Stablecoins as portfolio cash and counter‑cyclical assets

In this in-depth interview, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan breaks down why Bitcoin’s price has stalled near $100,000, the hidden sell wall created by early holders, and why he believes the real bull market is just getting started. We explore the ETF explosion reshaping crypto investing, how Solana’s staking ETF shocked Wall Street, and why The Clarity Act could ignite the next leg of the rally. Matt also reveals how tokenization, stablecoins, and self-regulation are driving institutional adoption and why Coinbase’s new ICO model might mark the true return of alt season.
