On December 12, former Morgan Stanley NFA trader Jeff Park wrote on the X platform that although the reserve management-driven purchase plan recently announced by the Federal Reserve is called "reserve management", it is still QE in essence, but it has been upgraded from "quantitative easing" to "qualitative easing".
Under the ample reserve system, reserves have perfect balance sheet flexibility due to a 0% risk weight under the LCR, far better than short-term Treasury bonds. This also explains why the SLR rules were suddenly relaxed before Thanksgiving and the $40 billion-a-month purchase plan was quickly announced two weeks before the end of QT.
Short-term Treasuries are, in short, the "approximate currency," while reserves are the "perfect currency." Moreover, Jeff Park adds, stablecoins are the most pressing "money quality" issue of the moment, which is why cryptocurrencies are simply not going away.
