In the coming decade, the leading cryptocurrency is expected to maintain high returns, though significant annual fluctuations are unlikely, according to Bitwise’s Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan in an interview with CNBC<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n

“We are in a period of sustainable growth and stable profits. These won’t be impressive figures, but the market is assured of returns with less volatility and some ups and downs,” he added. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hougan remains committed to his forecast<\/a> of a positive 2026 for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

His interview colleague, ReserveOne CIO Sebastian Bo, noted that it remains unclear whether the four-year cycles of digital gold, dependent on halving<\/a>, have ended.<\/p>\n

\n

“The all-time high was $125,000 in early October, and today we are approaching $87,000\u2014a relatively quick and rather painful 30% drop,” Bo pointed out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hougan believes one reason for Bitcoin’s year-end correction is the “rapidly changing retail market situation,” as investors began withdrawing funds “in anticipation of the four-year cycle pattern.” He emphasized that the current decline has reached only 30%, whereas previous rally conclusions saw a 60% drop.<\/p>\n

Institutional support is the mainstay for the leading cryptocurrency, according to Bitwise’s CIO. Meanwhile, the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump “can do little to help” the industry.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, digital gold is trading at $87,700, with little change in price over the day. <\/p>\n
