https://cincodias.elpais.com/opinion/2026-01-27/las-claves-el-problema-de-la-vivienda-va-mas-alla-de-una-posible-burbuja-hipotecaria.html [...]El problema de fondo, sin embargo, es la carestía de la vivienda, que es lo que acaba fomentando que los bancos recorten los precios para atraer a unos consumidores que, de otro modo, no podrían aspirar a comprarse una casa. En eso las encomiables intenciones regulatorias de los supervisores poco pueden hacer. Estimular la construcción de viviendas supondría desvalorizar los activos inmobiliarios actuales, que tienen un gran peso en la cartera de ahorro de los europeos, y en particular de los españoles. El BCE y los bancos centrales de cada país pueden tirar de la manta para que les tape el cuello, pero hará falta algo más para cubrir los pies. [...].Esto es lo que llamábamos Tweet, creo. A mí me parece de una honestidad brutal. Y deja claro, en un periódico financiero neoliberal de gran tirada, que la escasez es artificial, y que el problema está en haber convertido la vivienda en un medio de acumulación de valor en vez del dinero. Es que es de una dureza que no había leído en medios financieros de gran tirada
El dólar no está muriendo, se está transformando para sobrevivir. Mientras el oro toca máximos, hoy Tether y el Gobierno de EE.UU. acaban de cambiar las reglas del dinero para siempre con el lanzamiento de USA₮.No es solo otra stablecoin; es una infraestructura digital regulada a nivel federal en EE.UU. bajo el nuevo marco del GENIUS Act.Las claves del anuncio hoy:🏦 Emisor: Anchorage Digital Bank (primer banco con licencia federal para este fin).⚖️ Cumplimiento: Respaldo 1:1, supervisión continua y estándares bancarios de gestión de riesgos.🔍 Transparencia: Cantor Fitzgerald actúa como custodio y primary dealer, garantizando visibilidad total de las reservas desde el día 1.Diferencia estratégica:Mientras USD₮ sigue siendo la herramienta global, USA₮ está diseñada para instituciones estadounidenses y su sistema de pagos. No es moneda de curso legal, pero opera dentro del perímetro regulatorio de EE. UU.¿Por qué es un hito para el sistema monetario? 🌐Estamos ante la "dolarización digital" como arma de defensa. El GENIUS Act permite que las stablecoins absorban la deuda que otros países ya no quieren. Al estar respaldada por bonos del Tesoro, cada USA₮ emitido ayuda a financiar el déficit de EE. UU. Es el Estado utilizando a privados para mantener el dominio del dólar frente a la desdolarización global.El impacto directo en México 🇲🇽🇺🇸Este movimiento toca la fibra más sensible del país: las remesas.1.

Standard Chartered warns stablecoins could drain $500 billion from U.S. bank deposits by 2028Quick Take*Standard Chartered has flagged that accelerating stablecoin adoption could pull $500 billion from U.S. bank deposits by the end of 2028.*Geoffrey Kendrick, the bank’s global head of digital assets research, said U.S. regional banks are the most exposed to this risk due to their reliance on deposit-driven net interest margin income.U.S. banks could face as much as $500 billion in deposit outflows to stablecoins by the end of 2028, according to a new report from Standard Chartered which frames stablecoin adoption as a growing structural risk to the traditional banking system.The estimate represents roughly one-third of the $2 trillion stablecoin market cap that the bank’s analysts expect by the end of the decade, and about half of the $1 trillion in emerging market bank deposits that Standard Chartered has previously projected could migrate into U.S.-dollar stablecoins over the same period.Geoffrey Kendrick, the bank’s global head of digital assets research, said the risks have become more visible as payments and other core banking activities increasingly migrate toward blockchain-based alternatives. He also pointed to delays surrounding the U.S. Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, known as the Clarity Act.“This issue has pitted big banks against Coinbase,” Kendrick wrote. While Coinbase initially withdrew support for the bill, noting that its latest draft would bury a major incentive to hold and issue stablecoins, Bank of America’s CEO warned that stablecoins could attract up to $6 trillion in deposits from banks if allowed to pay interest.The tussle in Washington suggests regulatory uncertainty could further accelerate adoption once the framework is finalized, the Standard Chartered analyst stated.Regional banks lead exposure riskTo assess which American banks are most exposed, Standard Chartered analyzed net interest margin income as a percentage of total revenue, arguing that the metric best captures vulnerability to deposit flight. Deposits are a primary driver of net interest margin, Kendrick said, and a sustained shift into stablecoins would directly pressure that income stream.Using this measure, the bank found that U.S. regional banks are the most exposed, given their heavier reliance on deposit-funded lending. Diversified banks face more moderate risk, while investment banks and brokerages appear least exposed due to their lower dependence on deposit-driven income, per Standard Chartered’s analysis.Disruptive threats The report also highlighted structural factors that could amplify deposit losses. For one, the two dominant stablecoin issuers, Tether and Circle, currently hold only a small fraction of their reserves in bank deposits, limiting any offset from redepositing funds back into the banking system.Standard Chartered estimates that roughly two-thirds of current stablecoin demand originates in emerging markets, leaving about one-third tied to developed markets — a split that underpins its $500 billion projection for U.S. and other developed-economy banks.Yet, Kendrick also cautioned that not all disruption would play out evenly. The impact on individual banks will depend on how they respond, including whether they adapt their funding models or engage more directly with tokenized financial infrastructure. Beyond deposits, the bank said it is also monitoring longer-term risks to non-interest income as tokenization of real-world assets expands.U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins currently have a supply of roughly $300 billion, according to The Block's data. If Standard Chartered’s projections hold, the market would almost triple in size from bank deposits alone, moving closer to the widely anticipated $1 trillion level by 2028.
