Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that Bitcoin's increasing momentum, ETF demand, and institutional adoption may indicate early signs of a new crypto bull run, driven by factors including tokenization, stablecoins, and blockchain-based financial markets. Hougan pointed out that since July 1st, Bitcoin has risen by 9%, while the Nasdaq 100 has fallen by 6%. He noted that market sentiment and ETF flows have improved, but the market has not yet confirmed a bottom. Hougan believes the next crypto cycle will focus on the convergence of blockchain technology and traditional finance, encompassing stablecoins, tokenization, 24/7 trading, instant settlement, and the expansion of institutional DeFi to a trillion-dollar scale. Hougan views Hyperliquid and Robinhood as two paths for on-chain finance. He stated that nearly half of Hyperliquid's trading volume comes from traditional assets such as crude oil, silver, and the S&P 500. Robinhood launched Robinhood Chain on July 1st to support tokenized stocks and DeFi services.
