Clare: The only regional leader.. Nechirvan Barzani participates with world leaders in the opening of the Paris Olympics

7/26/2024

The President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, will participate in the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, as one of the prominent figures and the only regional leader at this global event.

This participation represents a milestone in international relations and highlights the Kurdistan Region on the global stage. It also reflects the role of President Nechirvan Barzani as a regional leader and an active and influential party in the international arena.

Relations with France

Nechirvan Barzani's presence reflects the strong relations between the Kurdistan Region and France, which, as one of the countries supporting Kurdistan in various fields, sees Barzani's participation as an opportunity to strengthen these relations.

Interacting with world leaders also allows Barzani to open doors for more cooperation and investment in the region, as participating in a major global event such as the Olympics enhances the image of the Kurdistan Region internationally and demonstrates its ability to play an effective role in major global events.

Another dimension of participation is that it gives Kurdish culture a chance to be in the spotlight, which can enhance the understanding and appreciation of Kurdish culture on a global level.

President Barzani's participation in the international event also enhances the image of cooperation between the Kurdistan Region and the government in Baghdad, as the region shows its interest in participating in major global events, in addition to giving a political message that reflects the stability of the region and its ability to interact with the international community in a positive way.

Barzani and world leaders

In addition to Barzani, France is preparing today, Friday, to receive a large number of heads of state and government, kings, and the First Lady of the United States, Jill Biden, in a unique opening ceremony for the Summer Olympics on the Seine River, amid tight security reinforcements.

The ceremony will also be attended by Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid, in addition to a large group of European leaders, headed by the new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who seeks to strengthen relations with France, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, accompanied by the country's President Salome Zourabichvili, and Moldovan President Maia Sandu.

The Olympics will be an opportunity for intense diplomatic activity, as the Portuguese UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will urge countries to "lay down their weapons", stressing the importance of the "Olympic Truce" called for by French President Emmanuel Macron.   LINK

Clare: 15 trillion dinars raises controversy in the budget

7/26/2024

The manipulation of the budget has sparked controversy between the government and the House of Representatives.

Economic expert Salah Nouri told {Euphrates News} that: "It is too early to analyze the amount of {15} trillion dinars, as it is now the subject of controversy over falsification of the budget tables between the House of Representatives and the government." 

Salah added, "Assuming that there is an increase of this amount in the operating budget, it increases the budget deficit, and increasing the deficit is a step towards a liquidity crisis."

The Parliamentary Finance Committee revealed, yesterday, Wednesday, different budget tables before and after its approval, with a difference of 15 trillion dinars.

Committee member, Moeen Al-Kazemi told {Euphrates News} that the budget tables that arrived from the Council of Ministers and were approved inside the parliament are the same as the government tables; therefore, the letter that we received from the Council of Ministers that the tables that were referred after the vote have a difference and a large difference in some chapters that reach 15 trillion dinars.

He added that the spending budget amounts to 211 trillion dinars; but the tables that were signed by the Parliament Presidency and sent to the Council of Ministers read 226 trillion dinars.
Al-Kazemi explained that the Prime Minister's Office sent the table signed by the Parliament Presidency, which included: 

- An increase in the amount of the ration card by 5 trillion dinars.
- Increase in oil revenues by 5 trillion dinars.
- Reduce fees by 5 trillion dinars.
- In addition to financial increases for the Ministry of Electricity and some governorates.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

UK travellers told to SWAP FOREIGN CURRENCY NOW ahead of coming SWITCH

"If you still have the notes from your travels you may find it hard to swap them back next year."

"UK holidaymakers are being advised to exchange any leftover Bulgarian Levs or Romanian Leu ahead of a significant financial shift which was due next year. Both nations are preparing to adopt the Euro, joining the eurozone, which will render their current native currencies obsolete and potentially complicate the process of converting them back into sterling."

"Bulgaria has been growing in popularity as a family holiday destination for UK travellers since 2018, with its beach resorts being named the most affordable in Europe. Hundreds of thousands of Brits now choose Bulgaria for their annual holiday each year."

"A similar situation is expected for the Lev and Leu, sparking concerns among tourists and expats. Mario Van Poppel, founder of Leftover Currency, said: "With Bulgaria and Romania joining the eurozone, British travellers holding onto Levs or Leu need to act promptly. "Once the Euro is adopted, it will become increasingly difficult and costly to convert these currencies back to sterling."

"He warned: "The window of opportunity is closing fast. If people don't exchange their levs or leu before the transition, they might face significant hurdles. Banks in the UK may no longer accept these currencies, and travellers might find themselves forced to travel back to Bulgaria or Romania just to get their money's worth."

"This is not only inconvenient but can also lead to financial losses."

Israel selects 14 participants for Digital Shekel Challenge

In May the Bank of Israel unveiled the Digital Shekel Challenge, inviting participants to propose novel central bank digital currency (CBDC) applications through the use of application programming interfaces (APIs). It was inspired by a similar BIS and Bank of England initiative, Project Rosalind.

Today it announced the selection of 14 teams. Given the deep technical skill base in Israel, it’s not surprising that around a dozen of the teams are Israeli.

We believe just two teams don’t have direct Israeli links. One is IDEMIA France, known for its offline CBDC functionality. The other is OxPay, although there are several companies that go by that name.

Apart from IDEMIA which has more than $3 billion in revenues, two of the larger participants are Fireblocks and PayPal (Israel). Technically Fireblocks is U.S. based but is Israeli founded. It’s best known for its custody technology and the Fireblocks Network and recently has been using that network to target payments. Fireblocks is also a partner of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) in the development of digital government bonds and digital assets.

The full participant list is:

▪️Bits of Gold
▪️Brinks Israel Ltd. + Committed Digital Ltd
▪️COTI
▪️Credics Technologies LTD
▪️Team Energy, led by Viacheslav Pozharskii
▪️Fireblocks
▪️Idemia France SAS
▪️Kima Finance
▪️Open Finance LTD
▪️0xPay
▪️Paypal Israel LTD
▪️Qedit
▪️Shva
▪️Team Levana, led by Doron Asor

CBDC use cases
Meanwhile, the use cases range from connecting the CBDC to other payment systems to split payments, conditional payments and sub wallets. The participants will also explore implementing various technologies while using the digital shekel for payment.

Trials run for three months start in early August.

RIPPLE- SEC UPDATE ON CLOSED-DOOR MEETING JULY 25

1. SEC did not ask Ripple to pay $102.6 million in penalty, attorney Jeremy Hogan says it was a legal argument.

 
2. SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit awaits final ruling from Judge Analisa Torres.

 
3. XRP hovers around psychological support level at $0.60, early on July 26.

"Pro-crypto attorney says Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple could settle in a “compromise” and not a win for the two parties. Attorney Bill Morgan, Fred Rispoli and Jeremy Hogan commented on the recent events in the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit, the closed-doors meeting and the likelihood of a settlement. "

"Pro crypto attorney Jeremy Morgan says that the SEC did not ask Ripple for $102.6 million in its filing. Instead, the regulator noted that even by Ripple’s argument the fine would be $102.6 million, far exceeding the remittance firm’s $10 million offer. "

"Ripple had argued in its filing that a $10 million fine would be apt for the alleged securities law violation.  

