Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood has trimmed her ultra-bullish Bitcoin price prediction, cutting her 2030 target from $1.5 Mn to $1.2 Mn per coin. Her reason is that stablecoins are eating Bitcoin’s lunch as the preferred currency for payments and remittances. Speaking with CNBC, Wood said her team had underestimated how quickly dollar-pegged assets would dominate the crypto economy. “Stablecoins are usurping part of the role we thought Bitcoin would play,” she said. “They’re serving emerging markets in the way we thought Bitcoin would.” DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 Is Bitcoin Valued Too High?

Ark Invest’s CEO and CIO, Cathie Wood, joined Fox Business’s “Morning With Maria” to discuss her investment strategy as she believes the US is entering a “historic productivity surge,” and why she is bullish on Bitcoin (BTC) for 2026. The Four-Year Cycle Will Be ‘Disrupted’ On Tuesday, Ark Invest’s CEO, Cathie Wood, shared her perspective on the recent Bitcoin performance, which has retraced over 10% in the past month and struggled to reclaim crucial levels over the past few weeks. To Wood, Bitcoin has been behaving like a risk-on asset and is currently “climbing another wall of worry” that has made investors wary of the leading crypto asset’s upcoming performance. As…

Amid this week’s crypto market correction, Ark Invest’s CEO and CIO, Catie Wood, has slashed her 2030 bullish forecast for Bitcoin (BTC), highlighting the global momentum of the stablecoin sector. Stablecoins Overtake Part Of BTC’s Role On Thursday, Ark Invest’s CEO, Cathie Wood, joined CNBC’s “Squawk Box” to discuss Bitcoin’s price, her thoughts on stablecoins’ growth, and how her previous bullish forecast for the flagship crypto has evolved over the past year. In the interview, Wood underscored that the rapid rise of stablecoins is taking on a role she thought BTC would handle, leading to a 20% reduction of her $1.5 million prediction by 2030.

No topic is more contentious in crypto than Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). In just 12 months, the number of countries exploring a central bank digital currency has ballooned from around 35 to at least 81, and likely higher as new data confirms 134 nations are now looking into digital currencies covering 98% of global GDP. Here’s where they’re going next: What Exactly Are CBDCs? Why Central Banks Are Rushing In CBDCs are essentially digital versions of your local cash, issued directly by a country’s central bank. Unlike cryptocurrencies, they carry none of the decentralization magic and are fully under government control. You won’t pay extra service fees, tr…

The crypto market may have added $160Bn onto its market cap overnight as Bitcoin surged back above $92,000. However, trouble is on the horizon for Celestia (TIA) as a key protocol built on its network was shuttered following an $18M raise back in 2024. TIA price predictions are leaning bearish following the news, even though the token has surged by +10% over the past 24 hours. Astria launched in 2023 after raising $5.5M in a seed round led by Maven 11, followed by a $12.5M strategic fundraise in 2024 led by DBA and Placeholder VC. The shutdown of the Astria network is seen as sudden, given that the mainnet only went live a little over a year ago. …

Centerra Gold (TSX: CG)(NYSE: CGAU) said it’s moving ahead with development and construction of its Goldfield project in Nevada after rising gold prices boosted estimated returns.

Toronto-based Centerra is counting on Goldfield – which it predicts will become a “strate…

The takeover battle for Australian copper developer New World Resources (ASX: NWC) is heating up after Central Asia Metals (LON: CAML) raised its offer shortly after Canada’s Kinterra Capital made its bid. In an announcement Friday, the UK-based CAML proposed to increase its offer from A$0.055 per share to A$0.062, giving New World a fully diluted equity value of A$230 million. The offer takes the form of both a court-approved agreement under Australian regulations and an off-market takeover as its alternative. Right before that, CAML bought approximately 253 million shares (equating to 7.1%) of New World at the offer price, and now holds 12.1% of its share capita…

Meanwhile, as the U.S. dollar comes under significant selling pressure, the current head of the U.S. National Economic Council, Kevin Hassett—who may also become the future Fed chair—said that if he is selected, he will take into account the political views of President Donald Trump, but central bank interest rate decisions will remain independent. "The president has very strong and well-grounded views on what we should do," the official said in an interview. "But ultimately, the Fed's job is to be independent and to work with the group of people on the Board of Governors to reach a consensus on what interest rates should be," he said. Hassett's remarks prompted mixed rea…

As Bitcoin prepares for a significant movement that could occur following tomorrow's Federal Reserve meeting—an outcome that may displease many buyers—Argentina is considering allowing domestic banks to trade digital assets and offer cryptocurrency-related services, a move that could accelerate cryptocurrency adoption in the country. The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic recently announced that it is working on changes to its current regulations, which currently prohibit banking institutions from engaging in activities related to digital assets. If implemented, this step would represent a substantial shift in Argentina's approach to cryptocurrencies. Up until now,…

Central banks are usually less agile than hedge funds or asset managers. However, they control enormous reserves of $12 trillion. If they begin diversifying by selling one currency and buying another, the consequences for Forex could be massive. In this regard, the reduction of the U.S. dollar's share in foreign exchange reserves to 56.3%—the lowest level since 1995—has seriously alarmed EUR/USD bears. Could the process of offloading the greenback already be underway? Dynamics of the U.S. Dollar's Share in Central Bank Reserves There are plenty of reasons for concern. The highest tariffs since the 1930s, along with attempts by the White House to undermine the Fed's…

Central banks around the world continue to hold favourable expectations for gold, with most looking to add to their reserves over the coming months and even years, an annual survey by the World Gold Council (WGC) showed. Central banks have been aggressively buying gold, accumulating over 1,000 tonnes in each of the past three years versus an average of 400-500 tonnes in the preceding decade. These purchases coincided with a blistering gold rally during that period, which saw prices nearly doubling from around $1,800/oz. to the $3,400 level currently. This year alone, gold has gained more than 26% and set multiple records, including a new high of $3,500 in mid-Apri…

Yesterday’s (November 18) Cloudflare outage caused billions of dollars in losses as the internet seemingly came to a standstill. The disruption affected many users trying to access X, Truth Social, Reddit, ChatGPT, Coinbase, Ledger, BitMEX, DefiLlama, and many more. Ironically, many of the affected platforms and websites were crypto-related, a sector that promotes decentralization. However, a single cloud hosting protocol going down in Cloudflare subsequently brought the internet to a standstill, highlighting just how centralized much of the World Wide Web still is. The Cloudflare (NET) share price tumbled -1.09% on the day as investors began selling off the stock amid…

Century Aluminum (NASDAQ:CENX) announced Thursday it plans to restart over 50,000MT of idled production at its Mt. Holly smelter in South Carolina. The company said it will invest approximately $50 million in the effort, creating over 100 new jobs and boosting US domestic aluminum production by almost 10%. The restart will enable the plant, currently operating at 75% capacity, to achieve full production by June 30, 2026, a level not seen since 2015. The restart, it said comes as a direct result of President Trump’s application of Section 232 tariffs for primary aluminum, most recently increasing the tariffs to 50% on aluminum imports without exceptions or…

Century Lithium’s (TSXV: LCE) estimated $3.1 billion Angel Island project in Nevada has been given transparency status by the US Federal Permitting Council on its fast-track approval list.
