On Bloomberg but it's paywalled: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-12/yellen-worries-over-loss-of-adequate-liquidity-in-treasuries > Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen cited concerns about the potential for a breakdown in trading of US Treasuries, as her department leads an effort to shore up that crucial market. > “We are worried about a loss of adequate liquidity in the market,” Yellen said Wednesday in answering questions following a speech in Washington. The balance-sheet capacity of broker-dealers to engage in Treasuries market-making hasn’t expanded much, while the overall supply of Treasuries has climbed, she noted. My toilet washes, and dries, my ass. I'm 100% in on non-traditional assets. Don't even own real estate. > Treasury debt outstanding has climbed by about $7 trillion since the end of 2019. But big financial institutions haven’t been as willing to serve as market-makers, burdened by the so-called supplementary leverage ratio, or SLR, which requires that capital be put against such activity, as well as against reserve holdings. > Yellen noted that the Federal Reserve now has a standing repurchase facility to provide a liquidity backstop to the Treasuries market; that “can be helpful,” she said. She also said that the so-called Group of 30 panel has presented some “good ideas” on reforms that would help strengthen the market, including the possible expansion of central clearing.
"big financial institutions... burdened by the so-called supplementary leverage ratio, or SLR, which requires that capital be put against such activity (as well as reserve holdings)." They are talking about lowering the requirements to allow more liquidity in the treasuries market? That sounds like QE for another market, am I right?
> * **Volatility** is a turn-off. Imagine bargaining to buy a dozen eggs for $3. You take your wallet out, and it now costs $4. You give it to the cashier, and they return you $2 because it now costs $2. Madness. Volatility is significant now because adoption is relatively low. Large holders of cryptos can swing prices with buys and sells. I believe that once large populations buy and hold BTC the volatility will drop. Stable coins have flaws, as we’ve seen with Terra/Luna. Do you also think CBDCs are of no use? > * Being **both an asset and a currency** doesn’t work well together. Because coins generally have value, they are hoarded. Which gets in the way of it working well as a currency, which needs to circulate. The Brits found this out when people literally melted coins for the copper in them. What about CBDCs? The government/rich can horde them but wouldn’t they be an asset and currency? What can’t this apply to another digital coin/token (non-CBDC)? > * Crypto has a major **UX problem**. You need a blackbelt in nerd-style kung-fu to navigate the crypto world proficiently. Even using exchanges has a steep learning curve. That is changing. Companies are making it easier to buy cryptos and cash out. > * For mass adoption, crypto needs to **interact closely with fiat, and emulate its utility closely**. Thus becoming exactly what it seeks to replace. Cryptos are the evolution of money. Humans used to livestock and grain, then used gold and silver, then sheets of paper, then sheets of plastic cards, etc. There will always be overlap in a transition. > * Crypto is **not egalitarian** \- the inequalities in the crypto world are as stark, if not starker than the real world. The difference is those who “have” are often not the have-nots in the real world, and that somehow makes it seem ok. This is similar to the real world where the corporations are given a free pass because everyone thinks they have a chance to be a multi-millionaire. (They don’t.) Yes. The rich and powerful or early adopters are living large. I think this is more reflective of human nature. > * Crypto is **not utopian**. There is usually no recourse when bad things happen. The default assumption is unless one is paranoid all the time, bad things *will* happen. The rule of law is key to the prosperous society we have today. Crypto unwinds this. And there sure as heck ain’t any insurance. Regulations are coming. Greater transparency too. More money is used for crime with fiat than cryptos. https://www.outlookindia.com/business/europol-report-says-cryptos-used-less-than-fiat-money-for-illegal-transactions-btc-eth-fall-news-51365/amp https://cryptopotato.com/fiat-is-far-more-common-than-bitcoin-for-money-laundering-confirms-us-treasury-department/?amp > * We have to put our **faith and trust in a handful of people** who run the Foundations/DAOs and a handful of coders who put the plumbing together. The recent deluge of disaster brought on by failures by both custodians and developers make it clear that perhaps the top 0.1% of coins can ever be trusted. Because they are incompetent, or malevolent, or both. You don’t see this changing with increased regulations? > * “Smart