The crypto market has been subjected to major sell-offs since assets began to crash across the board. September which has been a historically bloody month for the market has stayed true to nature as various cryptocurrencies suffered crashes that dragged the market down. Due to this, over $1 billion longs have been liquidated in the market since Monday.

Billionaire Mike Novogratz was on CNBC to talk about the current market trends. But unlike most investors in the market, Novogratz does not seem at all worried about the numerous price dips rocking the market. Mike Novogratz is the CEO of Galaxy Digital, a hedge fund that manages assets ranging from traditional assets to cryptocurrencies.

Nothing To Worry About

Talking about the sell-off in the market, Novogratz explained that tensions were high in the space due to the current regulations talks by the SEC. He pointed to the developing Evergrande crisis, which Tether had been linked to, as also contributing to the sell-offs, which had put investors on edge. The CEO also pointed to long positions that were a little too optimistic, saying, “I think the market got itself a little too long.

Novogratz sees the current market dips as a buy-the-dip opportunity. Simply stating, “I’m not nervous” in response to the bleeding market. In addition, the billionaire sees the Treasury introducing stablecoins which are going to be backed by Fed banks. “That’s going to be something we watch over the next week to three months.”

Crypto Market Holding At Critical Levels

Noting the crash, the CEO pointed out that the top two coins in the market had held at their critical positions. Spelling good news for the market. Following the Monday crash, bitcoin had held above $40,000 and Ethereum held up above $2,800 and Novogratz said, “As long as those hold, I think the market is in good shape.”

Both these assets had recorded massive losses following Monday’s opening. And bitcoin alone had seen over $800 million long positions liquidated in response to this. Ethereum had not fared any better in the market as the bloodbath had spilled over into altcoins. But despite this, the billionaire remains bullish on the market.

Another important factor for the billionaire was the amount of both public and private capital that was pouring into the space. At the beginning of the interview, Novogratz had mentioned that the crypto market had moved on from the story of bitcoin but has moved on to Web3. And investors, in a bid to not miss out on what could very well be the next internet, have funneled more and more money into the space.
