Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley just killed the four-year crypto cycle like it was a bad improv scene-replaced by Bitcoin ETFs and regulators who finally Googled “What is blockchain?”
The crypto market’s long-term outlook? Stronger than my coffee after a 3 AM rewrite. Despite October and November’s “plot twist” (prices tanked, investors cried into their avocado toast), Horsley-CEO of Bitwise, aka the grown-ups in the room-remains weirdly optimistic. 🚀
New Market Structure: Like Crypto, But With Fewer Meme Coins
Horsley declared the four-year cycle deader than disco, replaced by a “mature” market (read: fewer Lambo dreams, more spreadsheets). Why? Because US regulators finally stopped yelling “SECURITY!” at every JPEG and let Bitcoin ETFs happen. He spilled this hot take in an X post-because nothing says “market analysis” like a tweet sandwiched between cat videos.
“Since Bitcoin ETFs and a new administration, we’ve got new players, new dynamics, and new reasons people buy and sell,” Horsley wrote. Translation: The institutions showed up, and now we have to wear pants.

“We talk about 4-year cycles-but that’s based on a bygone era of crypto,” he added, presumably while lighting a candle for the lost souls who bought Dogecoin in 2021. “I think we’ve been in a bear market for six months and are almost through it.” Bitcoin’s price? A cool $94K, or as Horsley calls it, “proof my LinkedIn posts were right.”
Meanwhile, Robert Kiyosaki-financial educator and guy who really wants you to buy gold-blamed the downturn on “low liquidity.” Translation: The government hasn’t printed enough Monopoly money yet. Once they do, he says crypto and metals will moon. Bold take, Bob. 🏦
Institutions Arrive, Retail Investors Cry Into Their Robinhood Apps
The new market’s VIPs? Institutions-bringing “patterns” and “capital flows” instead of just tweeting “TO THE MOON!” at 2 AM. Regulatory clarity helps too, now that lawmakers finally understand crypto isn’t just “that thing Elon tweets about.”
Horsley says regulators went from “headwind” (read: hostile) to “tailwind” (read: confused but trying). The White House and Congress are now “constructive,” which in politics means “they haven’t banned it yet.” Investors can now interact freely-or as freely as one can when every other tweet is an SEC subpoena.
Bottom line? The market’s growing up. Less volatility, fewer “rug pulls,” and more investors who actually read the whitepaper. It’s like crypto finally got its GED. 🎓