contracts” work when everything is in the **digital domain**, and is tied to the code in an enforceable way. This is not the case for, say, a house. The digital copy of the deed on a blockchain is not the deed. If you buy a movie ticket on your phone it’s digital and your movie ticket. If you take a picture with an SLR camera it’s a digital version and the picture. A digital version doesn’t mean it’s not a version or can’t be a version. > * Similarly, **NFTs are not as non-fungible** as people think they are. It’s just a private key. If you can transfer the private key, you can scalp tickets all you want. > * Crypto setups usually fail when some kind of **handshake** has to happen with flesh or brick-and-mortar. As an example, one of the strongest use cases for crypto is transferring money across borders cheaply. Works for tech savvy people who live in their smartphones. Doesn’t work so well for refugees who are running with just the clothes on their back. I don’t understand the point. If someone is a refugee and they have cryptos on a CEX (for example), once they are safe they can access that money. I can see a future where a face or iris is scanned and it logs you into your account. It already happens on laptops and phones. * **Anonymity is a myth** for most crypto setups - with sufficient effort, it turns out to be reasonably easy to track down who is doing what. People have gotten robbed of their private keys after getting doxxed. Or worse. Does this not contradict your utopian point? If someone does something bad can’t it be easier to find them compared to fiat? > * Just because crypto folks say it is unregulated doesn’t mean it will always **remain unregulated**. Crypto is just about coming up to systemic risk levels, and will see regulation come in heavy, irrespective of what enthusiasts may feel. It’s like the folks who declare sovereign states for themselves. When more than a handful engage in such fantasies, the po-po shows up. Some of the brightest minds say regulations are coming and are a good thing. > * Worse, central banks now realize how powerful digital currencies can be, and are going for CBDCs. **CBDCs have the worst of both worlds** \- complete digital control of your wallet by the government, with no anonymity. As opposed to what? Your current bank account, credit card, and Siri/Alexa listening in on you?
Reserves are only defined as cash. They actually need to hold 3% in reserves against any treasury bonds they buy…there was a time where the Fed made SLR exempt to promote liquidity in the treasury market/make it easier for treasuries to add them But generally, they buy these assets because they’re low risk and easy interest generating cash alternatives, which they can match to the duration of their lending portfolio. As part of their GSIB/SIFI assessment, the fed also evaluates the risk of their entire portfolio. They would easily invest their cash in equities and high yield bonds if the regulators didn’t come down on them so hard. It’s all to ensure they have the credit risk management to continue providing liquidity to the financial and corporate market Similarly, other foreign banks, most of which are subject to BASEL/other regional supervisory standards, are able to easily buy UST bonds easily since they’re viewed favorably from an HQLa standpoint Most importantly though…my issue with this comic is that it implies that banks are the largest buyers of ust. Btw sovereign wealth funds, insurance cos, other governments/central banks, fund managers…the pool is extremely vast The largest part that bank treasuries play are as primary dealers…but much of what they do (outside of adding to their balance sheet) is selling to the aforementioned investor bases
These guys are talking about alt coins going down 15% as bleeding. SLR coins have gone down 100%+ this bear run.
Happy moms day moms  Little pump for yeah.
SLR listed as .03 on carbon swap [solarcoin updates](https://solarcoin.org/#claim)
This is one of the 99% PND coins. Haven't you noticed all these coins on this sub are essentially exactly the same? You really think this token with no use case is going to generate enough volume to make anybody but the largest bag holders anything substantial? Tell us it's use case that will generate volume to kick out those rewards? #FCF Pay has a use case being implemented right now. They have a plan. Compare FTMP to Salary (SLR) and see how that went. They claimed the same. Haven't you realized by now these rewards are based on other people's buys and sells yet they say holders get rewarded? Lol, what the fuck? What kind of bullshit is that? Hold your coins to get rewards but also trade them? No? Then what's FTMP's use case so you can hold and get those rewards? Nothing. The coin will die out while the devs are marketing to "celebrity" You-Tubers. All the same bullshit. It took me a few coins to realize this but thankfully I've lost a couple hundred before I wised up.
