🚨 5 Major Banks were criminally charged for manipulating Silver markets.
These fines totaled $1.2B+ for "manipulation of silver markets through spoofing and price rigging".
Silver crashed 28% on Friday, triggering trillions of losses
Here were the charges:
1. JPMorgan ($920M , 2020): JPM admitted wrongdoing for market manipulation of Silver to the US DoJ.
2. Scotiabank ($127.5M, 2020): US DoJ - "Fraudulent and manipulative trading practices in the markets for silver"
3. HSBC ($76.6M, 2018–2023): CFTC enforcement for 2011–2020 spoofing
4. Deutsche Bank ($75.5M, 2016–2021): Silver fix settlement and CFTC actions for 1999–2014 rigging
5. Morgan Stanley ($1.5M, 2019): CFTC civil penalty for 2013–2014 spoofing

Between 2008–2016 five of these major banks systematically manipulated precious metals markets through spoofing, price rigging, and benchmark manipulation.
Regulators caught them. Fines and convictions spanned 2016–2025.
This was concrete evidence of market manipulation of silver historically that was swept under the rug.
And, it's possible markets are witnessing it again with the current silver crash of 2026.
Binance is about to become one of the largest buyers of Bitcoin and the market is still underestimating its impact.
Binance has announced it will convert its SAFU fund into $1 billion worth of Bitcoin over the next 30 days.
It also said that if the value of its Bitcoin holdings falls below $800 million, it will buy more BTC to bring the value back to $1 billion.
That means SAFU is no longer held in stablecoins. It is now a permanent BTC allocation with automatic rebalancing.
In simple terms: • Spot Bitcoin demand is being created • And that demand is ongoing, not temporary
This matters because Binance is the largest crypto exchange and a systemically important entity in this market.
When an entity like this commits to holding and maintaining $1B in BTC, it changes short-term supply and demand dynamics.
We have seen something similar before.
In March 2023, Binance deployed about $1B from SAFU into BTC, ETH, and BNB during a weak market phase.
Over the next year: • BTC moved from $22k to $74k • ETH rallied from $1.4k to above $4k • BNB almost made a new all-time high
This time, the full allocation is only into Bitcoin, not split across assets.
Because this buying is public and scheduled, other large players can front-run it. That often adds additional demand before the full allocation is even completed.
At the same time, several short-term headwinds have eased: • Clarity ACT is moving forward • New Fed chair is pro-crypto and pro-rate cuts.
Gold and silver have also corrected recently. When metals go down, liquidity often looks for another market.
This too could bring additional liquidity into crypto.
That doesn’t mean we will see a parabolic rally, but a relief rally is definitely possible here.
A "partial" government shutdown is now live after the House failed to vote on a funding deal.
Lawmakers may fix it when they reconvene on Monday — or they may not.
Because it happened over the weekend, markets had NO chance to react.
That reaction now comes Monday morning.
Until then, markets open with headline risk.
Here’s what traders will be watching at the open:
• Futures reaction at the open • Volatility spikes from policy uncertainty • Risk assets pricing a longer shutdown • Rotation into Treasuries and safe havens • Missing economic data creating macro blind spots
Historically, short shutdowns rarely crash markets.
But they do increase uncertainty — and markets hate uncertainty more than bad news.
Because this shutdown began while liquidity was thin, price discovery was delayed, not avoided.
A US government shutdown is basically confirmed at 12:00 AM ET tomorrow.
Polymarket and Kalshi are pricing an 86% chance.. US government shutdown as funding expires at midnight Friday.
This is a data blackout.
Here’s what we could be facing:
– The Jobs Report (NFP): The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is part of the shutdown. If this drags on, the monthly Non-Farm Payrolls report gets delayed.
– Inflation Data (CPI/PPI): The data collectors for the Consumer Price Index stop working. This means we won't know if inflation is going up or down.
– GDP & PCE: The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) typically halts operations, meaning no GDP updates and no PCE (the Fed’s favorite inflation gauge).
– CFTC Reports: The "Commitment of Traders" (CoT) report, which tells us how the big money is positioned, stops coming out.
– The SEC halts mostly everything except emergency enforcement.
– IPO & M&A Stalled: New IPOs and merger reviews get put on hold. If you’re waiting for a deal approval, good luck.
– Historically, shutdowns shave about 0.1% to 0.2% off GDP growth for every week they last.
The longer this lasts, the more the "uncertainty discount" gets priced into stocks.
Anyway, I’ll keep you updated on what he does.
I’ve studied macro for 10 years and I called almost every major market top, including the October BTC ATH.
