GoldSilver: What are the BRICS Nations Preparing for?

GoldSilver: What are the BRICS Nations Preparing for?

Mike Malony:  Nov. 1, 2024

BRICS is making waves on the global stage, and in this eye-opening video, we explore the recent BRICS Summit's key revelations, highlighting the alliance's economic resilience, military strategies, and ambitious plans to reshape international trade systems.

Despite facing heavy Western sanctions, Russia and its BRICS partners seem far from isolated. In fact, they’re laying the groundwork for a new world order. Discover:

The impressive economic gains of BRICS nations, including India's role as a major trade intermediary.

How Russia’s oil revenues continue to thrive despite sanctions.

Alarming military developments, from North Korean troops in Ukraine to Iran’s call for a global military coalition.

A deeper look into Russia’s narrative on the Ukraine conflict and the contradictions in claims of its isolation.

Strategic moves towards decoupling from Western financial influence, including Putin’s plans for food security and local currency settlements.

As tensions rise globally, are we on the brink of a major shift? Prepare to rethink everything.

In a world increasingly divided along geopolitical lines, the BRICS alliance (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) is making significant waves on the global stage. Recently, an eye-opening video by GoldSilver featuring Alan Hibbard peeled back the layers on the latest BRICS Summit, shedding light on the alliance’s growing economic resilience, military strategies, and ambitious plans to reshape international trade systems.

Despite heavy Western sanctions, particularly against Russia, BRICS nations appear to be crafting a robust counter-narrative to the established order, signaling the potential for a new world dynamic.

One of the most striking aspects of the recent BRICS Summit is the impressive economic gains shown by its member nations. Hibbard points out how India, in particular, is emerging as a significant trade intermediary, bridging gaps between East and West while facilitating trade routes that bypass traditional Western-dominated systems.

This pivot towards local currencies and bilateral trade agreements showcases BRICS nations’ commitment to establishing an economic framework less reliant on the U.S. dollar.

Russia, often viewed through a lens of isolation due to stringent sanctions, continues to see its oil revenues soar, bolstered by rising demand in Asia and selective trade partnerships. The adaptability of these nations in the face of Western pressures not only undermines the efficacy of sanctions but also affirms BRICS’ resolve to carve out an independent economic space.

One of the most pivotal discussions at the recent BRICS Summit revolved around the strategic moves to decouple from Western financial dominance. Hibbard highlights President Putin’s plans for achieving food security through enhanced local currency settlements, underscoring a shift that could disrupt the prevailing dollar-centric global trading system.

 As BRICS nations maneuver to establish alternative financial mechanisms, the implications are profound: we may be witnessing the early foundations of a multi-currency system that challenges the longstanding supremacy of the U.S. dollar.

As tensions escalate globally, the world finds itself on the precipice of a significant shift. The BRICS alliance, through its economic, military, and strategic initiatives, asserts itself as a formidable player on the international stage. Hibbard’s insights compel us to reconsider previously held notions about isolation, cooperation, and the ever-evolving dynamics of global power structures.

In conclusion, the BRICS nations are not merely reacting to external pressures; they are actively defining their future through collaboration, resilience, and innovation. As we navigate these changes, it is crucial for observers and participants in the global arena to reassess their strategies and alliances, preparing for a reality that may look vastly different in the not-so-distant future.

The question looms large: are we on the brink of a major shift in the global order? Only time will tell, but with BRICS making such substantive moves, it seems more plausible than ever.

Iraqi Dinar Update

Currency Auctions
2025 Budget
New Electronic Cards
New Lower Denominations

The Iraqi News Wire

The volume of currency issued in circulation is approaching 100 trillion dinars.

▪︎ Foreign exchange reserves exceed $100 billion
▪︎ Next year they witness major transformations in the restructuring of government and private banks.
▪︎ The growth rate of the money supply rose from 46 trillion to 100 trillion in two years.
▪︎ External debt does not exceed 20 billion dollars
▪︎ The current inflation rate is 3.8%, which is a typical rate.
▪︎ They have granted licenses to 16 electronic payment companies.

Possible Timeline For New Exchange Rate

End 2024: The Cancellation of currency auctions, which could open the door to a new, stabilized rate.

Early 2025: Potential introduction of a new exchange rate or redenomination, likely with lower denominations in January.

2025 and Beyond: Continued modernization and integration of the Iraqi banking sector, leading to enhanced stability and economic growth, which supports a stronger dinar.

Currency Auctions: The move to phase out currency auctions by the end of 2024 is part of their effort to stabilize the dinar and eliminate rate distortions caused by reliance on auction-based exchange mechanisms. This shift allows them to move toward a direct foreign exchange mechanism, leading to a more controlled, market-based exchange rate that better reflects the true value of the dinar in international markets.

Electronic Payments Infrastructure: The licensing of 16 new electronic payment companies is another critical step in our financial modernization strategy. These companies will play a pivotal role in increasing electronic payment adoption, facilitating both local and international transactions, and bringing Iraq’s banking infrastructure in line with global standards. This adoption is expected to improve financial inclusion and reduce reliance on cash transactions, indirectly supporting a more stable dinar.

New Lower Denominations: Plans to introduce lower denominations, potentially in early 2025, are aligned with the anticipated redenomination strategy. This initiative signals a long-term commitment to strengthening the dinar is said to contribute to easier everyday transactions, reducing inflationary pressure from currency volume in circulation and aligning Iraq’s monetary system with the broader regional and global financial ecosystem.

Iraq’s recent announcement on allowing “Category A” licenses for banks to function as exchange companies is a significant step toward economic growth and stability. With this license, banks can now offer extensive currency exchange services, enabling seamless and large-scale transactions for both individual customers and businesses. No more middle men.

Banks with a Category A license can buy and sell major currencies in high volumes. This isn’t just limited to small exchanges for travel but includes substantial transactions for international business and investment, meaning Iraqi banks can now better support large foreign currency needs. This is important to our investment.

Think about the recent announcements.

• Iraq established a exchange syndicate.
• XRP & XLM became official currencies.
• The 2025 budget was approved.
• They are supposed to select a new parliament speaker today.
• The Dinar is recovering locally. Which is purchasing power.
• The Oil & Gas Sectors signed more contracts.
• The Trade Bank of Iraq is opening new branches.
• The Mosul International Airport was built with international specifications and is 86% complete. (Amazing)

Ladies & Gentlemen Start Your Engines

Why it’s important?