A $1.50 token and a mysterious, undecided use case in the future? You need the use case now. How else will the Bitcoin dividends stay on the regular past the initial hype? These predatory tokens are made to die. Look at Salary #SLR. 1m tokens and it's practically dead too. A debit card tomspend your dividends won't. Mean a thing if there's no volume to generate those dividends. Same thing here.
dca is so much easier with reflection tokens like y-5. evergrow. reflecto. rematic. SLR. im suprised not more are talking about these. their so awesome
Annnnd.....yet again I ask on another "new and innovative" coin.... What's theuse case to generate transactions to get those 25% BNB reflections? A whale can have as many wallets as they want. Just like any other taxed shitcoin what's to keep transactions going? A Future NFT marketplace will absolutely not be enough with a million other already failed blood-in, blood-out coins. People want their money now and they want it constantly. No crypto project has a guarantee, but there's nothing here that is actually new or innovative to keep trx's constant. Another cash grab for yet another rando "best team in crypto" as they all say. Just look at $SLR. Same exact shit and beyond the initial hype, it's been slowly dying ever since.
all in on Evergrow coin. maby a lil on Y-5 and some on Salary (SLR). all good options
There’s already «webcam» chats using 360 degrees cameras; leaving you in the «same» room as the performer. In the case of the SLR app they are mostly eastern european and full of amphetamines though. So I hear.
yeah, all the free vr porn out there is really low quality. usually, VR users don't have a problem paying for vr porn as it takes a lot of money to produce good content. when it's done right, it's mindblowing. Hint: check out SLR Originals ;)
I'd invest the 5k in salary (SLR)... When the rewards start to show up in usdt, you'll know it's a good long term investment
Great project in a few days I’ll get the money I invested in this coin back from the rewards 😍😍😍 Feeling kinda sorry for those who didn‘t know about SLR
Been holding $SLR since day one The rewards are insane Get Your #SALARY Now 🔥🚀
SLR is the gift that keeps on giving, get in before it hits 10 million market cap because I feel like it's gonna go parabolic after that.
Been with SLR since day one! Have reflections of over $150 USTD already, and growing. The team is incredibly helpful, taking time to help individual users as required. Great AMA today, everyone on board is stellar. I am new to crypto investing and this project is creating a great deal of trust for me around the types of projects and devs I want to be involved with. Not for nothing, being a woman in this environment feels challenging, but the SLR team is making me feel confident in this realm and happy that I am one of their investors.
I'm following only real use case projects... Several time I have posted of projects such as Rentible RNB or Opacity Storage OPCT This is the first time that I'm following for passive income... I think this is a great project.. started only two days ago, I have already received my USDT Rewards.. This is amazing... Let's go SLR.. The start has been amazing
If it's hard to find new blockchain solutions, maybe ventures like Cudo can finance tokens that help this. Here's some I found: 1. **ADA Cardano:** It's the first peer-reviewed blockchain. It's most notable feature is apparently consuming only 6GWh of power. 2. **NANO Nano:** Like Cardano, this network apparently costs less power to process tokens. 3. **SLR SolarCoin**: You get 1 SLR per Megawatt hour produced via solar tech. I think you need to upload documents to prove generation. 4. **BITG Bitgreen:** You get BITG by doing eco-friendly tasks like volunteering, buying sustainable stuff, or carpooling. Not sure about the tracking process here though?
Take us to the moons  manager right now! 
Karens out in full force over the moons  debacle today 
Karens out in full force over the  debacle 
The ONLY regulation pretty much is the SLR. "If you give a mouse a cookie", right? Well this is "if you give a financial oligarchy no repercussions from bringing the entire financial system to the point of collapse" kind of deal.
