Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says a wave of institutional interest in altcoins is coming next year, largely due to potential regulatory clarity and more exchange-traded funds (ETFs). In a new interview with Bloomberg, Hougan says that institutional money is in the early stages of broadening out to other crypto assets besides just Bitcoin ( BTC ). Hougan forecasts that 2025 will be the year that institutional investors will begin to incorporate more diversification in their crypto-investing strategies the same way they do in other asset classes like equities or bonds. “You’re already seeing it broaden out actually. A lot of people were worried about the Ethereum ETFs for instance, which launched this summer and had tepid inflows. But over the last month or so, you’ve seen billions of dollars flow into those products. Again, the things that have happened in crypto in the past keep happening. Historically, most people enter crypto through Bitcoin, and then they discover Ethereum, and then they think about Solana. There’s no reason to assume that the institutions that came into Bitcoin won’t move on to other assets in the future. In fact, I think in 2025, you’re going to see an explosion of interest in index space strategies that give diversified exposure to crypto. Of course, [that is] something we’ve been doing at Bitwise since 2017 when we pioneered that concept. I think 2025 is when that becomes a mainstream way to allocate to this space, the same way it is to stocks and bonds and real estate and everything else.” Don`t Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox Check Price Action Follow us on X , Facebook and Telegram Surf The Daily Hodl Mix Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.

Here’s How Cardano’s 17% Weekly Correction Can Help ADA Hit $6 This Cycle: Analyst
TL:DR; Cardano’s native cryptocurrency, alongside the rest of the market, has slumped hard on a weekly basis, dropping to well below $1. However, history shows that similar corrections have been followed by massive gains for the asset, with predictions of up to $6. ADAUSD. Source: TradingView ADA’s recent price performance could be analyzed from two main perspectives – short-term and long-term. When looking at the past ten days or so, the landscape is quite gloomy. Within this timeframe, the asset went from $1.2 to under $0.8. Although it has recovered some ground to $0.9 now, it is still 25% down since December 12. The broader landscape, though, shows a different picture. ADA’s price stood in a tight range between $0.3 and $0.4 for weeks ahead of the US presidential elections and the subsequent promising words by IOG’s founder, Charles Hoskinson. It exploded to a new multi-year peak of over $1.3 later on, and even now, with its correction to $0.9, it is still 160% up in less than two months. The first scenario is more painful for now, but when analyzing larger cycles, such as the current bull one, the second plays a more important role. Consequently, crypto analyst Ali Martinez focused on the long-term perspective to determine that ADA’s most recent correction could actually be a blessing in disguise. He noted that the token has followed an ‘eerily similar pattern’ to the previous cycle in 2020. Back then, the asset’s first major retracement after a substantial rally “happened at the very same time as the correction we are experiencing today.” As such, he believes ADA could shoot past its 2021 ATH of $3.09 (according to CoinGecko) and hit a new peak of $6. #Cardano $ADA is following an eerily similar pattern to its previous cycle. Back in 2020, the first major correction after the bull rally began happened at the very same time as the correction we are experiencing today. $6 next! pic.twitter.com/CPrYdQQqyx — Ali (@ali_charts) December 22, 2024 It’s worth noting that such a price tag would put ADA’s market capitalization at well above $200 billion, which would make the asset the third-largest, at least according to how the market looks today.
