Dan Tapiero, a prominent global macro investor, has recently explained how the inflow of institutional investors will positively impact the price of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Ethereum (ETH). He added that notable institutions are setting their sights on the digital asset.
Tapiero said this on an episode of The Breakdown with Nathaniel Whittemore. According to the macro investor, the amount of stimulus pumped into the money supply has brought a transformation to the financial landscape.

In the course of the conversation, Tapiero stated that Ethereum (ETH) is likely to receive more attention from institutional investors as the economic landscape continues to shift.

I don’t want to say it’s a prediction but if you asked me like, ‘What could be a surprising thing that could happen that people aren’t thinking about?’ That would be something that would be surprising.”
“The fact that Northern Trust, which is a very staid, very traditional custodian, has come out and said that they’re going to custody cryptocurrency. Now, they have $13 trillion of assets in custody and $1.3 trillion in assets under management, and so what could happen? So they’re custodying Bitcoin and Ethereum, so I think that if we start to see that, you might really start to have another leg under Ethereum, and again Ethereum has outperformed Bitcoin this year and there’s a lot of rocket fuel there…