Attorney Fred Rispoli predicted that the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit will end by the end of July 2024. In a recent tweet attorney Bill Morgan commented on the closed-doors meeting with the SEC and said that a settlement is most likely with a compromise rather than a win for the parties. "

WHAT IS A NON-MARKET ECONOMY AND WHICH COUNTRIES ARE IN THIS CLASS

Nonmarket Economy Status under U.S. Trade Laws

The Department of Commerce has the authority to designate countries as NMEs for the purpose of U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) laws. An NME is a country that Commerce determines “does not operate on market principles of cost or pricing structures, so that sales of merchandise in such country do not reflect the fair value of merchandise.”

In designating a country as an NME, Commerce considers the extent to which :
(1) the country’s currency is convertible;
(2) its wage rates result from free bargaining between labor and management;
(3) joint ventures or other foreign investment are permitted;
(4) the government owns or controls the means of production; and
(5) the government controls the allocation of resources and price and output decisions.

"Commerce may also consider other factors that it considers appropriate. An NME designation remains in effect until revoked by Commerce. There are currently 12 countries, including Vietnam, designated as NMEs. Commerce designated Vietnam as an NME in 2002 during its antidumping investigation into Vietnamese catfish exports."

VIETNAM
"The U.S. Commerce Department said on Wednesday it has delayed a difficult decision on whether to upgrade VIETNAM to market economy status by about a week until early August, citing IT disruptions from the CrowdStrike software bug.

A decision on the upgrade that Hanoi has long sought had been due by Friday. The upgrade is opposed by U.S. steelmakers, Gulf Coast shrimpers and honey farmers, but backed by retailers and some other business groups."

"VIETNAM has long argued it should be freed of the non-market label because of recent economic reforms, and it said that retaining the moniker is bad for increasingly close two-way ties that Washington sees as a counterbalance to China.

Opponents of upgrading VIETNAM - one of 12 economies labeled by Washington as non-market, including China, Russia, North Korea and Azerbaijan - argue that Hanoi's policy commitments have not been matched by concrete actions and it operates as a planned economy governed by the ruling Communist Party."

Silver Falls As Dollar Index Rebounds Amid Key Economic Data Analysis.

Silver prices experienced a significant decline of 4.2%, settling at 81,331 due to the fluctuating dollar index as traders assessed key economic data. 

The U.S. economy demonstrated stronger-than-expected growth in the second quarter, with a 2.8% annualized rate increase in GDP, as reported by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis. 

Despite substantial rate hikes by the Federal Reserve in 2022 and 2023, the U.S. economy remains robust, buoyed by a resilient labor market even though the unemployment rate has risen to a 2-1/2-year high of 4.1%.

Additionally, the Labor Department reported a larger-than-expected decrease in new applications for unemployment benefits, with a drop of 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 235,000 for the week ending July 20. This reduction is partly attributed to the fading impact of weather-related distortions and temporary automobile plant closures.  

The previous week saw a rise in claims due to disruptions from Hurricane Beryl and retooling closures in the automobile sector. In a surprising move, China's central bank reduced its one-year medium-term lending facility rate by 20 basis points to 2.3%, the most significant cut since April 2020. This unexpected rate cut aims to stimulate economic activity amid global economic uncertainties.

From a technical perspective, the silver market is experiencing fresh selling pressure, with a 6.52% increase in open interest, bringing it to 29,188. Prices have fallen by 3,563 rupees, indicating a bearish trend. Currently, silver is receiving support at 79,830, and if this level is breached, it could test 78,330. On the upside, resistance is anticipated at 83,665, with a potential move above this level leading to a test of 86,000.

RKF Jr. says he would include Bitcoin, gold, and platinum in a basket to back Treasury bills

(Kitco News) – The list of politicians calling on the U.S. government to purchase and hold Bitcoin (BTC) as a strategic reserve asset continues to grow, with Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. becoming the latest to advocate for holding the top crypto in the Treasury.

Kennedy spoke during industry day at Bitcoin 2024, the annual Bitcoin conference currently underway in Nashville, Tennesse, where he unveiled a plan that could see the U.S. become the world’s largest BTC holder.

During a conference panel with Roundtable’s Scott Melker and Custodia Bank CEO Caitlin Long, RFK Jr. admonished the Federal Reserve, saying the central bank had the interest of bankers, not the general public, at heart.

“The relationship between Congress and the Fed is both parasitical to our country, and it’s a symbiotic relationship,” he said. “The Fed is not a public institution … The decision-makers are appointed by the banking industry. Its function with these cycles of quantitative easing followed by high interest rates are… strip-mining cash and equity from the American middle class and pumping it upward to this new oligarchy of billionaires.”

"The coup de grâce was the lockdowns during Covid, which shut down all the small business in this country, which is what we should be nurturing, and kept open the Walmarts, and the Amazons, and Facebook, and the oil industry, and the processed food industries, and Big Ag, they all flourished during that period,” he added. “And meanwhile, Main Street just got liquidated.”

To help start the process of leveling the playing field and returning the U.S. to a system of sound money, Kennedy recommended the creation of a basket of hard currencies and other assets that could be used to provide solid backing for the U.S. dollar.

“I would be willing to add Bitcoin to the balance sheet. I’m going to do that. I’m gonna actually do a basket of hard currencies of maybe platinum and gold and other hard currencies and begin issuing at least the class of Treasury bills that are anchored to hard currency,” he said. “Let’s say the first year by 1% and then maybe the next year by 2% to watch how that goes because that will inject discipline into the product and ultimately get up to 100%.”

“I would like to have the federal government begin to buy Bitcoin and over my term of office [and] ultimately have an equivalent amount of Bitcoin that we have gold,” he added. “Because Bitcoin is an honest currency, it’s a currency that’s based upon proof of work.”

 The plan, as laid out by RFK Jr., would see the government purchase enough BTC to equal the amount they hold in gold – currently estimated at 8,134 tons worth approximately $615 billion.

According to data provided by Arkham, the Department of Justice currently holds 213,239 Bitcoin that were acquired through various enforcement actions, meaning that to achieve Kennedy’s goal, the Treasury would need to acquire more than 9 million additional BTC at the current market price – equal to 45% of all the BTC that will ever exist.

For perspective, MicroStrategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, owns 226,331 BTC, and BlackRock, the largest spot Bitcoin ETF manager, controls 334,000 BTC.

 Kennedy said the goal of the move is to redefine monetary policy and enhance fiscal discipline within the federal government.

 He also appealed to the crypto community’s ideals of personal freedom, property rights, and governmental integrity, saying, “Bitcoin is not only an offramp to this inflationary highway which is the highway to hell, but it also is a way of restoring integrity to our government. It’s a way of restoring personal freedoms, it’s a way the middle class can isolate itself from inflation, which is just a form of government theft.”

As president, he vowed to reform the Fed, block the creation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC), and end “money printing” to fund budget deficits.

