Bitwise CEO posted on the X platform that one of the world's largest wealth management companies has opened the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF BSOL to its advisors and clients.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan posted that the impact of interest rate decisions on Bitcoin over the next five years will be less than it has been over the past fifteen years. He stated that since Bitcoin's inception, interest rates have fluctuated significantly between 0% to 2.5%, 0% to 5%, and 3.5%, with changes measured in whole percentage points. However, future adjustments may be more moderate, with CME expecting interest rates to rise by only 50 basis points over the next year.Matt Hougan assesses that the Federal Reserve under Warsh may be closer to the slight adjustment style of the mid-1990s under Greenspan, rather than the patterns seen in recent years under Bernanke and Powell. If this is indeed the case, the smaller magnitude of interest rate changes will also weaken their impact on Bitcoin; while interest rates remain important, the weight of other factors will increase.

According to the Bitwise "Q3 2026 Staking Report," Q2 2026 presents a divergent pattern of "increased on-chain activity and decreased fee revenue," with the core driving factor being various protocols actively reducing block space costs.In terms of core data across chains, Ethereum's active staking volume reached a historic high of 40.2 million ETH (accounting for 33% of the total supply), while network revenue decreased by 51% year-on-year to $64 million, although it rebounded in ETH terms quarter-on-quarter; Solana's Q2 Real Economic Value (REV) dropped to $51 million, significantly down from the peak of $812 million in Q1 2025, but non-voting transaction volume reached 9.8 billion, maintaining resilience in on-chain activity; Hyperliquid's Q2 total protocol revenue was $174.8 million, with perpetual contract trading volume reaching $65.2 billion, and the proportion of non-crypto assets (commodities, stock indices, etc.) rose to 32%; Avalanche C chain's transaction volume grew approximately fourfold year-on-year to 236 million transactions, but network revenue plummeted due to a significant drop in fees, leaving only $330,000; NEAR saw a dramatic 75% drop in on-chain transaction volume to 77.7 million transactions due to the collapse of Kai-Ching application activity, but the Intents execution layer generated fees approximately 68 times that of the base chain.In terms of institutional adoption, BlackRock launched an Ethereum staking ETF (ETHB), Coinbase and Circle each staked 500,000 HYPE, and Bitwise, 21Shares, and Grayscale successively launched HYPE spot ETFs. Additionally, the stablecoin payment chain Tempo, incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, processed $386 million in transfers in its first quarter, while the global payroll platform Deel distributed approximately $30 million to 7,200 contractors through this chain.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan published an analysis, stating that the crypto market is showing signs of a bottom ------ since July 1, Bitcoin has risen by 9% while the Nasdaq has fallen by 6%, ETF fund flows have turned positive, and market sentiment has improved. Hougan believes that the next bull market will be driven by the integration of on-chain finance and traditional finance, with the core sectors being stablecoins, tokenization, 24/7 trading, instant settlement, and institutional DeFi.He suggests focusing on two types of opportunities: one type is crypto-native applications represented by Hyperliquid (HYPE) ------ which have real revenue and a strong token economic model (99% of revenue is used for buybacks and burns of HYPE), which has risen 146% this year; the other type is traditional financial institutions represented by Robinhood (HOOD) ------ whose Layer2 blockchain Robinhood Chain attracted over $300 million in deposits within two weeks of launch, processing an average of 3.6 million transactions daily, supporting 24/7 trading of tokenized stocks for users in 120 countries. Hougan is optimistic about mainstream assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, as well as crypto stocks, while also paying attention to institutions like Coinbase, Figure, BlackRock, Visa, Stripe, and JPMorgan that are scaling up in the crypto space.

