SEC VS RIPPLE UPDATE: MOTION TO TEMPORARILY SUSPEND APPEAL GRANTED; WHAT NEXT FOR XRP PRICE?

▪️Closing the four-year legal battle opens a new chapter for XRP mainstream adoption, catalyzed by Ripple Labs’ payment products.

▪️XRP price must hold above the support level of about $2 to invalidate further market correction.

The Donald Trump administration has gradually fulfilled its promises made during the campaign period to the crypto ecosystem. The successful replacement of Gary Gensler with crypto-friendly SEC chair Paul Atkins has helped expedite the closure of several web3-related cases, including against Ripple and Binance exchange.

SEC vs Ripple Case Update

Earlier on Wednesday during the mid-North American trading session, James K Filan, a prominent defense lawyer, released court documents dated April 16 regarding the SEC vs Ripple appeal.

According to the court documents, Circuit Judge José A. Cabrenas granted a joint motion, filed by the U.S. SEC and Ripple to temporarily suspend their appeals amid the case closure.

“The parties jointly move to hold this appeal in abeyance, with the U.S. SEC directed to file a status report within 60 days of this order,” the court order noted.

Meanwhile, Ripple Labs agreed to pay a $50 million fine to settle the longstanding case.

XRP Price Analysis

After closing the first quarter in bearish sentiment, XRP has attempted to regain a bullish outlook in the past few weeks. The large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $206 billion and a 24-hour average volume of about $3.45 billion, has been forming a potential reversal pattern in the daily timeframe.

The XRP price, against the U.S. dollar, has formed a possible inverse head and shoulders pattern, coupled with a bullish divergence of the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI). As a result, if the XRP price holds above the support level of around $2 and remains above the YTD falling logarithmic trend, a target of between $2.8 and $3 will be achievable.

PANAMA CITY TO ACCEPT CRYPTO FOR PUBLIC SERVICES

Panama City Mayor has said the Panama District municipality will become the first in the nation to accept cryptocurrency payments for services, following unanimous approval by the City Council.

Unanimous Approval

The Panama City Mayor Mayer Mizrachi announced on April 15 that the Panama District municipality will become the first in the nation to accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment for services. The decision follows a unanimous approval by the City Council.

According to Mizrachi, the new payment system will operate through an authorized bank that will handle the conversion of cryptocurrency payments into U.S. dollars for the Mayor’s Office. 

This mechanism aims to streamline the process and mitigate potential volatility associated with digital assets for the municipality’s finances.

“My dear City Council has unanimously approved an initiative initiated by the Mayor’s Office, which will allow all citizens to pay their obligations and taxes in crypto,” Mizrachi explained, highlighting the significance of this decision.

The mayor further stated that Panama, often considered Central America’s financial hub, was lagging behind in adopting this modern payment method. 

He clarified the legal framework, stating, “Legally, it’s simple: the Mayor’s Office receives dollars, but there’s an intermediary who receives the crypto, transforms it into dollars, and takes it to the Mayor’s Office.”

Mizrachi indicated that a formal announcement with further details will be made once the agreement with the partnering bank is finalized. He emphasized the broader implications of this decision, stating, “This allows for the free movement of cryptocurrencies throughout the economy and throughout government.”

Besides positioning itself as Latin America’s crypto hub, Panama introduced a draft bill aiming to regulate cryptocurrencies and establish a legal framework for blockchain-based services. The bill outlines licensing requirements for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) to register with Panama’s Financial Analysis Unit (UAF) and adhere to know your customer and anti-money laundering regulations.

If passed, this legislation could provide greater legal clarity and consumer protection while fostering innovation in Panama’s digital economy.

Scott Bessent Talks about the Trade War and a Strong Dollar

Scott Bessent Talks about the Trade War and a Strong Dollar

Arcadia Economics:  4-15-2025

US Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessent, appeared on Fox Business News to provide an update on the ongoing trade war and discuss the state of the dollar. Bessent, who served as the Chief Investment Officer for Soros Fund Management before joining the Trump Administrtion, is a respected voice in the financial world.

During the interview, Bessent discussed the administration’s stance on tariffs and the trade war. He reiterated the administration’s belief that tariffs are an effective tool in negotiating better trade deals for the United States.

Bessent noted that the tariffs have led to increased revenue for the US government and have helped to reduce the trade deficit.

However, Bessent also acknowledged that tariffs can have a negative impact on businesses and consumers, particularly if they lead to retaliation from other countries. He stated that the administration is committed to finding a resolution to the trade war that is beneficial for all parties involved.

Bessent also addressed the issue of the strong dollar, which has been a topic of concern for some investors. He noted that a strong dollar is generally a positive sign for the US economy, as it indicates confidence in the country’s economic outlook.

However, he also acknowledged that a strong dollar can make US exports more expensive and less competitive in global markets.

Bessent stated that the administration is monitoring the situation closely and is working to ensure that the strong dollar does not hinder the competitiveness of US businesses. He noted that the administration is committed to implementing policies that support economic growth and job creation, which will in turn help to strengthen the dollar.

Overall, Bessent’s comments provide a nuanced view of the administration’s stance on tariffs and the strong dollar. While the administration believes that tariffs can be an effective negotiating tool, it also recognizes the potential negative impacts of tariffs and is committed to finding a resolution to the trade war.

Similarly, while the administration views a strong dollar as a positive sign for the US economy, it is also taking steps to ensure that the strong dollar does not harm the competitiveness of US businesses.

Investors will no doubt be watching the situation closely, as the outcome of the trade war and the strength of the dollar can have significant implications for financial markets.

However, with a seasoned financial expert like Scott Bessent leading the charge, the administration is well-positioned to navigate these complex issues and ensure the long-term success of the US economy.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

OKLAHOMA KILLS BITCOIN RESERVE PROPOSAL IN SENATE COMMITTEE VOTE

Oklahoma’s attempt to become one of the first U.S. states to implement a Bitcoin reserve has come to an abrupt end.

