Founder of Binance-Listed Altcoin Addresses Assertion That "Cryptocurrencies Are No More"
Crypto Transformation: Sidney Powell, founder of Maple Finance, argues that the cryptocurrency sector is not dead but is maturing and integrating into mainstream finance, moving from a subculture to a significant financial infrastructure.
Market Dynamics: Powell highlights a "silent migration" of approximately $300 billion from dormant whale wallets, driven by institutional movements into ETFs and the conversion of long-held assets into cash for future generations.
DTCC Tokenization Impact: The tokenization efforts by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) are seen as a major milestone, potentially facilitating $100 trillion in crypto transactions, although Powell predicts a gradual transition over 5 to 10 years.
Future Outlook: Powell expresses optimism for 2026, suggesting that with favorable macroeconomic conditions and regulatory changes, Bitcoin could reach values between $150,000 and $200,000.
