Anthony Pompliano said in his latest podcast episode on Thursday that Bitcoin is demonstrating "true product-market fit," citing rising interest from both traditional finance and geopolitical actors. He pointed to the launch of a low-fee Bitcoin exchange-traded fund by Morgan Stanley as evidence of accelerating institutional adoption. Pompliano also referenced reports suggesting that Iran may have explored a ceasefire-related arrangement involving a transit tax potentially settled in Bitcoin.

He referred to his old interview with Michael Ellis, the deputy director of the CIA, last year who said that "Bitcoin is here to stay. Cryptocurrency is here to stay." Pompliano concluded that Bitcoin is a "digital, decentralized, non-sovereign asset" with expanding appeal across investor classes. He said the next 15 years could see even greater adoption as Bitcoin continues to evolve within both institutional finance and global economic systems.
