Bitcoin's volatility has been lower than Nvidia's over the past year, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan. Speaking on CNBC, Hougan highlighted how institutional investors are reshaping Bitcoin's market dynamics. ReserveOne CIO Sebastian Bea noted that institutions act as stabilizers by automatically adjusting their holdings based on strategic allocation thresholds. With investment horizons extending up to 30 years, these investors prioritize the asset's long-term potential over short-term market fluctuations. Both Hougan and Bea emphasized Bitcoin's transformation from a regulatory gray area to a mature asset class. They pointed to the development of compliant custody solutions and the introduction of SEC-regulated ETFs as key factors in this evolution.
