I had an opportunity to sit down last week with Cathie Wood at Bitcoin ETF application with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Wood, the firm's CEO and founder, says the timing of the filing, which came after the SEC rejected earlier such bids by ARK and similar firms, could put her company in position to launch the first spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S.—and gain a significant first-mover advantage in a new market.
During our conversation, Wood shared her views on the broader potential of Bitcoin, the challenges of navigating the regulatory landscape, and her vision for the future of digital assets.
