Robert from Infranomics breaks down the Fed's bombshell report revealing that Cayman Islands hedge funds actually hold $1.8 trillion in U.S. Treasury debt through the basis trade—not the $400 billion previously reported. This $1.4 trillion undercount exposes how 100-to-1 leveraged hedge funds have become America's largest creditor while bank reserves decline and the reverse repo facility sits empty. The discussion covers SOFR spikes, Treasury market fragility, and systemic risks that triggered blowups in 2020 and April's Liberation Day volatility. Robert explains why populism and debasement make Bitcoin the superior asset compared to overvalued equities, melting cash positions, and newly-discovered gold supplies, while examining the silent depression's acceleration through AI disruption and deglobalization.
