Head of Digital Assets at Goldman Sachs, Matthew McDermott, has projected a massive growth in the cryptocurrency market in 2024. McDermott shared these positive predictions in a recent interview with Fox Business<\/a>, expressing much optimism in the future of digital assets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking to Fox Business, McDermott has backed the continuous growth of cryptocurrencies as he foresees a rise in the institutional adoption of these assets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Notably, the Goldman executive shares popular sentiment with many crypto enthusiasts that the approval of a Bitcoin or Ethereum spot ETF<\/a> will open up the digital asset ecosystem to more institutional investors who are weary of the market volatility attached to direct crypto investments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n McDermott said:<\/span><\/p>\n One, it broadens and deepens the liquidity in the market. And why does it do that? It does that because you\u2019re actually creating institutional products that can be traded by institutions that don\u2019t need to touch the bare assets. And I think that, to me, that opens up the universe of the pensions, insurers, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n However, McDermott has cautioned crypto enthusiasts against expecting a sudden impact of crypto spot ETFs. He believes the anticipated increased demand and price rise will be a gradual process that will occur over the course of 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to grant approval orders to several Bitcoin spot ETF<\/a> applications in the coming weeks following discussions between the regulator and multiple asset managers. <\/span>Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas has set a potential decision window of January 8 – January 10, stating there is a 90% chance the SEC finally delivers a verdict on these various applications putting an end to the 6-months chronicle.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to potential crypto spot ETFs, McDermott also mentioned a potential increase in commercial blockchain application as another contributing factor to his projected rise in institutional demand for digital assets.<\/span><\/p>\n Particularly, he spoke about an improvement in existing tokenization systems, which can lead to the creation of secondary liquidity on blockchains.<\/span><\/p>\n He said:<\/span><\/p>\n When I think about tokenization, which is obviously a topic that\u2019s kind of talked about quite extensively, I think for me next year what we\u2019ll start to see is the development of marketplaces.

And that\u2019s because we\u2019ll start to see the emergence of secondary liquidity on chain, and that\u2019s a key enabler.
