PANews January 16 News, according to Cryptobriefing, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood stated in the 2026 outlook that Bitcoin, due to its low correlation with major asset classes such as gold, stocks, and bonds, is expected to provide higher risk-adjusted returns for asset allocators and become an effective portfolio diversification tool in the coming years. ARK’s analysis of weekly returns from January 2020 to early January 2026 shows that the correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and gold is only 0.14, significantly lower than the 0.27 correlation coefficient between the S&P 500 and bonds. The correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and bonds is the lowest at 0.06, while its correlation with the S&P 500 is the highest at 0.28, but still far below the correlations among traditional asset classes.
Wood believes that Bitcoin’s protocol strictly limits its supply growth, with the new issuance rate expected to grow at about 0.8% annually over the next two years, then slow down to approximately 0.4% per year. This mathematically fixed supply makes it inherently scarce. She pointed out that the predictable supply pattern, combined with increasing demand, has driven Bitcoin’s price up by 360% since the end of 2022.
