This document provides an overview of the historical development of the US banking system from 1782 to the present. It discusses the chartering of early banks, the creation of the Federal Reserve System in 1913, and the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 which separated commercial and investment banking. It also describes how financial innovation eroded traditional banking by creating new shadow banking system activities and products, and led to industry consolidation and nationwide banking following the repeal of interstate banking laws.

The burgeoning onshore wealth management industry has its own unique set of challenges and positioning but it is becoming increasingly attractive for banks with the rising wealth of Asian consumers.
Since many of these domestic banks are still in an investment mode, cost-to-income ratios in the industry are steadily increasing. Intensifying competition from domestic and foreign players over more careful and knowledgeable clients and the recent increase of regulatory requirements and administrative work present real challenges in scaling up.
Questions will thus arise - how can onshore wealth managers scale up their business effectively and efficiently without incurring the significant costs of their more mature peers? Which operational investment should be given priority within a finite budget – back-office, front-end, staffing or product manufacturing?
These issues and more will be discussed in the webinar on Scaling Up Your Wealth Management Business organized by Private Banker International and Sopra Banking Software based on research that has taken place around the region and globally.

What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.
How can I sell my pi coins?
Selling pi coins is really easy, but first you need to migrate to mainnet wallet before you can do that. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.

However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
how to sell pi coins on Bitmart crypto exchangeDOT TECH

Assumptions on the Future of the U.S. Banking
System
1. Only a couple of hundred banks left
2. Few large banks dominate
3. Bank consolidation surge will settle down and banks will increase to
several thousands rather than several hundred.
4. Shift in assets from smaller banks to larger banks
- Share of banks with less than $100M in assets is expected to halve
while of megabanks will be doubled.

Are Bank Consolidation and Nationwide Banking a

Cons
1. Fear of decline of small banks and small business lending
2. Rush to consolidation may increase risk taking
Pros
1. Community banks will survive
2. Increase competition and efficiency
3. Take advantage of Economies of scale and scope
4. Increased diversification of bank loan portfolios: lessens
likelihood of failures

Glass-Steagall Act of 1933
• allowed commercial banks to sell on-the-run

• prohibited underwriting / brokerage services,

61. Erosion of Glass-Steagall
The development of money
market mutual funds
enabled brokerage firms to
provide deposit instruments.

In 1987, the Federal
Reserve allowed banking
affiliates to underwrite
securities, as long as
revenues did not exceed a
certain amount.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services
Modernization Act of 1999
─Legislation to eliminate Glass-Steagall
─It allowed financial institutions to operate both commercial and
investment banks.
States retain regulatory authority over insurance activities
Securities and Exchange Commission oversees securities
activities
OCC regulates subsidiaries that underwrite securities
Fed still oversees bank holding companies (under which all real
estate and insurance activities and large securities operations will
be housed)

Implications for Financial Consolidation
1. The Riegle-Neal Act and Gramm-Leach-Billey Act
= Number of banking institution
= Financial service activities
2. Information technology = Economies of scope
• Mergers of banks with other financial service firms became more
common
• Megamergers
3. Banking institutions becomes larger and more complex
organizations
• Use the full range of financial service activities

• Provide loans but can be paid through a longer period.
• Rates charged for these loans are also below the rates that S&Ls must pay

• FHLBS loan program provides a subsidy to the savings and loans industry.

– Regulated by state in which they are located
– Deposit insurance provided by FDIC or state