Bitwise released the Q3 2026 cryptocurrency market review, stating that in the second quarter, the Bitwise 10 Large Cap Crypto Index fell by 15.4%, with 8 out of 10 constituent assets declining. The spot Bitcoin ETF recorded the worst quarterly outflow on record, while on-chain activity, trading volume, and DeFi assets all decreased, and the correlation between the cryptocurrency market and stocks increased.During the same period, the prediction market trading volume reached a new high of $43.2 billion, nearly 18 times year-on-year; the tokenized real-world assets grew by 50.3% this year to $32.89 billion; the Bitwise Crypto Innovators 30 Index rose by 30.6%; the settlement scale of stablecoins was 2.3 times that of Visa, holding more U.S. Treasury bonds than most countries; Hyperliquid, PancakeSwap, and Aave each generated approximately $900 million in revenue over the past year.Bitwise noted that it has recorded negative returns for three consecutive quarters, the longest since 2022, but compared to the bottom of the 2022 bear market, Ethereum trading activity has increased by about 13 times, the value locked in DeFi has grown by over 60%, and the assets under management in stablecoins have roughly doubled.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, Bitwise purchased 33,600 HYPE from Wintermute, worth 2.4 million dollars.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan published an analysis of the volatility of STRC under Strategy (MSTR). He believes that Strategy currently holds approximately $49.6 billion in Bitcoin and $2.6 billion in cash, with asset size far exceeding debt and preferred stock obligations, posing no liquidation risk. The company's newly launched digital credit capital framework allows it to flexibly sell Bitcoin to pay dividends based on market conditions, no longer forcing the maintenance of STRC at a par value of $100.Hougan emphasized that Strategy has been the world's largest Bitcoin buyer and a source of one-way demand over the past few years, but this situation is likely coming to an end. In the future, Strategy will flexibly buy or sell Bitcoin based on market conditions, but will not become a large-scale seller (with limited mandatory sales each year). If Bitcoin prices rebound, it may still become a net buyer. Overall, the importance of Strategy in the next cycle will be lower than in the previous cycle.He believes that the volatility of STRC reflects the process of deleveraging in the market, which is a typical characteristic at the end of a bull market. As these mismatched funds are squeezed out, the market bottom is forming, and a new bull market is expected to begin this fall.

Bitwise Research Director André Dragosch posted on the X platform that July could be a key month for Bitcoin to switch from a bear market to a bull market. He pointed out that if semiconductor stocks significantly reverse from their current position, the Federal Reserve may respond with a dovish stance. Bitcoin is likely to complete its reversal ahead of the market's general expectation of a bottom in October.

The well-known MEV Bot address ae13 issued a white hat bounty notice on-chain to hackers, stating, "If 2,150 Ethereum is returned to this address within 48 hours, we are willing to pay 50% of the white hat bounty; otherwise, we will take all feasible legal and enforcement actions to hold accountable."According to previous reports, the well-known MEV robot Jaredfromsubway.eth (ae13), which has been active on the Ethereum network for a long time, was attacked by hackers exploiting vulnerabilities in the automated execution system, resulting in losses exceeding $75 million.

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley posted on the X platform, "In the 1990s, the internet was just emerging. Almost every idea seemed feasible. Hundreds of companies reached valuations of 500 million to 1 billion dollars based on these possibilities. By the early 21st century, that optimism faded. There were no longer hundreds of companies competing. Instead, a few companies that truly proved their worth thrived. Because they succeeded with demonstrable value, they operated longer and were larger in scale than in the previous cycle. The cryptocurrency sector is also undergoing a similar transformation. The number of winners will decrease, but the winners will stand out due to their demonstrable value. Their scale will be larger, and their operating time will be longer than people expect."

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated that participants in the cryptocurrency industry should "broaden their perspective." Unless they are short-term traders, investors should not overly focus on weekly or monthly price fluctuations.Instead, the focus should be on two aspects: first, the substantive progress of the project itself, and second, the longer-term annual performance. This includes on-chain usage, technological advancements with product-market fit, integration of large enterprises and institutions in the field, construction and implementation status, as well as core factors such as team quality and execution capability.Although the market will not show linear development, the fundamentals of the industry are continuously and significantly improving from 2022 to 2026. Investors should recognize that this is a long-term process, and the final outcome will be determined by the fundamentals.
