Crypto market will grow to $28T by 2030, says ARKInvest
ARK Invest's latest analysis confirms that Bitcoin is still on the rise to reach the $1 million price tag by 2030.
Cathie Wood's ARK Invest predicts that digital assets could grow to a $28 trillion market by 2030, with growth primarily linked to increasing Bitcoin adoption and potential price appreciation.
In its “Big Ideas 2026” report published by ARK on Wednesday, it is estimated that the crypto market will grow at a 61% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to meet its target of 28 trillion dollars by 2030, and Bitcoin may account for 70% of that figure.
In the year Considering that around 20.5 million Bitcoins (BTC) could be produced by 2030, such a scenario could see the price of Bitcoin in the ballpark of $950,000 to $1 million.
“Bitcoin is maturing as a new institutional asset class leader,” said ARK Invest, which sees bitcoin exchange-traded funds and corporate bitcoin holders increase their share of the total supply of bitcoin from 8.7% to 12% by 2025.
Last February, Cathy Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, said Bitcoin could reach $1.5 million in the same timeframe.
The asset manager said growth could come from decentralized finance, stablecoins and increasing real-world assets (RWAs), with advanced smart contract chains such as Ethereum and Solana benefiting the most.
ARK predicts that these modern contract platforms will grow to 6 trillion dollars by 2030 at a 54% CAGR, with an average take rate of 0.75% currently, generating an annual revenue of approximately 192 billion dollars.

However, ARK says that the cryptocurrencies behind these smart contract chains derive their market capitalization from their store of value and asset-backed nature rather than discounted cash flows.
Tokenized RWAs could reach $11 trillion.
ARK suggests that $11 trillion in RWAs will be recorded by 2030, with increased regulatory transparency and improved institutional infrastructure.
According to data from RWA.xyz, $22.25 billion worth of RWAs have been identified onchain, meaning the market will need to grow at a CAGR of 245.8% to meet ARK's target.
