Jefferies for the first time has cut exposure to gold and added to the Bitcoin that already has 5% allocated to it in December 2020. The extra 5% worth nearly $22,000 a followed after Wood said in April that he was, “extremely bullish” on the crypto due to monetary easing and it was regarded as an “investable for institutions.”