Scott Bessent says Trump administration is still pursuing ‘strong dollar policy’Greenback rebounds after Treasury secretary rejects speculation that Washington is intervening to boost yenThe US currency rebounded on Wednesday after US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent said Washington was still pursuing a “strong dollar policy” and was not planning an intervention to boost the Japanese yen.The dollar jumped as much as 0.9 per cent against the euro and 1 per cent against the yen after Bessent said in an interview with CNBC that he expected the US currency to appreciate.“The US always has a strong dollar policy, but a strong dollar policy means setting the right fundamentals,” Bessent said, adding that the administration’s policies were making the US “the best place to come”.“If we have sound policies, the money will flow in and we are bringing down our trade deficit, so automatically that should lead to more dollar strength over time,” Bessent said.The remarks come after US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday evening that the recent fall in the US currency was a “great” development, pushing the dollar to its lowest level in four years against a basket of peers.The dollar has fallen almost 2 per cent since last week amid speculation that the US Treasury was considering intervention in foreign exchange markets after it emerged that the New York Federal Reserve had conducted a check on the dollar-yen exchange rate on behalf of the administration on Friday. Rate checks are often seen as a precursor to foreign exchange intervention.Asked if the US Treasury was intervening in foreign exchange markets to prop up currencies against the dollar, Bessent replied “absolutely not”.The speculation around a potential joint US-Japan intervention in currency markets, combined with Trump’s comments, had been taken by some investors as a sign that the administration was shifting its stance to welcome a broadly weaker dollar.Meera Chandan, co-head of global FX strategy at JPMorgan, said the clarification from Bessent dispelled speculation that there is “a massive plot to weaken the dollar”, and assured investors that “it is going to be the usual market forces that are driving it stronger or weaker”.The Japanese yen weakened back to ¥153.46 per dollar after the remarks, as hopes of a joint intervention faded. It had weakened to almost ¥160 before the New York Fed’s rate check.Chandan said pressure on the yen “is going to remain and the market is going to test that”. Concrete US interventions in foreign exchange markets are rare. Since 1996, after then-Treasury secretary Robert Rubin initiated a “strong dollar policy”, the US has only intervened three times.“The market clearly believes that there were rate checks last week. There was no actual intervention. In that sense it is strictly correct that the US is not intervening in dollar-yen,” said Shahab Jalinoos, head of G10 FX research at UBS.Jalinoos noted that he believes that if the exchange rate were to move up to ¥160, the market would be expecting another “soft” intervention.
Deutsche Bank offices raided in German money laundering probeProsecutors swoop on lender’s Frankfurt headquarters and site in BerlinDeutsche Bank said it was co-operating fully with the public prosecutor’s office © Alex Kraus/BloombergDeutsche Bank’s Frankfurt headquarters and other offices have been raided by prosecutors as part of a money laundering investigation.Frankfurt prosecutors said on Wednesday that the searches were part of a probe into executives and employees of Deutsche Bank on suspicion of money laundering.Prosecutors said the bank had previously maintained business relationships with foreign companies that were suspected of having been used for money laundering purposes.The raids came a day ahead of the lender’s annual results, when chief executive Christian Sewing is expected to report its highest profit in many years in an announcement that is now likely to be overshadowed by the probe.The identities of any executives and employees involved in potential wrongdoing were not yet known, the prosecutors said. The operation also involved a search of a site in Berlin by officers from Germany’s federal criminal police.Deutsche Bank said it was co-operating fully with the public prosecutor’s office but declined to comment further.The investigation relates to transactions carried out between 2013 and 2018, according to a person familiar with the matter.It focuses on possible shortcomings in Deutsche Bank’s anti-money laundering controls linked to a prominent former client, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, according to a person familiar with the matter.Investigators were examining whether the bank had been too slow to file one or more suspicious activity reports relating to companies linked to Abramovich, who has been under EU sanctions since 2022, the person added.Deutsche Bank declined to comment on the link to Abramovich, which was first reported by Süddeutsche Zeitung.Banks are required to report suspicious transactions promptly to authorities, with failures potentially leading to significant fines.Deutsche Bank has previously paid penalties over delayed money laundering reports and was subject to enhanced oversight by Germany’s financial regulator BaFin until the end of 2024.The searches are reminiscent of a high-profile raid on Deutsche Bank’s headquarters in 2018, when about 170 police officers seized documents as part of an investigation into alleged failures to flag suspicious transactions routed through an offshore unit in the British Virgin Islands.That probe, which also covered the period from 2013 to 2018, was later dropped for lack of sufficient evidence of criminal wrongdoing by employees, although the prosecutors forced the bank to pay €15mn over shortcomings in its anti-money laundering controls.The episode shook investor confidence and helped trigger a sweeping overhaul of the lender under Sewing.Shares in Deutsche were down 3.3 per cent in afternoon trading.
Buenos díasEs paradojico que el Gobierno que puede regularizar la población que dejo de ser turista y se ha asentado, irregularmente, en el país y no pueda regularizar el precio de la vivienda o del alquiler. No todo cabe en un Real Decreto pero muchas cosas se pueden iniciar con uno.Por otro decreto, este decreto ley, que no se aprueba parece que puede decaer la moratoria a los desahucios en el caso del alquiler de personas vulnerables. Se está discutiendo mucho (incluso en la prensa socialdemocrata) si esta medida es correcta o no: traslada el coste de una medida de protección social a los propietarios privados, sin contraprestación, lo cual se traduce en una expulsión de esas personas del mercado de alquiler, por lo menos privado. Sería interesante ver qué pasará si esta medida no se acaba aprobando (que supongo que no será de un día para otro).
