Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, emphasized the firm's focus on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and the emerging project Hyperliquid in a recent interview. Wood described Bitcoin as the only true cryptocurrency, poised to become the core of the global monetary system. She highlighted Ethereum's pivotal role in the DeFi sector and noted Solana's rapid development, likening its potential to early-stage Ethereum. Additionally, Wood expressed optimism about stablecoins' ability to reduce global transaction costs and replace financial intermediaries. She attributed recent gold price increases to geopolitical tensions and market risk aversion rather than inflation expectations.
