Tishwash:  A deputy reveals the results of the war on “hard currency” smuggling

On Thursday, Representative Yasser Iskandar revealed the results of the war on the smuggling of hard currency from Iraq. 

Iskandar said in an interview with Al-Maalouma, “The smuggling of hard currency is one of the tools that drain the economy and creates an anomaly in the balance of exchange rates and pushes the parallel market to rise, which leads to excessive prices in the markets, the price of which is paid by the simple people.” 

He added, “The efforts of the Ministry of Interior with the Central Bank and supporting formations contributed to reducing the file of hard currency smuggling by 80%, while directing 11 specific strikes to companies and offices dealing in the file of selling currency illegally.” 

He pointed out that "currency smuggling is part of corruption that requires exceptional efforts to dismantle it, and government committees are continuing to expose it day after day." 

It is noteworthy that the smuggling of hard currency leads to an increase in exchange rates in Iraq, which puts pressure on the markets and leads to the emergence of excessive prices.   link

Tishwash:  Parliamentary Oil Committee reveals details of oil smuggling from the region to Iranian ports

The Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee revealed, on Thursday, the details of oil smuggling from the Kurdistan Region to Iranian ports, explaining that this operation caused a crisis in the transfer of crude oil between Iraqi refineries.

The committee’s deputy chairman, Adnan al-Jaberi, said in a press interview, “We have seen a document issued by the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) regarding the smuggling of oil from the Kurdistan Region to Iranian ports,” noting that “this document states that oil is smuggled from Erbil and Sulaymaniyah via tankers through the Bashmakh and Pirouz Khan crossings.”

Al-Jabri added, "The document revealed that the price of transporting one ton of crude oil to Iran is $135," noting that "this issue caused an internal crisis in the land transport of oil, considering that most of the tankers are private and have turned towards loading these smuggled materials, and there has been a defect in the transport of official oil, because SOMO pays $33 per official ton, while the cost of transporting smuggled oil reaches $135 per ton, and thus most of the tankers have turned to transporting smuggled oil."

Al-Jaberi continued, "This crisis has caused the accumulation of crude oil in a number of refineries, which has affected the quantity of petroleum derivatives in these refineries," noting that "the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee is following up on this issue with importance, and we will host general managers in this regard."   link

Member-countries of Eurasian banks council can agree upon common approaches in ESG sphere

Countries identified resolution of issues related to disclosure of reports in the sustainable development sphere and the expansion of the range of financial products in ESG among key tasks during the three next years

MOSCOW, August 15. /TASS/. All member-countries of the Eurasian Council of Central (National) Banks (ECB) informed about their involvement in the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and climatic transition agenda, according to data of the poll held by the Bank of Russia.

Countries identified resolution of issues related to disclosure of reports in the sustainable development sphere and the expansion of the range of financial products in ESG among key tasks during the three next years.

"Several ECB countries issued regulatory legislative acts or documents of advisory nature, describing requirements/recommendations as regards the disclosure of information by public companies and financial institutions in the sustainable development sphere. 

The next step can be agreement of unified approaches to disclosure of information in sustainable development sphere in ECB space, which can provide in particular for development of the common capital market to finance sustainable development," the Bank of Russia said.

Furthermore, harmonization of approaches to sustainable (including green) kinds of activity and joint analysis of practices of assigning ESG ratings and their methodologies are possible over time, which will contribute to further development of the sustainable development financing market.

ECB countries noted significance of arising climatic risks and recognized the need to assess these risks and roll out approaches towards their recording and regulation. 

"The majority of countries considers over time the possibility of introducing regulation for banks in management of climatic risks within the framework of internal procedures of capital adequacy assessment and risk-sensitive stimulating regulation," the Bank of Russia said.

IOTA Enhances Trust and Security in European Identity Wallets for E-Commerce

▪️The European Identity Wallet is set to transform identity verification by allowing users to log in to websites without the need for passwords, while sharing verified information with ease.

▪️The integration of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and decentralized identifiers (DIDs) is seen as a key step in combating these issues, with organizations like IOTA and Impierce Technologies leading efforts.

The implementation of the European Identity Wallet is nearing 2026, with several organizations exploring its potential while focusing on user authentication. 

This wallet will revolutionize identity verification by offering users a secure and seamless way to confirm their identity with greater certainty.

The IOTA Foundation is one of the key organizations working towards making the European Identity Wallet project a success.

Along with user authentication, Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) has been gaining traction in the B2B sector, particularly in trade and finance. Furthermore, the European Identity Wallet currently lacks support for organizational identification. Thus, its correct usage can help restore trust in digital spaces by combating crypto scams and frauds.

With the upcoming eIDAS 2.0 regulations, users will be able to log in to any complaint website using the European Identity Wallet without having to create an account or password.

Furthermore, this Wallet will allow users to share verified information, including email, age, address, and contact numbers, just with a click of a button.

This helps reduce customer friction while streamlining the overall eCommerce experience. The mutual authentication enabled by this process benefits both the user and the website, helping to build trust on both sides.

