MZ: “Just now spoke to someone at Wells Fargo and they said they know about the new money but its not quite time to release it yet”

MZ: “Spoke to the teller at my Chase bank this morning in Arizona. I asked if this branch would be a RV center….He didn’t know what I meant so I told him about the dinar. He said he was from Iraq and still has family there. He told me that Iraq was in a Renaissance and is a very prosperous nation. He also confirmed Iraq has gone to a new digital banking system. “

MZ: Iraq dinar will not keep that low value long.

Member: Friend in a small credit union in Oregon, went in and asked about the new currency. She said they had it and was shocked he knew about it.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE NEWS: SEC’S FORM C FILING SPARKS BACKDATING CONTROVERSY; HERE’S THE TRUTH

Today, the SEC shared specific details about its appeal regarding the Ripple XRP lawsuit. For the past two weeks, it was clear the SEC intended to appeal, and they have now filed a Form C to outline their arguments.

What the SEC is Appealing
The SEC is focusing on Ripple’s programmatic sales of XRP on digital asset trading platforms. They are also bringing Ripple executives Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen back into the case, alleging that they aided and abetted these sales.

However, it’s important to note that the SEC is not appealing the court’s ruling that XRP is not a security, nor are they contesting the $125 million monetary penalty imposed on Ripple.

The fact that the SEC isn’t appealing the classification of XRP as a non-security is seen as a positive development for the market. However, there are still challenges ahead for Ripple and its executives.

Market Reaction and Legal Concerns
Following the SEC’s filing, some pro-XRP lawyers expressed concerns on social media, claiming that the SEC backdated their filing. They raised questions about the timing and ethics of the filing.

However, former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel pointed out that the SEC downloaded supporting documents just before submitting the filing, which raises suspicions about whether they were fully aware of their obligations.

Attorney Bill Morgan questioned the reasoning behind waiting a day to submit the documents and suggested that if they prepared the filing on the 17th but dated it the 16th, it could indicate ethical issues. Marc agreed, questioning why they would download the documents on the 16th and delay submitting them. While there could be a filing error, there’s currently no evidence to support that theory.

Marc replied and said, “Backdating is bad. I don’t think anyone would disagree (I spent several years at the SEC on backdated stock option cases). But we can speculate all sorts of things which would be bad without benefit of evidence.”

BRICS ADVANCES PLANS FOR ‘MULTICURRENCY SYSTEM,’ AIMING TO DETHRONE US DOLLAR

▪️Russia is proposing the use of multicurrency payments in BRICS to minimize the dependence upon the US dollar.

▪️Russia proposes using blockchain to minimize expenses and dependence on the conventional banking sector.

Russia has called on BRICS nations to establish a new cross-border payments network as part of a broader strategy to reduce dependency on the global financial system, including SWIFT. The proposal is to enhance the economic relations within the bloc and to promote intra-bloc dealings in local currencies.

This comes in the wake of several actions taken by the US and its allies, including closing major Russian banks from the Society for World Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) and seizing Russia’s foreign assets. It is worth noting that Russia has been subjected to several severe sanctions since it launched the operation in Ukraine in February 2022.

BRICS Multicurrency System Proposal

The Russian Finance Ministry, the Bank of Russia and the Moscow-based Yakov & Partners have submitted a report on the ‘multicurrency system’. The proposed system would shield the BRICS countries from outside threats, including sanctions that have extraterritorial jurisdiction.

The report stresses that US foreign policy is not always congruent with other countries’ interests, and this is why the country needs financial independence.

The network would rely on a group of banks with international capabilities that would be able to operate in the local currencies of the BRICS countries. Further, it has been suggested that the BRICS member central banks should establish direct links to minimize the impacts of external financial pressures.

The plan also includes the establishment of new trading platforms for major goods, including oil, gas, grains, and gold, to boost trade within the BRICS countries. These measures are considered to be a broader plan for decreasing the use of the U.S. dollar in international transactions.

BRICS Members Prepare for Upcoming Summit in Kazan
While Russia has been trying to decrease its exposure to the US dollar, other members of the BRICS have remained connected to the dollar-dominated financial system. According to the Brookings Institution, the USD was used in 58% of cross-border transactions that did not involve the euro in 2022, and 54% of trade finance instruments were denominated in USD.

The release of Russia’s report comes amid preparation for the BRICS summit scheduled to take place in Kazan from the 22nd to the 24th of October. The summit will be led by President Vladimir Putin after the recent addition of Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, and Egypt into the bloc.

Russia also suggested in the report that DLT could further improve cross-border payments within the BRICS framework. The system would use tokens for settlements and be a multinational platform. The report notes that the major advantage of DLT is the ability to reduce credit risk.

In addition, the use of DLT can also decrease the time and the costs in the process since there are no need for correspondent banks and do compliance checks. The authors estimate that if BRICS countries use this system for half of their cross-border transactions, the total annual cost could be reduced by $15 billion.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

IRELAND DRAFTING URGENT CRYPTO LAWS BEFORE EU MONEY-LAUNDERING RULES

Ireland is preparing to draft “urgent” cryptocurrency regulations ahead of upcoming European Union Anti-Money Laundering and terror financing standards.

