He attributes his confidence to former President Donald Trump’s election victory, and he thinks this may result in a friendlier regulatory climate for digital assets.
Growing Optimism for Crypto-Friendly Regulations
Hougan pointed to a big rally in the market after Trump won, which he said could be an indication that Washington was changing its tune on cryptocurrency. According to him, a pro crypto position in White House, Congress and the House of Representatives will help digital assets thrive.
The SEC and other related legal challenges have put pressure on the cryptocurrency industry for nearly a decade. Hougan, however, expects that a lighter regulatory approach is on the way during Trump’s first 100 days in office.
Bitwise CIO believes that Trump’s past support for digital innovation will help pave the way for crypto regulation which will benefit growth and adoption.
Recent Gains Signal Strength in Crypto Market
The market has seen recent gains across several cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC) reaching an all-time high. Other assets, like Solana (SOL), also posted strong performances, fueling positive sentiment among investors. Hougan credited these gains to both the political shift and recent technical indicators, pointing to steady market momentum.
Hougan noted that over $23 billion flowed into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) this year, which he sees as a major signal of growing institutional interest. He expects further acceleration in institutional investments throughout 2025, driven by clearer regulatory guidance.
Bitcoin Halving and Rising Debt
Hougan also pointed to the recent Bitcoin Halving event, a historical price catalyst that often boosts the crypto market. Additionally, he mentioned the U.S. national debt, currently at $36 trillion, as a factor that may drive interest in decentralized assets like Bitcoin. Hougan believes these economic and market factors will sustain the bullish momentum for years to come.
