Summary

Ran sits down with Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan to unpack why he believes crypto is entering a completely new phase. They discuss the signs that the market bottom may already be in, why institutions continue accumulating while retail investors are selling, and how tokenisation, stablecoins, and on-chain finance could drive the next major bull market. Matt also explains why Wall Street is embracing crypto, the biggest opportunities across the application layer, and what the Clarity Act could mean for the future of the industry. ___________________________________________ ๐—™๐—˜๐—”๐—ง๐—จ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—— ๐—ข๐—ก ๐—ง๐—›๐—œ๐—ฆ ๐—ฆ๐—›๐—ข๐—ช โฌ‡โฌ‡โฌ‡โฌ‡โฌ‡โฌ‡ ๐ŸŸฉ ๐—ข๐—ž๐—ซ - ๐——๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—š๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐Ÿด% ๐—•๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜‚๐˜€ + ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐˜€!! ๐Ÿ‘‰ Sign up: https://bit.ly/OKX-Bonus-Ran โ˜‘๏ธ Get 8% Back on all Deposits!