• Resolution of Legislative Stalemate: The speaker’s position had been vacant since November 2023, leading to a legislative impasse. Al-Mashhadani’s election ends this nearly year-long vacuum, enabling the parliament to resume its full legislative functions.

• Facilitation of Critical Legislation: With a functioning parliament, there is renewed potential to address and pass critical laws that have been delayed, such as the Federal Oil and Gas Law. This law is crucial for defining the management and distribution of Iraq’s oil resources, a matter that has been under debate for over 15 years.

• Advancement of Monetary Reforms: A stable legislative environment is essential for implementing monetary reforms aimed at economic stabilization and growth. Al-Mashhadani’s leadership can provide the necessary momentum to enact policies that enhance the financial sector’s efficiency and transparency.

Implications for Iraq’s Future:

The successful passage of the Oil and Gas Law would clarify the roles of federal and regional authorities in resource management, potentially reducing conflicts and attracting foreign investment. Similarly, monetary reforms could lead to a more stable currency and improved economic conditions, benefiting the Iraqi populace.

Good morning Dinar Recaps,

UBS ISSUES TOKENIZED USD MONEY MARKET FUND USING ETHEREUM TECH

Today UBS Asset Management announced the launch of its “UBS USD Money Market Investment Fund Token” (“uMINT”) which is “built on Ethereum distributed ledger technology”.

The Singapore fund will only be available through authorized distribution partners. That’s the case for most regulated entities, including BlackRock’s BUIDL money market fund where Securitize is a partner.

Previously UBS has actively engaged with the public Ethereum blockchain, using tokens that require permissions. However, Ethereum technology is also available in private environments. UBS uses both as part of UBS Tokenize, hence we’ve requested clarification, although the fund likely uses public blockchain.

“We have seen growing investor appetite for tokenized financial assets across asset classes,” said Thomas Kaegi, Co-Head of UBS Asset Management APAC. “Through leveraging our global capabilities and collaborating with peers and regulators, we can now provide clients with an innovative solution.”

Tokenized money market funds such as BUIDL, Franklin Templeton’s FOBXX, and now uMINT, currently mainly target the crypto investor class. The funds provide a safe place to park cash and earn yield.

However, in the future there will be a broader demand for these sorts of funds, especially those that are transferrable, enabling the ability to switch in and out of the funds almost instantly. 

That compares to typical funds that tend to have once a day redemptions. This feature is appealing beyond crypto investors to corporate treasurers and institutions.

UBS and tokenization
Meanwhile, UBS Asset Management has been active in tokenization for some time. Last year UBS Hong Kong worked with Bank of China Investment (BOCI) for BOCI’s issuance of CNH 200 million ($28m) in digital structured notes on the Ethereum public blockchain.

As part of Singapore’s Project Guardian initiative, UBS has engaged in several pilots. These included the pilot issuance of a tokenized money market fund by UBS Asset Management on the Ethereum blockchain using a Singapore variable capital company (VCC) structure.

Plus, the bank was involved in the first institutional cross border repo trade on a public blockchain in conjunction with DBS and SBI Digital Asset Holdings.

UBS is also engaged in tokenized cash. It was one of the founders of Fnality, the institutional settlement network that tokenizes balances held at a central bank account.

BIS DISTANCES FROM PROJECT MBRIDGE AMID BRICS SANCTIONS CONCERNS

Economic sanctions have a profound effect on international financial architecture, it turns out.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has “graduated out” of Project mBridge, the wholesale central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) bridge its Innovation Hub has helped develop since 2021. Nonetheless, the project is many years away from becoming operational, BIS general manager Augustín Carstens said on Oct. 31.

Project mBridge, which uses technology developed by the Hyperledger Foundation, reached the status of minimum viable product and invited private sector participation in June. Banks in China and the United Arab Emirates have heeded the call to join.

Besides the BIS, founding members of the project include the central monetary authorities of China, Hong Kong, Thailand and the UAE. Saudi Arabia joined as a full member in June, and the project has over 25 observing members.

BIS insists it backs sanctions
The reason for Carstens’ eagerness to distance his organization from such a promising project and downplay its significance was obvious at the fireside chat at the Santander International Banking Conference where Carstens was speaking. He was asked:

“I have noted media speculation recently that one of your projects — Project mBridge — could provide the basis for a BRICS initiative to circumvent sanctions. Is that plausible?”

“With respect to political aspects, the noise out there, mBridge is not the ‘BRICS bridge’ — I have to say that categorically,” Carstens answered.

Rather, mBridge was designed to meet the needs of central banks. But Carstens did not say circumventing sanctions with Project mBridge was implausible. Instead:

“The BIS does not operate with any countries, nor can its products be used by any countries that are subject to sanctions […] And all central bank members are in this mindset.”

BRICS — the intergovernmental organization named for founding members Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — has been discussing de-dollarization for years. In that time, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have joined it, meaning that BRICS and Project mBridge share nearly half their members.

BRICS has long promoted efforts toward de-dollarization of the international financial system. While it has had little success so far in reaching that goal, the emphasis on alternative currency options shown at the group’s summit in Kazan, Russia, earlier in October made international observers shudder.

Reconsidering international transfers
The appeal of Project mBridge for potential sanctions evaders is its circumvention of the correspondent banking system, which is the practical mechanism for imposing sanctions.

Carstens was eager to direct attention to another BIS undertaking — Project Agora — that could provide a basis for the “Finternet” concept of international financial architecture he introduced in April.

The Bank of France (representing the Eurosystem), Bank of Japan, Bank of Korea, Bank of Mexico, Swiss National Bank, Bank of England and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York are the participants in Project Agora — no BRICS members. Crucially, Project Agora maintains the correspondent banking system.

 The Prime Minister's Representative, Technical Advisor and Head of the Sovereign Loans Initiative, Mohammed Sahib Al-Daraji, confirmed today, Thursday, that the private sector is a fundamental pillar in the government's new economic plan, while pointing to the government's efforts to reduce the transfer of hard currency and support national projects.

