Os EUA estão perdendo o controle sobre o movimento bitcoin, graças aos reguladores que pressionam as principais empresas do setor a operar em outros países, de acordo com a fundadora da ARK Invest, Cathie Wood.
“It would be nice if the US were leading this movement, but we’re losing it because of our regulatory system,” Wood said last week at the Fortune Most Powerful Next Gen Conference, referring to crypto firms that have begun to shift their operations outside of the US.
That’s largely due to US regulators, Wood said, which have begun to tighten the screws on the crypto industry after the implosion of FTX in late 2022.
She pointed, for instance, to Coinbase, which recently received approval to operate in Bermuda while the firm is being investigated in the US by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Wood also said the collapse of FTX as well as regional lenders like Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank backed up the case for bitcoin.
“The reason it’s adopted is, first of all, many people like the idea of a decentralized, transparent, auditable monetary system. It was born out of the 2008/2009 crisis, when people just lost all trust in financial services,” she said, according to CoinDesk.
“And, very interestingly, it took another two crises within the last year to prove the concept. FTX failed because it was centralized, opaque, and not auditable.”
Wood, for her part, has scooped up large volumes of Coinbase in investment arm, Ark Invest, over the past year. The crypto firm is now the fourth largest holding in Ark’s overall portfolio, with $647 million worth of shares split among its exchange traded funds.
Ela também tem falado muito sobre bitcoin e previu no início deste ano que a criptomoeda poderia subir para US$ 1,5 milhão até 2030 , o que implica um aumento de cerca de 5.500% em relação ao preço atual.
O Bitcoin negociou US$ 26.295 na quinta-feira, tendo se recuperado 59% desde o início do ano. Seu preço ainda está bem abaixo do recorde histórico de US$ 64.000 alcançado no final de 2021.
