Anticipated Regulatory Relief In a recent interview on CNBC\u2019s Squawk Box, Wood discussed her expectations for Bitcoin’s price trajectory. She stated that ARK Invest’s targets for 2030 range between $650,000 and, in a bullish scenario, between $1 million and $1.5 million.\u00a0 Ark\u2019s CEO attributed the current uptrend in Bitcoin’s value to several catalysts, particularly the anticipated regulatory relief that could come from Trump\u2019s new administration.

He also vowed to make America the “crypto capital of the world” with a new framework and support for digital assets, with Bitcoin at the center of his economic agenda.\u00a0 This has resonated well with industry advocates, as evidenced by the broader market rally led by the market’s largest digital assets, which have risen nearly 25% since Trump’s election victory.\u00a0 Bitcoin As A Unique Asset Class\u00a0 During the interview, Wood also highlighted that ARK Invest was the first public asset manager to invest in Bitcoin when it was priced at just $250 in 2015. The asset manager believes that even at approximately $90,000, Bitcoin still has significant growth potential.\u00a0 According to Wood, Trump’s victory is pivotal, as it signals a shift toward a more favorable regulatory environment for the cryptocurrency sector\u2014an outcome she views as crucial for Bitcoin’s future.

She believes that this shift indicates that institutional investors and asset allocators are increasingly looking to include Bitcoin in their portfolios, recognizing its potential as both a store of value and a hedge against inflation. At the time of writing, BTC is hovering around the $90,120 mark, still up 16% in the weekly time frame, despite the current retracement experienced over the past 48 hours.