A Proof-of-Concept project, UniMe, seeks to get certified as a European Identity Wallet after recently updating its login flow. The user has to do domain verification to validate the identity. Furthermore, UniMe employs other trust layers, giving the user confidence that they are logging into a secure website.

IOTA Helps to Build the Trust in Digital Identity

One of the biggest challenges today is establishing trust between users, websites, and businesses, especially in a B2B environment amid the rampant spread of scam emails, fraudulent invoices, fake social media accounts, and deceptive websites. With online space facing such threats, the concept of “don’t trust but verify” is becoming even more essential.

The upcoming eIDAS 2.0 regulation and the European Identity Wallet offer a promising solution to restore trust. This regulatory shift aims to provide companies with the necessary tools to protect users, customers, and clients from online fraud. 

Impierce Technologies is at the forefront of this initiative, developing core technology components that allow businesses to participate in a trusted information exchange ecosystem.

The solution uses the decentralized identifiers (DIDs) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to create unique identifiers for companies.

This system can operate either without blockchain using did: web or be published to blockchain platforms such as EBSI or IOTA, enhancing trust in the verified identity, as reported by CNF.

Furthermore, according to the CNF report, the European Sandbox Initiative selected IOTA’s Web3 ID solution earlier in June.

Telegram mini-app TON Turbo allegedly an exit scam

After many users raised concerns about withdrawals, a Telegram mini-app called TON Turbo began scrubbing its digital footprint.

TON Turbo, a project built atop The Open Network, offers users so-called Toncoin mining rigs to generate profits by depositing crypto via a Telegram chat box. The mining rigs promised nearly doubled returns on the initial capital, with an opportunity to earn TON and prominent memecoin Shiba Inu .

However, several aspiring miners using the platform reported withdrawal difficulties. Replies on the project’s Telegram channel suggested its deposit mechanism was a one-way corridor.

Additionally, TON is a proof-of-stake blockchain where validators are the key network contributors. Mining typically refers to proof-of-work networks like Bitcoin, which relies on participants called miners to validate transactions and discover new coins.

Once users sent crypto to the virtual mining rig, it seemingly churned profits over time, but withdrawing rewards was impossible. When users pointed out the issue, TON Turbo disabled customer support and locked its chat rooms.

The protocol closed replies between July 27 and Aug. 5, but the team continued to post promotional updates on X and Telegram.

TON Turbo ghosts customers

TON Turbo claimed to have secured several marquee partnerships, including with The Open Network, Tonkeeper, Telegram mini-game Dogs, and Shiba Inu.

These claims were unverified, and crypto.news could not find proof of said partnerships outside of TON Turbo’s announcements. Requests for comments sent to TON Turbo admins were unanswered at press time.

Project admins had deleted their Telegram accounts, and the private social network tagged updates on TON Turbo’s channel as a “scam.”

Social media and the project’s Telegram channel signaled that hundreds to thousands of investors tried using the supposed Telegram mining rig. How many users may have suffered losses is unknown, and how much was lost to this apparent exit scam remains to be seen.

Tishwash:  As the region continues to steal oil...the oil and gas law is in the parliament's drawers

The draft oil and gas law is one of the most controversial issues between the political blocs and the Kurdish national component.

The Kurds continue to steal Iraqi oil and sell it on the black market for half its market value, which is a huge waste of the country's financial resources.

Independent politician Adnan Abdullah confirmed on Thursday that oil smuggled from the Kurdistan region is sold for less than half its value.

Abdullah told Al-Maalouma, “The region smuggles about 300,000 barrels per day, and this is no secret and the government and all political forces know about it.”

He added, "The smuggled oil is sold for less than half its value, which is what drives some brokers in neighboring countries to deal with the smuggling file due to the large profits, noting that" mutual interests with some forces in Baghdad push for not opening this sensitive file."

He pointed out that "oil smuggling is illegal and represents a drain on the national wealth that everyone must preserve and its management must be federal."

It is noteworthy that oil smuggling operations from the Kurdistan Region have been ongoing for years by some of the ruling parties in the region.

Despite the government's moves to end the violations of the region's oil exports by passing the Oil and Gas Law, the obstacle of the Kurdish parties is what is pushing to suspend the law by objecting to the paragraphs and articles of the law that will end the region's Violations in the operations of extracting and exporting oil through the Turkish port of Ceyhan.

The  continuous objection and the placing of obstacles are due to preventing the approval of the law that may end the theft of contracts with foreign extraction companies in which the Barzani government is a major partner, in addition to ending the seizure of oil revenues and the positions They control as a result of exporting independently of the central government and the national SOMO company. 

The Kurdish objection is centered on the paragraph of the control of the National Marketing Company (SOMO) over the operations of extracting, exporting and selling oil and gas.

Legal experts confirmed that all the articles that the Kurdish parties object to are not legal and constitutional, but rather in order to continue seizing the country's wealth.  

The sources indicate that the Kurdish parties exploit the weakness of the governments in order to obtain high percentages of money, oil and gas revenues, and the approval of the law will end all these operations.

