The US is now using force to try to eliminate Iran's nuclear programme, and new tariffs on US household goods take effect. Plus, the chief executive of a Russian burger chain is petitioning President Vladimir Putin to block western businesses from returning, and the CEO of the fintech Revolut could be due for a major pay out. Mentioned in this podcast:US says it inflicted ‘severe damage' on Iran's nuclear programme Tariffs on household goods bring home costs of Trump's trade warsFake McDonald's lobbies Vladimir Putin to block return of western companiesRevolut chief in line for Musk-style payday at $150bn valuationToday's FT News Briefing was produced by Sonja Hutson, Kasia Broussalian, Ethan Plotkin, Mischa Frankl-Duval and Marc Filippino.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comI am travelling to the bitcoin conference in Prague this week - come say hi if you're there - so you are likely to get a lot of bitcoin-related content over the next fortnight, as I re-indoctrinate myself.Indeed, we are talking bitcoin and gold today — and we start with this.The Bitcoin Treasury BoomUK-listed Coinsilium (AQUIS:COIN), as flagged last Sunday, is jumping on the bitcoin treasury bandwagon. It has risen over 600% in the 10 days since I covered it. It was 6p. Now it's over 40p. Its market cap it £135 million. It only owns 25 bitcoins. (Worth around £2 million).Nuts. But there you go.I have taken my original stake off the table. I'll let the rest run, as I think it will. Its recently announced placement was four times oversubscribed.Bitcoin treasury companies are the new sh1tcoins. There will soon be more of them than there are sh1tcoins, the way things are going. It will probably all end in tears - for which we will have the FCA to thank, because it has outlawed investors from buying bitcoin ETFs and the like - but, while the music is playing, we dance. The other possibility, of course, is that productive companies follow the zombie company lead, at which point the entire corporate financial model changes. Every company becoms a bitcoin treasury company. I actually think there's a good chance of this happening, and I'll explain why in a moment.But let me just remind you — and myself — that owning a bitcoin treasury company is not the same as owning bitcoin. It's a speculation, a substitute, but it's not the same.(BTW I bought some bitcoin with Revolut the other day, and I found the process very simple - though I quickly sent the money to another, safer wallet. Strike and CoinCorner are other UK options.)The non-US bitcoin treasury plays are doing better than the US, which is interesting. Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) and Semler (NASDAQ:SMLR), for example, are not moving. (They will if bitcoin breaks to new highs above $110,000, as it is trying to do, but for now it's all about the UK and Japan, and the dumb regulations that have created this situation).Gold Is Now Number TwoThis week has seen something of a landmark development, meanwhile. Gold has overtaken the euro to become the second-most held asset by central banks. 20% of central bank reserves are now held in gold, against 16% in euros.Also of considerable note — and largely unreported — US dollar holdings have fallen below 50% for the first time in almost 30 years. They now sit at 46%. De-dollarisation is happening, folks, right in front of our eyes.If you are enjoying this post, please like it, share it and all that stuff. Thank you.This 20% gold figure compares with just 10% ten years ago. I've little doubt this will double again over the next 10 years - and we'll be at 40%.Even ECB Chief Lizard, Christine Lagarde, has noticed. “The accumulation of gold by central banks continued at a record pace,” she says. “Some countries have been actively exploring alternatives to traditional cross-border payment systems.”That last sentence is telling. It further confirms what we all knew was happening. It's not just as a store of value that the US dollar's central role is subsiding, but as a medium of exchange.Gold is reclaiming its historical role as a core international holding. Make sure you own some.If you are buying gold or silver to protect yourself in these ‘interesting' times, the dealer I use and recommend is the Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. Find out more here.In the same press release Lagarde says:“Offering solutions for settling wholesale financial transactions recorded on distributed ledger technology platforms in central bank money will increase the efficiency of European financial markets and the global appeal of the euro.”That's reptilian speak for “the euro CBDC is coming soon”. The EU CBDC Beast could begin as soon as this year. It will be rolled out first at the institutional level. Then it will be forced on the minions (which I don't think will work, by the way, for reasons explained [here] — but that doesn't mean they won't try).Turning to what might prove the Big Kahuna.The Real Crisis: Government Spending Can't StopWe have another rapidly developing plotline, and this announcement was widely overlooked by the press - probably on government orders, but perhaps because, as Occam's Razor would have it, they're thick. It is, in my view, a highly significant development, and is going to open the door to a ton of money-printing.

