As volatility continues in the cryptocurrency markets, Matt Hougan, investment director at Bitwise Asset Management, outlined the key dynamics that could pave the way for Bitcoin and altcoins to exit the bear market.

According to Hougan, although it is still in an early stage, some structural developments that could signal a bottom formation in the market are beginning to emerge.

Hougan stated, “It’s still early, but if you look closely, you might start to see developments that could pull us out of the bear market.”

According to Hougan, the first prominent topic in the crypto ecosystem is “agent finance,” or autonomous/agent-based financial applications. The steps taken by large companies like Coinbase are particularly noteworthy in this area. Systems where AI-powered financial agents can perform transactions on behalf of users could open a new era in terms of both efficiency and scalability.

The adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) by institutional parties is another element highlighted by Hougan. BlackRock, one of the world’s largest asset managers, and its collaboration with the DeFi platform Uniswap is considered a significant indicator of bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain-based finance.

The growth of institutional DeFi can restore confidence in the markets by increasing capital inflows.

Hougan also noted that technical advancements made in addressing potential security risks posed by quantum computers in the future are potentially significant. Developments in quantum-resistant cryptography stand out as a confidence-building factor for long-term investors.

The process of tokenizing real-world assets (RWA) on the blockchain is also gaining momentum. Bringing many assets, from bonds to real estate, onto the blockchain increases both liquidity and transparency. This trend is seen as a structural transformation supporting the evolution of crypto from a speculative asset class to an infrastructure technology.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
