Model shows US debt ceiling could be breached as early as mid-July
Bipartisan Policy Center in the United States stated that a model released on Monday showed that if Congress does not take action, the United States may hit the debt ceiling sometime between mid-July and October. The agency also mentioned that although the possibility is small, if this year's tax revenue is lower than expected, the so-called "X day" could arrive in early June. The U.S. Treasury Department has not predicted which day "X day" will occur, when the federal government will be unable to exercise its payment functions. Wall Street estimates that "X day" could arrive as early as the end of May (estimated by BNP Paribas), or as late as the end of August or the third quarter (predicted by institutions such as Bank of America, Barclays, and Daimler Securities).
Barbados-based insurer Tabit raises $40 million in Bitcoin for insurance facility
Tabit, an insurer based in Barbados, has successfully raised $40 million in Bitcoin to strengthen its balance sheet and enable the insurance industry to benefit from digital assets. The company announced on March 24 that its Bitcoin regulatory capital will be used to support traditional insurance policies denominated in US dollars. Tabit is proud to be the first property and casualty insurer to hold its entire regulatory reserve in BTC, founded by former Bittrex executives. Co-founder William Shihara expressed excitement about earning a regulated dollar return on Bitcoin, while CEO Stephen Stonberg highlighted the new source of insurance capital that Bitcoin provides. Tabit, a Bitcoin-backed insurer, obtained a Class 2 license from Barbados’ Financial Services Commission in January. The discussion surrounding cryptocurrency and insurance has mostly focused on aiding users in recovering financial losses and utilizing blockchain technology to enhance transparency in the industry. According to a report by Boston Consulting Group, the intersection of blockchain and insurance could present a $37 billion opportunity by 2030. There is a growing industry dedicated to connecting insurance brokers and underwriters with digital asset capital providers, with companies like Nayms and Ensuro facilitating these connections. Ensuro, for example, offers over 12,000 active policies with APYs reaching up to 22%.
