Jeremy Allaire, the CEO at financial services company Circle, has advised investors to seek refuge in bitcoin during this uncertain financial and economic times. The financial expert reignited the “bitcoin haven” discussion at a recent edition of CNBC’s pre-market financial show, Squawk Box.

Allaire said:

He affirmed a popular opinion among cryptocurrency analysts that institutional interest in cryptocurrency has grown in recent years and its beginning to pay off in the market. This, he attributed to the “digital gold” thesis explaining that a lot of bitcoin investors –both individual and institutional—were accumulating bitcoin due to environments where there is “intense concern about capital controls.”

As Smartereum reported, cryptocurrency analyst Scott Melker explained that the latest bitcoin bull run is a result of institutional involvement in the market. “Many of us said that this bull run was different because it happened without retail interest or FOMO. Price rose steadily from 3200 to 14K without media hype,” he tweeted.
