Blockchain and Nation-State Infrastructure: Why Bother?

" Financial titans like JP Morgan, Standard Chartered, HSBC, and Goldman Sachs are diving deep into blockchain, spurred on by the SEC’s approval of spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs and BlackRock’s tokenization initiatives.

However, participation from legacy organizations brings with it a growing risk of reproducing the same kinds of centralized structures that blockchain set out to dismantle. 

Additionally, greater involvement from traditional finance attracts stronger regulatory frameworks and more regimented policy structures from nation-state institutions, which risks stifling innovation and limiting the autonomy of our blockchain networks. So, why bother?"

"Not long ago, these financial giants were the loudest critics of crypto’s credibility and efficacy. For context, in 2017, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase famously declared, “BITCOIN IS A FRAUD”.

In this era of heavy skepticism, financial governance in the U.S. looked down its nose at this whole ecosystem—if it even dared to look at all. 

Yet now, as the two start to realize the potential upside of Wall Street ETFs, we seem incredibly eager to shine a light on their arrival. 

We need to ask ourselves if these major private and public players can be trusted with the future of blockchain ecosystems when they have, for years, continued to struggle with the provision of clear and feasible regulatory frameworks."

"It’s still unclear if digital assets are SECURITIES or COMMODITIES, leading to endless lawsuits and regulatory headaches for major exchanges in the US. These opaque rules and guidelines have fostered a mass jurisdictional exodus, as companies look for legal respite to innovate in other places. "

"To circumvent these centralized points of failure, we need to continue building permissionless and trustless systems that can’t be taken down by the state, regulator, or any one owner.

Decentralized, open-source zero-knowledge (zk) bridges may not be a silver bullet, but they offer a more promising and equitable future. 

Distributed, anonymous, and autonomous, these bridges can operate with minimum governmental interference and therefore maximum freedom, empowering participants to move assets freely and generate proofs locally and economically."

"This allows for true interoperability, giving protocols sovereign control without the heavy hand of regulatory requirements. It also makes these bridges nation-state-resistant: if a given bridge provider is regulated out of existence or prosecuted, users can continue bridging using the decentralized infrastructure."

"In this vision, protocols would enjoy greater freedom, with no unnecessary requirements, no user flow restrictions, and no extra security vulnerabilities. Crypto would again become a space where no single country, company, or party has an unfair advantage, effectively returning to the decentralized spirit at the heart of blockchain."

"Imagine instead a world where thousands of blockchains communicate seamlessly—a future where fragmented liquidity becomes a cohesive, high-performance ecosystem.

This vision is within reach. We are on the cusp of making blockchain as efficient and interconnected as the internet itself.

Decentralized, horizontal scalability is the only way forward, making crypto truly useful for the wider global community."

Cambodia’s Bakong DIGITAL CURRENCY helps address DOLLARIZATION

ANOTHER ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTING THE FACT THAT COUNTRIES ARE CONTINUING DOWN THE PATH TO DE-DOLLARIZE AND RETURN TO LOCAL CURRENCIES.

THIS TREND IS HAPPENING ALL AROUND THE WORLD AND SEEMS TO BE A STRATEGIC PLAN TO BRING IN A GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

"Cambodia has been a heavily dollarized country since it returned to civilian rule in the early nineties. Roughly 80% of transactions are in US dollars. Prior to becoming the Governor of the National Bank of Cambodia, Chea Serey spearheaded the launch of the Bakong digital currency payment system in 2020.

A key aim was to encourage a higher proportion of transactions in the local riel rather than dollars. Based on figures for the first half of 2024, that strategy looks like it’s working."

"Bakong has been a huge success. By the end of last year, the central bank said there were ten million wallets out of a 17 million population. While often described as a central bank digital currency (CBDC), Bakong is closer to a tokenized deposit initiative with the Bakong currency backed by balances at commercial banks."

"One of the key tactics to encourage use of the LOCAL CURRENCY is to only support cross border payments using riel. Bakong has existing cross border payment arrangements for Bakong with Thailand, Laos and Vietnam and is expanding its collaborations with China, Japan, India, Korea, Singapore and Malaysia.

Late last year it partnered with Alipay+, the international arm of the dominant Chinese wallet. Additionally, it’s encouraging local retailers to quote prices in riel."