In a tight 6-5 vote on Monday, the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee struck down House Bill 1203, also called the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, despite late momentum and a surprise vote reversal from Sen. Christi Gillespie.

Gillespie, who had planned to vote no “up until this afternoon,” changed her mind after “a couple of constituents” reached out.

"A lawmaker changed their ‘No’ vote to a ‘Yes’ because they heard from their Bitcoiner constituents!" tweeted Dennis Porter, CEO and co-founder of Satoshi Action Fund, urging Bitcoin reserve advocates to keep pressure on legislators. “Your voice matters!”

Still, the effort fell short in Oklahoma. The "no" votes came from Republican Senators Todd Gollihare, Chuck Hall, Brent Howard, and Dave Rader, along with Democrats Julia Kirt and Mark Mann.

Sen. Christi Gillespie voted YES on Oklahoma's Bitcoin Reserve Bill.

She states that "up until this afternoon", she was going to vote no.

However, she was convinced to vote yes by "a couple of constituents" that reach out and persuaded her.

Introduced by Rep. Cody Maynard in January, HB1203 would have allowed Oklahoma’s state treasurer to invest in Bitcoin and other qualifying digital assets, defined as any with a market capitalization above $500 billion for the past year. At present, only Bitcoin meets that threshold.

An earlier committee passed the bill in February by a wide 12–2 margin, setting up Monday’s high-stakes showdown.

State Bitcoin reserve efforts

With Oklahoma now out of the picture, New Hampshire, Texas, and Arizona have emerged as the top contenders in the race to become the first U.S. state to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

It also marks the latest blow to such proposals, following recent rejections in Montana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

Meanwhile, on April 10, New Hampshire’s House passed HB302, a bill permitting up to 10% of the state’s general fund to be invested in Bitcoin and precious metals. The 192-179 vote sends the bill to the Senate for further consideration.

On the same day as New Hampshire’s vote, Florida’s House Insurance and Banking Committee unanimously passed HB487, which would allow up to 10% of certain state funds to be invested in Bitcoin.

Arizona, meanwhile, continues to lead in terms of legislative momentum. On March 24, the state’s House Rules Committee approved two complementary bills, SB1373 and SB1025, that proposed the Arizona State Treasurer invest public funds in Bitcoin.

The bills now await a full floor vote in the House. If they pass, the legislation will head to Governor Katie Hobbs for final approval.

On March 6, the Texas Senate passed SB-21, a Bitcoin strategic reserve bill, in a 25–5 vote after a contentious debate on the Senate floor.

At the moment, 47 State Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) bills have been introduced across 26 states, with 40 active bills still live in 20 states, as per the reserve tracker Bitcoin Laws’ data.

BRICS: 2 COUNTRIES SETTLE OIL TRADE IN NEW CURRENCY, DISCARD US DOLLAR

China is doing everything possible to advance the de-dollarization agenda and dim the lights on the US economy. BRICS members China and Russia recently sidelined the US dollar to settle oil and gas payments in 2025. The development adds pressure on the US economy as developing nations are using new modes of payment and not the dollar.

Reducing dependency on the US dollar will lead to the currency facing deficits and bring inflation into the homeland. The USD needs to maintain its demand and supply mechanism in the forex markets and failing to do so can bring its doom.

BRICS: China & Russia Settle Oil Trade in New Currency

Trillion-dollar asset management firm VanEck recently confirmed that BRICS members China and Russia have settled oil payments using the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin. This is a major step in advancing the de-dollarization agenda where the US dollar had a command in the oil and gas industry. “China and Russia have reportedly begun settling some energy transactions in Bitcoin and other digital assets,” wrote VanEck.

VanEck also wrote that the new payment method using BTC for oil settlement “might be bullish for Bitcoin.” BRICS members China and Russia could usher into a new era where Bitcoin is the new payment method and not the US dollar.

The trillion-dollar management firm noted that even Bolivia is following the route of using cryptocurrencies for trade and transactions. “Bolivia has announced plans to import electricity using crypto. And French energy utility EDF is exploring whether it can mine Bitcoin with surplus electricity currently exported to Germany,” they wrote.

De-dollarization is now a major concern as the White House has imposed tariffs on over 185 countries. However, the Trump administration has now announced a 90-day pause in tariffs but the damage has already been done. The BRICS bloc is now more focused on bringing the US dollar down by not using it for oil transactions.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

2 MAJOR KEY EVENTS ON APRIL 16: RIPPLE VS SEC SETTLEMENT AND POWELL’S SPEECH IMPACTING CRYPTO ASSETS

April 16, 2025 – Today marks a potentially pivotal moment in the crypto market as two high-stakes events unfold: the long-awaited conclusion of the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit and a key speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Together, these developments could significantly influence investor sentiment and shape the near-term direction of crypto assets.

Ripple vs SEC lawsuit Update

After nearly a decade of legal wrangling, the Ripple vs SEC case may finally be over. April 16 was Ripple’s final deadline to file its appellate brief. With no extension granted, the only options were to either submit the filing or reach a settlement.

Sources close to the matter suggest that a settlement has been reached between Ripple and the SEC. As part of the reported agreement, the SEC has dropped its appeal, while Ripple has agreed to pay a $50 million fine and also withdraw its own counter-appeal.

Crucially, there will be no official declaration labeling XRP as a security, which many in the XRP community view as a significant win for the cryptocurrency.

According to Attorney Fred Rispoli on X, Ripple has only two options by April 16. He explained that Ripple cannot ask for more time, so they have only two options. Either they go ahead and file their appeal, which he believes has just a 10% chance, or they announce a settlement or withdrawal, which he thinks is much more likely, with a 90% chance.

 FED Chair Jerome Powell’s Speech

Later today, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is set to deliver a speech at the Economic Club of Chicago. With U.S. inflation easing and election-year pressure building, Powell’s comments may hint at the Fed’s outlook on future rate cuts.