The BRICS UNIT: The Catalyst for a Revolutionary Global Currency Reset

The BRICS UNIT: The Catalyst for a Revolutionary Global Currency Reset

On July 25, 2024 By Awake-In-3D

WHY, HOW and WHEN the BRICS UNIT leads us to a groundbreaking gold-backed currency reset worldwide.

The new BRICS UNIT is getting a lot of attention these days. Over my 14+ years of being involved in the Global Currency Reset (GCR), the subject has never been more front and center on the world stage than today.

In This Article

• Understanding the UNIT Currency Initiative

• Timeline of the BRICS Summit

• Composition and Backing of the UNIT Currency

• Benefits for Precious Metals Miners

Keep Watching

Visitors enjoy awesome spectacle of Rome's Colosseum at night00:00/01:01

I have been reporting extensively about the new BRICS Gold-backed Financial System, and for good reason. I now believe that the UNIT System is the definitive model for the GCR and the subsequent revaluation (RV) of global currencies.

I am committed to continuing my in-depth reporting and analysis of the BRICS UNIT System here at GCR Real-Time News. This platform will remain the most comprehensive source of real-world, fact-based RV/GCR news and opinion for my readers worldwide.

While the BRICS UNIT System may not be the final iteration or event of the RV/GCR, it is undoubtedly the catalyst that will offer a completely new currency and cross-border payment/settlement system alternative to the global fiat currency debt system.

It is a model that will initiate the eventual global adoption of gold and real assets to back sovereign currencies.

What makes the BRICS UNIT System so compelling is its openness. It is not a closed, inclusive financial system designed only for BRICS Member Nations. It is open to any country, whether a BRICS Alliance Member or not.

It will even work with nations that remain on a pure fiat currency system. This ability to create exchange rate pairs between UNIT and Fiat based currencies is where our RV Currency Exchange opportunities will be realized.

It is expected that the Western G-7 Alliance will resist transitioning to a gold and real asset-based currency system until the last days before the global, US dollar-dominated fiat financial debt system completely implodes and freezes into its inevitable death.

This article is the first of a comprehensive four-part series on the BRICS Gold-backed UNIT Currency System.

Here in Part 1, I will explain the basic foundation and composition of the BRICS Gold-backed UNIT Currency so that you may gain a fundamental understanding of this revolutionary alternative financial system that will change the face of the global monetary system forever.

The UNIT is a significant catalyst for a global currency revaluation (RV), offering a transparent alternative to the fiat currency debt system.

The UNIT system, open to all nations, aims to back sovereign currencies with gold and real assets.

The upcoming BRICS Summit will be pivotal in its adoption, marking a significant shift towards a stable, efficient global monetary framework.

BRICS UNIT Currency Initiative

The BRICS nations are working to enhance economic cooperation by promoting local currencies in international trade.

A key proposal is the UNIT, a gold-backed digital asset operating on a blockchain platform. This initiative aims to provide a stable and reliable medium of exchange, leveraging gold’s intrinsic value and blockchain technology’s efficiency.

BRICS Summit Timeline

A critical decision regarding the UNIT currency will be made at the upcoming BRICS Summit, scheduled for October 22 to 24, 2024, in Kazan, Russia.

The summit will bring together BRICS leaders to discuss the strategic direction and operational aspects of the UNIT, potentially setting the stage for its adoption.

Composition and Backing of the BRICS UNIT

The UNIT currency will be uniquely structured to ensure stability and value. Each UNIT will be backed by a reserve basket composed of 40% gold, with the remaining 60% consisting of participating BRICS currencies, all convertible into gold.

No single currency will have a weight greater than 30% in gold terms, ensuring a balanced and diversified reserve. This structure aims to mitigate risks and enhance confidence in the UNIT currency.

LISTEN TO THE “ENDGAME GCR” PODCAST: Gold-Backed Currency Exchange Rates Revealed

Potential Winners from BRICS UNIT Gold Demand

The adoption of the UNIT currency is anticipated to have significant economic implications, particularly benefiting precious metals miners.

Companies listed on the Australian and Canadian stock exchanges, major players in the global precious metals mining industry, stand to gain from the increased demand for gold that the UNIT currency would generate.

UNIT Ecosystem Design

The UNIT currency will be created through a blockchain-based node system.

Participants will mint UNITs by depositing corresponding values of gold and BRICS currencies at these nodes. The ecosystem will rely on decentralized blockchain-based synchronization for integrity, ensuring transparent and secure transactions.

The UNIT is not intended to replace local currencies in domestic transactions but will function alongside them, providing an additional medium for international trade and financial operations.

Transaction Costs

One key advantage of the UNIT currency system is its potential to reduce transaction costs.

Processing fees for transactions on the UNIT blockchain are expected to be lower than those associated with traditional payment systems, such as bank wires.

This cost-efficiency could make the UNIT an attractive option for businesses and financial institutions engaged in cross-border transactions.

Governance and Rules

The UNIT ecosystem’s governance will be structured around a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), supported by a legally recognized international intergovernmental organization (IIO).

Decisions within the IIO will be made through super-majority votes by nodes, ensuring a democratic and transparent governance process.

Currency Eligibility for UNIT

To be eligible for inclusion in the reserve basket backing the UNIT, a currency must have price discovery in gold terms.

This requirement ensures the value of the currencies in the reserve is transparent and reliable. Notably, UNITs will not be redeemable for the underlying reserves directly.

Redemption will only be possible through a buyout procedure conducted by a node, maintaining the reserve system’s stability and integrity.

The Bottom Line

The proposed UNIT currency represents a significant innovation in international finance, combining gold’s stability with blockchain technology’s efficiency. The upcoming BRICS Summit will be a pivotal moment in determining this initiative’s future, with the potential to reshape global trade and financial transactions.

This four-part series will continue to explore the intricacies and implications of the BRICS gold-backed UNIT currency system, offering a comprehensive understanding of this groundbreaking development in global finance.

The BRICS UNIT system is not a closed financial system but is open to any country, including those outside the BRICS alliance and those operating on a fiat currency system.

This inclusivity could lead to opportunities for RV currency exchanges. The Western G-7 Alliance might resist transitioning to a gold and real asset-backed currency system until it becomes unavoidable.

However, the BRICS UNIT system is poised to be a catalyst, initiating the global adoption of gold and real assets to back sovereign currencies.

Al-Nusairi said, in an interview with "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the stability of the exchange rate in the parallel market will remain in a state of fluctuation until the completion of the measures currently taken to implement the stages of financial and banking reform specified in Axis Twelve and Articles 1 to 7 and the daily efforts made by the Monetary Authority to complete the regulation of foreign trade financing and strengthen and reform the public and private banking sector

Which focus on compliance with international standards and agreements and ongoing negotiations with the US Treasury and global banks and the completion of the selection of the international auditing company to audit foreign transfers for banks to enhance their balances in foreign currencies that deal in currencies other than the US dollar and the completion of the final agreements with Chinese correspondent banks to start dealing in the Chinese yuan after the temporary suspension of foreign transfers with China, as well as helping private banks find correspondent banks to deal with them after the Central Bank's decision to cancel the electronic platform inevitably during this year."

