BRICS Nations China, India and Brazil Dump $28,800,000,000 in US Treasuries As JPMorgan Chase Forecast ‘Net Bearish’ on US Dollar

Three members of the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) economic bloc dumped US debt worth billions of dollars in the most recent reported period, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.

The latest data from the Treasury International Capital System shows Brazil, China and India collectively dumped US treasuries valued at $28.8 billion in October.

India led the pack, cutting its holdings of US treasuries by $12 billion while China reduced its US debt by $11.8 billion. Brazil, on the other hand, scaled down its US treasury holdings by $5 billion in October.

Between October of 2024 and October of 2025, China has offloaded $71.4 billion worth of US treasuries. Brazil and India have dumped $61.1 billion and $50.7 billion, respectively, in US debt over the same period.

The reduction of US debt holdings by the three members of the BRICS economic bloc coincides with J.P.Morgan, a unit of JPMorgan Chase, predicting that the US dollar’s bearish streak will continue in 2026.

J.P.Morgan’s global forex strategy co-head, Meera Chandan, says,

“Our dollar view for 2026 is net bearish, albeit smaller in magnitude and less uniform in breadth than in 2025.

The combination of a Fed that continues to fret about labor market softness and a middle-of-the-smile risk environment that supports the high-yield FX cohort should deliver a lower dollar on the whole…”

US Dollar Loses 10% of Its Value in Just One Year As Gold and Silver Send ‘Flash Warning’ To Markets

The US dollar has lost more than 10% of its value in 2025 as an economist warns precious metals prices are sending a major warning on the global financial order.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has lost 10.41% of its value since the start of 2025, meaning the world’s reserve currency has heavily depreciated against a basket of major foreign currencies like the euro, yen and pound.

The dollar decline has happened as precious metals like gold and silver witness historic breakouts, with gold rising 65.32% to $4,331 per ounce and silver rising 147.97% to $72 per ounce.

In a new op-ed in The Free Press, Economist Tyler Cowen says the dramatic surge in precious metal prices represents a “flash warning for the economy.”

“The rush for precious metals should worry us all. It reflects a new and possibly disastrous danger on the horizon…

The economy is becoming more correlated. Translated to everyday English, that means we have fewer sources of financial protection if matters, either economically or politically, were to go very badly. And so precious metals are stepping into the hedge and protective roles that were once fulfilled by the US dollar.”

Cowen says US policies and leaders are increasingly being seen as unpredictable sources of chaos, eroding confidence in the dollar’s historically protective role in the economy.

“It used to be that if you were worried about the future, you would move into dollars as the safe haven—in finance terms a countercyclical asset, which stays resilient when higher-risk assets fall.

But if the United States’ own government and policies are unpredictable, and its economy is volatile, you will look for some other hedges instead. Chaos in the U.S., and particularly in the White House, is pushing investors to find alternatives to the dollar.”

Scammers Use Bitcoin ATMs To Steal $333,000,000 As FBI Warns Crypto Scams ‘Not Slowing Down

Scammers have taken more than $333 million from Americans in just one year using Bitcoin ATMs, according to new data released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and reported by ABC News.

The reported losses in 2025 cover the period from January through November 2025 and represent a sharp increase from roughly $250 million recorded in 2024.

The FBI says crypto-related scams involving these kiosks are “not slowing down.”

The FBI attributes the growth to the expanding number of Bitcoin ATMs and the ease with which funds can be transferred quickly and irreversibly.

Bitcoin ATMs allow users to insert cash and send cryptocurrency directly to digital wallets.

The FBI says scammers frequently exploit this process by instructing victims to deposit money at the machines under false pretenses, including claims involving government agencies, financial institutions or urgent payment demands.

Once funds are sent, law enforcement says recovery is extremely difficult. The FBI notes that the speed and finality of these transactions make Bitcoin ATM scams particularly effective for criminals.

According to the report, more than 45,000 Bitcoin ATMs operate across the United States.

The FBI warns that the growing availability of the machines continues to create new opportunities for fraud as scammers adapt their tactics.

The agency urges the public to remain cautious and avoid sending money through cryptocurrency kiosks in response to unsolicited requests or pressure tactics.

#venezuela

There is circulating information that Venezuela may have accumulated a large “shadow” crypto reserve — up to 600,000 BTC.

In 2018, the regime sold around 73 tons of gold and, according to source estimates, converted the proceeds into Bitcoin to avoid asset freezes by the U.S. Treasury.
It is also claimed that by the end of 2025, a significant share of oil settlements was conducted in USDT, after which the funds were gradually converted into BTC.

🍕 A guy made $80,000 in one night just by watching pizza deliveries near the Pentagon.

1️⃣ A trader shared that he placed a bet on Polymarket after analyzing Domino’s orders near the Pentagon.
2️⃣ The logic is simple: a sudden spike in late-night pizza deliveries often signals a military rush — which historically coincides with preparations for strikes or major operations.
3️⃣ He believed a U.S. strike on Venezuela was almost inevitable after an aircraft carrier appeared, but the timing was unclear.
4️⃣ So he built a simple bot to track anomalies in pizza delivery activity.
5️⃣ When the indicator triggered, he immediately bought the outcome “The U.S. will strike Venezuela” — a few hours later, the market resolved in his favor.

