Matt Hougan's thesis rests on an addressable market $500T deep: tokenized stocks, bonds and real estate running on chains that today only clear roughly $2T of crypto volume.
The 11,500-bank messaging backbone finally moves onto a shared ledger, with tokenized deposits earmarked for wholesale settlement and stablecoins pushed into a complementary retail corridor.
The figures cannot be independently verified, but they are the first concrete metrics a major venue has put on a claim bitcoin developers have been making all month.
VanEck's own data: when 8-12 signals have fired, BTC averaged just 12.8% over the next 90 days, below its long-run 15.2%. The only edge appears at the one-year horizon.
The five-year ladder hinges on Starship cadence, Starlink ARPU holding, and SpaceX re-rating to 8x-9x sales if 2026 revenue hits the $22B-to-$24B guided band.

The push treats MEV as an economic problem, with privacy tools designed to shield transaction intent while retaining selective disclosure for legitimate needs.
