The election of Donald Trump will usher in a wave of private-company purchases that had previously been slowed by red tape, investor Cathie Wood said in an interview in which she also reiterated her ultra-bullish view on Bitcoin.

Wood, the founder of ARK Investment Management LLC, said changes at the Federal Trade Commission will unlock latent merger-and-acquisition demand and create “liquidity events” for venture capitalists.
