- Bitcoin and Ethereum prices are expected to reach new highs soon, says Matías Dajcz, Chief Revenue Officer at Ripio.
- Dajcz sees real-world assets (RWAs) as the next big trend in the crypto market, influenced by evolving regulations and financial democratization.
As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, industry insiders are looking at pivotal factors that could shape the future of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Matías Dajcz, Chief Revenue Officer at Ripio, a leading crypto-asset platform in Latin America, recently shared his projections at the Argentina Fintech Forum. According to Dajcz, both Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely to reach new price peaks in the coming months, regardless of the outcome of the upcoming U.S. elections.
Moreover, he emphasized the role of regulatory changes and the potential rise of real-world assets (RWAs) in driving the next phase of crypto adoption and market transformation.
Ripio, founded in 2013, is a pioneer in Latin America’s crypto industry, serving both retail and institutional clients across multiple countries. With operations in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay, Colombia, Spain, and the United States, Ripio is well-positioned to understand both local and global market dynamics. Speaking at the Argentina Fintech Forum, Dajcz outlined his optimistic outlook for cryptocurrency prices and the crypto industry at large, noting the influence of several key factors.
One of the central topics of the conversation was the upcoming U.S. presidential election. According to Dajcz, the political landscape in the U.S. could significantly impact crypto market movements. He noted that Republican candidate Donald Trump appears to be more crypto-friendly, with support from figures like Elon Musk.
On the other hand, Vice President Kamala Harris, representing the Democratic Party, might take a more cautious approach toward the economy. Dajcz speculated that if Trump wins, Bitcoin’s price could surge within a shorter time frame due to his market-friendly stance. However, he maintained that both outcomes are likely to favor crypto assets, with BTC and ETH potentially reaching new all-time highs soon.
Dajcz also shared his thoughts on the regulatory environment in Argentina and Latin America. Ripio actively collaborates with regulatory bodies, such as the National Securities Commission (CNV) in Argentina, advocating for crypto-friendly regulations that encourage industry growth while safeguarding investors. He emphasized that regulations should serve the interests of both regulators and the broader public.
As an example, Dajcz mentioned Ripio’s contribution to a World Economic Forum initiative focused on crypto regulations adaptable for various countries.
Another prominent theme Dajcz discussed was the emerging role of Real World Assets (RWAs) in the crypto ecosystem. RWAs, which tokenize tangible assets like real estate or commodities, represent a growing segment that could redefine digital asset portfolios. According to Dajcz, RWAs allow users to diversify investments beyond traditional crypto assets, offering new options like fractional ownership of real estate or commodity-backed tokens.
He suggested that, with appropriate regulatory support, RWAs could become a mainstream investment choice in Latin America, similar to initiatives already underway in Spain.
In addition to these developments, Dajcz shared his thoughts on privacy concerns in the face of increasing regulation. Ripio’s commitment to transparency, data security, and regulatory compliance has garnered a reputation for reliability, with robust Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Partner (KYP) protocols. However, he noted that users seeking complete anonymity might prefer unregulated, peer-to-peer markets, as Ripio, by law, must report certain transactions.
As the cryptocurrency market approaches significant political and economic milestones, Dajcz’s insights shed light on the factors likely to influence Bitcoin and Ethereum’s trajectory. He suggested that, depending on the geopolitical landscape, BTC could reach between $90,000 and $120,000, with ETH aiming for the $8,000 to $10,000 range within the next three to four months.
