Gold’s Not Rising, Currencies Are Failing | David Morgan
Liberty and Finance: 11-21-2024
David Morgan delves into the recent fluctuations in the gold market, explaining how geopolitical tensions, such as the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, have driven gold prices up as investors seek safe-haven assets.
Morgan touches on the potential for a gold-backed BRICS currency, warning that despite this movement, the global financial system is still largely driven by the same political forces, whether in the East or West.
Ultimately, he highlights the importance of gold as a hedge against the collapse of fiat currencies, stressing that while geopolitical events may cause short-term market fluctuations, the long-term trend remains focused on the devaluation of paper money.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
CONGRESSMAN THAT LED SAB 121 HOUSE VOTE, VOWS TO OVERTURN CRYPTO CUSTODY RULE
Earlier this year, both the House and Senate voted to overturn the SEC’s SAB 121 accounting rule that prevented banks from providing crypto custody solutions. However, President Biden used his veto so the rule still stands. Mike Flood, the Congressman that led the bipartisan House vote, has vowed to work with a new SEC Chair to ditch SAB 121 for good.
However, Flood’s work wasn’t entirely wasted. The dual votes highlighted the issue that forcing banks to put assets under custody on their balance sheet is both unconventional and affects their compliance with bank balance sheet rules.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
CONGRESSMAN THAT LED SAB 121 HOUSE VOTE, VOWS TO OVERTURN CRYPTO CUSTODY RULE
Earlier this year, both the House and Senate voted to overturn the SEC’s SAB 121 accounting rule that prevented banks from providing crypto custody solutions. However, President Biden used his veto so the rule still stands. Mike Flood, the Congressman that led the bipartisan House vote, has vowed to work with a new SEC Chair to ditch SAB 121 for good.
However, Flood’s work wasn’t entirely wasted. The dual votes highlighted the issue that forcing banks to put assets under custody on their balance sheet is both unconventional and affects their compliance with bank balance sheet rules.
As a result, it makes it prohibitively expensive for banks to provide crypto custody and inhibits innovation on the tokenization front.
Since then, the SEC has softened its stance a little. Banks can apply for exceptions and it has granted them. That’s not a practical solution, because banks have to consult the SEC on most deals.
“SAB 121, despite widespread opposition, works effectively as a regulation even though it never went through the normal Administrative Procedures Act process required for one,” Congressman Flood wrote.
“I look forward to working with the next SEC Chair to rollback SAB 121.” He didn’t pull his punches about SEC Chair Gensler. “Whether the chair leaves on his own or President Trump delivers his famous line on January 20, 2025, there’s an incredible opportunity for the new administration to turn the page on the Gensler era.”
“It should be no surprise that Gensler opposed the digital assets regulatory framework that passed the House earlier this year on a bipartisan basis. 71 Democrats joined House Republicans to pass this common sense framework.
Even though the Democrat-led Senate has refused to take it up, it represents a breakthrough moment for cryptocurrency and is likely to inform the work of the unified Republican government as the next Congress begins in January.”

CFTC COMMISSIONER URGES US CRYPTO POLICY REFORMS
The CFTC’s Summer Mersinger advocated structured crypto regulations and urged the industry to engage with the incoming US administration.
Speaking at the North American Blockchain Summit on Nov. 21, CFTC Commissioner Summer Mersinger discussed the need for standard US crypto-related policies through notice and comment regulation.
The United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has played a role in implementing the current “regulation by enforcement” strategy alongside the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the outgoing administration, as evidenced by recent charges against Uniswap Labs.
Mersinger also said recent litigation against a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) required the CFTC to seek a court verdict for entity classification. In this case, the CFTC wanted to classify the DAO as a corporation or association:
“I really started to get uncomfortable with this idea that we were kind of setting some sort of policy through our enforcement cases and through going to court. To me, how you’re going to treat an entity that’s a policy question.”
Need for regulated relief for the crypto industry
Mersinger said that while crypto entities, including decentralized finance (DeFi), are often charged under existing categories and expected to operate under the same laws, there is no provision for them to be officially registered. She added:
“This is really tricky settlements because the information we share publicly with our enforcement settlements really doesn’t offer a lot of guidance for anyone who’s trying to do the right thing.”
As a result, Uniswap tried to do the right thing but ended up attracting more charges, Mersinger said. Still, Uniswap settled with the CFTC for a “very small fine.”
Despite its small size compared with the other agencies such as the SEC, Mersinger said that the CFTC is the “ideal regulator for the cryptocurrency spot market” as it can implement major legislative changes fairly quickly without disruptions to the market.
New laws can help crypto companies fight wrongful litigation
Moreover, she supported the introduction of new laws and regulations for crypto firms despite her predominantly conservative stance:
“What we’re seeing right now is that without those laws, you have agencies like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) who can come in and create chaos and bring charges where maybe it doesn’t fit.”
Mersinger also recommended that the crypto industry start engaging with the new administration as soon as its leadership has been identified. “Don’t be afraid to start knocking on doors on day one because I think it’s critical to start” the conversations early on, she said.

