“They’ve heard the promises of institutional adoption for so long that they no longer register,” said Bitwise’s Matt Hougan.
Traditional investors don’t yet realize the impact crypto may have on financial markets, meaning there could be an opportunity to invest in what the technology could eventually become, says Bitwise investment chief Matt Hougan.
“Everywhere I look, Wall Street is screaming that finance is moving on-chain. Not a little of it; all of it,” Hougan said in a note on Tuesday. “Yet traditional investors can’t hear it.”
He argued investors are suffering from “anchoring bias” and are still fixated on how crypto was perceived in its early days — when it was still an unknown technology mostly used by cypherpunks and dark web black markets.
