Individuals are handing over massive wealth to institutions.

Goliath-sized institutions are starting to run toward the crypto market while individual investors are running away.

And I’ve seen this institutional blueprint for stealing wealth play out again and again:

  • During 1994-1995, institutions outwardly scoffed about how “dumb” money was buying internet stocks. Meanwhile, they were loading up on “sweetheart” deals in private markets.

  • In 2003, institutions bought up internet and technology stocks on the cheap following the dot-com crash. Yet on CNBC, they kept telling the public it was too early to buy.

  • After the housing crisis in 2010-2012, institutions bought up foreclosures by the thousands. But individual investors couldn’t get mortgages.

I don’t want our readers to fall victim to this strategy. So today, I’ll tell you what institutions are doing – and why you need to position yourself ahead of them…

Wall Street Is Coming

After the so-called Crypto Winter of 2018, we saw bitcoin drop over 80%. However, in April, I noticed huge buying coming into the market.

I pounded the table, saying bitcoin was getting ready to run. Since then, we’ve seen bitcoin break out of its downtrend and rise as much as 353%.

What’s behind this turnaround?

Well, it all has to do with large investors getting in this space.

One of them is the most prestigious tech venture capital firm in the world: Andreessen Horowitz. With $2.7 billion in assets under management, it’s a serious outfit. (In fact, it was an early investor in Twitter, Facebook, Groupon, Airbnb, and more.)

Last year, the firm raised $300 million for a crypto hedge fund. And before creating the fund, it’d already been investing in crypto assets for five years.

According to published reports, it hasn’t sold a single investment. It invests with a 10-year time horizon.

So this is some of the smartest money on the planet making big bets that crypto is here to stay.

And it’s not the only “smart-money” firm getting into the space…

When Big Money Talks, It Pays to Listen

I’ve been saying for years that we’d see every major institution add bitcoin and crypto assets to its portfolio to smooth out volatility and increase risk-adjusted performance.

That’s why I called 2019 the year of Wall Street greed. And this narrative is emerging…