Gold’s Surge Against Fiat Currencies as Preparation for GCR and RV
Gold’s Surge Against Fiat Currencies as Preparation for GCR and RV
Awake-In-3D November 21, 2024
The transition to a gold-backed financial system is accelerating, with gold’s surge leading the charge against weakening fiat currencies.
Gold is steadily rising as a dominant force in the global financial system, signaling transformative changes ahead. As fiat currencies falter under the weight of inflation, debt, and instability, gold’s strength is no coincidence. Gold’s surge is not just a reaction to market conditions but a clear preparation for a Global Currency Reset (GCR) and Revaluation (RV).

Gold’s Surge Against Fiat Currencies as Preparation for GCR and RV
Awake-In-3D November 21, 2024
The transition to a gold-backed financial system is accelerating, with gold’s surge leading the charge against weakening fiat currencies.
Gold is steadily rising as a dominant force in the global financial system, signaling transformative changes ahead. As fiat currencies falter under the weight of inflation, debt, and instability, gold’s strength is no coincidence. Gold’s surge is not just a reaction to market conditions but a clear preparation for a Global Currency Reset (GCR) and Revaluation (RV). This pivotal transition to gold-backed currencies offers a glimpse of a more stable and equitable monetary future.
The Historic Relationship Between Gold and Fiat Currencies
Gold has long been regarded as a universal hedge against economic turmoil. Historically, fiat currencies have operated inversely to gold; stronger fiat currencies typically suppress demand for gold, while higher Treasury yields raise the opportunity cost of holding the metal. Yet, as noted in recent market trends, this inverse relationship is breaking down. Even as the US Dollar Index ($DXY) and the 10-year Treasury yields climb, gold’s surge is defying expectations.
This resilience suggests that gold is re-establishing its role as the ultimate measure of monetary value. As fiat currencies around the globe grapple with inflation, debt burdens, and economic instability, the idea of revaluing national currencies against an asset-backed standard—where gold plays a central role—has re-emerged as a serious consideration.
Gold’s Surge is a Sign of a Global Currency Transition
Inflationary Pressures and the Role of Gold
One driving factor behind gold’s sustained strength is the market’s anticipation of rising inflation. Recent indicators, such as a 1-month annualized PCE inflation rate approaching 4%, indicate that the current wave of inflation is far from over. Traditionally, gold serves as a hedge against inflation, but in this context, gold’s surge also serves as a benchmark for the diminishing purchasing power of fiat currencies.
By maintaining its value while fiat currencies face devaluation, gold effectively re-establishes its worth relative to these currencies. This recalibration hints at an eventual restructuring of currency systems to include gold-backed currencies, a foundational component of the GCR.
Trade Wars and Global Economic Realignments
The rising tensions between the United States and China, marked by anticipated new trade tariffs, have also bolstered gold’s appeal. Trade wars destabilize fiat currencies by introducing volatility and reducing investor confidence. The last major trade conflict in 2019 caused a significant shift in global currency dynamics, and the current trajectory indicates similar disruptions.
Gold’s surge highlights its increasing role as a stabilizing asset during geopolitical disruptions. As nations consider realigning their currencies with tangible assets to protect against such volatility, gold-backed currencies become a natural choice. These dynamics echo preparations for the RV, where currencies are revalued based on tangible reserves and economic fundamentals.
US Deficit Spending and Its Implications
The United States is currently running a deficit of nearly 10% of GDP, levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis. This surge in borrowing has flooded bond markets with supply, driving yields higher and causing uncertainty about the long-term sustainability of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
Gold’s concurrent rise indicates that markets are already pricing in a loss of confidence in fiat currencies tied to ballooning debt. As deficits climb and the need for monetary reform grows, gold’s surge reinforces the likelihood of a move toward gold-backed currencies. This transformation aligns with the broader goals of the GCR and RV: to stabilize global monetary systems and restore trust in the value of currencies.