"There’s another reason the strategy is working. With a prudently managed economy, the riel can hold its own in the foreign exchange markets. It has an unofficial peg of 4000 riel to the dollar, which it has managed to more or less hold for the past 20 years. 

During the past ten years it has varied by less than 5%. Given the decline in the US dollar in the last few days, the riel has now slightly appreciated against the dollar over the past year. Other currencies in the region such as the Thai Baht, have depreciated a little."

USD/JPY Forecast – US Dollar Continues to Drop Against The Yen

The USD/JPY pair fell hard in the early hours on Monday, as the trading world continues to unwind the overall carry trade, and the Fed is looking more and more likely to cut rates later this year. Ultimately, this is a market that I think will continue to see more and more volatility.

IMPORTANT RIPPLE (XRP) UPDATE

“Ripple USD will be fully backed by a segregated reserve of cash and cash equivalents and redeemable 1:1 for US dollars,” the announcement reads.

▪️Ripple plans to launch a stablecoin called Ripple USD (RLUSD) by the end of 2024, available on XRP Ledger and Ethereum. It promises benefits like deep liquidity for certain trading pairs, instant settlements, and programmable finance.

▪️The SEC has criticized RLUSD as an “unregistered crypto asset,” continuing its ongoing legal battle with Ripple since 2020.

More Attention to RLUSD
Ripple made waves earlier this year when it revealed that it would introduce a stablecoin pegged to the American dollar. At the time, CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that the product would serve as a bridge between traditional finance and the cryptocurrency industry.

Ripple’s team has still not provided an exact date for the stablecoin’s official release. However, they explained it will be available on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum and should go live before the end of 2024. The team also revealed that the stablecoin will be called Ripple USD (ticker RLUSD).

Most recently, the product was added to the company’s official website, meaning its launch could be just around the corner. “

Ripple USD (RLUSD) is being designed to maintain a constant value of one US dollar. Issued on XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains, Ripple USD will be fully backed by a segregated reserve of cash and cash equivalents and redeemable 1:1 for US dollars,” the section reads.

Ripple’s team argued that RLUSD would provide certain benefits, such as deep liquidity for selected trading pairs on centralized exchanges, instant settlements, and programmable finance.

The Clash With the SEC
The upcoming stablecoin has already become a subject of controversy, receiving criticism from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Several months ago, the regulator labeled it an “unregistered crypto asset.”

This is not the first confrontation between Ripple and the SEC. The agency sued the firm in December 2020, accusing it and some of its executives of illegally raising more than $1.3 billion by selling XRP in an unregistered security offering.

The legal battle passed through multiple developments in the following years, becoming one of the hottest topics in the crypto space. It reached its trial stage in April 2024, meaning a resolution could be announced anytime.

Some industry participants view the SEC as the underdog in the dispute, pointing to Ripple’s three partial court wins secured throughout 2023. XRP’s price reacted positively to each of those, and it will be interesting to see how it performs once the case is officially closed.

Crypto Market Crash Aside: 3 Things to Watch This Week

Things couldn’t get much worse for crypto markets following their largest retreat for more than a year. However, this week’s economic calendar in the US is slow which could limit further volatility.

Crypto markets have fallen below $2 trillion total capitalization in a massive double-digit crash, the likes of which have not been seen for at least a year.

Stock markets in Asia are also reeling this Monday morning following a tech stock rout in the United States late last week.

Economic Calendar August 5 to 9
Monday, we will see July’s final S&P services PMI (purchasing managers index), which provides a snapshot of business conditions in the services sector in the United States.

The ISM services report is also due, which will provide economic indicators for service based on surveys of supply management professionals. Changes in ISM and PMI reports often precede changes in the wider economy.

Thursday has initial jobless claims data, which indicate employment and labor markets in the United States and have a wider impact on the economy.

This week’s light economic events calendar will not have much impact on markets as they are already in freefall.

Economists are forecasting more economic doom and gloom. “All in, we have an economic slowdown for sure, with a high probability that a recession is approaching,” reported Forbes over the weekend.

Crypto Markets Bleed $280B
Crypto markets have dumped a further $280 billion over the past 12 hours resulting in a daily slump of around 13%.

