Bitwise, the Chief Investment Officer, stated that if more traditional investors allocate part of their portfolios to Bitcoin and gold, the price of Bitcoin could rise to hundreds of thousands of dollars. He pointed out that increasing government debt and concerns about the purchasing power of fiat currencies could lead to an increased demand for these assets.
Hougan also stated in an interview that stablecoins and tokenization will be two important development directions for the crypto market in the next decade.
Bitcoin may benefit from institutional investment.
Hougan says that investors holding traditional portfolios of stocks and bonds still face fiat currency risks. He believes that allocating a portion of their funds to Bitcoin and gold can help reduce this risk.
"If this mindset becomes mainstream, you will see a large amount of capital flowing into Bitcoin," said Hougan, adding that the price of Bitcoin could reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.
He described Bitcoin as the best risk-adjusted investment in the field of cryptography, arguing that as government debt and spending rise, Bitcoin has the potential to serve as a means of value storage.
Hougan calls on Chainlink and Hyperliquid
Hougan indicates that Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Chainlink remain key assets for investors interested in the themes of currency devaluation and tokenization. He also believes that Hyperliquid may join this list as well.
He mentioned that Zcash has attracted attention due to its privacy features, while Venice has gained attention because of its AI application, and pointed out that both projects are competing to secure a place among the leading cryptocurrencies.
When talking about Chainlink, Hougan said that the business behind this protocol is still strong, and improvements in token economics could be beneficial to holders. He believes that token buybacks, income distribution, a lower inflation rate, and a clearer token unlocking schedule are all important changes.
He expects that the crypto community will push for better mechanisms to be adopted by the project, sharing the value generated by the protocol with token holders.
Stablecoins and tokenization may drive the adoption of crypto
Hougan believes that stablecoins and tokenization will be important developments that will shape the crypto industry over the next decade. He also mentioned that institutional adoption, regulatory changes, and a resurgence in decentralized financial activities will also have an impact.
"Two major super-trends are currency devaluation, as well as the rise of stablecoins and tokenization," said Hougan.
He stated that these developments should be viewed over a multi-year period, rather than just focusing on short-term price fluctuations. The core of his view is that Bitcoin may continue to play the role of a value store, while financial services based on blockchain will grow with the expansion of stablecoins and tokenized assets.
