Ken Griffin, the founder of the American hedge fund, Citadel, recently admitted that he was wrong about being cynical towards the stability of cryptocurrency markets. He was speaking to the journalist from Bloomberg recently when he made these remarks. When interviewer David Rubenstein asked him about his stance on the cryptocurrency markets, he admitted to having a change of heart.
Griffin has drawn similarities between cryptocurrencies and tulip bulbs mania recently. He used to issue warnings to the younger generation about getting involved in the bubble of the digital asset market. He was also found to claim that the cryptocurrencies are a bubble like the tulip bulbs that will eventually end in tears. However, in his latest interview, he seems to have changed his opinion.