Ireland’s Finance Minister, Jack Chambers, told the cabinet that urgent legislation would be drafted to update crypto regulations before the EU laws take effect on Dec. 30, the Irish Examiner reported on Oct. 16.

No details were shared about the new crypto legislation or when it might come into force.

The EU’s “Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Act” will enhance the powers of financial intelligence units, enabling them to suspend transactions.

It will also impose stricter reporting requirements for crypto exchanges and a 10,000 euro ($10,850) limit on cash payments. There will be more stringent monitoring of large transactions and new reporting requirements for high-value transactions.

The legislative framework covers a range of areas posing risks, including crypto assets and crowdfunding. It also “complements other regulations such as Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA),” the European Commission noted earlier.

In September, Derville Rowland, deputy governor of the Central Bank of Ireland, said that the country aims to stay at the forefront of safe innovation through MiCA.

She said that crypto regulations were essential for Europe to become a global leader in adapting and adopting new technologies.

The EU’s MiCA regulations — separate from its AML/CFT act — came into effect in June 2023.

“It is important that Ireland, as a small, open economy with a thriving financial services industry, is an active participant in preventing its financial system from being used for money laundering and terrorist financing purposes,” said the Central Bank of Ireland.

As of July, the Central Bank of Ireland had approved 15 virtual asset service providers. These included Gemini, Ripple, Paysafe, MoonPay and Coinbase, which agreed to delist non-compliant stablecoins from its European platform.

XLM NEWS: PAXOS ANNOUNCES STELLAR NETWORK INTEGRATION TO DRIVE STABLECOIN ADOPTION

▪️Paxos’ integration with the Stellar network aims to accelerate institutional adoption of stablecoins, enhancing global access to digital dollars.

▪️The partnership highlights Paxos’ focus on regulatory compliance and trust, positioning both companies to drive stablecoin adoption in global financial markets.

Paxos, known for its highly regulated tokenization platform, continues to build trust and credibility by complying with financial regulations in every region it operates.

 Following a recent CNF update on leading stablecoin issuers embracing an international set of stablecoin standards, Paxos announced its integration with the Stellar network at the Meridian 2024 conference, marking a significant step in expanding its tokenization platform.

Stellar is a well-regarded open-source blockchain used for payments and remittances. In a press release, Paxos CEO and Co-Founder Charles Cascarilla stressed:

We are excited to partner with Stellar to make trustworthy stablecoins more accessible to global institutions. Stablecoins will revolutionize the global financial system and open access to people around the world. This collaboration will accelerate the adoption of stablecoins by users worldwide.

This partnership is expected to facilitate institutional adoption of stablecoins, which are issued by properly regulated institutions. As stablecoins gain traction, they are becoming crucial for enterprises and institutions looking to engage with more open and secure digital economies.

The collaboration with Stellar highlights Paxos’ commitment to ensuring its tokenized assets meet global financial regulations and enhance stablecoin accessibility.

Paxos CEO and Co-Founder Charles Cascarilla expressed excitement about the partnership, stating that stablecoins are poised to revolutionize the global financial system.

By making stablecoins more accessible through Stellar’s low-cost and high-speed infrastructure, Paxos aims to accelerate institutional adoption of digital dollars globally.

Stellar’s CEO, Denelle Dixon, emphasized the importance of Paxos as a regulated financial institution in advancing tokenized assets on the Stellar network, praising its ability to foster trust and credibility.

Paxos’ Regulatory Strength and Global Partnerships
With a strong focus on regulated offerings, Paxos supports global enterprises and institutions, including major partners like PayPal, Mastercard, and Nubank.

The company’s infrastructure enables these partners to tokenize, custody, and trade digital assets seamlessly, contributing to a more efficient global financial system.

By late 2024, Paxos plans to bring assets to the Stellar network, further strengthening its position in the digital economy. Paxos’ commitment to trust and transparency, along with its regulatory credentials, underscores its role as a leader in blockchain-based financial infrastructure.

CHEVRON OVERTURN UNLIKELY TO IMPACT SEC'S CONDUCT — RIPPLE CLO

In 2023 alone, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed over 20 lawsuits against firms and individuals in the crypto industry.

Ripple’s chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, believes that the June 2024 overturn of Chevron USA Inc. vs. Natural Resources Defense Council by the United States Supreme Court will have little impact on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) strategy of pursuing crypto compliance through enforcement.

In an interview with Cointelegraph’s Turner Wright, Alderoty stressed that only a leadership change would cause a shift in SEC posturing.

“I think under this leadership, the SEC has done tremendous institutional damage to what was once a very well-respected agency,” the Ripple CLO said.

Alderoty also stated that the SEC’s continued litigation against the crypto industry — including the recent appeal in the Ripple lawsuit — was deliberate and meant to create maximum confusion among industry participants:

"This SEC, under this leadership, I don't think they much care if they're right or wrong as a matter of law. I think their goal is through a massive wave of enforcement actions — and now on appeal — to keep a cloud of legal uncertainty over the industry."