Fiat Currencies Revaluing Against Gold
The current market dynamics suggest that many fiat currencies are implicitly undergoing a devaluation process relative to gold. While this shift is not yet formalized, it reflects an acknowledgment of gold’s enduring value in contrast to the declining worth of paper money. This trend is particularly evident in:
Emerging Markets: Nations with struggling currencies, such as Argentina and Turkey, have seen gold demand skyrocket as citizens seek to protect their wealth from inflation and devaluation.
Central Bank Policies: Central banks worldwide are increasing their gold reserves, a move that signals a strategic pivot toward asset-backed financial systems. Countries like Russia, China, and India have been particularly aggressive in their gold acquisitions, preparing for a potential rebalancing of the global currency hierarchy.
As these patterns unfold, fiat currencies are effectively being measured and adjusted against gold’s surge, setting the stage for an eventual revaluation within the GCR framework.
Gold’s Surge and the Path Toward Gold-Backed Currencies
The notion of asset-backed currencies, particularly those tied to gold, has gained traction in recent years. Under this system, fiat currencies derive their value from tangible reserves, providing a more stable and transparent monetary foundation. Such a shift addresses many of the systemic issues plaguing the current fiat system, including unchecked debt accumulation, inflationary pressures, and currency manipulation.
In the context of the RV, this transition recalibrates national currencies to reflect their gold and tangible asset reserves. For example:
Nations with substantial gold reserves, like the United States and China, will see their currencies strengthened.
Countries with weaker reserves may experience devaluations but gain stability through a more balanced and equitable system.
The Implications of a Gold-Backed Reset
As gold continues its historic run, its role in the global monetary system is being reconsidered. Whether through formal policy changes or implicit market adjustments, fiat currencies are realigning against gold’s surge in preparation for what could be a transformative GCR and RV.
The benefits of such a reset are manifold:
Stabilized Currency Values: Anchoring currencies to gold reduces the volatility and inflationary risks inherent in fiat systems.
Restored Global Trust: An asset-backed system enhances transparency and trust in international monetary policies.
Enhanced Economic Equilibrium: By basing currency values on tangible reserves, the global economy achieves a more equitable and sustainable balance.
The Bottom Line
The rising price of gold is more than just a reaction to market conditions; it signals deeper shifts in the global financial order. As fiat currencies lose ground to inflation, debt, and geopolitical uncertainty, gold’s surge demonstrates its position as a definitive measure of monetary value.
In the context of the GCR and RV, this trend indicates that a transition to gold-backed currencies is not just probable but imminent. The revaluation of fiat currencies against gold represents a pivotal step toward restoring stability, trust, and fairness in the global monetary system. Gold’s historic strength today is poised to redefine the financial landscape for years to come.

Tishwash: Because it contains a political aspect.. Parliamentary Wealth: The Oil and Gas Law faces difficulties
Member of the Parliamentary Oil, Gas and Resources Committee, Ali Abdul Sattar, confirmed today, Thursday, that the Oil and Gas Law has been facing difficulties since 2008.
Abdul Sattar told Al-Maalouma Agency, “The oil and gas law faces difficulties within the House of Representatives because it contains a political aspect between the region and the center.”
He added that "the law regulates financial matters and oil management for all governorates, especially the governorates producing oil and gas," noting that "the reason for the law's suspension is that it contains points of contention with the region."
He explained that "the law is still in the government's registry and has not been sent to the House of Representatives, despite the ongoing dialogues and discussions between the Baghdad government and the regional government."
He added, "The dispute is still ongoing between Baghdad and Erbil over the oil file, and we are waiting for it to be resolved and for the law to be sent to the House of Representatives for discussion and approval." link

