"A bank can mint a new stablecoin for a customer by encumbering reserve balances. When that stablecoin eventually makes its way back to the issuing bank to be redeemed it simply gets destroyed and a new deposit IOU token is minted for that other customer. Minting and destroying deposit tokens and stablecoins are not something people are thinking too much about yet but I suspect it will be constantly occurring - it's how Banks will make money - converting assets and liabilities back and forth for customers"

"What Backs the Fed's Money 🤔 The Federal Reserve holds Securities Assets on its Balance Sheet as collateral to backstop the physical Currency it prints and distributes throughout the world as well as the digital Reserve Balances it apportions to the Commerical Banks Up until 2008 the Fed's balance sheet was simple - 🟥Treasury Assets backed 🟩Currency Liabilities Then we went through a period where the Currency was under collateralized - so the Fed decided to createReserves to acquire bad assets from the Banks - providing liquidity to the interbank system and creating the current "ample"

"Last week the cost of interest paid to the Branches of Foreign Banks was approximately $1.18B on approximately $1.3T of Reserve Balances The question is. Why do we let Foreigners park deposits in these Banks (which do no consumer lending by the way) - only to then have these Banks turn around and deposit Reserves at the Fed to earn IORB Whats really crazy - since September of XX this concept is now coming at a direct cost to US taxpayers via lack of Fed Remittances (which previously ran $100B annually for XX years) Isnt is a better idea to have these Foreigners buy our Treasuries or Repo"

"The Balance Sheet make up for Branches of Foreign Banks is very different than the Large Domestic banks Lending is less than XX% of Assets and its not consumer based (its NDFIs and C&I) their Customer Deposit Liabilities are less than their Reserve Balances at the Fed (ridiculous) they are massive Borrowers both domestically and from home offices abroad and position themselves as large Net sellers of Fed Funds Assets (+) Liabilities (-)"

"Now that the Banks can officially create dollars for their Customers in the form of stablecoins and considering the optimum way to create them is by collateralizing Reserve Balances will the Banks find it more profitable to just "cash out" from the Fed If the liquidity features of this new form of money become more valuable than holding illiquid Reserve balances at the Fed earning IORB or if stablecoins become more desirable to hold as savings vehicles by foreigners instead of Currency then what purpose do we have for a "money creating" central bank 🤔"

"This is SO important and no one is talking about it - so let me be crystal clear Under the Genius Act Banks can use their Reserve Balances at the Fed - AS COLLATERAL - to back stable coins. This means XX years of trapped Bank Reserves totaling $XXX Trillion are about to become liquid. Under Genius Stablecoin collateral cannot be rehypothecated So if you are a Bank using Treasuries or Repo to back your stable coins means you cannot use those assets as collateral elsewhere on your Balance sheet. This is a problem because chances are you are doing that exact thing now with your Treasuries. Bank"

"I would think (unfortunately) that they probably view the Foreign Banks as liquid because of all their Reserves - and since they provide no FDIC insurance on their deposits I dont know exactly how these factors come into play on their regulation restrictions- but obviously there is no limit on Reserve Balances - even when they are more than Deposit liabilities"

"Revolutionizing Banking with Stablecoins: A Proposal for a New Financial Paradigm🏦🤔 As of last week the Federal Reserve is grappling with an ever-increasing $230B deferred asset deficit driven by $78B in annual IORB losses currently on $3.4T of Reserve Balances earning XXX% Enter the GENIUS Act: Banks can now encumber $1.80T of Reserve Balances to issue stablecoins neutralizing the loss. First we stop paying IORB on $1.50T of Reserves held in the Branches of Foreign Banks and convert all of their Reserve Balances into stable coins - saving $66B in IORB. Currently Foreign Branches maintain"
