The Bull Market, Institutional Adoption & 2026 Recession? | Willy Woo
Willy Woo gets into Bitcoin’s evolving market structure, breaking down how institutional flows, ETFs, and treasury companies are reshaping the bull market. He explains why Bitcoin has never faced a true business cycle downturn, why 2026 could be the first real test, and how liquidity waves set the rhythm for both blow-off tops and brutal bear markets.
He unpacks the mechanics of Strategy's debt model versus MetaPlanet’s synthetic leverage, how ETFs are smoothing inflows and dampening volatility, and why premiums to NAV create both opportunity and risk. Willy also zooms out to the thousand-year arc of money, showing why fiat is a short-lived social consensus ledger and Bitcoin is destined to be the next energy-secured system of value.
In this episode:
- How ETFs are changing Bitcoin’s price dynamics
- Premiums to NAV, synthetic leverage, and liquidation risk
- Why treasury companies could amplify the next bear market
- Liquidity cycles and business downturns
