Bitcoin is gaining considerable momentum, with the big boss of Bitwise Asset Management having strong faith in the cryptocurrency’s prospects.
The time has come for Bitcoin, says Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley, citing the convergence of several forces behind its rising popularity and worth. This is while digital assets still hold the interest of both institutional investors and the public.
Big Institutions Onboard
One of the most significant changes in the financial sector is the increasing interest from large institutions. Horsley pointed out how companies such as BlackRock, which had earlier been critical of Bitcoin, are now significant holders.

This reversal on the part of institutional players in the financial space reflects broader recognition of Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class. The fact that these institutional players are now investing large amounts of money reflects long-term belief in the potential of Bitcoin.
Easier Ways To Invest
The introduction of Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds, or ETFs, in the United States has made it simpler for large institutions and regular investors to get into Bitcoin. These ETFs allow people to invest in Bitcoin without the inconvenience of buying and owning the cryptocurrency.
This accessibility has paved the way for additional capital to enter the Bitcoin market, which could stabilize prices and bring in a broader spectrum of investors.
States Consider Bitcoin Reserves
Surprisingly, some US state governments are considering the possibility of maintaining Bitcoin as part of their reserve funds.
According to Horsley, a number of states are looking at bills that would enable them to buy and hold Bitcoin. If the trend gains popularity, it can result in serious Bitcoin purchases from these states, further influencing demand and possibly price.
Global Use Increases
Outside of the US, there is also evidence of growing international demand for Bitcoin. Horsley noted that other nations are even employing the crypto in foreign trade.
The Bitwise CEO points out that there has been a dramatic shift in the way individuals perceive Bitcoin. It’s no longer viewed by many as merely a speculative, fringe investment. Rather, it’s more a legitimate investment and a potential hedge against conventional financial systems.
This change of sentiment, combined with growing institutional adoption, more accessible investment channels, state-level interest possibilities, and expanding international usage, is a reflection of a mature asset of great potential, said the Bitwise big boss. Nevertheless, as with any investment, don’t forget that the crypto market is volatile.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
