Cathie Wood Predicts Disruption in Bitcoin’s Four-Year Cycle
- Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood believes the traditional Bitcoin halving cycle will be disrupted due to increased institutional investment.
- Wood argues that Bitcoin’s volatility has decreased and it now acts more as a “risk-on asset.”
- Standard Chartered supports this view, suggesting ETF buying diminishes the halving cycle’s relevance.
- The recent Bitcoin halving on April 20, reduced block rewards to 3.125 bitcoins.
- Standard Chartered lowered its Bitcoin price target for 2025 from $200,000 to $100,000.
Cathie Wood and Standard Chartered both see institutional involvement and ETF buying as factors disrupting Bitcoin’s four-year cycle, historically driven by halvings that reduce supply and trigger bull runs.
This shift suggests a new dynamic where Bitcoin is less volatile and more aligned with broader economic trends, challenging traditional price movement expectations based on halving cycles alone. Source
