Big banks are cashing in on market chaos. Bank of America's trading desk just wrapped up a solid Q4—profits surged thanks to wild market swings and higher net interest income that beat what Wall Street expected. When traditional finance gears up from volatility, it's worth watching what's happening across different asset classes. Market turbulence creates opportunities, and institutions are clearly positioned to capitalize. Whether it's traditional equities or digital assets, volatility has become the name of the game. These moves in conventional banking echo what we're seeing in crypto markets too.
