Odaily Planet Daily News Ark Investment Management LLC founder and CEO Cathie Wood stated that she welcomes the era of regulatory relaxation following Trump's presidency, especially in terms of technology, cryptocurrency, and digital assets. "The U.S. has almost lost its footing in the cryptocurrency field," Wood said, citing "excessive regulation" and the concerns of outgoing SEC Chairman Gary Gensler regarding the industry. Wood mentioned in a program last Sunday that cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence are among the technological platforms that the U.S. must "seize and harness" to "lead the trend, just as we did in the internet field. A change in the regulatory system, with a focus on cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, will be very meaningful." She also mentioned robotics, energy storage, and multi-omics sequencing. When asked about Trump's threat to impose tariffs on U.S. trading partners, Wood stated that if tariffs can be offset by tax cuts, it "does make some sense." She said that under Trump's second term, the stock market is beginning to anticipate a more diversified return, "In the past four years, we saw a lot of capital concentrated in a few stocks, and I think the market will now expand and reward those companies at the forefront of innovation," which will help small and medium-sized enterprises.
