two above aligning with NYDIG

Quote
Soros, Morgan Stanley Join $200M Investment in Bitcoin Firm NYDIG
NYDIG, the firm that facilitated MassMutual's $100 million bitcoin buy last year, has raised $200 million from a cadre of big-name investors.

As per the OP it looks like they were talking these "explosions" earlier in the month.

Hmmm, lets see what these are and if they have an effect on the markets....

"In the months and quarters ahead, look out for an explosion of innovation in bitcoin products and services delivered by NYDIG, in partnership with our new investors."

So next week we are finally breaking the $60k mark and expecting one big pump? It's nice that they told us such news, and considering that the price of BTC is currently falling, here are the opportunities for all those who want a quick profit Wink

Joke aside, it's a little weird to read news like this - but it's even weirder that the market doesn't react to it at all. However, as far as the list of partners is concerned ("Morgan Stanley, New York Life, Soros Fund Management, FS Investments"), I know is that Morgan Stanley a few days ago offered his clients access to three funds through which they can invest in Bitcoin, so we can consider it one of those great news. As for MassMutual, they already invested $100 million in BTC last year, maybe now they will invest as much or more?

What is actually literally eye-catching is Soros Fund Management, the old bats decided to play on the crypto card a little more seriously Cheesy

The rise in popularity of cryptocurrency and the digital token market received with enthusiasm the news that two of Wall Street's best-known funds will start investing in this revolutionary technology. George Soros and the Rockefeller family have taken their first steps to invest in cryptocurrency. Adam Fisher, who oversees the macroinvestments of Soros Fund Management and who moves $26bn from his headquarters in New York, has obtained internal permission to start trading with virtual currencies, the US news agency Bloomberg said.

My brother mentioned this to me yesterday that he heard an interview with Robbie Guttman
from stoneridge, I did some searching and came across this from the 17th of March, 4 days ago.

Interesting in many ways and could be a bit worrying as more Elite's enter the space.

“I know starting more or less next week, you’re going to see an absolute drumbeat of pretty game-changing milestones from some of these firms.” — Stone Ridge co-founder

Gutmann, also the co-founder of $10B asset manager Stone Ridge, told the “On the Brink" podcast on Mar. 15 that we can expect to see announcements from some of the firm’s strategic partners that will drastically change the traditional financial landscape.
