Bitwise Senior Executive Assesses the Latest Situation in Bitcoin and Altcoins: “Ethereum Will Lead the Way Out of the Bear Market”
Bitwise Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Matt Hougan stated in a recent interview that recent volatility in the cryptocurrency market, far from scaring institutional investors, has presented them with the “entry opportunity” they’ve been waiting for.
Hougan argued that organizations are preparing to make up for missed opportunities in 2024 and 2025 with this adjustment.
According to Hougan, while individual investors become discouraged during sharp market downturns (such as when the Fear and Greed Index falls to levels around 5), institutions view this process with a 5-10 year perspective. Noting that it typically takes eight meetings for institutional investors to decide on an allocation to an asset, Hougan stated, “This process isn’t moving at Twitter speed, it’s moving at an institutional pace.”

A Bitwise executive predicts that Bitcoin ETFs will reach an asset size of $1 trillion over time.
He stated that under current market conditions, institutions are in a “marginal buyer” position and it seems difficult for prices to fall below these levels.
In the interview, Hougan also touched upon assets other than Bitcoin, stating that institutions have a “maximum bullish” approach, particularly towards tokenization and stablecoin technologies. Strategic moves by giants like BlackRock on Uniswap and their plans to tokenize all their ETFs within the next 3 to 12 months are considered one of the strongest signals for the future of the sector.
Hougan likened Ethereum’s recent “layer 1 focused” vision shift to Steve Jobs’ return to Apple, suggesting it could lead the way out of the bear market.
