The recent crypto market crash<\/a> will not affect the long-term bullish trend, according to Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, in his analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He stated that the decline was triggered by cascading liquidations rather than fundamental issues.<\/p>\n

The sharp movement began following Donald Trump’s announcement of a potential 100% tariff on Chinese goods. Traders reacted by selling off in the crypto market as stock exchanges were closed.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin’s price fell by 15%, and some altcoins, like Solana<\/a>, temporarily dropped by about 40%. The decline led to automatic liquidations of leveraged trader positions, further driving down prices. The total liquidation amount approached $20 billion. However, the market quickly rebounded.<\/p>\n

Hougan believes the event had no serious consequences. He identified three key factors for assessing the situation:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Collapse of major players.<\/strong> According to Bitwise, the main losses were borne by retail investors. Large funds and market makers<\/a> were unaffected.<\/li>\n
  2. Technology performance.<\/strong> Blockchains withstood the stress test. DeFi platforms like Uniswap<\/a> and Aave<\/a> operated without issues; some centralized exchanges experienced problems.<\/li>\n
  3. Investor reaction.<\/strong> Hougan noted the absence of panic among professional investors. He emphasized that he did not receive a large number of messages from clients, unlike journalists.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    According to Hougan, fundamental growth drivers\u2014regulation, institutional capital inflow, and technology adoption\u2014remain intact. He expects the bullish market to continue after a brief period of volatility.<\/p>\n

    Earlier, trader Peter Brandt stated that Bitcoin’s price will exceed $125,000<\/a> after another decline.<\/p>\n

    Head of Research at K33, Vetle Lunde, views<\/a> the drop in digital gold’s price as a good market entry opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
