"We are on a mission to bring crypto to the world, and our valuation hopefully will be a reflection of our success in achieving that mission," Powell said.

The Kraken CEO also thinks that bitcoin's recent sell-off was triggered by "swing traders," and people who entered the market only last year. Powell thinks that people who have been in the market for the fundamental reasons understand the true long-term impact of cryptocurrencies.
