Ark Invest founder, CEO, and CIO Cathie Wood has estimated that President-elect Donald Trump will turbocharge the U.S. economy with new policies. According to the portfolio manager, the imminent U.S. economic growth under Trump’s leadership will outpace the growth witnessed during the Reagan Revolution. 

Cathie Wood believes Trump’s administration will foster innovation and development in technology, with the main beneficiaries being the healthcare industry, the autonomous mobility sector, and the digital currency ecosystem.

Cathie Wood believes Trump’s administration will foster economic growth

In a video posted by Ark Invest, Cathie Wood shared her opinion and personal experiences from the early days of her career. Wood said there are many similarities between the U.S. economy during Trump’s incoming administration and the Reagan Revolution. Wood believes Trump’s proposal to introduce tariffs to international U.S. partners in exchange for lowering taxes for consumers and businesses will be good for the economy. 

The CEO also believes that the Trump administration will see interest rates drop and explosive productivity growth. Wood believes sectors such as robotics, energy storage, healthcare, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology are converging and will most likely unlock explosive GDP growth and lower-than-expected inflation.

According to Cathie Wood, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), under Chair Gary Gensler’s leadership, has hindered the growth of crypto and the digital asset space. As a result, the U.S. has lost a lot of talent to other countries.

Wood also referenced Elon Musk’s role in reducing government spending through technology in the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) as an economic growth catalyst. 

Cathie Wood says crypto is one of the biggest opportunities for investors

The portfolio manager also said that government policies have impeded a lot of innovation after the internet revolution, although the “seeds” are flourishing behind the scenes. 

Wood emphasized that Trump’s administration will foster growth and innovation, with the biggest opportunities occurring in autonomous mobility, healthcare, and cryptocurrencies.

Cathie Wood also noted that Bitcoin is part of Trump’s administration plans, which include building a strategic BTC reserve. Wood also mentioned that the U.S. SEC almost made the country miss out on the next big wave of the internet, but Trump’s administration will bring the innovation home.

Wood’s ARK funds have experienced a big surge since Trump won the elections. In the last few days, ARK Invest’s fund, ARK Innovation, has outperformed the S&P 500 with a 15.93% gain compared to the index’s 4.66%.

Bitcoin’s recent performance has been outstanding. The asset has made a new all-time high of $81,751 and is up 17% in the last seven days. Bitcoin’s performance has caused a ripple effect in the entire crypto industry, with memecoins leading the sector with double-digit seven-day gains. 

Dogecoin, for instance, is up 86% in the past seven days following a 22% surge in the last 24 hours. On the other hand, Shiba Inu has outperformed Tron, claiming the tenth position on CoinMarketCap’s top ten list of the largest crypto projects by market capitalization. Shiba Inu is up 8.49% and has registered a 50% gain in the last seven days.

Silver breaks $64 as precious metals rebound — can gold hold the $4,280 line into the Fed decision?Silver has climbed back above $64 an ounce for the first time this week, leading a broad rebound across precious metals hours before the Federal Reserve delivers what is expected to be its first rate hike since 2023. Spot silver was last at $64.64, up 1.49% on the day, while gold reclaimed $4,300 and platinum and palladium both advanced. The question now is whether the bounce is a genuine turn — or a pause before the Fed's dot plot decides the next move.
