On episode LI of "In the Know," (January 5, 2024) ARK CEO/CIO, Cathie Wood, is joined by ARK Director of Digital Assets, Yassine Elmandjra. Together, they discuss ARK's history with Bitcoin, bitcoin spot ETF approval, the upcoming halving, and why we believe bitcoin is both a risk-on and risk-off asset. This month we’re again responding to a few requests by supplementing this episode with charts and data to help illustrate ARK’s perspective on and outlook for the global economy.

As always, Cathie discusses fiscal policy, monetary policy, market signals, economic indicators, and innovation. We hope you find this monthly series useful, especially during periods of heightened volatility. Stay Healthy. Stay Innovative.
