Bitwise Senior Investment Strategist Juan Leon stated in a letter shared with investors that ETH is expected to recover in 2025, capitalizing on the $100 trillion opportunity brought by RWA tokenization. He emphasized that this year, the cryptocurrency market has two characteristics: BTC hitting an all-time high and the meme coin craze driving SOL up. Therefore, compared to BTC's 130% increase and SOL's 106% rise, ETH's 66% return so far this year seems modest.
However, recent signs indicate that market sentiment is reversing. In the past 10 days, the Ethereum ETF attracted $2 billion in net inflows, which is 8 times the $250 million net inflow of the previous four months. Additionally, in the last 10 trading days, only 3 days had Ethereum ETF daily inflows below three digits. This surge indicates that both institutional and retail investors are regaining interest in Ethereum.

The Bank of America December Global Fund Manager Survey found that investor sentiment in December is 'super optimistic'.

The report notes that the global risk appetite is at a three-year high, driven by optimistic economic growth sentiment related to Trump's second term and the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts.

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated on X platform that less than 200 years ago, the United States passed a law allowing the widespread creation of non-human autonomous entities, which are corporations. The invention and evolution of corporations may be the best analogy for understanding the future development of autonomous AI agents. Most of today's infrastructures are not designed to serve humans but rather to serve businesses. They transact through fiat currency, borrow through the bond market, determine ownership through the stock market, and reach agreements through courts and contracts.
For AI agents, a completely new system is needed, one that will be encrypted, will use stablecoins and Bitcoin for transactions, will engage in DeFi lending, and will utilize smart contracts without the need for courts. They will have tokenized ownership and governance. While it may still be too early for such discussions, cryptocurrency is not merely a digital version of gold and stock investments but rather aims to create an entirely new independent financial and property system for people and entities in the digital world.
