With Bitcoin and major altcoins trading in the red for 2025, analysts are debating whether the classic four-year cycle still applies.
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says yes — but shifted:
2026 could be the next explosive year, fueled by the debasement trade, rapid stablecoin adoption, institutional DeFi, and tokenization.
“The fundamentals are too strong to suppress,” Hougan notes, even as near-term volatility shakes investor confidence.
