Like Bitcoin [BTC] As the stock continues to rise, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood’s predictions point to an even more extraordinary trajectory.
Wood’s predictions foresee a notable price milestone of $1 million for BTC in 2030.
In a recent one interview Working with the New Zealand Herald, Wood delved into the evolving landscape of institutional participation, shedding light on the crucial role of institutions in fueling Bitcoin’s rise.
She noted:
“Bitcoin alone will make up the largest portion of the entire crypto asset ecosystem.”
Will BTC stand the test of time?
Since the launch of the first spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Bitcoin in the United States, Cathie Wood has highlighted the significant transformation within the cryptocurrency space.
Highlighting the impact of spot ETFs, Wood noted that even ARK Invest, her own firm, has revised its bullish stance on BTC.
Wood previously targeted $1 million per BTC by 2030, while acknowledging regulatory approval, explaining:
“That goal was before the SEC gave us the green light, and I think that was an important milestone, and it moved the timeline forward.”
Despite this progress, Wood highlighted the absence of major institutions like Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch and Bank of America in the institutional push towards Bitcoin, highlighting:
“No platform has approved Bitcoin yet, so all this price action happened before they approved it, so we haven’t even started yet.”
Given these factors, Wood suggested that the initial goal of $1 million by 2030 now seems conservative.
Making the same comment on this, James Van Stratena research and data analyst at CryptoSlate, said simply:
“It’s going to be a wild week.”
The constant expectations
As Bitcoin continues its upward trajectory to unprecedented highs, traders and analysts will anticipate continued price discovery in the coming week, driven by ETF inflows, indicating continued momentum.
Cathie Wood’s suggestion for a substantially higher target, coupled with James’ emphasis on Bitcoin surpassing $70,000, illustrates the evolving dynamics shaping the cryptocurrency landscape.
