Her comments underscore the view that Bitcoin is maturing into a truly global monetary system and a transformational financial asset unlike anything before it.
Volatility Fades, Conviction Grows
Acknowledging Bitcoin’s historical volatility, Wood emphasized that the digital asset is gradually becoming less volatile as long-term holders increase. “That’s the first thing people have to know about it,” she said. “It’s volatile—but that volatility is declining as the investor base strengthens.”
Her prediction that Bitcoin could rise 15x in value is rooted in a belief that the asset represents not just a speculative instrument but a new asset class capable of disrupting traditional finance.
Unmatched Infrastructure and Security
Wood highlighted Bitcoin’s unparalleled security and resilience, noting that its layer-one blockchain has never been hacked since its launch in 2009. “Think about that,” she said. “How many systems can say that?”
She described BTC as “native to the internet”, underscoring that unlike traditional currencies, it is designed to integrate directly into the digital world, enabling borderless transactions and programmable money.
A Bet on the Future of Finance
Cathie Wood’s bullish thesis is based on the view that Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other digital assets are not just speculative bets but the foundation of a new financial infrastructure. She positioned them as “vying to be the native currencies to the internet,” helping to enable smart contracts and transform the financial services industry.
When asked about Ark Invest’s position in Coinbase, Wood said the exchange plays a critical role as a gateway to digital assets, reflecting her broader commitment to the sector’s future.
