Paribus. The Fragility of Finance.

Despite a lot of turbulence in the markets this week the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) did exactly what was predicted. Jerome Powell carefully adjusted his language and reframed the narrative around his 25 basis point rate hike to try and calm the markets he had helped to damage. His forward guidance was only to expect further rate increases if inflation spirals out of control. He avoided taking any responsibility for the recent bank failures, claiming instead that the sector was stable and robust. In reality, the global financial system

Paribus : Conflicting Narratives

If the past year has taught us anything it’s that no one has a crystal ball when it comes to predicting future moves in the crypto market. Macroeconomic factors and black swan events have time and again overpowered technical analysis. This week China will celebrate the Lunar New Year and move from the year of the Tiger into the year of the Rabbit. Already there are several confusing and sometimes conflicting narratives as to what the coming year will bring. Many commentators are expecting 2023 to be beset by continued

The Price is Right

This week we dig a little deeper into our rationale and the challenges we’ve faced in developing a new protocol. As we’ve seen this year, borrowing and lending in crypto can be a risky business which is why we’ve taken our time to thoroughly plan and think through the process. Two essential lessons everyone should have learned in 2022 are that leverage is bad and giving away control of your crypto is a recipe for disaster.

Passport of the Future

A few years ago if you were to talk about governments being able to control your money and impose travel restrictions on their citizens most people would roll their eyes and ask where your tin foil hat was.

Although they may be ahead of the curve at the moment, their path to a digital future

Money is Power

The politician Benjamin Disraeli once said, “Money is power, and rare are the heads that can withstand the possession of great power.” Understanding that powerful nations have the ability to control world events through monetary policy helps to explain why regulators take such a strong interest in stablecoins. As we explained earlier this week the present strength of the US Dollar is due to the fact that over 80% of world trade has to be settled using dollars and there’s currently a shortage of dollars. This places the US in
