Рекордные максимумы биткоина увеличивают прибыль крупных банков до миллиардов долларов

cryptonews.ru2024-03-14 tarihinde yayınlandı2024-11-14 tarihinde güncellendi

По оценкам Forbes, банки Уолл-стрит получили прибыль после выборов на сумму 1,4 миллиарда долларов, поскольку цены на биткоин резко выросли.

Сообщается, что крупные банки заключили фьючерсные контракты на биткоин за несколько недель до президентских выборов: в общей сложности 10 564 новых контракта на сумму 52 820 BTC. Анализ основан на данных Комиссии по товарным фьючерсным биржам США (CFTC), опубликованных 5 ноября.

Фьючерсные контракты на биткоин - это производные финансовые инструменты, которые позволяют трейдерам спекулировать на будущей цене криптовалюты, фактически не владея ею. Хотя большинству банков Соединенных Штатов не разрешается хранить биткоин напрямую, они могут влиять на колебания его цены с помощью деривативов и биржевых фондов (ETF).

Длинные позиции банковских брокерских подразделений на Чикагской товарной бирже (CME) составили 3 миллиарда долларов при средней цене покупки в 65 800 долларов. По оценкам Forbes, скачок курса Биткоина на 22% с 6 ноября привел к чистой прибыли на бумаге в размере около 1,4 миллиарда долларов.

Открытый интерес банков в период с 8 по 15 октября подскочил на 3,5 миллиарда долларов - с 1200 фьючерсных контрактов на BTC (на сумму 373 миллиона долларов) до 11 766 контрактов (на сумму 3,8 миллиарда долларов). Удерживаемая позиция оценивается примерно в 5,3 миллиарда долларов по текущим ценам BTC, что дает банкам прибыль почти в 36% менее чем за месяц. Некоторые финансовые учреждения, которые работают на рынках крипто-деривативов, включают в себя JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs и SG Americas Securities.

Недавний всплеск популярности Биткоина в значительной степени связан с переизбранием Дональда Трампа 6 ноября, поскольку крипторынки ожидают, что федеральные агентства будут более активно сотрудничать при новой администрации.

Акции публично торгуемых криптовалютных компаний также резко выросли за последние несколько дней. 11 ноября акции Coinbase подскочили более чем на 20%, достигнув отметки в 300 долларов впервые с 2021 года.

Согласно данным CoinGecko, рыночная капитализация криптовалют на 13 ноября составила 3,17 трлн долларов, что на 119% больше, чем в ноябре прошлого года.

BIS Report Compliance Observations: The True Risks of Stablecoins Go Beyond 'De-pegging'

The BIS report, "Anchoring trust in money: innovation beyond stablecoins," highlights that the primary risks of stablecoins extend beyond potential de-pegging. It argues that the core challenge is whether stablecoins can be integrated into a financial system that is identifiable, monitorable, accountable, and regulatable. While acknowledging efficiency gains like faster payments and programmability, BIS emphasizes that money requires an institutional framework—including legal certainty, liquidity support, and financial integrity controls—which many stablecoins currently lack. The report details compliance risks, noting that while blockchain transactions are transparent, address visibility does not equate to identity or purpose clarity. This creates a systemic risk as pseudonymity, non-custodial wallets, and cross-chain bridges can undermine AML/CFT controls. Furthermore, these risks can spill over into the traditional financial system through on- and off-ramps. The future direction, per BIS, is not to prohibit innovation but to embed regulatory rules—such as identity verification and transaction screening—directly into the technological infrastructure of tokenized finance. The key takeaway for compliance is that any new financial instrument must clearly address questions of customer identification, transaction monitoring, accountability, and cross-border rule consistency to be viable as a mainstream payment tool.

When US Giants Collectively "Defect" to Chinese AI Models

When Silicon Valley Giants Turn to Chinese AI Models to Cut Costs A surprising trend is emerging: major U.S. tech companies are significantly reducing AI costs by switching to Chinese models. Coinbase, the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, reportedly halved its AI spending after migrating to China's GLM-5.2 and Kimi 2.7 models, despite increasing usage. They achieved this through a sophisticated three-part strategy: implementing an automatic routing system to select the most cost-effective model per task, boosting cache hit rates from 5% to 60% to reuse computations, and employing "context engineering" to provide AI with more precise, less cluttered information. They are not alone. AI startup Lindy switched from Claude to DeepSeek, saving millions, while Snowflake's tests found GLM-5.2 solved 66% of coding tasks compared to Claude Opus's 67%—but at a fraction of the cost (output pricing is 5-7 times lower). While the top Western models may offer slightly better stability, the massive price differential is leading many businesses to reconsider their value proposition. This shift signals a deeper change in the AI industry, moving beyond pure performance benchmarks to a fierce cost competition. As pressure mounts, even OpenAI and Anthropic have begun slashing prices. For users, this means more choices, lower costs, and a crucial lesson: using multiple models based on task complexity, optimizing with caching, and keeping contexts lean are now key to leveraging AI efficiently and affordably.

BIS Report Compliance Watch: The Real Risks of Stablecoins Are Not Just 'De-pegging'

BIS Report Compliance Observations: The real risks of stablecoins go beyond "depegging" The BIS report "Anchoring trust in money: innovation beyond stablecoins" argues that while stablecoins and tokenization offer efficiency gains, their primary risk lies in fitting into an identifiable, monitorable, accountable, and regulatable financial system. Money's trust stems not just from technology but from institutional arrangements: a common unit of account, guaranteed redemption at par, liquidity support, regulatory frameworks, and financial integrity requirements. Stablecoins, operating on permissionless blockchains with pseudo-anonymity and non-custodial wallets, create systemic compliance gaps: unclear customer identity, incomplete fund origins, unexplained transaction purposes, fragmented cross-chain paths, and ambiguous liability. On-chain transparency does not equal compliance transparency. Public addresses don't reveal identity or intent. While blockchain analytics aid law enforcement, they cannot replace routine, large-scale AML/CFT controls. Effective compliance requires a closed-loop process encompassing customer onboarding, transaction monitoring, investigation, reporting, and audit. Stablecoin risks are not confined to the blockchain; they re-enter the traditional financial system via on/off-ramps, exchanges, and payment institutions. This forces banks to monitor client accounts for activity linked to virtual assets. The future direction is not to prohibit innovation but to embed rules into the technology. Tokenized finance should integrate with the existing two-tier monetary system, embedding compliance—like customer identification, pre-transaction screening, and auditable data trails—directly into the transaction flow. For compliance professionals, the key takeaway is that any new financial instrument must answer core questions: Who identifies the customer? Who monitors transactions? Who handles exceptions? Who is liable? Compliance is not the antithesis of innovation but the essential infrastructure for its sustainable growth.
