TREE NEWS reports: Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan argues that holding zero crypto is an active bearish position, given the neutral weight is about 2% of global stocks. He notes Wall Street is all-in despite crypto’s 50% decline, citing BlackRock’s tokenized funds and Morgan Stanley’s Solana ETF approval. Hougan recommends a 5% allocation as a ‘free lunch’ and sees BTC’s resilience to bad news as a bullish sign.
Bitwise CIO: 0% Crypto Allocation Is a Bearish Bet
The framing here matters more than the allocation call: Hougan is repositioning zero exposure from a default stance to an active bet, which shifts the burden of proof onto non-holders. The cited institutional moves — tokenized funds and a Solana ETF approval — suggest the infrastructure buildout is proceeding independently of price action, a divergence worth tracking. Whether that institutional persistence continues through further drawdowns is the open question; resilience to bad news is a claim that only gets tested by more bad news.
