The purchases by ARK likely represent an attempt to capitalize on low prices after the recent slump in crypto markets partially due to Evergrande’s debt crisis in China. The addition of these shares also shows a continued belief in the crypto market for the time being, even after it has shown some signs of weakening.
Cathie Wood and ARK Invest have continuously doubled down on their belief that cryptocurrency and its various industry participants are the future. Just last week Cathie Wood gave a potential valuation for Bitcoin at over $500,000 during the Salt Conference in New York and said that her team believes the asset will be ten-fold where it is today.
“If we’re right and companies continue to diversify their cash into something like Bitcoin and institutional investors start allocating 5% of their funds towards Bitcoin, we believe that the price will be ten-fold where it is today,” said Wood.
