The world, it seems, has been seduced by stablecoins, those paragons of predictability in a sea of volatility. Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood, with the solemnity of a man who once believed in the divine right of gold, now admits that stablecoins have stolen a page from bitcoin’s playbook. “Stablecoins,” she declared, “are playing a role we once thought belonged solely to bitcoin.” And so, with a sigh worthy of a Tolstoyan protagonist, she adjusted her 2030 price target from $1.5 million to $1.2 million-a mere $300,000, yet a chasm in the realm of speculation. 🤷♂️
