SAEDNEWS: Bitwise Asset Management has boldly labeled Solana “one of the biggest growth opportunities in the crypto world.” According to the firm’s Chief Investment Officer, the combination of expanding stablecoin markets and Solana’s superior technical performance could pave a Bitcoin-like upward trajectory for the cryptocurrency.
According to the Digital Currency Service of SaedNews, citing Crypto Daily, asset management firm Bitwise has expressed strong optimism about Solana (SOL), calling it one of the largest growth opportunities in the cryptocurrency market. Matt Hougan, the company’s Chief Investment Officer, said Solana could experience a sharp upward trajectory similar to Bitcoin.
Hougan wrote on social media platform X:
"When I invest in Solana, I’m actually betting on two things: the expansion of the stablecoin and tokenization markets, and Solana’s ability to capture a larger share of that market."
He highlighted Solana’s speed, scalability, and low transaction costs as key advantages, adding that the developer ecosystem, continuous growth of DeFi, and institutional adoption are fueling growing confidence in the network.
According to Hougan, interest from companies like Western Union in building stablecoins on Solana reflects increasing trust in the blockchain’s performance. He described Solana’s growth pattern as similar to Bitcoin and stated:
"If the combination of market growth and Solana’s increasing share continues, the result will be a price explosion."
Meanwhile, Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETF, trading under the ticker BSOL on the NYSE, launched last week. On its first day, it set a record for the highest trading volume among ETFs in 2025. Bitwise sees this as a sign of growing institutional demand for Solana and the strengthening of its position as a professional investment asset.