Tishwash: Economist: Government should exploit rising oil prices and implement sound financial management
An economic expert called on the government to exploit the circumstances of rising oil prices and implement sound financial management.
Rashid Al-Saadi told Al-Furat News Agency: "The rise in global oil prices is due to the impact of political circumstances. With the intensification of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the challenges facing the region, in addition to the decision of the International Criminal Court regarding Netanyahu and his Minister of War, and Israel's threats to Iraq and the pressure in the region, oil importing companies are being prompted to take precautions and be careful, and the political and security factor is the decisive and influential factor in the rise in oil prices."
He explained that "Iraq's benefit from this rise is that every dollar in which oil rises serves Iraq by no less than a billion dollars annually and strengthens its budget according to the size of its production."
Al-Saadi stressed, "The government must exploit the circumstances and the rise, because as soon as there is stability in the near or distant future, oil prices may drop significantly. This is a call for the government to manage the state's finances in a rational manner." link
************
Tishwash: Dollar-Dinar Exchange Rate Gap: Causes and Treatments
Iraq relies in its monetary policy to monitor the change in the value of its dinar against the dollar on a fixed exchange rate peg system, as the overall policy aims
to reduce the gap between the official and actual exchange rates and stabilize it close to the target exchange rate, curbing inflation, stimulating markets, commercial, financial and investment transactions, and stimulating growth.
Therefore, reducing the exchange gap at the target exchange rate level is one of the prominent issues facing the economic policy maker in Iraq in order to limit the major repercussions that go beyond the economic scope and crystallize significantly in the social stability of the country.
This gap becomes more evident through the variation in the dollar exchange rates and the fluctuation of the real value of the dinar, either positively generating revenue or negatively generating additional costs that cause repercussions on purchasing power without taking into account individuals and economic units, negatively affecting local and foreign savings and investment. The more the gap varies, the greater the economic cost of investment and the higher the levels of inflation, which increases the suffering of the limited-income family sector.
It has become known that the size of the Iraqi economy's GDP depends very heavily on the oil dollar, which is the main source of the Ministry of Finance's resources, instead of the non-oil dollar, which is called the non-oil export dollar, which has very low flexibility, resulting in a sharp decline in credit deposits in the accounts of traders exporting goods in Iraqi banks in exporting countries.
This dependence exposes the exchange gap to fluctuations in the global oil market. When global oil prices rise, we witness a decrease in the exchange gap due to the increase in the supply of the dollar, while in contrast, during periods of economic recession or when oil prices fall, the gap increases significantly when the government is unable to provide an adequate supply of dollars in the official window for buying and selling dollars. In such cases, traders are forced to search for alternatives through the parallel market, which exacerbates price pressures on the weakest groups.
Referring to the reasons that widened the exchange gap, they are multiple. In addition to what was mentioned above, the reasons can be traced according to the axis of indirect reasons that are linked to the country's trade policy and the problems of border crossings related to dollar smuggling, including those related to activating the role of crossings as an authentic source of revenue. There are also indirect reasons that have a political and security nature and medium- and long-term repercussions on the movement of money and investment.
While economic and monetary reasons stand out at the forefront of direct or technical reasons, some of them are related to the nature of the banking system and the extent of its credit capacity and the level of banking compliance with the monetary and credit conditions of the Federal Reserve, which affects the levels of supply of the petrodollar.
Therefore, we find that many international banks refuse to work as correspondent banks due to the low credit rating of our banking system as a result of smuggling operations, money laundering and sanctions that affect a third of Iraqi banks. Therefore, we find that they do not stand up in this regard, except for banks that have external partnerships with Arab banking capital. They derive international acceptance from the quality of the credit rating of those countries, which facilitates the process of opening accounts with correspondent banks. Therefore, there is fear that pressures on the dollar exchange rate will increase, widening the gap.
It is also noted that among the technical reasons that led to the widening of the gap are the successive changes in the official exchange rate threshold taken by successive government administrations.
The gap witnessed a transition at the end of 2020 from the stable situation in which the gap between the official exchange rate of 0.118 dinars per dollar and the actual exchange rate of 1,200 dinars narrowed, to raise the threshold in 2021 to 1,450 due to the decision of the Central Bank at the time. Then the threshold rose this time after the Council of Ministers approved in February 2023 the decision of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Iraq to amend the official exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar, to the threshold of 1,300 dinars per dollar.
