Cathie Wood: Bitcoin is "undoubtedly" superior to gold

According to market news, Ark Invest founder Cathie Wood reiterated her strong confidence in Bitcoin during an interview with Bloomberg, stating that it is "undoubtedly" superior to gold. She believes that Bitcoin serves as a hedge against both inflation and deflation, and its digital properties give it a structural advantage in the modern financial system, while the demand pattern for gold has matured.

Wood pointed out that Bitcoin is still in the early stages of institutional and retail adoption, with institutional exposure still developing, and younger investors increasingly favoring digital assets over physical gold. She believes that Bitcoin represents a generational shift in value storage investment. Despite Wood's optimism, market data shows that Bitcoin has fallen 27.7% this year to $63,269, while gold has risen 19% to $5,180 per ounce, indicating that traditional safe-haven assets have performed better in the short term. Wood emphasized the importance of focusing on structural adoption trends rather than short-term price fluctuations.
