TradFi advisers want stablecoins, tokenization over Bitcoin: Bitwise
Bitwise’s Matt Hougan says it was “pretty hard to engage with advisers on Bitcoin” during recent discussions, who are more interested in stablecoins and tokenization.
Advisers to some of the largest financial institutions are taking more of an interest in stablecoins and tokenization than in Bitcoin, which could help pull crypto out of its current slump, said Bitwise investment chief Matt Hougan.
Hougan said in a note on Wednesday that he recently spoke with more than 40 advisers who were “still interested in crypto” but are “more interested today in stablecoins and tokenization than they are in Bitcoin.”
“It was pretty hard to engage with advisors on Bitcoin this week,” he said. “In call after call, they expressed much more curiosity over the real-world applications of crypto that are quickly reshaping everything from capital markets to global payments.”
