Cathie Wood Reveals Shocking Favorite Crypto, and It’s Not Ethereum!

Ah, Cathie Wood, the unrelenting champion of all things crypto, or so she claims. In her most recent musings, the CEO of ARK Invest has made it abundantly clear-while she *acknowledges* Ethereum‘s charm, her undying love is reserved for Bitcoin. Of course, this isn’t exactly news. Cathie has been singing the same Bitcoin hymn for years now, and honestly, she doesn’t seem to be in the mood to change the tune anytime soon.

Bitcoin: The “Pure” Cryptocurrency?

During an appearance on The Master Investor podcast (yes, it’s a thing, and no, it’s not as exciting as it sounds), hosted by Wilfred Frost on YouTube, Wood reaffirmed her belief that Bitcoin is the “pure” cryptocurrency. According to her, it’s the undisputed king of digital currency, the stalwart of the blockchain world that hasn’t been *hacked* yet (take notes, Ethereum). She also has a little *worry* about Ethereum-apparently, its dominance might be slipping away as Layer-2 solutions like Coinbase’s Base start to steal the spotlight. A real David versus Goliath scenario, right?

“In fact, Bitcoin owns the cryptocurrency space when it comes to pure crypto,” Wood boldly declared. “We think it’s going to be the biggest one by far,” she added, apparently with all the certainty of a fortune-teller who never misses.

However, don’t think for a second that Cathie is anti-Ethereum. No, she’s just… mildly indifferent. She has graciously acknowledged Ethereum’s pivotal role in decentralized finance (DeFi). But, as she points out, Ethereum’s future could be in jeopardy if other Layer-2 networks get too cozy in its space. Oh, the drama!

Cathie’s Earlier Crypto Views: A Mixed Bag

As if that weren’t enough, Wood took a moment to show some (gasp!) *appreciation* for Ethereum’s recent pivot to zero-knowledge proof (ZK) scaling techniques. However, as with most things that require more than 3 minutes of attention, she admitted she doesn’t fully *understand* it. But hey, at least the Ethereum Foundation is “proposing the right moves for scalability and privacy”-right?

On the flip side, she’s keeping a close eye on newer players in the crypto game, like Hyperliquid. She seems to think it has some potential, much like Solana did in its early days. Who knew? Cathie Wood might just be a crypto *hipster* after all.

But let’s not sugarcoat it-Cathie is not about to start throwing her trust behind every random token floating around the market. Oh no. She’s got her eyes on the prize: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The Big Three, as she calls them. All others? Well, they’re not quite in the same league.

“Those are the big three right now,” Wood said with all the decisiveness of a seasoned investor. Stablecoins, she notes, are *important*, but they’re not in the same category as her beloved cryptocurrencies. A bit of a sidekick situation, if you ask her.

ARK Invest, for the record, has a cool stash of 43,799 BTC worth a casual $4.91 billion. Cathie has predicted Bitcoin will skyrocket to a mere $1.5 million by 2030. You know, just your average Tuesday prediction. And as for Ethereum, ARK still has some skin in the game, including a partnership with Bitmine Immersion, which is currently on an Ethereum acquisition binge. Go big or go home, right?