This has dropped total market capitalization back to $1.94 trillion, its lowest level since February. Digital asset markets have dumped more than 20% over the past week as sentiment shifts to bearish.

Bitcoin led the declines with a slump to under $50,000 during the Monday morning Asian trading session. The asset has lost 13% over the past 24 hours in its largest and fastest fall for more than a year.

Ethereum fared even worse, tanking a whopping 21% on the day to $2,200, its lowest level since January.

The altcoins are a sea of red this morning, with most dumping double digits as crypto markets wipe out nearly all gains made in 2024 in the space of a couple of days.

Global Financial Contagion Now Unleashed as Japan’s Yen Crisis Erupts

Global Financial Contagion Now Unleashed as Japan’s Yen Crisis Erupts

On August 4, 2024  By Awake-In-3D

The Devastating Impact of Japan’s Economic Sickness on the Global Fiat Financial System

This weekend, the world has been waking up to headlines declaring global financial markets in chaos. Not due to any specific local issue, but triggered by a seismic economic upheaval in Japan.

This isn’t a hypothetical scenario; it’s happening now.

In This Article

1. What Makes Fiat Currencies So Fragile?

2. Why Is Japan’s Economic Situation a Global Concern?

3. How Are Global Markets Reacting to Japan’s Yen Crisis?

4. What Does This Global Market Contagion Look Like?

5. What Can We Learn from Japan’s Financial Catastrophe?

The foundation of our global financial system—fiat currencies, which derive their value from government assurances rather than tangible assets like gold—is showing its cracks.

Today, Japan’s catastrophic financial and economic situation is acting as a viral contagion, spreading instability and panic throughout the global fiat financial system. This isn’t just an isolated problem confined to Japanese borders.

The ripple effects are wreaking havoc worldwide, exposing the weakest link in our globally interconnected financial framework.

The message is clear: trust in government-backed FIAT currencies is dangerously misplaced.

As Japan’s crisis deepens, it serves as a clear warning that the foundations of our FIAT financial system are growing progressively more fragile and progressing to the point of collapse.

The global financial system, long upheld by fiat currencies, is now teetering on the brink of a crisis. Japan’s recent economic turmoil is exposing the fragile underpinnings of currencies not backed by tangible assets like gold.

What Makes Fiat Currencies So Fragile?

Fiat currencies rely solely on government trust rather than tangible assets. For decades, this system has functioned based on the perceived stability and reliability of governmental policies. However, the recent upheaval in Japan reveals how quickly this trust can disintegrate.

The yen’s sharp appreciation against the dollar—rising around 8% over the last month to 148.84 yen per dollar—highlights the deeper issues within Japan’s economy and its monetary policy, questioning the stability of fiat currencies worldwide.

Why Is Japan’s Economic Situation a Global Concern?

Japan’s decision to raise interest rates for only the second time in 17 years signifies a significant departure from its previous monetary easing policies. This shift has triggered a rapid rise in the yen, sending shockwaves through global markets.

The collapse of the carry trade, where investors borrow in yen at low interest rates to invest in higher-yielding assets, is causing widespread financial disruption. The yen’s surge is forcing massive sell-offs in U.S. equities, leading to a broad market slump.

How Are Global Markets Reacting to Japan’s Yen Crisis?

The yen’s appreciation and the subsequent sell-off of U.S. stocks illustrate the interconnectedness of global financial systems. As Japanese investors repatriate their capital, the impact is felt worldwide. This has led to significant declines in stock markets from the U.S. to Europe.

This downturn, exacerbated by weak U.S. manufacturing data and employment indicators, highlights just how a crisis in one country can ripple across the globe, affecting economies far beyond Japan.

What Does This Global Market Contagion Look Like?

The sudden and rapid appreciation of the yen and subsequent market sell-offs have led to widespread volatility and losses across major indices in Asia, the Pacific region, Europe and North America.

Here’s a snapshot of global market sell-offs in the last two trading days (August 1st and 2nd, 2024):

Austral-Asia Markets

• Japan (Nikkei 225): Combined decline of 5.73%

• China (Shanghai Composite Index): Combined decline of 1.40%

• Singapore (STI Index): Combined decline of 2.15%

• Australia (S&P/ASX 200 Index): Combined decline of 2.11%

European Markets

• STOXX Europe 600 Index: Declined 1.2%

• Germany’s DAX: Dropped 2.3%

• France’s CAC 40: Fell 2.1%

• UK’s FTSE 100: Shed 2.31%

U.S. Markets

• Dow Jones Industrial Average: Decline of 2.71%

• S&P 500 Index: Decreased 3.26%

• Nasdaq Composite: Shedding 4.67%

What Can We Learn from Japan’s Financial Catastrophe?

