Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, remains positive on Bitcoin despite the collapse of FTX, claiming that the Bitcoin blockchain continues to run normally.

“I believe what we’ve learned as a result of FTX is how much more crucial completely transparent decentralized networks will become in the future for financial services… The networks FTX, Celsius, and 3AC were all shut down. Opaque systems. “You could not see what was happening…” Even during crypto crises, she believes that the DeFi industry’s openness will always be its saving grace.
