Good Morning ,
How The West Screwed Itself in Energy Geopolitics
The Tianjin summit revealed a historic energy and financial realignment, with Russia, China, and India reshaping global power away from the West.
The Tianjin Summit and the Power of Siberia 2
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin was more than symbolic diplomacy. The “binding memorandum” for the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline underscored a fundamental redirection of energy flows. What once fueled German factories and Europe’s industrial rise will soon underpin China’s long-term growth.
- Collapse of a decades-old model: Russian gas for European manufacturing exports.
- Sanctions backfire: By weaponizing sanctions and sabotaging pipelines, the West dismantled its own foundation.
- Eastward pivot: Russia is securing new, long-term energy ties with China.
India’s Defiance and the Breaking Point with Washington
India’s role is equally significant. Facing U.S. tariffs on its Russian oil purchases, New Delhi openly defied Washington.
- Strategic shift: Prime Minister Modi aligned with Russia and China at Tianjin.
- Financial independence: India is bypassing dollar-based systems through BRICS trade frameworks.
- Dollar erosion: Every transaction outside the dollar weakens U.S. financial dominance.
Europe’s Self-Inflicted Wound
Europe’s sanctions have backfired spectacularly.
- German deindustrialization: Higher energy costs cripple competitiveness.
- U.S. LNG dependence: Europe traded cheap Russian gas for costly American LNG.
- Asia’s gain: Russia found stable demand in China, undercutting Washington’s LNG ambitions.
Brzezinski’s Grand Chessboard Unravels
For decades, U.S. strategy sought to prevent a Berlin-Moscow axis. That plan has collapsed.
- Eurasian cooperation deepens: Russia, China, and India are now coordinating more closely than ever.
- Parallel finance emerging: Moves away from SWIFT and toward commodity-backed alternatives signal a structural reset.
- Strategic miscalculation: U.S. actions have unified its rivals instead of dividing them.
Why This Matters
The West’s miscalculations have:
- Weakened Europe’s economy
- Alienated India from Washington
- Pushed Russia and China into closer partnership
What began as an energy realignment is rapidly becoming a monetary realignment, with BRICS preparing to challenge dollar dominance.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Institutional Demand Grows With New Crypto Treasuries and SEC Reforms
Public companies and regulators are laying the foundation for a deeper integration of digital assets into the financial system.
Corporate Treasuries Signal Adoption
Nasdaq-listed Helius Medical Technologies launched a $500 million treasury reserve built around Solana, marking one of the largest corporate Solana initiatives to date.
- The company priced an oversubscribed private placement, raising $500 million in equity and up to $750 million in warrants.
- Helius will scale Solana holdings over 12–24 months while exploring staking and lending to generate additional revenue.
Institutional Capital Expands
Standard Chartered’s SC Ventures announced a $250 million digital asset investment fund backed by Middle Eastern investors, signaling cross-border institutional alignment.
SEC Opens the Door for Broader ETFs
The SEC approved new generic listing standards to speed up crypto ETF reviews on Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX. It also greenlit Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund (GLDC), the first multi-asset crypto exchange-traded product in the U.S.
Why This Matters
Institutional demand, corporate treasuries, and regulatory reform are converging into a structural shift in capital allocation. This marks a new phase of digital integration into global markets.

EU’s Landmark Crypto Law Runs Into National Frictions
Europe’s MiCA regulation promised unity, but national regulators are fracturing the vision of a single crypto market.
The Promise of MiCA
The Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation was designed to allow one license to unlock access to all 27 EU nations, positioning Europe as a unified competitor to the U.S.
National Pushback
Instead of harmonization, France, Italy, and Austria are raising concerns about regulatory arbitrage, warning companies may gravitate to the most lenient jurisdictions.
Old Habits Resurface
Experts point to MiFID as precedent, where uniformity broke down and hubs like Cyprus and Malta attracted firms seeking lighter oversight. Without consistency, MiCA risks the same fate.
Startups Under Pressure
While larger players see opportunity, startups warn compliance costs may drive them out of business, favoring incumbents with resources.
Why This Matters
The EU’s bid to lead in crypto regulation will hinge on its ability to enforce true harmonization across 27 nations. Failure risks creating another fragmented system that drives innovation elsewhere.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.