Japan’s yen crisis serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities within the global fiat currency system. The recent turmoil demonstrates the need to question our reliance on government-backed currencies and consider the potential benefits of assets backed by tangible resources like gold.

The era of unquestioned faith in fiat currencies may be coming to an end.

The Bottom Line

Japan’s yen crisis is a dire warning about the fragility of the global fiat currency system. As trust in government-backed currencies wavers, the interconnected nature of global markets becomes increasingly evident.

The stability of our financial future depends on acknowledging these vulnerabilities and taking proactive steps to mitigate risks. The era of blind trust in fiat currencies must give way to a more cautious and strategic approach to safeguarding our economic well-being.

What is the Zimbabwe Gold ZiG?

The Zimbabwe Gold currency, or ZiG, launched in April 2024, is a gold-backed currency designed to replace the depreciated Zimbabwean dollar.

The ZiG is backed by foreign exchange reserves and precious metals, providing a stable and secure alternative to the previously volatile local currency.

This marks Zimbabwe’s sixth attempt to establish a reliable currency in the past 15 years.

Is the Zimbabwe Gold ZiG Currency Being Used?

Since its introduction, the adoption of the ZiG has been remarkable. Zimbabwean Central Bank Governor John Mushayawanha reported that the usage of ZiG has doubled, now representing 30% of all transactions in the country.

This rapid increase in acceptance indicates growing confidence among Zimbabweans in the new currency’s stability and value.

How has the ZiG helped Zimbabwe’s Economy?

The introduction of the ZiG has had a stabilizing effect on Zimbabwe’s economy. The gold-backed currency has helped to curb inflation and restore some confidence in the national monetary system.

Previously, hyperinflation and a depreciating local currency plagued the economy, but the ZiG’s success suggests a turning point.

The use of gold coins in 2022 laid the foundation for this success, proving effective in managing liquidity and preserving value.

Will the Gold ZiG Replace the US Dollar in Zimbabwe?

The Zimbabwean government has ambitious plans for the ZiG to become the sole legal tender by 2030.

Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube has introduced measures to increase demand for the ZiG, including requiring government departments to accept payments in the local currency.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has indicated that the transition could be completed as early as 2026, aiming to reduce reliance on the US dollar.

Is the Zimbabwe Gold ZiG a Part of a GCR?

The ZiG’s introduction is seen as a significant step towards a Global Currency Reset (GCR), where gold re-emerges as the foundation for a fair and sovereign financial system open to all of humanity.

The success of the ZiG will lead other nations to adopt gold-backed currencies, fostering a more secure and equitable global economy.

The GCR envisions a future where gold and other real assets underpin global financial systems, reducing the debt, volatility and uncertainty associated with fiat currencies.

The Bottom Line

Zimbabwe’s introduction of the ZiG currency marks a pivotal moment in the global financial landscape. By embracing a gold-backed currency,

Zimbabwe is not only stabilizing its own economy but also paving the way for a broader global currency reset.

Zimbabwe’s success with the ZiG will bring a new era of financial stability and prosperity, driven by the strong properties and value of gold.

Clare:  US Treasury Takes Control of Iraq's Central Bank to Combat Money Laundering

8/3/2024

Three informed sources close to the political and parliamentary decision-making process in Baghdad revealed extremely dangerous information confirming that the US Treasury Department has taken a permanent headquarters in the Central Bank of Iraq building. They considered that this step came as a result of the great pressures on the Iraqi banking system with the aim of limiting money laundering and dollar smuggling, as the governor of the Central Bank was forced to allocate an entire floor for US Treasury departments to monitor money transfers and prevent any illegal activities.

The three sources confirmed that a team of American employees is working permanently at the Central Bank of Iraq, as part of intensive efforts to ensure Iraq's commitment to international standards for combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

The sources stressed that the Iraqi banking sector is suffering from increasing pressures exerted by the US Treasury to prevent the smuggling of dollars to countries such as Iran, Russia and Syria, which are facing economic sanctions.

