She added that the prediction is dependent on companies and investors that are diversifying their portfolios by allocating about 5% to BTC:

“We believe that the price will be tenfold of where it is today, so instead of $45,000, over $500,000.”

The finance executive added that if she is going to hold one cryptocurrency, it would be Bitcoin because the countries are seeing it as a legal tender but Ether is also seeing an explosion in development activity.

The decentralized finance space is also interesting and she added that it is also amazing because of its ability to disrupt traditional finance:

“I’m fascinated with what’s going on in DeFi, which is collapsing the cost of the infrastructure for financial services in a way that I know that the traditional financial industry does not appreciate right now.”

She was quite confident that the crypto space will not be regulated to death but stated that no regulator wants to be blamed for stopping teh next major fintech breakthrough.
