Matt Hougan: The Cryptocurrency Market Gathers Momentum for a Break from the Bear Trend, 2026/02/13 15:53:54
The Chief Investment Officer of the American asset management firm Bitwise, Matt Hougan, stated that the cryptocurrency market is gradually laying the groundwork for a departure from the bearish trend.
According to Hougan, the advancement of real-world asset tokenization (RWA) and the influx of institutional investors into decentralized finance (DeFi) could serve as key drivers for the recovery of the crypto market.
“It is premature to discuss a full reversal — the market may test lower levels. However, growth points are slowly taking shape. A sustainable rebound requires the accumulation of positive signals, and this process has already begun,” the Bitwise executive clarified.

Hougan noted a shift in the demand model for cryptocurrencies: while previous cycles were primarily driven by retail investors, the focus is now shifting towards fund managers and large corporations.
According to the Bitwise executive, the cryptocurrency market is increasingly correlating with economic factors and liquidity dynamics in traditional financial markets. This enhances the sensitivity of digital assets to central bank decisions, while also making the industry’s behavior more predictable in terms of cycles.
Previously, experts from the financial conglomerate JPMorgan indicated that improvements in the regulation of digital assets in the U.S. could become a major growth factor for the cryptocurrency market by the end of the year.
