The fund administrator says that Bitcoin will crush the gold, will reach $ 1 million by 2029

Matt Hougan, Investment Director (CIO) of Bitwise Asset Management, delivered a long -term surprising forecast for bitcoin in the last episode of the co -institutional podcast. Speaking to the presenter Nathalie Brunell, Hougan described why she believes that btc will not only interrupt the gold but also rise up to $ 1 million per currency by 2029. He attributed this upward prediction to the rapid institutional adoption, emerging regulatory clarity and the persistent long -term demand exceed the new offer.

Why bitcoin could reach $ 1 million by 2029

During the interviewHougan pointed out the dramatic impact of the funds quoted on Bitcoins exchange (ETF) as a main factor behind institutional entries. He described the increase in the new capital after the ETFs launched in January 2024 so large of what most analysts expected. “Before the bitcoin ETFs, the most successful ETF of all time gathered $ 5 billion in its first year,” he said. “These ETF (bitcoin) made thirty -seven billion.”

He added that this amazing pace of tickets could continue, largely because “less than half of all financial advisors in the United States can even have a proactive conversation” about bitcoin investment today. Once the restrictions are lifted and more advisors are allowed to recommend bitcoin to their customers, expect an even greater influx of assets.

When asked about competition between ETF's main suppliers, Hougan emphasized that Blackrock's entry into space finally benefits the entire industry by increasing general participation. He highlighted how his firm, Bitwise, focuses on satisfying the needs of institutional investors and cryptography specialists who want a “native cryptography” manager.

Although Bitwise's Spot bitcoin ETF launched together with several other prominent players, Hougan said he sees the fierce competition as constructive for investors, because he has taken the rates to the “rock background.” He pointed out that the management rates of his company are lower than those of many traditional ETFs of basic products and concluded: “It is incredible treatment for the investor.”

In addition to these large -scale changes in institutional finances, Hougan also caught attention to the rapid expansion of the stable. He called them a “murderous application”, citing the world appetite for cheaper and faster transactions rails and explaining that the stable, which settle in blockchains, can improve cross -border money flows.

He anticipates a stablecoin market measured in the billion in the coming years, especially if regulatory support frameworks arise. Although he acknowledged that the United States can promulgate legislation that shapes whether Stablecoin's emitters have bonds or outdated bonds, expressed the hope that the market would remain free enough to encourage continuous competition and innovation.

The conversation also touched the growing corporate interest, which Hougan said he faces obstacles such as “strange accounting rules”, but, nevertheless, he has proven to be robust. He pointed out how corporations “bought hundreds of thousands of bitcoin last year” and believes that these first removals mean a larger wave for once the accounting and due diligence considerations are resolved.

The private surveys of his firm, he said, reveal a surprising gap between the personal enthusiasm of the advisors by bitcoin, where “more than 50%” they already keep it themselves, and the approximately 15-20% that can formally assign it in the name of the client's portfolios. That number, predicts, will continue to increase as the internal committees grant to the advisors of the green light already measure that more institutions realize that “if it has a zero percent allocation to cryptography, it is effectively short.”

Regulatory changes and Washington factor

Throughout the interview, Hougan repeatedly stressed that the market can be “under the change of change in Washington.” He recalled how, until very recently, banks were not willing to take deposits from cryptographic companies and how multiple citations, demands and the risk of “being undone” had a chilling effect on industry's growth.

Hougan believes that “unless you work in cryptography in the last four years, you cannot imagine how challenging it was”, and that the softer position of the government now eliminates a huge obstacle to capital entries. He also sees the bipartisan support for Stablecoin legislation as a powerful sign of regulatory clarity on the horizon.

Beyond the regulation, Hougan suggested that bitcoin is ready to bloom in a macroeconomic climate plagued by uncertainty. He referred to fugitive inflation or a sudden deflation fall as scenarios that people fear, stating that “if you look at the market, it is more volatile, open or uncertain than it has been in the past.”

From its perspective, even a small assignment to bitcoin provides non -sovereign coverage against potential monetary or fiscal turbulence. He said that many of Bitwise's great customers are looking for methods to generate performance in their bitcoin, either through institutional derivatives or loans, so that they can maintain the exposure without selling the asset itself. He believes that such interest reflects the strong levels of conviction that tend to characterize the cryptographic community.

Hougan's conclusion returned to the power of the limited supply of bitcoin and the deepening of the institutional demand. He said that bitcoin's finite issuance schedule, along with the new buyers that exceed the amount of new bitcoin Minado, will probably continue to raise the price over time. “I think bitcoin is on his way to interrupting gold,” he said. “We believe it will cross a million dollars by 2029”. Although he emphasized that daily prices changes can be dramatic, he is convinced that long -term foundations remain impregnable.

At the time of publication, btc quoted at $ 84,138.
