ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood: AI-driven commerce will create major opportunities for Bitcoin and stablecoins
ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood said that the widespread spread of artificial intelligence-driven commerce may bring important opportunities to Bitcoin and stablecoins. Wood specifically pointed out that Bitcoin and stablecoins are the two digital assets most likely to benefit from this new business model known as "agent commerce"-in which AI agents can complete purchases, payments and financial transactions without human intervention.
In his latest assessment, Wood said that the value of Bitcoin is stabilizing again compared to gold. He believes that the increasingly important role of artificial intelligence agents in economic activities may increase the need for fast, programmable payment methods. In this context, Bitcoin, especially stablecoins, is expected to become a digital financial instrument that can be used globally.
The ARK Invest executive also evaluated the latest data on the U.S. economy. Wood noted that last week's jobs data was not as weak as expected, but she believes risks to the inflation outlook have shifted. According to Wood, under current conditions, the risk of deflation may already outweigh the risk of inflation.
Wood also pointed out that artificial intelligence technology is becoming increasingly critical to enterprises. She said companies that delay adopting productivity-improving AI tools may face greater risks in the future, emphasizing that technology investment will play a decisive role in competitiveness.
Wood also shared his macroeconomic expectations, predicting that the DXY index, which measures the value of the U.S. dollar against major currencies, could rise to 102.6 this year. However, she pointed out that oil prices could fall significantly.
Wood's assessment points to an era where artificial intelligence and digital finance are increasingly converging. As AI agents have the capabilities of payments, asset transfers, and financial decision execution, the demand for blockchain systems in addition to traditional banking infrastructure is expected to increase.