Al-Daraji said in a speech during the first Iraqi Economic Forum that "the Iraqi government has begun taking real steps to support the Iraqi economy, as it has changed the philosophy of the economy that suffered from a lack of clarity in the economic vision for more than twenty years."

He pointed out that "the government is working on a new approach that considers the private sector a fundamental pillar and seeks to integrate its outputs into the national product," noting that "the government provides special support to the investment and business environment sectors, as it seeks to separate direct investment and provide an appropriate environment for the private sector to participate in projects. The government also encourages partnerships with foreign companies to demonstrate developments in the customs and tax system, such as unifying taxes and customs tariffs across regions, and exempting foreign companies from some special taxes."

He pointed out that "Iraq has begun to guarantee the private sector before international financial institutions through the Sovereign Guarantees Initiative, and has moved towards establishing an international market for carbon bonds to support project financing."

He pointed out the "three priorities of the Iraqi economy: localizing industries, integrating with global financial institutions, and developing competencies for the public and private sectors," adding that "the Iraqi market is open to global companies, especially in the construction and clean energy sectors, and that there is a trend to support the private sector through new legislation such as laws to protect intellectual property and partnerships between the public and private sectors."

He added, "The government supports the economy based on partnership with the private sector, with a focus on reducing the transfer of hard currency abroad.

He expressed his "hope that these conferences will produce outcomes that support the current government's orientations, which is the most attentive to the private sector and the most involved in decisions," noting "the presence of representatives from the private sector on the Development Fund's Board of Directors and within the Prime Minister's official delegations as a message of support for businessmen."  link

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Evening 10-31-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

HEDERA WELCOMES NAIROBI SECURITIES EXCHANGE TO GOVERNING COUNCIL, ACCELERATING SECURITIES TOKENIZATION IN AFRICA

▪️The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) has joined the Hedera Governing Council to advance tokenization in Kenya’s capital markets, a significant move for both the local economy and the broader African financial landscape.

▪️By joining the Hedera Council, the NSE will provide African investors with access to innovative digital assets and financial products.

Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), the best-performing market in Africa has joined the decentralized Hedera Governing Council, the organization behind Hedera Hashgraph, in a bid to expedite the adoption of tokenized securities within Kenya’s capital markets. As the 32nd member of the Hedera Council, the NSE joins a global network that includes companies like Google, IBM, and LG, which oversee Hedera’s governance.

According to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) ranking, the NSE earned the title of Africa’s top-performing market in the first nine months of 2024. This displays the strong trust investors have in it. Furthermore, this reward showcases how the NSE is the cornerstone of prosperity to Kenya’s economic progress.

Here’s How Hedera Will Transform Digital Finance in Africa
As a key part of this alliance, the NSE brings digital and tokenized assets directly into the mainstream. For context, Tokenization is the process of converting real assets like stocks, bonds, and commodities into digital tokens on a blockchain. This collaboration also aims to modernize Africa’s financial markets by using Hedera’s advanced Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). Hedera’s DLT allows multiple members to maintain their own identical copy of a shared ledger.

Through Hedera’s Hashgraph Consensus, created by Leemon Baird, co-founder and chief scientist of Hedera the NSE will have several benefits. This includes Secure, real-time, and low-cost payment settlement allowing users to transact using their preferred cryptocurrency. Additionally, it offers decentralized, scalable, and publicly verifiable data logs ensuring that all transactions and activities can be audited and verified without relying on a central authority.

The mechanism allows the network to achieve an impressive throughput of over 10,000 transactions per second. This is achieved by utilizing a unique algorithm that emphasizes speed and efficiency.

Hedera is continually expanding its ecosystem, offering a range of applications and developer tools. Recently, Hedera integrated LayerZero (ZRO), a technology that enables applications to move data across blockchains, into its network to enhance the Hedera Token Service (HTS). This will significantly boost the NSE’s offerings by making the exchange a hub for digital asset trading.

Bill Miller, Co-Chair of the Membership Committee for Hedera, highlighted in the report that the NSE possesses expertise and strong foundations in Africa. As one of the largest economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, Kenya offers an opportunity to accelerate the adoption of digital assets.

With a market capitalization of about $12.65 billion, daily transaction volumes exceeding $100 million, and 63 listed companies across 11 sectors, the NSE provides an ideal foundation for enhancing global capital markets.

Hedera’s advanced technology will enable the NSE to enhance global liquidity and improve access to financial services for African investors, while also strengthening its presence in the digital asset space.

U.S. TREASURY REPORT PROPOSES CBDC REPLACEMENT FOR PRIVATE STABLECOINS

The U.S. Treasury Department has recommended replacing private stablecoins with government-issued CBDCs, citing concerns about the $120 billion in Treasury bills held as stablecoin collateral and potential market risks.

▪️U.S. Treasury released report suggesting stablecoins should be replaced by CBDCs

▪️Treasury estimates $120B in T-bills bought by stablecoin issuers, with Tether holding $81B

▪️Report warns of potential “fire-sale” risk if major stablecoins collapse

▪️Over 80% of crypto transactions involve stablecoins, with USDT leading in trading volume

▪️Trump opposes CBDCs but his project World Liberty Financial plans to launch a stablecoin

The U.S. Treasury Department has called for the eventual replacement of private stablecoins with government-issued central bank digital currency (CBDC) in a detailed report released Wednesday.

The report highlights mounting concerns over the stablecoin market’s growing influence in the U.S. Treasury bills market.

According to the Treasury’s Office of Debt Management, stablecoin issuers now hold approximately $120 billion worth of Treasury bills as collateral.

Tether, the company behind the USDT stablecoin, accounts for $81 billion of these holdings, making it a major player in the T-bills market.

The 132-page report draws parallels between the current stablecoin landscape and the “wildcat” banking era of the 1800s, when private banks issued their own currencies.

The Treasury suggests that just as government-backed money replaced those private currencies, CBDCs should take over the role currently played by stablecoins in digital transactions.

Stablecoins have become essential to cryptocurrency markets, serving as a bridge between traditional and digital finance.

The Treasury estimates that these digital assets are involved in more than 80% of all crypto transactions. USDT, the largest stablecoin by market volume, processed $53 billion in trades within a 24-hour period.

The report expresses particular concern about the risk of stablecoin depegging events, where these digital currencies lose their intended one-to-one relationship with the U.S. dollar. Several such incidents have occurred in recent years, raising alarm bells about market stability.

