Prominent investor and ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood has once again stirred debate around the U.S. national crypto strategy. Speaking on the Bitcoin Brainstorm podcast, she said the United States should start directly purchasing Bitcoin to build a national digital reserve. According to Wood, it&39;s hi

Ark Invest (ARK Invest) recently released a 2026 outlook video, featuring multiple speakers including founder Cathie Wood, who unanimously agree that Bitcoin is gradually moving out of the past narrative centered on price volatility. Future development will focus on three main aspects: whether policies will see substantial easing, whether the financial system can accelerate integration, and whether practical use cases are beginning to become part of daily life. The speakers generally believe that 2026 will be a critical year for determining whether Bitcoin can be officially incorporated into the institutional framework. The four-year cycle is still ongoing. Will there be structural convergence in retracement amplitudes? Wood pointed out that the market is still testing whether the "four-year cycle" will continue to dominate Bitcoin's trend, but the focus for 2026 is not on whether there will be a correction, but on whether the retracement amplitude can significantly converge. She stated that if the retracement amplitude can decrease from the commonly seen 50%–70%, then

ARK Invest founder and "female stock goddess" Cathie Wood made a major prediction in a recent podcast: to avoid becoming a "lame duck" president and to consolidate her political legacy, the Trump administration is very likely to directly purchase Bitcoin from the market to bolster the national Bitcoin strategic reserve established early in her term. Wood revealed that the initial goal of this reserve is to accumulate 1 million Bitcoins, currently only offset by confiscated assets, with plans to shift towards active purchases in the future. Additionally, she expects the government to promote the implementation of De Minimis tax exemption policies for small cryptocurrency transactions and to continue an active legislative agenda for the industry. These remarks reveal that crypto policy has become a core political and economic issue in the United States, and its developments will have far-reaching impacts on global capital allocation and regulatory frameworks.

ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood revealed on the "Bitcoin Brainstorm" podcast that the U.S. government may start directly purchasing Bitcoin to bolster the national strategic reserve, rather than relying solely on law enforcement confiscations. Currently, the reserve established by the Trump administration order only includes confiscated BTC, but the initial target of 1 million Bitcoins far exceeds the current holdings. If the vote on January 22nd passes, the government will step in to buy up the market.

Ark Investment (ARK Invest) Digital Asset Research Director Lorenzo Valente stated in a recent video that stablecoins have entered a development stage vastly different from the past. From transaction volume scale and institutionalization to their linkage with the U.S. bond system, the positioning of stablecoins is no longer just an extension of annual performance but is beginning to be incorporated into the core discussions of the global financial architecture in 2026. Transaction volume continues to expand steadily, and structural growth trends are taking shape Valente indicated that by the end of 2025, the monthly transfer volume of stablecoins has stabilized at 2 – 2.5 trillion USD, with no significant decline since the beginning of the year. He pointed out that this continued expansion of monthly scale, despite a high baseline, demonstrates that stablecoins have entered a phase of structural growth rather than short-term cycles. Against this backdrop, market focus has shifted from "whether it surpasses Visa" to stable

The Eternal Protocol collapsed just two days ago, and a similar model, the LAF protocol, has also declared its collapse in a virtual money scam. The coin price has fallen to single digits, with the pool emptied to just a few million, and within a short span of about 10 days, it has siphoned off tens of millions of USDT, leaving countless participants with nothing. This scheme promises an investment of 1000 USDT with a daily interest of 1.5%, a 30-day cycle, and an annual percentage rate as high as 547.5%, but in reality, it is just a Ponzi scheme.

Ark Invest has acquired 17,386 shares of Coinbase, valued at approximately $4.2 million, distributing this investment across three of its ETFs. This follows a previous purchase of $16.3 million in COIN, highlighting Ark's strategy of portfolio rebalancing amid market volatility.

Amid the decline in the Crypto market, Ark Invest once again demonstrates its buy-the-dip strategy, investing over $55 million to increase holdings in Crypto concept stocks such as BitMine, Coinbase, and Circle. Although the stocks purchased declined on the same day, Cathie Wood still believes that market volatility is a short-term phenomenon and the long-term trend remains unchanged.

The narrative of Bitcoin's classic "four-year halving cycle" is facing unprecedented challenges. Recently, influential analysts such as Markus Thielen, Head of 10x Research, Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, and Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, have spoken out, believing that the core driving forces behind the cycle have undergone a fundamental shift. They point out that with the advent of spot ETFs bringing in massive institutional funds, Bitcoin's market structure has been completely transformed. Its price volatility is now more closely tied to global liquidity, the US election cycle, and macroeconomic policies rather than solely to supply halving events. This ongoing debate about whether the "cycle is dead" marks Bitcoin's shift from an exclusively tech-driven scarcity experiment to an accelerated integration into the pricing logic of global macro assets.

Bloomberg reports that Tether is considering raising up to $20 billion through stock sales and tokenization of shares. The company previously intervened to prevent some existing shareholders from selling shares at low prices and is exploring ways to ensure investor liquidity while maintaining a company valuation of $500 billion. Tether seeks $20 billion in funding; SoftBank and Ark may invest By the end of September, it was reported that Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer, was in talks with investors to raise up to $20 billion, with SoftBank Group (SoftBank) and Ark Investment Management (Ark Investment Management) potentially among the major investors in this round of funding. The support of these two investment giants could help Tether accelerate growth and gain more mainstream recognition in the tech and financial sectors.

Ark Invest CEO "Wood姐" Cathie Wood stated that the four-year cycle of Bitcoin may no longer define the long-term behavior of the asset. She believes that institutional adoption is reshaping volatility, making the early days' pattern of sharp declines in Bitcoin increasingly uncommon.

Wood姐 affirmed that the market may have already seen the bottom a few weeks ago, and future pullbacks might be only 30% to 50%.

Daily market key data review and trend analysis, produced by PANews. 1. Market observation In a complex macroeconomic environment, the Fed's policy decision this week has become the focus of the market. The market generally expects the Fed to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, with a probability of 88.6% to 95%, but Bank of America and other institutions believe that given the structural cooling of the labor market with "low hiring, low turnover, and rising layoffs", the Fed may send a "hawkish rate cut" signal, that is, cut interest rates but hint at the possibility of future policy tightening. This uncertainty has led to fluctuations in U.S. Treasury yields, while Goldman Sachs has warned of early signs of a recession through indicators such as Las Vegas consumption data. In the commodity market, spot silver performed well, breaking through $60 per ounce for the first time to hit a record high, with an increase of more than 100% during the year, significantly outperforming gold, and the gold-silver ratio fell to its lowest level since 2021.

ARK Invest founder, known as "Wood Sister" Cathie Wood, stated in her latest macroeconomic analysis that the United States is gradually moving from nearly three years of rolling recessions toward recovery. With the reversal of the interest rate environment, a rebound in liquidity, increased productivity, and a simultaneous initiation of corporate capital expenditures, multiple forces are converging into a new economic cycle. She believes that 2026 is likely to be a pivotal year for a comprehensive economic and market turnaround, and she expressed her anticipation for everyone to have a very pleasant 2026. Policy Shifts to Easing, Economic Foundation for 2026 Begins to Take Shape Wood stated that both U.S. fiscal and monetary policies are turning toward easing. The Fed has gradually softened its previously tough stance, and the market expects a high probability of a rate cut in December, signaling that the high interest rate cycle is coming to an end. She pointed out that the combination of rate cuts and tax relief will gradually release liquidity, and these effects will require time to accumulate.
