đ Wall Streetâs âInfinite Money Glitchâ Hits Altcoins: What You Need to Know
Wall Streetâs financial engineeringâstructuring debt, equity, and derivatives to generate returnsâis no longer confined to traditional markets. It's now a key strategy in crypto, particularly through whatâs being called the Crypto Treasury Strategy.
đ How It Works:
Pioneered by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy).
Companies issue convertible notes and stock offerings to raise cash.
That capital is used to buy crypto (initially Bitcoin).
Share price rises after each announcement, enabling further capital raises.
This cycle creates a âflywheel effectâ, now known as the Infinite Money Glitch.
đ Why Altcoins?
Bitcoinâs market is mature; altcoins offer bigger early-stage upside.
Firms now apply this strategy to tokens like ETH, SOL, and XRP.
According to Animoca Brands, altcoin-focused treasury announcements boosted stock prices:
+161% on announcement day
+226% after 30 days
đ But Thereâs a Catch:
Token prices themselves didnât move much.
Investors prefer buying into the companies executing these strategies, treating them like publicly traded altcoin ETFs (since formal ETFs donât yet exist).
Risks remain high: if markets turn, these leveraged strategies could unravel fast.
đŻ Conclusion
Wall Streetâs financial engineering is now a core growth engine for crypto firms, especially in altcoins. Whether this Infinite Money Glitch is sustainable depends on how long bullish sentiment lastsâbut for now, it's fueling both share prices and crypto optimism.
