ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood has pointed to Bitcoin’s continued outperformance against gold as a sign that markets are entering a “risk-on” phase.
In a recent YouTube update, Wood shared a chart showing the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio in a sustained uptrend, underscoring Bitcoin’s resilience amid market volatility.
“This uptrend has not been broken. Again, this aligns with the net bullish risk-on kind of market that we think we’re in, and I guess you could call the markets anti-fragile, which is a description used in Bitcoin. It’s been able to withstand all kinds of turmoil and we think that the markets, the equities markets, are following Bitcoin in this regard,”
said Wood.
Wood attributed Bitcoin’s robust performance to its “anti-fragile” nature, noting that the asset has weathered multiple market disruptions over the past few years. She suggested that equity markets are mirroring Bitcoin’s resilience, further supporting a bullish outlook for risk assets.
The ARK Invest CEO also expressed optimism about the broader crypto sector, citing recent regulatory clarity from the Trump administration. She believes this clarity is paving the way for significant changes in the financial services industry, with firms like Circle, Coinbase, Robinhood, and SoFi expanding their cryptocurrency operations.
“We think this is a very powerful movement. We think the financial services sector is going to reconfigure completely in the next five to ten years, and that of course Bitcoin and now Circle and of course Coinbase as well. Robinhood, [and] others… SoFi is now moving back into crypto in a big way now that regulatory clarity is here. So, thank goodness for that,”
Wood added.
The remarks come as Bitcoin continues to trade near its all-time highs, outperforming traditional safe-haven assets like gold. Industry analysts note that increased institutional adoption and clearer regulations are contributing to this momentum.
As the digital asset sector evolves, market participants are closely watching how regulatory developments and institutional activity will shape the next phase of growth.
