In an interview that touched on a variety of topics, from artificial intelligence (AI) to interest rates, Wood said she believes Bitcoin could be a trillion-dollar asset like gold. However, Wood stressed that this comparison is not just about value, but that Bitcoin could also play a role as a decentralized, private alternative to traditional currencies.
For Bitcoin to reach a value of $1 million per coin, Wood said Bitcoin needs to play an important role as a security for individuals and institutions in emerging markets and has broad applicability. According to Wood, Bitcoin represents a new era in finance and stands out as a global, digital, and decentralized monetary system.
Cathie Wood said her findings are based on Bitcoin’s scarcity, security, and growing acceptance in the financial community. In her view, Bitcoin represents a major shift in the financial world, particularly following the closure of the U.S. gold window in 1971.
