Joel Kruger, a trader, collector of digital art and bitcoin, and strategist at LMAX Group, discusses his background in investment banking and how he got involved with LMAX Group. He provides an overview of the institutional exchange's FX and cryptocurrency offerings and his role as a strategist at the LMAX Group. Why you should listen Joel shares his thoughts on traditional markets such as equities and currencies, noting concerns about inflation potentially putting pressure on equity markets. On the other hand, he is optimistic about the outlook for cryptocurrencies in 2023 due to positive fundamentals that are specific to crypto. While there are regulatory headwinds that need to be addressed before full institutional adoption can take place, Joel believes that all signs point towards increased interest in this asset class from larger players looking to allocate down the line. Joel Kruger shares his views on the SEC's mixed commentary and lack of regulatory clarity for the crypto industry. He emphasizes the importance of providing a regulatory-compliant structure for clients, while also acknowledging that regulators don't want to make any hasty decisions. Kruger is optimistic about the potential in digital assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, which he sees as complementary to each other. He also discusses NFTs and believes that their current bearish market is just another cycle that will eventually lead to a flight to quality within the space. Finally, Kruger encourages investors to apply calmness during periods of excess craziness when believing in an asset's value proposition.

Despite a potential collapse in huge DeFi yield farming returns in the next six months, the majority (64%) of panellists on Finder’s Cryptocurrency Predictions Report panel say DeFi applications will be continued to grow steadily in value locked and user count over the next 12 months. Of the remaining panellists just 13% are bearish on DeFi application growth and 23%, including LMAX Group currency strategist, Joel Kruger, are unsure. “While we believe the growth is there over the coming years, we’re concerned about the potential for a bubble burst that compromises growth prospects over the next 12 months, with things having run so far and fast,” he said. Over a third (37%) of the panel, including Alpha5 CEO, Vishal Shah, said it’s impossible to predict how long huge DeFi yield farming returns will last. “As more enter the space to hunt the same yield, yields naturally collapse...And in some instances, even go negative when you adjust for costs of transaction and starting exposure. However, the failure of one is often supplanted by another hype. The continuity of the hype cycle will just be a function of greed. But there are very few platforms that appear to promise longevity,” he said. On polar ends of the spectrum, 13% of panellists think enormous DeFi yield farming returns will last for more than six months and 7% say they’ll collapse any day. However, the majority of those who gave a specific timeframe say big yields will last for less than six months (37% of the panel). Wave financial associate, Andrew Ballinger, warned 100% per annum returns are based on a short time window. “As more players enter the space, inefficiencies will be arbitraged away and yields will consolidate. These 100% per annum returns are based on a short time window and can not be expected to hold across longer time frames. That being said, I expect DeFi yields to stay compelling, and am eager to watch the space develop further,” he said. TradeStation Crypto’s head of product, James Putra, said a liquidity crunch would bring an end to strong yields. “There are a lot of people unfamiliar with margin currently using leverage to drive up returns. Most of the projects are barely tested before being released into the wild. Watch for market structure events that will trigger a fast liquidation of open positions. People are not sure exactly what they own,” he said. Putra is part of the nearly three-quarters of the panel (73%) who called out ‘scams, excessive hype, and market manipulation’ as a main obstacle to DeFi growth. Other obstacles include general cryptocurrency frictions (50%), a lack of public awareness (43%), and a lack of genuine value and real-world application (27%). Will Ethereum continue to dominate DeFi? Nearly a third of panellists (29%), including Arcane research analyst, Vetle Lunde, said Ethereum will continue to dominate the DeFi landscape over the next 12 months, Lunde noted that Ethereum has the first mover advantage despite high transaction fees and the uncertainty involved with the ETH 2.0 transition. “Yet, protocols such as Polkadot and Solana could also experience more growth, and their interoperability could also be beneficiary for Ethereum,” he conceded. The panel predicts ETH will be valued at US$513 by the end of the year on average as it continues to benefit from the DeFi boom and appreciation after the launch of ETH 2.0. However, ETH may lose market share over the next year, with 43% of panellists predicting there will be a few (less than five) and 21% many (more than five) separate popular widely-used DeFi ecosystems. Still, nearly half the panel (48%) think now is the time to buy Ethereum, 42% hold, and just 10% sell. Finder Cofounder, Fred Schebesta, says it’s best to hold for now, given it’s impossible to predict how long the strong performance will last. “Like Bitcoin, Ethereum could well see its market reflect equities. Despite being strong now, there is the question of how ...

The is one subject on the agenda for this week’s podcast – the return of volatility to FX markets. Joining P&L’s managing editor Colin Lambert to discuss the issue are David Mercer, CEO of LMAX Group, and Joel Kruger, currency strategist at LMAX Exchange. After Kruger provides his view of current conditions in, and drivers of, markets (including the challenges of central banks and governments managing the current crisis with “exhausted policy tanks”), and Lambert observes that any “emergency” policy measure aimed at calming markets do anything but; he and Mercer turn to the impact of these events on the FX platform world. Acknowledging that most platforms saw record days, Mercer also expresses his concern at the downside of the current volatility, specifically how businesses and the global economy may be negatively impacted going forward. He and Lambert then chat about FX markets in crisis conditions and the dichotomy of the risks of a global economic downturn increasing at the same time as the platforms’ customers generally are, to quote Lambert, “making nine months’ budget in a few weeks”. There is time for Lambert to poke fun at people bemoaning what they see as “the wrong kind of volatility”, as well as share a story from Black Wednesday in 1992 when sterling dropped out of the ERM, before the conversation turns to customer and liquidity provider trading behaviour – and yes, there is time for a quick chat about competing with last look platforms!
