Arthur Hayes: The United States Is Heading Toward Treasury Debt Forgiveness

According to Jinse Finance, Arthur Hayes stated in a post that U.S. banking regulators have begun to take action, planning to reduce the enhanced Supplementary Leverage Ratio (eSLR) for large banks by up to 1.5 percentage points. This move marks a significant step for the U.S. toward exempting Treasury bonds from bank capital requirements. Although the current proposal only adjusts the overall ratio rather than directly excluding Treasuries, regulators may seek public input to discuss whether Treasuries should be completely removed from the calculation.
