Bitwise 高管：未来十年机构资金或推动比特币吸纳数万亿美元配置
Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that as Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as a mainstream financial asset by financial advisors, family offices, pension funds, insurance institutions, and sovereign wealth funds, it could attract institutional capital inflows worth trillions of dollars over the next decade. He pointed out that global large institutions manage approximately $100 trillion to $200 trillion in assets, and if about 1% of that were allocated to Bitcoin, it would be sufficient to support its long-term price expectations.
Bitwise CEO: Inflation-Reduction Proposals Reflect Despair and Helplessness; the Right Path Is Growing Demand
Odaily News, Bitwise CEO posted on X platform, stating that these proposals to reduce inflation reflect, in his view, despair and helplessness. People want to see their asset valuations rise but do not know what else they can do to achieve this. He believes that rather than turning toward creating value, capturing value, and driving demand—things that are harder but where real growth lies—people are instead turning to austerity, reducing the economic benefits for ecosystem participants and holders. The right path is harder, but also simple: grow demand.
Bitcoin bear market's three main causes revealed, but the industry expects a potential rebound to $100,000 by year-end
Odaily Bitcoin has been declining since October last year, with its current price hovering around half of its all-time high of $126,000, indicating the market remains in a deep bear phase. Multiple industry analysts believe the current pressure on Bitcoin stems primarily from three factors: the four-year cycle, macroeconomic inflationary pressures, and market leverage liquidations.Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, stated that Bitcoin's long-standing "four-year cycle" continues to influence investor psychology. Historically, Bitcoin typically undergoes approximately three years of an upward cycle followed by a one-year correction period. Investors have developed cyclical expectations and began reducing some long-term holdings towards the end of 2025.Additionally, the macroeconomic environment is a significant drag on Bitcoin. Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale, pointed out that rising inflationary pressures in the US have weakened market expectations for interest rate cuts. Investors are shifting towards higher-yielding traditional assets, leading to capital outflows from risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. The short-term bottom is estimated to be around $58,000, with future trends still influenced by interest rate policies, corporate Bitcoin buying behavior, and progress in US crypto regulatory legislation.Excessive market leverage has also exacerbated this correction. As a large number of investors expanded their Bitcoin exposure through borrowing and financing during the bull market, derivatives open interest has declined as the market weakened. Digital asset treasury companies have also come under pressure. Strategy's stock price has fallen approximately 75% since October last year, and its previously promoted model of corporate Bitcoin accumulation is facing renewed market scrutiny.However, some analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin's prospects. Adrian Fritz, Chief Investment Strategist at 21Shares, predicts that Bitcoin may bottom out this summer, rebound after interest rates shift towards easing and geopolitical conflicts ease, with a year-end price target of $100,000.

Bitwise CEO: The crypto market is undergoing an “internet-bubble-style” shakeout, and only a few projects with proven value will emerge victorious
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley (@HHorsley) stated that the crypto market is undergoing a cyclical shift similar to the dot-com bubble burst of the 2000s—previously, numerous projects commanded high valuations based on “possibility narratives,” whereas the market is now transitioning toward maturity. Going forward, the number of winners will shrink dramatically; however, those projects that emerge victorious based on verifiable fundamentals will achieve scale and longevity exceeding market expectations.
Bitcoin Treasury Company Nakamoto Sells Approximately 600 BTC to Repay Debt
the Bitcoin treasury company Nakamoto officially announced that it generated approximately $48 million in net proceeds by selling about 600 BTC and related derivative positions, thereby repaying approximately $45 million in outstanding debt to Kraken. This move is expected to reduce annual financing costs by approximately $4 million.Following the transaction, the company signed a new loan term sheet with Kraken for the remaining 165 million USDT, with a principal of 105 million USDT deferred to June 30, 2027, and an annual interest rate that can be reduced to 7.75% upon meeting the Bitwise custodied wallet collateral threshold. Additionally, the company’s board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $25 million. Currently, the company still holds approximately 4,467 BTC on its balance sheet. Furthermore, according to a notice from Nasdaq, the company has regained compliance with listing requirements.
Morpho completes $175 million funding round, led by a16z Crypto and Paradigm
DeFi lending protocol Morpho has announced the completion of a $175 million funding round, led by a16z Crypto, Paradigm, and Ribbit Capital, with participation from Apollo Funds, Circle Ventures, VanEck, and other institutions.The report states that this funding round was priced based on the average price of Morpho tokens over the past month, corresponding to a valuation of approximately $2 billion for the protocol. Morpho allows institutions to customize lending markets and risk parameters on-chain and has already attracted adoption by institutions such as Coinbase, Kraken, Anchorage Digital, and Galaxy Digital.Data shows that Morpho's current Total Value Locked (TVL) is approximately $6.6 billion. The company stated that it will continue to expand its institutional-grade DeFi lending business and strengthen competition with lending protocols like Aave. (Fortune)
Analysis: The Era of "Bitcoin vs. Banks" Is Ending, Trillion-Dollar Financial Institutions Accelerate Crypto Adoption
Odaily News: As Wall Street and global financial institutions accelerate their entry into the digital asset space, the boundaries between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) are gradually blurring. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated that the era of "going long Bitcoin and short bankers" is over, and financial institutions are pivoting to the other side of the crypto industry, driving digital asset adoption.Hunter Horsley noted that this summer, two financial institutions, each managing over $1 trillion in assets, approved the launch of crypto products in a bear market environment, showing that large institutions are expanding client access to digital assets. "Everyone put on the crypto jersey this year. Now, everyone is working for the crypto industry," Horsley said. He pointed out that these institutions, managing over a trillion dollars in client assets, would not have opened such services during the 2022 crypto market downturn, but are now actively embracing this sector.Fabian Dori, Chief Investment Officer at Sygnum, also believes the relationship between banks and the crypto industry has undergone a structural shift. "The trade of 'going long Bitcoin and short bankers' is over. Banks have moved from resisting digital assets to building, supporting, and distributing them through custody, tokenization, and compliant trading," a change driven primarily by growing client demand and gradually clarifying regulatory rules, rather than short-term market cycles.Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage Digital, said that over the past two years, its client base has increasingly reflected the convergence of traditional and crypto finance. Large financial institutions typically choose to partner with specialized crypto infrastructure companies rather than building their own technology systems.In recent years, a growing number of financial institutions have entered the crypto space, including Swissquote, DBS Bank, BBVA, BNY Mellon, Credit Suisse-affiliated entities, as well as Morgan Stanley and Charles Schwab.

