Bitwise says XRP most-asked-about crypto at financial adviser meetings
XRP was the cryptocurrency that drew the most questions at a briefing for financial advisers, Bitwise research analyst Ryan Rasmussen said. He said questions about XRP dominated a presentation to about 400 advisers that also covered bitcoin, Solana, Hyperliquid, stablecoins and tokenisation. U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds recorded 11 straight sessions of net inflows through Tuesday before posting an outflow on Sept. 2. Disclosures also showed Goldman Sachs had the largest XRP exposure among reporting institutions.

Bitwise says bitcoin needs repricing; $1 million is only a baseline
Asset manager Bitwise interprets bitcoin\'s recent strength as a direct beneficiary of geopolitical instability and said $1 million could become a long-term baseline price. Matt Hougan and Ryan Rasmussen argued bitcoin rose during risk-off periods, citing moves after Feb. 28. Bitwise said demand for neutral, non-sovereign money is increasing as the global financial system fractures and as non-dollar settlement channels expand.

Bitwise forecasts crypto bull market in 2026, bitcoin to hit record high
Bitwise forecast a strong crypto bull market in 2026 and said bitcoin could break away from the traditional four-year halving cycle to set a record high. It expects rate cuts, accelerating institutional inflows and an improved regulatory environment to support gains, with spot ETFs absorbing new supply of bitcoin, ether and solana. Bitwise also projected broader institutional adoption and more crypto-related ETFs in the United States, while flagging risks from rapid stablecoin growth.
