Bitcoin's Evolution Towards Mainstream Asset Status

According to BlockBeats, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan has stated that the era of allocating only 1% of assets to Bitcoin is over. Hougan compared Bitcoin's current stability and maturity to that of companies post-IPO, which are significantly less risky than startups. Today, Bitcoin is much more stable and widely owned than it was a decade ago. With institutional adoption and ETF trading, Bitcoin's volatility has significantly decreased, marking its transformation into a mainstream asset. Hougan suggested that Bitcoin's journey from a market capitalization of $2.5 trillion towards gold's $25 trillion market cap might occur faster than many anticipate.
