Deep Value Territory
Following the decline of share prices spanning across disruptive tech companies, Cathie Wood has stated that she believes the shares of blockchain firms to be “seemingly in deep value territory.” She tweeted:
Thank you @freshjiva. Stocks sold off after the tech/telecom bubble because the "dream" would not become reality for 20-25 years. Genomic sequencing, adaptive robotics, energy storage, AI, and blockchain technology are realities, their stocks seemingly in deep value territory. https://t.co/RyhWF8hLLI
