Tishwash:  US State Department: Announcement of agreement on the future of the international coalition from Iraq within two weeks

 The US State Department expected to announce the agreement on the future of the international coalition from Iraq within two weeks.

"We expect that in the coming days, within a week or two, I don't want to specify a specific date, but in the coming days and weeks, we will hear more about the position, and I don't mean the American position, but the joint position, because the partnership between the United States and Iraq is the most important

And when we say there is an agreement or a deal; there was a deal or there was an agreement years ago regarding the presence of the American army and the international coalition in Iraq, this was at the invitation of the Iraqi government and secondly to combat terrorism only, and therefore we must see in this context of the agreement that was in the past years, how we will change if the circumstances change

As we must change or at least we must renew this defense and security relationship with Iraq," said the US State Department's regional spokesman, Samuel Werberg, in a press statement.

 "So far, there is no official announcement or statement for me to share, but as I said weeks ago, we knew that since the announcement by Secretary of Defense Austin, we saw that the US government and the Iraqi government were intervening in these discussions to set the appropriate conditions for the continuation of this coordination between the two countries, so we expect that in the coming days and maybe within a week or two we will hear more." link

IRAQ BOOSTS GOLD RESERVES TO OVER 145 TONS

Data from the World Gold Council reveals that Iraq purchased a total of 51.9 tons of gold between 2022 and September of this year.

ERBIL (Kurdistan24) - Iraq has significantly increased its gold reserves over the past three years, acquiring approximately 52 tons of the precious metal. The majority of these purchases occurred in 2022, accounting for 65% of the total acquired gold.

Data from the World Gold Council reveals that Iraq purchased a total of 51.9 tons of gold between 2022 and September of this year.

The breakdown shows a significant purchase of 33.9 tons in 2022, followed by 12.3 tons in 2023, and 5.7 tons so far this year. Notably, there were substantial purchases of 3.1 tons in February and 2.6 tons in May of this year.

This strategic accumulation of gold aligns with a global trend among central banks seeking to diversify their reserves and hedge against economic uncertainties.

Gold Prices in Iraq Soar

The increased demand for gold has also driven up its price in Iraq across all carats. Currently, one gram of gold is priced as follows:

- 24 carat gold: 108.652 dinars (equivalent to 83 US dollars – based on the official exchange rate by the Iraqi government.)

- 22 carat gold: 99.598 dinars (equivalent to 76 US dollars – based on the official exchange rate by the Iraqi government.)

- 21 carat gold: 95.071 dinars (equivalent to 72 US dollars – based on the official exchange rate by the Iraqi government.)

- 18 carat gold: 81.489 dinars (equivalent to 62 US dollars – based on the official exchange rate by the Iraqi government.)

Iraq's Global Ranking

According to the World Gold Council's latest data for June, Iraq's gold reserves have now reached 145.7 tons, a notable increase from 142.6 tons in May.

This increase has solidified Iraq's position as a significant holder of gold reserves globally. While the country has dropped one place to 31st in the World Gold Council's ranking of the 100 countries with the largest gold reserves, its holdings represent a substantial 9.8% of its total reserves.

The United States, Germany, and Italy continue to hold the top three positions in terms of gold reserves, while Suriname ranks at the bottom of the list.

US SANCTIONS RUSSIAN CRYPTO PLATFORMS FOR MONEY LAUNDERING TIES

Two crypto exchanges and two individuals have been sanctioned for ties to underground finance.

The United States government has taken action against two Russians and two cryptocurrency exchanges tied to alleged illicit Russian finance. The departments of the Treasury, Justice and State were involved, along with an assortment of overseas law enforcement agencies.

The Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) identified PM2BTC, a Russian cryptocurrency exchange, and Sergey Ivanov, who is associated with that exchange, as being of “primary money laundering concern.” At the same time, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has sanctioned Ivanov and another crypto exchange, Cryptex.

Crypto exchanges to the underworld
PM2BTC is alleged to process the proceeds of ransomware attacks and other illicit activities. Half of its activities are linked to illegal operations, according to FinCen.

According to Chainalysis, PM2BTC shares wallet infrastructure with UAPS (Universal Anonymous Payment System), an underground payment processing system.

Cryptex is registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines but advertises in Russian. According to the Treasury:

“Cryptex is also associated with over $720 million in transactions to services frequently used by Russia-based ransomware actors and cybercriminals, including fraud shops, mixing services, exchanges lacking KYC programs, and OFAC-designated virtual currency exchange Garantex.”

The Treasury Department acknowledged the US Secret Service Cyber Investigative Section, the Netherlands Police and the Dutch Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Service for seizing web domains and infrastructure associated with PM2BTC, Cryptex and Ivanov. Chainalysis said that it and Tether also contributed to the effort.

Links to “carding”
In documents unsealed in the District Court of Eastern Virginia, Ivanov was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit and aid and abet bank fraud in connection with websites that engage in “carding,” or trading in stolen credit card information.

Timur Shakhmametov was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit and aid and abet bank fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit access device fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering in connection with the same operations.

The State Department is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Ivanov or Shakhmametov.

BRICS NEWS: 40% GOLD AND 60% LOCAL—IS THERE ROOM FOR BITCOIN, XRP, AND OTHER CRYPTOS?

 ▪️The BRICS currency, which is reported to be in development, is said to be backed by 40% gold and 60% local currencies.

 ▪️The currency is disclosed to be apolitical and would be outside the “circumference” of the SWIFT payment network.

The much anticipated BRICS currency, which would be the principal driving force at the heart of the de-dollarization strategy, could be on the table at the upcoming summit in October.

According to experts, this kind of development could largely erode a significant portion of the US dollar dominance as several other developing countries show their willingness to join the alliance.

Even before that, details of the expected BRICS currency have started leaking as reports establish that the potential currency could be based on a “basket” of 40% gold reserves and 60% BRICS sovereign nation currencies.

According to the details, the regional currencies that could be involved are the Chinese yuan, Russian ruble, and Indian rupee. Interestingly, this report aligns with the alleged outcome of a recent meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Head of the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB).

In our review of a publication by a Russian news platform, it was discovered that shareholders directed the NDB to prioritize the new digital currency to facilitate trade and avoid Russian sanctions.

Some Exclusive Details Around the BRICS Currency
According to the report, Russia is facing limitations as its trade volume among certain members remains one-sided. A typical example is Russia’s possession of excessive rupees received in exchange for energy, such as oil and gas, with India.

In this case, backing the BRICS currency with gold and local currency could provide enough stability and take care of the exchange rate fluctuations. Conversely to the US dollar, the BRICS currency would be apolitical and transactional and operate externally from the SWIFT payment network.

According to reports, the West can only distract this arrangement by sanctioning currencies such as the Chinese RMB and the Indian Rupee. Unfortunately, this could negatively impact the Western economy as the trade between these two countries and the US and EU amounted to around $1.56 trillion last year.

According to experts, an attempt to impose sanctions could cause serious inflation and recession in the West. Meanwhile, the NDB shareholders include Brazil, India, China, and South Africa, and Bangladesh, Egypt, the UAE, and Uruguay have joined them. More than 30 other countries have expressed interest in joining the alliance.

Amid the ongoing developments, enthusiasts have highly recommended Bitcoin, XRP, and other cryptos for consideration for their democratic qualities. Already, countries like El Salvador have declared Bitcoin a legal tender and the process could be keenly studied by the BRICS nations. However, no official announcement on this possibility has ever been made.

Commenting on the impact of these developments, the founder and CEO of Zang Enterprises, Lynette Zang, recently disclosed in a CNF report that the US Dollar’s dominance has reduced to 3% and could dwindle to zero in 2025.