 He added, "The information confirms that there will be a breakthrough very soon by completing the above procedures and finding other correspondent banks to deal in Chinese Yuan, UAE Dirham and Euro. Efforts are also continuing with the US Treasury and the company tasked with auditing foreign transfers of the sanctioned banks in order to lift the restrictions on them by using the US dollar."

 Al-Nusairi explained: “What also needs to be completed to reform the private banking sector is taking the decision to merge the willing banks as well as the weak and troubled banks in order to reach the real size of banking activity that covers the actual need for economic requirements, and the urgent need to restore work when the electronic platform is cancelled,” stressing that “the important measure that the government is responsible for is to stop illegal imports and cancel unofficial border crossings.”

 He continued: “We must not forget, clearly and precisely, that there is an organized lobby working against achieving monetary stability, led and implemented by multiple parties linked to speculators and corrupt people who have an agenda to weaken the national economy and harm it by fabricating news, statements and short-sighted economic analyses and transforming them from reassuring news for the market and citizens into news that confuses the market and creates panic among citizens, and this is what is actually happening now.”

 Al-Nusairi explained that "the return of stability in the exchange rate to its targeted and balanced rates in the parallel trading market is achieved with the support of the relevant authorities in the government by activating other productive sectors and supporting the procedures of the Central Bank in implementing its plans to reform the financial and banking sector

And draw up clear financial policies in coordination with the monetary authority and its currently approved applications and tools and overcoming the challenges of achieving economic stability, which means achieving stability in the financial and monetary system.

This is not only the duty of the Central Bank alone, but rather it is a basic duty of financial policy and the government's methodology in managing the economy and activating sources of national income other than oil and supporting, protecting and encouraging local production and generalizing the activation of dealing in the Iraqi dinar in all internal monetary trading activities and expanding the use of electronic payment methods whenever possible."

He concluded his speech by saying: "My expectations are that the exchange rate will return to stability after completing the reform, regulatory and negotiation procedures, and this does not take a long time."  link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

XRP ETF Expected as Ripple Partner SBI Enters US ETF Market

SBI Holdings plans to enter the US ETF market, sparking speculation of an XRP ETF due to its strong partnership with Ripple and digital asset focus.

Ripple partner SBI Holdings is making headlines as it prepares to enter the ETF market. This move has led to speculation about a potential XRP ETF, given SBI’s strong partnership and association with Ripple, a company that holds the largest share of XRP.

For instance, on July 1, SBI Holdings began minting non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for the upcoming 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Japan. SBI leaders have also consistently endorsed XRP.

Now, a local report reveals that SBI Holdings plans to establish an investment management company with Franklin Templeton, a major US investment firm. This new venture will focus on digital assets, with SBI holding a 51% stake and Franklin Templeton 49%.

The new company from SBI Holdings and Franklin Templeton, expected to form by the end of the year, will focus on crypto assets, reports suggest. Notably, SBI will hold 51% of the company, while Franklin Templeton will hold 49%.

Launching XRP ETF Makes Sense
In June, Ripple President Monica Long had argued that launching an XRP spot ETF in the US market makes sense.

She highlighted that XRP, consistently among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, meets key criteria for such an investment product. However, Nate Geraci, President of The ETF Store, suggested that the market is not ready for an XRP spot ETF. He noted that an XRP futures ETF must precede a spot ETF, emphasizing the need for a regulated trading history.

Industry Opinions on XRP
Recall Yoshitaka Kitao, Chairman and CEO of SBI Holdings, had shared his optimistic views on XRP’s future, expressing confidence that XRP would benefit significantly if Ripple ultimately wins its ongoing legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

On his hand, Crypto expert The Bearable Bull predicts that XRP will hit new all-time highs this cycle. He asserts there’s “0% chance XRP won’t go to new all-time highs.” According to him, XRP’s price has often depended on Bitcoin’s rise. With the approval of a BTC ETF and new record values, he expects XRP ETFs in 2025.

The Bearable Bull identifies several bullish catalysts for XRP. These include its relisting on all exchanges, the launch of AMMs, the Xahau sidechain, Ripple’s stablecoin, and the Metaco custody solution. He also mentions a potential Ripple IPO, increased political focus on crypto, and expected regulatory clarity. Additionally, Ripple’s legal case is likely to conclude this summer.

Gold price collapses to two-week low amid robust US economic data

—Gold prices fall 5% from July 17 peak of $2,483 to $2,364.
—US Q2 GDP beats expectations, strengthening the US Dollar and impacting gold.
—Market certainty grows for a Fed rate cut in September as Treasury yields decline.

Gold price tumbled to a two-week low on Thursday after the US Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that the economy in the United States (US) fared better than expected in the second quarter of 2024. This weighed on the precious metal, which lost over 1.30%, and XAU/USD trades at $2,364 at the time of writing.

Bullion prices hit their highest level on July 17, at $2,483; since then, they have fallen about 5% toward the current spot price. XAY/USD’s fall is mostly attributed to profit-taking as US Treasury yields also dropped while the Greenback remained firm.

US data revealed that the Gross Domestic Product in Q2 was better than expected, crushing the first-quarter numbers. Meanwhile, the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits dipped compared to the week ending July 30. Durable Goods Orders contracted more than -6%, though excluding aircraft and transport, they recovered from May’s drop.

Despite all that, the US 10-year Treasury note coupon edged lower by more than four basis points (bps) and ended at 4.245% on Thursday. According to the CME FedWatch Tool data, investors seem 100% certain that the Federal Reserve will slash interest rates a quarter of a percentage point at the September meeting.

Daily digest market movers: Gold price on the backfoot as US GDP advances
—US GDP for Q2 2024 jumped from 1.4% to 2.8% QoQ, exceeding forecasts of 2% on its advance reading.
—US Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending July 20 rose by 235K, less than the estimated 238K and lower than the previous week's 245K.
—US Durable Goods Orders plummeted by -6.6% MoM in June, significantly below the estimated 0.3%. However, Core Durable Goods, which excludes aircraft, expanded by 0.5% MoM, up from -0.1% and above the consensus projection of 0.2%.
—The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, the Core PCE, is expected to dip from 2.6% to 2.5% year-over-year (YoY).

Copper: Demand expectations melt down – TDS
7/25/2024

Prices are more likely to overshoot to the downside, notwithstanding the likely overly pessimistic sentiment surrounding demand, TDS senior commodity strategist Daniel Ghali notes.

Demand sentiment may be nearing a local bottom
Our gauge of demand sentiment embedded within the cross-section of commodities prices is now nearing its lowest levels of the year. These levels are now quantitatively inconsistent with recent history, and considering macro vol has been fairly muted, commodity demand sentiment now appears oversold.

This is a massive shift from just a few short months ago when demand sentiment appeared extremely overbought, contributing to the speculative fervor that catalyzed a momentous rally in Copper prices. Today, we now estimate that 80% of discretionary length in the red metal has already been liquidated, and we now see signs that the top traders in Shanghai are notably covering their shorts.

