Woori Financial names separate group chief consumer protection officer
Woori Financial Group said it created a consumer protection division at its holding company and appointed a dedicated chief consumer protection officer. It said this is the first case among South Korean financial holding companies to name a holding-company-only CCO rather than a concurrent post.

Woori also completed CEO recommendations for 11 subsidiaries, extending 10 terms by a year and replacing the Woori FIS CEO.

Bitcoin optimism cools fast as $150,000 target looks more distant
Robinhood’s prediction market shows a 14% chance bitcoin will reach $150,000 before June 2026, as market optimism cools after the cryptocurrency failed to break key resistance levels. Bitcoin rose about 7% over five straight sessions in early January but did not regain $100,000 and later slipped below support near $99,000. The odds were above 60% in early October but fell through late 2025. Some experts and institutions still see longer-term upside.

Bitcoin 2026 outlook splits between $50,000 and $250,000
Market views on Bitcoin in 2026 are sharply divided as the four-year halving cycle thesis comes under pressure. Grayscale argues Bitcoin could top $250,000 in the first half of 2026, citing rising global debt, weakening fiat value and greater institutional investment. Galaxy Digital takes a cautious view, saying U.S. elections, interest-rate swings and geopolitical risks could limit prices to around $50,000. Analysts also flag stablecoin growth, privacy and prediction markets as key variables.
