Reports note ARK’s valuation work and scenarios that place Bitcoin far above current prices by 2030 under certain adoption assumptions. Those forecasts are not promises. They are models with many moving parts.
Gold And The Debasement TradeReports say ARK’s research director compared gold’s market value to the US M2 money supply and found readings at a level not seen since the 1930s and around the same era as 1980.
That kind of extreme has historically preceded a big reversal in gold’s price. Some traders remember a 60% drop after the 1980 peak. Those are facts that deserve a second look. They do not translate directly into a prediction for Bitcoin, though.
Bitcoin fell to $78,150 at the time this report was made. The top crypto asset hit a level many traders watch closely after a flash crash last October. It is now more than 35% under the peak it reached on Oct. 6, 2025, and volatility is high.
Different Roles, Different Clocks: ARK’s View On Bitcoin And GoldOverall, ARK’s stance remains consistent. Reports show the firm still views Bitcoin as a long-term asset tied to adoption and network growth, even during sharp drawdowns.
Gold, in contrast, is being watched for signs of exhaustion after an extreme run tied to money supply fears. In ARK’s view, the two assets play different roles, move on different clocks, and should not be judged by short-term price action alone.
