Crypto Tokens Are Capturing Value, and Experts Predict a 2026 Rebound

New regulations and upgrades are enabling crypto tokens to capture value more effectively, according to Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise. He suggests this trend could lead to significant price increases in the coming years. Hougan highlights that previous token designs were often hampered by uncertain governance structures, leading to limited value capture. However, recent regulatory changes are paving the way for a shift towards more efficient and focused design choices, which Hougan believes will result in greater token valuation in 2026.