The market currently expects:

▪️Two rate cuts in 2025

▪️Possibly starting in June or September

However, Powell has repeatedly emphasized caution, citing persistent inflation risks and global uncertainty.A dovish or hawkish tone could significantly influence Bitcoin, altcoins like XRP, and broader equity markets.

SOUTH KOREAN PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER VOWS TO PUSH CRYPTO 'AS MUCH AS' TRUMP: REPORT

▪️South Korea’s presidential primary candidate for the right-wing party said he would reform crypto regulations “as much as” the Trump administration.

▪️He also vowed to increase investment into other disruptive technologies, including AI.

A candidate in the South Korean right-wing party's presidential primary pledged to revamp local regulations on blockchain and cryptocurrencies, according to local news agency Yonhap.

"To foster blockchain and virtual assets as an industry, I will reform regulations as much as the Trump administration in the United States," Hong Joon-pyo, a candidate for People Power Party's presidential primary, said during a policy announcement meeting on Wednesday, according to the report.

Hong, who served as mayor of Daegu city up until last week, said that he would work to incorporate blockchain technology into the public sector and administrative services.

Outside of blockchain and crypto, Hong also pledged to invest at least 50 trillion Korean won ($35.1 billion) over five years in research and development for AI, quantum technology and room-temperature superconductors, the report said, as part of his "growth driven by disruptive tech" initiative.

The prominent politician, with nearly 30 years of experience, had previously urged the South Korean government to adopt friendlier policies and regulations on crypto.

In 2021, Hong openly criticized the government's decision to tax cryptocurrency at the time, labeling the move retrogressive and urging the establishment of legal foundations to institutionalize emerging technologies, according to local news outlet Financial News.

South Korea's 20th President, Yoon Suk-yeol, was removed from office on April 4 after the Constitutional Court unanimously upheld the National Assembly's impeachment vote, prompted by his controversial declaration of martial law on Dec. 3, 2024.

With the June 3 presidential election less than two months away, neither of the two major political parties has yet nominated its candidate.

Hong is among eight candidates vying for the People Power Party's nomination. Meanwhile, Yoon's impeachment has given the opposition Democratic Party of Korea an advantage heading into the upcoming election.

Tishwash:  Oil Price Reset in Budget" Bloomberg: Salaries in Iraq Under "Pressure"

 Bloomberg , the international economic network, revealed today, Tuesday, April 15, 2025, the existence of what it described as "Iraqi government efforts" to reset the price of a barrel of oil in the 2025 budget, after it lost about 13% of its total value during the current month as a result of fears of an economic recession following the trade war declared by US President Donald Trump.

The network reported, as translated by Baghdad Today, that Iraqi officials confirmed to it that the government is currently considering "resetting the price of a barrel of oil" in the remaining 2025 budget, with the aim of determining the government's ability to cover operating costs, most importantly salaries, based on the new oil prices.

She continued, "The decline in oil prices places additional pressure on countries that rely on oil for their revenues, especially Iraq, which relies almost entirely on oil revenues to cover its operating budget and finance the reconstruction of its infrastructure destroyed by years of war."

The network also noted that adjusting the price of a barrel of oil in the budget will help the Iraqi government develop a realistic picture of its ability to cover operating costs, in addition to exploring ways to reduce spending as global prices continue to decline.  link

Global Currency Reset:

Tues. 15 April 2025 Bruce: (RUMORS)

Tier4b didn’t go today because three states Maryland, California, Mass and some Asian countries had banks that didn’t want to comply and get into the QFS system. If the banks don’t comply by tomorrow they will be sold.

Today President Trump had a closed meeting with Tier 1 Banks at Mar a Largo. He told them the Iraqi Dinar has revalued in Iraq at an international rate at a little over $6. It will trade up, plus have a Contract Rate. The banks are ready for us. The Dinar went live today and will be exchanged within 48 hours.

There are 5 crypto coins that are gold backed.

Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) could get notified tomorrow or Thursday.

DOGE payments will also start this week.

The R&R will be in accounts at the Redemption Centers.

17 currencies are going up in value. The Dinar, Dong, Bolivar are going up substantially ($4-$7 for Bolivar).

Tues. 15 April 2025 Global Currency Reset …EBS Activated With Trump on Telegram

Sat. 12 April 2025 The U.S. just triggered the Global Currency Reset (GCR) and the Revaluation (RV), shattering the corrupt system that’s enslaved the world for decades.

On Fri. 11 April 2025 a classified Tier 1 operation quietly began. A financial i*******n of $500 trillion is now moving through the global system through perfectly timed veils of tariffs.

Trump’s trade war was about taking down the rigged currency game. The U.S. Trade Representative is now enforcing currency revaluations as part of new deals. No more mamipulation. No more fake valuations. No more China cheating the dollar.

The Federal Reserve plans to print $9.5 trillion to buy out global gold. But the moment they move, the dollar hits ZERO. Gold will shoot to infinity.

Inside the Tier 1 Blueprint for a Silent $500 Trillion Reset as Global Financial Realignment Is Already in Motion

Over $500 trillion in frozen or hidden assets is now being introduced back into circulation under humanitarian cover. This structure prevents manipulation, bypasses corruption, and protects the mission: 80% of the funds directed toward humanitarian infrastructure, 1% for logistical discretion, and 19% anchored in U.S. Treasury bonds to stabilize the sovereign narrative and avoid inflationary shocks.

Tariffs provide the smokescreen. Governments declare economic wins as hidden financial pathways quietly funnel resources through redemption frameworks unknown to the public.