Bank of Ireland is warning customers about a dramatic increase this week in reports and cases of an attempted 'safe account' scam. Customers should be on particular alert for fraudulent texts that attempt to lure them into to calling a fake 'bank' phoneline - where the account holder is then duped into transferring funds to their secondary account, in most cases Revolut, and in turn a 'safe account', which is controlled by a fraudster. Reports of the scam to Bank of Ireland's fraud line and Text Checker service have been on the increase since the start of the year and this week have shown an alarming increase, with daily reports this week over 10 times the number of those reported weekly in April and May. How it works: Customer gets a text message to their phone, requesting that they call a phone number about a suspicious transaction/or activity. The texts claim to be from Bank of Ireland and can drop into the thread of a genuine BOI text: "Did you login from a new device?"; "Do you recognise this transaction?"; or "A transaction for [value] to [merchant] was declined and your card has been placed on hold" - followed by "if this was not you / if you don't recognise this / etc. please call us back on [callback phone number]. Callback numbers are usually landline numbers including 01 / 1800 / regional codes. The callback number will be answered by someone claiming to be from Bank of Ireland, and that there has been suspicious transactions and the customer's account is compromised. The victim is then asked if they have a Revolut / or other secondary account. If they say yes, they are told that they should move all the money in their BOI account into their own Revolut account/ or secondary account. The fraudster doesn't ask for access to the customer's account, and do not ask for any security details like PIN's or codes - avoiding common 'red flags' associated with fraud. The victim is then told they then need to move their money from their Revolut account to a new 'safe' account. Nicola Sadlier, Head of Fraud, Bank of Ireland said: "We have been seeing a concerning pattern in the increase of this type of fraud. This week's escalation has resulted in the highest number of reports in a single day of this particular type of fraud, so we need our customers and the general public to be vigilant and recognise the warning signs. "Our main advice is to look out for these texts and do not call back. And remember that Bank of Ireland will never ask you to move your money to another account to keep it safe. If you think you have been a victim of fraud, call the bank's fraud team immediately on the 24/7 freephone line 1800 946 764". What Bank of Ireland customers can do If in doubt, call your trusted numbers, phone number on back of your physical card or from phone contact details in your mobile App. See more stories here.

This is an insight from our previous conversation on growth hacking and building Revolut customer acquisition early on:You can grow fast without budget by trading value with the right partners.Putting your product where people already are makes them more likely to try it.Local, targeted efforts work better than big, generic marketing.It's more important to get people using your product than just seeing it.Andrius Biceika is a non-executive director at Revolut.

These days, we are using cash less than we used to and relying more on private tech platforms, such as Apple Pay and Revolut, to manage our finances and make purchases. The EU wants to keep up with consumer behaviour in this ultra-digital age and ensure it does not lose control of its monetary system to private companies or big tech aligned with political powers that dislike the EU.

