Crypto is growing up thanks to trading in real world assets, and Bitcoin will never dip below $60K again, says Nansen founder founder Alex Svanevik. Crypto is finally shaking off the “get rich quick” reputation that has defined the industry for more than a decade according to Nansen founder and CEO Alex Svanevik — and it’s not just because nobody’s getting rich right now. “Crypto assets have kind of been like the ‘toy world’ era of blockchains.