That being said, CTA trend followers still hold a substantial amount of dry-powder to sell and now have only a narrow margin of safety against selling programs. In fact, our simulations of future prices also suggest that a flat tape can now spark large-scale CTA selling activity over the next week. Overall, this suggests that prices are more likely to overshoot to the downside, notwithstanding the likely overly pessimistic sentiment surrounding demand.

Setting Sail for Success: TLIP and IOTA’s Role in Maritime Advancements through the EU-Funded MISSION Project

—The EU-funded MISSION project aims to address the maritime industry’s challenges by leveraging IOTA’s TLIP infrastructure, which uses distributed ledger technology for secure and seamless data sharing.

—The MISSION project also aims to integrate TLIP with AI-driven smart contracts thereby enhancing responsiveness to exchanged data.

Maritime transport, which accounts for nearly 80% of the global trade has been facing major challenges with the fragmented IT infrastructure. So far, this sector has been using disparate IT systems used by different intermediaries within the supply chain involving port community systems and fleet performance management systems.

Although these systems can automate data for real-time data sharing, they usually operate in isolation and separately leading to resource-intensive efforts in order to maintain essential information. However, this inefficiency in real-time communication largely disrupts the maritime supply chain as all actors are not in sync to receive the updated information.

In the absence of a comprehensive system for planning and monitoring port operations and sea traffic, most maritime ports operate the ships on a first-come-first-serve basis instead of working in a well-orchestrated and planned scheme. this leads to greater inefficiencies and delays within the maritime industry.

In order to address all these challenges, the EU-funded MISSION project is working on a new communication and logistics platform to optimize planning, orchestrate port operations, and coordinate port traffic. Thus, to solve all the crucial challenges associated with the maritime industry, project MISSION will leverage IOTA’s TLIP infrastructure.

Leveraging IOTA’s TLIP Infrastructure
The IOTA TLIP infrastructure uses distributed ledger technology to facilitate seamless integration with existing systems while using APIs and state-of-the-art data standards, per the CNF report. TLIP’s role would be very crucial in the implementation of the MISSION project, thereby ensuring the security and auditability of shared data even within complex environments.

One of the key advantages of TLIP is inherent interoperability which facilitates a seamless integration of the MISSION platform into the European Blockchain Service Infrastructure (EBSI), as updated by Crypto News Flash. This integration will boost the platform’s data-sharing capabilities significantly.

Along with being crucial for just-in-time port call optimization, TLIP will improve the planning and alignment of port operations with better coordination of vessel arrivals and departures. It addresses the challenges posed by ships at sea with limited bandwidth and unstable connections, making it an essential component of the MISSION project. TLIP revolutionizes data sharing, fosters collaboration, and propels port operations into a new era of innovation.

Moving ahead, project MISSION is planning to integrate TLIP with AI-driven smart contracts thereby enhancing responsiveness to exchanged data while including alarms for non-compliance and delays. This integration of TLIP in the MISSION project highlights IOTA’s commitment to improving global supply chains via the industrial adoption of its technology, as reported by CNF.

Amid the broader market sell-off, the IOTA cryptocurrency is currently trading 7.1% down at $0.1575 with a market cap of $529 million and daily trading volumes shooting by 53%.

Charles Hoskinson Envisions Cardano Surpassing Bitcoin: ADA’s Growth Trajectory and Upcoming Chang Hardfork

—Cardano’s founder has unveiled the plans to topple Bitcoin in the near future.

—He believes in giving developers the tools to create usable tools that can add value.

Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson is highly optimistic about the blockchain taking up Bitcoin (BTC) position as the leading digital asset. The founder hinted at the disclosure, ADA’s growth movement, and the upcoming Chag Hardfork upgrade in an interview on Altcoin Daily.

Hoskinson Touts Cardano as a Major Bitcoin Contender
The Cardano founder said his interest in crypto stems from the profound effect it has on the economic, and socio-political systems of the world. Hoskinson highlighted that Cardano has lived up to what Satoshi started with the creation of Bitcoin. According to him, the Cardano ecosystem is built on a growth engine that continuously adds people, absorbing the technology of its competitors.

“At some point, you just outgrow, and then you wake up, and it’s a multi-trillion-dollar ecosystem with trillions of dollars of value moving around every single day,” he added.

Hoskinson claims the key to flipping Bitcoin is to enable various teams within the Cardano community with the tooling necessary to get to the next level. He emphasized that Bitcoin has stalled over the years, the only valuable proposition being its size.

“It’s not some new technology, it’s not some new capability, it’s not the fact that it’s super easy to use for something interesting; it’s big and successful,” Hoskinson stated.

He drew historical comparisons between the rise of more flexible and inventive solutions and the demise of companies like Yahoo, Microsoft, MySpace, and BlackBerry. He also cited how Artificial Intelligence (AI) search engines are becoming a huge threat to the usability of Google.

Challenge With Bitcoin Flexibility
Furthermore, Hoskinson claims Bitcoin’s relevance over the last 10 years is due to the simplicity of its model, but like Gold, Bitcoin cannot grow above a certain floor. Cardano, on the other hand, seeks to provide the foundation for international payment networks, credit, and voting systems, offering a higher utility. ☝️

The Cardano founder says the way to remain relevant is to embrace decentralization, preserve the integrity of systems, create the right incentives for users, and embrace new ideas.

Per blockchain, Hoskinson says Ethereum (ETH) is currently suffering from its inflexibility to innovation, with Layer-2s emerging as a major competitor.

“Yeah, I do believe we can do this, this is why we are so focused on the fundamentals because you can’t stop that once it is going fast enough,” stated Hoskinson.

Update on Cardano’s Chang Hardfork Upgrade
Hoskinson also highlighted the relevance of good governance in guaranteeing the long-term viability of blockchain initiatives. His words coincide with anticipation of the Chang Hardfork, which is scheduled for later this year.

He went into further detail on the pros and cons of on-chain governance, highlighting the need for a system that allows for quick decision-making. Hoskinson noted that the Hardfork will be initiated as soon as 70% of stake operators upgrade to the final version of Node 9.0.

Meanwhile, ADA, the native coin of the Cardano blockchain, is currently trading sideways. At press time, ADA declined by 5.6% in the past day to trade at $0.3955, with the market cap pegged at $14 billion. Nonetheless, Cardano’s Total Value Locked (TVL) recently surged by 38%, as noted in our earlier article.

Clare: Central Bank of Iraq "warns" against circulation of $1 million commemorative notes

July 25, 2024

The Central Bank of Iraq renews its warning against promoting commemorative notes of the "one million" US dollar denomination used to defraud citizens.

It stressed that the security and regulatory authorities will pursue those who promote these commemorative notes and take legal action against them. It pointed out that the highest denomination of the US dollar in circulation is the "100" dollar denomination.

It is  noteworthy that the aforementioned commemorative note is not circulated in global currency markets as it is issued by the American Millionaires Association, and this note is not considered cash because it is not issued by the US Federal Reserve and does not represent any financial instrument, and is used for gifting purposes only.

The Central Bank of Iraq warned in February 2020 against circulating the "one million" dollar denomination because it is a non-cash note.

