Bitcoin\u2019s global adoption is entering a new phase, fueled by political support, record prices, and shifting national strategies. <\/p>\n
With Bitcoin [BTC]<\/a> recently hitting an all-time high of $124,500 and growing momentum from a pro-crypto administration in the United States, more countries are now preparing to embrace the asset as part of their financial systems.<\/p>\n Samson Mow on Bitcoin adoption<\/p>\n Thanks to these factors, Jan3 founder Samson Mow believes the world is moving from the \u201cgradually\u201d stage into the \u201csuddenly\u201d stage of adoption, with the exec claiming that strategic Bitcoin reserves could become a reality much sooner than expected.<\/p>\n In a recent podcast with Danny Knowles, Mow noted<\/a>,<\/p>\n \u201cI think it is simply a matter of time before we see a massive run-up, and we see a massive nation-state FOMO, you know, panic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mow also highlighted that while President Trump has already signed an executive order to create a U.S Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the government is yet to begin its actual purchases. Still, he noted that progress is underway through budget-neutral acquisition plans and the proposed Bitcoin Act. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, press time data from Bitbo showed<\/a> that the United States holds 198,012 BTC. However, Mow believes the most aggressive adoption will come from Latin America \u2013 A region he remains highly optimistic about. <\/p>\n Worth noting, however, that he also acknowledged that Bitcoin\u2019s price performance hasn\u2019t unfolded as many anticipated in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cathie Wood is confident too!<\/p>\n Echoing broader skepticism around altcoins, ARK Invest\u2019s Cathie Wood recently reiterated<\/a> on the Master Investor podcast that Bitcoin will likely remain the dominant cryptocurrency, with few others surviving long term.<\/p>\n Wood said,<\/p>\n \u201cBitcoin owns the cryptocurrency space when it comes to pure crypto. Bitcoin is the cryptocurrency. We think it\u2019s going to be the biggest one by far. By far.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In fact, she even distinguished between \u201ccryptocurrencies\u201d and \u201ccrypto assets.\u201d In doing so, she positioned Bitcoin as a rules-based monetary system capped at 21 million coins, with nearly 20 million already mined. <\/p>\n Wood described stablecoins<\/a> like Tether and Circle\u2019s USDC as dollar-linked tools driving DeFi by enabling yields, noting Tether\u2019s dominance outside the U.S and Circle\u2019s stronger regulatory footing. <\/p>\n While recognizing Ethereum\u2019s role in DeFi, she also cautioned about rising Layer 2 competition. This, despite the fact that\u00a0ARK Invest maintains exposure to Ether, Solana, and newer players like Hyperliquid.<\/p>\n Remarking on the same, Wood said,<\/p>\n \u201cHyperliquid is the new kid on the block, and we\u2019re waiting to see how that all plays out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n What\u2019s ahead for Bitcoin?<\/p>\n On the price charts, Bitcoin\u2019s latest retreat erased September\u2019s gains, with the crypto slipping<\/a> to $108k \u2013 Down 7% from the month\u2019s high of $117.9k and nearly 12% off its all-time peak of $124.4k. <\/p>\n As expected, some skeptics have renewed \u201ctop\u201d calls after the pullback. On the contrary, Swissblock analysts believe<\/a> BTC\u2019s bullish structure is still intact, and a final leg higher may be possible in Q4. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrevious: Hyperliquid\u2019s Hypurr NFT airdrop backfires \u2013 $400K hack sparks jitters<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n
