Bitwise CEO: Inflation-Cutting Proposals Look Hopeless, Demand Growth Is the Fix

According to Odaily, Bitwise's CEO wrote on X that the inflation-cutting proposals under discussion look, to him, like a sign of hopelessness and helplessness. He said people want their asset valuations to rise, but do not know what else can be done to make that happen. He argued that the industry should move toward creating value, capturing value and driving demand—harder tasks, but where growth actually lives. Instead, the momentum is shifting toward tightening, which lowers the economic returns for ecosystem participants and holders. The right path is more difficult but also simple: grow demand. That means focusing on demand generation rather than shrinking returns, he said. His comments were reported by Odaily as a newsflash and offer a direct take on how to address weak price momentum without resorting to contraction.
