On January 15, 2026, Christopher Wood rocked the Bitcoin boat with his weekly GREED & fear report. As the Global Head of Equity Strategy at Jefferies, Wood eliminated 10% Bitcoin allocation from his outlook, diverting it to 5% gold and 5% gold-mining stocks instead.

Standard Chartered warned of a $500 billion deposit flight from traditional banks to stablecoins by 2028, specifically threatening the profit margins of US regional lenders. A legal loophole in the 2025 GENIUS Act is the main battleground, as banks lobby to stop third-party exchanges from paying the high yields that are luring customers away. Executives from Visa and Mastercard have said this week that stablecoins basically have no demand apart from trading. Despite the payment giants’…
