Great co-hosting with you @humafinance 🔥
Huma and @Bitwise co-hosted Institutional Liquidity Dinner during @ethconf, bringing together institutional leaders, builders, and operators working at the forefront of onchain finance, PayFi, and stablecoins. The room included @0xFluid, @Tether, @Chainlink, @Turtledotxyz, @Upshift_fi, and SBI Group. One thing was clear: Institutional adoption of stablecoins for treasury, payments, and settlement has moved from conversations to execution. Conversations around digital assets has never felt more optimistic and urgent. The infrastructure for global onchain finance isn't built alone. Rooms like this are where it starts. Thank you to everyone who joined, and to the @Bitwise team for making it happen together.

When @Bitwise started in 2017, these were the leaders: * Leading custodians: Xapo, Kingdom Trust * Leading crypto funds: Metastable, Polychain, Blockchain Capital, Pantera * Leading exchanges: Poloniex, Bittrex, Bitfinex, BitMEX, Bitstamp, Kraken, GDAX, Coinbase * Leading assets included: NEO, OmiseGo, NEM, DASH, IOTA, BCH, ETC, BTC, ETH, XRP Every few years, crypto has a changing of the guard. Some of the leaders who got us here don't continue. Others do. 2026 is a changing of the guard. A new vintage is beginning. The crypto community feels it. People are feeling an subconscious sense of loss, nostalgia, uncertainty. But remember too, there's a rebirth, and great new things around the corner.

~$31,000,000 of Bitwise Solana Staking ETF $BSOL volume traded today. ~$16,000,000 of Bitwise Hyperliquid ETF $BHYP traded today. Both greater than most other crypto ETFs. Revenue chains punching above their weight.
There's a new class in crypto: the revenue chains. The leaders are Hyperliquid & Solana. Both do some overlapping things, and some different things. Both have exceptional communities, usage, use cases, etc. I think that both will rise together, just as iOS and Android both rode the structural adoption of mobile. In the case of the revenue chains, they are riding the wave of capital markets coming onchain. Right place, right time for both. If you are rooting for HYPE or SOL or both, success will be less about the competition between the two (healthy ofc), but rather the rise of onchain capital markets. Root for capital markets coming onchain. Love seeing crypto succeed —

"Most people think Hyperliquid is a crypto app targeting the $3 trillion crypto market. It’s a super app targeting the $600 trillion global asset market."

"Bitwise will be devoting 10% of the Bitwise Hyperliquid ETF ($BHYP) management fee to holding HYPE on the Bitwise balance sheet." That's it. That's the tweet. Hyperliquid
May 18
Hyperliquid was built different. As in, 99% of the blockchain’s revenue is used to buy and burn HYPE. It's a community-first model based on this idea: If the protocol succeeds, the community succeeds. In that spirit, we’re pleased to announce that Bitwise will be devoting 10% of the Bitwise Hyperliquid ETF ($BHYP) management fee to holding HYPE on the Bitwise balance sheet.* The Hyperliquid community has known from Day One that, if Hyperliquid becomes one of the most powerful and disruptive forces in finance, those who hold HYPE should play a big part in that. We’re holding HYPE.

The Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF $BITW was just approved on a $1 trillion AUM wealth firm. Access to crypto is hurtling ahead. By the end of this year, crypto will be obviously mainstream. Onward —

Increasingly, people aren't going to sell their Bitcoin. When they want $$, they're just going to borrow against it —

By the end of 2026 — Crypto will so obviously be a mainstream asset class, it won't even be an interesting topic anymore. This is a one way train.
Current home page of Morgan Stanley Investment Management… *Morgan Stanley* is now leading w/ crypto. Wild to see.

Proud and excited for @jacqmelinek 🔥
🚨PSA: Today is @TokenRelations' 2 year anniversary and the start of a new chapter. We’re rebranding our parent company to @StrataMedia_. When we launched in 2024, token issuers and crypto projects had momentum but lacked maturity. Token Relations set out to change that and bring structure, credibility, and consistency to how teams communicate with their communities and investors. At the time, even positioning ourselves around investor relations was controversial. Many teams avoided it altogether. But as the market evolved, so did the need. Some of the teams who dismissed us earlier came back to work with us under the new administration in 2025, because the environment was friendlier and they realized they needed this service. Today, Token Relations has become a stacked business with: - 130,000 subscribers across 183 countries - 8.5M total views in 2025, up 280% year-over-year - 50 leading crypto, TradFi, fintech, and VC firms subscribed to our investor updates Digital assets are a fundamental pillar of our business and we see even more opportunities to tap into as the market evolves. That is why we’re reorganizing under a new parent company to unite our work beneath a single vision as we expand. StrataMedia brings together our brands: Token Relations, @_TalkingTokens, and @TheMarketRunup. Each serves a distinct role, but together they’re linked through a new category we’re building: strategy-driven media that moves financial markets. StrataMedia is a way for investors to get smarter and a way to educate a bigger market. Our products have been viewed by millions, caused token prices to shift, and has helped educate people on what they should pay attention to. In the coming months, we’ll be rolling out more initiatives aligned with our new mission to become the central communication hub and layer across traditional and digital financial markets. Thank you to everyone who has been with us so far, we continue to look to your support as we build for the next two, four, six, eight and ten years – and beyond. With Gratitude & Excitement, Jacquelyn Melinek Founder and CEO of StrataMedia (formerly known as Token Relations)

A wrap on a great week! Feel free to reach out if you'd like to learn more about our onchain offerings 🔥
That's a wrap on @EthCC! @hongkim__ shared how Bitwise is raising the bar for Ethereum staking. As more of the world’s largest asset managers and institutions enter the space, the need for reliable, institutional-grade infrastructure is only growing.

🔴 At our private event next to EthCC, our first panel asked a simple question: is "institutional-grade crypto" still an excuse, or a reality? @clarisse_hagege, @hongkim__ , and @randhindi gave clear answers: - Regulatory uncertainty is no longer the #1 blocker. The US administration's pro-innovation stance has shifted the debate from "if" to "how." - Privacy is the final frontier. Without confidential transactions, institutions can't move significant capital onchain without telegraphing their strategies to the entire market. - The industry is converging on one answer: public blockchains with a privacy layer, not permissioned ledgers. Institutions building on private chains today risk ending up on infra that won't scale or interoperate. The room was full, the questions were sharp, and the conversation was exactly the kind that doesn't happen at a conference panel with 5000 people. That's the point. I lead these private events at @TheBigWhale_ to create the conditions for that level of exchange, with the right people, around the right questions.
