Cathie Wood, founder and CEO of ARK Invest, reiterated a bold forecast that Bitcoin could reach $1.5 million by 2030.

According to a recent webinar, she argued that the current downturn is a pause rather than the end of the cycle and said Bitcoin is only halfway through its four-year rhythm. Her stance comes as market swings have erased large sums and pushed out many investors.

Liquidity Flows And Fed Timing

Reports have disclosed that roughly $70 billion has already returned to financial markets since a brief US government funding gap ended, and ARK estimates as much as $300 billion could follow as the Treasury General Account is refilled.

Wood tied that potential return of cash to moves in central bank policy, noting that the Federal Reserve is expected to end its quantitative tightening program on December 1. She said that easing liquidity could lift both Bitcoin and stocks tied to artificial intelligence.

In this recent webinar, I discuss why the liquidity squeeze that has hit #AI and #crypto will reverse in the next few weeks, something the markets seemed to buy, and why AI is not in a bubble. The 123% increase noted below was in Palantir’s US commercial business last qtr.

Palantir’s US commercial revenue was highlighted during the talk, with a reported 123% increase last quarter used as an example of real business gains backing some market bets. Based on reports, Wood rejects the idea that gains in the AI sector are purely speculative, and she expects renewed money flows to help risk assets rebound.

Stablecoins And Gold In Play

According to ARK analysts, stablecoins have captured some of the transactional demand that once favored Bitcoin. At the same time, gold has shown solid returns this year, which the team says offsets part of the shift away from crypto for certain uses. That mix, they argue, changes how capital might move when liquidity returns.

Broader Bullish Views From Market Names

Several well-known investors continue to project high price targets for Bitcoin. According to public statements, Tom Lee of Fundstrat has said Bitcoin could hit $250,000 by 2025, pointing to supply limits and demand patterns.

Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya has floated targets in the range of $500,000 to $1,000,000, citing Bitcoin as a shelter in turbulent times.

Raoul Pal, the former Wall Street executive and founder of Real Vision, has also advocated for similar six-figure ranges driven by adoption and institutional interest. These voices are included to show the range of long-term expectations among prominent market watchers.

Cathie Wood thinks that Bitcoin could reach $1.5 million by 2030, while arguing the current dip is temporary and that the cycle has more to run. Returning liquidity and growing adoption could drive prices sharply higher, according to ARK Invest’s analysis.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
