Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, predicts an explosive rise in the crypto market over the next decade as regulation becomes clearer and institutional adoption increases.
Perspective from a Crypto Believer
Wood believes the crypto market will grow from $1 trillion today to $25 trillion by 2030. She cites growing interest from Wall Street firms like BlackRock offering crypto assets as a key driver of this growth. As an early adopter through ARK Invest and bitcoin/Ethereum bull, Wood is an influential voice.
Growth Will Be Led by Bitcoin and Ethereum
According to Wood, bitcoin and Ethereum will dominate the crypto market’s growth in the coming years. She draws a parallel to the early days of the internet, noting that crypto is a “very big idea” still in its infancy.
The Value of Crypto as an Asset Class
Wood sees crypto, especially bitcoin, as an important diversifier away from legacy economies and central banks. She describes it as an inflation and deflation hedge. With multiple Bitcoin ETF applications under review, excitement is building around this new asset class.