This operation will never be called a reset. It will be labeled as “liquidity flow alignment,” “sovereign debt stabilization,” or “post-pandemic optimization.” But make no mistake: this is a reverse-engineered correction of economic plunder. The theft of wealth, time, and global potential is being quietly reversed—without ever admitting the theft occurred.

~~~~~~~~~~

Tues. 15 April 2025 QFS GLOBAL TAKEOVER: 209 NATIONS. 97 OF TOP 100 BANKS. IT’S HAPPENING. …Carolyn Bessette Kennedy on Telegram

Boom. What we’ve been warning about is now undeniable. The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is no longer a theory. It’s rolling out—right now.

97 out of the world’s top 100 central banks are in the middle of a silent transformation. Not tomorrow. Now. They’re being hardwired into the QFS + RTGS architecture—the final phase before full activation.

What does this mean? It means the current monetary regime—the fiat parasite system run by Deepstate bankers—is being dismantled. Fast. Quiet. Global.

An inside source from military intelligence confirms:

179+ central banks are either already linked or in the final stages of integration. Another 80 regional banks are next. That’s 209 total. The entire planet is being absorbed into a new digital command grid—not controlled by governments, but by something far more powerful.

This isn’t about “faster payments.” It’s about total surveillance. Total control. Total reset. No transaction left unseen. No asset left untagged. The financial panopticon has arrived.

Banks involved include: People’s Bank of China – $5.1T assets, Bank of Japan – $5.2T assets, Deutsche Bundesbank – $2T assets, Bank of England – $758B assets, Swiss National Bank, Reserve Bank of India, Bank of France, Bank of Italy — all are in. Even the Federal Reserve regional branches in the U.S. are locked in.

Why aren’t you hearing this on the news? Because once the public connects the dots, it’s over. This isn’t just a financial shift—this is the backbone of the New World order.

The RTGS system ensures real-time, unstoppable transactions. Combine it with QFS and you get a weaponized, blockchain-driven grid with the power to erase wealth, deny access, or approve purchases—based on your compliance.

Gold-backed currencies. Centralized digital IDs. Total obedience. The BIS, IMF, and WEF want one network to rule them all.

This is the storm. If your country’s bank is on that list, you’re already in the system.

Militia Man  Iraq doesn't have a whole lot of purchasing power at 1310.  But they have an expectation of purchasing power...The deletion of the zeros project is definitely on their minds, especially the tribal leaders in Iraq, which includes politicians.  They're concerned about the deletion of the zeros project but they're fully aware of it and that's where the purchasing power is.  The average guy on the street doesn't have a whole of dinars.  They want purchasing power because they want prices to come down so they can afford to live.  The wealthy, tribal leaders perhaps, have a lot of cash and they put that cash in the banks.  They think they could get more money in and out of the country...Those folks over there are concerned about their purchasing power.

Good Evening Dinar Recap

XRP ETFS LIKELY NEXT TO GET SEC APPROVAL, BEATING DOGE AND SOLANA: KAIKO

XRP exchange-traded funds may be the next SEC-approved product that gives investors exposure to crypto, according to data firm Kaiko.

An XRP-focused exchange-traded fund is more likely to receive approval than other recently proposed spot funds tracking other major altcoins, market research firm Kaiko said in a report released Monday.

XRP's front-runner position comes because of the underlying token's high liquidity, said Kaiko. Spot volume for XRP on American exchanges recently hit its highest level since before a long-running lawsuit in 2020 led to delistings, Kaiko noted in its report. XRP is the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

Kaiko added that the SEC's prior approval of a fund giving investors exposure to the coin also worked in XRP's favor. U.S. asset manager Teucrium Investment Advisors launched a 2x leveraged XRP ETF earlier this month.

"It's hard to argue against allowing a spot product when there's already an active ETF like this, which is highly levered and more risky than a vanilla spot ETF," Kaiko's Adam Morgan McCarthy told Decrypt.

Bitwise, Grayscale, 21Shares, CoinShares, and Canary Capital have all applied to list spot XRP funds. The applications and others for ETFs based on Solana, Litecoin, Cardano, and Dogecoin, among other tokens, reflect issuers' growing efforts to address demand for crypto investment products. Kaiko reported that a Solana-based fund was the next most likely after an XRP ETF to receive a regulatory greenlight.

XRP is a virtual coin created by the founders of fintech company Ripple. The SEC sued Ripple at the end of 2020, alleging that its team sold unregistered securities in the form of XRP.

BRICS: WHEN BARACK OBAMA PREDICTED THE US DOLLAR’S FUTURE

When BRICS was formed in June 2009, former US President Barack Obama had predicted the future of the US dollar. Three months after BRICS was formed in 2009, Obama spoke in length about the USD highlighting its importance across the world. The former President revealed that investor’s confidence in the USD is high and will remain the same for many more years.

However, fast-forward 16 years to 2025, the geopolitical landscape has experienced a paradigm shift. Developing countries are advancing financially and competing with the US in tech, trade, and science.

BRICS is also looking to topple the US dollar giving Barack Obama’s 2009 prediction a reality check. The global financial markets are rapidly evolving with emerging economies looking to dominate the geopolitical spectrum.

BRICS: Barack Obama Had Predicted the US Dollar’s Future in 2009, Here’s What He Said

Former US President Barack Obama spoke about the US dollar’s future prospects when the BRICS alliance was launched in 2009. 

He explained that the USD is an extraordinary currency with immense faith and trust from the global investor community. “The dollar is extraordinarily strong right now,” President Obama said in November 2009.

And the reason the US dollar is strong right now is because investors consider the United States the strongest economy in the world with the most stable political system in the world,” said Barack Obama. However, in 2025, the political landscape is different and BRICS and other developing countries want to topple the US dollar.

Barack Obama’s prediction of the US dollar is now on shaky grounds as BRICS countries find the currency intimidating. The White House pressing sanctions on developing countries is what led the alliance to distrust the USD. Even former US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen confirmed that sanctions gave way for de-dollarization.

 The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Tuesday that the "annual returns" from investing foreign reserves are no less than $2 billion, according to his estimates.

Saleh said, "These investments are often short-term and directed toward US, European, or British treasury bonds, with the goal of achieving appropriate returns."

