Crypto.com CEO Predicts Strong Q4 On Fed Rate Cut Hopes

Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek is confident that digital assets will be boosted in the fourth quarter of the year, primarily driven by the US central bank reducing interest rates.

He added that he’s betting on the US Federal Reserve cutting interest rates at its Sept. 17 meeting, which is usually good for crypto as borrowing becomes cheaper and more liquidity is available for riskier investments.

No decision yet on IPO 

Marszalek said his company “has the numbers” to do a public listing but enjoys being private and has yet to make a decision.

“I have to admit it’s quite tempting to consider these options,” he said on a potential initial public offering. Multiple crypto firms have raised billions of dollars this year amid their public debuts.

He added that the firm had $1.5 billion in revenue last year, and about $1 billion in gross profit with $700 million reinvested, before predicting that this year will be better. 

Venturing into prediction markets 

Marszalek also revealed that the firm was planning to enter the prediction market space. “We think that prediction markets are going to be huge,” he said, adding, “sports is a part of it, but it’s not the whole thing.” 

Blockchain prediction markets are currently dominated by Polymarket and Kalshi, which have hit regulatory and legal hurdles in offering event contracts in the US.
