Thomas Peterffy, el multimillonario fundador de Interactive Brokers Group, recomendó que los inversores tengan entre el 2 y el 3% de los activos netos en Bitcoin . Dijo que su empresa sólo permitía a sus clientes invertir hasta el 10% de sus activos totales en criptomonedas.
Peterffy cree que todos los que no tienen Bitcoin deberían encontrar formas de poseer algo, pero no demasiado, debido al riesgo asociado de fluctuaciones de precios. Sin embargo, le preocupaba que las criptomonedas fueran tan valiosas como el papel moneda, ya que no tenían valor intrínseco. Habiendo crecido en una sociedad socialista, Peterffy estaba convencido de que una economía de libre mercado era la única forma de gestionar una sociedad de manera eficiente.

Peterffy, the chair of the retail brokerage firm Interactive Brokers, said investing a small portion in Bitcoin was advisable. He, however, cautioned against having too much exposure to cryptocurrencies in general because it was ‘dangerous’. Peterffy, who was initially critical of Bitcoin, argued that Bitcoin should be separated from the ‘real economy’ as the CME prepared to launch Bitcoin futures.
The Interactive Brokers chair went on to predict that Bitcoin could bring down the whole economy. Peterffy was surprised that the rapid implosion of the FTX crypto empire in November did not cause a steeper Bitcoin correction. He also forecasted a market downturn, although he predicted it would not be ‘very violent’ or ‘go very far’.
Speaking with Bloomberg’s Sonali Basak from the Goldman Sachs Inc. conference, Peterffy revealed that he had invested ‘just a little’ in crypto since July 2021. He added that there was a small chance of crypto emerging as a dominant currency back then.
“Even I myself have put a little bit of money into crypto, because even though chances are, I think, that this is not going to be a viable market, I think that there’s a small chance that this will be a dominant currency, so you have to play the odds.”
Peterffy remained unsure about Bitcoin’s worth, saying that its price could either spiral down to zero or skyrocket to a million dollars. ‘I have no idea,’ he said. He, however, advised investors to use crypto as a hedge against plummeting fiat currencies. Peterffy claimed that his platform was the most efficient for crypto trading, other than Robinhood.
