Crypto is at early stage of a three-year bull market, says this asset manager

After a court ruling about cryptocurrency XRP XRPUSD excited the digital asset industry last week, this week has been relatively quiet.

I spoke to Hunter Horsley, chief executive at Bitwise Asset Management, a crypto-focused firm with over $1 billion assets under management, about his expectations for the market in the next few years. Each bull market had a different catalyst, Horsley said. Bitcoin’s creation in 2009 led to crypto’s first bull market which lasted through 2013, and ether’s launch in 2015 triggered a bull cycle that ended in 2018. Crypto prices received a boost from different applications of blockchains from 2019 to 2021, said Horsley.

Bitcoin gained over 80% so far this year to around $30,000, but is still down more than 50% from its all-time high in 2021, according to CoinDesk data. To be sure, the crypto space is still relatively young, while past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