The Treasury’s primary worry centers on the possibility of a “fire-sale” scenario. If a major stablecoin issuer like Tether were to face a crisis, it might need to quickly sell its T-bill holdings, potentially disrupting the broader Treasury securities market.

While stablecoin advocates argue that these products enhance dollar dominance by increasing demand for Treasury bills, the report indicates that the Treasury views this relationship differently.

The department suggests that the growing interconnection between stablecoins and traditional financial markets through T-bill holdings poses unnecessary risks.

The political landscape surrounding digital currencies has grown increasingly complex. Several Republican lawmakers have voiced opposition to CBDCs, labeling them as potential tools for government overreach.

Former President Donald Trump has been particularly vocal in his criticism, promising to block CBDC development if reelected.

However, the situation has additional layers of complexity. Trump’s own crypto project, World Liberty Financial, which recently raised $14 million, is reportedly developing a stablecoin.

This project’s team has promoted private stablecoins as a way to support T-bill purchases and strengthen dollar supremacy.

The Treasury report acknowledges that stablecoins currently represent a relatively small portion of the overall T-bills market. However, it warns that continued growth could increase the risk of market disruptions if stablecoin-related instability occurs.

The document provides detailed data about the current state of stablecoin holdings. Beyond Tether’s $81 billion position, other stablecoin issuers collectively hold tens of billions in Treasury securities as backing for their digital currencies.

The report examines various stablecoin failures and depegging events from recent years, using these incidents to support its argument for transitioning to CBDCs.

These examples serve as cautionary tales about the potential risks of allowing private digital currencies to become too deeply embedded in the financial system.

Trading volume statistics included in the report underscore the growing importance of stablecoins in crypto markets. The data shows that stablecoin trading volumes often exceed those of traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

He pointed out the "three priorities of the Iraqi economy: localizing industries, integrating with global financial institutions, and developing competencies for the public and private sectors," adding that "the Iraqi market is open to global companies, especially in the construction and clean energy sectors, and that there is a trend to support the private sector through new legislation such as laws to protect intellectual property and partnerships between the public and private sectors."

He added, "The government supports the economy based on partnership with the private sector, with a focus on reducing the transfer of hard currency abroad.

He expressed his "hope that these conferences will produce outcomes that support the current government's orientations, which is the most attentive to the private sector and the most involved in decisions," noting "the presence of representatives from the private sector on the Development Fund's Board of Directors and within the Prime Minister's official delegations as a message of support for businessmen."   LINK

Mnt Goat  There is NOT going to any “big lines” or celebrations in Iraq when they revalue in country. The only thing that will happen is that they will go on with life and know they have more purchasing power, but only after the reinstatement  happens...They are catching up to the rest of the developed world. Also, you must remember too that the government along with the CBI is constantly now telling the citizens they are going to raise the value of the dinar to the “glory days” of the dinar. [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Mnt Goat   ...the CBI is now also broadcasting the videos they produced by the committee, in which my CBI contact told me earlier this year, were being produced and ready for showing, but back then we were told – not yet. Now they are being shown to the public. Yes, it is time and so yet another clue things are close...If you talk to almost any citizens now in Iraq, they will tell you that they expect this event to happen soon.    [Post 2 of 2]

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

US TREASURY DISCUSSES THE TOKENIZATION OF TREASURIES

During Tuesday’s meeting of the US Treasury’s Borrowing Advisory Committee, the members explored the topic of tokenizing US Treasuries. It discussed the impact of stablecoins on the demand for short term Treasuries, concluding that the effect is marginal.

The presentation covered the use of tokenized Treasuries as a safe haven in the digital asset sector. And finally, it focused on how blockchain and tokenization could improve Treasury market operations, including the benefits, costs and risks.

Stablecoins
Our calculations show the combined US Treasury and repo holdings of the two largest stablecoins, Tether and USDC as $120 billion in June 2024. Putting them on a list of the largest foreign country investors would rank them (combined) in the eighteenth spot. Yet given the total size of Treasury issuance, the figure is indeed marginal.

However, the presentation raised the concern that a collapse of a “major stablecoin like Tether could lead to a fire sale of short-dated Treasuries.”

Some other comments on the stablecoin front might be viewed as controversial by the crypto sector.

For example, it states “In a similar manner to how privately-issued ‘wildcat’ currencies were replaced by government-backed central currencies in the late-1800s, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) will likely need to replace stablecoins as the primary form of digital currency underpinning tokenized transactions.”

It also notes that “History shows that ‘private currency’ that does not meet NQA requirements leads to financial instability and as such is highly undesirable.”

 NQA refers to no questions asked, in the sense that the recipient should not need to perform due diligence before receiving a stablecoin. Both quotes referenced a paper, “Taming Wildcat Stablecoins.”

The importance of intraday for tokenized Treasuries?
When discussing the potential for tokenizing Treasuries, there were some curiosities. Firstly, the presentation outlined the potential benefits, which include:

▪️Improvements in clearing and settlement
▪️Improved collateral management
▪️Improved transparency and accountability
▪️Composability and innovation
▪️Increased inclusion and demand? (fractionalization)
▪️Increased liquidity? (including 24/7)

While ‘intraday’ repo was mentioned in a description of JP Morgan’s repo platform, it was not explicitly covered in the list of advantages. Of course, the enablement of intraday transactions is a direct side effect of improvements in clearing, settlement and collateral management that were mentioned.

Intraday allows banks to use repo to borrow and lend for an hour or two, rather than having to wait for T+1 settlement. Repurchase agreements (repo) involve the temporary transfer of securities in exchange for cash, with the transaction reversed a short while later, plus a small amount of interest. 

We’re emphasizing the point because the importance of intraday to traditional financial institutions may be underappreciated in government circles. In a recent speech by Federal Reserve Governor Waller, he emphasized the potential for 24/7 repo. Yet within the industry, intraday is considered far more important than the ability to trade 24/7.

Treasuries and tokenization platforms
A list of tokenization platforms were presented, including JP Morgan’s intraday repo platform. However, there was no mention of Broadridge’s Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR). If someone asked Ledger Insights to state the most important platform in Treasury tokenization right now, it would be Broadridge’s DLR.

