Bitwise Asset Management’s CIO, Matt Hougan, believes crypto markets are misreading President Trump’s strategic crypto reserve.
Initially, the proposal was received positively, leading to a surge in Bitcoin's price. However, the market response was short-lived as digital assets surrendered their gains.
Hougan explains that critics are skeptical of the broad selection of five cryptocurrencies named in the announcement, with some suggesting a bitcoin-centric reserve would be more appropriate.
Despite the short-term controversies, Hougan argues that the US government's acknowledgment of crypto assets being 'strategic' is bullish and could lead to global adoption.
