BroadChain News, April 24, 14:16 - Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan and Head of Research Ryan Rasmussen recently stated that despite a broad decline in crypto market data in the first quarter, positive news flow has been constant, and the market has shown signs of a rebound. They believe that if Bitcoin can maintain around $75,000, the second half of the year will be exciting.
Hougan pointed out that Bitcoin is not only digital gold but also comes with a call option to become an international settlement tool. Geopolitical conflicts have increased the value of this option, with the probability rising from 2% to 15%-20%. He predicts that by 2035, the target price of $1.3 million for Bitcoin may be too conservative. Rasmussen emphasized that RWA tokenized assets have surged from less than $2 billion in 2024 to nearly $30 billion, a growth of more than 10 times.
Meanwhile, the combination of AI and the SEC's new token framework will give rise to an altcoin season in 2026. The convergence of compliance, high-performance chains, and AI is expected to spark a new wave of innovation.
