Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) and Ether (ETH<\/a>) are sure long bets for 2022, prominent investor and commenter Zhu Su says.<\/p>\n In a tweet on Feb. 10, Zhu, co-founder of hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC), argued that BTC and ETH were the best options for investment this year, along with oil, while the S&P 500 is a no-go.<\/p>\n Despite concerns that deflationary pressures could take Bitcoin and altcoins down with equities, not everyone believes that 2022 will be a red year for hodlers.<\/p>\n The picture is complex \u2014 some are eyeing<\/a> a \u201cmelt-up\u201d for stocks and crypto as a result, thanks to positive correlation. Others feel a painful period is due across the board but that at least Bitcoin will emerge stronger<\/a> thereafter.<\/p>\n Ex-BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes, meanwhile, has been solidly gloomy<\/a> on the macro outlook since the start of the year.<\/p>\n For Zhu, however, there are now \u201cpretty clear\u201d places to hedge cash for the coming three quarters.<\/p>\n Think the year’s macro trades are pretty clear for me now:<\/p>\n 1) long oil dec22, dec23 fwd \u2014 Zhu Su (@zhusu) February 10, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n An additional Twitter post agreed that adding Visa and Mastercard as fiat payments processors was also a \u201cno brainer\u201d for shorts.<\/p>\n The forecast followed rumors that BlackRock, the world\u2019s largest asset manager, is allegedly aiming to enter the cryptocurrency space.<\/p>\n Related:\u00a0Price analysis 2\/9: BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, ADA, SOL, LUNA, AVAX, DOT, DOGE<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n According to several people with knowledge of the matter quoted<\/a> by mainstream media, BlackRock clients could soon be able to trade crypto, while the giant will also facilitate credit in return for crypto collateral.<\/p>\n One source described BlackRock\u2019s approach as \u201clooking to get hands-on with outright crypto.\u201d<\/p>\n The Canadian branch of Big Four accounting conglomerate KPMG announced it had\u00a0added both Bitcoin and Ether to its balance sheet<\/a>\u00a0this week.<\/p>\n All in all, in the words of popular trader and analyst Pentoshi, adoption has fuelled an \u201cinsane 24 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n $BTC<\/a> <\/p>\n Insane 24 hours<\/p>\n Some random Canadian company bought way less $BTC<\/a> than I own<\/p>\n Russia adopted crypto So why price struggle here? <\/p>\n Reclaims = safety off invalidations \u2014 Pentoshi Forbes worst trader 40 years running (@Pentosh1) February 10, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n As Cointelegraph reported, however, near-term BTC price gains remain far from a dead certainty for the bulls<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nZhu: 2022 macro trades \u201cpretty clear\u201d<\/h2>\n
