Cathie Wood: Bitcoin is better than gold as a hedge asset

Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood statedthat Bitcoin is superior to gold as a hedge asset. In her opinion, the first cryptocurrency allows you to protect your savings from economic uncertainty.

“Last year, during the regional banking crisis in March, Bitcoin rose 40% as the KRE index collapsed. And here again we see how this indicator is “capricious,” and Bitcoin, after a small correction, is growing again,” Wood noted.

Here the CEO of Ark Invest refers to events in early March 2023 in the USA. Then three banks closed within a few days – Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate and Signature Bank.

Wood pointed out that Bitcoin is rising relative to gold. Now that access to the asset has become easier for institutional clients, this trend will only intensify, she believes.

Notably, Wood stated that the KRE index is “acting up.” Earlier, crypto expert Arthur Hayes predicted a new banking crisis in the United States. Against this background, he expects the Bitcoin rate to jump to $1 million.
