According to PANews, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan has highlighted a significant shift in the financial advisory sector concerning crypto investments. After attending a major consulting firm's conference, Hougan expressed his expectation that most large companies will have access to cryptocurrency Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) by the end of 2025. He noted a growing interest in crypto investments, predicting that new inflows into cryptocurrency ETPs could reach billions of dollars.
Hougan also mentioned changes in portfolio allocation norms, suggesting that a 5% allocation to cryptocurrencies might become standard. He explained that institutional investors are increasingly incorporating higher weights of cryptocurrencies into traditional portfolios. Additionally, Hougan observed a rise in inquiries about Ethereum, stating that he has addressed more questions about the asset in recent days than in the past six months.
While Bitcoin continues to dominate in terms of scale, Ethereum has emerged as a key area of interest among professionals, according to Hougan.