He added, "These investments are characterized by low risk and generate appropriate returns, and the invested assets can be quickly converted into cash without incurring losses."

Saleh pointed out that "profits generated from reserves are divided into two types: the first is realized, represented by direct interest, and the second is unrealized, resulting from diversifying the investment portfolio, in addition to realizing potential profits from exchange rate differences between currencies and gold."

The Central Bank of Iraq previously revealed a decline in foreign reserves for 2024, reaching 130.81 trillion dinars, a 10.18% decrease compared to the same period in 2023, when these reserves reached 145.64 trillion dinars.  LINK

Clare:  Parliament expresses surprise at the government's delay in submitting the 2025 budget schedules.

4/15/2025

The Finance Committee of the Iraqi Parliament expressed surprise on Tuesday at the government's delay in submitting the 2025 budget schedules to the parliament, despite previous promises.

Committee member Saad al-Nubi told Shafaq News Agency, "The Parliamentary Finance Committee recently hosted both Minister of Planning Mohammed Tamim and Minister of Finance Taif Sami to discuss the 2025 general budget law schedules. The two ministers informed the committee that the schedules would be sent to the Council of Ministers."

He added, "However, we still note the government's delay in sending the budget tables to Parliament for discussion and voting," considering that "there is a clear challenge on the part of the government in not sending the tables to Parliament without knowing the reasons."

Al-Nubi continued, "The budget was supposed to reach parliament before the end of last month, but we don't know the reasons for this delay." He noted that "the committee pressured the Minister of Planning and the Minister of Finance, asking them to explain the reason for the delay in submission, but has not received a response yet."

It is noteworthy that the Iraqi Parliament voted in June 2023 on the draft general budget law for the fiscal years (2023, 2024, 2025).   LINK

 Gold Soars, Risk Assets Collapse – Is This the Biggest Macro Unwind Since 1929? | Mike McGlone

Kitco News:  4-15-2025

Gold is holding near record highs above $3,200 an ounce, while U.S. equities, copper, and crude oil tumble. Treasury yields are rising even as the dollar weakens, and volatility is spiking.

 According to Bloomberg Intelligence’s Mike McGlone, this signals a profound macro shift — one where risk assets are cracking, precious metals are taking the lead, and traditional flight-to-safety assets are failing.

In this interview, McGlone joins Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron to explain why the stock market’s valuation peak may have already passed, how gold could rally toward $4,000, and why Bitcoin and U.S. equities remain highly vulnerable.

He also warns of a deflationary reset, deepening global recession risks, and a reversal of decades of monetary excess.

Key Topics: – Why McGlone sees a “profound reversion cycle” underway – Gold vs. Bitcoin: why gold is outperforming risk assets – How ETF flows are signaling the smart money shift – Copper and crude oil breakdowns as global demand fades – Why U.S. Treasuries may still be the ultimate safe haven – How tariffs, austerity, and inflation are colliding – The risk of a 1929- or 1989-style market unwind – What to expect if the S&P 500 breaks down further – Why gold miners may finally rerate if $3,500 breaks

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Tuesday Afternoon 4-15-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

CRYPTO NEWS: TRUMP PLANS TO BUY BITCOIN WITH GLOBAL TARIFF REVENUE!

▪️Trump administration may use tariff revenue to buy Bitcoin, giving crypto investors fresh hope worldwide.

▪️Trump wants strategies to buy more Bitcoin without adding any extra cost for U.S. taxpayers.

▪️Bitcoin jumps 15%, trades above $85,000, and could soon hit the $90,000 resistance level.

As global tariff tensions heat up and financial markets stay shaky, crypto investors have found a surprising silver lining. The Trump administration has announced plans to use money collected from tariffs to buy Bitcoin—yes, you read that right. With Bitcoin already down 25% from its recent high, the timing has caught everyone’s attention.

Is the U.S. government really preparing to buy the dip?

Here’s what’s unfolding—and why it could shake up both politics and crypto.

Strategic Crypto Reserve In the Making

Last month, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a strategic cryptocurrency reserve. The plan involves using digital tokens the government already owns and finding new ways to expand those holdings. Trump has asked the Commerce and Treasury Secretaries to come up with budget-neutral strategies—meaning the government can buy more Bitcoin without adding to the national debt or raising taxes.

One idea being discussed in the White House is using tariff revenue to fund Bitcoin purchases. This would allow the U.S. to build its crypto reserves without borrowing money or asking more from taxpayers.

While still in the planning stage, this move shows that the government is open to fresh ideas about managing public funds.

Lummis Pushes the “Bitcoin Act of 2025”

Senator Cynthia Lummis is also stepping in with her proposal—the “Bitcoin Act of 2025.” She wants to revalue U.S. gold certificates, which are currently worth less than the real price of gold. Adjusting their value could free up extra funds that the government could use to buy Bitcoin and strengthen its crypto holdings.

Bitcoin Aims for $90K

Bitcoin is showing strength again after bouncing back from a recent dip. The price has jumped by 15% and is now trading around $85,350, with its market cap rising to $169 trillion.

Right now, Bitcoin is holding above $84,000 and staying strong above the 100-hour simple moving average. A rising trend line is also forming, with support around $85,200, suggesting buyers are still in control.

Looking ahead, Bitcoin faces resistance near $85,800, with the next major barrier at $87,200. If it breaks through these levels, the price could continue climbing—possibly reaching the $90,000 mark in the coming days.

BRICS: US DOLLAR KEEPS FALLING AS TRADE WAR FEARS GROW

The growing geopolitical tensions have only intensified in recent weeks amid the United States’ new Liberation Day tariff plan. Although it has been scaled back in a myriad of ways, the nation’s currency appears to be paying the price. In an interesting turn for the BRICS bloc, the US dollar has fallen again as trade fears grow.

Interestingly, US President Donald Trump had previously threatened the alliance with 150% tariffs due to their de-dollarization endeavors. The warning never actualized, but his stance on their policies was clear. Now, his efforts to balance trade for the nation have effectively done similar to the global reserve asset.

US Dollar Struggles as Trade Fears Look to Benefit BRICS Bloc

It has been a rather concerning month for the global economy. US President Trump has ushered in a strong America-first policy in the form of his new tariff plan. Subsequently, it has seen continued concern over the potential for increased geopolitical tensions.

