I’m optimistic in the sense that I think the greatest fortunes are made when people go against conventional wisdom.

“Who knows where crypto is going to be, but right now crypto has been beaten dramatically,” he pointed out, indicating the opportunities in the sector.

He then confirmed that he was a crypto investor. “Not just crypto itself, but I’ve personally invested in companies that surround the industry, not just cryptocurrencies themselves, but companies that serve the industry,” the co-founder said. of the Carlyle group. Coinbase (Nasdaq:COIN) is an example of one of these companies, Rubenstein said, adding that these companies “have not done really well lately” due to falling crypto prices.

But over time, I don’t think the industry will go away.

Regarding cryptocurrency regulation, he told the outlet that in his opinion, “members of Congress are not going to push to unduly regulate this industry.”

Rubenstein said:

The crypto constituency is very strong in Congress. They tend to be Republican, Libertarian, and very willing to spend money on lobbying.

“I think the industry is not going to be soft on dealing with members of Congress. I think they’re going to be pretty aggressive, and I think Congressmen will act by not pushing the regulators to do more than they don’t already,” the Carlyle Group co-founder added.
