Crypto investment company Ark Invest founder Cathie Wood has dumped all of the firm’s holdings of PayPal and showed greater confidence in the long-term growth of the Cash App payment system which uses the Bitcoin (BTC) Lightning Network. Wood explained her firm’s move at the Miami Bitcoin 2022 conference which wrapped up on Saturday. The Lightning Network (LN) is a layer-2 solution for Bitcoin meant to facilitate faster and cheaper transactions.