By following the parallel dollar exchange rate in November of this year 2024, we find that it has reached the limits of 1500 dinars per dollar and exceeded it, and that the Central Bank’s selling price for cash dollars, transfers, documentary credits, and international settlements for electronic cards is at the threshold of 1300 dinars per dollar. Therefore, it is concluded that the gap in the dollar exchange rate against the dinar is still widening despite the pressures of the Federal Reserve and the Central Bank’s efforts towards compliance.
Therefore, dealing with the gap between official and actual spending should require comprehensive, integrated policies that target technical and non-technical treatments within medium- and long-term planning, the most important of which are:
Reforming the structure of the banking system, developing its efficiency, and raising the levels of its credit capacity and the flexibility of its banking compliance.
Developing tools for targeting inflation and exchange rates, which would help reduce the exchange gap and achieve price stability.
Implementing solid reforms in the financial and monetary sectors to enhance the flexibility of banking performance in accordance with the SWIFT global financial settlement system.
Coordination between fiscal and monetary policies to achieve the target exchange rate by rationalizing government spending and tightening control over the money supply.
Economic policy should enhance transparency in all financial and banking operations, by implementing clear and strict control systems to contain opportunities for corruption and exploitation of the exchange gap.
Deepening the mechanisms of border control and combating administrative corruption to increase total revenue.
Government authorities must maintain and enhance security and political stability to contribute to building confidence between local and foreign investors on the one hand and the investment environment on the other, which will stimulate further stability and growth.
Formulating an economic policy that targets technical solutions to expand the non-oil production base, and serious planning on how to diversify sources of income for the overall economy. The path of developing the agricultural and industrial sectors will be the decisive factor in reducing imports and stimulating the growth of fixed capital accumulation for the private sector. Hence, the demand for the dollar for consumer import purposes will decrease. link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
INDUSTRY EXECS SEEK POSITIONS ON TRUMP’S CRYPTO ADVISORY COUNCIL
President-elect Trump promised the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin ‘stockpile’ during the Bitcoin 2024 event in Nashville Tennessee.
Industry executives are reportedly seeking a seat at President-elect Donald Trump’s highly-anticipated crypto advisory council, which will be responsible for crafting regulatory policy and expected to establish a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
According to a Reuters report, Coinbase, Ripple Labs, and venture capital firm a16z are among some of the firms looking to join the council.
Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
INDUSTRY EXECS SEEK POSITIONS ON TRUMP’S CRYPTO ADVISORY COUNCIL
President-elect Trump promised the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin ‘stockpile’ during the Bitcoin 2024 event in Nashville Tennessee.
Industry executives are reportedly seeking a seat at President-elect Donald Trump’s highly-anticipated crypto advisory council, which will be responsible for crafting regulatory policy and expected to establish a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
According to a Reuters report, Coinbase, Ripple Labs, and venture capital firm a16z are among some of the firms looking to join the council.
The council may be nestled under the White House’s National Economic Council, but this is not certain, and the council may operate as a separate, standalone entity.
Speaking at the North American Blockchain Summit on Nov. 21, Bitcoin advocate and co-founder of the Satoshi Action Fund Dennis Porter explained the importance of establishing a Bitcoin strategic reserve in the United States:
"A great way for us to protect ourselves from outside influence — undue influence from our foreign adversaries — is to be in the market buying and selling Bitcoin, acting as a shock absorber for all the incredible Bitcoin miners that we have here in this country."
Porter continued by comparing the establishment of a Bitcoin strategic reserve to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and the US government’s acquisition of Alaska in 1867 — a point previously stated by MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor.
“We bought these things for pennies on the dollar,” Porter remarked and argued that the US has the same option to do the same today by adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset before other countries beat the US to the punch.
The race is on for a Bitcoin strategic reserve
Senator Cynthia Lummis — who introduced the Bitcoin strategic reserve bill to the Senate earlier in 2024 — recently argued that the Treasury Department should convert some of its gold to Bitcoin to seed the strategic reserve with assets.
Pro-Bitcoin investor and asset manager Anthony Pompliano also remarked that the Bitcoin race between sovereign powers is underway in a Nov. 16 appearance on Yahoo Finance, and urged the US government to “Get as much Bitcoin onto the balance sheet as possible.”
However, not all industry participants are optimistic about the Bitcoin strategic reserve being established under the incoming Trump administration.
Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz previously opined that he believes a Bitcoin strategic reserve is unlikely under a Trump administration, but also forecasted a $500,000 Bitcoin price tag if the strategic reserve is founded in the near term.

