Bitcoin Enters a New Market Era as the Four-Year Cycle Becomes Obsolete, Bitwise CEO Says After ETF Launch

COINOTAG News notes that Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley recently reframed the crypto cycle, saying the traditional four-year pattern belongs to a bygone era. He emphasized that the cycle’s significance should be viewed in the context of evolving market dynamics rather than a fixed timeline. With the launch of a Bitcoin ETF and a refreshed leadership lineup, the sector has entered a new market structure characterized by altered participation and trading incentives.

That said, Horsley suggests the sector has likely moved beyond a roughly six-month bear phase and may be poised for renewed upside. In parallel, the development environment for cryptocurrency activity has never been more favorable, underpinning ongoing project activity and investor interest.
