BTC prediction<\/a> amid rising threats from stablecoins.<\/p>\n\u201cStablecoins are usurping part of the role that we thought Bitcoin would play,\u201d she said in an interview with CNBC on Thursday, adding, \u201cOur bullish forecast out there is $1.5 million by 2030. Given what\u2019s 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 of that bullish case.\u201d<\/p>\n
She concluded that \u201cStablecoins are scaling much faster than anyone would have expected.\u201d<\/p>\n
This marks a change of tune from the blanket bullishness that Wood has displayed in previous forecasts, with Ark Invest viewing Bitcoin as both a store of value and a payments currency. However, Wood now sees stablecoins doing a better job at fulfilling payments, thereby absorbing some of BTC\u2019s market share.<\/p>\n
In the short term, however, Wood\u2019s revised outlook is unlikely to hamper Bitcoin\u2019s growth. Most of its 2025 price gains have been fueled by ETFs and treasuries, both of which are typically buying BTC as a store of value.<\/p>\n
Provided institutional demand holds and macroeconomic conditions remain stable, Bitcoin\u2019s uptrend should stay intact. Some experts, such as Crypto Gems, suggest that BTC is primed for its next leg up toward $140,000 in the coming weeks, continuing an uptrend that has been ongoing since 2023.<\/p>\n
