Hunter Horsley, CEO and co-founder of Bitwise Asset Management, has stated that he believes the regulatory environment for crypto has "completely changed" and that this is enabling institutional adoption. In a July 2026 interview, he said that "in the next 12 months, every Wall Street institution will be doing something with crypto." He described this as "the most bullish moment" in Bitwise's history, citing an anecdote about one large bank giving its team 100 days to develop a crypto roadmap and another telling its team to "go from zero to 500 miles an hour on crypto." Horsley compared the current shift to the internet's impact on retail and media, arguing that public blockchains have created the infrastructure for a similar transformation in financial services. Horsley has also discussed the creation of a new wealthy class through crypto, which he said has "different values or different backgrounds or different communities" and is "voting with their money differently." He pointed to the crypto industry's political spending in the 2024 U.S. elections as an example of this group organizing. In a June 2025 interview, he argued that Bitcoin, with a market capitalization of about $2 trillion, is competing for a share of the roughly $400 trillion in global assets, and that "every structural tailwind is aligned" to crypto's benefit, including declining trust in institutions and increasing global money supply.
