News Flash: Cryptocurrency vs Blockchain: the bubble deflated,and the blockchain to shift toward pra

After a slight increase in the token value, wide price correction, again, sets in the market. For major tokens, such as the price of bitcoin stands at and lingers around the price range of $7,000, Bitcoin Cash priceat $541, and Eth price at $282. Adding all this up shows a growing sign of weakness in the market.

While the boom in the underlying technology stands in stark contrast with gloom in the cryptocurrency market. As a newly-invented technology, the technique now is under the development by governments, financial institutions, and research center to equip it with our daily life.

For instance, a third of 120 Chinese companies in Fortune 500 are dipping their toes in the blockchain water, including the Chinese State Grid Corporation and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

Moreover, with the deflation of cryptocurrency bubbles, which shows in the form of a slump in token value, market capitalization, and trading volume, the market is now shifting its focus from the cryptos to the technology itself. Reports suggest that a clear business model and practical use case is needed to conduct a practical blockchain project.

【资料名称】:debt and deleveraging:The global credit bubble and its economic consequences 【资料作者】:麦肯锡 【出版社】:麦肯锡 【简介及目录】: The recent bursting of the great global credit bubble not only led to the first worldwide recession since the 1930s but also left an enormous burden of debt that now weighs on the prospects for recovery. Today, government and business leaders are facing the twin questions of how to prevent similar crises in the future and how to guide their economies through the looming and lengthy process of debt reduction, or deleveraging. To help address these questions, the McKinsey Global Institute launched a research effort to understand the growth of debt and leverage before the crisis in different countries, the economic consequences of deleveraging, and the practical implications for policy makers, financial regulators, and business executives. In the course of the research, MGI created an extensive fact base on debt and leverage in each sector of ten mature economies and four emerging economies. In addition, MGI analyzed 45 historic episodes of deleveraging, in which an economy significantly reduced its total debt-to-GDP ratio, that have occurred since 1930. This analysis adds new details to the picture of how leverage grew around the world before the crisis and how the process of reducing it could unfold. MGI finds that: Leverage levels are still very high in some sectors of several countries—and this is a global problem, not just a U.S. one. To assess the sustainability of leverage, one must take a granular view using multiple sector-specific metrics. The analysis has identified ten sectors within five economies that have a high likelihood of deleveraging. Empirically, a long period of deleveraging nearly always follows a major financial crisis. Deleveraging episodes are painful, lasting six to seven years on average and reducing the ratio of debt to GDP by 25 percent. GDP typically contracts during the first several years and then recovers. If history is a guide, many years of debt reduction are expected in specific sectors of some of the world’s largest economies, and this process will exert a significant drag on GDP growth. The right tools could have identified the unsustainable build-up of leverage in pockets of several economies in the years leading up to the crisis. Policy makers should work to develop a more robust system for tracking leverage at a granular level across countries and over time. One needs to look at specific metrics such as the growth of leverage, and the borrowers' ability to service debt if there is a disruption to income or rise in interest rates. MGI found that sufficiently granular data do not exist today. MGI's analysis provides support for several of the current regulatory proposals, including improving the quality of bank capital through higher Core Tier I ratios, monitoring leverage as a proxy for asset bubbles, and creating better macro-prudential regulation to reduce systemic risk. However, the analysis raises questions about some aspects of the current regulatory agenda, such as limiting gross leverage ratios (which did not change appreciably in most banks). Coping with pockets of deleveraging is also a challenge for business executives. The process portends a prolonged period in which credit is less available and more costly, altering the viability of some of business models and changing the attractiveness of different types of investments. In historic episodes, private investment was often quite low for the duration of deleveraging. Today, the household sectors of several countries have a high likelihood of deleveraging. If this happens, consumption growth will likely be slower than the precrisis trend, and spending patterns will shift. Consumer-facing businesses have already seen a shift in spending toward value-oriented goods and away from luxury goods, and this new pattern may persist while households repair their balance sheets. Business leaders will need flexibility to respond to such shifts. 本文来自: 经济学家论坛 详细出处请参考:http://bbs.jjxj.org/viewthread.php?tid=98232&fromuid=306664
