Tishwash:  Former MP: Iraq's financial autonomy is lost because of Washington


On Monday, former member of the Finance Committee, Muhammad Al-Shabki, accused Washington of dominating the oil revenues in the US Federal Bank. 

Al-Shabki said in a statement to the “Al-Ma’louma” agency, “There are issues imposed on Iraq and domination of the Iraqi economy by the United States,” noting that “this policy that America placed on Iraq is the reason for the calamity in its economic situation.” 

He added, “Iraq does not have autonomy over its money coming from oil exports in the US Federal Bank,” calling on the government to “be freed from this pressure and have a say in reformulating the relationship with the Americans.”

He added, “Iraq does not have autonomy over its money coming from oil exports in the US Federal Bank,” calling on the government to “be freed from this pressure and have a say in reformulating the relationship with the Americans.” 

He stated that "Iraq is asking the American side for a lot of money, which represents the proceeds of the amounts in the Federal Bank." 

Earlier, a member of the Al-Fatah Alliance, Ali Hussein, warned in a statement to the Al-Ma'louma Agency about the American control over the oil financial revenues in the Federal Bank, accusing Washington of exploiting this control to exert pressure on Iraq. link

Tishwash:  The power of the "Federal Forces"... Iraq is moving to achieve financial autonomy

The United States of America still dominates the Iraqi economy through economic agreements concluded by Washington according to what primarily serves its interests, as the American administration seeks to block the way for those trying to rid the country of its control over Iraqi oil sales funds. 

The United States of America continues to impose its influence on Iraq in many vital files, including depositing the funds from the sale of Iraqi oil in the US Federal Bank, amid clear blackmail by passing many files, most notably the dollar bill, which puts great pressure on the government.  

Iraq seeks to get rid of this dominance by depositing the money in the Federal Bank and sending it directly to the Central Bank. 

Speaking about this file, Al-Fatah Alliance member Ali Hussein calls on the government to seek to find alternatives and take the step of liberating the country from the dominance of the dollar and the continuing American sanctions, while stressing that Iraq's move towards lifting the restrictions of the US Federal Bank is a must.  

Hussein said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “It will be a bold step, but it will succeed if the atmosphere is created and contracts are made with alternative international banks,” noting that “it is necessary to bring in companies from international countries.” that do not deal in the US dollar.”  

He continues, “Entering into the Shanghai system and other global organizations will be the first stage of liberation from the dollar,” adding that “the movement to end the dollar’s ​​hegemony over the world, led by major countries, has greatly succeeded.”  

He adds, “Contracting from companies from Eastern countries and bringing them to work inside Iraq will avoid the economic blockade,” pointing out that “the government is required to seek to find alternatives and take the step of liberating the country from the dominance of the dollar and American sanctions."   link

STELLAR Blockchain Chosen for New EURT Euro-Pegged STABLECOIN Initiative

"Ireland-based electronic money institution (EMI) DECTA is partnering with French fintech company Next Generation to introduce a new Euro-pegged stablecoin, ‘EURT’.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

STELLAR Blockchain Chosen for New EURT Euro-Pegged STABLECOIN Initiative

"Ireland-based electronic money institution (EMI) DECTA is partnering with French fintech company Next Generation to introduce a new Euro-pegged stablecoin, ‘EURT’.

The collaboration aims to create a fully compliant stablecoin that adheres to the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations and operates on the Stellar blockchain, alongside three additional platforms."

"Next Generation, which has close ties with Tempo France, previously launched EURT with the Stellar Foundation as one of the first stablecoins in 2017. 

However, the project was suspended due to the lack of a regulatory framework. The implementation of MiCA now provides a structured environment, facilitating the relaunch of this project."

"As of 1 July 2024, the new MiCA regulations permit the issuance of Euro-pegged stablecoins exclusively by credit institutions or EMIs within the EU. With its EMI license from the Central Bank of Ireland, DECTA is well-positioned to be a pioneering issuer under these new regulations."

“The implementation of MiCA has ushered in a new era in the history of modern digital finance in Europe,” said Suren Hayriyan, president of Next Generation. “The demand for Euro stablecoins is extremely high. Companies, entrepreneurs, and private users today lose a lot on forced conversions.

"The firms plan to launch EURT in October, aligning with strategic goals and regulatory milestones. The partners emphasize the SIGNIFICANCE OF REGULATION, indicating that UNREGULATED Euro-denominated stablecoins will no longer have a place in the market"

ARE CBDC'S A FORM OF CRYPTOCURRENCY?

