「Wood Sister」: Bitcoin is a key asset embodying three major changes, and its low correlation with gold will promote its attribute diversification

2026.02.10 13:12:24

On February 10, Cathie Wood—often nicknamed “Wood Sister”—said in her latest podcast that Bitcoin isn’t the traditional “digital gold” in a literal sense, so its short-term performance doesn’t align with gold’s. Since 2019, the correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and gold returns has been just 0.14. That’s exactly Bitcoin’s value as a diversifying asset: low-correlation assets boost a portfolio’s risk-adjusted returns. She noted the key to successful diversification is adding new assets with low correlation, and Bitcoin fits that bill. Moreover, Wood defines Bitcoin as an asset embodying “three revolutions in one”: - A global digital sovereign monetary system; - A new layer for the internet stack supporting native currency, intelligent agents, and commerce; - A new asset class (with Bitcoin as the most secure, largest network representing crypto assets). She describes Bitcoin as being in the early stages of the innovation S-curve. Like all historically disruptive technologies, it’s volatile and sees frequent pullbacks—but that’s a normal part of its growth path, not a sign of its demise.

Bloomberg: After the $6.3 billion crypto theft, Binance offers higher rebates to select market makers to maintain liquidity.

According to Bloomberg, after Binance suffered a record $630 million hack, the crypto exchange has increased incentives for some market makers trading on its platform to boost trading activity. People familiar with the matter said that shortly after last week’s security breach, the firm reached out to smaller trading firms, offering higher rebates in spot and futures markets. Per its website, Binance categorizes market makers into different tiers based on the liquidity they provide. Firms contributing a larger share of trading volume qualify for higher tiers, which typically come with larger rebates to lower their transaction costs. Under the one-week promotion, Tiers 2 and 3 market makers will receive the same rebate rates as Tier 4 participants, the platform’s highest tier, the sources added. The changes are designed to give smaller liquidity providers stronger financial incentives to quote on the exchange and maintain deeper order books, the sources noted. A Binance spokesperson said the exchange’s latest post-breach moves help calm the market, adding: “As we prioritize clear communication, we took immediate steps to preserve our core strength: liquidity.” Market makers play a critical role by continuously providing bid and ask quotes; the liquidity they supply allows other investors to trade without triggering sharp price swings. According to Talos, within 24 hours of the hack, Bitcoin order book depth on Binance dropped roughly 30%, with depth within a 1% price range falling from $45 million to $32 million. Market depth measures how much trading volume can be absorbed without causing significant price volatility.