Clare:  Cooperation in communication and training.. Washington talks reveal a new Iraqi-American understanding

7/25/2024

The US Department of Defense and the Iraqi Ministry of Defense led the second US-Iraq Joint Security Cooperation Dialogue in Washington, D.C., on July 22-23, 2024, reaffirming their commitment to security cooperation and shared interest in regional stability.

The two delegations discussed a range of bilateral security issues under the 2008 U.S.-Iraq Strategic Framework Agreement and in recognition of our comprehensive partnership, with Defense Minister Thabet Al-Abbasi meeting with U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and representatives from the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, U.S. Central Command, the Department of State, and National Security Council staff.

The Iraqi delegation included the Chief of Defense Staff, who also met separately with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Charles Brown, the Director of the Counter-Terrorism Service, the Deputy Commander of the Joint Operations Command – Iraq, and other senior defense officials.

The U.S. and Iraqi delegations reaffirmed their commitment to developing Iraq’s security and defense capabilities and their determination to deepen security cooperation across a full range of issues to advance the two countries’ shared interest in Iraq’s security and sovereignty and regional stability.

The 2024 Joint Security Cooperation Dialogue builds on discussions held during Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s visit to Washington, D.C., in April of this year and the inaugural Joint Security Cooperation Dialogue last summer.

During the first Joint Security Cooperation Dialogue, the two sides decided to establish a bilateral Higher Military Committee to analyze three factors – the threat posed by ISIS, operational requirements, and the capability levels of the Iraqi Security Forces – to determine the future of the international military coalition in Iraq.

The dialogue continued during the Joint Security Cooperation Dialogue, building on HMC’s work over the past six months and in celebration of the upcoming 10th anniversary of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS’s military mission in Iraq. A detailed joint statement on the future of the Global Coalition’s mission and presence in Iraq is scheduled to be issued shortly after HMC’s conclusion.

The United States and Iraq intend to continue consultations on enhancing bilateral cooperation to ensure the lasting defeat of ISIS after more than a decade of cooperation between the international coalition and Iraq.

Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar, noted the historic achievements of the coalition in Iraq and commended the millions of victims of ISIS, including hundreds of thousands of victims who suffered in the campaign to defeat ISIS in Iraq, such as members of the Iraqi security forces, including the Peshmerga, and partner forces around the world, including the United States. Both sides stressed the importance of Iraq continuing to provide support to the international coalition to defeat ISIS in Syria and around the world.

In addition, the two delegations reached an understanding on the concept of a new phase of the bilateral security relationship, which includes cooperation through liaison officers, training and traditional security cooperation programmes.

The delegations also discussed efforts to build the operational capacity of the Iraqi Security Forces through U.S. military assistance and security cooperation programs, including through Foreign Military Sales and Foreign Military Financing. The two sides stressed the importance of continued cooperation to ensure the sustainability of U.S.-origin military equipment used by the Iraqi Security Forces. The delegations emphasized the value of professional military education and technical training programs and decided to strengthen both.

They also explored opportunities to expand Iraqi participation in CENTCOM-led regional military exercises and strengthen Iraqi military relations with CENTCOM service component commands. The two sides also decided to begin work on a Memorandum of Understanding to provide an enhanced framework for their bilateral security relationship in the coming years, including mechanisms to ensure the continued defeat of ISIS.

In support of Iraq’s sovereignty and security, delegations reaffirmed that the advisory mission is in Iraq at the invitation of the Iraqi Government to support the Iraqi security forces in the fight against ISIS and to support and develop the Iraqi security forces, including the Kurdish security forces.

The Iraqi representatives reaffirmed their absolute commitment to protect US and coalition personnel, advisors, convoys and diplomatic facilities.

Delegations discussed the continued urgent need to return displaced persons and detainees currently in north-east Syria to their countries of origin and support their reintegration.  LINK

BRICS Now Controls 72% of the World’s Rare-Earth Metals

We love Africa:  7-24-2024

In a significant geopolitical shift, the BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—have now emerged as custodians of an astonishing 72% of the world’s rare-earth metals. After consolidating control over a significant portion of global oil supplies, this new monopoly on rare-earth elements presents profound implications for global trade, technology, and the balance of power in the international arena.

Rare-earth metals are a group of 17 elements essential for the production of high-tech devices, renewable energy technologies, and various defense applications. Items ranging from smartphones, electric vehicles, and wind turbines to military equipment rely heavily on these metals. As the world increasingly pivot towards technology and sustainable energy solutions, the demand for these precious resources has skyrocketed.

The BRICS nations, by controlling such a substantial share of rare-earth metals, position themselves as crucial players in an increasingly competitive global economy. Imagine if BRICS decided to trade these materials in currencies other than the US dollar. Such a strategy could undermine the dollar’s role as the world’s primary reserve currency, disrupting established commercial practices and inciting economic volatility.

This potential disruption could lead to a significant shift toward a multipolar world, where power and influence are distributed among several nations rather than being concentrated in a few Western countries. The implications of this could resonate across numerous sectors, including technology, industry, and defense. With dominance over essential resources, BRICS would have leverage in negotiations, partnerships, and global policy decisions.

The BRICS nations controlling 72% of the world’s rare-earth metals represents both a seismic shift in global economics and the potential for lasting geopolitical ramifications. If they leverage this power effectively, it could catalyze a transition to a multipolar world where Western dominance is challenged.

As the global landscape continues to evolve, businesses, governments, and societies must adapt to these changes. The strategic approaches adopted by both BRICS and the Western nations in response will undoubtedly shape the contours of the future economy and international relations. The world is on the brink of a new era—one where resources dictate power and alliances are more crucial than ever.

Is the US Dollar’s Dominance Coming to an End?

Kitco News: 7-24-2024

In a recent illuminating interview on Kitco News, anchor Jeremy Szafron had the opportunity to converse with Tavi Costa, a Partner and Macro Strategist at Crescat Capital. Their discussion touched on some of the most pressing concerns in the economic landscape today: the future of the U.S. dollar, growing sovereign debt concerns, and the implications for global markets. As inflationary pressures mount and geopolitical tensions escalate, these topics are increasingly relevant for investors and everyday citizens alike.

Lower interest rates could potentially create a temporary alleviation of debt obligations, but they may also spur inflationary pressures, diminishing the dollar’s purchasing power. This, Costa believes, will have cascading effects across global markets, especially in commodities.

The forecasts may look grim for the dollar, they open the door for substantial investment opportunities in the commodities sector. Investors looking for a hedge against inflation and currency risk might find solace in allocating their assets towards tangible commodities.

Costa’s insights on the U.S. dollar, sovereign debt, and global markets are both sobering and enlightening. His bearish outlook prompts a reconsideration of long-held assumptions about currency strength and encourages a shift toward commodities as a potential safeguard against economic instability. As we navigate through these challenging times, the perspectives shared in this interview serve as a crucial reminder of the interconnectedness of global financial systems and the importance of proactive investment strategies.

