2024-04-25 08:30:30 Bitwise CIO predicts Bitcoin volatility will fall 50% as institutional adoption rises

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan provided a comprehensive outlook on Bitcoin’s trajectory towards the 2028 halving, predicting a 50% decrease in volatility and heightened institutional investor engagement. Bitcoin (BTC) hit a new all-time high weeks before the 2024 halving in an unprecedented surge. Hougan believes this trend will continue post-halving and cause Bitcoin’s price to escalate dramatically, as it has in the past since its $13 valuation at the time of its first halving in 2012.
