Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Asset Management, has outlined a long-term case for Bitcoin reaching over $1 million. In a recent interview, he described this outcome as a conservative scenario rather than an optimistic stretch. His argument centers on Bitcoin’s evolution as a digital alternative to gold. More importantly, he links its future value to broader shifts in the global store-of-value market. Key Points Matt Hougan predicts Bitcoin could surpass $1 million if it captures a modest share of the growing $40 trillion global store-of-value market. Current Bitcoin market share is 4–5%, roughly $1.4 trillion, versus gold’s $38…

The memecoin debate is back in the spotlight after Changpeng Zhao explained why $BNB Chain didn’t join the “$PUMP” trend like Solana. Speaking in a podcast with ThreadGuy, CZ highlighted that the difference wasn’t just strategy, it was timing, regulation, and risk.

At the time, Binance was already dealing with lawsuits and pressure from the U.S. SEC. “If we had something like that, I’d be in deep trouble,” he noted, explaining why…

Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz has joined the ongoing discussions about whether banks will adopt $XRP — and, in turn, boost its price. His comments come as questions grow around $XRP’s long-term relevance in a market increasingly dominated by stablecoins. In response, Schwartz highlighted several advantages that cryptocurrencies like $XRP have over stablecoins. Key Points $XRP offers a neutral bridge across currencies, unlike stablecoins tied to single fiat systems globally. Stablecoins carry control risks like freezing and clawbacks, adding counterparty exposure in sensitive use cases. Schwartz argues crypto’s upside potential can outweigh volatility, especially in long-term or non-stability-driven scenarios. He…
