Bitcoin is trading around $64,085, up about 3.3% for the month. Even as a hawkish Federal Reserve and renewed Middle East tensions keep markets on edge, the waters are steadily calming for the premier cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin may be near $75,750, but CoinShares co-founder, president and CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti says markets are misreading the moment. That could have lasting implications for how investors build portfolios.
After teasing cryptocurrency market participants with a move above $80,000, bitcoin is now flirting with its lowest levels in close to a month. However, evidence indicates that bitcoin's bumpy ride isn't scaring away some investors.
