Cathie Wood: Investors Are Moving From Gold To Bitcoin As Store Of Value0

Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, believes that investors are beginning to shift from gold to (BTC) following the launch of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

In a recent discussion with chief futurist Brett Winton on ARK Invest’s YouTube channel, Wood stated, “Relative to gold, Bitcoin has been rising. There’s now a substitution into Bitcoin and we think that is going to continue now that there is a less friction-filled way to access Bitcoin.”

Wood drew parallels between Bitcoin and gold, suggesting that both assets could serve as “risk-off assets” during periods of weakness in the banking sector.

She pointed to the March 2023 “regional bank crisis” in the United States, during which Bitcoin’s price surged 40% while the Regional Bank index collapsed.

A recent analysis by Fidelity showed that Bitcoin’s correlation with gold increased in 2023, decoupling from its previously inverse relationship with interest rates despite global rate hikes.

The one-year rolling correlation between Bitcoin and gold currently sits at 0.80, the highest it has ever been.

ARK Invest was one of 10 ETF issuers that launched a spot on January 11, named the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF.

The ETF currently holds over $700 million in Bitcoin, making it one of the largest Bitcoin ETFs in the market.