The total amount of tokenized Treasury funds on public blockchain is around $2 billion. DLR is used for $1 – $1.4 trillion in transactions per month, whereas JP Morgan’s platform has processed roughly $1.5 trillion since its launch in 2020. One would not expect JP Morgan’s solution to be of the same scale as DLR since it purely serves JP Morgan clients.

DLR has several purposes, with intraday repo as the main one. It also supports sponsored repo via the DTCC’s FICC platform. DLR and JP Morgan’s repo platform already achieve many of the advantages explored during the presentation. However, today they are tiny compared to the scale of the Treasury market.

The conclusion was that a tokenized Treasury platform would ideally be on a private permissioned blockchain managed by a trusted government authority.

Pound Sterling Suffers Biggest Drop in 18 Months Amid Reeves' Tax-and-Spend Storm

Following the latest budget reveal, the pound sterling has taken a sharp tumble, fueled by mounting worries about the U.K.’s fiscal outlook. Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ decision to pump £70 billion into government spending—funded through additional borrowing—has stirred up significant unease among investors. They’re concerned this move could lead to higher inflation and escalating interest rates.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON LAUNCHES TOKENIZED MONEY FUND ON BASE

Franklin Templeton says this is the first tokenized money fund to launch on Coinbase's layer-2 network.

Franklin Templeton is launching its tokenized money fund on Base, Coinbase’s layer-2 network, the asset manager said on Oct. 31.

The Franklin OnChain US Government Money Fund (FOBXX) is the first tokenized fund to launch on Base, Franklin Templeton said in a post on the X platform.

Created in 2021, FOBXX has previously launched on blockchain networks including Stellar, Polygon, and Arbitrum.

Franklin Templeton is unique among tokenized fund managers in outsourcing a meaningful portion of reporting requirements — such as share ownership records typically handled by an off-chain transfer agent — to blockchain networks’ public ledgers.

“We are currently the only product with the ability to use public distributed ledger technologies for official transaction record-keeping,” Roger Bayston, Franklin Templeton’s head of digital assets told Cointelegraph in July.

The launch of FOBXX on Base indicates United States regulators consider Base’s public ledger to be a legitimate instrument for financial recordkeeping.

Franklin Templeton’s FOBXX currently has net assets of approximately $435 million and has been generating annualized returns of about 4.7% as of October 2024.

It is accessible through Franklin Templeton’s Benji Investments platform.

The Base launch marks Franklin Templeton’s latest effort to enhance the accessibility of its tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).

Since its 2023 launch, Base has emerged as Ethereum’s second most popular layer-2 scaling solution, with a total value locked (TVL) of approximately $8 billion, according to L2Beat.

Arbitrum leads with upwards of $13 billion in TVL, the data shows.

Tokenized RWAs — from money funds to artworks — represent a $30-trillion market opportunity globally, Colin Butler, Polygon’s global head of institutional capital, told Cointelegraph in August.

Demand is surging for products that tokenize T-bills and other highly liquid yield-bearing assets.

FOBXX’s top rival is BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), with assets under management (AUM) of approximately $530 million, according to data from RWA.xyz.

Tishwash:  The private sector has begun a new phase

Dr. Murtadha Al-Khafaji, a member of the Iraqi Businessmen Union, stated that the Iraqi private sector has begun a new phase that is different from the previous one, and it has become possible to rely on its capabilities to implement projects.

Al-Khafaji said: The projects implemented by the Iraqi private sector indicate the potential of local effort, which has become comparable to global effort, as local capabilities have been developed during the last decade. He added that Iraqi human resources have gained a lot of experience, through interaction with global expertise, which has worked in more than one economic aspect. He pointed out that national companies must occupy the appropriate place within the local labor market.  link

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

Tishwash:  Call to establish a digital gold market in Iraq

The economic and financial expert, Dr. Saif Al-Halfi, called for the establishment of a digital gold market in Iraq, the establishment of which requires cooperation between the Central Bank of Iraq, the Securities Commission, and the Iraq Stock Exchange, as it provides Iraqi investors with the opportunity to participate in the global gold market, which attracts additional investments to Iraq, and also enhances cooperation between the Iraqi banking system and international financial institutions.

Al-Halfi said that the Central Bank can issue digital gold bullion in different weights: 1 gram, 10 grams, 100 grams, approved by the government. These digital bullion can be traded on the Iraq Stock Exchange in the same way that stocks or bonds are traded, and through the market’s financial intermediaries system, where investors can buy bullion using local currencies or convert them into foreign currencies. 

He added that the market can be linked to global gold prices and currency exchange rates, which enhances transparency and interaction with the global market. A platform similar to the Forex markets can also be used to trade digital gold inside Iraq in the Iraq Stock Exchange, noting that gold prices will be determined according to global exchange rates for gold and foreign currencies. This will allow investors the opportunity to speculate on gold price fluctuations and link them to changes in global currency prices, which increases profit opportunities and creates many job opportunities.

Regarding the economic benefits, Al-Halfi said: Through this market, liquidity is withdrawn from the banking system, and the digital gold market can act as a tool to withdraw cash liquidity. Instead of keeping money in banks, investors may prefer to buy digital gold, which is a safe asset that maintains its value, protects the investor’s money from high inflation rates, reduces the money supply, which is the goal, and limits inflation.

He pointed out that the digital gold market contributes to diversifying the Iraqi economy, away from the traditional reliance on oil. The market can be a platform to encourage financial innovation and develop new investment tools, especially exploiting the opportunities of the Faw Port entering operation next year, and what it provides in terms of a large base for investors, especially individuals and companies, as well as the goal we seek on the path of development.

He pointed out that establishing a digital gold market requires a strong technical infrastructure, including secure electronic platforms and clear regulatory laws to protect investors’ rights. This will increase job opportunities, the ability to diversify and innovate, and the emergence of a start-up culture.

Al-Halfi explained that the digital gold markets aim to enhance transparency and ease in gold trading, and provide investors with a real opportunity to work, trade and speculate on gold prices without the need to own actual gold. When the investor wants to convert gold into bullion or jewelry, these foundations allow him to convert digital gold into bullion while paying mining and crafting fees. All of these products create real and comprehensive investment business opportunities, which creates and enhances a flexible and innovative investment environment in Iraq. 

