Bitwise CEO: A New Cycle Has Begun, the Crypto Market is Undergoing “Generational Transition” This Year

Odaily reports that Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley posted on X, stating that since 2017, the crypto market has undergone a “generational shift” every few years, with some early leaders exiting the stage while others continue to exert influence, including custodians, crypto funds, exchanges, and major assets. 2026 marks the beginning of a new round of this “transition.” The community is currently experiencing underlying feelings of loss, nostalgia, and uncertainty, but this also heralds rebirth and new opportunities. A new generation of participants and innovative projects will inject vitality into the market and kick off a new cycle for crypto assets.
