In a recent statement, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that the launch of a new token sales platform by Coinbase marks a significant shift in how capital is formed in the crypto industry. Compliant ICOs are expected to reshape the financing model in 2026 and become a key force driving the next market bull run.

Hougan believes that after Bitcoin reshaped as 'digital gold', stablecoins as 'digital dollars', and asset tokenization as a revolution in trading and settlement systems, the fourth phase in the crypto industry will be a decentralized innovation in 'capital formation'. He noted that Coinbase will introduce a rigorously vetted token project every month, with the first project being Monad (MON) available for sale from November 17th to 22nd.

Hougan predicts that in 2026, there could be multiple compliant ICOs with market values exceeding one billion dollars, creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors while strengthening the long-term investment logic for crypto assets.
