Cantor Fitzgerald CEO predicts US banks to hold Bitcoin within 5 years

Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick recently articulated his vision for Bitcoin’s integration into traditional finance, emphasizing its potential to become a pivotal asset in the financial industry.

Lutnick highlighted the gradual acceptance of Bitcoin within mainstream finance, noting that while an ETF has begun to make Bitcoin more mainstream, banks are still unable to engage with it due to regulatory constraints. He explained,

“Right now there’s an ETF just starting to go a little bit mainstream, maybe a toe in the water of mainstream, but Banks still can’t clear it. Banks still can’t transact in it.”

He pointed out that banks currently cannot clear, transact, or custodian Bitcoin, mainly because they would need to set aside equivalent amounts of their own capital to hold it, which is not feasible under current regulations. “If a bank were to hold your Bitcoin, they would have to set aside their own money equal to that amount in sort of like in a jail,” Lutnick stated, illustrating the regulatory hurdles that banks face.

However, he expressed optimism that future regulatory changes would enable banks and traditional financial service companies to embrace Bitcoin fully, predicting an upward trajectory for its value once it is recognized as an economic asset by regulatory bodies like the CFTC. He added,

“Eventually there’s going to be a CFTC chair who says, you know what, Bitcoin is a financial asset and we’re going to treat it as such.”

Lutnick’s remarks also touched on the broader financial ecosystem, including his support for stablecoins like Tether. He stressed the importance of stablecoins in supporting the US economy, mainly through their backing by US Treasuries, which provide liquidity and earn interest. This, he argued, is crucial for maintaining dollar hegemony.

At Bitcoin 2024, Cantor Fitzgerald announced a significant initiative in Bitcoin financing. It plans to launch a $2 billion lending business that will expand in increments of $2 billion based on demand. This move reflects Cantor Fitzgerald’s commitment to building a robust ecosystem for Bitcoin, offering leverage to Bitcoin owners, and collaborating with top custodians to support the digital asset community.

Lutnick’s stance is clear: He views Bitcoin as a valuable asset akin to gold and advocates unrestricted trade worldwide. “That’s what’s going to happen, and it’s coming. It’s a slow, steady process, but ultimately, over the next five years, as it gets invited into this party, up we go,” he concluded.

He believes that as regulatory environments evolve, Bitcoin will become a cornerstone of international finance, with Cantor Fitzgerald leading the charge in integrating Bitcoin into mainstream financial markets. This initiative is part of a broader trend where financial institutions increasingly recognize digital currencies as legitimate assets, paving the way for their inclusion in financial portfolios.