“I think ultimately they will be proven wrong again. I don’t think they’re bothered by that,” Alderoty said, before characterizing the SEC’s aggressive stance toward the crypto sector as “Very disturbing.”

Loper Bright vs. Raimondo — overturning 40 years of precedent
The 40-year precedent set by the Chevron case in 1984 was overturned by the United States Supreme Court in the Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo case on June 28, 2024.

The 1984 decision paved the way for courts to defer to regulatory agencies and their internal — often arbitrary — methods of policy enforcement.

For the nascent crypto industry, this meant that startups faced prohibitive regulatory demands from multiple government regulators that choked off innovation and discouraged investment, especially from institutional firms.

In July 2024, Uniswap Labs cited the Chevron overturn as an argument against the SEC’s proposed expansion of what legally qualifies as an “exchange” under the Exchange Act of 1934 — a regulatory change that would bring decentralized finance projects under the purview of the SEC.

A Real Asset With A 12% Dividend Yield

A Real Asset With A 12% Dividend Yield

Notes From the Field By James Hickman / Simon Black October 17, 2024

It’s very hard to overstate just how obliterated the global economy was following World War II. Europe was in ruins, with many major cities having been bombed back into the Stone Age. Japan had literally been nuked.

And just about every economy around the world that still had any manufacturing capacity was pumping out guns, bullets, and bombs; there was hardly any economic activity taking place that wasn’t somehow tied to the war.

It was sort of like Covid— the regular economy was shut down... and governments discovered very quickly that they couldn’t simply turn the global economic machine back on with the flip of a switch.

The transition from obliterated war economy to booming peacetime economy was an incredibly difficult one. So, in 1948, the United States (which was among the only developed major economies still standing) launched the Marshall Plan.

The idea was simple: America would shovel $13 billion (which, as a percentage of global GDP, is equivalent to around $5 trillion today) around the world to facilitate trade and economic edevelopment.

But alongside the financial aid came a promise: the US Navy would protect the seas, ensuring that the global flow of goods could continue unimpeded.

For decades, American naval dominance guaranteed a level of safety and stability that allowed international trade to thrive. Shipping routes were secured, costs remained low, and commerce could flow relatively uninterrupted across the world's oceans.

The post-WWII era ushered in an unprecedented period of cooperation and prosperity, making international trade easier, faster, and more profitable.

But those calm seas are growing choppy again.

The war between Russia and Ukraine, for example, has drastically altered oil trade routes. Russian crude oil, which once flowed easily into Europe, is now making much longer journeys to places like India, where it’s refined and then sent back to Europe as diesel.

This convoluted, inefficient process is adding enormous strain and cost to shipping routes, increasing the “ton miles”, i.e. each mile that a ton of product must travel.

But this is just one example. In the Middle East, the Houthis in Yemen have launched attacks on vessels transiting the Red Sea, creating a new chokepoint in global shipping lanes. Pirates have increased their attacks in the area as well.

Many oil tankers are now rerouting entirely around the southern tip of Africa to avoid the Suez Canal, extending travel times significantly.

The further oil must go, the more tankers are needed. The problem is, these changes took place quite rapidly, yet shipbuilding is not an industry that can quickly respond to that demand.

Shipbuilding is a slow, capital-intensive process. And after years of underinvestment, there are hardly any new tankers being built. Shipyards are busy constructing other types of vessels, but the number of new oil tankers remains near record lows.

At the same time, a large chunk of the existing global fleet is over 20 years old, nearing the end of its lifespan. This imbalance is going to worsen before it gets better, leading to a serious shortage in oil tankers at the exact moment when the world needs them most.

The combination of more ton miles and fewer ships is creating a perfect storm in the tanker market.

This imbalance is inflationary. Both shipping and energy are core components of nearly every supply chain. Higher costs to transport oil mean higher costs for just about everything else we buy—from groceries to manufactured goods.

Climate fanatics can pretend that the world is ready to run off wind and solar, which is why they suppress investment in everything from new drilling, to transport ships. But the reality is, oil is still the most important energy source on earth.

Energy is a prime example of a real asset— a critical resource that keeps the economy going, and cannot be created out of thin air by governments and central banks.

And the shipping companies which transport that oil are real asset businesses... which is why we have been following this industry closely.

One company in particular that we told subscribers about in our premium investment research stands out as being uniquely positioned to capitalize on these trends.

It has a fleet of 82 ships, with an average age of just over 10 years, meaning they have plenty of life left. They can also continue to benefit from the shortage of ships as long as it lasts— which we know from the global orderbook for new ships, will be several years at least.

But this also means the company won’t have to spend huge amounts of capital in the near future buying new ships. And already, it carries little debt... yet still pays around a 12% dividend.

Again, in addition to the dynamics of debt, deficits, and dysfunction in the US government which promise to increase inflation, global conflict is also inflationary.

This is another example of the real asset companies not only poised to do well in an inflationary world, but that are also trading near historic low valuations.

