Aliens Confirmed? Ex-Bank of England Insider Ties Bitcoin to Cosmic Theory

DATE POSTED:January 19, 2026

First, markets were talking about quantum computing, and then one of Wall Street’s top strategists stopped trusting Bitcoin. Now, a new argument is emerging that even aliens could trigger chaos in financial markets, and Bitcoin may be caught in the middle.

Helen McCaw, a former senior analyst at the Bank of England (BoE), is warning that official confirmation of extraterrestrial life could trigger financial chaos unlike anything modern markets have seen.

Ex-Bank of England Analyst Warns of Financial Chaos if Aliens Are Confirmed

In her view, Bitcoin (BTC) may emerge as a last-resort refuge, even as traditional institutions crumble. McCaw, who worked in financial stability and risk at the BoE until 2012, wrote directly to Governor Andrew Bailey. She urged the central bank to stress-test for the unthinkable: verified intelligence behind Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs).

She predicts an “ontological shock,” meaning a psychological upheaval that could undermine collective confidence in reality itself.

According to The Times, such a revelation could unleash extreme market volatility, bank runs, payment system failures, and even civil unrest, potentially within hours.

Her concerns are rooted in ongoing US declassification efforts, including Pentagon briefings and the UAP Transparency Act.

Notably, several senior American officials, including the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, the New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and James Clapper, a former director of national intelligence, have recently indicated their belief in the possibility of intelligent non-human life.

Have you watched or heard of the “documentary” called The age of disclosure? Lots of US officials give evidence, even Marco Rubio. It was released last year.
