Bitcoin was created as a response to the kind of debt-financed monetary disorder now playing out across global bond markets. The original thesis was that when governments borrowed recklessly and debased their currencies, hard-money assets would absorb the resulting demand.

What that thesis left unresolved is the possibility that the debt spiral could tighten financial conditions strong enough to suppress speculative assets before the hard-money argument has time to play out.

In 2026, the long-term narrative and the short-term mechanics are running in opposite directions, and understanding why requires spending a few minutes with the most consequential number in global finance right now.

A $25 billion auction of new 30-year bonds on May 13 was awarded at 5.046%, the first time investors have received 5% on the long bond since 2007, driven by surging energy prices and rising expectations that inflation could prove more durable than markets assumed.

US bank is preparing to handout up to $25,000 per victim of two data breaches to settle a class-action lawsuit.Flagstar Bank, N.A., has agreed to a proposed $31.5 million settlement to compensate the 2.18 million Americans whose personal information was comprised in data breaches that occurred more than four years ago.Flagstar says that in January 2021 hackers infiltrated a file sharing platform that is used by the bank and accessed the personally identifiable information of more than a million consumers. In a separate incident in December 2021, the bank says cyber criminals infiltrated Flagstar's network and accessed the personally identifiable information of another approximate one million individuals.A class-action lawsuit was filed against Flagstar on behalf of the impacted bank consumers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.Settlement class members are eligible to receive up to $25,000 for documented losses that arose as a result of the data breach, including fees for attorneys, accountants and credit repair services. An alternative cash payment of an estimated $60, or $100 if a resident of California, will also be provided, where settlement class members will not be required to provide proof of losses. The deadline to submit a claim form is August 11th. The court is expected to give final approval of the settlement on October 1st.As part of the settlement, Flagstar denies having done anything wrong.Flagstar Bank, N.A., is headquartered in Hicksville, New York, and has $87.1 billion of assets under
