Crypto News: In a recent televised interview on CNBC, renowned investor Cathie Wood, the CEO of Ark Invest, made a bold prediction for the future price of Bitcoin. According to Wood’s analysis, the flagship cryptocurrency could surge to a staggering $1 million by 2030, with its base price currently hovering around $600,000.
Cathie Wood Maintains Bullish Stance On Bitcoin
Despite the regulatory challenges and lawsuits targeting crypto platforms operating in the United States, Wood remains steadfast in her optimistic outlook. She views Bitcoin as a perfect hedge against inflation and counterparty risk, highlighting its unique attributes. Wood describes Bitcoin’s creation as a “very big idea” and refers to it as the “first global, private, no government oversight, digital, rule-based monetary system.”

This isn’t the first time Wood has made audacious price predictions for Bitcoin. In a May 2021 interview with Bloomberg, she forecasted that Bitcoin would reach $500,000 by 2026. In early 2022, she further raised the bar, setting the target at $1 million by 2030. Wood’s unwavering confidence stems from its ability to withstand financial crises, highlighting the recent banking turmoil where Bitcoin’s price remained resilient, thereby acting as a “flight to safety” according to Woods.
Woods Optimistic Take On Coinbase & Regulations
Wood has also expressed bullish sentiments regarding Coinbase, the leading cryptocurrency exchange in the United States. In light of recent legal challenges faced by Coinbase and the Binance exchange amid the U.S. SEC’s wild crypto crackdowns, Wood differentiated between the two — asserting that the crypto heavyweights did not belong to the same category. Moreover, Wood maintained her optimism surrounding COIN’s stock price as evidenced by her recent purchases of the equities.
