Bitwise Predicts Hyperliquid and Robinhood as Catalysts for Crypto Bull Market

Bitwise has forecasted that Hyperliquid and Robinhood's integration into traditional finance could drive Bitcoin and Ether prices higher in 2026. Matt Hougan, Bitwise's chief investment officer, expects the next crypto rally to be fueled by these platforms bringing 24/7 trading and other crypto benefits to TradFi. While Bitcoin is 'finally showing signs of a bottom,' Hougan emphasizes that long-term gains will come from crypto-focused integrations rather than traditional assets.

■Hyperliquid's trading volume includes 45% in conventional assets like oil, silver, and the S&P 500.

■Robinhood's Layer-2 network is seen as a key competitor, accelerating crypto adoption among mainstream investors. Hougan remains bullish, predicting the end of crypto winter 'sooner rather than later' and stating, 'Here’s the good news: We’re closer than you think.' > Markets should monitor these developments closely, as Bitcoin's apparent demand has been re-accelerating. European research head Andre Dragosch noted that the difference between newly mined BTC and supply inactive for over a year has been rising, signaling a potential bottom formation.
