Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan has voiced strong confidence in Solana, calling it one of the most promising layer-1 blockchains in the crypto market. Hougan said Solana offers “two ways to win” — by capturing a growing share of the stablecoin and tokenization infrastructure market, which he expects to expand more than tenfold in the coming years. He praised Solana’s fast, user-friendly technology and strong community that embraces rapid innovation.

Hougan believes institutional interest in Solana is accelerating, citing Western Union’s recent adoption of the blockchain for stablecoin settlements. While Ethereum remains dominant with over $163 billion in stablecoin market capitalization, Hougan considers Solana, Tron, and BNB Chain top contenders for market leadership.

Bitwise recently launched a Solana staking ETF, highlighting its growing focus on the blockchain. Hougan compared Solana’s upside to Bitcoin’s, noting both could benefit from rising market size and increasing market share — a “two-way win” scenario for investors.

Coinbase reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter earnings Thursday, posting $1.9 billion in revenue — up 26% from the previous quarter — as renewed crypto market momentum boosted both trading and stablecoin income. 

The San Francisco-based exchange notched $433 million in net profit, or $1.50 per share, surpassing Wall Street expectations of $1.10 per share on $1.8 billion in revenue.

Despite a sequential decline from its record $1.4 billion profit in Q2, Coinbase attributed the drop primarily to non-cash mark-to-market adjustments related to its holdings in Circle and its crypto portfolio.

Bitcoin price continued its slide through much of Thursday, dipping to as low as $106,290 as traders digested a wave of macro uncertainty — from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s cautious tone on future rate cuts to renewed volatility following U.S.–China trade talks.

The bitcoin price fell over 3% in early trading before stabilizing slightly above $107,000. The drop extends a multi-day long decline that began after the Federal Reserve delivered a widely expected 25 basis point rate cut but signaled that December’s meeting may not bring another.

Powell’s remarks at the post-meeting press conference struck a notably hawkish tone. While acknowledging progress toward…

Nordea Bank Abp has revealed plans to give its customers access to a Bitcoin-based synthetic exchange-traded product (ETP) starting December 2025. The new offering, created in partnership with CoinShares International Limited, will be available through Nordea’s execution-only platform, allowing users to trade the product independently without advisory services from the bank.

The decision comes as the European crypto market matures under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCa), set to take full effect across the EU in December 2024. Nordea pointed to the region’s growing appetite for digital assets among both retail and institutional investors, particularly across the Nordic countries.

Unlike direct Bitcoin ownership, the synthetic ETP provides exposure through a traditional financial instrument, offering a regulated path to crypto investment. Nordea described the product as designed for experienced investors seeking diversified and alternative asset opportunities within the expanding crypto landscape.