Neobanks are 100% digital. They run exclusively through mobile apps, with no brick-and-mortar premises. They offer customers a user-first design, and promise low cost banking operations. There are more and more neobanks around, drawing in millions of users and rivalling traditional banks, although they don't technically hold the same status.  Don't confuse neobanks with digital banks, which are usually the online-only arms of bigger players in the banking sector. You may have heard of the SanFrancisco based neobank Chime, which is the leader in the US at the moment. But brands like N26, Revolut and Monzo are also bringing over their expertise from Europe, where the online-only trend is further ahead. All were created in the late 2010s. So why would I want to try a neobank then? So what about our traditional brick-and-mortar banks? They're not just going to disappear are they? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Le géant britannique Revolut annonce un investissement d'un milliard d'euros en France. Une occasion de faire le point sur ces banques 100 % digitales, qui séduisent de plus en plus d'usagers à travers le monde, en bouleversant les codes traditionnels du secteur. Décryptage. Les banques en ligne, aussi appelées néobanques, se distinguent par leur fonctionnement entièrement digital. Accessibles uniquement via une application mobile ou un site internet, elles n'ont ni agences physiques, ni guichets. Cette absence d'infrastructure leur permet de proposer des services bancaires à des tarifs très compétitifs, voire gratuits. L'ouverture d'un compte se fait en quelques clics, sans frais, sans rendez-vous, et sans paperasse. Les coûts de fonctionnement étant réduits au minimum, ces établissements misent sur l'automatisation pour assurer la gestion des opérations. On distingue deux grands types de banques en ligne : les indépendantes, comme l'Allemande N26 ou la Britannique Revolut, et celles adossées à des banques traditionnelles, comme HelloBank (BNP Paribas) ou Boursobank (Société Générale).Un marché en pleine explosionMême si elles ne rivalisent pas encore en taille avec les banques traditionnelles, les néobanques occupent une place de plus en plus importante. Selon Grand View Research, le marché mondial des banques en ligne, estimé à 67 milliards de dollars en 2022, pourrait dépasser 3400 milliards d'ici à 2030. Cette croissance est portée par la hausse rapide du nombre de clients dans le monde : il a triplé depuis 2020, atteignant aujourd'hui plus de 300 millions.Une solution d'inclusion financière, notamment en AfriqueLe succès des néobanques ne se limite pas à l'Europe ou aux pays occidentaux. Sur le continent africain, elles apparaissent comme de véritables leviers d'inclusion financière. Face à un taux de bancarisation encore faible, elles offrent des solutions simples, mobiles et accessibles à des millions de personnes exclues du système bancaire classique.Des acteurs comme TymeBank en Afrique du Sud, Kuda au Nigeria ou encore Djamo et Orange Bank en Afrique francophone participent à cette transformation. En combinant l'essor du smartphone, le développement du commerce en ligne et le désintérêt des banques traditionnelles pour les populations à faibles revenus, ces néobanques trouvent un terrain fertile. Reste néanmoins un défi de taille : atteindre une rentabilité durable malgré un modèle basé sur des frais réduits, tout en consolidant la confiance des usagers sans relation physique.À lire aussiLe Nigeria à la pointe dans la monnaie digitale de banque centrale

How Revolut maintains quality while shipping hundreds of features across over 50 countries4. Why Revolut favors “raw intellect and hunger” over experience, and how internal transfers (including ex-engineers and ops managers) become the company's most successful product leaders5. How Revolut's founders review every single UI shipped, and why this founder detail obsession scales rather than limits innovation6. Their framework for launching new products—from ideation, validation, and first user cohort to rapid “algorithmization” and scaling across countries7.

Filip Baturan is the CEO of Tanari – a decentralized finance application suite that's built on top of Citrea. With it, bitcoiners can enjoy the features and user experience from banking applications such as Revolut... but within a self-custodial and sovereign environment, where the user sets the rules. The discussion centers around Tanari's vision to make Bitcoin more useful and replace the current financial system, contrasting it with projects that merely embed Bitcoin into existing structures. Baturan explains that Tanari aims to deliver on Bitcoin's promise of self-custody and financial system replacement, drawing inspiration from the ideal financial system rather than specific products like Revolut. We talk about Tanari's features: including secure Bitcoin storage, spending capabilities, and integration with the Bitcoin ecosystem (Citrea, Bitcoin mainnet, Lightning Network). The platform prioritizes ease of use, employing Face ID/fingerprint authentication and social recovery methods. The interview also covers the potential for financial primitives like lending, borrowing, and Bitcoin-backed stablecoins, all within a transparent framework. The discussion also addresses the challenges of balancing user-friendliness with privacy and security, particularly regarding usernames and potential transaction traceability. Filip Baturan emphasizes Tanari's commitment to open-source principles, sustainable business models, and integration with other Citrea applications. The interview concludes with Filip sharing his background in ZK rollups on Ethereum and his enthusiasm for building on Bitcoin with Citrea, highlighting the unique opportunities presented by this technology. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Time stamps: 00:00:53 - Introducing Filip Baturan 00:02:04 - Tanari's Origin and Citrea 00:05:30 - Ease of Use and Recovery Methods 00:08:20 - Tanari's Features 00:11:04 - Open Sourcing and Fees 00:12:19 - Citrea Integration and Usernames 00:15:24 - On-Chain Interoperability 00:17:19 - Lightning Network Integration 00:19:02 - Business Solutions and Competitive Advantages 00:21:22 - Custody and Decentralization 00:24:48 - Reputation and Social Media Integration 00:29:22 - Filip's Background 00:37:53 - Scalability and Settlement Time 00:41:44 - Trade-offs and Self-Ownership 00:48:00 - Swapping Services 00:51:46 - Future of Bitcoin and Tanari 01:02:10 - Tanari's Name and Meaning