I believe with all my heart and everything that I know that we’ve already begun the transition to hyperinflation. We’re going to see more borrowing, more money printing, and more inflation because they have not killed that beast that they created and continue to create. It’ll become very obvious in 2025.

SEC CHAIR GENSLER PLUGS CHANGES TO EXCHANGE DEFINITION THAT WORRIES CRYPTO

Gary Gensler reminded a conference on Treasury bonds about a proposed rule change that would impact DeFi, too.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission will continue to pursue changes to the definition of “exchange” and alternative trading systems, Chair Gary Gensler told attendees of the US Treasury Market Conference on Sept. 26.

Gensler was speaking about issues that affect the efficiency and resilience of the US Treasury bond market, but that proposal has been heavily criticized in the digital asset space.

Defining dealers to include more market players
One of the measures the SEC has taken to buttress the Treasury market was a change to the definition of a “dealer” that was meant to clarify the role of market participants such as principal-trading firms, which might use algorithmic and high-frequency trading strategies.

The changes, proposed in 2022, were criticized at the time by pro-crypto politicians for the spillover effect they would have on digital asset trading. Nonetheless, they were adopted in February.

What makes an alternative trader?
The worst may be yet to come, however. Another issue for Treasury bonds that also touched digital assets is the definition of “exchange” and alternative trading systems. A proposal dating to 2022 would extend registration requirements for platforms that served as market makers for government securities.

The wording of that proposal implied other kinds of exchange platforms would be subject to the new rules as well, and potentially raised issues of constitutionality.

When the proposal was revived a year later, a section was added to apply specifically to decentralized finance (DeFi). “This update would close a regulatory gap among platforms,” Gensler said. The changes have not been finalized yet.

Notably, Prometheum and tZero are registered alternative trading systems. They are also the first and so far only firms to receive special purpose broker-dealer status for digital asset securities, which allows them to provide custody of digital asset securities on behalf of retail and institutional clients.

Gensler did not mention cryptocurrency or DeFi in his presentation. He stopped by CNBC the same day to talk about crypto regulation and claimed that the crypto industry is adequately regulated by existing laws.

Recession Signals Are FLASHING Red, It's Much Worse Than You Think

Recession Signals Are FLASHING Red, It's Much Worse Than You Think

Atlantis Report:  9-26-2024

The US economy has been struggling for some time, and the situation has worsened with the onset of a recession. The recession is here, and it's not looking pretty. Despite the optimism and reassurances from various sources, the reality is that the recession is expected to have a severe impact.

Today, we will examine the factors that have contributed to this economic downturn, the potential consequences, and the measures that can be taken to endure the difficult times ahead. The silent depression - when we talk about the economy, we often hear about two types of data: hard and soft.

Hard data includes tangible numbers like GDP growth, employment figures, and industrial production. Soft data, on the other hand, captures sentiments and perceptions, like consumer confidence and business optimism.

The soft data about the US economy today is not painting a great picture. Sentiment indicators are tanking, and they're closely mirroring the trends we see in hard data. There is a decline in business activity, a decrease in new orders, and a reduction in backlogs - all pointing towards an unhealthy economy.

While the term "recession" typically conjures up images of mass layoffs, shuttered businesses, and widespread economic hardship, the current downturn is taking on a more disturbing form – one that could be described as a "recession light.

" Rather than a sharp, dramatic contraction, we are witnessing a slow, steady erosion of economic vitality, marked by stagnating growth, persistent inflation, and a general unease that pervades every aspect of our financial lives.

As businesses struggle with decreasing demand, increasing costs, and tighter credit conditions, households are finding it challenging to manage their expenses due to rising prices and stagnant wages. But labor hoarding isn't the only piece of the puzzle.

There's something deeper at play here, something experts call the "silent depression." It's the underlying sense of unease that permeates the labor market, even in the absence of mass layoffs. It's the feeling that something isn't quite right, that the economy is in danger.

To understand this silent depression, we need to take a trip down memory lane. Before the 2008 financial crisis, businesses operated on a different rhythm. During economic recoveries, companies eagerly hired new workers, confident in the prospects of a booming economy. Nowadays, that optimism seems to be in short supply. Instead of a hiring spree, businesses are holding back and are reluctant to commit to long-term investments.

 They're wary of the uncertain economic situation, unsure if the recovery will be as robust as they hope. And so, they're playing it safe, keeping their workforce lean and their expenses in check. The current recession is the result of a buildup of global events and economic imbalances over time. Though no single factor can be solely held responsible, the mixture of these forces has created an ideal situation that has proven to be too much for even the strongest economies to handle.

 2020 disrupted global supply chains, shattered businesses, and altered consumer behavior in unprecedented ways. While the initial shock waves have subsided, the ripple effects continue reverberating through the global economy, worsening existing vulnerabilities and exposing structural weaknesses.

To combat the soaring inflation rates brought about by disruptions and geopolitical tensions, central banks worldwide have embarked on an aggressive path of interest rate hikes. While aimed at curbing runaway prices, these tightening monetary policies have also constricted access to credit and dampened consumer and business spending, further compounding economic woes.

Years of accommodative monetary policies and stimulus measures have left many economies saddled with mounting debt burdens, both at the governmental and private sector levels. As interest rates rise and economic conditions deteriorate, the ability to service these debts becomes increasingly strained, potentially setting the stage for a cascade of defaults and financial instability.

While recessions have far-reaching consequences, certain sectors and industries are particularly vulnerable to the current economic downturn. As households tighten their belts in response to rising costs of living and economic uncertainty, consumer spending – a vital driver of economic growth – has taken a significant hit. Retailers, particularly those in discretionary sectors like apparel and luxury goods, are feeling the brunt of this slump as consumers prioritize essential purchases.

The energy and commodities sectors are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in global demand and geopolitical instability. As economic activity contracts, the demand for resources like oil, gas, and metals wanes, putting pressure on prices and profitability in these industries.

Global Financial Crisis:

Tues. 24 Sept. 2024 BREAKING! Walmart Canada No Longer Accepts U.S. Dollars – A Harbinger of the U.S. Dollar’s Total Collapse

This is not a drill! Steve Quayle has just uncovered shocking evidence that Walmart Canada has stopped accepting U.S. dollars, signaling the imminent collapse of the U.S. currency. If you haven’t been paying attention, now’s the time to wake up—this is happening. Walmart, a U.S.-based corporation, is rejecting its own country’s currency in Canada, one of the U.S.’s closest economic partners. What does that say about the future of the U.S. dollar?

Steve Quayle was on the frontlines, personally witnessing this stunning move at a Walmart in Newmarket, Ontario. Every single cashier was rejecting U.S. currency—it wasn’t a glitch, it wasn’t a mistake. It’s real. The cashiers revealed that the entire system had been reprogrammed to refuse U.S. dollars. Let that sink in. A U.S. corporation just turned its back on the dollar, and it’s not because of a temporary issue. They know something we don’t.

This is the beginning of the end for the U.S. dollar. Walmart’s decision shows that the collapse is closer than anyone thinks. Other companies, countries, and financial institutions will follow suit. It’s happening right now, and if you don’t prepare, you’ll be left with nothing. Walmart has made its move to protect itself from the coming storm. If they’re abandoning the U.S. dollar, how long will it be before everyone else does?

Think about it: Canada and the U.S. are tightly linked economically. If Walmart is pulling the plug on U.S. cash in Canada, what does that say about the rest of the world? It says everything you need to know. The U.S. dollar is in deep trouble. If you’re holding U.S. dollars, you need to prepare NOW before it’s too late.