This shipping company, for example, is trading at a P/E (price to earnings) ratio of just 4.44.

While we can wish all we want that the world was not becoming less cooperative, that won’t change the reality. Better to position ourselves to benefit under these conditions, by investing in companies that actually gain from that disorder.

We’ve talked a lot about this same dynamic when it comes to gold, and why central banks around the world are turning to it, and away from the US dollar.

We also talked about it recently in relation to how the prices of certain critical metals have been artificially suppressed by climate fanatics who think the days of gas vehicles are past. They are wrong.

The best way to fight back, while inflation-proofing your future, is to invest in critical real asset companies at historic lows.

STABLECOIN ADOPTION IN U.S. IS LOW: CHAINALYSIS REPORTS

According to a Chainalysis report, stablecoin adoption in the U.S. has slowed, with regulatory uncertainty driving more transactions to global markets.

Stablecoin adoption in the U.S. has slowed in 2024 compared to global markets, according to an October 17 report by blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis.

The report highlights that while stablecoin use has surged internationally, U.S. markets have seen a decline in their share of stablecoin transactions, dropping from roughly 50% in 2023 to below 40% in 2024.

Global Stablecoin Adoption Outpaces the U.S.
As per the report, this slowdown in adopting stablecoin in the U.S. is largely attributed to the lack of regulatory clarity.

Chainalysis noted that, in contrast to other regions, the U.S. has failed to make significant regulatory progress in the digital assets space, particularly stablecoins, contributing to a stagnation in adoption.

While the U.S. stablecoin market is experiencing a relative decline, global markets have witnessed increased adoption.

More transactions are now taking place on non-U.S.-regulated exchanges, reflecting a growing demand for stablecoins in emerging markets.

This surge is driven by stablecoins’ ability to offer a stable store of value in regions with volatile currencies and limited access to U.S. dollars.

Populations in these areas use stablecoins to access U.S. dollar stability without needing traditional banking systems.

U.S. Regulatory Uncertainty and Global Competition
Chainalysis also emphasized that regulatory uncertainty in the U.S. contributes substantially to the country’s slowdown in stablecoin adoption.

Unlike regions such as the European Union, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and Hong Kong, which have enacted clear regulatory frameworks encouraging digital asset growth, the U.S. struggles to regulate stablecoins.

Additionally, the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), implemented in June 2024, has provided much-needed clarity for stablecoins in Europe, attracting projects and fostering adoption.

Meanwhile, Circle warns that without clear guidance, the U.S. could forfeit its influence in the stablecoin market and lose its leadership in dollar-based on-chain commerce.

While the U.S. lags in regulatory progress, there have been steps toward developing a stablecoin framework.

In July 2023, the House Financial Services Committee advanced a stablecoin bill aimed at providing regulatory clarity.

Circle remains optimistic, hoping that Congress will pass the bill to establish clear anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions obligations for stablecoin issuers, ensuring the U.S. retains its role in the global stablecoin market.

RIPPLE NEWS: CEO BRAD GARLINGHOUSE CONSIDERS IPO PATH, SAYS ‘SEC IS NOT OUR FRIEND’

At the recent Swell conference, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse addressed the possibility of the company going public. When asked about a potential IPO in light of regulatory clarity expected next year, he clarified, “An IPO has not been a high priority for us. Part of that is because the SEC is not our friend.”

In an interview with Thinking Crypto, he said that most companies seek to go public primarily to raise capital. In contrast, Ripple has maintained a strong financial position, allowing it to invest in various projects and make acquisitions without the immediate need for public funding. “We have a hostile SEC and a company that doesn’t need to raise capital,” he said, explaining why an IPO is not at the forefront of Ripple’s agenda.

Garlinghouse did acknowledge the importance of ensuring liquidity for shareholders and maintaining appropriate company valuation. However, he reiterated that prioritizing an IPO is not urgent, especially given the time-consuming process it entails. “Even when I think about it, usually when a company says they’re going public, it still takes twelve plus months,” he said, adding that regulatory conditions must improve first.

The Crypto Market Outlook for 2025
When discussing the broader crypto market as it heads into 2025, Garlinghouse expressed positivity despite the challenges the industry has faced.

Garlinghouse pointed out that the U.S. government’s previously hostile stance towards crypto is beginning to shift, especially with major players like BlackRock entering the space. He explained the importance of this development, as it indicates increasing institutional interest in blockchain technology and its potential applications.

While acknowledging the difficulty of making accurate predictions about crypto prices, Garlinghouse remains optimistic about the next year or two, suggesting that positive changes may occur sooner rather than later.

A Real Asset With A 12% Dividend Yield

A Real Asset With A 12% Dividend Yield

Notes From the Field By James Hickman / Simon Black October 17, 2024

It’s very hard to overstate just how obliterated the global economy was following World War II. Europe was in ruins, with many major cities having been bombed back into the Stone Age. Japan had literally been nuked.

And just about every economy around the world that still had any manufacturing capacity was pumping out guns, bullets, and bombs; there was hardly any economic activity taking place that wasn’t somehow tied to the war.