THIS ARTICLE IS VERY COMPREHENSIVE AND WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND CLICKING THE LINK TO THE FULL ARTICLE FOR REVIEW

"Although CBDCs are a form of digital currency, they are not a cryptocurrency. Compared to cryptocurrencies, CBDCs are centralized, meaning they’re issued and regulated by a monetary authority — in this case, a country’s government.

They’re also considered legal tender and hold the same status as any traditional fiat currency issued by a central bank. Finally, by virtue of the fact that CBDCs are based on fiat currency, they’re far less volatile than cryptocurrencies, whose value is determined by market forces and speculative activity."

"While both CBDCs and cryptocurrencies have their advantages and disadvantages, the general consensus is that they are two very different things, with different implications for the economy and society at large."

"The decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies has also accelerated innovation in cross-border payments — for example, RIPPLE, a Real-Time Gross Settlement system, has successfully built a global payment ecosystem with the XRP cryptocurrency at its core."

"The growing popularity of cryptocurrencies has created increased competition for central banks, which have realized that they need to offer instant, electronic payments to stay current and maintain market share."

"There’s been some confusion recently around the relationship between FedNow and CBDCs, with some wondering whether FedNow is a CBDC. To cut right to the chase: No, it is not, and the two are fundamentally different.

CBDCs are not a payment mechanism, but rather a form of currency and a digital means of storing value. FedNow, however, is a payment mechanism — in other words, it’s a means of moving funds from one bank account to another.

"To put things into perspective, the FedNow Service can be likened to a highway system, providing a fast and efficient infrastructure for the movement of payments between financial institutions.

 CBDCs enable central banks to compete with private-sector offerings by providing a wider array of services to consumers, including a more stable, secure alternative to cryptocurrencies.

There’s also a cost-saving incentive to CBDCs, as electronic payments are less expensive to process — both for governments and financial institutions — than paper-based payments."

"Looking to the future, FedNow, digital payments, ISO 20022, and CBDCs will be transformational not only for businesses within the financial services industry but for anyone who uses financial services. In the long run, they will coexist with cryptocurrencies, providing consumers and businesses with a wide range of complementary mechanisms for the digital transfer of value."

Welcome To Black Swan Monday

Markets Crashing Across the World

Federal Reserve Calls Emergency Meeting

Withdraw all Funds From Your Banks Right Now!!!

By Mon. morning 5 Aug. 2024 looming World War III in the Middle East and US Recession fears had sparked sell outs in international Markets with Oil, Crypto and Stocks down across the Globe. The New York Stock Market 24 Hour Trading was halted even before the Market opened, and then at that opening, the Dow dropped 1,000 points. Japanese Stock losses exceeded $830 billion, the Aussie market lost $77 Billion in the Monday Morning Bloodbath and Taiwan’s Stock Market suffered it’s worst losses since 1967.

A World-Wide Call For Fast and Prayer:
Pray for a Restoration of Freedom for People of the World.

It’s only wise to have at least a month’s supply of food, water, cash, medicine and essential items on hand for yourself, your family and to share with others in case of emergency.

Travel Advisory: “Due to the unpredictable and volatile nature of the Global situation U.S citizens should shelter in a safe place, and strongly consider returning to the United States when safe to do so.”

Global Financial Crisis: Mon. 5 Aug. 2024 Current situation: https://nypost.com/2024/08/05/business/bloodbath-on-wall-street-as-dow-nasdaq-futures-plunge-amid-recession-fears/

On Mon. morning 5 Aug. 2024 New York Stock Market 24 Hour Trading was halted even before the Market opened, while at that Opening the Dow dropped 1,000 points. Japanese stock losses exceeded $570 billion. Japanese banks have lost $85 billion due to panic selling on Monday, Bloomberg reports. Taiwan’s stock market suffered it’s worst losses since 1967. Bitcoin has dropped below $50,000!

Mon. 5 Aug. 2024 Multiple brokerages, including Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, TD Ameritrade, E-Trade, UPS, Century Link and Interactive Brokers, are currently down and reporting errors amid market crashes.

Everyone is confused right now as to why the stock market is recovering. Let me explain it to you. The Market Makers are manipulating the market as they always have, they are pushing blue chip stocks back up, killing options prices so people sell, pushing #Bitcoin as high as they can, and they are shorting #silver, #gold, #XRP, #ISO20022 tokens, and meme stocks like $AMC $DJT $GME just as they always have on any given day. BUT THIS IS FINANCIALLY CRIPPLING THEM.

