With the crypto-based ETF receiving regulatory approval in January, BlakcRock has proven to be the most successful. It is no surprise that Tudor Jones has maintained a position in the $10 trillion asset manager’s BTC investment offering. Just last month, he discussed the ongoing inflation issue and why it fortifies his conviction regarding Bitcoin.
“I think all roads lead to inflation,” Tudor Jones told CNBC. “I’m long gold; I’m long bitcoin. I think commodities are so ridiculously underowned—so I’m long commodities.” Additionally, the billionaire expressed concern over mounting US federal debt. The figure reached $35.7 trillion this year.
“All roads lead to inflation,” the hedge fund manager reiterated. “That’s historically the way ever civilization has gout out: They’ve inflated away their debts.” Conversley, Tudor Jones’ Bitcoin ETF position shows his commitment to BTC amid the ongoing inflationary pressure on the US dollar.
