Cryptocurrencies

The Knightsbridge DAO is the 1st-of-its-kind, a DAO with a Broker, Exchange, Chain, Consultancy, Service Provider, NFT Hub and an extensive and growing portfolio of Tech, DeFi and real world assets. The Knightsbridge DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) as an organization represented by rules encoded as a transparent computer program, controlled by the organization members, and not influenced by a central government. As the rules are embedded into the code, no managers are needed, thus removing any bureaucracy or hierarchy hurdles. Taking the very best technology from a cross-section of industries to deliver the next step change in decentralization for financial services.

Governments around the world have been looking at adopting, regulating cryptocurrencies since the inception of Bitcoin. Ever since, the crypto ecosystem has been a super ride North. And more people than ever have hopped on for the ride.

We have also seen a massive shift toward digital platforms across all industries as a result of the VirusCasedemic. Political leaders globally have followed suit by taking steps to move their economies in the same direction.

The US Economy

  • The Advance International Trade in Goods report for November showed a deficit of $97.8-B, up $14.6-B from October. The Advance report for Retail Inventories for November increased 2.0%, while the Advance report for Wholesale Inventories for November increased 1.2%.
  • Pending home sales fell 2.2% m/m in November following a 7.5% jump in October.

Looking Ahead: Investors will receive the weekly Initial and Continuing Claims report Thursday.

Politics

After less than a yr on the job Ms. Harris is flailing. Her chief spokesperson, Symone Sanders, who worked on Mr. Biden’s presidential campaign, is reportedly leaving at the end of the yr. So, too, is her communications director, Ashley Etienne. Rumors about the dysfunction of the Harris team have leaked, and there are reports that her office has tense relations with some factions of the Biden White House. According to one November poll, her approval rating is 28%, 10% lower than Mr. Biden’s.

Have a happy, prosperous Christmas week, Keep the Faith!