As the United States and BRICS have continued their faceoff, the US dollar has continued to fall amid trade war concerns. Although it edged a bit higher on Monday, it approached the mid-way point of April, reaching a three-year low against the euro and Japanese yen. It approached oversold territory in its metrics and therefore, jumped slightly. Yet, it is still in a concerning position.

Investors have shown they are wary of the greenback with tariff turmoil still abounding. This is increasingly interesting when it comes to the BRICS bloc, as they have been the face of increased de-dollarization and gold buying. Subsequently, the latter has reached record highs above $3,200 this year.

“The uncertainty is now at an intolerable level for most businesses in international trade.” Adam Button of ForexLive told Reuters. “Right now, the market is taking a dim view of future US growth, and that has come through most clearly in the currency market.” Where this goes will be interesting, considering how important the dollar’s status was to President Trump when he was first elected in late 2024.

US Debt Market Triggering The RESET | Francis Hunt

US Debt Market Triggering The RESET | Francis Hunt

Liberty and Finance:  4-15-2025

Francis Hunt discusses a major but underreported development in the financial system — a simultaneous weakening of the U.S. dollar and rising bond yields, signaling a deeper loss of confidence in the U.S. debt market.

Hunt explains that this rare phenomenon, usually seen in emerging markets, suggests the beginning of a systemic breakdown, one that his team had predicted years ago as part of a post-2020 "reset."

He emphasizes that the foundational issue lies in the debt markets, which are no longer being blindly supported by foreign or domestic institutions due to increasing fiscal instability.

 This erosion of trust, he argues, is not due to a coordinated foreign sell-off but rather a broader institutional retreat driven by uncertainty and risk aversion.

Despite the grim outlook, Hunt notes that this environment is highly bullish for gold, as it benefits from capital fleeing fiat currencies and debt instruments.

THE ECONOMIC STRIKE: COLLAPSE THE DOLLAR

Amid this chaos, China begins a strategic unloading of U.S. Treasuries. Not all at once – just enough to start the avalanche. -U.S Bond prices collapse -Interest rates explode -Stock market spirals -Inflation surges -The dollar’s credibility evaporates

Quietly, U.S. banks have begun repatriating gold from overseas, flying physical gold back from London to New York. COMEX inventories have surged by 75% in preparation for currency upheaval. China, meanwhile, is stockpiling gold, solidifying BRICS trade partnerships, and preparing to bypass the U.S. dollar entirely in favor of yuan-based settlements. This is the d***h knell of the fiat system.

The Final CRASH: Money Collapses Now - Byron King

Daniela Cambone:  1-15-2025

“Gold is a reminder that the U.S. government runs a dishonest money system,” says Byron King, editor at Paradigm Press Group.

In an interview with Daniela Cambone, King breaks down the surging global demand for gold—not driven by conspiracy theories, but by a growing lack of trust in the U.S. dollar.

 As countries watched the West freeze Russian assets during the Ukraine conflict, many began rethinking the safety of holding dollar-denominated reserves.

He also explains why, in a world where currencies are backed by promises, gold stands alone as real, independent wealth. “Gold is nobody else’s liability.”

Watch now to find out why King believes now is the time to own gold."

Race Against Purchasing Power Reduction

Race Against Purchasing Power Reduction

The Final Wake Up Call By Peter B Meyer April 15 2025

In today’s world, credit or debt-money is printed out of thin air in absurd amounts, and so much is borrowed that it can never be fully repaid to creditors. It took the US “216 years to accumulate $8.5 trillion in debt, and then another eight years to double that amount”.

Paper money works great for the rich, who can hedge their exposure to the currency and whose access to fixed-rate credit allows them to buy huge amounts of assets. But it is terrible for the middle class.

The whole slimy global structure is a fraudulent illusion. Fake money. Fake news. Fake GDP. Fake stimulus. Fake growth. Fake opinions. And fake statistics.

All fake money does is distort, mislead and deceive. As always, fake money can make some people, the ‘insiders’, richer by making the ‘outsiders’ poorer.

Ninety per cent of the financial assets of any country are owned by 10 per cent of the people. Want to make them richer? Just give Wall Street more fake money. And the overall effect is chaos, confusion and envy.

That is why one of the techniques of modern warfare is to counterfeit the enemy’s currency in order to destroy its economy. While this has made some people richer, there is no known case in history where ‘stimulus’ has made the majority of people richer.

Most people rely on the economy for their income, not the stock market. The economy is a complex web of give and take. Help the savers and you punish the borrowers. Benefit the exporters and you restrict the importers. Help the rich and you kick the poor. If you try to stimulate the whole economy by throwing money out of helicopters, all you do is raise prices and create misery and chaos for everyone.

Once the cabal started living off “printing press” money, they became dependent on it. So it has to print more and more to stay afloat. There is no example in history where printing money has made an economy better; none. Nor has it ever made people a penny richer. Instead, it always leads to poverty, chaos, inflation, social unrest and corruption.

The media promotes printing money as a “stimulus”. But there is not a single record in the long, sad history of state-run economies that actually reports improvement from printing money.

“Distorting” or “perverting” would be better words, as they suggest unnatural and disgusting tendencies. There are many things that can stimulate. But economies are not hollow or dependent. They are complex webs, intricately balanced and interconnected. Every string has two ends and many connections. Pull one end and the whole web falls apart.

You can encourage savers or borrowers by raising or lowering interest rates. But you can’t do both at the same time. If you encourage savers, you don’t encourage borrowers. If you stimulate borrowers, you don’t stimulate savers. No one has yet figured out how to stimulate both at the same time.

Economists say people shouldn’t worry because money supply and consumer inflation are under control. They are wrong. The numbers are suspect and the economists are missing the point. They can find almost any inflation number they want, depending on the assumptions they make.

Money Supply

What about the money supply? The nature of money has changed. Since 1971, the money supply has become less important.

Gold and silver were eliminated in 1968, when the requirement that the Federal Reserve hold gold reserves to back Federal Reserve notes, or paper money, issued ended.

Gold was permanently eliminated in 1971 when President Nixon ended direct convertibility. And it was replaced by “credit or debt-money”.

In the old-fashioned sense, people don’t have much “money” these days. They have little savings. And what they do save is not real money – it is a short-term debt instrument issued by their central bank, which is subject to inflation and depreciation.

