Chile has made a hard pivot. In a decisive Dec. 14 runoff, José Antonio Kast, a conservative former congressman and leader of the Republican Party, won the presidency with roughly 58% of the vote over leftist Jeannette Jara.It marks Chile’s starkest rightward shift since the return to democracy. Markets took it as a deregulatory signal: the peso and equities firmed on expectations of looser labor rules, lower corporate taxes, and a law-and-order push aimed at crime and migration pressures that dominated the campaign.Kast’s road to La Moneda ran straight through public anxiety about security and stagnant growth.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said he expects Bitcoin to hit new all-time highs in 2026, while becoming less volatile and less…

JPMorgan rejects trillion-dollar stablecoin forecasts, projecting a US$500–600bn market by 2028 aligned with crypto growth. Most stablecoin expansion remains driven by crypto trading, particularly derivatives and DeFi activity. Payments growth alone is unlikely to push supply higher due to competition from tokenised deposits and CBDCs. JPMorgan has reiterated its position that the stablecoin sector is unlikely to approach a US$1 trillion (AU$1.51 trillion) valuation within the next few years, pushing back against projections that assume rapid decoupling from broader crypto market growth. Instead, the bank expects total supply to reach approximately US$500–600 billion (AU$755–907 billion) by 2028, consistent with earlier…
