🚀 Wall Street banks are grinning like Cheshire cats, sitting on a cool $1.4 billion post-election gain thanks to Bitcoin's recent moonshot. Big banks dove into BTC futures before the presidential election, snagging 10,564 contracts—equivalent to 52,820 BTC. While they can't hold Bitcoin directly, they sure know how to ride the crypto rollercoaster via futures and ETFs.

With Bitcoin's 22% jump since Nov. 6, banks' brokerage units at CME saw their long positions swell to $3 billion. Even Coinbase stock joined the party, soaring over 20% to hit $300. Crypto market cap? A whopping $3.17 trillion!
