TREE NEWS update: Paraguay’s president has resigned after the collapse of Ueno left millions of depositors locked out of their funds, with the bank failure affecting 60% of the country. The episode has revived Bitcoin’s self-custody argument, as depositors were unable to access their money during the crisis. No further details on the timeline or the president’s replacement were provided.
