盈透证券集团亿万富翁创始人托马斯·彼得菲建议投资者将净资产的2-3%投资于Bitcoin。他表示,他的公司只允许客户将总资产的 10% 投入加密货币。
Peterffy 认为,由于价格波动的相关风险,每个没有Bitcoin人都应该想方设法拥有一些比特币,但不要太多。然而,他担心加密货币与纸币一样有价值,因为它们没有内在价值。在社会主义社会长大的彼得菲坚信,自由市场经济是有效管理社会的唯一途径。

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.
Interactive Brokers introduced AI-powered functionalities to help investors make smarter and faster decisions. Steve Sanders, the EVP of Marketing and Product Development at Interactive Brokers said AI enabled the retail brokerage firm to deliver valuable insights in seconds. He said the new feature would help Interactive Brokers’ investors understand how breaking news affected their portfolios.
Leveraging the power of AI, the tool extracted market-relevant information, which allowed clients to scan for important updates quickly and gave them more time to make informed decisions about managing their portfolios. According to Interactive Brokers, the ability to filter news-related asset classes in portfolios and wish lists made it easy for investors to stay up-to-date, which directly impacted their investments.
Sanders clarified that the AI-generated news summaries feature gave investors a powerful way to pinpoint the information that mattered most, making research fast, impactful, and accessible.
