According to Odaily Planet Daily, Cathie Wood, founder of Ark Invest, stated in a recent interview that Bitcoin has entered a mature stage, and the historically common 85%–95% plunges may be a thing of the past. She pointed out that even if a future retracement reaches 50%, it will be considered a "significant step forward" within the Bitcoin community, as she believes Bitcoin has grown from an emerging technology into a "mature monetary system and asset class." In a previous cycle, Bitcoin fell nearly 80% from its 2021 high of approximately $69,000, hitting a low of $15,600. According to on-chain data platform Glassnode, the maximum retracement in this bear market is approximately 52% (based on the October 2025 high of $126,200), which has not yet reached the historical average.