This is one of the reasons for not passing the oil and gas law from the House of Representatives, due to the major political differences that will keep the law in the drawers of the House of Representatives.

Member of the committee, MP Mohammed Anouz, ruled out today, Thursday, the ability of the political blocs to pass the oil and gas law and some other controversial laws.

Anouz told the / Al-Maalouma / agency, “The legal committee has a number of controversial laws that cannot be passed due to the political differences over them.”

He added, "There are laws that cannot see the light during this session due to the deep differences, most notably the oil and gas law that has not been decided for four previous parliamentary sessions."
He confirmed that the law will be postponed to the next session in the hope that it will find consensus on it.   link

Tishwash:  State Department in response to US State Department spokesman: There are no US forces in Iraq except for military advisors

BRICS Move Gold-Backed 'Unit' Plans Forward Ahead Of October Meeting In Kazan

Arcadia Economics:  8-14-2024

Various Russian officials have made comments alluding to a greater gold involvement in the monetary system ever since (and in some ways even before) they were kicked out of the SWIFT system in 2022.

Yet while there have been no formal announcements, signs of progress have been emerging. And 2 months ago Matt Riley joined me on the show to talk about 'the Unit,' which is a proposal for a payment settlement currency that would include a 40% gold backing.

Today Matt returns to the show and provides an update on how the plan is evolving ahead of the BRICS October meeting, and whether he expects an announcement at that meeting.

We also talk about whether a successful Unit would ultimately force the west to put some sort of collateral behind their own currencies, and whether he expects people to front-run the move if the plan continues to progress and eventually become more public.

While we don't yet know the ultimate outcome, evidence of the possibility of a potentially landscape-changing transition continues to emerge.

Global Currency Reset: Record Bank Gold Buying Happening Now

Global Currency Reset: Record Bank Gold Buying Happening Now

On August 13, 2024  By Awake-In-3D

Central Banks Are Stockpiling Gold Like There is No Tomorrow as They Prepare for a Global Currency Reset

As economies around the world face challenges like rising debt and inflation, I think we can all agree that we’re on the verge of a significant financial system shift—a “global currency reset.”

In recent years, there’s been a growing sense that the current global financial system, which relies heavily on paper money (or fiat currencies), is clearly on its path to a logical conclusion in the form of a worldwide systemic crash.

This means that countries will move away from relying solely on traditional fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar and instead turn to something real, like gold, to back their currencies.

To prepare for this possible reset, central banks in various countries have been buying large amounts of gold. They see gold as a safe and reliable asset that can protect their economies if the value of paper fiat currency falls.

This article will explore why central banks are making these moves and what it means for the future of our financial system.

In This Article:

1. Record Gold Purchases by Central Banks in 2024 Signal Preparation for a Global Currency Reset

2. Key Factors Driving Central Bank Gold Accumulation

3. How Gold Will Anchor a Global Currency Reset

4. The Global Economic Impact of Central Banks’ Gold Strategy

As concerns about the stability of the global fiat currency system grow, central banks around the world are aggressively purchasing gold.

By mid-2024, these purchases had set a new record, indicating preparations for an impending global currency reset.

Central banks added a net 483 tons of gold in the first six months of the year, reflecting a strategic move towards gold as a hedge against the risks of the current financial system.

Record Gold Purchases by Central Banks in 2024 Signal Preparation for a Global Currency Reset

Central banks globally have been on a gold-buying spree in 2024, with a net addition of 483 tons in the first half of the year.

This surge represents a 5 percent increase from the previous record of 460 tons set in the first half of 2023. Despite a slight slowdown in the second quarter, central banks bought 183 tons of gold during this period, a figure that remains historically high.

This activity is largely driven by concerns over a potential global currency reset, as trust in the fiat currency system continues to erode.

Key Factors Driving Central Bank Gold Accumulation

The concept of a global currency reset is gaining traction as central banks increasingly view gold as a safeguard against the vulnerabilities of the current financial system.

Countries like China, India, and Turkey have significantly increased their gold reserves, reflecting their strategic intent to diversify away from fiat currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar. China, which paused its official gold purchases in May and June, is speculated to be acquiring gold off the books, contributing to the demand.

This move aligns with broader concerns about the sustainability of the fiat currency system and the potential for a financial reset anchored by gold.

How Gold Will Anchor a Global Currency Reset

The possibility of a global currency reset is prompting central banks to accumulate gold, positioning it as a key element in a new financial system.

With the fiat currency system showing signs of strain—exacerbated by high levels of debt and inflation in major economies—gold is being viewed as a stable alternative. Poland, for instance, has made significant strides to increase the share of gold in its total reserves to 20 percent.

This strategy reflects a broader trend where central banks are preparing for a possible transition to a gold-backed system, which could offer more stability in a rapidly changing economic landscape.

The Global Economic Impact of Central Banks’ Gold Strategy

The strategic accumulation of gold by central banks is a clear indicator that a global currency reset is on the horizon.

The World Gold Council’s recent survey reveals that nearly 30 percent of central banks plan to add more gold to their reserves over the next 12 months. This widespread interest in gold underscores its value in a future where fiat currencies may no longer hold any level of trust.