Bitwise CIO: Bitcoin May Have Touched Bear Market Bottom
Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated in an interview with Bloomberg that the Bitcoin price has not reacted significantly to negative news recently, such as the Coldcard security incident, Strategy sell-off, and the CLARITY Act's progress falling short of expectations, which may indicate that Bitcoin has approached or reached the bottom of this bear market.

Ethereum Staking Reward Cut Proposal Sparks Outrage: Community Fears Damage to DeFi and Weakened Decentralization
Odaily News - Ethereum Improvement Proposal EIP-8363 ("Tapered Issuance Burn") has triggered strong backlash from the community, becoming one of the most contentious debates over Ethereum's economic model since The Merge. The proposal, put forward by Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake, ETHCC co-founder Jerome de Tychey, and others, aims to gradually reduce validator rewards as the ETH staking ratio rises, ultimately bringing new issuance down to zero when staked ETH reaches 50% of the total supply.However, the proposal has drawn opposition from DeFi developers, staking service providers, and institutional investors alike. Critics argue that lowering staking yields could weaken the network's decentralization, disrupt Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem, and heighten market uncertainty around ETH's monetary policy. Opponents believe market mechanisms can already naturally regulate staking demand. Berryman noted that as yields decline to around 2%, new staking demand may naturally taper off, without the need for protocol-level changes to issuance policy.Ether.fi founder Mike Silagadze stated that the proposal is "detrimental to decentralization, Ethereum adoption, and the network's reputation." Bitwise Ethereum business lead Steve Berryman also pointed out that institutional investors require policy certainty, and adjusting the issuance mechanism could introduce additional uncertainty. Greg Koumoutsos, technical research lead at the Lido Labs Foundation, noted that Ethereum pays not only in "slashable ETH" but also in decentralization, node diversity, censorship resistance, and network resilience. Aave founder Stani Kulechov also warned that reducing ETH staking yields could impact the DeFi ecosystem, as a large volume of staking derivatives has become an integral part of lending and yield strategies.Additionally, the community is concerned that lowering staking rewards could paradoxically intensify centralization. Since individual validators lack economies of scale, declining yields may drive smaller nodes to exit, while large exchanges and institutional staking providers—backed by greater business demand—could continue expanding their market share.Currently, EIP-8363 involves not only staking reward adjustments but has also sparked broad discussions over Ethereum's long-term monetary policy, governance stability, and institutional confidence. The community believes that such a significant change to the economic model requires more thorough debate and a longer evaluation period. (Cointelegraph)
Bitwise CIO: If Clarity Act Fails to Pass, Market May See Autumn Rally After Short-Term Volatility
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan posted that if the Clarity Act fails to pass this week, the ideal scenario is for Polymarket odds to drop significantly to the teens to eliminate market uncertainty. He pointed out that the market may experience brief volatility at that time, but it will create conditions for an autumn market rebound.
Bitwise CIO: Even If the Clarity Act Does Not Pass This Week, the Crypto Industry Will Still Move Forward
According to The Block, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that even if the US Clarity Act fails to pass this week, the crypto industry will still find a way forward. The US Congress will enter summer recess from August 10 to September 11, leaving the Clarity Act with only a three-day window to advance in the Senate. Hougan pointed out that if the bill fails to pass, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins may directly introduce regulatory rules more friendly to the crypto industry, which could even become an accelerator for industry development. However, he also warned that delayed legislation will increase market uncertainty, further hindering institutional investors from entering the market.

