The United States banking system is in trouble as over 2,300 financial institutions could have more liabilities than assets, recent analysis reveals. Subsequently, analysts say this could boost Bitcoin prices in the weeks and months ahead if the government doesn’t proceed carefully.

US Banks Burning Through Capital Buffers

The US Treasury and Federal Reserve say that the problems are peculiar to just individual banks, but experts are warning that the situation is much worse than the government admits.

With the anti-inflationary measures in place, almost half of America’s 4,800 banks are burning through their capital buffers, and there is still more tightening to come from the Fed.

The full effect of monetary tightening by the Fed has yet to hit the economy, and only then would experts know whether the United States financial system will be able to safely deflate the excess leverage induced by extreme monetary stimulus during the pandemic between 2020 to 2021.

The White House did not offer a blanket guarantee for all deposits because that would look like social welfare for the rich. Besides, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) reportedly has only $127 billion of assets and may require its own bailout.

For that reason, financial institutions are now pressuring the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to crack down on short-selling strategies that profit when bank stocks slide.

Lindsey Johnson, CEO of the Consumer Bankers Association, urged policymakers to take a serious look at the financial havoc wreaked by short-sellers.

Bank Failures Could Drive Bitcoin Prices

The turmoil in the banking industry is a concern for the Biden administration. If thousands of banks in the United States were to fail, it is possible that some investors could turn to Bitcoin as a way to protect their assets.

With the Biden administration’s stance on cryptocurrencies, any action that places the banking system in jeopardy could drive Bitcoin prices higher, even above $40,000.

The SEC is not currently contemplating any ban on short-selling bank stocks, according to a senior agency official.

In 2008, the SEC called time-out on short-selling on nearly 1,000 financial stocks in a bid to restore faith in public markets.  However, the New York Fed later found that the ban did little to stem the financial stock market that was flaying out of control.

Another study discovered that most of the stocks protected by the ban lost the citizens’ confidence, suffering “a severe degradation” in market quality, price impact, and volatility.

As financial institutions press the SEC to take action against short-sellers, and their role in the market, which is impacting Americans’ confidence in the financial system. Yet, any careless moves to pull the pin could create more fissures, possibly buoying crypto and bitcoin prices.

His diverse range of topics, including technology, Forex, and finance, reflects his comprehensive understanding of the crypto landscape.

His technical expertise and analytical skills have been recognized and featured by leading news outlets such as Investing.com, CoinTelegraph, Entrepreneur, Forbes, and other authority sites. Notably, he broke key news, including the Ripple and MoneyGram partnership, cementing his position as a thought leader in crypto.
The news exploded. Over 100,000 people devoured this meticulously crafted report, from seasoned investors to curious newcomers. His analysis wasn't just dry facts and figures; it crackled with insight, dissecting the implications of the partnership and its potential impact on the future of finance.

His deep understanding of the financial markets, technological advancements, and blockchain developments has made him a respected voice in the industry.

Dalmas is also the founder of BTC-Pulse, a crypto news site, further demonstrating his commitment to the field. He firmly believes that DeFi and NFTs are here to stay and will continue to drive financial inclusion.

Coming from Nairobi, Kenya, it is easy to see the source of his inspiration: Across Africa, millions lack access to traditional banks. Remote villages, limited documentation, and high minimum balances create insurmountable barriers.

DeFi, not just Maker or Aave, for example, but think of Bitcoin and USDT, cuts out the middleman. Forget banks with their limitations.
Even so, DeFi isn't a magic solution. The continent still struggles with reliable internet access, and educational campaigns highlighting the benefits of this wonderful solution are insufficient. Moreover, even for those interested, understanding DeFi can look like learning a new language.

Dalmas is here to help make the tech easy to understand and digestible, even for beginners.
The story of DeFi in Africa is still being written. Challenges abound, but the promise of a more inclusive financial future is a powerful motivator. With innovation and collaboration, Dalmas firmly believes that DeFi could become the key to unlocking Africa's full economic potential.
This possibility and its immense value motivate Dalmas to continue breaking key DeFi innovations and more across the globe. His engineering background further enhances his ability to deliver well-thought-out pieces that blend technical insight with clear, impactful reporting.

Beyond his professional achievements, Dalmas is deeply passionate about technology and politics. Policies drive adoption, and being at the forefront and keeping up with how they evolve is crucial for the sphere to mature.

When Dalmas is not closely monitoring the latest crypto events, he can be found in nature, exploring the picturesque countryside, and traveling with his family and friends. His love for adventure and discovery perfectly complements his investigative and reporting skills.
