22% of Goldman Sachs clients say Bitcoin is going ‘over $100,000’ in the next year

2021-3-6 16:50

A small but significant percentage of the clients of US bank Goldman Sachs say that Bitcoin would cross the six-figure mark in the coming years, the bank said in a report released Thursday.

Why Goldman clients like Bitcoin

From the 280 respondents of a survey titled “GS Digital Assets Client Survey,” the bank found that over 22% of its client felt Bitcoin would cross the $100,000 mark in the next 12 months while a majority (54%) said it would trade between the $40,000-$100,000 level.

42% of the respondents were invested in Bitcoin while 29% held Ethereum. 16% said they held ‘other’ altcoins, and the remaining were exposed to stablecoins.

40% of all respondents, in addition, said they were exposed to the crypto market, mainly via derivatives, and just 41% of those respondents via “spot” holdings, while 61% said they felt their crypto holdings would rise in the next 12-24 months.

In terms of the investment thesis, 28% of all respondents said the global macro backdrop led to the recent run of Bitcoin while an overwhelming 57% said that institutional adoption and Bitcoin products were the cause, as they led to greater trust in the asset.

Goldman has, so far, largely maintained its distance from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Last year, the bank’s former CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, stated that the asset was a highly risky bet and that he would be hyperventilating” at the recent ‘success of Bitcoin.’

But the bank’s opinion seems to have changed with high Bitcoin prices. Goldman (re)started its trading desk last week for institutional clients citing “high demand”—two years after initially offering and quickly closing down the service in 2018.

The desk would trade Bitcoin futures and non-deliverable forwards for clients from next week, a person familiar with the matter said earlier this week, adding that Goldman was also exploring the potential for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).

It’s not like the road ahead is fully clear for Bitcoin, however. 34% of the survey takers feared government regulations and mandates are the biggest “obstacles” to Bitcoin’s growth, while 24% said that the lack of a well-regulated, accessible, and investible instrument would be the greatest hurdle for Bitcoin in the coming months.

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way.

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.