That is where the BLACK SWAN comes in. Right now its manageable, it HURTS, but its do-able. BUT once the SWAN happens its NO longer MANAGABLE. They will turn the POWER OFF to protect their POWER. But when STARLINK turns us back on using QUANTUM power, the stock market and crypto markets will go into FREE FALL. Creating the largest stock market crash the world has ever seen.

They will no longer be able to manipulate fast enough or high enough to keep them from financial collapse and this is when the APES rise. We HODL for our number and when we sell, IF WE SELL, we take what money they still have left creating the BIGGEST WEALTH TRANSFER IN HISTORY. The powers that have unknowingly run this world keeping us systematically enslaved will be destroyed with the FLIP OF A SWITCH. While they become the next LEHMAN BROTHERS. The PERFECT STORM OF FINANCE creating a FINANCIAL REVOLUTION. Welcome to the GREAT AWAKENING.

Three-Quarters of Banks Face Digital Banking Infrastructure Issues The banking industry is experiencing a seismic shift as agile, digital-native FinTechs capture an ever-growing share of the market.

Three-Quarters of Banks Face Digital Banking Infrastructure Issues

The banking industry is experiencing a seismic shift as agile, digital-native FinTechs capture an ever-growing share of the market. 

Burdened by outdated technology, traditional financial institutions face mounting challenges in delivering modern digital services. 

The growing dominance of FinTechs — securing nearly half of all new account openings — highlights the urgency for banks to modernize their infrastructure.

With consumer expectations rapidly evolving toward seamless digital experiences, banks must navigate the high costs and complexities of updating their core systems. 

Exploring incremental modernization through application programming interfaces (APIs) may offer a viable path forward, enabling banks to enhance their digital capabilities and remain relevant in an increasingly competitive landscape.

A recent PYMNTS Intelligence Report, “Core Strength: FIs Must Modernize to Meet the FinTech Challenge,” in collaboration with Galileo, highlights the urgent need for traditional financial institutions to overhaul their outdated systems to keep pace with digital-native competitors. 

The report reveals that 75% of banks struggle with implementing new digital solutions due to their legacy infrastructure, underscoring the critical nature of modernization efforts. 

As FinTechs continue to capture a growing market share, banks face mounting pressure to adopt agile technologies and innovative approaches.

The crypto market has just witnessed its largest three-day sell-off in 12 months amid weak jobs data in the US and revived fears of a recession.

The crypto market has just clocked its most significant three-day sell-off in almost a year, shedding as much as $510 billion from its total market capitalization since Aug. 2.

The sharp crypto sell-off arrived amid faltering equities performance, with the S&P 500 falling as much as 4.4% in the same time frame.

The market stumble has been led by weak employment data, slowed growth among major tech stocks and revived fears of a recession.

Several major companies, including Microsoft and Intel, posted lower-than-expected second-quarter results, and market leader Nvidia was battered by expectations of impending rate cuts in September, which has seen capital flow back into smaller, lagging companies.

The total crypto market capitalization fell by $314 billion on Aug. 5. Source: TradingView

The last time crypto sold off this sharply over a three-day period was in mid-August of 2023.

BTC and ETH are down 20% and 28%, respectively, in the last seven days.

Layer-1 network Solana’s has been the hardest-hit cryptocurrency among the top 10 largest tokens by market cap, falling 30.6% since July 30.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index 
— an indicator that tracks market sentiment toward Bitcoin and crypto — has fallen back into “fear” and currently displays a score of 26 at the time of publication, according to Alternative.me.

This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.

This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.

Notes From the Field By James Hickman / Simon Black   August 5, 2024

Athenian general Miltiades was already a hero across ancient Greece when he set sail for the island of Paros in 489 BC.

Born into stardom as the son and nephew of famous Olympic champions, Miltiades made a name for himself as one of the most important and successful commanders in the Greek war against Persia.

In fact, Miltiades was responsible for devising the incredibly unique, surprise battle plan that confounded the Persian army at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. The Greeks were vastly outnumbered and outmatched... but they annihilated the Persians thanks to Miltiades’ tactical genius, making him an instant celebrity-hero throughout the region.

This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.

Notes From the Field By James Hickman / Simon Black   August 5, 2024

Athenian general Miltiades was already a hero across ancient Greece when he set sail for the island of Paros in 489 BC.

Born into stardom as the son and nephew of famous Olympic champions, Miltiades made a name for himself as one of the most important and successful commanders in the Greek war against Persia.

