Še en hedge sklad žigosa kripto, toda kdo je Citadel?

Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin told Bloomberg he has big plans for crypto despite the ongoing skepticism he feels towards digital assets.

V začetku tega leta, Citadela announced a $1.15 billion minority investment by Sequoia and Paradigm. Both of which have strong crypto ambitions.

Prejšnji mesec Sequoia announced the launch of its Sequoia Crypto Fund, which will invest in cryptocurrencies traded on third-party exchanges. Similarly, Paradigm launched a $2.5 billion fund to help crypto startups in Q4 2021.

Ko je komentiral naložbo, je Griffin namignil na Citadelove lastne kriptoambicije z besedami, da bo njihovo sodelovanje prineslo strokovno znanje, ki bo podjetje vodilo v digitalno prihodnost.

"Da smo imeli njihovo strokovno znanje in nam pomagali razmišljati o pozicioniranju Citadel Securities v naslednjih dveh ali treh desetletjih, je bila res močna priložnost, ki smo jo izkoristili."

Toda kje Griffin vidi vlogo Citadele v tej digitalni prihodnosti?

Kdo je Citadel?

Citadel LLC je ameriški hedge sklad in ponudnik finančnih storitev s sedežem v Chicagu v Illinoisu.

The company was founded by Griffin in 1990 and operates two core businesses; Citadel, the hedge fund, an alternative investment firm investing on behalf of institutional buyers. And Citadel Securities, which deals with market-making operations.

Glede na Pensions & Investments website, as of June 30, 2021, Citadel ranks as the 9th biggest hedge fund with assets under management of $37.6 billion.

Griffin is a stock market veteran of thirty years who has built a reputation for winning calls. So much so, his picks have netted him an estimated personal fortune of $20 billion. Regardless of that, he admits he doesn’t always get it right, in particular, his previous stance on crypto.

»In bom jasno, v tem obdobju sem bil v taboru nasprotnikov. Toda današnji kripto trg ima tržno kapitalizacijo približno 2 bilijona dolarjev v okroglih številkah, kar vam pove, da nisem imel prav pri tem klicu.

Kje vidi Griffin vlogo Citadele v kripto sektorju?

Kljub temu še vedno dvomi v kripto, čeprav se na stotine milijonov uporabnikov ne strinja z njim.

V ta namen, Griffin sees an opportunity in helping institutions and investors with “portfolio allocation.” Revealing more, he says he and his team have been giving “serious consideration” to crypto market making.

Ustvarjalci trga vlagateljem nudijo rešitve za nakup in prodajo, zato so odgovorni za vzdrževanje likvidnosti.

Griffin zaokroži z besedami, da bo Citadel v prihodnjih mesecih začel s trženjem kriptovalut.

"Pošteno je domnevati, da se bomo v prihodnjih mesecih ukvarjali z ustvarjanjem trgov s kriptovalutami."
