Bitwise Claims Libra Has Incubated Interest in Bitcoin<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Although some people believe Libra could be considered a competitor to Bitcoin, Bitwise<\/a> explained in their newsletter that the so-called Facebook crypto<\/a> has actually led a lot of new potential investors towards Bitcoin, sparking significant interest in the crypto markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason this matters now is that by forcing crypto onto center stage, Facebook\u2019s Libra and other catalysts have changed the nature of conversations that investors are having about crypto around the world,\u201d they explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Furthermore, the report also notes that Libra<\/a> has forced the government\u2019s hand to begin taking the rapidly evolving markets seriously, which may validate the technology within the court of public opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to Facebook and the hearings with Congress, people realize they can no longer ignore cryptocurrency. If the government and the largest consumer company in the world are taking it seriously, they have to too,\u201d the report noted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite Positive Publicity, Will Libra Spark a Regulatory Crackdown?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Shortly after Libra was released, the government took swift actions to begin investigating the initiative, which ultimately led to U.S. President Donald Trump tweeting that he is \u201cnot a fan\u201d of Bitcoin<\/a> and other cryptocurrencies, including Libra.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin explained that the government will soon begin policing the crypto markets with what he describes as \u201cvery, very strong\u201d regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems likely that, with crypto front-of-mind, the government will also increasingly call for enforcement actions against the shadier parts of the crypto ecosystem,\u201d Bitwise also noted, adding that this could ultimately be a good thing as it could incubate further growth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although only time will tell as to whether or not the imminent torrent of regulations will incubate long-term growth or hamper the markets, it is highly likely that the crypto markets and Bitcoin will face a new paradigm shift in the near-future.<\/p>\n
