Bitwise: Iran conflict suggests Bitcoin's potential market size may exceed that of gold.

According to ME News, on April 15th (UTC+8), Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that if Bitcoin is ultimately widely used as a currency and store of value, its potential market size could exceed the $34 trillion gold market. Hougan pointed out that in a world where countries are weaponizing their financial systems, Bitcoin is becoming a non-political alternative. He previously predicted that if Bitcoin captures 17% of the value store market within the next decade, its price could reach $1 million per coin; if it also assumes the role of an international currency, the target price would need to be revised upwards. Currently, Bitcoin's market capitalization is approximately $1.4 trillion, while gold's market capitalization is approximately $33.7 trillion. (Source: ME)
