Bitwise Chief Investment Officer: Still Expects Bitcoin Spot ETF to Attract Record Inflows in Q4

BlockBeats News, October 8th. Cryptocurrency asset management company Bitwise predicted that a U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF will attract record inflows in the fourth quarter, with the total for the year expected to surpass the sum of 2024.

Earlier this year, Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan predicted that Bitcoin ETF inflows in 2025 would surpass the $36 billion scale of the first issuance year. As of now, actual inflows are approximately $22.5 billion, and at this pace, it is expected to reach $30 billion by the end of the year—slightly below the first-year performance.

However, in a client memo on Tuesday, Hougan expressed no concerns and expected a strong fourth quarter to drive record inflows, citing three key factors driving this event: wealth management institution clearance, skyrocketing Bitcoin prices, and the "currency debasement hedge" narrative.