The Difference Between Currencies and Bonds in the GCR

The Difference Between Currencies and Bonds in the GCR

On July 24, 2024 By Awake-In-3D

In RV/GCR

A straightforward explanation of how gold-backed currencies and bonds differ and how they will be transacted in the Global Currency Reset (GCR)

In This Article

• General Definitions and Functions of Currencies and Bonds

• Key Differences Between Bearer Bonds and Registered Bonds

• How Transactions Will Work in the GCR

The Global Currency Reset (GCR) represents a significant shift. This reset involves the revaluation of currencies and bonds backed by gold. Understanding the distinctions between gold-backed currencies and bonds, particularly in the context of the GCR can be helpful in the broader landscape of things.

This article aims to provide a clear and simple explanation of these differences, including the unique characteristics of Bearer Bonds and Registered Bonds, and how transactions will be handled.

General Definitions and Functions of Currencies and Bonds

Currencies are are considered legal tender issued by a country’s central bank or government, with their value tied to a specific weight of gold.

These currencies act as a medium of exchange, facilitating everyday transactions.

Bonds are financial instruments representing a loan made by a person or entity to a borrower, which can be a government, municipality, or entity.

Bonds are used to raise capital and provide periodic interest payments to bondholders. Unlike currencies, bonds return the principal amount at maturity.

Key Differences Between Bearer Bonds and Registered Bonds

To the best of my knowledge, all GCR bonds are Perpetual Bearer Bonds, which have distinct characteristics compared to Registered Bonds:

Bearer Bonds: Bearer Bonds are unregistered, meaning ownership is transferred by simply delivering the physical bond certificate. They offer anonymity to the bondholder but carry a higher risk of theft or loss since possession equates to ownership. Perpetual bonds do not have specified maturity dates.

However, to the best of my knowledge, all GCR bonds do require adequate provenance (history of ownership) that show that the bonds were not implicated in any criminal activity.

Registered Bonds: Registered Bonds are recorded in the name of the bondholder. Ownership is transferred through a formal registration process. They provide greater security against theft or loss but do not offer the same level of anonymity.

Key Differences Between Gold-backed Currencies and Bonds

While both currencies and bonds will be linked to various weights of gold in the GCR, their purposes, issuers, and returns, differ significantly:

Purpose: Currencies are used for everyday transactions, whereas bonds are investment vehicles that appreciate over time.

Issuer: Currencies are issued by governments or central banks. Bonds can be issued by governments, municipalities, and other entities.

Return: Currencies do not provide a return in the form of interest unless held in interest-bearing accounts. Bonds, however, generally provide interest income over time.

How Transactions Will Work in the GCR

In the GCR, gold-backed currencies will be exchanged similarly to traditional currencies, only there will likely be a digital (blockchain) component and/or process involved. [More on the decentralized ledger and payment system in future articles.]

Conversely, bonds will be redeemed rather than exchanged. This means bondholders will receive appreciated rates and the principal amount at maturity, rather than using bonds for everyday transactions.

ALSO READ: Trading Platforms for RV/GCR Bonds and Currencies Explained

In the case of ZIM perpetual bonds, the principle value will come from its gold-backed component along with accrued, underlying interest appreciation. No one really knows what that appreciation factor is.

Since most GCR bonds are Perpetual Bearer Bonds, the transaction process involves the physical delivery of the notes to transfer ownership at the time of transaction.

Tishwash:  Black Money" Fuels Investment Stock Exchange.. Countries That Prospered with Looted Iraqi Money

 Former MP Manar Abdul Muttalib, on Thursday (July 25, 2024), identified the features of black money in the Iraqi investment stock exchange, indicating that this money stolen from the Iraqi treasury has revived the economies of several countries .

Abdul Mutalib said in an interview with Baghdad Today, "There is no accurate figure for the amount of money looted in Iraq after 2003, but all indications indicate that it is hundreds of billions of dollars, some of which was smuggled abroad and some of which was turned into support for building economic wings for parties, forces and companies ."

She added, "The investment environment in Iraq is going against the trend in the world in that anyone with $100,000 can invest in a project worth $100 million. This is a paradox, especially since the state provides the land for free and it builds with customers' money, especially in housing projects that represent a fertile environment for attracting money ."

Abdul Muttalib pointed out that black money (referring to corrupt and looted money) “exists in all sectors, including investments, but the possibility of uncovering it is difficult and complicated because there is no money in the names of politicians. However, seeing the level of prosperity and extravagance and comparing it with their situation years ago gives an indication of the extent of corruption .”

She explained that "corrupt funds were smuggled to neighboring countries and were thrown into large investment projects that revived the economies of several capitals, to the extent that those countries do not actually cooperate with Baghdad in order to clarify the fate of Iraq's funds because they benefit in different ways," indicating that "searching for Iraq's previous funds is difficult, but the most important thing is to reconsider the investment file and make it within a scope that serves the country's economy and to approve serious steps to combat corruption in order to preserve what remains of the country's wealth  link

Tishwash:  Saleh: The Central Bank's dollar reserves are solid and the GDP rate is very optimistic

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed the cohesion of foreign reserves, especially the dollar, at the Central Bank of Iraq.

Saleh told Al Furat News Agency, "Covering urgent expenses in dollars, as they represent the desired demand for foreign currency, in addition to the level of sufficiency of incoming foreign currency flows and the level of maintaining the country's reserves of the total foreign currency held by the Central Bank, is subject to two main factors."

He explained that the first factor is "the nature of the oil asset cycle, which is still at its highest levels of global price increases due to the strength of global demand for energy, and that economic expectations indicate that potential price fluctuations towards a decline are still out of reach and are largely linked to the end of military operations in Ukraine, and the return of the flow of Russian gas and oil, especially to European markets, as the Russian Federation is the second largest oil-producing country in the world and leads the production and export of gas to major consumer markets in the European continent directly." 

The other factor, according to Saleh, “is related to the surplus in the current account of the Iraqi balance of payments, as estimates issued by international financial institutions indicate that this percentage of the surplus in the current account of the Iraqi balance of payments to the country’s gross domestic product is no less than {positive 6%}, which is a very optimistic positive percentage.”

He explained that "both factors indicate the cohesion of the country's foreign reserves, which are generated by high oil export revenues to date, versus control over outward cash flows of foreign currency to meet local demand for imported goods, services and foreign benefits, as the current account of the balance of payments indicates that it is in a positive and stable position and is consistent with the general budget's spending tendencies during the current fiscal year 2024."  link

Tishwsh:  Central Bank Under Wide Criticism After Failure To Control Exchange Rate

The Central Bank of Iraq announced today, Wednesday, the total sales of foreign currency through the electronic window. The window recorded the total amounts of transfers abroad (remittances, credits) at $267,587,912, while the total cash sales amounted to $7,050,000, bringing the total to $274,637,912.

The Central Bank set the selling price for transfers and cash at 1,310 dinars per dollar, while documentary credits and international settlements for electronic cards were set at 1,305 dinars.

The Central Bank of Iraq is facing widespread criticism from various economic and political circles due to its current policies and its inability to control the exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar. Under the government of Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who decided to reduce the exchange rate to 1,320 dinars per dollar, the Central Bank was unable to actually control the price, which led to the emergence of a parallel market benefiting private banks that were described as similar to shops for exchanging dollars.