As central banks continue to stockpile gold, the global economy will witness a significant shift towards a system where gold plays a central role, altering the dynamics of international trade, investment, and monetary policy.

The Bottom Line

The record-setting gold purchases by central banks in 2024 highlight a growing consensus that the global fiat currency system is approaching its end.

As fears of a global currency reset mount, central banks are turning to gold to protect their economies. This trend suggests that gold will soon become the cornerstone of a new financial system, reshaping the global economic order in profound ways.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 15 Aug. 2024

Compiled Thurs. 15 Aug. 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Wed. 14 Aug. 2024 Possible Timing, David Wilcock

There will be a EBS message sent over phones, TV and radio around the Globe saying that in the next five hours or so, everyone needed to be home for a global lockdown that would last 10 to 12 days.

NESARA will be announced to the world, which will show that EVERYTHING NEW is beginning.

Then through the EBS, they will show documentaries of everything that has happened to wake up the masses.

At the end of the 12 days, they will give out an 800 number for individuals to call to obtain an appointment to set up your Quantum money account on the new Starlink Satellite System.

There were 75 Deep State Banks that were seized and all assets and accounts closed. All the Cabal’s Central Banks have been taken over, with assets entered into the Quantum Financial System (QFS).

The QFS is run on Blockchain where nothing fraudulent can happen because everything is traceable. They can see where all money goes, which stops corruption in its tracks.

Apparently all people have a sum of money in an individual Quantum Financial Account.

The seized assets of the Cabal were moved to those Quantum Financial Accounts of The People. All monies in trust funds were moved to individual QFS accounts. All our bank accounts, savings accounts and retirement accounts were safe in the new Quantum System.

The only monies not reflected in individual Quantum Accounts were investments and shares on the Stock Market. All that will be gone! It is advised to get out of the Stock Market immediately.

Bruce  [via WiserNow]  ...from the latest info that we received last night was that that we are in basically a seven day window...we got it last night that said Wednesday to Wednesday...we've also heard from another call...that was with the financial advisors, bankers and so on, that there was a consensus...that we would be notified over the weekend and then start exchanges on Monday. So the 19th...Let’s Hope that is true... This thing is right here, right there, where we can go anytime, yes, and we'll see if the Wednesday  window holds up, or if we get surprised, and maybe it goes soon...

SkyWalker  There seems to be some confusion...when it comes to the delete the zeros program. Value of the Iraqi dinar starts in country by government policies, CBI reserves, oil production, investments by the Iraqi government, output of the economy, and so on. Value is currently represented by the three zeros printed on the currency. An exchange is a ratio of two currencies which is used outside the borders of a country. Therefore, when value is added to the Iraqi dinar first by the CBI in country the three zero notes will be physically removed from circulation. In their place the CBI will release the lower notes with added value...Lastly, the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar compared to other currencies will reflect the added value to the Iraqi dinar. So, it is not about the zeros coming off the exchange but the three zero notes being no longer used...

Tishwash:  With an increase in recent months.. Iraq's internal debt exceeds 78 trillion dinars - Urgent

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed today, Wednesday, that Iraq's internal debt exceeds 78 trillion dinars, with an increase in recent months.

Saleh said in a statement to (Al-Rabia) that "Iraq's move towards borrowing from the domestic banking market to finance two waves of the general budget deficit came under the influence of the decline in the oil assets cycle and in two different periods during the current decade. The first wave of borrowing, which amounted to nearly 27 trillion dinars, was financed by the government banking system through purchasing treasury transfers during the intensification of the security crisis (the entry of the terrorist ISIS) between the years 2014-2017."

He added that "the International Monetary Fund estimated at that time the current account deficit gap of the balance of payments due to the decline in oil prices to be no less than 18 billion dollars cumulatively during those years, and the second wave occurred between the years 2020 and 2021, that is, during the health crisis with the spread of Corona and the closure of the global economy, which was accompanied by a decline in oil prices and a decline in budget revenues and the loss of more than 40% of the value of the oil barrel

While the legislation of the general budget law for the fiscal year 2020 was absent and was replaced by three legislations to finance the deficit, two of which were for direct domestic borrowing and two separate laws issued by the House of Representatives, that by heading towards the domestic borrowing market and the other is the Food Security and Development Law, and an important aspect of it was based on domestic borrowing as well, which raised the level of domestic debt to exceed the barrier of 78 trillion dinars."  link

Masoud Barzani calls for national wealth and wants to preserve it, but what is the story of the “committees of commitment”?

Today, Wednesday (August 14, 2024), the leader of the Coordination Framework, Saad Al-Saadi, revealed the results of the agreement between the framework and the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, regarding the oil smuggling file.

Al-Saadi told Baghdad Today, "Smuggling natural resources, including oil, in any country represents a drain on the economy, destruction of infrastructure, and loss of the rights of the people of all stripes. Therefore, the smuggling file must be stopped." 

He added, "During the visit of the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, to the capital, Baghdad, and his meeting with the leaders of the framework, the issue of natural resources was actually raised within a broad agreement to preserve them as a national wealth."

