Bitwise CEO Reveals Why Credit and Borrowing Are Crypto’s Next ‘Big Story’
Crypto's next transformative phase may center on credit and borrowing, according to Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley. With nearly $4 trillion in crypto value and over $60 trillion in U.S. public equities, tokenization could unlock unprecedented access to liquidity. Horsley predicts this shift will accelerate within 6-12 months.
The convergence of mature crypto markets and tokenized traditional assets creates a paradigm where even small-scale investors can leverage holdings without selling. "Someone holding $7,000 worth of stock will be able to access credit against it," Horsley notes, signaling a democratization of financial tools previously reserved for institutional players.
