HIGHER LOWS
March 1, 2021
​

​

RISK MARKETS UPDATE
January 27, 2021
​
There is a lot of online chatter about the potentiality of a ‘risk-off’ move coming on the back of "WallStreetBets" (a forum on Reddit) leading a millennial charge through single equity names, creating massive short squeezes. What does this all mean for the cryptocurrency markets?
JAN '21 MARKET UPDATE
January 11, 2021
This cryptocurrency sell-off marks the first significant retracement since Thanksgiving's 17% decline. 2021 has seen a relatively straight line move up. After the recent OCC statement allowing banks to clear public blockchain transactions, the move from roughly $27,000 to $42,000 has been more or less without pause.
OCC STATEMENT
January 7, 2021
LLG believes this to be tacit approval for banks to settle transactions on public blockchains. Add to this the fact that the SEC has deemed Bitcoin and Ethereum not to be securities, and this release gives permission to banks to engage with customers in certain cryptocurrencies.
THANKSGIVING SELLOFF
November 27, 2020
The price of Bitcoin fell from $19,500 to $16,200 on news that the Trump administration, in a parting gift to the crypto community, is considering regulating exchanges in such a way as to demand private wallet counterparty addresses. We think this is a temporary selloff that will be met with investors "buying the dip."
