As stablecoins see notable growth and take over part of the top cryptocurrency\u2019s role in the market, Wood is trimming her forecast and now expects the BTC price to hit $1.2 million by 2030, down from her initial prediction of $1.5 million. <\/p>\n<p>Assets such as Tether\u2019s USDT and Circle\u2019s USDC continue to see widespread global adoption, and Wood points to increased adoption in emerging markets as key. Stablecoins being used for payments and savings is a flip to the previous thesis of this being an area BTC would have a prominent role. <\/p>\n<p>Wood\u2019s move to trim her forecast for BTC price by 2030 comes on the back of a notable dip for the \u201cdigital gold\u201d asset. After hitting an all-time high of $126,000 in October, the cryptocurrency has languished under $92,000. <\/p>\n<p>Ethereum, meanwhile, is currently trading at around $3,125.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, remains bullish on cryptocurrency \u2014 especially Ethereum.
