Matt Hougan, the chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management, believes traditional finance (TradFi) is diving headfirst into the crypto market. He’s seeing a major shift in investment strategies.
From Bitcoin to Beyond
Hougan explains that after massive gains in Bitcoin ETFs, TradFi firms aren’t just sitting on their profits. They’re actively seeking higher returns in the crypto world. He uses the analogy of investors moving beyond safer bets to explore riskier, potentially higher-reward options like Circle, Ethereum, and even Solana treasury companies. He sees this as a clear “altseason” for TradFi.
The Trend is Just Beginning
According to Hougan, this trend is still in its early stages and is likely to accelerate. He dismisses the idea that the crypto market is in a bubble, arguing that we’re still in the early stages of adoption, similar to the internet’s growth in the late 1990s. He points to the increasing number of inquiries he receives as evidence of growing interest. He believes that a bullish outlook on Bitcoin only strengthens this trend, creating a self-reinforcing cycle.