In fact, Miltiades was responsible for devising the incredibly unique, surprise battle plan that confounded the Persian army at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. The Greeks were vastly outnumbered and outmatched... but they annihilated the Persians thanks to Miltiades’ tactical genius, making him an instant celebrity-hero throughout the region.

So, when he approached the Athenian government the following year and requested to lead a special mission to reclaim lost Greek territory in the Aegean Sea, they approved his mission without question. And the Hero of Marathon set sail a few months later with a fleet of 70 ships.

Unfortunately for Miltiades, his voyage was a total disaster; his fleet was nearly vanquished, he lost a great number of men, and he was unable to take the island of Paros. So, when he returned to Athens, all of his former heroics were forgotten… and people wanted his head. Literally.

It was commonplace in ancient Greece for politicians and military leaders to be held accountable for their decisions; many were even put on trial at the end of their rule and had their administrations publicly scrutinized.

These weren’t political witch hunts; rather, they were a form of checks-and-balances whereby anyone found to have been truly incompetent, disloyal, or duplicitous would be severely punished.

Miltiades-- again, the Hero of Marathon-- was charged with treason for causing such severe and embarrassing losses in his ill-fated Paros expedition. He was tried, convicted, and ultimately sentenced to death… however this was eventually reduced to a fine of 50 talents (roughly $10 million in today’s money) and a lengthy prison sentence.

Sometimes I feel like the Greeks were really on to something.

Sure, the world is complicated, and there’s never any guarantee of success in warfare, business, life, politics, etc. Decision makers don’t have a crystal ball and rarely have perfect information… so there can never be any certainty about future outcomes.

But leaders have a moral and legal obligation to always do their best… and to make rational decisions and take sensible risks. Most importantly, whenever there’s new information, they have an obligation to challenge their own decisions and adjust course if necessary.

Failure to do so is arrogant, deliberate incompetence.

We saw this all throughout the pandemic; at first, there was very little information available, and politicians’ knee-jerk reaction was to enact the most extreme measures.

But six-months later there was plenty of data. And politicians had plenty of opportunity to review the updated information, summon their courage, and make better, more rational decisions.

Some places (Florida) did. Others (New York, California) stuck to their failed, idiotic, destructive policies. They kept people locked down, they kept the schools closed, and they exacted an incalculable toll on their citizens.

But they will never be held accountable for their incompetence. Instead, they end up on lucrative speaking tours, awarded highly paid consulting or board positions, or advanced outrageous sums for their memoirs.

And this leads me to what’s happening in England right now.

As you’re probably aware, a sick-o teenager in northern England stabbed a bunch of kids last week in a horrifying rampage. Nine children were wounded, and at least three have died.

Rumors quickly circulated that the attacker was a Muslim refugee who had arrived by boat to England’s shores, and violent riots quickly broke out across the country.

The government and media were quick to correct the rumor; the 17-year-old attacker (he turns 18 on Wednesday) was born in the UK and is the son of Rwandan immigrants.

Then they further denounced the rioters as “far right” and “racist”, and the Prime Minister threatened to use the full force of the law against them.

Look, it’s completely inexcusable for rioters to engage in violence and destruction of property. But it’s also inexcusable for politicians to run their country into the ground.

The media has been quick to condemn the rioters. But they are completely silent, and frankly complicit, regarding the destruction of their country.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

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 dollarIssued 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.

He continued that "the stability of the monetary market has a direct impact on the general financial situation," adding that "the labor market is unstable in terms of selling currency, which casts a shadow over the general monetary situation."  link

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.

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.

Zimbabwe Gold ZiG Currency is Bringing Humanity Closer to the GCR

How the Zimbabwe Gold ZiG is Reshaping the Future Global Currency System Today

The resurgence of gold as a global currency is becoming a reality, with Zimbabwe leading the way. The introduction of the Zimbabwe Gold ZiG currency has sparked significant interest and marked a seminal shift in the global financial landscape.

Zimbabwe’s approach provides a glimpse into humanity’s promising financial future.

In This Article:

  • What is the Zimbabwe Gold ZiG?

  • Is the Zimbabwe Gold ZiG Currency Being Used?

  • How has the ZiG helped Zimbabwe’s Economy?

  • Will the Gold ZiG Replace the US Dollar in Zimbabwe?

  • Is the Zimbabwe Gold ZiG a Part of a GCR?

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

AZPatriot:  Why does this sound bad IMO??? I think President Reagan said is best of the 9 most feared words to Americans, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help"!