Gold is one of the financial assets that has always been a safe haven for investors, especially in times of economic, political and regional turmoil. Here, with the global digital and financial development, new markets have emerged for digital gold trading, where gold can be easily bought and sold through electronic platforms. In light of these developments, it is possible to create a market for digital gold trading in Iraq, especially with the government’s trend towards establishing digital banks and strengthening electronic payment systems, especially the use of electronic payment cards.  link

Prime Minister's Advisor: Iraq is moving towards strengthening partnership with foreign companies and stimulating investment

The Prime Minister's Representative, Technical Advisor and Head of the Sovereign Loans Initiative, Mohammed Sahib Al-Daraji, confirmed today, Thursday, that the private sector is a fundamental pillar in the government's new economic plan, while pointing to the government's efforts to reduce the transfer of hard currency and support national projects.

Al-Daraji conveyed, in his speech during the first Iraqi Economic Forum, which was attended by the correspondent of the Iraqi News Agency (INA), "the greetings of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and his support for this conference," explaining that "the Iraqi government has begun taking real steps to support the Iraqi economy, as it has changed the philosophy of the economy that suffered from a lack of clarity in the economic vision for more than twenty years."

He pointed out that "the government is working on a new approach that considers the private sector a fundamental pillar and seeks to integrate its outputs into the national product," noting that "the government provides special support to the investment and business environment sectors, as it seeks to separate direct investment and provide an appropriate environment for the private sector to participate in projects. The government also encourages partnerships with foreign companies to demonstrate developments in the customs and tax system, such as unifying taxes and customs tariffs across regions, and exempting foreign companies from some special taxes."

He pointed out that "Iraq has begun to guarantee the private sector before international financial institutions through the Sovereign Guarantees Initiative, and has moved towards establishing an international market for carbon bonds to support project financing."

He pointed out the "three priorities of the Iraqi economy: localizing industries, integrating with global financial institutions, and developing competencies for the public and private sectors," adding that "the Iraqi market is open to global companies, especially in the construction and clean energy sectors, and that there is a trend to support the private sector through new legislation such as laws to protect intellectual property and partnerships between the public and private sectors."

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

SOME EU STATES UNHAPPY WITH ECB CONTROLLING DIGITAL EURO LIMITS – REPORT

Politico reported that some European states, including Germany, France, the Netherlands and six other countries, are concerned about the European Central Bank (ECB) having the right to specify holding limits for the digital euro central bank digital currency (CBDC).

A concern is that the ECB could set the wallet limits too high, resulting in deposits flowing out of banks. One diplomat called it a “battle for power” between central banks and politicians. 

An opposite worry is that the limits might be viewed as inhibiting financial freedoms and hence a Big Brother move. A related concern is that the digital currency could be out of touch with consumer needs and not adopted.

While the EU’s treaty gives the ECB certain privileges, the digital euro will have its own legislation, which has yet to be passed. 

Before the recent European elections, several amendments were proposed to a draft. Politico viewed the notes of one of the meetings, which showed that nine countries objected to the ECB deciding on wallet holding limits.

If the ECB sets the holding limit, it views this as preserving any decision from political pressures.

How would digital euro holding limits work?
A couple of key points were not covered in the Politico piece. Firstly, the whole point of the digital euro is to create a pan European payment system in an attempt to dislodge the dominance of non-European players such as Visa and Mastercard. While SEPA may be pan European, it is purely a backend solution. Hence, it seems logical that there needs to be a single limit for the entire EU block.

If the ECB doesn’t get to decide, how would it work practically? An annual vote on limits?

Messy waterfalls
The messier point is the implementation of the holding limits. If the holding limit is €3,000 and someone receives money that pushes the balance over, then any excess funds will be swept into a bank account.

On the other hand, if someone makes a payment and doesn’t have enough digital euros in their wallet, it can automatically pull the money from the connected bank account. These are the waterfall and reverse waterfall functions.

This has a few implications. At a practical level, some people like to keep tabs on how they spend money. If there’s a lot of movement between your bank and the digital euro wallet, that gets rather messy and hard to track. A lack of visibility also helps fraudsters.

Changing tack, one of the potential advantages of a CBDC is it could provide super efficient payments. However, with the waterfall and reverse waterfall, some payments could have three payment legs: the sender doesn’t have enough funds so it pulls money from their bank; the CBDC payment; and the recipient now has too much in their wallet, so that’s swept into their bank account.

That’s why several countries believe there will be pressure to provide higher limits, so there’s less need to use the waterfall functionality.

Some have noted that the waterfall also requires all banks in the EU to support real time payments 24/7, involving significant work. However, EU instant payment regulations were adopted earlier this year, so that will be a requirement with or without the digital euro.

Debates around setting the holding limit
In one of the more recent legislative proposals, it was suggested that banks and payment providers could set the limits themselves. The Dutch central bank published a digital euro paper concluding that holding limits would be critical, especially during the transition phase.

 Another report commissioned by the European Banking Federation found a €3,000 limit with a 40% takeup would increase bank funding costs by €8.8 billion.

For its part, the ECB says it would set the limits based on the economic circumstances at launch. However, one of the tasks it’s been working on recently is coming up with a methodology to make the decision.

STABLECOINS WILL THRIVE OVER CBDCS: CIRCLE CEO

Jeremy Allaire believes most governments are open-minded toward crypto and stablecoin regulations.

Speaking at the current Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai, the CEO of Circle, the issuer of the second-largest stablecoin, expressed optimism regarding global regulation toward the sector.

He also asserted that people would prefer privately-issued stablecoins over government-launched CBDCs, which has been evident in China.

Allaire spoke a lot about the current regulatory environment in numerous countries and outlined the overall positive sentiment coming from most. In fact, he noted that even those who have been publicly against the sector or sitting on the sidelines, are actually watching carefully what others would do and are ready to follow suit with comprehensive regulations.

He believes the next 12 months will be crucial for the stablecoin space, which has already grown to roughly $170 billion, with Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC responsible for the lion’s share.

However, Allaire noted that this is still a fraction of the global financial space, which is hundreds or even thousands of times larger. This means that the stablecoin industry still has lots of room for growth.

On the question whether the majority of global population will prefer central bank digital currencies or stablecoins, Circle’s CEO was adamant that they will go for the latter.

