Wood di ARK in merito all’approvazione dell’ETF su Ethereum

ARK Invest CEO, Cathie Wood, recently spoke about the unexpected progress in the approval of key documents for Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETF). 

During the Consensus 2024, Wood emphasized how cryptocurrencies have become a relevant topic in U.S. politics. Wood explained that, initially, the approval of an ETF on Ethereum seemed unlikely. 

Tuttavia, il cambiamento di sentiment attorno al Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) ha suggerito possibili evoluzioni. 

Recently, this act has gained bipartisan support in the House, making cryptocurrency a potential electoral issue. Additionally, former president Trump has announced the acceptance of electoral donations in cryptocurrency, receiving significant attention.

Besides discussing the Ethereum ETF, Wood hinted that the approval of an ETF on Solana would be a big surprise.

Tuttavia, non ha commentato la possibilità di approvazione per fondi focalizzati sulle meme coin, affermando che le principali società di brokeraggio e consulenza per gli investimenti preferiscono le criptovalute più consolidate.

Wood reiterated ARK’s conviction that Bitcoin is a public good and announced that ARK will donate a portion of the revenues from its private fund to support Bitcoin developers. 

Despite the growing popularity of Ethereum, Wood continues to predict that Bitcoin could reach 1.5 million dollars by 2030.
