Our Automated Market Maker (AMM) innovates with a groundbreaking new financial primitive that can be assembled to price, trade, and settle any customizable financial payoff, including options & futures. It's a leap forward for crypto options trading, asset pricing, and risk management in #DeFi. Currently deployed on #solana with a bridge into #polygon, this innovation is the reason DeVol excels at trading multiple legs in a single execution at low cost w/ zero bid-ask spreads. 🤌 blog.devol.network/introduci…

The 2nd question: if there is an increase in broad money, does this cause inflation? Depends on what is being “chased”? 1. if consumer goods, you might get inflation as measured by CPI 2. if assets, you might get asset inflation (houses, stock market etc.)

5 - Treasury deficit spending financed though new Treasuries bought by the Fed increases both base money and broad money 6- Treasury deficit spending financed though new Treasuries bought by banks only increases broad money

3. The Fed buying Treasuries from non-banks increases both base money and broad money 4. Treasury deficit spending financed though new Treasuries bought by non-banks does not increase base money or broad money (!)

As a follow up, here is my summary: The 1st question: is there an increase in broad money? Base money = reserves Broad money = bank deposits. 1. A bank loan only increases broad money (new bank deposits). 2. The Fed buying Treasuries from banks only increases base money
