One month ago, Jerome Powell, head of the Federal Reserve in the US, announced that the banking system was sound and robust despite the collapse of several large banks. After raising rates a further 0.25%, he said, “We’re committed to learning the lessons from this episode and to work to prevent events like this from happening again.” As we prepare for another potential 0.25% rate hike on May 3rd, another major bank in the US, First Republic Bank, has collapsed.

However, as emerging economies like China and India rise in prominence, their currencies are gaining traction in international transactions, challenging the dollar’s hegemony.

In recent weeks, there have been systemic failures in the global financial system, particularly in the banking sector, causing people to question the legitimacy of information provided by regulators. Despite repeated assurances of robustness and security, people continued to withdraw their money from banks and invest in assets they could hold. Many of our community are familiar with the idea of “not your keys, not your crypto” after the failure of several protocols and investment funds.

All To Play For While many people in crypto, especially those on YouTube, focus on technical analysis to predict market trends, we prefer to zoom out and see the broader context. While charts can be helpful, much stronger headwinds often override them. This is especially true when it comes to the present geopolitical situation. Of all the lessons learned in 2022 the most valuable one is that although there are several risk factors inherent to the crypto market itself, it’s also vulnerable to more widespread market moves. Also, due to

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. These days however the dystopian future dreamt of by science fiction authors is rapidly becoming a reality. When it comes to dystopian visions of society and governmental overreach, most people’s first thoughts turn to China. Although they may be ahead of the curve at the moment, their path to a digital future

If you ask most people in crypto what a digital asset is they usually reply that it covers everything in crypto. For over a year major exchanges and projects have been asking regulators the same question and are repeatedly frustrated by their inability to answer clearly.
