"Weekly Balance Sheet Maneuvers of the Federal Reserve 🏦 There are X main liabilities of the Fed other than the physical Currency it prints Depending on movements on Asset side of the Fed's balance sheet withSecurities QE QT or RRP - and depending on what the Federal Government is doing with spending and tax receipts into the🟪Treasury General Account - these other liabilities collectively adjust each week to counterbalance those changes in Assets. The net result of changes in these liabilities or "factors" is the total amount of Reserve Balances that get apportioned to the Banks for that"

"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"

"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"

"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.
