Soros Fund Management CEO Dawn Fitzpatrick Bullish on Crypto Despite Recent Headwinds

  • Wechat scan to share

Dawn Fitzpatrick, CEO of Soros Fund Management, expressed optimism about the future of cryptocurrency despite recent challenges such as the SEC's lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase. She believes that established financial institutions will take the lead as investor confidence in some platforms wanes, which could benefit average consumers and traders.

Fitzpatrick acknowledged the irony of traditional financial firms leading in a market meant to be disruptive and decentralized, but also noted that crypto development has been partly mismanaged. Soros Fund Management, which handles a pool of capital largely owned by George Soros and valued at nearly $30 billion, remains bullish on crypto.

In accordance with the "Customs Law of the People's Republic of China," the "Customs Law of the People's Republic of China," the "Foreign Trade Law of the People's Republic of China," and other laws and regulations, as well as basic principles of international law, with the approval of the State Council, the measures of imposing tariffs on imported goods originating in the U.S. will be adjusted starting from April 12, 2025.