This isn’t some wild theory—it’s happening before our eyes. If Walmart is rejecting U.S. currency, you can bet the rest of the world is watching.

The U.S. dollar collapse is imminent. Prepare yourselves, protect your assets, and brace for the chaos that will follow. Hyperinflation, skyrocketing prices, and worthless savings—this is the future if you don’t act now.

Will you be ready? Time is running out. The collapse is coming, and once it happens, there will be no turning back.

Gold Telegraph: The Goal of BRICS is to Reform the Bretton Woods System

A BRICS member country stated in June that the bloc’s most important goal is to reform the Bretton Woods system.

Fast forward three months:

The dollar continues to collapse against the value of gold.

Questions can be answered if you look hard enough.

Japan has experienced three decades of stagnation, and the Bank of Japan has helped turn the country into a giant financial welfare addict.

Now, it is dealing with a population crisis and inflation.

The country is the biggest foreign owner of US debt.

I said years ago this was a tragic comedy.

 MOROCCO TURNS TO AI, BLOCKCHAIN TO ACHIEVE ‘DIGITAL HUB’ GOAL BY 2030

 The Digital Morocco 2030 was announced on Sept. 25 and launched with a $1.1 billion budget.

Morocco is betting on artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies to transform the country into a global digital hub as part of its ambitious Digital Morocco 2030 strategy.

The initiative was announced on Sept. 25 and launched with a $1.1 billion budget. It aims to integrate advanced technologies to boost public services, drive economic growth, and create 240,000 new jobs in the digital sector by 2030.

In addition to reforming government services, the strategy aims to support the development of new AI-driven startups and blockchain-based platforms, which will play a key role in Morocco’s goal of becoming a major player in the global digital economy.

AI and Blockchain

The strategy places AI and distributed ledger technology (DLT) at the core of public service digitization, streamlining government operations and improving transparency.

A key component, the Unified Administrative Services Portal, will utilize the blockchain to securely manage services such as healthcare, education, and social protection, while AI systems will enhance service delivery by analyzing and processing data in real-time.

Minister of Digital Transition Ghita Mezzour emphasized that the strategy seeks to boost the digital economy while fully embracing digital technologies, including AI and DLT.

The Moroccan government aims to improve its ranking in the United Nations Online Services Index, moving from 100th to 50th place globally.

The Digital Morocco 2030 strategy also targets an increase in digital export revenues to 40 billion dirhams ($4.15 billion) and an overall contribution of 100 billion dirhams ($10.36 billion) to the country’s gross domestic product.

Additionally, the government plans to enhance 5G coverage to 70% of the country’s territory and create 3,000 startups.

Attracting global tech

Morocco seeks to attract global tech companies specializing in AI and blockchain, inviting them to establish operations and contribute to the country’s growing tech ecosystem.

The Moroccan Agency for Digital Development (ADD) will support the digitalization of public administrations and standardize administrative procedures through a unified digital portal.

The Digital Morocco 2030 plan also focuses on fostering innovation within the country by supporting startups that are developing AI and blockchain-based platforms.

The government is creating a supportive legal framework to accelerate the growth of these startups and enable them to expand globally.

 By nurturing a dynamic tech ecosystem, Morocco hopes to generate hundreds of thousands of jobs while positioning itself as a competitive force in the AI and blockchain sectors on the international stage.

NYDFS SUPPORTS FEDERAL CRYPTO REGULATIONS AND MAINTAINS STATE ROLE 

• NYDFS expresses support for federal crypto regulations while ensuring states retain their roles.

• Adrienne Harris emphasizes the importance of both federal and state involvement in regulation.

• Many companies relocate due to regulatory uncertainty, while some choose to remain in the U.S. 

The New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) has expressed no concerns regarding federal cryptocurrency regulations. However, the office also believes that each state will retain its current role in overseeing digital assets.

Balancing Federal and State Authorities

Adrienne Harris, the New York State Financial Services Superintendent, spoke at the Digital Asset Compliance and Market Integrity Summit held in Manhattan on Wednesday. During the event, she defended federal cryptocurrency legislation while addressing the role of the states.

In her address, Harris stated that her office is ready to work with federal authorities, but insisted that states must also play a role to be more effective. She noted that states can move faster in regulating digital assets, which counters the perception that state oversight undermines regulatory standards. Harris remarked:

“Passing bills and drafting regulations is indeed important, but it is still essential for states to have a role.”

Continuing to discuss the role of states in crypto regulation, the Superintendent highlighted that NYDFS possesses one of the strongest digital asset regulatory frameworks globally. Harris expressed optimism that federal cryptocurrency legislation will soon be made public and confirmed that NYDFS has been in discussions with the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.

With a team of 60 full-time staff, NYDFS’s crypto division has become one of the largest regulatory bodies for cryptocurrency in the world.

Cryptocurrency Regulations

Congress, the SEC, NYDFS, the Treasury, and the Fed all advocate for a regulated presence of cryptocurrencies in the U.S. 

However, we have seen that tangible steps have not been taken to the desired level for years. 

Cryptocurrency companies in the U.S. are being directed down a straight line with their eyes blindfolded, yet they can neither see nor find a straight line.

Due to the lack of necessary regulatory guidance, many companies have relocated their headquarters to countries like the UAE, Qatar, and Singapore. 

However, giants like Coinbase and Ripple announced their intention to stay and continue fighting in America. If Trump is elected, it could be a significant win for cryptocurrencies, likely leading to tangible crypto laws. However, Harris also promised to focus on regulations in a scenario where she wins the elections.

The most notable feature of this upgrade is the threshold-based paradigm, which allows low-transaction accounts to continue using the wallet for free while high-transaction accounts may need to subscribe to additional features.

This update demonstrates Xaman’s dedication to giving value to its consumers while also guaranteeing that frequent users have access to even more advanced features.

Looking ahead, Xaman has announced intentions to launch a revenue-sharing program for developers of popular tools and xApps within its ecosystem in early 2025.

Although the finer details are still being worked out, Xaman hopes to create an atmosphere in which user contributions not only fuel the platform’s growth but also benefit the community.

This program aims to build a more integrated and thriving community by allowing creators of popular xApps to earn monthly payouts.

For example, a developer who produces a highly engaging xApp will be compensated on a regular basis, encouraging innovation and the creation of useful tools inside the Xaman ecosystem.

By sharing money with developers, Xaman is actively aiming to create a collaborative atmosphere in which all participants profit from each other’s success.

Xaman version 3.0 also includes the Universal Transaction Signing tool. This tool allows developers to connect to any network while enabling a variety of amendments, making it easier to sign transactions and experiment with new transaction kinds.

This innovation is especially useful for developers wishing to experiment with new transaction models because it eliminates the difficulties associated with signing transactions across several networks.

Previously, CNF reported that Xaman Wallet had connected with C14, allowing for smooth fiat-to-crypto transfers and giving users access to the Xahau and XRPL tokens. C14’s integration greatly improves global accessibility by allowing crypto purchases in more than 50 countries.

Will a BRICS Bretton Woods Take Place in Kazan?

Will a BRICS Bretton Woods Take Place in Kazan?

Arcadia Economics: 9-25-2024

As the geopolitical landscape continues to evolve rapidly, all eyes are on the upcoming BRICS meeting set to take place in Kazan, Russia next month. Renowned journalist and geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar has been at the forefront of reporting on this pivotal gathering, particularly focusing on the emerging proposal for a BRICS settlement currency known as the ‘Unit.’