He continued: "It was agreed to form committees whose mission is to oblige all parties to abide by the decisions of the Federal Court on the oil and gas file, in addition to the rest of the other agreements with Baghdad," adding: "We hope at the same time that there will be seriousness and credibility on the part of our brothers in the region in implementing the terms of the agreement." 

He pointed out that "the management of oil and other wealth by the central government and its institutions is within the context of the Iraqi constitution, and this will must be respected and adhered to because it will address many problems and provide greater protection for the national wealth."

The visit of the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, to Baghdad attracted attention because it came after six years of "estrangement" with the ruling political class in Iraq, which suggests that a remarkable development has occurred in the relationship between the Kurdistan Region and the central government.

Political circles believe that the aim of the visit is to crown the partial understandings that occurred recently and covered several files with a comprehensive settlement between the region and the centre.

Barzani's presence as a prominent Kurdish figure aims to lend legitimacy to the settlement and raise its value so that it appears to be an important event and not just a passing meeting, which is what the central government needs to confirm its ability to bring the region's leaders to its square, while the settlement reduces internal pressures on the region's officials, especially if he succeeds in ensuring smooth and continuous payment of salaries.  link

US Debt Collapse Will Destroy Dollar | Craig Hemke

Liberty and Finance:  8-13-2024

Craig Hemke emphasizes the growing national debt, noting a recent $243.7 billion deficit in July alone and a projected $1.9 trillion deficit for the fiscal year.

 He highlights the risk of worsening inflation due to increasing debt and monetary policies. Hemke recommends precious metals, such as gold, as a reliable hedge against these financial pressures and inflation. He stresses that owning physical gold can preserve purchasing power and provide safety amid rising debt and economic uncertainty.

NON-MARKET ECONOMY STATUS FOR VIETNAM:  'opportunities amid danger'

RECENTLY THE US COMMERCE DEPT REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE VIETNAM AS A "MARKET ECONOMY". THIS ARTICLE FROM A VIETNAMESE NEWSPAPER REVEALS THE REASONS BEHIND THIS STATUS

"The US Department of Commerce's decision to continue classifying Vietnam as a non-market economy was disappointing news. However, this gives Vietnam the chance to accelerate reform towards a market economy."

"This is the driving force for the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) to implement the commitment that it will research and analyze the US Department of Commerce’s (DOC) report about Vietnam’s economy, to supplement and complete arguments before submitting dossiers to DOC on granting market economy status, a step to concretize the Vietnam-US comprehensive strategic partnership."

"After doi moi (renovation), Vietnam has been consistent in carrying out a reform to turn the single-sectoral economy into multi-sectoral economy. The economy has been liberated from the state’s strict and rigid control, while people have freedom to trade and do business.

In addition, Vietnam has signed 16 new-generation FTAs (free trade agreements), becoming one of the most open economies in the world."

"Thanks to economic reform, Vietnam has become an example in hunger elimination and poverty reduction, with the hunger and poverty rate falling from nearly 60 percent in early 1990s to 3 percent now. Private domestic invested enterprises with official registrations have been growing steadfastly. "

"Vietnam has finished the underdevelopment period, becoming an average income country with a dynamic market economy which is integrating deeply into the global economy."

"There is no doubt that the reforms and considerable progress in recent years are why 73 economies have recognized Vietnam as a market economy."

"Economic Freedom of the World Index by Canadian Frazer Institute released late last year showed that Vietnam ranked 106th among 165 countries and territories. The position represented a four-grade promotion compared with the year before, a relatively big improvement compared with other regional countries."

"After 40 years of doi moi, Vietnam’s economy is still undergoing the transition with some shortcomings as follows:

1. First, the pricing mechanism of some products, such as petroleum, electricity, airfare and healthcare services still bears administrative intervention.

2. Second, the protection of ownership and property rights still cannot be carried out thoroughly. In some places, land is recovered by the state at non-market prices.

3. Third, the state-owned economic sector still accounts for a large proportion of the national economy.

"A report of the World Bank shows that the state still participates in many economic activities through SOEs, while the land and capital allocation bear the impact of administrative commands rather than market conditions."

INDIA's CENTRAL BANK: the impact of tokenized deposits, CBDC on deposit insurance

Yesterday during a speech, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Deputy Governor MD Patra discussed how tokenized deposits and central bank digital currency (CBDC) might impact deposit insurance.

Tokenized deposits are a digital version of bank deposits using blockchain infrastructure to process programmable payments 24/7. In a digital world, they compete with stablecoins and CBDCs, although the design is quite different.

From a deposit insurance perspective, most tokenized deposit infrastructures aim to maintain the same deposit insurance coverage as a conventional bank deposit. However, Mr Patra noted that tokenization potentially can amplify bank runs in times of stress.

Hence, the risks posed by tokenized deposits need to be modelled to determine the insurance fund size and premium rates.

If there’s a bank failure, compensating clients might be less straightforward. “With different banks using different technologies there’s also the possibility that tokenised deposits could be held by depositors who are not KYC compliant and not clients of issuing banks,” said Mar Patra. “Consequently, verification of the authenticity and genuineness of claims may prove to be a testing challenge.”

