Cathie Wood Bullish on Coinbase and Bitcoin
Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood remains bullish on Bitcoin, reiterating her $1 million target price by 2030. She said US SEC lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase are different from each other. Coinbase lawsuit is only related to their staking service and some crypto that the SEC considered as securities.
Moreover, she believes Binance’s regulatory challenges in the US will benefit Coinbase. However, Coinbase has failed to capitalize on the FTX fallout, with trading volume dropping in the US crypto market.
