Crypto Tumbles: Is the Bull Market Over? #83
About this episode
Crypto markets tumble as Trump reignites trade tensions with China, causing nearly $20B in liquidations of leveraged positions. Volatility spikes and put skew explodes, especially in Ethereum, with altcoins facing massive drops. Hosts Imran Lakha (Options Insight) and Dave (FRNT), joined by Friedrich Herzog (Matrixport), discuss if it's time to buy the dip. Friedrich shares his journey from traditional finance (systematic equities at Goldman Sachs) to crypto, emphasizing Matrixport's focus on diversified alpha generating strategies. Despite the spat creating turbulence, macro tailwinds remain strong—position sizing, avoiding leverage, and using options for hedging are key to navigating washouts of weak hands.