The ‘Unit’ is a proposed settlement currency that aims to facilitate trade among BRICS nations without relying on the US dollar. As countries grapple with the implications of geopolitical tensions and economic sanctions, the need for an alternative currency becomes increasingly crucial. The ‘Unit’ could serve as a tool not just for trade, but also for creating a more interconnected and diverse global financial ecosystem.

The question now arises: will Kazan mark the dawn of a new financial era akin to the Bretton Woods Conference of 1944? While the situation is fluid, the stakes are undoubtedly high. If the BRICS nations successfully unveil a cohesive strategy that incorporates the ‘Unit’, it could redefine economic relations not just among its members, but also with the rest of the world.

The potential shift would not just challenge the dollar’s supremacy, but could also catalyze other regions to explore similar frameworks, seeking alternatives that reflect their specific geopolitical and economic realities.

As we approach the meeting in Kazan, anticipation grows. Will the BRICS nations be able to forge a path towards a unified settlement currency? If so, the implications for global economics could be profound. Economic analysts, policymakers, and investors alike will be watching closely as these developments unfold. Pepe Escobar’s insights serve as a reminder of the significant changes afoot in international finance, and the Kazan meeting may very well be a turning point in this ongoing saga.

Tishwash:  Prime Minister: We will switch to the correspondent banking system to conduct 100% of foreign transfers by early 2025

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said that Iraq will switch to a correspondent banking system to conduct 100% of foreign transfers early next year.

This came during discussions he held with US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo and a number of officials in the ministry regarding the government's efforts and plans for economic and financial reform, the move towards diversifying sources of Iraqi output, enhancing development targets, and practical measures implemented in the field of combating money laundering.

Al-Sudani stressed that the government has made great strides in the financial and banking reform file and that 95% of bank transfers are made through the electronic platform, and the remainder will be completed by the end of this year.  link

Tishwash:  Enhancing Transparency: Rafidain Barcode System for Iraqi and Foreign Company Incorporation Certificates

Rafidain Bank announced, today, Thursday, the adoption of the health of the issuance system via the electronic barcode system for certificates of establishment for Iraqi and foreign companies

 The bank's media stated in a statement received by {Al Furat News}, "Based on government directives to simplify procedures and automate data, Rafidain Bank announces the adoption of the issuance health system via the electronic barcode system for certificates of incorporation for Iraqi and foreign companies, in addition to working on the search, investigation and inquiry system via OFAC lists and lists affiliated with the Committee for Freezing Terrorist Funds (local and international)."

He added: "The aim of these procedures followed by the bank is to inquire and verify companies that have indicators of sanctions and bans, whether local or international, so the bank follows due diligence procedures to audit in accordance with Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Law No. 39 of 2015 and take the necessary precautionary measures." 

The bank confirms that the advantage of the barcode system lies in linking the bank and its branches to the ministry’s departments and cancelling the paper certificate verification process and transferring it electronically, saving time and speeding up the completion of transactions without resorting to the previous routine cycles. link

Tishwash:  Masoud Barzani to a parliamentary delegation: There is an opportunity to legislate the oil and gas law

The President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, stressed today, Wednesday, September 25, 2024, that "the opportunity exists to legislate an oil and gas law to regulate the distribution of wealth."

During his reception of a delegation from the Parliamentary Finance Committee, according to a statement by the Parliamentary Media Department, received by "Baghdad Today", Barzani stressed "his desire to resolve the differences between the central government and the region, expressing his support for the Finance Committee's movement in this regard."

The meeting discussed, according to the statement, "the overall common situation and ways to resolve the pending issues between the central government and the Kurdistan Regional Government, in a way that establishes a new phase of cooperation, coordination and understanding based on respect for the Iraqi constitution."

Al-Atwani reviewed "the files that the Finance Committee delegation came to discuss with the Kurdistan Regional Government, most notably the implementation of the provisions of the Federal General Budget Law, the oil and national wealth file, the localization of employees' salaries, border crossings, taxes and customs, and other issues related to the financial aspect."

He stressed "the Finance Committee's constant efforts to find understandings that lead to radical solutions to the outstanding issues between the federal government and the region," stressing that "deferring the differences does not solve them, but rather increases their complexity."

Barzani praised the efforts of the Finance Committee "in terms of enacting laws, monitoring performance, and taking the initiative to end disputes."  link

He added that "the meeting discussed aspects of cooperation and the possibility of benefiting from the extensive expertise available to Dubai Ports in the field of rapid transportation of goods and re-export, especially its extensive and successful experiences in transporting goods between Asia and Europe, where bin Sulayem expressed the company's desire to cooperate with Iraq in this field, as well as the possibility of forming partnerships with the private sector in various industrial fields."

The Prime Minister stressed - according to the statement - "Iraq's openness to all forms of constructive economic partnerships," referring to "Iraq's efforts to use the available capabilities to implement the Strategic Development Road project, which is among the priorities of the government program; as it represents an important pillar for the non-oil economy and an opportunity to develop infrastructure and provide thousands of jobs and employment opportunities   link

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Thursday Morning 9-26-24

Good morning Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE VS. SEC: HOW THE COURT RULING SETS THE STAGE FOR RLUSD STABLECOIN LAUNCH!

Ripple’s Big Plans in “Uptober”!
Despite the rumors of SEC’s reappeal on XRP status, Ripple is poised for exciting developments next month. Monica Long, Ripple’s president, shared insights into the company’s plans, including:

▪️the upcoming RLUSD stablecoin launch

▪️enhancements to the XRP Ledger (XRPL)
▪️focus on global expansion.

SEC Case Resolved: A New Dawn for Ripple

The court ruling that XRP is not a security has provided Ripple with the clarity it desperately needed. Long noted that this victory benefits Ripple and sets a precedent for the entire crypto industry. Although the SEC might consider an appeal by October 7, however, Ripple remains optimistic about its strong position.

Ripple’s Imminent Launch to Pump the Network

Ripple is set to launch its RLUSD stablecoin by the end of 2024, pending regulatory approval. Backed by U.S. dollars and short-term Treasury bills, RLUSD aims to facilitate transactions for institutional investors without disrupting XRP’s market share. Given its favorable regulatory climate, Garlinghouse views Japan as an ideal market for RLUSD. The stablecoin is beta testing on the XRPL and Ethereum networks.

Beyond the stablecoin, Ripple plans to enhance the XRP Ledger.

Long hinted at introducing “Hooks” to bring smart contract capabilities, complementing existing features like decentralized exchanges (DEX) and automated market makers (AMM). These upgrades aim to make XRPL even more competitive in the enterprise-grade blockchain space.

According to the notable XRPL validator Vet, Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin launch is nearing. Unusual minting activity, including the recent minting of 5,515 RLUSD tokens on Ethereum, has drawn attention; this raised the total circulating supply to 6,028 tokens and suggests an intensified testing phase. This latest issuance marks the largest since the project began in late August and aims to assess RLUSD’s performance across both the Ethereum and XRPL networks.

Meanwhile, the XRP community is buzzing with speculation about how RLUSD’s debut might affect XRP’s price. Some believe that if RLUSD equals the value of one XRP, it could lead to a significant price increase for XRP, currently valued at $0.5854, well below its previous $1 peak in November 2021.

Global Expansion: Shifting Focus to Asia

While regulatory challenges persist in the U.S., Ripple’s growth is accelerating in Asia, with 40% of its activities now based in the region. Moreover, both Garlinghouse and Long have noted the long-term partnership with Japan’s SBI Group as a crucial driver of XRP adoption, positioning Ripple as a significant player in the future of decentralized finance.

As Ripple embarks on this new chapter, it is set to innovate, expand globally, and redefine the roles of both XRP and the broader blockchain ecosystem.

