Summary
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan analyzes that the recent leverage unwind involving Strategy's STRC instrument may signal a market bottom for Bitcoin, rather than systemic failure. He argues this is a late-cycle leverage dynamic driven by capital quality concerns among yield-seeking investors. Bitcoin currently holds above $60,000, and Hougan suggests a potential bull run could emerge in the fall.
