Takeaway from a recent Bitwise roadshow: Clients are no longer asking what crypto is. Instead, we're diving into layer 2s and scaling, liquid staking, tokenization, stablecoins, and 401K product ideas.
I firmly believe:

- Most investors will allocate to crypto equities through index funds
- We’ll see many more crypto IPOs in the next 2 years (Figure, Gemini, Kraken, etc.)

Today’s Fed meeting was the first time in 30+ years that two governors voted against the committee.

— Grew revenue +64% vs. prior year (beat estimates)

If you don’t own crypto, you are effectively short crypto.
If you are short crypto, you are betting that: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Stablecoins, Tokenization, DeFi, DePIN, Coinbase, and more are going to zero.
