Crypto sentiment feels bearish, but Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan tells Chris Perkins the fundamentals paint a very different picture.

In this conversation, Hougan explains why Bitcoin is following gold’s playbook, where prices can lag even as demand builds, and why institutional capital is moving quietly into crypto. Drawing on insights from more than 15,000 annual meetings with institutional investors, he breaks down why adoption always feels slow before it accelerates.

He also explores why on-chain “vaults” could represent the next evolution of asset management over time, how crypto and equity frameworks like the “Magnificent 7” may expand to include digital assets, and how yield and multi-asset strategies are developing. From Bitcoin vs. gold to regulation and market structure, this interview explains why the long-term setup may be stronger than current prices suggest.