SolarCoin SLR must be Celebi, the guardian of the forest

i loved the Merc SLR when it came out, so i think that would be my first choice
I'm not too familiar with direct registration and physical delivery but I know that yes it is possible but you can actually take physical delivery of a paper stock certificate if you wanted. Some brokerages may charge you a hefty fee for this and your asset becomes illiquid because you have to deliver the stock now if you sell and I'm honestly not sure how you sell that certificate in the first place. DTCC direct registration info: [https://www.dtcc.com/settlement-and-asset-services/securities-processing/direct-registration-system](https://www.dtcc.com/settlement-and-asset-services/securities-processing/direct-registration-system) Zack's on how to get a paper Certificate: https://finance.zacks.com/buy-stocks-receive-paper-certificate-5767.html So when you open a trading account and apply for a margin account, you sign a disclosure that basically says the brokerage can LOAN your shares out without paying you the borrow rate and they give your voting rights away with the share. It is profitable for them to do so because they collect the a borrow fee. You are still entitled to the dividend but it may be taxed at a different rate. FINRA margin disclosure: [https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/rulebooks/finra-rules/2264](https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/rulebooks/finra-rules/2264) SEC: **- Securities Lending and voting rights -** "Some margin accounts allow the brokerage firm to lend out securities in the account to a third-party, at any time without notice or compensation to the account holder, if the investor has any outstanding margin loan in the account. While shares are lent out, you may lose the voting rights associated with those shares. You will still receive a payment for any dividends related to lent out shares. However, since you are not the official holder of the shares, the payment you receive may be taxed differently. Ask your brokerage firm if its margin accounts allow for securities lending, and if so, to explain how it works and may impact the securities in the account. " Basically, your brokerage can loan out your shares on a margin account without your consent because you sign away your right to those shares when you opened your margin account. Generally, shares being loaned out are being loaned to a short seller (someone who thinks the price of the security is going to go down) so effectively you are assisting the short seller by allowing them access to your shares and devaluing your own investment! This is why you read the fine print. If you open an account and just check the "Yeah I consent to a bunch of intrusive and predatory shit" without reading, some brokers \*cough\* robinhood \*cough\* you will automatically be enrolled in a margin account allowing THEM to control your shares. It's not the stock market itself that is going to come crashing down but the economy as a whole is on the verge of falling apart. In addition to "frothy markets" (overvalued securities) there are many economic factors that have a grim forecast. When covid started, the SLR (supplemental leverage ration) and reserve requirement were waived. This allowed financial institutions (Archegos) to become far overleveraged. They used the same collateral at 5 different banks in a derivatives trade called a total return swap. This basically allowed them the financial benefit of stocks and other securities with the bank as the counterparty who actually held the assets. So, when the price of the underlying assets created too much risk exposure in their position, the banks began to liquidate Archegos and it caused a massive price shock in certain assets (and Credit Suisse was late to the fire sale and got caught holding the bad). Due to the lack of transparency and disclosure of positions, Archegos was able to achieve this over leveraging without anyone knowing what happened until it happened. Congress decided that rather than raise the debt ceiling or suspend it, they are going to go on vacation, er, spend time with their constituents for 2 months. The US is on the verge of defaulting: [https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/23/yellen-urges-congress-to-raise-debt-limit-by-aug-2-or-treasury-will-take-extraordinary-measures-to-prevent-default.html](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/23/yellen-urges-congress-to-raise-debt-limit-by-aug-2-or-treasury-will-take-extraordinary-measures-to-prevent-default.html) Financial institutions (we don't know which ones but it doesn't matter because it's not good) are parking hundreds of billions of dollars overnight at the Fed in a reverse repurchase agreement. There was 1.039 TRILLION parked last night in exchange for US treasuries because for some reason, they need more collateral than cash... [https://apps.newyorkfed.org/markets/autorates/tomo-results-display?SHOWMORE=TRUE&startDate=01/01/2000&enddate=01/01/2000](https://apps.newyorkfed.org/markets/autorates/tomo-results-display?SHOWMORE=TRUE&startDate=01/01/2000&enddate=01/01/2000) ​ Anyways, I'm short on the US economy in the short term. Hope this brings some clarity for you my friend. And, as always, this is all pure conjecture and ramblings of a lunatic who makes and eats her own edibles so this is absolutely NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.
Does anyone remember FCT, ZEN, SLR, SALT, DASH, BAT? And other coins that became trash in 2017 🥲. Can’t remember one coin which was related to some app like instagram.
SolarCoin (SLR) did this, it struggled to get recognition though, 1SLR issued per 1MWh of verified solar generated.
In that case maybe Solar Coin (SLR)? I've never really done any research on the coin but a summary from their website says "the platform aims to incentivize real-world environmental activity: verifiably produced solar energy." Could be a good start :)
Look at the last 6 months of trading and say that is something you want more of Swings not because of free market but because abusers want/need it to go a certain way. Agreed adoption is good, but I am not thrilled about **who** is adopting. These people are the ones who caused the crashes in 200 with the dot com bubble and again in 2008 with CDOs and whatever is going to be happening next few months as the waived requirements for SLR end on the 30th this month. See what happens and say you want the assholes who did those things involved. We moved away from traditional money because of them and they are following us.
