Crypto, whether currencies or assets, has been seen independent of the rest of the financial system because it's constructed around an "isolated" ledger.However, examples are popping up all over the place indicating that "crypto" cannot really be independent of other assets and financial markets.Hence, legislators and regulators and policymakers are going to have to get more involved in bringing transparency, stability, and trust to the "crypto".The world is inter-related, economic markets are inter-related, and financial markets are inter-related, and cryptocurrencies and cryptoassets are just another part of this whole.Investors are going to have to fully understand this as they assess their investment choices and decide on how cryptoassets are gong to fit into their investment portfolios.
