📢 Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan just outlined 3 major crypto trends set to define the next 5 years — all backed by a surprising source: the SEC Chair himself.

🇺🇸 “The most bullish crypto doc I’ve read was written by the SEC Chair,” Hougan said.

Here’s what he sees coming 👇

1️⃣ Layer-1 blockchains will lead as real-world assets move on-chain

🏗️ $ETH , $SOL , $AVAX , $ADA, $DOT, $XRP, $APT, $SUI, $NEAR — core infrastructure plays

🧺 Index investing > picking winners

2️⃣ Superapps like Coinbase & Robinhood will dominate

📱 Trading, payments, social, mini-apps, DeFi — all in one place

💡 One of them could become the first $1T+ financial services giant

3️⃣ DeFi 2.0 is coming

📊 Uniswap hit $88B in June

💰 Lending TVL at $56B

⚖️ New SEC guidance = DeFi platforms may finally scale 10x–100x

And with the SEC now exempting liquid staking from securities law, the regulatory tide may finally be turning.

The next crypto boom might just come with a legal green light.