CHARLES SCHWAB TO ENTER SPOT CRYPTO MARKET ONCE REGULATIONS IMPROVE
Incoming CEO Rick Wurster emphasized readiness to capitalize on evolving regulations and anticipates significant industry impact.
Charles Schwab Corp. is gearing up for a foray into the spot crypto market, signaling a strategic pivot for the financial giant in anticipation of regulatory clarity.
Incoming CEO Rick Wurster disclosed the company’s plans during a Bloomberg Radio interview on Nov. 21, emphasizing Schwab’s readiness to capitalize on evolving regulations.
Wurster said:
“We will get into spot crypto when the regulatory environment changes, and we do anticipate that it will change. We’re getting ready for that eventuality.”
His comments mark a notable shift for Schwab, which has so far limited its crypto exposure to products like exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and futures.
VanEck’s Matthew Sigel noted that the firm’s entry would be a significant moment for the industry and highlighted Wurster’s admission of regret, who said during the interview:
“I have not bought crypto, and now I feel silly.”
Competition and timing
Schwab’s move comes as competition intensifies among retail-focused investment platforms vying for investor dollars. Rival firms like Robinhood Markets and Interactive Brokers have already integrated spot crypto trading, forcing Schwab to reassess its cautious approach.
The so-called “Trump trade,” fueled by President-elect Donald Trump’s victory and its implications for crypto-friendly policies, has further accelerated the industry’s momentum.
Schwab’s current offerings focus on crypto-linked ETFs and futures contracts, allowing clients indirect exposure to the digital asset market. However, industry observers have long speculated that the firm would eventually embrace direct trading to remain competitive.
Adding to the speculation, Sigel hinted at behind-the-scenes activity, stating that a prominent crypto asset manager recently approached Schwab to pitch a partnership.
While details remain unclear, such collaborations could provide Schwab with a quicker and less risky entry into the spot market, leveraging established expertise to navigate operational and regulatory challenges.
Broader institutional shift
Shwab’s evolving stance mirrors a broader shift in institutional attitudes toward digital assets. With regulatory clarity potentially on the horizon, major players in traditional finance are increasingly exploring direct crypto exposure.
The firm’s strategic pivot could position it as a key player in the next wave of crypto adoption, bridging the gap between traditional finance and the burgeoning digital economy.
For now, Schwab appears to be laying the groundwork, aiming to meet investor demand while mitigating risks. The timeline for its entry into spot crypto markets, however, hinges on the regulatory landscape and the firm’s ability to execute its plans effectively.