Not Money But Credit

When people buy a house, a car or even a three-course meal, they don’t use cash. Instead, they use credit. What matters to them is not how much money they have, but how much credit they have available, and whether they have the cash flow to keep up with their rising debt burdens. Their purchasing power depends on the continued supply of credit.

In short, central bank money can disrupt, but not improve. And the more you pretend to stimulate the economy with printed money, the bigger the mess you make.

Disruption reduces efficiency, real investment and wealth, slows growth, causes people to make bad decisions and even makes them feel cheated. More disruption is ultimately self-perpetuating; the day the debt is repaid does not exist. The world is a false illusion. It is becoming increasingly difficult to hold the world together.

The Real Price Of Gold

The real gold price will be set by the market and especially by the BRICS countries. Once, the real gold price will only be revealed when the Comex, all the futures exchanges and the bullion banks have settled all their paper gold obligations in physical gold.

All paper gold will be worthless and physical gold will really be worth its weight in gold

Gold’s rise above $3,000 per ounce marks the beginning of a sustained rally. The momentum has only increased, as investors continue to push the precious metal to new highs.

Several forces are driving this remarkable rise, including inflation concerns and central bank buying. But what’s particularly interesting is gold’s relationship with the US dollar.

While gold prices typically fall when the dollar strengthens, the past few months have seen a reversal of this pattern – surprising market watchers.

The Relationship Between Gold Prices And The Dollar

Experts break down why the price of gold continues to rise and the precious metal’s complex relationship with the dollar. Recent changes in market patterns and key economic indicators offer clues as to where gold prices may be heading.

Why gold prices are rising ”

Gold can be a valuable asset in a portfolio precisely because it has a low correlation with other asset classes,”

and this independence from traditional market patterns has caught the attention of investors, especially as markets face increasing uncertainty.

The appeal of gold’s unique behaviour has contributed to its impressive rise, but it’s not the only factor at work. Industry experts point to other forces that have pushed gold prices higher:

Central bank buying: Asian central banks, particularly China and India, have dramatically increased their gold reserves. Investor sentiment: More investors are adding gold to diversify their portfolios amid inflationary expectations and financial stability concerns.

De-dollarisation:

The BRICS+ countries are reducing their dependence on the US dollar.

Market evolution: Gold prices are now responding to a wider range of global economic factors.

How gold prices typically move with the dollar Henry Yoshida, co-founder of Rocket Dollar, points out that gold prices and the US dollar traditionally move in opposite directions. He explains;

“A stronger US dollar will suppress the price of gold, while a weaker US dollar is likely to push the price of gold higher through increased demand”.

But Michael Petch, co-founder and president of Argo Digital Gold, points out that this relationship isn’t absolute.

 “When there’s financial instability, gold and the dollar can [rise as people] seek safe havens,” he says.

The complex interplay between gold and the dollar

“Large-scale government accumulation has added a demand-side force that can push [gold] prices higher, even in a strong dollar environment,”

Supply constraints: Mining strikes and environmental regulations can limit gold production. As a result, gold prices can rise even when the dollar is strong.

Geopolitical Risks:

Rising global tensions and trade disputes create uncertainty. This naturally drives people to invest in safe-haven assets such as gold and silver – sometimes alongside a strong dollar.

 Inflation concerns: Investors may turn to precious metals, including gold and silver, as a hedge against inflation, regardless of the current strength of the dollar.

Digital gold investment vehicles: Investment products such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have made gold more accessible, but also more sensitive to market sentiment. This is creating new patterns in the gold-dollar relationship. But this investment is not a safe haven, as it is not the real thing and not owned by people.

Foreign Policy Is Changing

More countries are reducing their dollar holdings in favour of gold, creating steady demand. The gold rush could continue and new all-time highs, according to Yoshida. He sees a strong outlook, especially if prices maintain support above $3,000.

There are several market indicators that can help to track the price of gold. Petch suggests looking beyond the usual metrics such as inflation rates and Federal Reserve policy. Here are the signals that experts recommend keeping an eye on:

Central bank buying: Continued buying by major central banks signals strong long-term demand.

Real yields: Gold tends to shine when inflation-adjusted interest rates fall.

US fiscal policy and the Treasury market: Growing concerns about US debt levels could drive more investors into gold.

Supply and demand: Gold lease rates and mine production levels help gauge market strength.

Geopolitical tensions: Trade wars, tariffs and global instability often boost gold prices.

***********************************

The Bottom Line

Understanding gold’s relationship to the US dollar can help to make smarter investment decisions. There are many ways to invest in today’s gold market. For example, gold bars and coins to hold physical assets for the long term.

Buying gold ETFs is not a good idea. The investor does not own the actual gold.

 The Cabal Is Finished

This year brings our liberation from debt bondage. Behind the scenes, we are already well on our way. Trust the PLAN, Q keeps saying: ‘We have all the information.

Our Galactic Alliance has the luxury of waiting for the perfect moment to deliver the death blow to the Deep State. The final decision will be made by Father/Mother GOD.

No wonder the Cabal is in a complete panic. The world is on the brink of permanent peace. This is an achievement of the highest order, created by patriots with the help of our extraterrestrial brothers and sisters. All foreign military forces and war materiel are returning to their home bases.

It is all over for the cabal. Everyone can look forward to a prosperous and healthy future. Very soon we will truly live as free inhabitants of planet Earth, evolving as our Creator always intended.

The strongest souls on Earth right now are those who understand that there are two overlapping realities, two different timelines. And instead of living in the energy of fear, they are preparing themselves to thrive regardless of the outcome of this spiritual battle.

For these souls know that they are protected and that they are here to merge both realities into one higher consciousness. They transmit truth, light and love for they know that nothing can stop the coming.

