Cathie Wood Revises Bitcoin Price Target Downwards, Cites Stablecoin Impact

Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, has lowered her long-term Bitcoin price forecast by $300,000, warning that stablecoins are increasingly challenging Bitcoin's role as a store of value in emerging economies.

Stablecoins Eroding Bitcoin's Market Share

"Stablecoins are usurping part of the role that we thought Bitcoin would play," Wood told CNBC on Thursday. She had previously predicted Bitcoin could reach $1.5 million by 2030. "Given what's happening to stablecoins, which are serving emerging markets in a way that we thought Bitcoin would, I think we could take maybe $300,000 off that bullish case, just for stablecoins. Stablecoins are scaling here, I think, much faster than anyone would have expected."

Continued Bullish Outlook on Bitcoin

Despite the revised price target, Wood emphasized her continued bullishness on Bitcoin (BTC) overall, describing it as a "global monetary system" that acts as a store-of-value asset similar to gold but distinct from stablecoins, which are simply tokenized cash on a blockchain.

Emerging Markets Embrace Stablecoins

According to Standard Chartered, a leading international bank, US dollar-pegged stablecoins could divert over $1 trillion from traditional banking systems in emerging markets by 2028. This trend is particularly evident in regions grappling with hyperinflation, sanctions, or currency controls, such as Venezuela and Argentina, where individuals are turning to alternative fiat currencies like the US dollar to preserve their purchasing power.

Venezuela: A Case Study

The annual inflation rate of the Venezuelan Bolivar surged to 269% in 2025, according to data from the International Monetary Fund, prompting millions of residents to adopt dollar-backed stablecoins like Tether’s USDt (USDT) as a savings vehicle. Stringent currency controls and a dual-currency exchange system in Venezuela have further propelled the adoption of stablecoins as a reliable alternative to physical dollars or US dollar deposits in banks. Reports in 2024 indicated that the Venezuelan government was using stablecoins to circumvent US sanctions and facilitate international oil trade.