This is because people prefer privately-issued products and the innovation coming from them, rather than government-backed alternatives.

He outlined China as a good example. The world’s most populated nation launched its own CBDC a few years ago, but is yet to see actual usage, according to Allaire. He said people only use it once the government provides free coupons.

CBI saying they have plans in place to cancel out the dollar auctions soon because there is still corrupt in these transaction.   FRANK:  That is correct.  Sudani is removing the auctions from the CBI because that's where all the stealing was occurring. The auctions will no longer be in the control of the banks but in control of Sudani of the GOI...Sudani is not playing any more games. You are about to have your purchasing power as he promised you...

Mnt Goat  Remember about the Cash Center that recently opened to receive the stashes and hordes of dinars. The first point is these were dinars NOT dollars...These are NOT exchange centers. They are simply depositing their hoards of dinars in the bank and putting them into electronic form...They are staying in dinars, NOT U.S. dollars... these centers  show us some success of just the beginning stages of the process to delete the zeros. This is part of the process is to collect  these stashes of notes. These are not only needed for liquidity in the banks but also to coincide with the shrinking of the monetary mass that is needed to raise the rate of the dinar, when they do pull the trigger on the higher “official” CBI rate in- country.

Putin Pushes For NEW International Payment System: What Is It And How Does It Work?

GeoFlux:  10-30-2024

In a bold move, Russian President Vladimir Putin is pushing for a new international payment system that could potentially reshape the global economic landscape.

The proposed BRICS Pay System, backed by the expanding BRICS group, aims to challenge the dominance of the US dollar and provide an alternative to the Western-controlled SWIFT system.

Built on blockchain technology, this system promises faster, cheaper, and more secure transactions in member nations' currencies.

The development of the BRICS Pay System is part of a broader trend of de-dollarization, as countries seek to reduce their reliance on the US dollar in international trade. This shift could lead to significant changes in global trade patterns, financial power dynamics, and economic governance.

While the BRICS Pay System faces significant challenges, such as economic disparities among member nations and regulatory hurdles, it presents intriguing opportunities for investors.

As the global financial landscape evolves, staying informed about these developments will be crucial for navigating the future of international finance.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

STABLECOINS BOOSTING DEMAND FOR US T-BILLS: TREASURY DEPT

The United States Treasury Department is taking an interest in stablecoins and tokenization.
Stablecoins seem to be increasing demand for short-term United States government bonds known as Treasury bills, according to US Department of the Treasury meeting minutes published Oct. 30.

In an Oct. 29 meeting, the US Treasury’s Borrowing Advisory Committee weighed the benefits of stablecoin adoption and Treasury bill tokenization, with one member suggesting the US create a permissioned blockchain for T-bills, the minutes said.

The comments are the latest from US government officials indicating a nascent openness to meaningfully integrating blockchain technologies into the US financial system.

“[B]ecause most stablecoin collateral reportedly consists of either Treasury bills or Treasury-backed repurchase agreement transactions, the growth in stablecoins has likely resulted in a modest increase in demand for short-dated Treasury securities,” one Committee member said, according to the minutes.

The committee said T-bill tokenization “could lead both to operational improvements and to innovation in the Treasury market” but could also pose risks to financial stability.

One member suggested that “tokenization in the Treasury market would likely require the development of a privately controlled and permissioned blockchain managed by a trusted government authority.”

Stablecoins — tokens pegged to the US dollar — are emerging as the core infrastructure for trading and payments.

Total stablecoin market capitalization hit record highs in 2024 and now approaches $180 million, according to CoinMarketCap.

Tether USDT dominates among stablecoins with a market capitalization of $120 billion.

Circle’s USD Coin USDC is a distant second, with a market capitalization of approximately $35 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.

Meanwhile, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) — from Treasury securities to artworks — represent a $30-trillion market opportunity globally, Colin Butler, Polygon’s global head of institutional capital, told Cointelegraph in August.

Demand is surging for products that tokenize T-bills and other highly liquid yield-bearing assets.

Among the largest in terms of assets under management (AUM) are BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) and Franklin OnChain US Government Money Fund (FOBXX), with AUM of approximately $530 million and $410 million, respectively.

A Tax-free Crypto era?
This idea of tax-free crypto transactions has generated buzz among investors and entrepreneurs. If the U.S. is successful in eliminating capital gains taxes on crypto transactions, it could position itself as a global crypto hub. This could attract significant capital from international investors and encourage U.S.-based companies to invest in blockchain and crypto technology.

For an average crypto holder, this could be the start of a new era where crypto can be used as both a payment method and a store of value without further tax concerns.

RIPPLE NEWS: EX-CTO’S GAME-CHANGING ANNOUNCEMENT COULD REDEFINE XRP LEDGER

▪️ Ex-Ripple CTO Stefan Thomas says he’s working on a new version of Codius, the smart contract hosting protocol that allows more versatility and flexibility.

▪️One expert says this is a big deal for the XRP Ledger as it allows off-chain smart contract execution and cross-ledger
 compatibility.

Stefan Thomas, Ripple’s first Chief Technology Officer (CTO), is developing a new version of Codius, the smart contract protocol he developed a decade ago. This could open up new opportunities for the XRP Ledger.

Today, smart contracts are widespread and easier than ever to write and deploy. However, this wasn’t always the case. Back in the early 2010s, these contracts were still in their early stages and quite rigid. Thomas, who was the CTO of Ripple at the time, set out to change this, and Codius was born.

While it initially launched as a Ripple project, Codius soon gained a life of its own. Essentially, it offers a more versatile and flexible approach to deploying smart contracts, which allows them to run on any blockchain, dApp or server. These contracts can also interact with multiple other ledgers and blockchains, besides the one on which they are deployed.

Codius died years ago, but Thomas—now the CEO of Coil—recently revealed that he is working on reviving it.

Smart contracts have evolved since the days of Codius, and many of the features the team was working on in 2014 can now be found in existing blockchain networks. However, Codius retains some key tech that one expert believes could be vital to the XRP Ledger today.

Could Codius Accelerate XRP Ledger Adoption?
In a thread on X, renowned writer and entrepreneur Max Avery revealed that Codius’s unique features include decentralised hosting, which creates a peer-to-peer network for services, built-in billing, which allows programs to pay for their operations and language flexibility, which allows developers to use the language they are most proficient in.

