CFB Talks Digital Assets Episode 49: Bitwise's Rasmussen on the new SEC cliffhanger, Ethereum's renaissance, and BTC eyeing $1.3M by 2035

From a standing start less than a decade ago, Bitwise Asset Management, one of just a handful of US-based, digital asset-focused investment firms, recently reached the milestone of $15 billion in AuM.

It's a testament to their unique franchise as an established multinational institution, combined with an unmatched track record of crypto investment expertise, and capped with a roster of in-demand voices, who are recognized as authorities in the space.

With institutional adoption again on the brink of a major inflection point, we're delighted to welcome one of those expert voices – Head of Research, Ryan Rasmussen – as our guest on the CFB Talks Digital Assets podcast!

Just a small sample of the multiple thought-provoking highlights from our conversation:

• How SEC approval of in-kind creation and redemption for crypto ETFs finally levels the playing field, enabling operational, tax, and trading efficiencies to flow to investors, APs and issuers; providing another tailwind for adoption
• Why other hotly anticipated regulatory decisions - e.g., multi-asset ETFs, and generic listing standards - seem to be taking so long
• How advisors can move the narrative for individual investors and allocators beyond Bitcoin and Ether, to an understanding of why index/basket strategies are increasingly critical as crypto beta evolves
• Showcasing Bitwise's groundbreaking 'Bitcoin Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions' report, as BTC graduates to an "institutional epoch", and potentially targets $1.3 million by 2035
• Why Ethereum's 'renaissance' - huge price gains, record flows, and increasing network usage - are no surprise from the perspective that it's crypto's "operating system"; as use cases like stablecoins, DeFi, and tokenization, intensify

Whether you're a newcomer or an OG, institutional allocator or individual account, this is yet another episode for anyone interested in digital assets and seeking expert crypto investment insights from the cutting edge.