It was sort of like Covid— the regular economy was shut down... and governments discovered very quickly that they couldn’t simply turn the global economic machine back on with the flip of a switch.

The transition from obliterated war economy to booming peacetime economy was an incredibly difficult one. So, in 1948, the United States (which was among the only developed major economies still standing) launched the Marshall Plan.

The idea was simple: America would shovel $13 billion (which, as a percentage of global GDP, is equivalent to around $5 trillion today) around the world to facilitate trade and economic edevelopment.

But alongside the financial aid came a promise: the US Navy would protect the seas, ensuring that the global flow of goods could continue unimpeded.

For decades, American naval dominance guaranteed a level of safety and stability that allowed international trade to thrive. Shipping routes were secured, costs remained low, and commerce could flow relatively uninterrupted across the world's oceans.

MikeCristo8: This will Reset Oil Back onto a Gold Standard

10-16-2024

The whole point of the BRICS alliance is to stabilize the Middle East oil markets away from the dollar SWIFT payment systems.

This involves having a new currency to settle your Middle East oil trade.

BRICS is likely to introduce a *small basket of currencies backed by oil and gold.

That will reset oil back onto a gold standard.

Doesn’t everyone realize that the liquidity problems faced by banks is.

Because the dollar no longer settles the oil trade.

China is devaluing the yuan against gold to get oil onto a gold standard.

Citigroup Sounds The Alarm On TOTAL Economic Collapse, Chase Bank Warning

Atlantis Report:  10-17-2024

As we end 2024, the ominous tune of a banking collapse looms large over the once-mighty Citigroup.

From its inception in the late 20th century, where it pioneered modern banking services, automatic teller machines, and credit card offerings, Citigroup has witnessed a relentless downward spiral since the housing crisis and financial meltdown of 2008.

Now, a collapse is nearer than ever before. Citigroup, one of the world's leading banks, has made a shocking announcement about the looming threat of a complete economic collapse.

 This alarming forecast comes amidst growing concerns over the state of the labor market, which has shown signs of deterioration that could have far-reaching consequences for the nation's economic stability. The warning has prompted governments, corporations, and individuals to prepare for an unprecedented economic calamity.

Before 2007, Citigroup stood prominently among the elite financial institutions in the United States, consistently delivering robust returns to its steadfast shareholders through both appreciating share prices and generous dividends.

 However, the culmination of the housing boom and the subsequent financial crisis pushed Citigroup to the brink, necessitating government intervention to navigate the resulting losses. Subsequently, Citigroup's stock struggled to regain its pre-crisis momentum, failing to recover from the setbacks of 2008.

Chase Bank and Citigroup have raised red flags, signaling a deep-seated issue within the banking sector. Nine percent of all bank branches in the U.S. have shut down since 2017. Earlier in the month, Citigroup informed the majority of its employees that they could work remotely for the final two weeks of December.

Workers are allowed to log in remotely from any location within their country of employment from Monday to December 29, a Friday, marking this week as the last in-person experience for many staff members this year, according to sources familiar with the situation.

 In contrast to last year when the perk was introduced, employees are now apprehensive about CEO Jane Fraser's comprehensive corporate reorganization, with some expressing concerns about the potential existence of their jobs next year. Citigroup has indicated that Fraser's assessment of the third-largest U.S. bank by assets will be concluded by the end of 2024.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Brazil Pushes BRICS to Shift From US Dollar, Advocating National Currencies in Global Trade

Brazil pushes for a shift away from the U.S. dollar within the BRICS alliance, advocating for more use of national currencies in trade among member countries.

As the group expands, discussions on alternative payment platforms are gaining momentum ahead of the BRICS summit in Kazan. Brazil aims to advance this initiative during its 2025 chairmanship, reflecting growing momentum among member states.

Brazil Advocates for National Currencies in BRICS Trade
Brazil’s Foreign Affairs Secretary for Asia and the Pacific, Eduardo Paes Saboia, stated on Tuesday that Brazil is advocating for a greater use of national currencies among BRICS member countries in global trade, aiming to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar. 

Originally established in 2006 by Brazil, Russia, India, and China, the BRICS group was later joined by South Africa in 2011. In 2024, BRICS expanded further with the inclusion of Egypt, Iran, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, and Ethiopia as full members.

Speaking to reporters, Saboia noted that discussions about this shift are already underway, stating that the issue of reducing the reliance on the U.S. dollar “has already been considered at meetings of finance ministers and heads of central banks” of the BRICS nations. Expressing optimism about the upcoming BRICS summit in Kazan, he was quoted by Tass publication as stating:

I hope that those discussions will be reflected in a certain way in the declaration in Kazan.

Saboia also confirmed that Brazil would continue pushing for an increased share of national currencies in trade among BRICS members during its chairmanship in 2025.

This initiative aligns with comments made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in September, who mentioned that a report on alternative payment platforms for BRICS nations would be prepared for the Kazan summit. Lavrov said the report would explore “options for creating alternative payment platforms for settlements between BRICS member countries.”

