Dialogue with Bitwise: Institutions See the Current Moment as a Good Entry Point for Bitcoin, Requiring a Clear Roadmap to Address Quantum Attacks

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan and research lead Ryan Rasmussen discuss key catalysts that could drive Bitcoin to $95,000 by 2026. They highlight three main factors: improved macro and geopolitical stability, clearer regulatory frameworks (including the potential passage of the Clarity Act), and strong institutional demand—evidenced by over $1 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows despite recent market uncertainty. A significant point of discussion is the rising concern around quantum computing threats to Bitcoin. Matt emphasizes the need for a clear mitigation roadmap to reassure long-term investors, particularly the "OG" crypto community, whose confidence has been affected. Both note that institutional investors view current prices as an attractive entry point and are making strategic long-term investments. The conversation also covers structural shifts in crypto, such as the growing institutional adoption of vaults (a more efficient form of asset management than ETFs), tokenization, and stablecoins. They observe a disconnect between crypto-native traders, who are emotionally reactive to price swings, and institutional or AI-focused builders, who are optimistic about blockchain’s foundational technology. Finally, they discuss the emerging importance of prediction markets (e.g., Polymarket and Kalshi), which provide more accurate real-time economic forecasts than traditional sources and offer new tools for portfolio hedging and risk management.

Pharos Network Completes $44 Million Series A Funding, Total Funding Reaches $52 Million, Accelerating the Scalable Development of the On-Chain Economy

Pharos Network, a Layer 1 blockchain designed for institutional financial applications, has raised $44 million in Series A funding, bringing its total funding to $52 million. The round was co-led by undisclosed major institutions, including a top Asian private equity fund, a listed new energy company, and a licensed Hong Kong institution. Other strategic investors include Sumitomo Corporation (via a subsidiary), SNZ, Chainlink, and Flow Traders. The funds will accelerate the development of its on-chain real-world asset (RWA) infrastructure in Asia and globally. Pharos aims to integrate $50 trillion in RWA, traditional finance (TradFi), and cross-chain capital into a modular on-chain economy. The network uses a deeply parallel execution architecture with built-in compliance modules tailored for real-time, asset-backed financial applications. The company recently partnered with energy giant GCL to launch an RWA pilot project backed by energy assets. Its Atlantic Ocean testnet is already operational, supporting millions of users and hundreds of millions of addresses, demonstrating its capacity for high-frequency, high-value asset transfers in preparation for mainnet launch. Pharos was co-founded by ex-Ant Group core management, including CEO Wish Wu, and previously raised an $8 million seed round in November 2024.
