Bitwise Asset Management asserts that now is the opportune time to invest in Bitcoin, citing a favorable risk-adjusted basis.
Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan reflects on Bitcoin's evolution, emphasizing the diminished risks associated with the cryptocurrency.
Hougan highlights Bitcoin's journey in overcoming existential threats and mentions the improved trading venues and custodial solutions that have bolstered the market.
The introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US in 2024 further contributed to Bitcoin's mainstream acceptance and reduced regulatory concerns.
Hougan addresses the historical concern of government intervention by citing the US government's gold confiscation order in 1933 and discusses the potential impact on Bitcoin.
President Trump's executive order establishing a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is seen as mitigating the risk of a potential government ban on Bitcoin, signaling strategic alignment instead.
Bitwise observes a shift in institutional allocations towards Bitcoin, with some investors now considering higher allocations due to increased legitimacy and regulated investment avenues.