One of the sources explained that the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq tried to resist these restrictions, but the American response was strict, as the Central Bank of Iraq was included among the institutions considered to support money laundering operations and failure to comply with sanctions.

In previous reports, the US Treasury imposed severe sanctions on several Iraqi banks, on charges of involvement in money laundering and dollar smuggling. The policy of the Central Bank of Iraq is characterized by randomness and the absence of a clear strategic plan to protect Iraq's money from smuggling, which prompted the US Treasury to impose strict and direct control over the Central Bank and Iraqi banks.

Iraqi banks are currently undergoing a rigorous evaluation process under the supervision of the US Treasury Department, which includes monitoring all banking operations and money transfers. This situation reflects the great challenges facing the Iraqi banking system in light of the ongoing efforts to reform it and improve its image before the international community.

On the other hand, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has repeatedly sought to ease these measures, trying to reach understandings with the American side. But there is strong resistance from Washington, which insists on correcting the course of the economic process and reforming the banking system in Iraq. Al-Sudani finds himself in a difficult position, as he must balance internal pressures and international demands.

In a broader context, the current situation reflects the complexity of the relationship between Iraq and the United States in the financial and banking sphere. While Iraq seeks to preserve its sovereignty and the independence of its banking system, the United States continues to exert pressure to ensure that the Iraqi banking system is not used to finance illicit activities.   LINK

Ripple Unveils RLUSD Webpage: Set to Compete with Tether and USDC

▪️RLUSD aims to compete with major stablecoins like Tether and USD Coin.
▪️Ripple’s strategic initiatives enhance the interoperability and utility of RLUSD.

Ripple Labs Inc. has developed a new webpage for its next stablecoin, RLUSD. The release has aroused widespread interest, with blockchain researcher Collin Brown noting that RLUSD intends to compete with big players Tether (USDT) and USD Coin.

This step demonstrates Ripple’s determination to increase its presence in the stablecoin sector, despite the changing regulatory landscape.

RLUSD Stablecoin to Leverage Ripple’s Cross-Border Network and XRP Ledger
The RLUSD stablecoin is expected to improve Ripple’s business operations by leveraging its current cross-border settlement network and the well-known Layer 1 protocol, XRP Ledger.

The stablecoin will be released on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, providing access to different ecosystems. This dual issuance adds significant liquidity to important trading pairs on certain centralized exchanges, increasing its utility and adoption.

The publication of the RLUSD webpage has fueled this enthusiasm, despite the fact that the stablecoin’s release date remains unknown.

On the other hand, as we previously reported, Monica Long, Ripple’s President, stressed the company’s focus on the XRPL EVM sidechain in their Q2 report, citing a collaboration with Axelar to improve interoperability. This strategic move is intended to improve the sidechain’s functioning and expand its use cases.

Also, according to a prior CNF report, Ripple has released 500 million XRP from escrow to an unnamed wallet, reportedly to assist liquidity and potential future initiatives.

Beside that, El Salvador is investigating the usage of XRP and Bitcoin for international trade with Russia, demonstrating the growing interest in Ripple’s solutions. This exploration is consistent with Ripple’s objective of improving cross-border transactions and providing more efficient financial services.

Meanwhile, according to CoinMarketCap, the XRP price is currently around $0.5458, down 4.47% over the last 24 hours. This also reflects a bearish position of 9.58% for the last 7 days.

Important Cardano Update Related to the Network’s Security: Details

“The alpha v1 release is just the beginning of the journey,” the team stated.

▪️Input Output launched the alpha v1 release of the partner chains toolkit for Cardano to enhance network security by leveraging stake pool operators (SPOs).
▪️Despite the disclosure, Cardano’s native token ADA remained around $0.38, with no significant price change.

The Alpha V1 Release
Input Output – a technology company responsible for the research and development of the Cardano blockchain – launched the alpha v1 release of the partner chains toolkit. 

The move aims to strengthen the network’s security by enabling developers to leverage Cardano’s extensive network of stake pool operators (SPOs).

“By leveraging SPOs, both new and existing networks can quickly increase their number of validators for a more robust and efficient security paradigm,” the announcement reads.