Like the United States, India has a recent history of failing banks. In 2020 YES Bank started experiencing a run and the central bank took it over for a while. It restructured the bank with several other Indian banks taking equity stakes. Subsequently, YES Bank raised additional capital and is still operational today.

CBDC impact on deposit insurance
In an economy with a retail CBDC, if a bank fails, those with uninsured deposits will quickly try to transfer the money elsewhere. 

The advantage of a CBDC its low risk because it is the liability of the central bank. On the one hand, depositors could just transfer the money to another commercial bank. Alternatively, they could switch to a CBDC.

Hence, the Deputy Governor observed that “particularly uninsured deposits, (would be) more prone to withdrawal and hence the risk of bank runs. Given the inherent links between such systems and the objectives and operations of deposit insurers, it is expected that the topic of CBDC will continue to grow in relevance for deposit insurers.”

In other words, if CBDCs encourage bank runs, that makes a bank more likely to fail and hence there’s a higher probability of drawing down the insurance fund.

“The impact of CBDC on deposits and hence deposit insurance is largely unknown as of today,” said Mr Patra. “The operating models and design features of each individual jurisdiction’s CBDC will be a crucial factor in expanding our understanding of the balance of risks.”

Canada needs to overhaul crypto regulations — Coinbase exec

The Canadian government has previously come under fire for undermining the economic freedom of its citizens and freezing crypto donations.

Coinbase country director for Canada Lucas Matheson took the stage at the Blockchain Futurist Conference on Aug. 13 to discuss the state of Canadian digital asset regulation and promote the newly expanded Stand With Crypto initiative.

Matheson argued that although Canada’s regulatory framework is already robust, the country still needs to modernize crypto regulation.

The director noted that 85% of countries will be adopting comprehensive regulatory frameworks for digital assets over the next year and urged the importance of public dialogue in educating public officials about the importance of cryptocurrencies. Coinbase’s Canadian director summed up the long-term goal for Stand With Crypto’s advocacy:

“Canada frankly has a lot of work to do to change laws, and the goal is to change laws in Canada so that we can increase economic freedom and update the financial system in Canada.”

Matheson concluded his presentation by directing audience members to sign up for the advocacy group.

Coinbase launches Stand With Crypto in Canada

Coinbase launched the Stand With Crypto initiative in Canada in July of 2024, following the success of the political advocacy group in the United States.

When the advocacy group launched, Matheson said that Canadian regulators tended to be much more cooperative with the industry than American regulators but noted that input from elected politicians was lacking.

Binance cited changes in stablecoin policy and investor limits outlined in the 2023 regulation as the main drivers for the company’s exit from the country.

BRICS should focus on creating seamless economic environment — Indian expert

Apart from economic integration, BRICS should also address "critical global challenges with a collaborative and proactive approach," Vice Chairman of BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry Sameep Shastri said

NEW DELHI, August 14. /TASS/. BRICS nations should focus on creating a seamless economic environment to expand trade, industrial and investment cooperation, Vice Chairman of BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry Sameep Shastri told TASS when commenting on the upcoming meeting of BRICS industry ministers in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod on August 16.

"The BRICS ministerial meeting is an invaluable opportunity to strengthen the bonds between our member nations further and address key global challenges with a unified approach," he said. "We must focus on creating a seamless economic environment that fosters growth and innovation. 

This might involve harmonizing trade policies, facilitating cross-border investments, and addressing any trade imbalances that may exist," Shastri added.

Technological disparities among BRICS nations can hinder collaborative progress, the expert noted. "The meeting should address ways to bridge these gaps through joint research initiatives, technology transfer, and innovation partnerships.

Prioritizing advancements in fields such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and clean technologies will be critical," he said.

Apart from economic integration, BRICS should also address "critical global challenges with a collaborative and proactive approach," the expert said. "BRICS needs to lead by example in setting ambitious sustainability targets and implementing actionable plans.

The meeting should also focus on strengthening global health systems ensuring that we are better prepared for future public health crises," he said.

Shastri believes that peace and security should be central to BRICS discussions. "With rising geopolitical tensions and the persistent threat of terrorism, BRICS must work collaboratively to develop strategies that promote global stability.

This includes enhancing counterterrorism efforts, supporting peacekeeping missions, and fostering diplomatic dialogue to resolve conflicts," he stressed.

Top 10 Reasons We’re Now Facing a Global Financial System Crash

Top 10 Reasons We’re Now Facing a Global Financial System Crash

On August 13, 2024  By Awake-In-3D

The evidence is clear—You won’t believe how close we are to the largest collapse in history

We’re standing on the edge of an financial system crash, and may people don’t even realize it. Yet!

The signs are all around us—record government spending, mounting consumer debt, and major corporations hoarding cash like never before.

Even the world’s biggest economies, like the U.S., Japan, and Germany, are struggling to keep their heads above water.

This article breaks down the top 10 reasons why we’re facing what could be the worst financial crash in history.

