Crypto for Advisors: Waiting for the Next Crypto Bull Market? It’s Already Here.

Have you ever felt like you missed out on the cryptocurrency bull market? You see prices skyrocketing, but by the time you decide to invest, it's too late. It's a common dilemma that many of us have faced.

But what if I told you that the next bull market is already here? Yes, you heard it right. Despite the gloomy backdrop and the uncertainty surrounding the crypto market, there are signs that a new bull market is emerging.

From Pessimism to Optimism: The Birth of a Bull Market

As the legendary investor John Templeton once said, bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die in euphoria. In other words, bull markets begin when sentiment is low and risks are prominent.

In 2023, the crypto market faced one of its toughest challenges. Bitcoin and other tokens experienced significant price drops, and regulatory actions threatened the industry. But despite all the negative headlines, January 2023 turned out to be one of the best months for crypto. Prices surged, and several tokens recorded impressive gains.

So, were the risks overblown? Not really. The risks were indeed real, but they were already priced into the market. This extreme pessimism set the stage for the beginning of a new bull market.

The Changing Landscape: Enter the "Skepticism" Phase

Fast forward to today, and we find ourselves in the "skepticism" phase of this bull market. While the market has seen a strong start in 2023, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index indicates a neutral sentiment. Spot trading on crypto exchanges has decreased, and Bitcoin is still trading below its all-time high.

However, major companies like Google and Paypal are actively entering the crypto space, and Blackrock, one of the world's largest asset managers, has filed for a spot Bitcoin ETF. The potential approval of this ETF could be a game-changer for the industry and accelerate mainstream adoption of digital assets.

As we navigate through this phase, it's essential to have an investment thesis and a plan. If you believe in the potential of a spot BTC ETF and have done your due diligence, now might be a good time to make an allocation. But remember, always have a strategy and stick to your plan.

Advice from the Experts

We reached out to some financial advisors and experts in the crypto space to get their insights on navigating the next bull run. Here's what they had to say:

Adam Blumberg, Interaxis:

"First, let your clients know that you understand and can help with crypto investments. Have a strategy in place and have those crucial conversations with your clients about their investment theses and risk profiles. If they understand their goals and how crypto fits into their portfolio, they're less likely to get burned."

Jennifer Murphy, Runa Digital Assets:

"If you have an investment thesis you believe in, go for it. But make sure you're not treating it as a gamble. Have a plan, determine your appropriate allocation, and understand the risks involved. And remember, every bull market starts with skepticism."

Don't Miss Out Again

The next crypto bull market is already here, and it's time to position yourself for potential gains. Stay informed, have an investment thesis, and remember to stay skeptical even as optimism grows. With the right strategy and proper risk management, you can make the most of this exciting time in the crypto world.
