According to Odaily, Bitwise Chief Information Officer Matt Hougan expressed on the X platform that if the demand for ETFs persists over the long term, Bitcoin's price could enter a phase of parabolic growth. Hougan drew a parallel with the projected 65% increase in gold prices by 2025, noting that both gold and Bitcoin prices are influenced by supply and demand dynamics. In 2022, following the U.S. seizure of Russian sovereign debt deposits, central banks worldwide increased their annual gold purchases from approximately 500 tons to around 1,000 tons, maintaining this level consistently. This shift in demand altered the supply-demand balance, although it did not immediately reflect in gold prices. Gold prices rose by 2% in 2022, 13% in 2023, and 27% in 2024, with parabolic growth only occurring in 2025. This pattern emerged because the demand in previous years was met by holders willing to sell gold, and once the selling pressure from these holders was exhausted, prices surged significantly. Currently, Bitcoin is experiencing a similar situation with ETFs. Since the debut of ETFs in January 2024, their purchase volume has exceeded the new supply of Bitcoin by 100%. Despite this, prices have not yet entered a parabolic phase due to the willingness of existing holders to sell. If ETF demand continues, the selling pressure from current holders will eventually be depleted, potentially leading to a significant price increase.

According to Odaily, U.S. Senator and senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, Elizabeth Warren, has urged a pause on the national trust bank license application associated with World Liberty Trust Co. until U.S. President Donald Trump divests his family's holdings in related digital asset businesses. Warren has reportedly written to Jonathan Gould, the Acting Comptroller of the Currency, requesting a delay in the application process as long as Trump retains interests in the matter. She highlighted that if the application is approved, the regulations set by the authorities could directly impact the profitability of the President's related enterprises, posing a significant conflict of interest. Warren noted that Congress failed to address such issues when passing the GENIUS Act, and therefore, the Senate has a responsibility to confront these conflicts while considering cryptocurrency market structure legislation. The Senate Banking Committee is set to hold hearings on the relevant bill, but the latest draft has yet to include the government ethics provisions previously demanded by Democrats.

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, the senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, has called for a halt to the application for a U.S. national trust banking license related to World Liberty Trust Co. until Donald Trump divests his family's stake in the related digital asset business. Warren has reportedly written to Jonathan Gould, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, requesting a delay in the application process while Trump still holds a stake. She argues that if the application is approved, regulatory rules could directly impact the profitability of presidential-related businesses, posing a serious conflict of interest. Warren stated that Congress failed to address such issues when passing the GENIUS bill, and therefore the Senate has a responsibility to address these conflicts when considering legislation on the crypto market structure.

Matt Hougan, Chief Information Officer of Bitwise, stated in an article on the X platform that if ETF demand continues in the long term, the price of BTC will enter a parabolic growth phase. Hougan cited the 65% increase in gold prices in 2025 as an example, pointing out that the prices of both gold and BTC are determined by supply and demand. After the US seized Russian government bonds in 2022, central banks' annual gold purchases increased from approximately 500 tons to approximately 1000 tons and remained stable. This demand altered the supply-demand balance, but it wasn't immediately reflected in prices. Gold prices rose 2% in 2022, 13% in 2023, and 27% in 2024, only experiencing parabolic growth in 2025. This is because the demand in the preceding years was met by holders willing to sell gold; when selling pressure was exhausted and demand persisted, prices surged. A similar situation exists for BTC and ETFs. Since the ETF's debut in January 2024, its purchases have exceeded 100% of the new BTC supply. The price has not yet entered a parabolic phase due to existing holders' willingness to sell. If ETF demand continues, the selling pressure from existing sellers will eventually be exhausted.