The process includes a toolkit that offers numerous innovations for developers, such as mixed validator committee, consensus model flexibility, SPO participation, opt-out capability, and more.

At the core of the initiative is “a unique committee selection algorithm” that uses Cardano data to create trusted committees. These innovations are responsible for generating a specified percentage of blocks, thereby improving security for new protocols.

The Input Output team added that the alpha v1 release is just the beginning of a long journey aimed at receiving feedback from the community.

“Stay tuned for some exciting new developments over the coming months, along with a detailed roadmap,” the team concluded.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

OpenEden Introduces Tokenized US Treasury Bills onto the XRP Ledger

"Tokenization platform OpenEden has announced that it will bring tokenized US Treasury bills (T-bills), a short-term US government debt obligation backed by the US Department of the Treasury, to the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and its users for the first time."

"The tokenization of T-bills onto the XRPL is a demonstration of how institutional access to decentralized finance (DeFi) is being driven by the tokenization of traditional real-world assets (RWAs).

The assets backing OpenEden’s TBILL tokens are invested in short-dated US T-bills and reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by US Treasuries. Minters are subject to stringent KYC and AML screening to ensure the highest security and regulatory compliance standards."

"Ripple, the leader in enterprise blockchain and crypto solutions, will also allocate USD$10 million into OpenEden’s TBILL tokens. This is part of a larger fund that Ripple will allocate to tokenized T-bills provided by OpenEden and other issuers."

"OpenEden’s tokenized US Treasury bills represent another exciting example of how all types of real-world assets are being tokenized to drive utility and new opportunities," said Markus Infanger, Senior Vice President, RippleX.

"Institutions are increasingly looking at where to tokenize their real-world assets and the arrival of T-bills on the XRPL powered by OpenEden reinforces the decentralized Layer 1 blockchain as one of the leading blockchains for real-world asset tokenization.”

"Bringing tokenized T-bills to the XRP Ledger is the next step in our exciting journey. Purchasers will be able to mint our TBILL tokens via STABLECOINS, including Ripple USD when it launches later this year.”

"Ripple also recently announced its work with Archax, the UK’s first Financial Conduct Authority regulated digital asset exchange, broker and custodian, that plans to bring hundreds of millions of dollars of tokenized real world assets (RWAs) onto the XRPL over the coming year."

Earn 4.97%* U.S. Treasury yields on-chain

"The only tokenized U.S. Treasury product with an “A” rating from Moody’s."

Moody’s Credit Rating
OpenEden’s TBILL is the first and only tokenized product to receive an “investment grade” rating by Moody’s.

"Gain exposure to U.S. Treasuries without the constraints of U.S. trading hours. TBILL token holders enjoy 24/7 minting & redemption, thanks to smart contracts. DeFi projects can build on TBILL's ERC-20 tokens."

TBILL tokens are audited, transparent, and verifiable
"Like you, we live by “don’t trust, verify”. Which is why we launched the market’s first proof-of-reserves that combines off-chain and on-chain auditability. Here is how we open the books."