#bitcoin

Exactly 17 years ago, on January 3, 2009, the Bitcoin network was launched and its first — the genesis block — was mined.

This moment is considered the starting point of the entire cryptocurrency industry.
The creator of the network, Satoshi Nakamoto, received the first 50 BTC and left a hidden message in the block hash — a headline from The Times newspaper:
“Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”
This was not just a note, but a direct reference to the crisis-ridden financial system, the bailout of banks at taxpayers’ expense, and the uncontrolled printing of money that erodes the savings of ordinary people.
Later, Satoshi disappeared, leaving behind no central authority and no owner. Bitcoin passed into the hands of the community — and since then has evolved as a fully decentralized monetary system, independent of governments and corporations.

🎉 Happy Genesis Block Day — the day an idea became reality.

In 2025, hackers stole $3.4 billion in cryptocurrency — nearly 70% of all losses came from three major incidents, including the Bybit exchange hack, which amounted to $1.5 billion.

The main threat remains North Korean hackers, who stole $2 billion over the year — bringing their total haul since 2022 to $6.75 billion.

Chinese media are openly discussing the division of #russia

Yesterday, NetEase—one of China’s largest media platforms—published a piece titled:
“If Russia collapses, 7 million square kilometers must not be lost.”

It refers to the Far East. And this is not analysis—it’s an instruction manual.

Key points:

→ For Russia, the Far East is a “chicken rib”; for China, it is a “treasure.”

→ Fewer than 50,000 troops remain in the Far East — an “empty shell.”

→ Russia’s GDP is “smaller than that of a single Chinese province.”

→ Taking it by force is not an option — it would be like Crimea.

→ One should “support pro-Chinese forces” and “bind them with loans.”

→ The goal: a “nominally independent state, practically dependent on China.”

Direct quote:
“Whose land is this? It’s just a name — the vital arteries are in our hands.”

While Kremlin propaganda talks about a “great friendship,” Chinese media are calmly discussing how to take a third of Russia’s territory “when the political landscape changes.”

Friendship is friendship — but seven million square kilometers are a different matter.

#Marketpsychology

We Always Think “We’re Right Here”

This image is a sharp illustration of how market psychology works. When prices start rising after a decline, it feels like the worst is over and only profits lie ahead. That’s the moment when hope, optimism, and confidence appear — the belief that “this time it’s different.”

But the market rarely moves according to our expectations. What looks like the beginning of a new uptrend often turns out to be just a pause before another downturn. Emotions distort perception: fear gives way to greed, and confidence slowly turns into anxiety.

The main lesson of this image is simple: success isn’t about where you are on the chart, but about staying in control of your emotions. Markets are cyclical, and mistakes repeat again and again — because human psychology hardly ever changes.

#Google Prepares To Hand $700,000,000 To Play Store Users

Google is preparing to hand a massive pile of cash to users to settle allegations that the tech giant unlawfully monopolized Android app distribution and in-app billing.

The $700 million settlement stems from a lawsuit by state attorneys general, and people who qualify for the payout are now receiving notifications.

The settlement addresses claims of overcharges, limited app choices, and misleading safety warnings about non-Play Store downloads.

Google denies wrongdoing but agreed to pay up.

Eligible users include U.S. residents in the 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands who bought apps or in-app content via Google Play Billing from August 16, 2016, to September 30, 2023.

No claim form is needed for most; payments will arrive automatically via PayPal or Venmo.

About 102 million people qualify with payouts starting at a $2 minimum, scaling with individual spending.

The court granted preliminary approval last month.

Final approval hearing is set for April 30, 2026, with distributions following shortly after.

BRICS Push To Ditch Dollar Escalates As Russia Issues $2,800,000,000 in Bonds Using Chinese Currency

Russia just raised $2.8 billion of bonds denominated in Chinese renminbi, capitalizing on China’s low interest rates to fund its invasion of Ukraine.

Russia’s finance minister Anton Siluanov says the move further cements the direct financial link between the two nations.

“We have succeeded in creating a liquid sovereign benchmark that will serve as a pricing guide for corporate borrowers and will contribute to the deepening of bilateral co-operation between Russia and China in the financial sector.

The results of the placement opened up significant opportunities for the further development of the national financial market and demonstrated interest in debt instruments denominated in the currency of the Russian Federation’s strategic partner.”

According to Siluanov, the transaction was executed entirely using Russian accounting and settlement infrastructure.

“Both issues were and remain available to all categories of investors, including foreign ones.

Given the benchmark reliability of the state as an issuer, such an instrument can be used for a variety of purposes, from managing available yuan liquidity to foreign currency savings.”

Much of Russia’s $50 billion National Wealth Fund is now denominated in renminbi, which opens cheaper financing for Russian firms.
