Bitwise's Soothsaying
Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan's crystal ball reveals some intriguing insights. He predicts that the "Big Four" U.S. wirehouses—Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and UBS—will start offering Bitcoin ETF services to their clients by the end of the year[1][2]. With over $10 trillion in assets under management, their entrance into the crypto realm could trigger a wave of institutional market participation, shattering previous records.
Keep your eyes on the prize. Bitcoin ETF offerings could surpass the 2024 record of $35 billion in capital inflows and touch the $50 billion mark in 2025[1][3].
Beware the Kraken, HODLers! Bitcoin's price currently stands at $93,869, making a minor retreat of 1.1% in the last 24 hours[3].