Clare: Iraqi Parliament Speaker visits Erbil

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that its 33rd Chair, Gary Gensler, will step down from the Commission effective at 12:00 pm on January 20, 2025. Chair Gensler began his tenure on April 17, 2021, in the immediate aftermath of the GameStop market events.

CFTC ADVISORY SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDS TOKENIZED COLLATERAL WITH NO RULE CHANGES NEEDED
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has a Global Markets Advisory Committee (GMAC) made up of industry participants. Today the subcommittee on digital assets voted in favor (27-0) of three recommendations to adopt DLT and tokenized assets as collateral for margin.
The proposals would need to be adopted by the full GMAC Committee and it’s up to the CFTC to decide whether it proceeds.
The problem addressed by tokenized collateral
Stepping back, the CFTC is the primary regulator for derivatives markets. Typically derivatives require the posting of margin to cover the risk of price swings. Initial margin is provided at the outset, with variation margin during the lifetime of the derivative.
Non cash collateral is already allowed by the CFTC but is not used much for variation margin, because moving assets involves multiple intermediaries and hence delays. Plus, assets can only be transferred during office opening hours.
By contrast, tokenized assets are directly transferrable 24/7. The ability to quickly transfer tokenized assets for use as variation margin reduces counterparty and other risks. Plus, it saves money by removing the need to liquidate assets to meet margin calls.
During market panics, the need to post additional cash margin often requires selling collateral that increases market volatility.
Collateral mobility is one of the killer apps for tokenization. Beyond the CFTC and derivatives, there are already significant industry initiatives targeting collateral mobility, including HQLAᵡ, JP Morgan’s Tokenized Collateral Network, and Broadridge’s DLR which supports repo and Treasury tokenization.
The Digital Asset subcommittee proposals
The GMAC Digital Assets Markets subcommittee believes that tokenized assets could be used for margin without the need for regulatory changes. Likewise the use of DLT as books and records (without tokenization), should also not require new legislation.
Given non cash collateral is already eligible for margin, it also doesn’t require changes in eligibility rules. Committee members also concluded that existing policies and procedures for managing risks should be sufficient to support DLT.
The assets they had in mind as collateral would be World Bank bonds, government securities, corporate debt, money market funds and gold. Current CFTC criteria for non cash collateral is that the assets are liquid, hold value and lack correlation to counterparty or portfolio risks.
The Global Head of DTCC Digital Assets, Nadine Chakar, commented that “This is an opportunity for us to be able to increase the velocity of collateral in the marketplace without any changes to rules and guidance.”
DRW has been operating a significant digital asset business for years. DRW’s Chris Zuehlke said it has seen the benefits of the ability to move assets in real time 24/7 in practice. He said the company has a different view on risk where there’s a bank wire involved versus real time settlement with a DLT-based asset.
“We often times feel much more confident in our risk management processes when we know we can have a 24/7 real time settlement capability with these counterparties,” said Mr Zuehlke.
“I think that will transfer very directly to the collateral management side for derivatives based businesses under the CFTC’s purview. And I’m really excited to see that evolution take place.”
The risk of not proceeding
Christopher Perkins from Coinfund is another subcommittee member strongly in favor. He spent a large part of his career at Citi, latterly as Global Co-Head, Futures, Clearing and FX Prime Brokerage.
There’s been much criticism about a lack of technology neutrality with DLT, with extra hurdles often put in place. He argued for the reverse: that market participants should be incentivized to move to tokenized collateral.
He considers the level of ongoing Herstatt risk in the marketplace as too high. “The risk here is being able to tolerate the very inefficient settlement processes today,” said Mr Perkins. “We’re living in a world now where it takes days to settle Yen. Completely unacceptable.” He advocated for using stablecoins for variation margin.
The potential figures involved are massive. Exchange traded derivatives are small fry compared to over the counter (OTC). Global exchange traded derivatives have a notional open interest of $88 trillion versus $742 trillion for OTC. To put that in context, global stock markets total $124 trillion.
Even if the full GMAC committee proposes to advance the recommendation, the CFTC might be slow to adopt. During today’s meeting, Commissioner Pham noted that the CFTC has not yet implemented a recommendation from November 2023. That one aimed to harmonize rules relating to money market funds as eligible collateral.

China Sell 44% of US Treasury, will US Economy Collapse?
China Sell 44% of US Treasury, will US Economy Collapse?
Fastepo: 11-20-2024
Recently, news broke that China has sold approximately 44% of its holdings in US Treasury securities, sending ripples through financial markets and sparking a wave of speculation. For years, China has been one of the largest holders of US debt, with its purchases often seen as a sign of confidence in the US economy.
The sudden divestment raises questions about potential impacts on the US economy as well as the broader geopolitical implications. Let’s explore what this development means and whether it could lead to a collapse of the US economy.

Fastepo: 11-20-2024
Recently, news broke that China has sold approximately 44% of its holdings in US Treasury securities, sending ripples through financial markets and sparking a wave of speculation. For years, China has been one of the largest holders of US debt, with its purchases often seen as a sign of confidence in the US economy.
The sudden divestment raises questions about potential impacts on the US economy as well as the broader geopolitical implications. Let’s explore what this development means and whether it could lead to a collapse of the US economy.
Before diving into the implications of China’s actions, it’s important to understand what US Treasury securities are. These are government bonds issued by the US Department of the Treasury to finance government spending. They are considered one of the safest investments due to the stability and creditworthiness of the US government. Investors, including foreign countries like China, purchase these securities as a way to earn interest while also holding assets perceived as low-risk.
While the sale of US Treasuries may sound alarming, declaring that the US economy will collapse is an overstatement. Here are several factors to consider:
When a major holder like China sells a significant portion of its Treasuries, it can lead to an increase in interest rates. Higher interest rates could make borrowing more expensive for consumers and businesses, possibly slowing down economic growth. However, the US economy is more resilient than ever, with a diverse financial market that allows for adjustments.
The US Treasury market is highly liquid and extends beyond foreign governments. American investors, pension funds, and other international buyers can step in to absorb any sell-off. The US dollar remains the world’s dominant reserve currency, and demand for safe assets is unlikely to evaporate entirely, even with China’s reduced involvement.
Economic interdependence means that both the US and China are invested in a stable global economy. A drastic destabilization of the US economy would have severe repercussions for economies worldwide, including China’s. This mutual reliance can lead to more cautious strategies from major global players.
Investor sentiment is also influenced by geopolitical events. While China’s sale of Treasuries may cause short-term market volatility, savvy investors often look long-term. Positive economic fundamentals in the US, including low unemployment rates and continued innovation, can maintain investor confidence.
In conclusion, while China’s sale of 44% of US Treasury securities raises valid concerns about potential economic impacts, it is not an automatic precursor to a collapse of the US economy. The interconnectedness of the global economy provides a buffer against such drastic scenarios.
It will be critical to monitor how this situation unfolds and to consider the broader economic and geopolitical landscape. The resilience of the US economy, combined with its ability to adapt and innovate, suggests it is far from facing imminent collapse due to changes in foreign holdings.

