According to PANews, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood has expressed optimism about Bitcoin's future, suggesting that institutional adoption could prevent significant price declines. In a recent interview on 'Mornings with Maria,' Wood stated that Bitcoin's role as a risk asset might disrupt its historical four-year boom-and-bust cycle, which previously saw price drops of 75% to 90%. She noted that Bitcoin's volatility is decreasing, with current declines around 30%. Despite Bitcoin's past role as a safe-haven asset during crises like the European sovereign debt crisis and the U.S. regional banking crisis, it is now exhibiting characteristics of a risk asset. Concerns persist about Bitcoin's cyclical pattern, but institutional involvement may mitigate further downturns. Wood suggested that Bitcoin's price may have bottomed out weeks ago. Over the past three months, Bitcoin has fallen by 20%, while gold prices have surged nearly 60% this year. Wood forecasts a potential reversal of this trend next year, with gold prices possibly declining and Bitcoin expected to rise. She remarked that gold currently acts as a safe-haven asset, reflecting widespread concerns as investors use it to hedge against geopolitical risks. Wood drew parallels to the period from the early 1980s to the late 1990s, when gold prices fell during a time of significant innovation, culminating in the internet era. She believes a similar scenario might unfold now, with Bitcoin continuing to thrive as a risk asset and regaining momentum.