Anyone know the best place to buy SolarCoin SLR?
Anyone know if the Solarcoin (SLR) project is legit? After the whole Elon stuff I have seen a few post about crypto that is more environmentally friendly and this was one of them I did not recognize.
Nano is not even on most people’s radar for being “the most green” even though it does sell itself as such. I just did some dumb google searches and the currencies that came up were XRP/XLM, Cardano, SLR, BitG, and ironically Doge (though that is particularly ignorant given it’s only greener because it’s smaller and more centralized). I eventually found Nano in a #7 slot. Now I’m not saying it isn’t superior (I haven’t really dug that deep) but I can say for sure most people are not convinced at this moment. Generally, we are looking at PoS and saying “those are way less energy than PoW”. Maybe Nano’s cheaper PoW competes (or is better) but that isn’t widespread knowledge. It also sounds not true to me just knowing what PoW requires relative to staking.
Solarcoin (SLR) tried this, but its hard to gain traction.
MAID (maidsafecoin) - Maids are incredibly dignified Solarcoin (SLR) - Super life Ruining Jesuscoin (JC) - Jesus Christ
TL;DR- Citadel and friends have shorted the treasury bond market to oblivion using the repo market. Citadel owns a company called Palafox Trading and uses them to EXCLUSIVELY short & trade treasury securities. Palafox manages one fund for Citadel - the Citadel Global Fixed Income Master Fund LTD. Total assets over $123 BILLION and 80% are owned by offshore investors in the Cayman Islands. Their reverse repo agreements are ENTIRELY rehypothecated and they CANNOT pay off their own repo agreements until someone pays them, first. The ENTIRE global financial economy is modeled after a fractional reserve system that is beginning to experience THE MOTHER OF ALL MARGIN CALLS. THIS is why the DTC and FICC are requiring an increase in SLR deposits. The madness has officially come full circle.
I don't care about US politics, but the reason bitcoin can do well has nothing to do with who's president here. Both presidents are guilty of quantitative easing and other stuff (okay Biden is not guilty of SLR easing but who cares) in a way that will not only increase M1 and M2 but will do so at first in the hands of mostly wealthy investors, which will then diversify their portfolio with things such as bitcoin. The economy could be tanking as bad as 2008 or be as fine as the late 1990s and this will still happen with this policy. Even if we assume that what you say it's true it has nothing to do with the price of btc. Also people from the USA don't understand this but: your country is not the only one that affects the price of btc.
Does anyone in group remember (SLR) Solarcoin? When it first started, the goal was each coin would provide a months worth electricity.
You dont even know wtf you’re talking about. SLR exemption being revoked will cause banks to sell treasurys and deleverage not buy them. Negative interest rates will also cause Bitcoin to go up in price not down because the market is flooded with money so savers are losers. Jerome Powell also said they’re gonna announce a decision on the SLR ease later this month, they wouldn’t say that if they didn’t plan on extending it since it is set to expire at the end of the month.
Will the Corporate Bond Bubble Burst at 2 pm Tomorrow? This is the question I can’t stop asking myself. By implementing some alphabet soup of acronyms tomorrow, I think the probability is actually pretty high. Here is my call: The Fed is going to extend the Supplementary Leverage Ratio Rule to banks, which is due to expire on March 31st. This will unleash another source of demand for treasuries to try to cap treasury yields from rising. Remember that banks bought 17% of treasury issuance last year. Banks have lots of cash on their balance sheets and utilizing that as a source of demand for treasuries may counterbalance the lack of foreign buyers. In the chart below, Andreas Steno Larsen of Nordea posits that if the Fed doesn’t implement the SLR extension, another $700 billion of treasuries will need to be sold by those banks. That’s not likely to happen, unless Jay is feeling frisky and wants free markets again. If we get this type of MMT/YCC, the US dollar would likely fall while oil would spike higher as the money printer goes “Brrrr.” The investment-grade corporate bond bubble may burst as inflation goes into overdrive. This would single handedly make the 60:40 portfolio obsolete, and bitcoin would consequently moon again. Be long volatility! Most of the leading economic indicators are telling us that will be the case
