Investors are going to think: bonds are going to get crushed as the Fed goes from the only buyer on Earth to seller. Rising rates will make equities and real estate less attractive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, where does one invest when both stocks and bonds are falling? (Normally they are negatively correlated.) Blockchain is a very legit place to invest in that world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">#Bitcoin is down -19% year-on-year \u2014 during a period when the Fed printed $5 trillion \u2014 seems cheap.<\/p>\n<p>The Next Mega-Trade: https:\/\/t.co\/kfWepItKpe pic.twitter.com\/MgGz2bD6BB<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dan Morehead (@dan_pantera) February 17, 2022<\/p>\n<p>To add to his point, Morehead also highlighted a previous statement he made during a conference call with investors earlier this month in which he pointed out that asset classes such as gold and crypto don\u2019t directly correspond to interest rates as bonds do. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhereas blockchain isn\u2019t a cashflow-oriented thing. It\u2019s like gold. It can behave in a very different way from interest-rate-oriented products. I think when all\u2019s said and done, investors will be given a choice: they have to invest in something, and if rates are rising, blockchain is going to be the most relatively attractive,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Biden expected to issue executive order on crypto and CBDCs next week: Report<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Morehead admitted that while the crypto market appears to have responded to Fed\u2019s movements of late, the value proposition of digital assets has remained the same, while the decreasing prices may also have been a result of the U.S. financial tax year coming to a close:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of crypto selling pressure has been unintended tax positions.
