짐 크레이머, 암호화폐 적극 매수 권고…마이클 세일러 ’비트코인만이 진정한 디지털 자산’ 주장

CNBC의 짐 크레이머가 암호화폐 시장에 대한 강력한 매수 신호를 발표하면서 디지털 자산 시장이 다시 뜨거워지고 있다.

비트코인 최대주의자의 선언

마이클 세일러는 최근 인터뷰에서 '암호화폐가 아닌 비트코인'이라는 강력한 메시지를 전달하며 알트코인과의 차별성을 강조했다. 그의 주장에 따르면 비트코인만이 진정한 디지털 금의 지위를 누릴 자격이 있다.

기관투자자들의 움직임

월가 애널리스트들은 최근 몇 주간 암호화폐 관련 주식과 ETF로의 자금 유입이 두드러지게 증가했다고 보고한다. 이는 전통 금융계가 디지털 자산을 본격적으로 인정하기 시작했음을 의미한다.

암호화폐 시장의 분화

비트코인이 시가총액 1위를 고수하는 가운데, 이더리움을 비롯한 주요 알트코인들도 상승세를 이어가고 있다. 하지만 세일러의 경고처럼 모든 코인이 동등하게 생성된 것은 아니다.

전문가들은 이번 움직임이 단순한 투기 열기가 아닌 디지털 자산 시장의 성숙 단계로의 진입을 의미한다고 분석한다. 물론, 여전히 전통 금융권에서는 이 모든 것을 '디지털 공룡들의 춤'이라고 비아냥거리는 목소리도 존재한다.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Boeing has reportedly started working on a single-aisle aircraft that could eventually succeed the 737 Max, as the plane maker looks to regain business lost to rival Airbus.

Boeing (BA) has reportedly started work on a next-generation single-aisle aircraft that could succeed the 737 Max, as the plane Maker looks to regain business lost to rival Airbus after a spate of quality problems.

The 737 Max, the latest generation of the 737 family of narrow-body jets, is the plane maker's best-selling jet. According to The Wall Street Journal, CEO Kelly Ortberg met with executives from the U.K.’s Rolls-Royce earlier this year to discuss a new engine for the aircraft. The report, which cited people familiar with the matter, said the company believes "a cutting-edge plane design could power its business for the next few decades.”

"Our teams continue to be focused on our recovery plan," a company spokesperson said. " At the same time, as we have done over the decades, our team evaluates the market, advances key technologies, and improves our financial performance, so that we will be ready when the time is right to MOVE forward with a new product.”

Why This News Is Significant

Boeing, a Dow component, is under pressure to regain business lost to European rival Airbus after crashes involving the 737 Max. A replacement for the single-aisle jet could help restore Boeing's reputation and provide an added catalyst for the company's shares, which are up by more than a fifth this year.

The report also said a deal with Rolls-Royce WOULD mark a departure for Boeing, which has used engines from a joint venture between GE Aerospace (GE) and France's Safran for the last four decades to power its 737 narrow-body planes. The Federal Aviation Administration would have to approve the new plane, the report said.

The 737 Max Has Had a Troubled History Since Its 2017 Launch

The 737 Max has faced issues since its launch in 2017, including a series of accidents that led to its grounding for a year in 2019. The FAA put a cap on production of the jets after a mid-air blowout of a door panel on an Alaska Airlines (ALK) 737 Max flight in January 2024.

This year has been better. The FAA is easing restrictions it has placed over aircraft deliveries, signaling that it is seeing progress in the company’s quality-improvement efforts under Ortberg.

Boeing has meanwhile logged orders for its 787 Dreamliners from Uzbekistan Airways and Turkish Airlines in the past week. Unlike the single-aisle 737, which is mainly used for short- to medium-range flights, the 787 Dreamliner is a twin-aisle wide-body jet designed for long-haul international travel.

Boeing shares have risen about 20% this year. They are down more than 1% in recent trading. Read Investopedia's roundup of today's trading here.