Visa Introduces Tokenized Asset Platform for Blockchain-Based Financial Services

Visa has launched the Visa Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP), a new product designed to help banks issue fiat-backed tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.

This platform aims to digitize and automate the trading of real-world assets, such as commodities and bonds, using smart contracts. VTAP provides financial institutions with the tools and infrastructure needed to tokenize fiat currencies, enhancing transaction speed and security. One of the first banks to use this platform will be Spain’s BBVA, which plans to roll out a live pilot in 2025.

PayPal Expands Crypto Services: US Merchants Can Now Buy, Sell, and Hold Bitcoin

PayPal announced that it is now letting US merchants buy, sell and hold Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies directly from PayPal business accounts.

PayPal announced that it is now letting US merchants buy, sell and hold Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies directly from their PayPal business accounts. The new capabilities, however, will not be available for users in New York, the company said.

As demand for expanded cryptocurrency capabilities is on the rise, PayPal decides to bring up new offerings.

Jose Fernandez da Ponte, Senior Vice President of Blockchain at PayPal, said that since the company rolled out features allowing users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies within their existing PayPal and Venmo accounts, it has the opportunity to observe and analyze user behavior.

PayPal Opens The Door For Crypto Business

The new feature was a result of the insights PayPal has got. It aims to address the growing demand among business owners for cryptocurrency functionalities, according to da Ponte. PayPal expects the feature to help businesses interact with cryptocurrencies with ease.

“Business owners have increasingly expressed a desire for the same cryptocurrency capabilities available to consumers. We’re excited to meet that demand by delivering this new offering, empowering them to engage with digital currencies effortlessly,” da Ponte stated.

Alongside the offering, PayPal also enables businesses to transfer their cryptocurrencies to “third-party eligible wallets.” This allows them to send and get tokens to and from external blockchain addresses like cold storage wallets, which could help enhance security.

News, Rumors and Opinions Thursday AM 9-26-2024

Note: All intel should be considered as "Rumors" until we receive official announcements ...and “Rates and Dates” could change anytime until we get to the banks/redemption centers.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 26 Sept. 2024

Compiled Thurs. 26 Sept. 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Be Prepared – On Tues. 1 Oct. 2024:

U****c. ( no idea what this word is?) Corp. dissolves, ending the fiat monetary system and closing U****c. government. The privately owned Federal Reserve and IRS will shut down. Its fiscal year ends, and it’s been bankrupt since 2008. No Congressional budget approvals, just running on fumes with a fiat dollar.

The Cabal’s Blackrock – the Deepstate’s financial arm, controlling more wealth than entire nations has already declared bankruptcy.

45,000 ILA workers at major ports will go on strike as unions push for a 77% wage increase. Half of US goods go through those ports. For each day of the strike, it will take one week to recover, severely disrupting the supply chain. Stock up on goods.

All banks worldwide not Basel III Compliant (have gold backing to their monies) will be closed. The Basel III regulations could alter the real estate market in unprecedented ways.

In the first week of October the Emergency Broadcast System will activate and broadcast documentaries 24/7 on the state of the World.

With the QFS activation governments as we know them will shrink by 90-95%.

NESARA GESARA begins as countries worldwide activate the gold/asset-backed Quantum Financial System and Global Currency Reset. The BRICS nations will head the greatest wealth transfer in history. 134 nations are ditching the fiat US dollar and moving to gold-backed currencies. Each of these currencies will trade at a 1:1 ratio.

The new United States of America Republic will start its new fiscal year under a gold-backed US Note as part of the Global Currency Reset.

OPEC+ nations may announce further cuts to oil production, potentially driving up global energy prices.

After a long hiatus, millions of Americans will have to resume paying student loans, impacting their disposable income.

LIBOR is slated to be replaced by SOFR, marking a significant change in financial benchmarks.

Several key corporate earnings reports and economic forecasts are expected, with the potential to greatly affect already volatile markets.

The imposition of new tariffs, as trade disputes between major economies escalate, threatens to impact the cost of imports and manufacturing.

Pandemic-related housing protections, such as eviction moratoriums and mortgage forbearance programs, are scheduled to expire.

Fears of a debt crisis in emerging markets continue to rise, fueled by climbing interest rates and global economic pressures, with potential fallout for currencies.

As October 1st marks the start of the new fiscal year for many organizations, we could see budget reshuffling, layoffs, or major strategic shifts.

