ARK Invest's Cathie Wood Says Bitcoin (BTC) Still Has a 'Long Way to Go' Despite Hitting $90K ATH

She pointed out that Ark was the first public asset manager to gain exposure to Bitcoin in 2015 at $250, "and we still at $90,000 think we have a long way to go," she said in an interview on CNBC's Squawk Box on Nov. 15.

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood says Bitcoin ( BTC ) still has a “long way to go” despite recently hitting a new all-time high above $90,000.

She highlighted that Ark was the first public asset manager to get exposure to Bitcoin in 2015 at $250, “and we still at $90,000 think we have a long way to go,” she said in an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Nov. 15.

Wood went on to explain that the continuing momentum would be driven by “regulatory relief” which was one of the most important things coming out of the new administration.

We’re looking at Bitcoin BTC $90,730 now being seen as a new asset class, she said before adding that it is “not just a global monetary system, it is a new asset class and what that means is institutions, and asset allocators are saying ‘this asset is behaving differently from all our other assets and we need to include it.’”

Wood also reiterated her large price prediction over the next five years stating:
