Some of us warned that slashing the IDI-level leverage ratio requirement would encourage BHCs to load up their IDIs with risk.
Looks like that’s already starting to play out…

@BitcoinNewsCom Backing a loan w Ponzi collateral ain’t gonna secure the American dream
English
NEW: Coinbase and Fannie Mae partner with Better Home & Finance to launch Bitcoin-backed mortgages for U.S. homebuyers.
Borrowers can pledge Bitcoin or USD Coin as collateral for down payments, allowing them to keep their assets and avoid triggering taxable sales.
The loans are structured as conforming mortgages backed by Fannie Mae, meaning they follow standard underwriting rules and carry the same protections as traditional home loans.
The product targets everyday buyers locked out by down payment constraints.
Better says 41% of U.S. families can’t purchase homes due to lack of liquid cash, despite holding savings in other assets.
Rising interest rates and high home prices have tightened affordability.
A buyer targeting a $400K home may struggle to source $40K in cash without selling assets and navigating tax and legal friction.
Coinbase says the offering brings crypto into mainstream housing finance, calling it “as American as apple pie.”

WATCH: @RepYoungKim on crypto innovation in America: “When we discuss the term brain drain, it's often used in the context of foreign content, the talents leaving their home countries to come to America because of the opportunities that we provide. However, in the digital asset industry, this strain reflects a 2% year over year decline in the U.S. share of blockchain developers over the last five years. In 2018, the U.S. share of global blockchain developers was 40%, and today it is down to 20%. While the rogue regulation of former SEC Chair Gary Gensler did America no favors in fostering crypto innovation in America, that does not mean it is too late to reverse his policies and establish America as the Crypto Capital of the World by doing something that we already did, passing the Clarity Act.” 📺⬇️

An explosive Judiciary Democrats analysis exposes the staggering cost of Trump’s corrupt pardon spree: more than $1.3 BILLION stolen away from crime victims and injured taxpayers.
Not only is Trump pardoning tax cheats, drug traffickers, and corporate scammers, he’s wiping out the debts these grifters owe to their victims—and to society. The first convicted felon fraudster in the White House, Trump is proving white-collar crime does pay in his America.

Media: banks don't "hold" capital. Capital = Assets-liabilities. Every bank loan uses a mix of money the bank borrowed (such as from depositors) and its own (shareholders') money. Better term: solvency.

Tonight, Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC.
Let me get this straight:
Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds?
Release the Epstein files.

Blockchain wants 24/7 trading, but Trump/Atkins wants 180-day gaps between info that guides trading.
Derek Martin@dmartkc
More people are investing, predicting and betting on stocks than ever before… so the Trump admin wants ordinary folks to have even less info to work with. The Bad Idea Factory over at the White House is working overtime.

Those who think quarterly reporting leads to short-termism must think those in the c-suite lack impulse control (eat both marshmallows), or even an understanding that at the end of one quarter, there is another, which will also be measured.

Legit meant this as a question. Maybe Barr’s figures were the ones that are off but it’s been three years and nobody that I’m aware has challenged them. (They have challenged his conclusion that the 2018 Dodd-Frank rollback played a role in SVB’s collapse.)