All of these factors are driving us towards historic events that could change the direction of this country forever. The Deepstate is well aware that there’s no turning back after this point. Expect them to fight back with everything they have, because our future means the end of their reign. They don’t want you to reach that moment of victory.

~~~~~~~~~~

Global Currency Reset:

Wed. 25 Sept. 2024 Wolverine:

On Tuesday, October 1, 2024, U****c.(????) Corp. dissolves – ending the fiat monetary system experiment. The gold and asset-backed quantum financial system is ready, set, and taking over. On October 1, 2024, the U****c. corporation fiscal year ends and it has been bankrupt since 2008. There are no budget approvals from Congress, it just runs on fumes with a fiat dollar.

Now, the Federal Reserve and IRS will shut down along with it. And let’s not forget Blackrock, the financial arm of the Deepstate, which controls more wealth than entire nations. They have already declared bankruptcy. If a bank does not comply with Basel III (not gold backed), it will close on October 1st.

The first week of October will change everything. The Emergency Broadcast System will break the silence and reveal all hidden truths. Countries around the world are preparing to activate the Quantum Financial System (QFS).

The BRICS nations are also making their move, with the largest transfer of wealth in history. 134 nations are abandoning the fiat US dollar and moving to gold-backed currencies. Each of these currencies will trade on a 1:1 ratio, leveling the playing field like never before.

The new Republic begins. On October 1st, the United States will begin its new fiscal year with a gold backed US banknote as part of the global monetary reset.

On our television we're now seeing Kurdistan news on our television.  We are seeing the Kurdish news is now talking about Iraq is planning on a currency redenomination.  They're saying Iraq is going to delete the three zeros and this will bring value to the currency of Iraq and it will facilitate financial transactions.  FRANK: ...Does it get any better than that?!  ...Re-denomination means they will replace the 3-zero note with lower notes because the new exchange rate will only work with the new lower notes they're about to give you.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Evening 9-25-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BRICS NEWS:

BRICS EXPANDS: 23 COUNTRIES APPLY, 159 NATIONS ADOPT BLOCKCHAIN-BASED PAYMENTS

▪️23 countries have applied to join the BRICS alliance, with 24 more expressing informal interest, totaling 47 nations.

▪️BRICS is promoting de-dollarization, aiming to use local currencies for trade instead of the US dollar, which could impact various US sectors.

According to recent reports, 23 countries have formally submitted their applications to join the BRICS alliance before the 2024 summit, global economic shifts are taking center stage.

The BRICS countries, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, have become popular among the new members of emerging markets, mainly from Asia, Africa, and South America, to expand their trade operations using

The growing interest in BRICS reflects a broader movement toward de-dollarization, where nations seek to reduce dependency on the US dollar for international trade.

The alliance has promoted local currency usage as a means of boosting economic independence, with developing countries viewing this initiative as beneficial to their own financial systems. 

In addition to the 23 nations that have officially applied, another 24 countries have expressed informal interest in joining BRICS, bringing the total number of potential members to 47.

This could be a major blow to some of the biggest industries in the United States since the country’s economic dominance has been rooted in the use of the US dollar internationally.

The de-dollarization process, strengthened by BRICS countries, maybe the first step in shifting the current world’s financial system paradigms.

Internal Divisions Emerge Over BRICS Enlargement Process
The next BRICS summit is planned for October 22-24 in the Russian region of Tatarstan, Kazan and will consider the admission of new members as well as other important issues.

However, the existence of the alliance has been marked by internal conflicts on the issue of expansion. While China and Russia have supported the idea of the expansion of the bloc, India has urged the need for a moratorium on the enlargement process for at least five years.

Key discussions at the summit are likely to revolve around trade agreements and the extended use of local currencies for cross-border transactions, a core objective of BRICS’ de-dollarization efforts. 

The expansion debate will be closely watched as the alliance continues to shape its role in the global economic landscape.

BRICS Explores Blockchain-Based International Payment System
Over the past few months, BRICS has increased its activities to develop new financial structures that are designed to weaken the dollar. 

As Crypto News Flash stated earlier, the bloc is now considering the possibility of creating an international payment system that will be based on the blockchain and will involve more than 159 foreign partners. It would prefer transactions in other currencies than the dollar, for example, the ruble or the yuan.

However, there has been a lot of misconception concerning the initiative, and it has been rumored that 159 countries had signed up for the system prior to its launch. However, such claims have been discredited, and there is no evidence to support such a high level of engagement.

BRICS’ pursuit of de-dollarization and alternative financial systems signifies a transformative period in international trade, where local currencies and advanced technologies could redefine economic interactions across borders.

DTCC TOKENIZATION PILOT FINDS 'SIGNIFICANT' IMPROVEMENTS TO LIQUIDITY AND COLLATERAL OPTIMIZATION

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation’s latest blockchain pilot found “robust functionality and potential” for tokenizing Treasuries.

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation has announced the results of its U.S. Treasury Collateral Network tokenization pilot, finding “robust functionality and potential” for distributed networks.

Four investors, four banks, two central counterparties and three custodians participated in the experiment, which tested 10 different use cases. The financial privacy-focused Canton Network was tapped for the effort.

“The successful completion of this pilot proves that tokenized assets could be leveraged to optimize collateral,” Kelly Mathieson, chief business development officer at Digital Asset, a firm involved in the pilot, said in a statement.

The pilot was conducted between June and July to test the feasibility of “complex real-world transactions” like cloning and settling a “digital twin” for U.S. Treasuries. It also looked into real-time margin calls, asset recalls and other portfolio management services.

“In hypothetical default scenarios, secured parties seized pledged assets, transferring ownership in atomic transactions, ensuring legal certainty and control,” DTCC wrote in a press release.

Nadine Chakar, longtime blockchain advocate and global head of DTCC Digital Assets, noted in particular that the system “significantly” improved liquidity and collateral optimization.

DTCC has been experimenting with blockchain since at least 2020, when it launched a pilot program called Project Ion looking to test out alternative settlement methods. The firm is responsible for clearing several hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of transactions annually.

RIPPLE’S PARTNERS DLOCAL AND SHOPEEPAY EXPAND TO SOUTHEAST ASIA

▪️dLocal expands partnership with ShopeePay, reaching 200 million new e-commerce customers across four Southeast Asian countries.

▪️Ripple’s network strengthens in Asia as dLocal, Tranglo, and Instarem enhance cross-border payment solutions.

The most recent developments from Ripple’s ecosystem show considerable growth for its users and partners in the Southeast Asian e-commerce business. dLocal, a RippleNet-based payment platform since 2017, has announced an expanded relationship with ShopeePay, allowing its merchants to accept payments in four new markets: Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

This move significantly expands access to an estimated 200 million additional e-commerce buyers in Asia. The fact that ShopeePay is powered by Tranglo, another Ripple partner, adds to Ripple’s regional prominence.

dLocal Expands with ShopeePay Thailand, Adding Payout Solutions
Furthermore, dLocal does not limit itself to pay-ins. In conjunction with ShopeePay Thailand, the company is expanding its offerings to include merchant payout options. 

This dual functionality considerably improves the seamlessness of payment processing, allowing businesses to receive payments more swiftly while also handling disbursements with greater simplicity.

This cooperation underscores dLocal’s efforts to reestablish its footprint following a period of setbacks, demonstrating renewed growth and a commitment to growing its services in emerging regions.

Previously, CNF reported that Tranglo expanded its services to Brunei, with the goal of providing migrant workers with faster and more secure remittance choices using Ripple’s blockchain technology.

This expansion highlights the growing importance of blockchain in improving cross-border payment solutions, and Tranglo’s efforts to integrate Ripple’s technology demonstrate the potential efficiencies it may bring to financial transactions.

As we previously highlighted, Instarem, another Ripple affiliate, has also made considerable gains in cross-border payment procedures by integrating Apple Pay with their Amaze card.

This integration improves the convenience of contactless payments across borders via mobile devices, demonstrating how Ripple’s network of partners is always growing to provide cutting-edge solutions for a wide range of payment requirements in the digital era.

LITTLE BY LITTLE w/ G. Edward Griffin

Andy Schectman:  9-25-2024

In today’s video, Andy reflects on a book that profoundly impacted his understanding of finance, history, and power structures—The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin.

First published in 1994, this book uncovers the secretive origins of the Federal Reserve and dives deep into the world of banking, exposing the hidden forces shaping global economies.

Since his last reading, Andy has found even more meaning in Griffin's work. The book doesn’t just provide a history lesson—it reveals the mechanics behind financial systems, shedding light on how policies created in boardrooms ripple through society, often with devastating consequences for everyday people.

Andy explains how this eye-opening book has fueled his desire to educate and inspire others to look beyond mainstream narratives about money.

Whether you're curious about how the Federal Reserve came to be, or you want a better understanding of financial institutions’ roles in shaping our lives, this book has become a must-read for anyone passionate about financial freedom.

Andy shares his personal journey with the book, and how The Creature from Jekyll Island continues to resonate with him today, sparking conversations on truth, transparency, and control over our own futures.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

ETHEREUM IS A ‘DICTATORSHIP,’ CLAIMS CARDANO FOUNDER CHARLES HOSKINSON

Hoskinson says the Ethereum network is more like a “dictatorship” where Vitalik Buterin exerts too much influence over the development of the decentralized network.

Cardano’s Voltaire-era governance overhaul prevents it from becoming a “dictatorship” like Ethereum and sidesteps the “anarchy” of Bitcoin, its founder Charles Hoskinson said.

Speaking to Cointelegraph at Token2049 in Singapore, Hoskinson attacked Ethereum’s governance model, claiming it relies too heavily on its co-founder Vitalik Buterin for direction.

Hoskinson said that blockchains can elect to keep the protocol forever simple, like Bitcoin, or “pick a king” to run things. However, Cardano’s new governance model solves the “governance trilemma” of “efficiency, effectiveness and integrity” by using delegated representatives and a members-based organization called Intersect to distill complex governance topics down for a vote.  

“If you have those three things, then you have a fair shot of avoiding the anarchy of Bitcoin or the dictatorship of Ethereum, and you actually have something that can move forward with one voice, but it’s still decentralized at the end of the day because it represents everybody.”

Pressed to explain his controversial remark comparing Ethereum to a dictatorship, Hoskinson stated that Ethereum’s “entire vision” starts and ends with the 30-year-old Buterin.

“Everybody looks to him for the roadmap. Everybody looks to him for inspiration, and he’s also the only person who has enough power to rally people,” he said. “If you were to remove him from the equation right now, what’s the next hard fork going to look like, and how quickly can they actually get there?” he asked.

Hoskinson said Buterin was primarily responsible for altering the Ethereum roadmap away from sharding-based optimization of the base chain and toward rollups and layer-2 networks for scalability.

In recent months, the Ethereum roadmap has been heavily criticized for empowering “extractive L2s” as fee revenue and activity on the L1 dropped.

“Where does this idea of embracing layer 2s or rollups come from? Was it some random Ethereum engineer — or was it Vitalik Buterin writing a blog post about it, talking about it, and advocating for it?”

Although Hoskinson believes Ethereum is heavily influenced by Buterin’s vision, Buterin does not wield unilateral power in the decentralized network.

The blockchain uses a mix of offchain and onchain governance, including the Ethereum Foundation and community and stakeholder input into Ethereum Improvement Protocols, with critical decisions taken at core developer meetings. Contentious decisions can result in a hard fork, as happened with The DAO hack rollback that resulted in Ethereum Classic.

Hoskinson was one of eight original co-founders of Ethereum and CEO of the Ethereum Foundation, but his for-profit vision for the protocol clashed with Buterin’s and the young creator fired him from the project at a meeting in Switzerland in 2014.

While Hoskinson conceded that he had played a broadly similar role in shaping Cardano since 201, he said the network’s new governance model is designed to ensure that “Charles, alive or dead, doesn’t matter. There’s still going to be innovation on a daily basis.”

Cardano’s Chang hard fork in early September turned its Cardano (ADA) asset into a governance token, enabling holders to elect representatives and vote on development proposals and on funding for community projects. The founding entities that have guided the project so far — the Cardano Foundation, Input Output Global and Emurgo — can no longer trigger forks and upgrades.

Hoskinson said the interplay between the members-based organization of researchers and engineers — dubbed Intersect — and the delegate representatives is a much more “collaborative model” that functions with or without an active founder.

“They can talk to each other, vote, and come up with and use a blockchain-based government to ratify a roadmap on a regular basis,” said Hoskinson.

Cardano is still working on finalizing a constitution that will likely set hard limits on some core issues, such as supply and how governance works.

IRELAND TO STREAMLINE LICENSING PROCESS FOR CRYPTO BUSINESSES

Ireland's Central Bank is enhancing its authorization process for crypto companies as the European Union prepares to implement the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation. Deputy Governor Derville Rowland announced this development during a speech at AFME's 8th Annual European Compliance and Legal Conference on September 23, 2024.

The authorization process, which crypto businesses must complete to operate legally in Ireland, involves regulatory approval of a company's financial stability, risk management systems, and compliance with anti-money laundering regulations. 

Rowland stated, "We have been working to continually improve our authorisation process," adding, "Better risk assessment, better communication and better supervisory outcomes have been the output of that work."

This move comes as part of Ireland's preparation for MiCAR, a EU-wide regulatory framework for crypto-assets. MiCAR aims to establish consistent rules across EU member states for crypto-asset issuers and service providers. "We are working closely with our EU Peers and the ESAs to ensure the necessary coordination and consistency across Europe," Rowland said.

Rowland highlighted the significant potential of blockchain technologies: "We can see the many areas where the blockchain has significant potential to bring about positive change, even transformation, in how we do things. Whether this be tokenisation of investment products or improvements in post-trade infrastructure and interoperability, there are important positive stories to tell."

The Central Bank aims to strike a balance between innovation and risk management. "It is important that these benefits can be realised, whilst also ensuring that the risks are well understood and managed." Rowland also noted the key role of regulation: "Regulation plays a crucial role in the safe, and therefore enduring, adoption of innovation into the system."

Concerns Over Implementation And Compliance
While this move aims to simplify procedures, some industry representatives express concerns about potential challenges during implementation. "Talking about regulations in this industry is good, as governments are getting ready for mass-adoption.

The problem is, how will these regulations hinder development, and most importantly, deployment," says Daniel Logvin, CEO at LedgerByte. "Compliance is a very tough thing to achieve, especially when lots already have systems that work," Logvin adds.

"It provides increased regulatory clarity, which will help support institutional trust, investor confidence and consumer protection," notes Susana Esteban, Managing Director at FTI Consulting. However, she cautions that "It adds more compliance responsibilities (and potentially costs) for crypto companies and traditional financial entities working with digital assets."

Ireland's Potential As A Crypto Hub
According to an October 2023 article by Ben Strack in Blockworks, Ireland's appeal to crypto companies has been growing for years. The Irish government launched an "Innovation Hub" in 2018, facilitating engagement between fintech firms and the Central Bank of Ireland.

Coinbase opened its Dublin office in late 2018, while Gemini became the first Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Ireland in July 2022. MoonPay gained VASP status in August 2023, and Kraken received E-Money Institution authorization in September 2023.

"We welcome regulatory clarity and continued improvement and enhancements by regulators to adapt regulations to both protect users and markets but also balancing out the need to continue to foster innovation and growth," says Gracy Chen, the CEO of Bitget. 

Certainly Ireland is always high on the list for innovative companies to be based there as a global financial centre, its membership and access to the European Union as well as its favourable business environment including its deep talent pool. This certainly helps to encourage crypto-companies to consider Ireland more seriously as a base."

"If Ireland pairs this with tax incentives or a business-friendly environment, it could become a hub for crypto firms, but this legislation is EU wide and it may have some competition for business," suggests Richard Lofthouse the Head of Risk and Data Science at InFlux Technologies.

Balancing Regulation With Innovation In EU
MiCAR regulates previously uncovered crypto-asset activities in the EU, including their issuance, custody, administration, and trading on platforms and exchanges. 

"This could position the EU as a leader in crypto regulation, but being a leader in rules doesn't always translate to success in the market. It's important for the EU to find a balance between strong regulation and allowing room for innovation to stay competitive globally," Logvin states.

Esteban concludes, "Regulatory certainty can be a competitive advantage. MiCAR provides regulatory guidelines, which could make EU-based crypto businesses more attractive to institutional investors and partners, boosting their global credibility."

GENSLER IGNORED DIGITAL ASSETS IN CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY BEFORE 4 HOUR GRILLING ON CRYPTO

Gensler defends SEC's stance on crypto amid congressional criticism over lack of clear regulations.

SEC Chair Gary Gensler faced criticism during yesterday’s congressional hearing over the agency’s approach to regulating cryptocurrencies despite omitting any mention of digital assets in his written testimony. 

Lawmakers and SEC commissioners questioned the effectiveness and clarity of current strategies, highlighting concerns about “regulation by enforcement” and the absence of explicit guidelines.

House Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry noted that the House had passed the FIT 21 Act to establish clear rules and robust consumer protections in the digital asset ecosystem. “More than two-thirds of the House, including 71 Democrats, rejected Chair Gensler’s approach to digital assets by supporting clarity and consumer protection,” McHenry stated during the hearing.

The FIT 21 Act’s definition of decentralization was a point of contention. Some lawmakers questioned whether setting a 20% ownership threshold and allowing anonymous self-hosted wallets could hinder enforcement efforts and regulatory oversight.

Commissioner Hester Peirce criticized the SEC’s reliance on enforcement actions without providing clear regulatory guidance. “It’s a very bad approach to trying to regulate an industry if you’re trying to protect investors,” Peirce said. She emphasized that this method is inefficient, leaving market participants uncertain about the SEC’s authority and compliance boundaries.

Commissioner Mark Uyeda echoed the need for the SEC to articulate how existing securities laws apply to digital assets. “The Commission, for instance, could have articulated, specifically in the context of crypto and digital assets, how you apply this test,” Uyeda remarked, referring to the Howey Test used to determine whether an asset qualifies as a security.

Despite these criticisms, Gensler maintained that current laws regarding digital assets are sufficient and explicit. Gensler asserted,

“Regardless of where somebody stores their ledger if they tokenize a security—an equity, a bond, or an investment contract—it’s important to make sure that the investors and the investing public have the disclosures they need.”

He argued that tokenization does not alter the fundamental economics of an asset being a security.

Concerns were also raised about the influence of celebrity promotions and potential “pump and dump” schemes in the crypto space. Representative Bill Foster questioned whether the SEC has adequate authority to address issues where influencers promote investments without disclosing compensation. 

“I’ve heard concerns from industry participants about influencers, bloggers, celebrities, and others that use their celebrity status to promote investments without disclosing that they are, in fact, being paid to do so,” Foster said.

Gensler responded by saying,

“I would say I think the laws are strong. I mean, it’s always gaps in resources and we get, uh, on, on average a year 40 to 50,000 tips, complaints, and referrals. That’s, uh, What, 4, 000 a month or so.

And, uh, we, we have to prioritize those tips and complaints and referrals.”

The divide between the SEC’s current regulatory approach to crypto and the desire for more precise guidelines became evident throughout the hearing. 

While some commissioners believe that statutory definitions from Congress are necessary, others argue that the SEC could utilize its existing authority more effectively to provide clarity for the crypto industry.

The SEC’s written and oral testimony centered on topics like cybersecurity incidents, conflicts of interest in securitization markets, and enhancements to public reporting and data transparency.

However, the agency’s omission of any direct references to cryptocurrencies in its testimony highlights the tension between its priorities and the concerns of lawmakers and industry participants seeking regulatory clarity in the rapidly evolving digital asset landscape.

The call for clear rules of the road and robust consumer protections remains a pressing issue, with stakeholders advocating for a regulatory framework that fosters innovation while safeguarding investor interests.

HOW PARAGUAY IS REDEFINING BLOCKCHAIN SOVEREIGNTY WITH LEGALEDGER – NO MORE GAS FEES!

▪️Paraguay launches Blockchain Chamber, promoting sovereign blockchain innovation for government, finance, commerce, civil, and military applications.

▪️Legaledger, built on Hyperledger and Besu, eliminates transaction gas fees for military and legal operations under law 6.822/21.

Paraguay has taken a significant step in the blockchain arena by establishing the Paraguayan Blockchain Chamber, aimed at fostering financial innovation on a sovereign blockchain.

The chamber’s spokesperson and director, Ricardo Prieto, discussed the initiative’s main focus: developing blockchain solutions for both public and private sectors, including government, finance, commerce, civil, and military ecosystems.

The project, named Legaledger, is built on the Hyperledger and Besu platforms, marking it as the world’s first third-generation blockchain network with national sovereignty. It uniquely features an exemption from gas fees for transactions involving military and legal security, in accordance with Paraguayan digital law 6.822/21.

Prieto highlighted Legaledger’s innovative fractal architecture design, which is the first to employ a dual blockchain mechanism (Hyperledger Fabric + Besu) and has the capability for regional and global replication.

“The Blockchain Network has an innovative fractal architecture design, the first with a double blockchain mechanism (Hyperledger Fabric + Besu) and regional and global replication capacity, thus achieving frictionless interoperability between all countries,” the director explained.

This design facilitates seamless interoperability across countries. He referenced a recent report from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) on the risks and uncertainties associated with Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), emphasizing the challenge banks face in conducting due diligence and supervision due to reliance on third-party blockchains. The BIS report suggests operating with sovereign blockchain networks to provide legal security within a country.

In 2021, Paraguay enacted Law No. 6.822/21 concerning trust services for electronic transactions, electronic documents, and transferable electronic documents – referred to as the Second Floor Digital Law.

“With the Law, we began to design Legaledger (powered by Hyperledger Foundation + HSM), the first Blockchain Network with national sovereignty, without gas payments, with legal security and with the ability to be replicated in any country in the world with perfect interoperability. Frictions between all participating countries.”

With this law, Paraguay began designing Legaledger, powered by the Hyperledger Foundation and HSM, creating the first blockchain network with national sovereignty that does not require gas payments, offers legal security, and can replicate in any country with perfect interoperability.

“The idea of creating a third-generation blockchain network arises from the need to offer legal security to procedures and transactions carried out on blockchain, something that is practically impossible in global blockchain networks”.

Another benefit of this initiative is the digitization of governmental, civil, and military judicial procedures, and the tokenization of financial assets and real-world assets (RWA), all with absolute legal security. This effectively eliminates identity theft and fraud risks, such as rug pulls, according to Prieto.

Challenges have since the project’s inception in 2021, particularly in tokenizing real estate assets. Discussions with legal advisors revealed potential fraud risks in the approach, highlighting the distinction between possession and ownership.

The public registry, which involves notaries and others to secure transactions on paper, ensures legal security for property ownership, which is not guaranteed by public blockchain tokens alone.

Legaledger is designed to be fractal and can be implemented across companies, conglomerates, states, and countries, maintaining interoperability for what is called sequencing, publishing procedures, or transactions, including international operations.

“No country in the world has the digital law that Paraguay has (Law 6.822/21), however, in many countries apartments and other physical assets were being tokenized that did not actually connect real rights with the tokens created on public blockchains, as we know this is very easy.

Each country has its Public Property Registry Agency, in which notaries and others participate, to control the operation that is carried out on paper, to provide legal security regarding the ownership of the object in question.”

To perfect tokenization with legal security, a unique digital law is necessary to allow digitalization of rights over tangible and intangible assets on a sovereign Blockchain network. 

The resulting tokens must be managed and safeguarded within the network and can be bought, sold, or transferred digitally to anyone or any institution worldwide with legal certainty and without repudiation.

Ultimately, countries implementing a sovereign blockchain network with legal security will become an international digital jurisdiction, meaning the country will achieve a high level of procedure digitalization and asset tokenization within a legal framework and application scope without repudiation, concluded the spokesperson for the Paraguayan Blockchain Chamber.

Clare:  The Governor of the Central Bank announces the imminent adoption of the phone in completing banking operations in digital banks

9/25/2024  Baghdad - WAA - Wissam Al-Mulla

The Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, announced today, Wednesday, the success of the digital transformation and electronic payment plan in Iraq, while stressing that digital banks will allow citizens to manage their operations through the phone.

Al-Alaq told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "Through the data that was discussed in the electronic payment conference, it clearly indicates the success of the digital transformation and electronic payment plan, and the percentage rose from 20 percent a few years ago to 48.5 percent, which is double the percentage," indicating that "this percentage came during the last two years." 

He added that "there is a major transformation supported by a national strategy and a serious and direct government direction by the Prime Minister and giving the issue the momentum it deserves by providing the necessary infrastructure," explaining that "Iraq now has advanced infrastructure to accommodate electronic payment tools and financial services of all kinds so that we can soon move to the transformation to digital banks in which the mobile phone will be the one leading the various operations.

This facilitates services for citizens, reduces the chances of fraud, reduces the chances of corruption, and provides important data at the national level on the nature of transactions, their content, and oversight of them and the compliance achieved through the large system." 

He continued: “Many requests have been submitted to the Central Bank to establish digital banks, and this is evidence that the trend is receiving the attention of investors. There are more than 60 requests that the Central Bank is currently examining carefully to be able to meet the requirements and conditions that achieve success, because we must ensure that the first step in digital banks is a successful step,” stressing “the conditions, controls and rules that digital banks operate under, but they represent a major shift in banking services, and through them, citizens will be able to manage their operations through mobile phones.”

He pointed out that "a large percentage of Iraqis own mobile phones, and this is an advantage that we must invest in to carry out this task."   LINK
