Bitcoin's Path to $1.5M by 2030 | Cathie Wood & Ophelia Snyder

In today's interview, Cathie Wood from ARK Invest and Ophelia Snyder from 21 Shares join Jason to discuss the journey from monetary shock to an innovation-led economic boom. They dive into the importance of wirehouses for crypto adoption, the demand outlook for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, and the likelihood of seeing ETFs for alt coins in the near future. Kathy shares her views on the misallocation of capital post the 2008 financial crisis and why volatility is part of the price paid for exposure to the new asset class of crypto. Ophelia provides insights into running crypto ETFs and the regulatory landscape around getting them approved.
