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

CoinFeed reported on April 15th, citing Cointelegraph, that 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 is approximately $33.7 trillion.
