Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan joins Zaid Admani to explain why tokenization could bring the biggest change to stock trading in a century. He breaks down how investors could soon trade stocks around the clock with nearly instant settlement and why everything from real estate to Pokémon cards could eventually move onto the blockchain. Hougan also explains why major banks pushed back against the Clarity Act and what its failure means for crypto regulation. Plus, he makes the case that Bitcoin’s ability to rally through bad news is a powerful signal of strength. The conversation explores what could drive crypto’s next major bull market and whether Bitcoin is finally beginning to behave like digital gold.