Additionally, Dilma Rousseff, the president of the BRICS New Development Bank, revealed in October that the financial institution intends to “use national currencies for investing in the private sector of the economies of member states.” The Kazan summit will be a key event during Russia’s chairmanship of the organization, which has planned over 200 events this year.

STELLAR ECOSYSTEM IMPLEMENTS BLOCKAID SECURITY FEATURES

Stellar’s Lobstr and Freighter Wallets are the first to receive the new Blockaid security features

Blockchain security firm Blockaid announced the integration of its advanced Onchain Detection and Response (ODR) technology on the Stellar blockchain, starting with the Lobstr and Freighter wallet applications.

According to an Oct. 17 announcement viewed by Cointelegraph, the strategic partnership will bring real-time threat monitoring and rapid response capabilities to the wallets, with further integrations planned.

Blockaid’s Web3 services
Blockaid describes its services as being somewhat like an antivirus software for Web3 decentralized applications.

Ido Ben Natan, CEO of Blockaid, told Cointelegraph that the first wave of enhancements “alerts users whenever they interact with a dangerous transaction, DApp, or token.” He added that “by flagging malicious interactions, we’re protecting millions of users from scams and hacks.”

According to the company’s announcement:

“Blockaid’s Web3 security technology, trusted by Coinbase, Stellar, and Metamask, has scanned over 4.5 billion transactions, prevented more than 100 million attacks, and defended against potential losses exceeding $4 billion.”

In just the first half of 2024 alone, Blockaid inked deals with a number of blockchain firms in the industry including a Coinbase Wallet integration in March, and partnerships with 1inch and Avalanche Core Wallet in June.

Stellar
Stellar bills itself as a decentralized open-source blockchain platform for decentralized finance (DeFi), assets, and payments. Its primary token, XLM, has a market capitalization of $2.8 billion as of Oct. 16.

It’s purported to be faster and more efficient than more popular blockchain platforms such as Bitcoin thanks to its Federated Byzantine Agreement (FBA) algorithm, which handles consensus through a streamlined protocol.

As Cointelegraph reported in August, France-based fintech company Next Generation and Ireland-based electronic money institution (EMI) Decta announced a plan to reintroduce a euro-pegged stablecoin, EURT, on the Stellar blockchain.

The launch of EURT signifies a period of perceived relief from regulatory uncertainty for cryptocurrency and blockchain firms operating in the European Union. By all accounts, the stablecoin market appears to be surging under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation and increasing legal clarity.

Tishwash:  Washington: We support Iraq’s economic reform agenda, updating the budget and enhancing transparency 

The United States affirmed, today, Thursday, its commitment to supporting the economic reform agenda in Iraq, including updating the budget and enhancing transparency.

“I was pleased to meet with Finance Minister Taif Sami Mohammed,” said US Ambassador to Baghdad Alina Romanowski. “Economic diplomacy is a fundamental pillar of the comprehensive US-Iraq partnership.”

She added, "The US government is committed to supporting Iraq's economic reform agenda, including updating the budget and enhancing transparency."   link

*************

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani: The government has regained the confidence of citizens

“There is no stopping in implementing projects and following up on them everywhere, and local governments are the second arm of the state after the ministries.” This is the approach that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani relied on, who confirmed that the important achievement that was made is that his government was able to restore the confidence of citizens, especially in the service aspect, pledging to continue this.

The Prime Minister visited Diyala Governorate yesterday, Wednesday, and opened the (Baghdad-Khalis Road) with a length of (60) km, round trip, and several other projects, while he announced a package of new projects.

Al-Sudani said during the visit: "Diyala represents a miniature Iraq with its national diversity and has made many sacrifices, and it is shameful to talk about infrastructure in the year (2024)." He explained that "following up on important projects through field visits to the governorates is an approach followed to determine the implementation rates and the most important problems and obstacles," stressing "the commitment to the principle of working in the spirit of one team between the federal government and local governments, which are the second executive arm of the government after the ministries."

The Prime Minister stressed that "the government has regained citizens' confidence, which is an important achievement that must continue, especially in the service sector," noting that "infrastructure projects are a priority for the government, and it is imperative to complete them, especially the stalled ones."

Tishwash:  ILO: Iraqi government has developed programmes to help facilitate transition to formal economy

The International Labor Organization confirmed on Wednesday that the current government has developed programs and policies that help facilitate the transition to the formal economy, while indicating that informal work represents a crucial component despite its problems in economic activity.

The International Labor Organization's country coordinator, Maha Kattaa, said at the national conference on informal work and paths towards decent work in Iraq, which was followed by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "this conference addresses a very important and urgent issue, which is the issue of the informal economy and informal work," noting that "the informal economy refers to the group of economic activities carried out by workers and economic units that are not covered either in law or in practice by formal arrangements or may be covered sufficiently."

“Informal or irregular work is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon that includes a variety of activities, transactions and individuals who work outside formal businesses but sometimes also work within formal businesses,” she added, noting that “informal work represents a crucial but somewhat problematic component of economic activity while the informal sector can be a mechanism for addressing and alleviating poverty.”

She explained that "most of the poor work in the informal sector, so we should not look at this sector as unfair, but also as a sector that absorbs the poor and attracts individuals with low skills and low educational attainment. Therefore, the issue of looking at this sector is very important because it absorbs this number of workers."

The sector explained that "the problem lies in crises and shocks when they occur in any country, including the recent crisis with Corona. Those who were affected more than the workers are the workers in the informal sector because there was no mechanism to reach these workers. On the contrary, the workers who work in the organized sector have records that show where these workers are located."

She continued: “It was difficult to provide some services to workers in the informal sector, so we sometimes call them invisible workers, because it is really difficult to reach them, in addition to companies and institutions that operate in an informal manner, even in crises, there is a difficulty in how to reach these companies to help them in most countries, and during the Corona crisis, aid packages were provided to companies, but we did not reach companies and institutions if they were not regular.”

She pointed out that "informal work is not limited to Iraq, it exists all over the world, but the percentage of informal work or informal economy varies from one country to another," indicating that "the International Labor Organization adopted in 2015 a recommendation called the recommendation for the transition from the informal economy to the formal economy, and recommendation number 204 approved guiding policies for all countries that wish to complete the transition process to help them in this process."

She pointed out that "there can be flexibility to absorb shocks while enhancing the creation of decent job opportunities, and we must look at the Iraqi economy with the structure of the economy that relies heavily on oil and contributes significantly to exports, and that more than 90% of exports in Iraq come from oil, and the revenues that come from oil are what contribute to the government budget and also to the gross domestic product," noting that "the oil sector does not employ large numbers, so we notice that the gross domestic product comes from the resource, and the labor comes from another source."

She stated that "small, medium and large companies play a role in creating job opportunities in the construction, services and manufacturing sectors, which create job opportunities in Iraq," explaining that "women work more in the informal sector in most countries of the world, while in our Arab region, men work more in the informal sector for several reasons, the most important of which is that women in our Arab region and also in Iraq prefer to work either in the public sector or in the organized private sector, as job opportunities in the informal sector do not attract women. This issue is attributed to the advantages offered by the informal private sector, because it is an unprotected sector that does not provide decent job opportunities or social security. There is no protection for workers, so women are reluctant to enter the labor market, especially in the sectors."

“We commend the current government for taking major measures and procedures to facilitate the transition through new legislation, including the Social Security Law and the amendment of the Labor Law in 2015, all of which helped move forward with the transition process,” she added, “There are current material policies, plans and programs being implemented by the government, including the recently launched National Development Plan, work to update the private sector development strategy, the policy of regulating small projects and developing small and medium enterprises, and others. All of these programs and policies will also help facilitate the transition process.”  link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE AND INTERNATIONAL RESCUE COMMITTEE INNOVATE CASH RELIEF AND CROSS-BORDER AID WITH XRP LEDGER

▪️Ripple Labs has committed a multi-year $1 million aid to the IRC.
▪️The partnership will seek to leverage XRP Ledger and RLUSD in scaling aid delivery.

American blockchain payments firm Ripple Labs Inc. announced that it recently partnered with the International Rescue Committee (IRC). The partnership aims to explore how Ripple’s affiliated XRP Ledger (XRPL) and its pending RLUSD stablecoin can facilitate humanitarian aid.

Through the partnership, Ripple will help vulnerable communities access critical resources quickly and securely. While Ripple brings its full suite of payment solutions, IRC will contribute its years of experience in humanitarian relief.

Ripple Pledges Commitment to Community-Focused Initiatives
IRC is one of the world’s most trusted humanitarian organizations, assisting individuals affected by crises to survive, recover, and rebuild their lives. To support IRC’s humanitarian efforts, Ripple has pledged a $1 million multi-year commitment to help the organization.

This financing highlights their collaborative efforts to investigate blockchain technology in cross-border funds transfers and cash relief initiatives. The partnership also explores Ripple’s global payments network and open-sourced solutions created on XRP Ledger.

The partnership will see Ripple and IRC combine their expertise to transform aid delivery at scale. Ripple is already an established leader in compliant blockchain and cross-border payments. On the other hand, IRC has delivered humanitarian aid across over 40 countries, releasing over $70 million in cash and relief vouchers.

The partnership marks a key milestone in Ripple’s mission to leverage blockchain technology for positive global impact.

Eric van Miltenburg, SVP of Strategic Initiatives at Ripple, commented;

We look forward to learning from the IRC’s deep experience in delivering aid on the ground, which will help Ripple support humanitarian efforts at scale.

David Miliband, President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, added, “We’re excited to partner with Ripple to explore how their technology, like stablecoins, can enhance the speed and efficiency of cash relief, particularly in regions with limited access to traditional banking infrastructure in times of crisis.”

Ripple Labs Contribution to Charity
In a recent report, the United Nations (UN) revealed 360 million people require aid amid growing global crises. Thus, the recent collaboration aims to explore Ripple’s blockchain-based solutions to enhance the speed, security, and accessibility of aid delivery. This partnership comes shortly after the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) endorsed Ripple as a key player in a new global payments network.

It is worth noting that Ripple has supported numerous humanitarian organizations in expanding financial inclusion through its Impact program. This program supports initiatives to drive a more sustainable and economically inclusive financial system.

Ripple has donated $170 million since 2018, and its NGO partners currently operate in more than 80 countries. Moreover, the firm recently contributed $250,000 to Hurricanes Milton and Helene’s relief efforts. These contributions underscore the firm’s commitment to community-focused initiatives.

MOONPAY PARTNERS WITH RIPPLE FOR SEAMLESS XRP BUYING AND STORAGE IN-APP

MoonPay recently announced a partnership with Ripple, allowing users to buy, manage, and store XRP directly through the MoonPay app. This integration also marks the launch of RLUSD, Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin, which Ripple Labs developed in collaboration with platforms like Uphold, Bitstamp, Bitso, Independent Reserve, CoinMENA, and Bullish.

MoonPay wrote on X, “In partnership with  @Ripple , you can now buy, store, and manage your $XRP directly within your MoonPay account.  Whether you’re a new recruit or a loyal soldier, welcome home.”

In an interview with The Paul Barron Network, MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright stressed MoonPay’s dedication to simplifying crypto adoption by reducing the friction involved in onboarding new users. The primary goal is to make crypto wallets as accessible and user-friendly as traditional bank accounts.

MoonPay aims to offer a seamless experience for users, allowing them to easily move funds into their wallets with minimal hassle.

One of MoonPay’s innovations is a “one-tap” process, especially for returning customers who have already completed the Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Although onboarding might involve initial steps like KYC and biometric ID verification, this process streamlines future transactions.

Soto-Wright compares this approach to the early days of PayPal, which was initially challenging but evolved into a highly trusted platform. MoonPay’s streamlined experience seeks to bring similar ease and trust to the crypto ecosystem, preparing it for broader adoption by 2025.

He added that 2024 has been a breakthrough year for MoonPay’s product development. “We essentially revamped all our existing products, rebuilding them from scratch to ensure a top-notch user experience,” he explained. The goal was to create a seamless and polished interface, much like Apple Pay, to make the platform intuitive and free of glitches.

ESMA PUSHES FOR STRICTER CRYPTO REGULATION, PROPOSING MANDATORY CYBER AUDITS

ESMA urges tighter crypto regulation, proposing external cybersecurity audits amid rising cyberattacks.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) urged lawmakers in Brussels to tighten crypto regulation, pushing for external audits of cyber defenses among crypto companies.

ESMA stated that such measures were critical to safeguarding consumer interests, as cyberattacks on the crypto industry have risen dramatically in recent years.

ESMA Seeks EU Crypto Regulation And Call for Cybersecurity Audits
According to an exclusive Wednesday report from the Financial Times, ESMA’s proposal seeks to amend the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), the European Union’s (EU) comprehensive crypto regulatory framework, which is set to fully take effect in December 2024.

MiCA intends to bring clarity and protection to the largely unregulated crypto sector. The sector has been plagued by several scandals, most notably the infamous collapse of the FTX exchange.

As part of its recommendations, ESMA has proposed that crypto companies be required to conduct third-party audits of their systems to identify potential vulnerabilities.

These heightened concerns arise as the proposal comes at a time when regulators are increasingly worried about the sector’s growing susceptibility to cyberattacks.

In the first half of 2024, over $1.5 billion was stolen from crypto platforms. This represents an 84% increase over the same period in 2023, highlighting the urgency for cybersecurity reforms.

However, the European Commission has pushed back against ESMA’s proposal, suggesting that it oversteps the scope of MiCA.

While ESMA declined to comment, critics argue that stricter rules are necessary given the escalating threat of cyberattacks targeting crypto companies.

In recent years, several high-profile crypto hacks have occurred. In September, $45 million was stolen from the Singapore-based exchange BingX, while $230 million was drained from Indian exchange WazirX in July.

Such incidents further highlight the ongoing demand for stronger security protocols across the crypto industry.

“Security is not something you can take lightly,” commented Charles Kerrigan, a partner at CMS law firm.

He emphasized the need for crypto ventures to invest in robust cybersecurity measures to prevent such breaches.

Global Regulatory Pressure Builds Amid Regulation Concerns
The EU’s MiCA regulation already requires crypto companies to obtain a license by complying with new rules, including anti-money laundering controls and ensuring senior executives meet “fit and proper” standards.

But as crypto exchanges continue to fall victim to sophisticated cyberattacks, regulators are now calling for more proactive measures.

In addition to ESMA’s push for stricter cybersecurity oversight, the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) recently called for greater regulation beyond EU borders.

The EPRS report emphasized the risks posed by lax cybersecurity measures in non-EU jurisdictions, particularly in the U.S., where crypto regulation is highly fragmented.

As MiCA moves closer to full implementation, it is still unclear whether the EU will adopt ESMA’s recommendations for mandatory external audits.

The call for enhanced security standards aligns with ongoing efforts worldwide to increase regulation of the cryptocurrency industry.