Bitcoin Approximately 69-73 Days Away from Cycle Bottom, Analysts and Institutions Disagree on Four-Year Cycle
According to BeInCrypto, crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen stated that Bitcoin is currently on day 1,363 of this cycle, while the past two cycles bottomed out on day 1,432 and day 1,436 respectively. Based on this, the bottom of this cycle is estimated to appear in October 2026, approximately 69-73 days from now. Cowen also pointed out that August and September have historically been seasonally weak periods for Bitcoin, with an average decline of about 10% in August during midterm election years. However, this prediction faces institutional-level skepticism. Fidelity pointed out that within months after Bitcoin hit an all-time high, one-year volatility touched a new low, a signal that never appeared in previous cycles; Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan believes that continuous inflows into spot ETFs and corporate balance sheet allocation demands have weakened traditional halving cycle patterns; Grayscale's 2026 outlook report also holds a similar view. Cowen, however, insists that although tops are becoming flatter, the bottom ranges of the four cycles have hardly shifted.

Bitwise Q3 Staking Report: Ethereum Staking Amount Reaches 40.2 Million ETH, Accounting for 33% of Total Supply
Bitwise released its Q3 2026 staking report. Currently, 40.2 million ETH are staked, accounting for 33% of the total supply. New staking this year primarily comes from institutions, including staking ETFs, corporate treasuries, and other large holders, continuing to increase despite price declines. Staking ratios on other networks also remain high: Solana at 68%, Near at 45%, Hyperliquid at 44%, and Avalanche at 41%. Ethereum throughput increased 73% year-over-year, while Avalanche trading volume grew 4x year-over-year. Institutional staking is also expanding to emerging networks.
Bitwise CIO: The Next Crypto Bull Run Will Revolve Around Stablecoins, Tokenization, and Institutional DeFi
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.
Bitwise Releases Q3 2026 Staking Report: Activity on Various Mainnets Rises but Revenue Generally Declines, Institutional Entry Becomes Core Theme
, According to the "2026 Q3 Staking Report" released by Bitwise, 2026 Q2 presented a divergent pattern of "rising on-chain activity, declining fee revenue," with the core driving factor being protocols actively reducing block space costs. In terms of core data for each chain, Ethereum's active staked amount hit a record high of 40.2 million ETH (accounting for 33% of total supply), network revenue decreased 51% year-over-year to $64 million, but rebounded quarter-over-quarter when denominated in ETH; Solana Q2 Real Economic Value (REV) dropped to $51 million, significantly shrunk compared to the peak of $812 million in 2025 Q1, but non-voting transaction volume reached 9.8 billion, and on-chain activity remained resilient; Hyperliquid Q2 protocol total revenue was $174.8 million, perpetual contract trading volume reached $652 billion, and the proportion of non-crypto assets (commodities, stock indices, etc.) rose to 32%; Avalanche C-Chain transaction volume increased approximately fourfold year-over-year to 236 million, but network revenue, due to a significant decrease in fees, remained only $330,000; NEAR, due to the collapse of Kai-Ching application activity, Q2 on-chain transaction volume plummeted 75% to 77.7 million, but Intents execution layer generated fees approximately 68 times that of the base chain. In terms of institutional adoption, BlackRock launched Ethereum Staking ETF (ETHB), Coin

Bitwise CIO: AI Agents and Asset Tokenization Could Drive 50-100x Growth in Blockchain Transaction Volume
Odaily News, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Matt Hougan stated that the market may be significantly underestimating the scale of future blockchain trading activity. As real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and AI agents reshape financial markets, on-chain transaction volume could potentially grow 50x or even 100x in the future.In his latest investment memo, Hougan pointed out that crypto investors currently hold three major misconceptions, one of which is underestimating the future reach of blockchain applications. He believes that bringing traditional assets on-chain and AI agents participating in trading will significantly boost on-chain activity. The tokenized stock market alone could bring a 10x increase in trading volume. He noted that traditional stock markets are typically only open from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time on weekdays, offering roughly 33 trading hours per week. In contrast, tokenized stocks enable 24/7 trading, expanding available trading hours to 168 hours per week. If AI agents are later deployed to automatically execute trades on behalf of investors, trading frequency could increase even further.However, Hougan also acknowledged that increased trading hours do not necessarily translate into proportional volume growth, but AI and automated trading could become key drivers of on-chain activity expansion. Investors are currently still valuing related platforms based on the existing scale of the crypto market, overlooking the potential market expansion brought by tokenization. For instance, the decentralized exchange Uniswap could one day expand its services from crypto assets to traditional asset markets such as stocks, bonds, and real estate. (The Block)