I’m going to walk you through what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what it means for all of us.

In This Article

1. The Top 10 Reasons the Global Financial System Crash is on Our Doorstep

2. Government Spending: The Core of this Financial System Crash

3. Central Bank Policies Causing Unprecedented Market Distortions

4. Consumer Financial Behavior as a Warning Sign of the Approaching Financial System Crash

5. Global Economic Indicators Pointing to a Deepening Crisis

The global financial system is facing a financial system crash of unprecedented scale. With three of the five largest economies heading towards economic catastrophe, the risks are mounting.

The Top 10 Reasons the Global Financial System Crash is on Our Doorstep

Here’s a logical progression of the top 10 reasons we are in a global recession, followed by an economic depression and then the grand finale, a complete financial system crash:

1. Unsustainable Government Spending: U.S. government spending as a percentage of GDP is nearing historic levels, creating a precarious fiscal situation.

2. Skyrocketing Consumer Debt: U.S. credit card debt has reached record highs, with interest rates at unprecedented levels, mirroring unsustainable government financial practices.

3. Distorted Central Bank Policies: The Bank of Japan’s excessive ownership of ETFs and government bonds has caused significant market distortions, leading to instability.

4. Massive Insider Stock Sales: U.S. executives are selling off stocks at the fastest pace in over a decade, signaling a lack of confidence in the markets.

5. Surging Cash Holdings by Corporations: Companies like Berkshire Hathaway are hoarding cash, indicating a lack of confidence in the economy and anticipation of a downturn.

6. Persistent Manufacturing Recession: The U.S. manufacturing sector has been in recession for an extended period, signaling broader economic warning signs.

7. Extended Recession in Major Economies: Germany has been in recession for over two years, reflecting broader global economic fragility.

8. Declining Unemployment Claims Participation: A low percentage of unemployed Americans filing for benefits suggests the official data is understating the true level of economic distress.

9. Long-term Devaluation of Fiat Currencies: The U.S. dollar and other major currencies have lost significant value against gold, indicating long-term economic instability.

10. Rising Public and Household Debt: U.S. public and household debt levels have reached all-time highs, creating the potential for a systemic financial crisis.

Government Spending: The Core of this Financial System Crash

U.S. government spending has reached levels not seen since World War II. At 43% of GDP, it is just 1% below the peak during the Great Financial Crisis.

These unsustainable spending habits are breaking the economy, setting the stage for severe financial turmoil.

Japan faces its own challenges. The Bank of Japan’s extensive intervention in the economy, owning about 80% of the country’s ETFs and 55% of its government bonds, has caused significant market distortions.

The recent rate hikes by the Bank of Japan have already triggered a 12% drop in the Nikkei 225, underscoring the instability.

Central Bank Policies Causing Unprecedented Market Distortions

Central banks, particularly the Bank of Japan, have been heavily involved in the financial markets, creating artificial support that cannot be sustained indefinitely.

The consequences are now becoming apparent, with volatile markets and a loss of confidence among investors.

The Bank of Japan’s recent actions indicate that even the slightest change in policy can have dramatic effects, as seen with the substantial decline in the Nikkei 225.

Consumer Financial Behavior as a Warning Sign of the Approaching Financial System Crash

Consumer debt in the U.S. has skyrocketed, with credit card debt hitting a record $1.14 trillion in the second quarter of 2024. Interest rates have also reached an all-time high of 22.76%, mirroring the reckless financial practices of the government.

This growing debt burden is pushing consumers closer to financial collapse.

Corporate behavior is also flashing red warning signs. Berkshire Hathaway, one of the largest and most successful corporations, has increased its cash reserves to 25% of its total assets, the highest level since 2005.

This massive cash hoarding indicates a lack of confidence in the current economic environment and suggests that major corporations are bracing for a severe downturn.

Global Economic Indicators Pointing to a Deepening Crisis

Germany, one of the world’s largest economies, has been in recession for over two years, with its GDP contracting in five of the last nine quarters.

This prolonged economic decline signals a broader global economic fragility, which could trigger a domino effect across other major economies.

Insider stock sales in the U.S. have reached their highest levels in over a decade, particularly among executives in tech giants like Nvidia. This rapid sell-off indicates that those closest to the markets are preparing for a downturn, further fueling fears of an imminent crisis.

The long-term devaluation of fiat currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar, adds another layer of risk to the global financial system.

The U.S. dollar has lost 98.5% of its value against gold since 1971, with other major currencies like the Euro and Yen experiencing similar declines.

This loss of purchasing power is eroding trust in fiat currencies, pushing investors towards alternative assets.

The Bottom Line

The interconnected nature of global economies means that the problems facing the U.S., Japan, and Germany are not isolated.

With government spending spiraling out of control, distorted central bank policies, rising consumer and corporate debt, and prolonged recessions in major economies, the world is on the brink of an unprecedented financial crisis.

IOTA launches blockchain tool to simplify music rights management

IOTA has introduced a new blockchain-based tool aimed at simplifying music rights management in the film industry.