@ Newshounds News™

~~~~~~~~~

The OpenEden TBILL tokens are ETHEREUM-BASED ERC-20 standards that are TRANSFERABLE between different blockchain wallets.

"Former senior officials at the Gemini crypto exchange announced that OpenEden, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, had launched the first smart contract vault to offer access to US Treasury Bills (T-Bills). According to the announcement, OpenEden will enable stablecoins holders to mint Treasury Bills (T-BILL) tokens through the OpenEden T-BILL Vaul. "

"According to OpenEden, the TBILL tokens are Ethereum-based ERC-20 standards that are transferable between different blockchain wallets."

"There is around $130 billion worth of stablecoins sitting on the sidelines and not generating any meaningful yield. As DeFi yields continue to lag further behind traditional financial asset yields, there is a growing demand for institutional-grade DeFi products that offer low-risk, liquid, and transparent returns to stablecoin holders.”

"By tokenizing real-world assets, OpenEden hopes to open up the blockchain industry to a $300 trillion market that is yet to be tapped on a global scale. Moreover, the cryptocurrency market is about $1 trillion despite being in existence for the past 14 years."

Tishwash:  Legal violations” in the work of the Central Bank prompt demands to replace its governor, Ali Al-Alaq

 Today, Saturday, the economic expert, Abbas Al-Bassel, stressed the necessity of replacing the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, in light of the violations committed by the Central Bank against the constitution and the law.

Al-Basel told Al-Jarida, “When Al-Alaq was brought in, the work of the corrupt whales among the politicians became active, as they invested in dollars and the private sector was terminated, while the Central Bank imposed unnatural complications by launching a campaign against simple shops and kiosks in the markets of Shorja and Karrada, and preventing the sale of electrical and food supplies and even clothing in dollars, and taking pledges from shop owners to prevent dealing in dollars, and punishing them in the event of a violation, in procedures that have no legal ceiling or a judge’s decision, so the Central Bank violated the constitution and the law.”

Al-Bassel added, "The dollar is currently on the rise, at a time when there is no official announcement by the Central Bank about the volume of remittances leaving the country, so Ali Al-Alaq must be replaced with a professional, non-partisan figure."  link

Tishwash:  Al-Fath: Foreign banks in Iraq do not have cash value

Today, Saturday, member of the Al-Fatah Alliance, Mahmoud Al-Hayani, revealed the presence of large corruption files within the Iraqi banking business and the involvement of major figures, while confirming that foreign banks in Iraq do not have monetary value that benefits Iraq. 

Al-Hayani said in a statement to the Maalouma Agency, “Foreign and Jordanian banks in particular do not have through which they can supply the Iraqi market funds with the monetary mass, and their presence inside Iraq does more harm than good,” noting that “The Central Bank of Iraq was unable to find solutions and did not rise to the level.” "Required". 

He continued, "The reason for the entry of foreign banks into the country is due to American dictates exercised on the Central Bank in order to grant them licenses to operate in Iraq according to special privileges," pointing out that, "The Iraqi government needs support from the political forces and concerted efforts in order to distance the banking business from suspicion.” And corruption.”  

The economic expert, Mustafa Akram Hantoush, had confirmed that the measure taken by the Central Bank of Iraq was to grant business licenses to Jordanian banks and operate in the country, indicating that it was the duty of the Central Bank to strengthen Iraqi banks instead of Jordanian ones.  link

Repeated violations of sovereignty and the presence of the international coalition put Iraqi military leaders before two bitter choices

 Academic Talib Mohammed commented on Wednesday on the repeated violation of national sovereignty with the escalation of demands to end the foreign military presence, especially the American one, in Iraq.

He pointed out that Iraqi military leaders are confused between declaring readiness and bearing the consequences of that, or confirming the need for the international coalition and bearing various charges, which requires strengthening trust between the government, political forces and military leaders in order to reach a decision that they will be held accountable for before the Iraqi people and history.

“The breach of Iraqi national sovereignty has become a common occurrence, considering that the last strike in Babylon came as part of a series of multiple and qualitative strikes in Iraq. Therefore, Iraqi sovereignty is breached through hostile strikes, whether from neighboring countries or the Zionist entity. The Israeli strikes are linked to an Israeli approach to control and change the nature of the region, meaning imposing force and continuing these strikes until a new political path is achieved in the region, and this path is controlled by Israel and America,” Mohammed told Al-Jarida.

He added, "As for the Iraqi military position, after the victory over terrorist organizations, the last of which was ISIS, it sent a message that the military institution is capable of leading itself, but on the condition of completing the logistical and technical matters, military equipment, and security and military liaison with the international coalition."

He continued, “In light of the presence of political blocs that want to end the foreign military presence in Iraq, especially the American one, the decision in this regard should be issued after studying the situation and the social, popular, economic and political reality to give a mature decision that we will not regret in the future, which requires the Iraqi military leaders to study the situation, whether the Iraqi forces are ready and do not need other countries, and if they are capable, they should announce this to the Iraqi public opinion and this issue depends on the Iraqi Council of Representatives.”

“But the Iraqi military leaders are confused about this aspect,” Mohammed added. “If they confirm readiness and do not need the international coalition, a security breach may occur and they may be blamed for confirming readiness. However, if the military leaders say the opposite, that they need the international coalition, they may be exposed to other accusations. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen trust between the government, political forces, and military leaders in order to reach a decision that they will be held accountable for before the Iraqi people and history.”  link
