Bitwise CIO says token buybacks and burns could drive crypto values sharply higher

A structure that directly links protocol revenue to token buybacks and burns could at least double cryptocurrency values, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said. He said the non-bitcoin market is being reshaped around network revenue, but investors have not fully priced in the shift. Hougan cited Hyperliquid, Uniswap and Aave as examples and said the model could spread across DeFi applications and layer-1 networks in 12 to 24 months.
