In line with many expert opinions, Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood has voiced alarm on a potential recession in the United States. Wood’s warning, especially given her usual bullish stance, has caused ripples in the crypto industry. As the recession fears mount, experts remain pessimistic about the crypto market’s reaction, with many expecting high volatility and unpredictable price swings.
Significantly, President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement has caused a stir in the US economy, with the traditional financial market falling to severe lows. Corroborating expert predictions, Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood, who has been known for her optimistic long-term forecasts, has cautioned against the impending economic disaster.
Wood believes the administration is underestimating the economic impact of these policies, which could lead to a downturn. She cites the velocity of money slowing dramatically as a sign that consumers and businesses are spending and investing less.
According to Cathie Wood, a challenging economic period is ahead. She believes that the first half of 2025 is poised to experience major downturns.
Wood stated that President Trump wants a booming economy and stock market ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. However, she added that the current economic situation will lead to negative GDP growth in the first two quarters due to a “three-year rolling recession.”
Another expert who has been long warning against an impending recession was Robert Kiyosaki, the author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad.” In his recent statement, Kiyosaki asserted that the worst crash has begun, with the US Dollar poised for a devaluation.
Notably, Cathie Wood expects the economic recession to prompt the administration and the Fed to adopt looser monetary policies. She notes that the government entering its first recession in 30 years will give policymakers more room to stimulate the economy.
It is noteworthy that the recession predictions come on the heels of the stock market’s recent collapse. As per Wood, potential measures could include tax cuts, deregulation, and lower interest rates to mitigate the economic downturn.
Expert predictions note that the crypto market’s reaction to the US recession would likely be marked by increased volatility. Bitcoin’s strong correlation to traditional assets like stocks also hint at BTC and other cryptocurrencies’ price fluctuations.
However, Robert Kiyosaki urges investors to invest in BTC, gold, and silver to hedge against the imminent financial crisis.
