Here''s How Much Bitcoin Russia Has Bought In The Past Week In the words of the Washington Post, the battle between Russia and Ukraine is "the world''s first crypto war" as both sides discover the advantages of a borderless, permissionless currency. Whether it is for enabling donations to Ukrainians (for arms or humanitarian needs) or for Russians evading Putin''s FX transfer bans or escaping western sanctions, both sides appear to see the benefits. Crypto interest in Russia on the rise ; and Google searches do show an uptick in interest in Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, from Russia and, to a lesser extent, from Ukraine. At this stage 11% of Russians already own crypto; so there is some familiarly with it. The recent decoupling of bitcoin from tech stocks shows the regime change in demand from some external factor… And this could get significantly higher as the potential for capital flight from Russia is large. In a recent note. Citi details that, net capital outflows from Russia during the 2014 crisis were 151bn (a surge of 90bn from the previous year).

Zoltan Pozsar Warns Russian Sanctions Threaten Dollar''s Reserve Status Over the weekend, the world gasped in shock when Western powers announced that the nuclear option would be used against Russia in retaliation for its invasion of Ukraine - sanctions against the country''s central bank and targeted expulsions of key banks from SWIFT, a move which has effectively locked Russia out of the western financial system and left its vast oil export industry - a key lifeline for the Putin regime - in limbo. But the real reason for the shock is that this was the first time the global reserve currency was weaponized against a G20 economy, setting a clear precedent for how the west would and could respond to any other nation that followed in Russia''s footsteps (something which China is clearly contemplating vis-a-vis Taiwan, and is carefully studying just how the west responds to Moscow), As a result, and following this week''s dramatic freeze of the Russian central bank overseas assets, has prompted some to question just why countries build foreign currency reserves at all and, more broadly, whether the unprecedented western response to Russia hasn''t jeopardized the dollar''s reserve status.

"The Market Is Starting To Fail": Buyers Balk At Buying Russian Oil Despite Record Discounts While in their unprecedented broadside of sanctions on Russia, the U.S. and Western allies went out of their way to spare Russian energy shipments and keep economies humming and voters warm, the oil market appears to have gone on strike anyway. Acting as if energy were already in the crosshairs of Western sanctions officials, refiners have balked at buying Russian oil and banks are refusing to finance shipments of Russian commodities, the WSJ reports citing traders, oil executives and bankers. This self-imposed embargo which has effectively halted a majority of Russian oil shipments, threatens to drive up energy prices globally by removing a gusher of oil from a market that was tight even before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia, waging war and in need of revenue with its financial system in turmoil, is taking extreme steps to convince companies to buy its most precious commodity.

The mind-boggling hoard of jewellery the plundering first lady tried to smuggle out of the Philippines is being remade as sculpture by artist Pio Abad – with all its sparkle gone Over his three terms as president of the Philippines from 1965, Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda were able to cream off some $10bn of the nation’s assets through offshore banks. New revelations that a close associate of the dictator was also able to maintain an account with Credit Suisse as late as 2006 therefore comes as no surprise to Manila-born Pio Abad . For a decade the artist has been making work under the title The Collection of Jane Ryan and William Saunders , a reference to the aliases the couple used with the Swiss bank. “It’s funny when a 10-year project becomes news,” says Abad, who is now London-based. “These institutions are very culpable for what happened in the Philippines.” Continue reading…

The first Eurozone Banks get hit by sanctions while Switzerland is waiting to see if the Federal Government follows in the EU''s steps. To some degree or another, Swiss banks will not be able to escape sanctions against Russia, whether they affect corporate loans, commodity trade financing or business with wealthy clients from Russia. Switzerland''s second-largest bank, Credit Suisse, has stopped financing of commodity trades out of Russia, for example. No Comment Swiss financial watchdog Finma told finews.com it is in talks with banks about the risks posed by sanctions on their Russian business. It is unclear to what extent subsidiary institutions operating in Switzerland such as Sberbank (Switzerland), Gazprombank (Switzerland) and VTB Capital, primarily in financing commodity deals, will be affected. Sberbank, Gazprombank and the Association of Foreign Banks in Switzerland declined to comment to finews.asia on the current situation.
