🟡 Goldman Sachs: the dollar has not yet bottomed out — new risks ahead 📉

— Chief economist of Goldman Sachs Jan Hatzius warned: the decline of the dollar is far from over, writes Reuters.

📉 What is happening:
— In April, the dollar fell by more than 4.5% — a record drop since the end of 2022

— Since the beginning of the year, the dollar index has lost 8% against a basket of global currencies

— Historically, after similar situations, the dollar has fallen another 25–30%

💬 Goldman Sachs' opinion:

"The recent 5% decline in the broad dollar index is not yet exhausted".

⚡ Reasons for pressure on the dollar:
— Trade wars and recession risks

— Decreased demand for American assets

— Slowdown of the US economy growth to 1.8% by 2025 (according to IMF data)

🧠 Important:
— The weakening of the dollar does not yet threaten its status as the main reserve currency

— But the flow of capital into the US must remain stable — otherwise, the dollar will struggle to maintain its position

🔴 In Russia, they want to imprison dropouts for 6 years — amendments are on the way

— The Government of the Russian Federation has prepared a bill introducing criminal liability for dropouts — those who transfer their bank cards or digital wallets to fraudsters.

📋 What is being proposed: — Up to 6 years of imprisonment
— A fine of up to 1 million rubles

The amendments affect Article 187 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation — "Illegal Circulation of Payment Instruments". The government commission is already considering the initiative for submission to the State Duma.

💬 Why is this necessary: — The activities of dropouts disguise stolen funds, hindering investigations
— Criminal punishment should reduce the number of people willing to participate in money schemes

📍 Background:
— In March, the head of the Central Bank, Nabiullina, spoke about potential restrictions on the number of bank cards per person — to further complicate the lives of fraudsters.

🟢 ARK Invest predicts: Bitcoin could be worth between $500K and $2.4M by 2030 💥

— ARK Invest analysts have updated their Bitcoin forecast for 2030, and... the numbers are impressive:

📊 Scenarios:
• Bearish: $500,000
• Base: $1.2 million
• Bullish: $2.4 million

And this is not a joke — the current price is $93,371, which means that even in the most pessimistic scenario — a 5-fold increase over 5 years.

💬 Why the forecasts have become even more optimistic: — More institutional investors,
— Fewer Bitcoins in circulation (due to lost keys),
— Increase in money supply,
— And a growing interest in BTC as a scarce asset

🔍 ARK used an experimental method that only considers available Bitcoins (excluding lost ones), which makes the outlook even more bullish.

🟡 Trade wars undermine the influence of American banks on the global stage 🌍💸

— The global dominance of US banks is at risk. According to WSJ, prolonged trade conflicts initiated by the Trump administration may lead to a loss of clients and a shift towards banks outside the US.

📉 Despite a $130 billion surplus in global trade in financial services,

— The largest US banks — JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi — may lose their positions.

💬 Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan):

"Clients and countries are starting to look at us differently because of politics. This is a risk we will have to reckon with."

📊 Context:

— In 2024, 5 out of 5 leaders in investment banking are American banks

— But now — threats of diversification:

• JPMorgan has daily transactions in 160 countries

• Bank of America has a +14% growth in foreign loans

• Citigroup — so far without losses, but with high caution

📌 Essence: politics affects even those who control trillions.

And this opens a window of opportunity for non-American banks and crypto-finance.

🔴 19 American families became richer by $1 trillion — more than the GDP of Switzerland 💰

— In 2024, the wealth of the 19 richest families in the USA increased by $1 trillion, surpassing the entire GDP of Switzerland. This is a record annual increase in wealth for all time, reports WSJ, citing a study by economist Gabriel Zuckman.

📊 The numbers speak for themselves:
• Total wealth — $2.6 trillion (1.8% of all wealth in the USA)
• In 1982, there were 11 such families, and they owned only 0.1%
• In 2024, there are already 2000 billionaires in the USA — +45% over 3 years

🚀 Reason for growth: — The stock market has had the two best years in the last 25 years
— The assets of the super-rich are over 90% tied to stocks
— But: high volatility = billions can disappear in a day

💬 Among the names: Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates, Buffett, and Schwarzman — symbols of a new era of capital concentration.

⚖️ Questions to the system: — The top 1% owns 34.8% of the wealth in the USA
— The bottom half of the population owns only 3%
— Zuckman's research has already formed the basis for the ideas of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren about taxes on the super-rich

🔴 Lazarus is back in action — fake companies, fake interviews, real thefts

— The North Korean hacker group Lazarus has created 3 fake companies, two of which are registered in the USA. The goal is to attack the crypto market from within.

📉 How the scheme works:
• Fake startups are created,
• AI-generated "employees" are used,
• Crypto developers are invited to "interviews,"
• During the communication — malware is injected
• Next — theft of private keys and access to wallets

💰 Since 2017, Lazarus has stolen over $3 billion in cryptocurrencies. These schemes are their signature style.

👾 Developers, be cautious: — Do not download files from unknown companies
— Check websites and names — especially if an "HR" with an .ai avatar contacts you
— Use isolated devices to store seed phrases

🟢 The amount of Bitcoin on exchanges is decreasing — reserves have fallen to the lowest level since 2018

🟢 A competitor has emerged: Strategy: Twenty One Capital enters the game with 42,000 BTC

— The new company Twenty One Capital aims to become a bitcoin giant and has already received 42,000 BTC (worth ~$3.9 billion) from:
• Tether,
• SoftBank,
• and Bitfinex.

📈 How the scheme works:
— Partners are issued shares at $10,
— They will issue 389 million papers,
— Plus additional funding — another $585 million through bonds and stocks

If they invest everything — they will have 48,313 BTC,
but they are still far from Strategy with its 538,200 BTC.

💡 But! The head of the company, Jack Mallers (founder of Strike) is betting not on volume, but on:
— More bitcoins per share,
— Faster growth dynamics
(unlike Strategy's diluted model, where bond issuance reduces BTC/share)
