"Taking things that exist in the normal market and putting a digital wrapper on top of them is great, but that doesn't really show off the efficiencies and benefits of the technology." - @JohnNahas84 on why issuers should build digitally native from day one.

JUST IN: Bitwise interviewed 15 of the world's largest institutions. 📌 Not one cut their crypto allocation during the ~50% drawdown 📌 Every one that owns crypto owns Bitcoin Bitwise calls it "the universal institutional conviction asset."

Excited to announce today that @Bitwise Model Portfolios are now available to the $140 billion and 135,000 wealth management accounts on the @viseinc platform. Many advisors want to help their clients participate in the opportunities in crypto. But they don't have time to allocate 1% to 5 different things, and then constantly have to monitor the daily developments. Model Portfolios help solve that. Bitwise creates, monitors, & rebalances the portfolio for the advisor. We've never been more excited about the opportunities emerging as finance comes onchain. And love getting to help investors participate. (More on Bitwise models here:

🔥 NEW: Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said the Clarity Act's failure is "a speed bump, not a roadblock." He argues that Wall Street's crypto adoption and pro-crypto SEC and CFTC leadership mean the bull market doesn't depend on the bill.

THE BLOCK: None of the 15 major institutional investors interviewed by Bitwise reduced their crypto allocations during the roughly 50% market drawdown between October 2025 and April 2026. Several bought more, while most reported crypto allocations of between 1% and 2% of investable assets, according to a new report.

Most institutional allocators who own crypto don't share their thinking broadly. So, we spoke with 15 endowments, sovereigns, corporates, pensions, and multi-family offices — And put together quotes and notes (with their permission & no-names), to provide more insight. Not surprising, these institutions are smart, well informed, and glad to have exposure. Delighted to share the report. Take a look:
