Tishwash:  Al-Nujaba: The truce is over and the option of striking American bases in Iraq is now available

The Al-Nujaba Movement - one of the Iraqi factions involved in the so-called "Islamic Resistance in Iraq" - considered on Tuesday that the truce that was aimed at giving the government time to negotiate the withdrawal of US forces from the country has ended, and the options of targeting military bases have become available.

“The resistance factions in Iraq have ended this truce, and therefore all options are available to the resistance forces to target all American bases inside Iraq,” Haider al-Lami, a member of the political council of the al-Nujaba movement, told The National.

“The resistance factions in Iraq have ended this truce, and therefore all options are available to the resistance forces to target all American bases inside Iraq,” Haider al-Lami, a member of the political council of the al-Nujaba movement, told The National.

Al-Lami considered that there was "procrastination and delay" by America regarding the withdrawal of its forces during the talks with the Iraqi government.

"There will be a response in the coming days that may target more than one place, not necessarily in Iraq, Syria and Israel," added Al-Lami, who warned after the Babylon strike that such a move was under consideration.

He said that some forces will remain in the Kurdistan Region until September 2026 to supervise counter-terrorism operations in Syria. The situation there is different from Iraq, as ISIS is stronger in Syria and has strongholds.  link

Reuters: BP's deal with Iraq will be based on profit-sharing model

 An agreement with BP to develop oil and gas fields in Kirkuk will be based on a profit-sharing model, and a final deal is expected by the end of this year, two oil ministry officials told Reuters.

Iraq and BP signed a preliminary agreement this month to develop four oil and gas fields in the Kirkuk region of northern Iraq, an area where BP estimates about nine billion barrels of oil could be extracted.

The two officials said the ministry and BP, which is returning to the region after an absence of about five years, are expected to sign an agreement, the terms of which will not be disclosed, this week under which Iraq will hand over a data package for the four Kirkuk fields and their facilities.

The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press.

BP has not yet responded to a request for comment.

BP withdrew from the area in late 2019 after a service contract signed in 2013 expired without reaching an agreement to expand the field.  link

Tishwash:  An economist places “extortion, bribery and smuggling” as the first causes of the fluctuation of the dollar exchange rate

Today, Tuesday, economic affairs researcher Diaa Al-Mohsen listed the extortion, bribery and smuggling operations carried out by dollar dealers who cannot disclose the sources of their money as the first reasons for the fluctuation of the dollar exchange rate in local markets.

Al-Mohsen explained, “The old authority is still floundering in dealing with the issue of the dollar exchange rate, as all the measures it has taken since it took over the management of the Central Bank hardly touch the real problem that led to these rises , which in one way or another led to a major impact on the economic situation of the Iraqi family.” Noting that, “The Iraqi market depends entirely on securing its needs through imports, which eat up all the revenues obtained from Iraqi oil sales .”

In an interview with (Al-Mada), Al-Mohsen indicated, “There are many reasons for the fluctuation of exchange rates other than the above. Many dealers do not enter dollars for reasons related to the nature of the money they obtain (the national currency). There are those who obtain the Iraqi dinar through bribery, and others who obtain They are subjected to it through blackmail, some of whom trade in drugs and human organs, and many others who cannot disclose the sources of their money nor the ultimate beneficiary of the Sending process abroad, which exposes them to many legal problems and may expose them to penalties according to Iraqi law.” Pointing out, “These people are forced to go to the black market to request the dollar, and thus the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar rises to increase the demand for the dollar. We should also not forget that there are those who smuggle the dollar by tampering with documents for importing goods, and this manipulation occurs at the border crossings, and as a result In the end, the country is the biggest loser, followed by the simple citizen . ”

Regarding the dominance of the dollar, the researcher in economic affairs continued, “There does not seem to be a glimmer of hope on the horizon to get rid of the dominance of the US dollar as long as the bank’s management insists on keeping the Iraqi economy revolving around the US dollar. If there was a real administration working for the benefit of the national economy, it would do everything in its power to do so.” A way to diversify the sources of currencies you deal with, which is what the current administration does not want . “

He continued his speech, "I think that the government should seriously think about revitalizing the economic sectors, especially with the Central Bank of Iraq talking about reserves exceeding 115 billion dollars. It is possible to simplify the procedures for granting loans to project owners who have feasibility studies on the projects that they want to implement and that are in the interest of The Iraqi economy, and grant them soft loans in exchange for the project's guarantee, to reduce the gap between market requirements and imports, and fill this gap by increasing local production to cover the need of the local market and by relying on modern technology with regard to industries, and by relying on modern agricultural techniques with regard to agriculture.” Stressing, “Only here we will have put the Iraqi economy on the right path, and anything other than what we said will be nothing more than plowing into the sea .”

The exchange rate of the dollar in the parallel markets in Iraq has risen again, as the price of the dollar recorded an increase with the closure of the Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya stock exchanges, reaching 149,300 dinars against 100 dollars, while last Saturday It recorded a decrease with the closure of the Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya stock exchanges, reaching 149,550 Iraqi dinars against 100 dollars.  link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Ripple Important Level of Contact with IMF Revealed in Fresh Palau Report

A recently released report on Palau’s National Government Payment Service has revealed a significant level of contact between Ripple and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Prominent XRP community member WrathofKahneman (WoK) unearthed this observation and highlighted it in a recent post on X.

Notably, the report from Palau highlighted the successful completion of Phase 2a of the country’s digital payment initiative. For context, this initiative focuses on developing a stablecoin service, “PSC.” Palau is carrying out this project in collaboration with Ripple, utilizing the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Ripple Important Level of Contact with IMF Revealed in Fresh Palau Report

A recently released report on Palau’s National Government Payment Service has revealed a significant level of contact between Ripple and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Prominent XRP community member WrathofKahneman (WoK) unearthed this observation and highlighted it in a recent post on X.

Notably, the report from Palau highlighted the successful completion of Phase 2a of the country’s digital payment initiative. For context, this initiative focuses on developing a stablecoin service, “PSC.” Palau is carrying out this project in collaboration with Ripple, utilizing the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

This recently completed phase analyzed stakeholder requirements in six key socioeconomic areas to develop a framework for a convenient and accessible national payment ecosystem, especially for the unbanked and underbanked.

Additionally, the Palau digital payment system seeks to emulate the services of PayPal and Alipay in ways that precisely fit the context of Palau’s needs

Its goals are reducing cash reliance, lowering fuel consumption and travel time, and offering lower fees. The report also reviews the pilot program, incorporating feedback and recommendations for a phased nationwide rollout.

Ripple’s Important Level of Contact with IMF

What stands out in this latest report is the inclusion of the IMF Technical Assistance Team among the stakeholders consulted for the project. According to WrathofKahneman, this points to an important level of technical engagement between Ripple and the IMF.

WoK emphasized the significance of this connection, noting that while the XRP community has long been aware of Ripple’s discussions with the IMF, this report serves as tangible evidence of their collaboration on a practical level.

Furthermore, WoK strengthens his argument by pointing out that the IMF’s recommendations align closely with the objectives of Palau’s National Payment System, which Ripple is helping to develop.

The IMF’s focus on enhancing financial resilience, improving payment systems, and carefully approaching fintech innovations mirrors the goals of the Ripple-Palau collaboration.

WoK believes this alignment suggests that Ripple’s involvement is not just incidental but deeply integrated with IMF-led financial strategies in the region, reinforcing the idea of meaningful contact between Ripple and the IMF.

Essentially, this revelation reinforces the idea that Ripple is not just working in isolation but is actively engaging with major global financial institutions like the IMF. 

Such collaborations could pave the way for Ripple to play a more central role in future financial systems, particularly in regions where digital innovation and financial modernization are priorities.

RFK Jr.'s campaign may drop out to support Trump, says running mate Nicole Shanahan

Both candidates have adopted a pro-crypto position; their collaboration could create a powerful narrative in the 2024 election.

Key Takeaways

▪️ Kennedy's campaign is evaluating a potential endorsement of Trump to avoid splitting votes.
▪️ Trump has become a pro-crypto candidate, promising to support the industry.


Pro-crypto presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign is mulling quitting the election bid and joining forces with Donald Trump, said Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy’s running mate, on Tom Bilyeu’s Impact Theory podcast. Shanahan’s statements were first shared by Collin Rugg, Trending Politics’ co-owner.

Dropping out of the election race is just one of two possible outcomes. Shanahan said Kennedy’s campaign is also considering continuing their third-party bid, but it comes at the risk of splitting votes with Trump, which could benefit Kamala Harris’ campaign.

“There are two options that we’re currently looking at and one is staying in and forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency because we draw votes from Trump,” Shanahan stated.

Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump,” she noted, adding that it would not be an easy decision and they would need to justify it to their supporters.

According to Politico, Kennedy’s campaign is struggling financially, with $3.9 million in cash and $3.5 million in debt as of July 2024. Despite efforts to boost fundraising, the campaign’s expenditures have consistently outstripped its income.

If Kennedy’s campaign team chooses to collaborate with Trump’s team, that could create a powerful narrative in the 2024 election as both two figures have adopted a pro-crypto stance.


Trump has positioned himself as a pro-crypto candidatepledging to retain all Bitcoin held by the US government and to ease regulatory pressures on the crypto industry.

Harris’ position on crypto is unclear, though reports indicate that her campaign team has been working to reconnect with the industry in recent weeks.

Despite crypto’s growing popularity, its potential impact on voting behavior remains uncertain. Voters often make decisions heavily influenced by key issues like economic conditions.

Harris has recently faced criticism for her new economic proposals, with figures like former Obama economist Jason Furman questioning the practicality and sensibility of her plans.

Following her speech on these proposals, Harris’ odds of winning the election dropped to 49% on the decentralized prediction marketplace Polymarket, while Trump’s odds saw a corresponding surge to 49%.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Bank of England to develop analytics data platform for ISO 20022

The Bank of England is working with the BIS Innovation Hub London centre on a project that will explore how technology can enhance the analytical use of ISO 20022 data to shed light on economic conditions, system liquidity and compliance.

The increased use of ISO 20022 standards for payment messages in Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) systems means many central banks will adopt the protocol in the coming years. The UK's high value payments system Chaps completed the cutover to the new data standard in June last year.

Project Keystone aims to develop a standardised data analytics platform focused on ISO 20022 data. As part of the project, two modules will be developed.

The increased use of ISO 20022 standards for payment messages in Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) systems means many central banks will adopt the protocol in the coming years. The UK's high value payments system Chaps completed the cutover to the new data standard in June last year.

Project Keystone aims to develop a standardised data analytics platform focused on ISO 20022 data. As part of the project, two modules will be developed.

The first will address the complexities of handling the ISO 20022 data structure and the associated data storage requirements, and the second will provide analysis based on the data.

Keystone is intended to become an off-the-shelf component that payment system operators can integrate into their own systems.

The Bank of England believes that Keystone's support of analytics capabilities could enable payment system operators to utilize the enriched data contained within the ISO 20022 message scheme for greater understanding of economic conditions, system liquidity, and compliance with ISO 20022 standards.

In addition, as Keystone will create a standardised data platform, future users will be able to create and share additional analytics capabilities within the central banking community.

The Federal Inland Revenue Service, Nigeria’s tax authority, plans to introduce a bill to regulate the cryptocurrency sector by the end of 2024.

Speaking at a recent stakeholder engagement session with the National Assembly’s Finance Committees, FIRS Executive Chairman Zacch Adedeji said the country is set to propose a bill that would introduce laws to regulate the crypto sector, mitigate the risks involved, and benefit the nation’s economy, according to a Vanguard report.


Zacch Adedeji, Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service:


“Today, we cannot run away from cryptocurrency. But as we are here today, there is no law anywhere in Nigeria that regulates cryptocurrency. But it is the new thing that is happening, and we cannot run away from them.”

The new regulation is part of a broader effort to modernize existing laws in the taxation system to keep up with Nigeria‘s evolving economic landscape. Adedeji urged the FIRS’s collaboration with lawmakers to implement the bill, with the first iteration expected to be introduced in September.

Thoughts From DJ “Global Equality in Trade”

DJ:  DID YOU KNOW?

It has long been understood that the end game for the GCR is to create equality in global trade. While it sounds good, is it practical? The foundation of our financial systems can shape the future of global trade in ways both expected and unforeseen. The concept of asset-backed currencies—a system where money is directly linked to tangible resources like gold, oil, or other valuable commodities can be debated.

Should the world’s currencies return to being anchored by real assets (GCR), the landscape of global trade would undergo significant transformation, altering everything from international relations to economic stability.

DJ:  DID YOU KNOW?

It has long been understood that the end game for the GCR is to create equality in global trade. While it sounds good, is it practical? The foundation of our financial systems can shape the future of global trade in ways both expected and unforeseen. The concept of asset-backed currencies—a system where money is directly linked to tangible resources like gold, oil, or other valuable commodities can be debated.

Should the world’s currencies return to being anchored by real assets (GCR), the landscape of global trade would undergo significant transformation, altering everything from international relations to economic stability.

First of all, an asset-backed currency system would impose a new layer of discipline on nations’ monetary policies. Unlike the current fiat currency system, where money can be printed based on economic needs or political agendas, an asset-backed system requires that every unit of currency corresponds to a tangible asset.

This constraint would likely reduce the ability of countries to engage in inflationary practices, leading to more stable global prices. But for trade, this stability could be a double-edged sword. On one hand, reduced currency volatility would lower the risks associated with exchange rates, encouraging more predictable and fairer trade agreements. On the other hand, countries with fewer natural resources or valuable assets could find themselves at a disadvantage, struggling to participate equally in global commerce.

The redistribution of economic power would be another inevitable consequence. Countries rich in valuable resources—such as gold, oil, or rare earth metals—would gain significant influence. These nations would see their currencies strengthened, granting them greater leverage in international trade negotiations.

On the other hand, countries without substantial assets would face the prospect of economic marginalization. (In the context of countries, economic marginalization occurs when nations are unable to compete effectively in the global economy). This could lead to a new era of economic imperialism, where wealthy nations exert more control over poorer ones, not through military might, but through financial superiority.

International trade imbalances would have to be scrutinized more closely. In the current fiat system, countries with trade deficits can borrow money or print more currency to cover the gap. However, in an asset-backed system, this option would be severely restricted.

Nations with persistent trade deficits would have to pay with real assets, potentially depleting their reserves. This could force a radical shift in trade policies, encouraging countries to become more self-sufficient and less reliant on imports, which could, in turn, slow the pace of globalization.

Another significant impact would be the revaluation of global commodities. With currencies tied to physical assets, the demand for these commodities would increase, driving up their prices.

This could trigger a resource race, where countries hoard or aggressively acquire assets to back their currencies. The environmental and geopolitical ramifications could be huge, as nations scramble to secure dwindling resources, possibly leading to conflicts or attempts to increase borders to secure natural resources.

For businesses, an asset-backed currency system would create both challenges and opportunities. On one hand, the stability of asset-backed currencies would reduce risks associated with currency fluctuations, making long-term contracts more predictable. On the other hand, the costs associated with securing and verifying the assets backing each currency could introduce new complexities and expenses into international transactions.

While the idea of returning to an asset-backed currency system might seem like a path to greater economic stability, it would also bring about drastic changes in global trade dynamics. The benefits of reduced currency volatility and inflation control has too be weighed against the potential for increased economic inequality, resource conflicts, and a shift away from global cooperation.

We may not choose to admit it, overall, global trade shapes daily life by determining what individuals can buy, how much they pay, and the job opportunities available to them.

In this race to achieve a GCR, we might want to consider just finishing the race, not how we get there the fastest. The world has old knees, it’s probably a good idea to slow down and walk to the finish line.

There must be something else going on that we just can't see.

What were they doing in the background?  They were destroying money...They didn't tell you how much money they destroyed...But they're saying they're having a problem with liquidity...a problem...to meet the need for Iraq dinar...They're going to need money to be replaced.  Could that be the new small category notes with more value? ...Why in the world would you go out and destroy a bunch of money... make it into pellets for burning, when you're going to go and create new 25k notes.  Does that make any sense to anybody Do you think they built that big, huge massive building...to have more inflation and a cheaper exchange rate less that 1310?  That's what they would be doing...That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Tishwash:  Government Advisor: Al-Alaq's upcoming visit to New York will support the protection and stability of the banking system

 The Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Saturday that the upcoming visit of the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, to ​​New York will support the protection and stability of the banking system, while he pointed out that the file of the sanctioned banks requires negotiation due to the possibility of an error or exaggeration in issuing the decision to sanction them.

Saleh said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and reviewed by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the Central Bank is a strategic institution that works to support the value of the dinar and its stability, and to build balances in the Iraqi balance of payments, regularity of payments, and international reserves that support Iraq's foreign trade."

He added, "Due to the rentier nature of the economy, the Central Bank and its reserves have become the feeder and financier of foreign trade for the private sector."

He pointed out that "Iraqi oil sales are in dollars, and are deposited with the US Federal Reserve through an open account in the name of the Central Bank, which is managed by the bank on behalf of the Iraqi government."

He continued, "The upcoming visit of the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, to ​​New York City in the United States of America comes to protect the Iraqi banking system and support its stability."

He explained that "the Central Bank, by virtue of its work and responsibility to maintain the financial system of Iraq, must negotiate with the American side regarding the file of the sanctioned banks to alleviate the severity of the deprivation on the banks, as there may be an error or exaggeration that was previously decided to be sanctioned by the American side," stressing that "there is insistence and communication from the Central Bank of Iraq in a good and positive way to protect the Iraqi banking system."

Earlier, the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, confirmed in an interview with the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "there will be meetings held with the Federal Bank and the US Treasury Department at the end of this August to review aspects related to external transfer operations and discuss sanctions on some banks."  link

Financial and economic affairs expert Alaa Jaloub Al-Fahd revealed today, Sunday (August 18, 2024), a weakness in the Iraqi banking system, while confirming the presence of 80% of the cash mass in citizens’ homes.

Al-Fahd told Baghdad Today, "The amount of cash liquidity pumped into the local market is estimated at the size of annual government spending, and this includes salaries, wages, and others. It constitutes a large percentage and is considered the citizen's purchasing power."

He added that "the rise in income levels after 2003, due to the increase in salaries, led to an increase in purchasing power, and this led to an increase in the level of demand for real estate and other things," indicating that "the rise in real estate prices has nothing to do with the issue of the increase in the citizen's cash liquidity or not, because this increase is dependent on the issue of supply and demand."

Al-Fahd explained that "any increase or decrease in the volume of liquidity is estimated by the size of real spending and the size of savings, considering that the citizen's income is divided between consumption and savings, and the higher the savings rate, the more it is supposed to be exploited economically through investment."

He pointed out that "there is a weakness in the banking system's ability to absorb all the cash available to citizens, as most of this cash is inside homes, far from banks," noting that "the amount of cash available to citizens in homes is estimated at more than 80% of the issued cash mass, and this constitutes a weakness in the banking system, in withdrawing that mass and investing it."

It is noteworthy that financial expert Saleh Al-Masrafi confirmed on Tuesday (August 6, 2024) that Iraq is among the highest countries in the Middle East in the file of hoarding money, while he diagnosed a grave error in the Iraqi banking system .

The banker said in an interview with Baghdad Today, "The accumulations that have continued for many years have pushed citizens to lose confidence in banks and resort to hoarding money in their homes," indicating that "its percentage reaches 70% of financial liquidity, and these are large numbers that indicate that we are among the highest countries in the Middle East in hoarding money ."

He added that "hoarding money in the financial concept is a grave mistake that will confuse the financial process and reduce the government's ability to provide liquidity to pay salaries," explaining that "resorting to electronic payment is a step in the right direction, but the most important thing is withdrawing liquidity, and there are several ways ."

The banker pointed out that "the recent issuance of treasury bonds is a correct decision, but the media propaganda to create a culture of safe investment in the street is very weak, and this is what creates low rates of dealing with them, even though the interest rates are attractive ."

He stressed the "necessity of seeking to expand the circle of withdrawing liquidity from homes and creating a movement of money that contributes to increasing the recovery of investment and granting government loans, especially with the presence of requests that exceed by 5 times the amount of money allocated for loans in any sector, especially housing."   link

Tishwash:  It can revive the Iraqi budget.. $14 billion in “losses” due to the halt of Kurdistan’s oil exports

 Oil consultant and expert, Govind Shirwani, revealed today, Monday (August 19, 2024), that the losses from stopping the export of oil from the Kurdistan Region exceeded $14 billion after a year and a half of cessation.

In an interview with Baghdad Today, Sherwani said, “The losses of not exporting the Kurdistan Region’s oil through the Turkish port of Ceyhan exceeded 14 billion dollars, and this is a very large number, and it could have revived the Iraqi budget, which suffers from a lack of liquidity.”

He added, "There are meetings between the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, the Ministry of Natural Resources in the region, and some representatives of foreign companies, but so far there have been no positive indications indicating the resumption of oil exports, but the participation of the three parties in itself is good progress."

Turkey had earlier halted Iraq's exports of 450,000 barrels per day via the oil pipeline that runs from the Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq to the Turkish port of Ceyhan on March 25, 2023.

Turkey's decision to suspend exports came after an arbitration ruling by the International Chamber of Commerce ordered Turkey to pay Baghdad $1.5 billion in compensation for damages caused by the Kurdistan Regional Government exporting oil without permission from the government in Baghdad between 2014 and 2018.

Attempts to restart the pipeline have been delayed by Turkey's presidential election last month and discussions between the Iraqi government's state oil marketing company SOMO and the Kurdistan Regional Government over an export deal that has now been reached.

Among the issues to be resolved is whether Turkey will seek to negotiate the size of the compensation ordered by the International Chamber of Commerce, sources told Reuters earlier.

It also wants outstanding issues in other open arbitration cases to be permanently resolved before it agrees to resume flows, the sources said.

The Kurdistan region is suffering from a cash shortage due to the pipeline shutdown, and Iraqi politicians and Kurdish lawmakers said the region had no choice but to approve the budget, from which it would receive 12.67 percent of the total 198.9 trillion dinars ($153 billion).

The loss in revenue for the Kurdistan Regional Government due to the 80-day oil shutdown amounts to more than $2 billion, according to Reuters calculations based on exports of 375,000 barrels per day, in addition to the historical discount the KRG offers relative to the price of Brent crude.

The pipeline also exported about 75,000 barrels per day of federal crude   link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

US federal agencies are planning to redefine 'money' to include crypto in reporting rules

Federal regulators aim to treat crypto and traditional currency equally for financial institution reporting.

Key Takeaways

▪️US agencies aim to treat cryptocurrencies as traditional money for reporting purposes.
▪️Final rulemaking on crypto as money expected by September 2025.

Several top US federal agencies are collaborating to revise the definition of “money” to strengthen reporting requirements for financial institutions handling domestic and cross-border cryptocurrency transactions.


The US Department of the Treasury’s semiannual regulatory agenda, released on August 16, reveals an upcoming federal effort to level the regulatory playing field for cryptocurrencies and traditional fiat currency.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network intend to revise the meaning of “money” used in the Bank Secrecy Act.

According to the agenda, the agencies aim to ensure that the rules apply to transactions involving convertible virtual currency, defined as a medium of exchange that either has an equivalent value as currency or acts as a substitute for currency, but lacks legal tender status.

 The proposal will also extend reporting requirements to digital assets with legal tender status, including central bank digital currencies.

The final notice of proposed rulemaking is currently scheduled for September 2025, subject to clearance. This move comes as the US government recently shifted approximately 10,000 Bitcoin linked to a dated Silk Road raid on August 14.

In addition to crypto, the Department of Justice is actively amending regulations and legal mandates for artificial intelligence.

 On August 7, the DOJ asked the United States Sentencing Commission to update its guidelines to provide additional penalties for crimes committed with the aid of AI. 

These recommendations seek to expand beyond established guidelines and apply to any crime aided or abetted by simple algorithms.

In June, the US Supreme Court overturned the Chevron doctrinesignificantly affecting the SEC’s regulatory authority over crypto policies.

In May, the US Treasury and IRS introduced new tax regulations for crypto brokers, requiring transaction reporting and record-keeping of token costs starting in 2026.

Earlier this month, Senators Wyden and Lummis criticized the DOJ’s treatment of crypto software services as equivalent to unlicensed money-transmitting businesses, highlighting potential conflicts with the First Amendment.

This regulatory push reflects the growing recognition of crypto and digital assets as significant components of the financial system. By aligning reporting requirements for crypto with those of traditional currency, regulators aim to enhance transparency and combat potential illicit activities in the crypto space.

IOTA News: Tangle Treasury Implements New Anti-Fraud Measures to Protect Grant Distribution

▪️ The Tangle Treasury has implemented significant improvements in data and financial security, introducing a new anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) policy.

▪️ Nicole O’Brien will lead as the AML/CTF officer for IOTA’s Tangle Treasury, overseeing adherence to best practices, improving internal protocols, and training staff.


The IOTA and Shimmer communities received an important update from the Tangle Treasury regarding the enhanced backend improvements.

 The latest advancements currently focus on boosting data and financial security while refining proposal reviews and grant management processes.

Thus, in an effort to mitigate risks associated with fund allocations, the Tangle Treasury unveiled a new counter-terrorist financing (CTF) and anti-money laundering (AML) policy. 

The broader goal here is to safeguard the Treasury’s primary mission of issuing grants to other promising projects while minimizing the risk of the funds falling into the hands of scammers and other malicious players.

These improved screening features will further enhance the Treasury’s operational efficiency while protecting community investments. As we know, the Tangle Treasury has made significant strides in enhancing internal processes while ensuring community funds’ safety.

With its AML and CTF policy, Tangle DAO has also implemented additional protective measures such as conducting rigorous background checks and enhanced know-your-customer (KYC) procedures for all the proponents as well as grant recipients such as proof-of-address, proof of identity, screening against sanction lists from major countries and blocs, as well as checks for politically exposed persons (PEP).

IOTA Tangle Treasury Appoints Nicole O’Brien

In order to oversee all these processes, IOTA’s Tangle Treasury has appointed Nicole O’Brien as its CTF/AML officer. In her role, O’Brien will ensure adherence to best practices, enhance internal protocols and provide training for staff members.

These advancements, along with improved data security, bookkeeping, and the introduction of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for finance administration and grant management, will help boost the Tangle Treasury’s efficiency and professionalism. 

Further updates, including a call for new proposals, will likely come in the coming weeks.

The IOTA Tangle is an innovative form of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) specifically created for Web3 while using a unique structure based on directed acyclic graphs (DAG) instead of the conventional blockchain model, per the CNF report.

Recently, IOTA has put a major focus on enhancing trust and security, especially for its Identity wallets, per the CNF report.

Also, the European Identity Wallet seeks to transform the Identity verification process by allowing users to log into websites without passwords while securely sharing verified information with simplicity.

In collaboration with the European Commission, IOTA has introduced a new prototype solution using distributed ledger technology (DLT) in order to boost the management of the intellectual property rights marketplace while allowing users to utilize automated, transparent digital contracts, eliminating the need for traditional negotiations, reported CNF.

Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Launches $1 Million Bug Bounty Challenge Ahead of the Chang Hard Fork

▪️ Charles Hoskinson, Cardano’s co-founder, has announced a $1 million prize for hackers who successfully breach its newly introduced Lace Paper Wallet.

▪️ At the Rare Evo 2024 event, Hoskinson highlighted the upcoming Chang hard fork and the transition to the Voltaire Era.


Cardano’s (ADA) Charles Hoskinson has announced a $1 million bug bounty challenge to the ADA community pending the implementation of the long-awaited Chang Hard Fork.

Speaking at the recent Rare Evo 2024 event, Hoskinson announced that the newly introduced Lace Paper Wallet would be the object at the center of this challenge, with participants expected to breach its defense. 

The Lace Paper Wallet Bug Bounty Program would run until the end of 2024, or someone successfully breaches its security and retrieves the Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) inside.

The Web3 wallet was developed by Cardano’s (ADA) parent company, Input Output Global (IOG), with Paper Wallet integrated to beef up its security. According to reports, the added features would enable users possessing PGP keys to use a single encrypted QR code to restore their wallet.

This is, I think, the most secure paper wallet ever generated in the history of our industry.

In a video posted on X on August 17, Hoskinson expressed confidence in the wallet, boasting of its protection against attacks that encourage malicious actors to gain control of private keys to facilitate an authorized transaction.

Hoskinson Highlights Other Updates in the Cardano

At the Rare Evo 2024 event , Hoskinson highlighted the demonstration of the powerful scaling solution, Hydra, featuring the classic game “Doom”.

According to experts, this underscores its capabilities of handling high-throughput, real-time applications. Also, the expected Voltaire Era, which the Chang Hard Fork would introduce, was highlighted.

As we explained earlier, this upgrade would transfer governance controls to the community. According to Cardano’s Emurgo, the first phase was initiated in July 2024 with the next part expected in the fourth quarter of 2024 (Q4 2024).

The Chang Hard Fork is a technical component of the Voltaire era of the Cardano roadmap, which focuses on implementing a sustainable and distributed governance framework. With the first part set to be initiated in July 2024, the next part of the Hard Fork upgrade is set to happen by Q4 of this year.

The second phase would mark the full-force decentralized governance and an exit from the technical bootstrapping phase.

The Delegate Representatives (DReps) are also expected to be introduced as a governance body. In addition to the possibility of the SPOs voting on governance actions, a Constitutional Committee would be online to grow membership above the seven of the interim committee.

Finally, the community will take charge of the Treasury withdrawal.

Cardano users will be able to propose treasury debits via governance actions. The three bodies (Constitutional Committee, DReps, and SPOs) will vote on them, and if approved, ADA will be moved out of the treasury

From that point forward, the future of the Cardano blockchain will be in the hands of its community, along with its power to draft and ratify the Cardano Constitution. This will mark a monumental step not only for the network but also for the blockchain industry as a whole, as Cardano will be the first truly distributed and community-run blockchain network.

At press time, ADA was trading at $0.33, having declined by 2% in the last 24 hours.

They are still expecting it today. They said it has been completed since Thursday. They hope to be done funding all Central Banks today before we go. People are being paid in the US already. It should be international sometime after two o clock into tomorrow morning Tues. 20 Aug.

I’m hearing people were exchanged at a live rate internationally. All the three letter agencies are saying it has been done since Thursday. They all agree it is a live rate. They say there are Wealth Managers calling clients to tell them they will be funded and liquid today.

 For people in Canada there will not be 800 numbers. The Canadian Bank System is different than the US. In Canada the five major banks will do the exchange. Foreign exchange is the responsibility of the government, not the banks. The banks can restrict smaller branches, but the government is in charge. All five major banks in Canada will be exchanging. In Canada at the time of the RV, contact one of the five major banks to do your exchange.”

Mon. 19 Aug. 2024 Central Bankers are Criminal Money Swindlers: the Biggest Fraud Using Counterfeit Money, Peter B. Meyer

Get to know the greatest criminal money swindlers on this planet and learn how it was possible. There is no greater fraud than that perpetrated by central bankers. The Federal Reserve and the ECB have ‘illegally’ acquired a monopoly on money creation and supply control. They can increase or decrease their balance sheet at any time at no cost by buying assets with fake money, which is mostly perpetual government debt.

They have quintupled the adjusted monetary base since 2008 while keeping interest rates close to zero. In other words, they are constantly manipulating the money supply and interest rates while bailing out banks and financing massive government deficit spending.

Money is half of almost every transaction. To manipulate money is to manipulate the whole economic system.

The basic unit of the system is a type of money the world has never had before: the post-1971 fiat dollar and later the euro. It’s paper money – worth whatever people think it’s worth, managed by people who think it should be worth less over time.

The amount of liquid reserves banks have to hold against their loans is now so small that it places “almost no constraint” on the amount of credit the system can and has created.

Banks only have to maintain a certain “capital adequacy ratio”. This limits their lending to a multiple of their equity, the money provided by their shareholders.

Of course, money is only valuable as long as there is not too much of it. The market can absorb a little counterfeit money. But there’s a limit. And that limit has been greatly increased, thanks to (1) A global overcapacity of production, financed by past credit. (2) A huge glut of cheap labor, also largely created by the credit expansion of the past 30 years. Without these two unique circumstances, the irresponsible policies of central banks – QE and ZIRP – would probably have pushed inflation into double digits or even higher.

There’s no need to worry about how much governments can borrow. Central banks buy government bonds – hold them on their balance sheets – return the interest payments – and the whole thing is forgotten. And when those bonds mature, central banks can use the repaid principal to buy more government debt!

In effect, today’s gaggle of Central Bankers are doing something that Central Bankers of the past could only dream of: printing money without causing inflation.

Politicians, too, are enjoying this unique opportunity for recklessness. They will be able to do what no one could do before: borrow money without paying it back.

The public has not yet read about this in the press, but it will soon. However, readers who have understood the money scam explained previously already know that there is no need for governments to repay their loans to central bankers, because the money they lent to governments didn’t come from taxpayers, it came from nowhere, like the rest of the world’s money.

There are two kinds of money in circulation: (1) Money derived from energy is wrongly called ‘fiat money.’ (2) Money derived from NOTHING, created by central banks is ‘debt money’.

Clare: Parliamentary Finance Committee prepares to question the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq after the Arbaeen visit

8/19/2024

 Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Mustafa Al-Karawi, revealed on Monday that a request was submitted to the Presidency of the Council of Representatives to set a date to question the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq regarding several files, most notably the exchange rate of the dollar against the local currency.

 Al-Karawi told Shafaq News Agency, "Members of the Parliamentary Finance Committee had previously submitted a request to the Speaker of the House of Representatives to question the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq."

 He added, "The interrogation relates to several files, the most important of which are the dollar exchange rate, its sale to travelers, the currency buying and selling window, financial transfers abroad, cash financing, US sanctions, and negotiations with the US Federal Reserve."

 He stressed, "We were previously seeking to host the Governor of the Central Bank, but then a request was submitted by some members of the House of Representatives to question the Governor in the House according to legal procedures and to activate the oversight role to question government officials."

 Al-Karawi said, "After the Arbaeen visit, there will be a move to the Presidency of the House of Representatives to set a date to question the Governor of the Central Bank in Parliament."

 On August 8, Hadi Al-Salami, a member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, revealed that his committee had been following up for more than a year on the file of terminating the assignment of the Central Bank Governor, Ali Al-Alaq, from his position.

 Al-Salami explained to Shafaq News Agency that the committee addressed the Prime Minister several times to pressure him to end Al-Alaq's assignment, due to the existence of many violations against him.

 He added that the government program announced by the Prime Minister when forming the government includes the necessity of ending the management of positions by proxy after six months of forming the government, noting that Al-Alaq is still managing the position by proxy without any action to cancel his assignment so far.

 Al-Salami pointed out that there are many files and violations related to the Central Bank, which have been referred to the Integrity Commission and the Public Prosecution, indicating that these violations include issues related to the lack of control over the exchange rate in the market, in addition to millions   of dollars and interest received by Arab and foreign banks, including Jordanian banks.   LINK

With its AML and CTF policy, Tangle DAO has also implemented additional protective measures such as conducting rigorous background checks and enhanced know-your-customer (KYC) procedures for all the proponents as well as grant recipients such as proof-of-address, proof of identity, screening against sanction lists from major countries and blocs, as well as checks for politically exposed persons (PEP).

IOTA Tangle Treasury Appoints Nicole O’Brien

In order to oversee all these processes, IOTA’s Tangle Treasury has appointed Nicole O’Brien as its CTF/AML officer. In her role, O’Brien will ensure adherence to best practices, enhance internal protocols and provide training for staff members.

These advancements, along with improved data security, bookkeeping, and the introduction of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for finance administration and grant management, will help boost the Tangle Treasury’s efficiency and professionalism. Further updates, including a call for new proposals, will likely come in the coming weeks.

The IOTA Tangle is an innovative form of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) specifically created for Web3 while using a unique structure based on directed acyclic graphs (DAG) instead of the conventional blockchain model, per the CNF report.

Recently, IOTA has put a major focus on enhancing trust and security, especially for its Identity wallets, per the CNF report.

Also, the European Identity Wallet seeks to transform the Identity verification process by allowing users to log into websites without passwords while securely sharing verified information with simplicity.

In collaboration with the European Commission, IOTA has introduced a new prototype solution using distributed ledger technology (DLT) in order to boost the management of the intellectual property rights marketplace while allowing users to utilize automated, transparent digital contracts, eliminating the need for traditional negotiations, reported CNF.

Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Launches $1 Million Bug Bounty Challenge Ahead of the Chang Hard Fork

▪️ Charles Hoskinson, Cardano’s co-founder, has announced a $1 million prize for hackers who successfully breach its newly introduced Lace Paper Wallet.

▪️ At the Rare Evo 2024 event, Hoskinson highlighted the upcoming Chang hard fork and the transition to the Voltaire Era.


Cardano’s (ADA) Charles Hoskinson has announced a $1 million bug bounty challenge to the ADA community pending the implementation of the long-awaited Chang Hard Fork.

Speaking at the recent Rare Evo 2024 event, Hoskinson announced that the newly introduced Lace Paper Wallet would be the object at the center of this challenge, with participants expected to breach its defense.

 The Lace Paper Wallet Bug Bounty Program would run until the end of 2024, or someone successfully breaches its security and retrieves the Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) inside.

The Web3 wallet was developed by Cardano’s (ADA) parent company, Input Output Global (IOG), with Paper Wallet integrated to beef up its security. According to reports, the added features would enable users possessing PGP keys to use a single encrypted QR code to restore their wallet.

This is, I think, the most secure paper wallet ever generated in the history of our industry.

In a video posted on X on August 17, Hoskinson expressed confidence in the wallet, boasting of its protection against attacks that encourage malicious actors to gain control of private keys to facilitate an authorized transaction.

Hoskinson Highlights Other Updates in the Cardano

At the Rare Evo 2024 event , Hoskinson highlighted the demonstration of the powerful scaling solution, Hydra, featuring the classic game “Doom”.

According to experts, this underscores its capabilities of handling high-throughput, real-time applications. Also, the expected Voltaire Era, which the Chang Hard Fork would introduce, was highlighted.

As we explained earlier, this upgrade would transfer governance controls to the community. According to Cardano’s Emurgo, the first phase was initiated in July 2024 with the next part expected in the fourth quarter of 2024 (Q4 2024).

The Chang Hard Fork is a technical component of the Voltaire era of the Cardano roadmap, which focuses on implementing a sustainable and distributed governance framework. With the first part set to be initiated in July 2024, the next part of the Hard Fork upgrade is set to happen by Q4 of this year.

The second phase would mark the full-force decentralized governance and an exit from the technical bootstrapping phase. The Delegate Representatives (DReps) are also expected to be introduced as a governance body.

In addition to the possibility of the SPOs voting on governance actions, a Constitutional Committee would be online to grow membership above the seven of the interim committee.

Finally, the community will take charge of the Treasury withdrawal.

Cardano users will be able to propose treasury debits via governance actions. The three bodies (Constitutional Committee, DReps, and SPOs) will vote on them, and if approved, ADA will be moved out of the treasury

From that point forward, the future of the Cardano blockchain will be in the hands of its community, along with its power to draft and ratify the Cardano Constitution. 

This will mark a monumental step not only for the network but also for the blockchain industry as a whole, as Cardano will be the first truly distributed and community-run blockchain network.

At press time, ADA was trading at $0.33, having declined by 2% in the last 24 hours.

They’re Now Staging A Banking Collapse, Why Did Warren Buffett Sell $50B in Stocks??

Atlantis Report:  8-18-2024

Recently, there has been a lot of talk in the financial world about big stock sell-offs by well-known investors, including Warren Buffett.

Often called the "Oracle of Omaha" because of his exceptional investing skills, Buffett's actions in the stock market are closely followed and considered as signs of wider economic trends.

The news that Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, sold off over $50 billion in stocks has caused a lot of discussion in the investment community, leading to speculation about the reasons behind these decisions and what they might mean for the global economy.

In the last several months, Warren Buffett, the legendary investor and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, has sold over $50 billion worth of stocks, including massive chunks of Bank of America and Apple shares. Warren Buffett's recent stock sales are significant not only because of the sheer volume but also because of the companies involved.

 In May, Buffett sold $21 billion worth of Apple stock, and later, in December, he sold another $28.7 billion of other stocks. This follows a sale of $2.3 billion worth of Bank of America stock earlier in the year.

Combined, these sales surpass $50 billion, a staggering amount that has left many financial analysts and investors scratching their heads.

Buffett is not alone in his massive stock sell-off. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase, the largest bank in the world, sold $140 million worth of his own stock in the bank. This is notable as it is the first time in his 18-year tenure that he has sold such a significant portion of his holdings.

 Other high-profile CEOs and founders, including Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and members of the Walton family, have also been selling off large amounts of stock.

“Tidbits From TNT” Monday 8-19-2024

TNT:

Tishwash:  Government Advisor: “Petro Dinar” Requires Good Stock of Foreign Currencies and Gold

The Prime Minister's advisor for financial affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, explained today, Sunday, that "the adoption of the dinar in pricing oil, or what is called (petro dinar), requires, first of all, the availability of foreign reserve currencies or gold, as Russia did when it purchased Russian oil with gold-backed rubles, which caused problems that we will discuss later."

He added in press statements that "these foreign reserves must be available (as a necessary condition) and operate according to a high standard of efficiency that guarantees the stability of the exchange rate linked to oil (the petro dinar) in order to hedge against oil price fluctuations to ensure the stability of the exchange rate (the petro dinar) itself."

Tishwash:  Government Advisor: “Petro Dinar” Requires Good Stock of Foreign Currencies and Gold

The Prime Minister's advisor for financial affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, explained today, Sunday, that "the adoption of the dinar in pricing oil, or what is called (petro dinar), requires, first of all, the availability of foreign reserve currencies or gold, as Russia did when it purchased Russian oil with gold-backed rubles, which caused problems that we will discuss later."

He added in press statements that "these foreign reserves must be available (as a necessary condition) and operate according to a high standard of efficiency that guarantees the stability of the exchange rate linked to oil (the petro dinar) in order to hedge against oil price fluctuations to ensure the stability of the exchange rate (the petro dinar) itself."

“Linking oil sales to the dinar on a fixed basis with oil prices instead of the foreign reserves base means linking the dinar to the oil asset cycle first, and that oil is sold according to global oil prices. If the exchange rate of the dinar (petrodinar) against the (petrodollar) is fixed, and oil prices fall, then the demand for the dinar for accounting purposes will certainly fall, and the dinar will be exchanged for oil in larger quantities and the demand for the (petrodinar) will be lower, and vice versa,” he added.

He pointed out that "any deviation between oil prices (petrodollar) and the exchange rate (petrodinar) according to international market data will be considered a cost that requires compensation by paying fewer dinars or collecting a higher dinar in the opposite case," indicating that "international reserve currencies are foreign currencies held by central banks and global financial institutions as part of their cash reserves. These currencies are used in international transactions and settling debts between countries, and are a standard for international payments and facilitating global trade."  link

Tishwash:  Parliament falsifies the budget again.. Al-Mandlawi may lose his position!

 MP Basem Khashan confirmed the possibility of terminating the membership of the acting Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, if the charges of tampering with the budget tables that were recently revealed by the Prime Minister’s Office are proven, noting that the parliament committed legal violations in amending the budget tables and they were on their way to being published and implemented had it not been for the government’s scrutiny, indicating that many MPs were subjected to deception in this file.

The Council of Ministers had spoken of an increase of 15 trillion dinars in the last tables, and it was not included in the agreement, discussions and voting, requesting a re-audit.

Khashan said, in an interview with the media figure Ahmed Mulla Talal:

The budget tables sent by the Council of Ministers were changed and their allocations were manipulated in the House of Representatives in an illegal manner.

The forged schedules would have been published and implemented had it not been for the Cabinet's scrutiny.

Most of the budget schedules have been changed, and the process has been carried out by ignoring a large number of parliamentarians.

The legal violations committed by the House of Representatives in amending the budget tables are countless and are considered a major crime.

The funding for the ration card basket has been increased to 5 trillion dinars for contracts that include major problems.

Manipulation and alteration operations can be legally classified under the crimes of alteration with the intent to defraud, regardless of the size of the amounts and figures that were manipulated.

The acting Speaker of the House of Representatives is responsible for tampering with the budget tables sent to the Cabinet.

The Federal Court can terminate Mohsen Al-Mandalawi’s membership, if the charges of manipulation are proven.  link

Tishwash:  Iraq: Qusay Shafiq reveals major financial scandals and demands investigation

Public money scandals continue in Iraq

 Dr. Qusay Shafiq, a well-known activist on social media, sparked widespread controversy after revealing huge financial scandals related to the management of public funds in Iraq. He accused the government and parliament of manipulating the financial budget tables, wondering about the fate of tens of billions of dollars that were not spent transparently.

Shafiq referred in a tweet on the “X” website to what he described as the “theft of the century,” which the Integrity Commission estimated at $2.5 billion, equivalent to 4 trillion Iraqi dinars. However, he expressed his surprise at the large gap between this figure and the ongoing corruption in manipulating the budgets of recent years, as he revealed that the manipulation of the 2024 budget tables reached about $10 billion.

In a related context, Shafik touched on the Food Security Law, noting that about $20 billion has been allocated to it, but he wondered about the entities that monitored the disbursement of this money, stressing that the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank have not received any of this money so far. He added, “$10 billion was spent on infrastructure projects, but where did the remaining $10 billion go?”

Shafik discussed the budgets of previous years, including the budgets of 2014, 2020, 2022, and 2023, noting that no funds were disbursed to the governorates from the 2023 budget. This raised questions about how the authorities deal with public funds, especially in light of the Central Bank’s report, which indicated that the cash reserve had not increased despite the significant rise in oil prices due to regional conflicts.

Qusay Shafiq concluded his statements by calling for a comprehensive investigation into previous financial deals, stressing that the people’s money is a trust that must be preserved. These statements come at a time when Iraq is witnessing increasing pressure from citizens and international observers, who are demanding greater transparency and accountability in the management of public funds.

Shafiq's statements are a strong call for regulatory bodies and government authorities to take urgent action to curb corruption and clarify the fate of the allocated funds, as the Iraqi people await answers on how their financial wealth is managed.  link

Tishwash:  UrgentIn numbers.. The Central Bank buys dollars from the Ministry of Finance in an unprecedented move since 2003

An economic expert revealed an “unprecedented” figure for the value of the dollars purchased by the Central Bank of Iraq from the Ministry of Finance during the month of July.

The Central Bank of Iraq purchased $9.6 billion from the Ministry of Finance in July 2024, the highest value since the bank began purchasing dollars from the ministry in 2003," Manar Al-Obaidi said in a statement received by {Euphrates News}.
He added, "The purchases did not exceed this value during the past ten years except once in October of last year, at $10 billion."

Al-Obaidi explained, "Thus, the rate of dollar purchases from the Central Bank for the year 2024 has reached $5.9 billion per month, the highest over the past ten years, with an annual growth rate of 10%. The growth rate had previously risen in 2023 to 20%."

He attributed "this increase in purchases to the Ministry of Finance's need for local currency to cover its increasing expenses over the past years, especially with the increase in operating spending and raising the level of spending in the 2023, 2024 and 2025 budgets."

Al-Obaidi expected that "this rate will rise in the coming months with the Central Bank's inability to meet the need for Iraqi dinars, which may force it to increase the issued monetary mass to meet the ministry's expenditure needs."  link
