Cathie Wood Calls $Btc'S 50% Crash A "Victory" As Era Of 85% Collapses Ends

ARK Invest CEO @CathieDWood says Bitcoin's ~50% drawdown from its $126,200 ATH marks a structural shift. "Down 50%, if that's as far as it goes, they'll consider that a real victory," she stated in a CNBC interview. "The 85-95% collapses associated with a very new technology, that's done."

Wood argues institutional adoption has permanently changed Bitcoin's volatility profile, calling it "a proven technology, a proven monetary system, and a new asset class." ARK maintains its $1.2 million 2030 bull case target.

Glassnode confirms the current cycle's max drawdown at 52%, well below the ~80% typical of prior bear markets. Not everyone agrees. Analyst Tony Severino predicts a 72% decline targeting $34K.