The instability of the exchange rate and the emergence of the parallel market have increased pressure on the Iraqi economy. These private banks are one of the biggest beneficiaries of the current situation, as they can buy dollars at lower prices than the official market and sell them at higher prices in the parallel market. This situation leads to economic instability and increases the burden on citizens who face rising prices due to the fluctuation of the exchange rate.

These problems reflect the weakness of the Central Bank of Iraq’s management and the inability to take effective measures to limit the influence of the parallel market. Many experts believe that the Central Bank needs to adopt more stringent policies and coordinate with government agencies to achieve tangible economic stability. The current situation requires serious steps to narrow the gap between the official and parallel markets and ensure price and exchange rate stability.

It is imperative that the Central Bank of Iraq strengthens oversight of the financial market and takes strict action against banks that exploit the situation to make illicit profits. The Iraqi government must also support the Central Bank through comprehensive economic policies that contribute to the stability of the local currency and the strengthening of the national economy.

The biggest challenge facing the Central Bank of Iraq and the Iraqi government remains achieving economic stability and ensuring fair distribution of opportunities and resources among all segments of society. Addressing the problem of the exchange rate and the parallel market requires joint efforts from all concerned parties to reach radical and sustainable solutions.  link

Global Currency Reset:  Opinions/Rumors

Wed. 24 July 2024 Ginger’s Liberty Lounge: Happy Camper German Bond Holders were being processed in Europe. That fits in with what we are experiencing here! A friend of mine who lives in Germany is very close to what’s happening in Zurich! She told me two weeks ago that everything was being processed and settled, and I asked her how far along they were, how long it would take and she sent me pictures of a boat party which took place on a big lake so apparently she’s not allowed to talk about it, that was answer enough for me.

Tues. 23 July6 2024 Wolverine: The millions of people in the Precatorios Platform were made liquid on Tues. 23. Private contractors are also being paid. More have been called into Zurich. My Asian contact said that their platform starts on Wed. 24 July. I was told Mon. night, that a certain country in Asia was about to release on Tues. 23 July. China as well. A committee member in London confirmed that funds will be released Tues. afternoon in Reno and payments on Wed. 24 July.  Reno has liquid funds. They received instructions to pay on Wed. 24 July. On Thursday D-1-D-2 will be released. The platforms will receive their funds on Wed. 24 July, but they must wait for D1 and D2 to go live on Thursday. Dubai 1 and Dubai 2 provide all the money for the exchange. At this moment there is a start in Brazil, for the beneficiaries of this process.

Tues. 23 July 2024 Bruce: Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) could be notified at any time. Bond Holders have been told they will be notified on Wed. 24 July and get access to their monies on Thurs. 25 July.

Tues. 23 July 2024 MarkZ: Historic Bond paperwork – especially on the Asian Bonds – has been sent to the Hague. I’m hearing the only reason the RV did not go over the weekend was fights over the value of some old German bonds. But things are now “unstuck.”

Frank26   The Iraqi dinar is the only currency in Iraq.  Therefore that currency has to go up in value.  It  has to go up in value, it's going International.  How do you know it's going international?  Because Sudani...Alaq, the governor of  the CBI said so.  I'm not pulling things out of the air.  I'm repeating to you what these great leaders are doing in their  county...

Frank26  The direction that the monetary reform is going is in the direction to add value and introduce new lower denoms and to change the exchange rate and then to float.  That's the step we're in.  We're not in a step where we need to pass laws.  We're not in a step where we need permission from anybody over there, over here, over there - United Nations Security Council, the Untied States Treasury, nobody.  We're at the point where Neil Armstrong is just about to put that right foot on the moon.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

XRP WHALES Go On $84 MILLION Buying Spree To Lock Down 140 Million Tokens

"XRP whales look to have regained their confidence in the XRP token, with recent data showing an accumulation trend among these investors. This is significant as XRP eyes the $1 mark and as these XRP whales could play a role in facilitating such a price rally. "

"Crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently shared data from the on-chain analytics platform Santiment, which shows that XRP whales bought over 140 million XRP ($84 million) this past week."

"This increase in whale accumulation is also a factor that could contribute to such a rally, as these investors could use their market influence to push XRP’s price to new highs. Santiment recently noted that XRP’s impressive rebound is supported by the rising level of coins held by xrp whales and sharks with over 100,000 tokens. According to Santiment, this category of investors now holds over 51 billion XRP tokens, a new all-time high (ATH). "

"n addition to this significant whale accumulation, network activity on the XRP ledger (XRPL) also paints a bullish picture for XRP. Santiment revealed that the XRPL is witnessing a notable increase in new addresses created and total addresses interacting on the network. Both metrics are at their highest levels since March.

"Specifically, data from Santiment shows that 1,721 new XRP wallets were created on July 18 and that 47,363 individual addresses interacted on the network that day. This is also a bullish signal as it suggests that retail investors are also flocking into the XRP ecosystem in anticipation of higher prices from the crypto token. XRP’s technicals also suggest that a significant price rally is on the horizon. "

Clare: Central Bank Governor discusses with UN Regional Representative the development of bilateral programmes

July 23, 2024

His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Chairman of the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Council, Mr. Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, received the Regional Representative of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime for the Middle East and North Africa, Ms. "Christina Albertin" and her accompanying delegation. 

During the meeting, they discussed strengthening bilateral relations and completing the programs achieved between the two sides, especially with regard to capacity building in following up on criminal proceeds in accordance with international best practices.

The guest delegation praised the efforts made by the Iraqi Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Office in combating cross-border crimes, following up on proceeds, and strengthening the work of the internal, regional and international system.

It is noteworthy that Iraq is hosting the Second Baghdad International Conference on Combating Drugs, under the patronage of the Prime Minister, who made it clear in his speech during the conference that drugs threaten the stability of the region, and Iraq's vision towards combating them is not limited to the harm targeting its youth, but will be a factor in comprehensive instability in the region if neglected.

Mnt Goat   Again, I have to ask as to why the reinstatement has not already occurred, if no other rate on FOREX than to reflect the assets of the oil rentier economy already established and ongoing as we know it prior to 1990.  Prior to 1990, the rate of the dinar was hovering around $3.22. So why are they still artificially suppressing the rate now? Now, it’s 1/6 of a penny? The war has been over for 21 years, all of Chapter VII sanctions are lifted a year and a half ago, Iraq is producing 1/3 more oil than in 1990, their monetary reserves are the highest in history, up to 150 tons of GOLD and many more other marketable assets are now in motion...  [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Mnt Goat   Oh…did I mention de-dollarization and all the banking and anti-corruption measures already put in place...I believe it is this “all or nothing” attitude that is holding back Iraq as it needs its currency back online now. This is especially true for attracting foreign investors...  my CBI contact told me...why the Project to Delete the Zeros is stalled. I will not get into details of these reasons...as I feel we must just buckle down and wait for this Biden administration to end, at least the part that is controlling the US Treasury and pretending to work with Iraq...the RV happening while the democrats are in power is slim to none! I have strong knowledge from my CBI contact this is what has been holding up the RV. The US Treasury will NOT release it...  [Post 2 of 2]
