New Fronts in the Global War Against the U.S. Dollar: De-Dollarization
Thus, a percentage of crypto purists want to disintermediate the global banking system and replace the U.S. dollar as the “hegemonic” global fiat currency. Strategic dollar shorting is their long play.
Some claimed that “Venture Catastrophists” caused the SVB bank run out of greed: Any complex event has multiple causes. Too many bank customers tried to withdraw too much money at once. Many factors contributed:
SVB made the same mistakes that bring down most financial firms: mismatched durations and poor risk management. It invested long in mortgage loans and Treasury bonds and borrowed short from startups that needed cash to operate.
For tighter regulation, SVB successfully lobbied the Trump administration to raise the asset limit.
Interest rates rose at a historic rate, lowering its long-term investments.
SVB's communications and strategy of selling equity to plug its balance sheet hole caused the run it was trying to prevent.
SVB's startup customers are unusually nervous: They're interconnected by a few VC firms and have cash balances well above the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000, increasing the risk of a bank stampede.
The feds turned on the lights and closed the bar by Friday morning. The Venture Catastrophist was born on Twitter while they worked over the weekend to ring-fence the contagion and compensate SVB's depositors. The fear mongering was intended to garner support for a federal bailout of SVB depositors, many of whom were Catastrophists. (1)
SVB bank failure included investments in cryptocurrency startups, and the federal bailout (induced by the Catastrophists contagion activity) saved many VC portfolio positions in bitcoin and crypto entities.
Once again: a market position that bet against the long-term stability of a particular bank and the U.S. banking system in general, while using the bailout to save long-term investments that are hedges against the dollar as the global fiat currency. A dizzying, nasty saga and a dog chasing its tail.
Brazil's Lula and France's Macron recently stated their countries' intent to forge partnerships to move away from the dollar's continued centralization in the global financial system. The Saudis and Chinese have already joined in. De-Dollarization leaders from various global industries have spoken out. Consider these perspectives on this issue:

As the 2024 U.S. presidential race approaches, investors worldwide are closely watching potential outcomes and their implications for global markets. While a 269-269 Electoral College tie between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remains unlikely, its occurrence would set the stage for an unprecedented period of political uncertainty, triggering a contingent election decided by Congress. Such uncertainty would ripple across forex, stock, and oil markets, where stability and predictability are prized. Here’s a look at how a tie could affect these key financial sectors.