Real g reform will only come after a major currency crisis. And that’ll be far too late for most people. It won’t come until after a catastrophic property and stock market crash, after the bankruptcy of dozens of financial institutions and after many people’s savings have been completely wiped out.

But there is light … this is the right moment the world has been waiting for, because this is the moment to implement the new QFS gold-backed monetary system provided by our extraterrestrial brothers and sisters. Be assured, a golden era is upon us!

It is a majority enough to destroy the cabal and end our oppression if every waking person convinces just one sleeper that planet Earth belongs to us!

 Bear in mind that the new QFS money system will not be in place until the cabal has destroyed itself or the mob has awakened en masse.

“Tidbits From TNT” Tuesday Morning 4-15-2025

Tishwash:  Iraq awaits economic breakthrough following US-Iran agreement

Amid the successive crises facing Iraq, the national economy stands on the edge of waiting and anticipation, searching for a glimmer of hope that will open windows of relief amid the blocked financial horizon and the tightening noose on the local market.

Amid the anxiety of traders and the fear of consumers, the signs of the anticipated agreement between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran emerge as an opportunity that may carry within it the features of an economic breakthrough for Iraq, after years of suffering due to sanctions and regional tensions.

With every announcement or hint of progress in the negotiations, Iraqis' hopes are pinned on the possibility of liberating themselves from the shackles of complex transactions, and that this agreement will transform from a mere political card into a key to facilitating trade, ensuring stability, and protecting what remains of their purchasing power and economic capacity, which has been weakened by regional tensions.

Economic expert Nasser Al-Tamimi confirmed on Monday (April 14, 2025) that the expected agreement between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran will have economic benefits for Iraq.

Al-Tamimi told Baghdad Today, "The expected agreement between Washington and Tehran during the next phase is not only politically and security-wise important for Iraq, but also has economic benefits for Iraq.

This agreement will lift some US sanctions against Iran, especially those related to the dollar issue. This may allow Iraq to conduct commercial transactions with Iran in dollars through official and legitimate means, and stop the black money transfers used by most traders."

He added, "Among these economic benefits is Iraq's continued import of gas and electricity without any American obstacles or impediments. Therefore, the anticipated US-Iran agreement is of great importance to Iraq. However, if no agreement is reached and the situation escalates between the two parties, Iraq will be the most affected by this."

With the escalation of talk about a possible agreement between Washington and Tehran, expectations are growing that some of the restrictions imposed will be eased. This could give Iraq a new opportunity to regulate its trade with Iran through official and legitimate channels, mitigate the impact of recurring energy crises, and restore some balance to the local market, which has been chronically constrained by these regional and international challenges.  link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani's advisor: Annual returns from investing reserves are no less than $2 billion.

The Prime Minister's advisor for financial affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Tuesday that the "annual returns" from investing foreign reserves are no less than two billion dollars, according to his estimates.

"These investments are often short-term and directed toward US, European, or British treasury bonds, with the aim of achieving appropriate returns," Saleh told Shafaq News Agency.

He added, "These investments are characterized by low risk and generate appropriate returns, and the invested assets can be quickly converted into cash without incurring losses."

Saleh pointed out that "profits generated from reserves are divided into two types: the first is realized, represented by direct interest, and the second is unrealized, resulting from diversifying the investment portfolio, in addition to realizing potential profits from exchange rate differences between currencies and gold."

The Central Bank of Iraq previously revealed a decline in foreign reserves for 2024, reaching 130.81 trillion dinars, a 10.18% decrease compared to the same period in 2023, when these reserves reached 145.64 trillion dinars  link

************

Tishwash:  Economist: The US price war aims to cover inflation, not boost the economy

Mustafa Hantoush, a researcher and expert in financial and banking affairs, confirmed on Monday that the price war launched by US President Donald Trump aims primarily to cover the inflation rates accumulated in the United States over the past years, and not to boost the US economy as it is being promoted.

Hantoush explained, in a statement to Al-Maalomah, that “the halt of major economies, especially China and Europe, from investing in US Treasury bonds directly contributed to the rise in inflation rates without this being matched by actual growth in the US economy.”

He explained that "the United States relies on printing dollars and covering them through global markets when its economy is growing, but in the event of a decline in growth, this causes an exacerbation of domestic inflation, which is what the current US administration is trying to address by attracting global companies to the US market."

He pointed out that "current policies aim to stimulate foreign and local capital to enter the US market as a means of reducing inflation, and are not the result of real strength in basic economic indicators." End  link

Tishwash:  Rafidain Bank announces the disbursement of interest on the first issue of "Emaar Bonds."

Rafidain Bank announced on Sunday the commencement of disbursing the first-year interest on the first issuance of Emaar bonds, stressing that the disbursement process is being conducted in an organized and smooth manner to ensure speedy completion. 

The bank said in a statement, seen by Al-Eqtisad News, that "based on Rafidain Bank's commitment to its pledges towards investors and citizens who support the reconstruction and development process, we are pleased to inform you that the disbursement of the first year's interest on the first issuance of reconstruction bonds will begin on April 9, 2025."

The bank added, "We invite all eligible investors to visit the nearest branch of our bank in Baghdad and the governorates to receive their dues."

The bank confirmed, according to the statement, that "the disbursement process will be carried out according to an organized and smooth mechanism that ensures speedy completion," adding that "the interest is fully available and has been transferred by the Central Bank of Iraq to our account," calling for "bringing supporting documents or documents related to the bond when visiting to facilitate the procedures."

The statement concluded that "this step comes within the framework of our commitment to providing the best banking services and enhancing confidence in development bonds as a safe and stable investment option  link
