Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on April 5, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 6% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published January 5, 2026
Bank of America got attention after telling clients to hold a small digital-asset slice and starting coverage of spot Bitcoin ETFs. That could lead to more activity from wealth and trading clients. It is not a fast, volatile winner; instead it may slowly climb over the next 0-3 months if investors shift toward value stocks. Big news about interest rates or lending trouble can quickly change the picture.
Primary drivers
- More client trading and wealth use from digital-asset coverage
- A market shift toward value stocks could lift financials
- Stable mix of fees and consumer banking lowers single-point risk
- Changes in interest rates and credit outlook drive big moves

What happened during the window
