Bitcoin's potential to reshape global finance is gaining attention, with analyst Willy Woo suggesting that competition among nations could play a key role in driving its value upward.
Speaking to Natalie Brunell, Woo reflected on how MicroStrategy’s decision to hold Bitcoin in its reserves sparked a wave of corporate interest during the previous market cycle.
He now envisions a different dynamic unfolding—sovereign wealth funds from various nations may follow the example of pioneers like El Salvador and Bhutan, creating a ripple effect that grows with each step.
Woo also pointed to a significant shift in institutional attitudes, highlighting BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s public support for Bitcoin as a pivotal moment.
He noted that where once asset managers hesitated to endorse Bitcoin due to career risks, they are now not only advocating for it but also entertaining the idea of it becoming a global reserve currency.
This evolution, he suggests, reflects the growing confidence in Bitcoin’s role within the financial landscape.
Ethereum’s blockchain underwent a significant shift on September 15, 2022, moving from a proof-of-work (PoW) security model to proof-of-stake (PoS).
Bitcoin’s dominance in the cryptocurrency market has been steadily climbing, now reaching 58.8%, up significantly from 51% in December.
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have marked their tenth consecutive day of net inflows, reaching the longest positive streak since December 2024.
A well-known analyst who accurately predicted Bitcoin’s pre-halving pullback last year is still optimistic about BTC’s potential for a major upward move, despite recent price corrections.
