<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-year-of-ipos">The Year Of IPOs!</h2>

<p>Bitwise predicts that tokens launched by AI agents will spearhead a memecoin mania. Strikingly, the next prediction it made is that the number of countries holding bitcoin will double.

It predicts that the stablecoin assets market will double to $400+ billion, as the U.S. passes long-awaited stablecoin legislation. As Wall Street’s embrace of crypto intensifies, it foresees the tokenized RWA market to reach $50 billion.</p>  
<p>Finally, in a bonus prediction, it has boldly forecasted that Bitcoin will overtake the $18 trillion gold market and trade above $1 million per bitcoin in 2029.</p>
