Bitwise CIO: Blockchain Transaction Volume Could Rise 10x to 100x

BitcoinWorld Bitwise CIO: Blockchain Transaction Volume Could Rise 10x to 100x Blockchain transaction volume could increase by 10 to 100 times over the next few years, according to Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Asset Management.

Speaking with Crypto Briefing, Hougan attributed the projected surge to the accelerating tokenization of real-world assets and the growing role of AI agents in financial decision-making.

Drivers Behind the Predicted Growth Hougan pointed to a broad shift of traditional financial instruments onto blockchain networks. “Everything from U.S. Treasuries to stocks is being converted into on-chain products,” he said.

This trend, often referred to as real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, is expanding the utility of blockchain beyond cryptocurrencies into mainstream finance.
