Le risque systémique de l’arbitrage à “cours connu” (cas Abeille Assurances)
1. Introduction et Diagnostic Structurel La faille des contrats à "cours connu" (notamment le contrat Arbitrage) émis par l'Abeille Vie à la fin des années 1980 représente l'un des cas les plus fascinants de défaillance d'architecture financière face à la commoditisation technologique. À l'origine, la latence de l'information (cotation hebdomadaire des SICAV) agissait comme une…
The $16 Trillion Question: Who Measures Tokenization?
The numbers, first. Tokenized real-world assets crossed $30 billion in early 2026, a 300% year-on-year increase : US Treasury debt ($10.7bn), commodities ($5.1bn), private credit ($2.9bn), institutional alternative funds ($2.2bn) leading the mix.

Why Gold’s Low Sharpe Ratio Masks Its True Value as a Strategic Tail-Risk Hedge
Gold (Sharpe 0.4-0.7, Volatility 12-15%) acts as a reserve asset, inversely correlated with the DXY. Its low Sharpe ratio is due to no carry yield and custody costs, but it offers absolute decorrelation during systemic geopolitical shocks. Physical gold is now central to monetary influence wars (BIS Basel 2024-2025). Steelldy Engine 3.8 and Planet Labs…
