Wood praised Bitcoin\u2019s resilience and uniqueness, stating, <em>\u201cIt is a big idea and unstoppable. There\u2019s no throat to choke. When Facebook launched Libra, there was a throat to choke, but there\u2019s no such vulnerability with Bitcoin.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>She argued that Bitcoin\u2019s potential and significance surpass all other cryptocurrencies, emphasizing the importance of its core principles like decentralization and self-custody. <em>\u201cThe heat is on because Bitcoin is a new asset class. It\u2019s a monetary system, but it also represents a new asset class,\u201d<\/em> Wood remarked, referencing the recent spot Bitcoin ETF approval.<\/p>\n<h2>The Role of Regulation and Policy<\/h2>\n<p>Wood found the recent approval of a spot Ethereum ETF surprising, attributing its swift approval to growing pro-crypto sentiment in the U.S. government. <em>\u201cThe read was that [the ETF] was not going to be approved. It was absolutely not going to be approved,\u201d<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n<p>She also noted the impact of legislative actions like <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/fit21-bill-clears-u-s-house\/\">FIT21<\/a> and Former President Donald Trump\u2019s favorable stance on crypto, indicating that cryptocurrency policy is becoming an election issue. <em>\u201cWe were sure it was going to be denied,\u201d<\/em> Wood added.<\/p>\n<p>Wood believes cryptocurrency\u2019s rise as a major election topic is forcing candidates and legislators to clarify their regulatory positions, potentially influencing the future of finance and technology.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

No question,\u201d she affirmed. She highlighted Bitcoin\u2019s widespread usability and global monetary value over other cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>Ark\u2019s conservative price target for Bitcoin assumes it will capture over 3% of the global money supply outside the major economies of the US, UK, Japan, and Europe.
