During the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, industry leaders discussed the evolving landscape of financial products. Hunter Horsley highlighted the significant assets managed by wealth managers in the U.S. and the potential for Bitcoin allocation. Justin Sun emphasized Bitcoin's role in decentralized finance, particularly through its use as collateral in smart contracts. Mike Belshe focused on what makes a successful stablecoin, pointing out the necessity of market liquidity. Horsley also noted a trend of corporations adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets, indicative of a major shift in investment strategies.
In the US wealth managers manage between 30 and 60 trillion dollars. If wealth managers wind up allocating 1% to the space on behalf of their clients, helping their clients access the opportunities here that are hundreds and billions of dollars.
Raw Bitcoin is a way to get your Bitcoin into a smart contract platform. You can use your Bitcoin as collateral you borrow like stablecoin, you borrow other major crypto currencies tokens and also of course generate yield on the Bitcoin you are holding because Bitcoin is a proof of network.
What makes a good stablecoin whether you are talking about dollars or Bitcoin, it's the liquidity that you have on the market around the world.
Corporations are buying Bitcoin. It's an extraordinary theme of this year. As of the first quarter of this year, 79 publicly traded companies had put Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
