Mobius Capital Founder explains why Bitcoin is rallying right now. It is primarily due to the Russia-Ukraine war crisis, where crypto is acting as an important asset for both sides. While Ukraine is accepting crypto donations, Russian citizens are using crypto to safeguard their assets. The value of the Ruble is falling, and the Russian stock market also crashed; the only option left with investors is to put money in Bitcoin.
Mobius Capital Founder on Bitcoin rally
Mark Mobius, the founder of Mobius Capital, explained why the price of Bitcoin is rallying in a recent interview with CNBC. In the interview, he was asked if he would buy Bitcoin in the current market scenario. To which Mark replied that he would not buy Bitcoin now, but in case he was a Russian citizen, he would have.
He further explained by giving an example of a property agent in Dubai, saying that a lot of foreigners come to buy properties and get the money from their Swiss accounts. If Bitcoin becomes a payment medium, it will become the only way for Russians right now to get their money out and move out of Russia. With sanctions, the situation might get worse, and Russians might have to face a lot of problems.
In fact, the savings of the citizens are not safe. The Russian authorities have said that in case the sanctions go too far, they might have to seize the savings of citizens. So, crypto has become an important way for them to protect their wealth.
