TechFlow News, January 8th – According to a report by Financefeeds, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan recently announced that Bitcoin's traditional four-year "boom and bust" cycle has officially come to an end. With financial giants such as Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, and Wells Fargo actively facilitating client allocations through spot ETFs, Bitcoin has officially entered the "era of institutional adoption."
Data shows that in 2025, Bitcoin's volatility was even lower than that of Nvidia stock, thanks to "sticky" funds like pensions and 401(k) accounts continuously absorbing market supply. Hougan predicts that in 2026, Bitcoin will exhibit reduced correlation with traditional stock markets and benefit from declining interest rates, increased regulatory clarity, and quantitative easing policies.
While the era of thousand-fold annual returns may be a thing of the past, this institutional-level growth offers investors a more sustainable path for long-term value preservation.
