Harry Potter Alum Credits OnlyFans With Saving Her Finances

Jessie Cave, who played Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter films, says she started an OnlyFans account in March 2025, posting ‘hair content’ and other material. With a £6 monthly subscription and occasional paid messages, she says she earned as much in a year on the platform as in her entire acting career, including a £15,000 day, and credits OnlyFans with providing financial stability and empowerment despite the stigma surrounding the site.

Policy discipline urged as AI boom meets debt and market fragility

The BIS warns that inflation, rising financial vulnerabilities and record public debt—amid AI-driven investment and evolving non-bank risk—pose growing threats to global growth. It urges coordinated policy action to maintain price stability, shore up financial stability beyond banks, and pursue fiscal sustainability and structural reforms; delaying steps could raise costs and worsen future trade-offs.

BIS warns AI hype could trigger a protracted investment bust

The Bank for International Settlements warns that current AI exuberance could morph into a prolonged investment bust, risking a sharp pullback in funding for AI companies and broader financial and economic instability. While AI could lift productivity, past tech booms ended in overinvestment and reversals; the surge in debt and equity issuance—including SpaceX’s IPO and a massive $25bn bond sale—raises the risk of a market correction if returns disappoint.

Barr Warns Deregulation Could Undermine Banking Stability

Governor Barr argues in a speech that recent deregulation of bank capital, liquidity, and supervision threatens financial stability by increasing long-run risk, despite short-term gains. He urges maintaining strong capital, liquidity, and consumer protections to prevent crises, emphasizing bank–nonbank interconnections and the danger of a 'race to the bottom.'

Barr Warns Against Shrinking the Fed's Balance Sheet, Calls for Integrated Central Banking

Barr Warns Against Shrinking the Fed's Balance Sheet, Calls for Integrated Central Banking

Barr argues the Fed's footprint isn’t the balance sheet size but its broader roles in banking safety, payments, and stability. Shrinking reserves or the balance sheet could weaken bank resilience and market functioning. He defends ample reserves as costless and essential, critiques proposals for reduced liquidity or more frequent lending, and urges an integrated, stable approach to monetary policy and financial regulation rather than trimming the balance sheet.

Central banks warn US-stablecoins could deepen dollarisation in emerging markets

Senior central bankers warn that the rapid rise of USD-denominated stablecoins used in international payments could accelerate dollarisation in emerging markets, threaten monetary sovereignty, and facilitate illicit activity and capital-control evasion; while some officials see faster, cheaper cross-border payments as a benefit, regulators are racing to craft rules and a BIS-led effort to tokenize deposits aims to counter the threat; EM holdings of dollar stablecoins could reach about $1.22tn by 2028, up from roughly $173bn today.

Solvency, Not Runs, Drives Most Bank Failures

Solvency, Not Runs, Drives Most Bank Failures

A long-run study across 160 years of U.S. banking shows insolvency is usually the root cause of bank failures, with runs acting mainly as triggers for already insolvent banks. Deposit insurance reduced runs but did not eliminate failures, so policy should emphasize higher bank capital, stronger supervision, and selective liquidity support to panicking banks. Strong banks survive runs via interbank lending, signalings of confidence, and temporary suspension of convertibility. In short, mitigating solvency problems and recapitalizing when needed are key to preventing costly crises.

IMF: Private credit won’t spark a 2008-style crisis, but risk remains

IMF official Tobias Adrian says private credit is a key vulnerability but incentives today are better aligned and exposure to private debt is smaller for insurers and pension funds; he argues the private-credit boom isn’t expected to trigger a 2008-style financial crisis, though the IMF warns that a prolonged Middle East war could raise systemic risks and nonbanks could be forced to sell assets, so vigilance remains.
