A couple of exceptions to its uselessness are money laundering and extortion."

 Which means that BTC could be what countries and all of us look to buy as a means to protect our savings...  And if things really go further than we can imagine today... then BTC becomes exactly what the Maxis envision.   A global currency"

It states, "the sale of assets even before the conclusion of ongoing criminal proceedings is always legally required if there is a threat of a significant loss in value of about ten percent or more. These conditions were always met with the volatile Bitcoins due to the enormous and extremely fast price fluctuations."

"From the beginning, less than one percent of the market volume of Bitcoins was regularly traded over 90 percent over the counter in a market-friendly manner. On this scale, there is no direct influence on the Bitcoin price."

Jiangxi Bank of China goes under

China's banking sector is facing a full-scale crisis. In just one week, 40 banks disappeared, absorbed into larger institutions.

Today, Jiangxi Bank of China went under, further escalating the crisis.

China's smaller banks are struggling with bad loans and exposure to the ongoing property crisis.

Scope of the Problem
Some 3,800 such troubled institutions exist. They have 55 trillion yuan ($7.5 trillion) in assets—13% of the total banking system—and have long been mismanaged, accruing vast amounts of bad loans. Many have lent to real estate developers and local governments, gaining exposure to China’s property crisis. In recent years, some have revealed that 40% of their books are made up of non-performing loans.

Bank of Jiujiang, a mid-tier lender, recently revealed that its profits might fall by 30% due to poorly performing loans. This rare disclosure highlights the severity of the situation. The authorities have been pushing for more transparency, but the true extent of the bad debt problem is still emerging. The four state AMCs created to manage bad debts are now struggling themselves, with one needing a $6.6 billion bailout in 2021.

Disappearing Banks!
China’s main way of dealing with small, feeble banks: making them disappear. Of the 40 institutions that vanished recently, 36 were in the Liaoning province and absorbed into a new lender, called Liaoning Rural Commercial Bank, which was created as a receptacle for bad banks. Since it was set up in September, five other institutions have been established to do similar work, with more expected.

The Root Cause: Property Sector Recession
The root cause? China's property sector is in a deep recession. Overextended real-estate developers and local governments have defaulted on loans, creating a cascade of financial instability. Property prices have plummeted, and construction projects have stalled, further straining the financial system.

Hidden Bad Debts and Regulatory Crackdown
Adding to the complexity, banks have been using asset-management companies (AMCs) to offload toxic loans, creating a facade of stability. These AMCs buy bad loans but avoid taking on the credit risks, leading to a buildup of hidden bad debts. The National Administration of Financial Regulation (NAFR), a new banking regulator, has been cracking down on these practices, issuing fines and increasing oversight.

What is Coming?
This regulatory vanishing act will probably pick up pace. S&P Global, a rating agency, reckons it will take a decade to complete the project. While fewer bigger banks are easier to regulate, combining dozens of bad banks only creates bigger, badder banks.

The fact remains that the Chinese economy is in an extended and pretend state. Years of credit-fueled growth has finally run its course, and the result will be. lower growth for China and a negative impact on the global economy. Slower growth of the Chinese economy will, in turn, exacerbate their banking problems too.

This will very likely end in massive liquidity injections, stimulation of the economy, and investors flocking to hard
assets.

BREAKING: Earlier this week, ransomware group LockBit claimed to have hacked 33TB of sensitive financial data from the Federal Reserve. However, the data actually comes from Evolve, a financial institution popular with fintech startups.

LockBit has since released the stolen data on the dark web. Evolve provides services for companies like Affirm, Alloy, Branch, Dave, EarnIn, Mastercard, Mercury, and Visa.

The hack includes full KYC data and images of identity credentials, putting the entire financial system at risk for fraud, not just Evolve's users.

This affects not only users of Evolve fintech programs like Stripe Treasury (including Shopify) but also anyone who has sent or received payments through them.