But why does this matter for the XRP Ledger? Well, according to Avery, integrating Codius’ technology would introduce off-chain smart contract execution, which would reduce the load on the XRP Ledger and allow it to continue processing transactions at high speed.

Codius also comes with cross-ledger compatibility, which would allow dApps on the XRP Ledger to interact with those from multiple other blockchains.

“Codius’s blockchain-agnostic approach enhances versatility, enabling complex decentralized applications and cross-chain operations,” he noted.

Other benefits would include flexible smart contracts and a scalable application layer that distributes the computation load.

He added:  “Codius enhances the XRP Ledger ecosystem by providing off-chain smart contract execution, preserving and potentially increasing XRP’s TPS, and opening up new use cases through interoperability. It’s a significant step forward for the XRP Ledger.”

XRP trades at $0.524, gaining 2% in the past day

CENTRALIZED STABLECOINS MAY POSE RISK TO DEFI — CURVE FINANCE FOUNDER

As centralized US dollar-pegged stablecoins continue to gain popularity, the potential for regulatory capture has grown.

The potential risks of overcollateralized stablecoins have recently come into sharper focus. Michael Egorov, founder of the decentralized borrowing and lending platform Curve Finance, argued that these risks are not necessarily the reserve-related risks commonly noted by investors but geopolitical risks posed by government regulation.

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Egorov said that the underlying assets backing collateralized stablecoins, including cash deposits in financial institutions and government securities such as United States Treasury bills, are vulnerable to asset freezes and seizures.

The Curve founder’s answer to these potential sanctions is to achieve maximum decentralization through algorithmic stablecoins, which do not rely on physical cash deposits or short-term cash equivalents:

“If you have something totally decentralized, then it is just software running onchain autonomously, so you cannot really do anything to it, and, in principle, it's still fully trackable.”

“For [the US dollar], keys are never yours. So, that’s a problem,” Egorov stated, before asserting that truly decentralized stablecoins, provide “algorithmic assurance” to investors that their funds won’t evaporate due to asset seizures.

Stablecoins backed by physical fiat assets lack any such guarantee, Egorov told Cointelegraph.

Stablecoins and growing geopolitical risk
The geopolitical risks posed by centralized stablecoins outlined by the Curve Finance founder are a growing concern among industry executives and lawmakers.

On Oct. 25, The Wall Street Journal published a story claiming that USDt
issuer Tether was under investigation by US authorities for allegedly breaking Anti-Money Laundering laws and US sanctions.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino denied the claims and outlined the company's reserve assets backing the USDT stablecoin.

During a recent appearance at the Plan B event in Lugano, Switzerland, the Tether CEO also argued that the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) poses systemic risks for crypto and financial institutions due to banking reserve requirements.

Ardoino explained that the MiCA regulations require stablecoin issuers to hold at least 60% of their deposits in regulated banks, which can lend 90% of those assets to clients and create significant deposit risk for stablecoin firms in the event of bankruptcy or bank failure.

MikeCristo8: US Treasuries are Being Recycled into Gold

Tuesday Oct. 29, 2024

I don’t think it’s a gold reset.

I think it’s a Commodities exchange are the real BRICS currency.

*SILVER
*PLATINUM
*COPPER
*PALLADIUM
Corn
Grain
Wheat
Soybean

The fiat system is collapsing. China is selling.

Basically mbridge just shut down the dollar through SWIFT. So the BIS is blocking non-dollar payments.

This is what the New Development Bank is for. To Override SWIFT.

Basically mbridge is blocking all dollars from flowing to the BRICS countries.

Mbridge was always going to be a tool to shut down the dollar in global finance. The BIS is just now figuring it out.

BRICS trade. It’s a barter system. You’re trading commodities & goods which can then settle with local currencies at an agreed upon change rate.

BRICS doesn’t have a bond market, don’t need one.

The G7 currencies will fail because the world is no longer trading credit.

This is important. U.S. Treasuries are being recycled into gold.

From @LukeGromen: "Gold has diverged v. oil, v. 10y US real rates, v. LT UST futures, v. western gold ETF inventories, and v. the USD, and yet western consensus continues to miss what is happening here: BRICS net surpluses [more than $780 billion in 2023] are being recycled into gold. How high will gold prices be when western consensus finally understands this?"

Janet Yellen is setting up the banks as the fall guy for when this goes down.

Bloomberg Markets:  US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that fraud in the banking system is becoming a huge problem

Walkingstick This base currency they are now teaching the Iraqi citizens about in the hybrid monetary plan is considered the domestic currency which is the IQD.  In this case the lower notes that will be coming out.  Base currency means the Iraqi dinar it is a first currency in a currency pairing...The IQD will be the dominant currency in Iraq and on the Forex due to its pairing.  That step is the float to reach the real effective exchange rate. 

Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY: Mr Sammy [FRANK: Who runs one of the banks in Iraq] said all that is needed at this point is a new rate to push forward the remaining things.  The budget has not been released yet but it will be.  Then the HCL also needs to be voted and we need the Speaker of the House.  All of these things are working together.  To see that budget and the HCL we're going to need to see the Real Effective Exchange Rate.  FRANK:  The Real Effective Exchange Rate will come when it starts to float.  That's part two of the 'hybrid monetary reform plan'. Part One is to give you purchasing power.  I agree with Mr. Sammy...there are major events that are coming to an intersection that will collide with great force for your new exchange rate and currency.

Fed Is ‘Too Powerful, Too Prominent, Too Political’, Why Dollar Needs Gold Link Back – Judy Shelton

Kitco News:  10-29-2024

Dr. Judy Shelton, former economic advisor to President Donald Trump and author of Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money, warns that America’s growing debt and dependence on fiat currency could erode global trust in the dollar.

 In an interview with Jeremy Szafron, Anchor at Kitco News, Dr. Shelton presents her bold vision for a financially stable America. She critiques Federal Reserve policies, pointing out that they have driven wealth inequality and fueled inflation. Dr. Shelton advocates for a return to sound money by restoring some link between the U.S. dollar and gold.

She explains how Treasury bonds convertible to gold could offer a solution and reinforce the dollar’s position as the global reserve currency.
