Treasury companies solve Ether’s narrative problem — Bitwise exec
Equity investment vehicles present ETH in a way that is palatable to investors in the legacy financial system, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan says.
Ether treasury and holding companies have solved Ethereum’s narrative problem by packaging the digital asset in a way that traditional investors understand, drawing in more capital and accelerating adoption, according to Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise.
Hougan told Cointelegraph that Ethereum had struggled to define income-producing features for traditional financial investors until its native token, Ether (ETH), was packaged in an “equity-wrapper.” Hougan said:
“But if you take $1 billion of ETH and you put it into a company and you stake it, all of a sudden, you’re generating earnings. And investors are really used to companies that generate earnings,” he said.
