1/ #Bitcoin and precious metals have shown a noticeable increase in correlation recently🪙🧵 Image
2/ The crypto market seems to be tracking gold and silver more closely as the macro focus shifts from interest rates to bank failures and the risk of default.
3/ The higher correlation with precious metals likely began following the Silicon Valley Bank failure and the subsequent government response. It seems to persist as the debt ceiling deadline approaches. #SVBBank

At the beginning of what we call “America,” the government wrote laws, one such set of laws created the US dollar.
Because the federal government created the US dollar, you might think the Fed Govt’s understand that US dollar banking is the responsibility of the dollar’s creator. Image
But, seemingly, the federal government (and the public) don’t get it. Allowing for-profit, private banks to handle that responsibility, competently and without stealing, requires an impossible level of supervision along with a naive belief in the purity of the human spirit.
The words, “for-profit” are key.

It's a sunny day and you're standing in a long line outside your bank, waiting to withdraw your hard-earned money.

The reason? Everyone else is doing the same thing, fueled by panic and fear.

This, my friends, is what's known as a bank run🧵

#svbbank #bitcoin #finance
But what if I told you that you can avoid being a part of this chaotic scene?

That's right, there are ways to protect yourself from the madness of a bank run.
One way is to diversify your assets. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, as the saying goes.

Spread out your investments across different types of assets like stocks, bonds, real estate, and yes, even cryptocurrencies.

Not every financial company should be structured as a bank, thereby accepting deposits, intermediating funds across markets, and reporting capital adequacy ratios using the @BIS guidelines.
This is the lesson I derive from the #SVBCollapse
#SVBCrash
@Bis What is the point of pasting SVB CAR and Capital Ratio Metrics?
What sense could one derive from them before the run began?
They didn't reveal the full picture to the creditors, depositors, or shareholders.
CAR is a metric which exemplifies loss absorption capacity
Now?#SVBCrash
We need to revert to the Glass Steagall Act to understand economic history.
Why it was introduced in the aftermath of the Great Depression.
Why FDR and his team drew Chinese walls between Investment and Retail Banking institutions?

Mutual funds do come with lock-in features! Especially if you are investing in a capital-protected product, you are not entitled to early encashment for a certain time.
Redemptions are deterred with the backend load.
#Backstops are required in the banking arena beyond penalties
Of course, if you park liquidity in a time deposit liability side product, at a bank, you might have to pay a penalty for early withdrawal.
But, the highest liquidity risk is emanating from the sight deposits pool.
Run-on-the-bank risk is hard to mitigate if assets don't sell
Also, the standard practice is to call in the treasury department and borrow short-term through the interbank market to fund liquidity drains.
Call and Clean lending is done via the wholesale market for Fi credits.
Also, Repo markets can be used.

The #SVBCrash also further exposes the uselessness of the Basel 3 Accord and its modifications over the years
Why nobody is discussing the utter failure of @BIS_org which makes financial institutions invest billions in technology and staff recruitment, etc
We need answers
@BIS_org And the liquidity risk metrics reporting and filing which were introduced by @BIS_org under BASEL 3 were not fully implemented by the FED beyond certain large banks
But, still, certain aspects of Basel 3 were fully incorporated by the #SVB to make risk disclosures to the public.