IOTA (IOTA), a distributed ledger focused on the exchange of value and data, has unveiled a blockchain-driven tool designed to transform the management of music rights in films, addressing what the project describes as a traditionally time-consuming process.

The new solution, developed under the European Blockchain Pre-Commercial Procurement initiative and funded by the European Commission, leverages distributed ledger technology to streamline negotiations and secure intellectual property rights more efficiently, according to an Aug. 12 blog announcement.

The core of IOTA’s latest solution is the Smart Contracts for Media system, which automates contracts between film producers and rights holders. These smart contracts are self-executing digital agreements, intended to reduce the time traditionally required for negotiations and payment processes.

IOTA claims its solution promises to “revolutionize the way intellectual property rights are handled,” enabling producers to select predefined contract templates, make real-time adjustments, and finalize terms digitally. Once agreed upon, the smart contracts are deployed on the IOTA Smart Contract Chain, ensuring the agreements are immutable.

The tool also incorporates non-fungible tokens (NTFs) to represent rights and obligations. These NFTs contain unique identifiers that link to detailed data stored off-chain using the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), a decentralized storage solution.

Coinbase Urges SEC to 'Abandon' Its 'Irrational' DeFi Exchange Rule

The SEC’s move to regulate DEXs would make it functionally impossible for DeFi projects to exist in the United States, Coinbase wrote Monday.

Coinbase once again came out swinging Monday against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC’s) yearslong attempt to expand a bureaucratic definition of the word “exchange,” which if successful would bring the DeFi ecosystem firmly under the regulator’s purview.

In an eight-page comment submitted to the SEC on Monday, Coinbase Chief Legal Office Paul Grewal chastised the potential rule change as “arbitrary” and “irrational” in several respects, and urged the agency to “abandon its effort” to apply the proposed rule to decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

Fundamental to Coinbase’s argument against the change is the SEC’s continued refusal to concede that DEXs—which are run by automated, on-chain software (aka smart contracts) with little to no human management—are by definition incapable of complying with rules and standards designed for traditional securities exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange.

“DEXs cannot comply with registration and disclosure requirements designed for legacy financial exchanges managed by centralized companies,” Grewal wrote.

“And even if DEXs could somehow comply with existing registration and disclosure rules, the Commission does not explain how SEC-registered DEXs could facilitate the trading of digital assets.”

Because of these apparent tensions, Coinbase implied in its letter to the SEC today, the agency may well be attempting to outlaw DEXs implicitly, without saying so.

“The SEC benefits from robust engagement from the public and will review all comments submitted during the open comment period. Generally, we respond to comments received as part of the final rulemaking and not beforehand," an agency spokesperson told Decrypt following the initial publication of this story.

Coinbase further accused the SEC of failing to complete a proper cost-benefit analysis of the proposed rule change. That’s due to the fact that the regulator has only stated in blanket terms that it would regulate exchanges that deal in “crypto asset securities,” without defining which sorts of digital assets constitute securities and which do not.

The SEC’s longstanding refusal to draw such a line—between which cryptocurrencies it views as securities, and which it does not—remains one of the crypto industry’s greatest grievances with the agency. Insteading of putting forth such a framework, the SEC has opted to sue crypto projects it alleges constitute illegal securities offerings, one at a time.

The regulator has even, in recent months, appeared to flip-flop on its own views of certain crypto assets. For over a year, for example, the SEC reportedly secretly considered Ethereum to be a security. Then, in May, the agency abruptly changed course, approving the trade of spot Ethereum ETFs on Wall Street.

Because the SEC has not clearly defined which cryptocurrencies it considers to be securities, Coinbase wrote today, it cannot possibly have properly calculated an accurate cost-benefit analysis determining how much financial activity would fall under its purview if DEXs were regulated like securities exchanges.

“The SEC cannot rationally make these calculations without a single, stable view on which digital assets are subject to the securities laws,” Grewal wrote.

The SEC has been going after numerous crypto companies for billions of dollars.  There was an article yesterday with negative comments on CFTC rules too.  Congress needs to get some of those bills passed that define what entity regulates what so America can catch up to other countries  regulating our new financial system.  Taking companies to court and fining them billions of dollars is just hindering our progress. 

I found these two bills that were introduced in the Senate two years ago but never passed.

Senate Bill S. 4760
Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act of 2022 (DCCPA)
Introduced in Senate (08/03/2022)

To amend the Commodity Exchange Act to provide the Commodity Futures Trading Commission jurisdiction to oversee the spot digital commodity market, and for other purposes.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/4760/text

Senate Bill  S.5030
Digital Trading Clarity Act of 2022 (DTCA)
Introduced in Senate (09/29/2022)

This bill establishes a safe harbor from securities regulation for certain digital asset exchanges and intermediaries. This safe harbor applies if (1) such digital asset is not classified as a security by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or by a U.S. court; and (2) the exchange or intermediary complies with requirements regarding listings, customer protection, and disclosures.

If a digital asset is determined to be a security and otherwise meets these requirements, the exchange or intermediary has a two year period during which the SEC may not pursue specified enforcement activity against the exchange or intermediary.
