Bitwise CIO: Bitcoin will rise steadily over the next decade, but it’s unlikely to replicate its astonishing gains

BlockBeats news, December 28, according to Cointelegraph, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that Bitcoin may deliver relatively robust returns over the next decade, but it is unlikely to see exceptionally high gains.

Hougan said on CNBC: “I believe we are in a 10-year phase of steady upward movement, with strong returns, but not the kind of extremely high returns, rather stronger, lower-volatility returns, with ups and downs in between.”

He also maintained his previous judgment that 2026 will be an upward year for Bitcoin. This prediction was first made by him in July of this year, when Bitcoin reached a historical high of $125,100 in October. Hougan stated that the “fast-moving retail group” is one of the reasons for Bitcoin’s decline at the end of the year, with some retail investors choosing to rotate early and take profits to exit based on “expectations of the four-year cycle.”