Tishwash: Al-Ghais: Oil and gas are God’s gift and the world must invest in energy sources without exception
The Secretary-General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Haitham Al-Ghais, stressed on Wednesday that the world must adopt all energy sources without exception.
Al-Ghais said at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) that crude oil and natural gas are “a gift from God,” and that talks on limiting global warming should focus on reducing emissions, not choosing energy sources.
His comments were in line with the opening speech of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who responded to Western criticism of his country's oil and gas industry, also describing these resources as a "gift from God."
"They are actually a gift from God," Al-Ghais, a veteran Kuwaiti oil executive, said in a speech at the conference hosted by Baku, Azerbaijan.
“These resources affect how food is produced, packaged and transported, how medical research is conducted and how medical supplies are manufactured and distributed. I could go on and on with an endless number of examples,” he added.
He pointed out that the world's governments, which set a ceiling for the rise in global temperature during the Paris summit in 2015 of no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial revolution level, can achieve their climate goals without shifting away from oil.
Al-Ghais continued, "The Paris Agreement focuses on reducing emissions, not on choosing energy sources."
OPEC said technologies such as carbon capture could address the climate change impacts of burning fossil fuels link

He added, "The government can strike these mafias with the force of law by directing the supervisory and security agencies against the violators and their continued presence under multiple fronts."
He pointed out that "there are those who manipulate the local dollar markets, and the regulatory bodies must be able to control the big heads that benefit from the continued economic chaos, not the arms."link

BRICS COUNTRIES GAIN INFLUENCE OVER G20
The G20 summit is ongoing in Brazil’s Rio and all the five BRICS countries are a part of the bloc. The world leaders are discussing trade deals and renewing policies at the summit. US President Joe Biden attended the summit but missed out on the photo op on Tuesday.
However, the world leaders retook the photo op placing Biden at the center and standing next to India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to his left and Canada’s Justin Trudeau to his right.
BRICS Influence in G20 Grows
The BRICS countries are having a bigger role in the G20 summit dominating the news cycle and photo ops. The show of unity was on full display making the leaders of Western countries seem like background noise. The show of unity was met with a starkly farcical smile by Biden as leaders clapped and held hands.
“The BRICS countries as a whole are gaining in their role and influence in the G20. This was evident both in Delhi at last year’s summit and in the year before in Indonesia. And here (Rio de Janeiro) it was especially clear,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in a press conference.
During the previous G20 summits, BRICS countries rarely hit the news cycles but the 2024 event has turned things around. The bloc is displaying strength through unions and other trade deals indicating their economy can sustain without the West. The alliance recently sent invitations to 13 new nations to join as ‘Partner countries’
Indonesia accepted the invitation to join BRICS as a ‘Partner countries’ while the G20 summit was ongoing. Indonesian Ambassador to Russia, Jose Antonio Morato Tavares said that Indonesia “will actively contribute to and participate in any initiatives of BRICS. This is a positive development. Now, we are already a BRICS partner state,” he said.

MALAYSIA EXPLORING WHOLESALE CBDC
Two years ago Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) outlined its plans for central bank digital currency (CBDC). At the time it intended to explore wholesale CBDC (wCBDC) in the short term and a general purpose retail CBDC this year.
However, during a digital payments event yesterday it disclosed that the emphasis is solely on wholesale CBDC. It believes retail payments are already well served by existing systems.
Currently it is building expertise, performing preparatory work and getting to grips with the technology.
“If we were to issue wholesale CBDC in the future, we would know what it takes and what policy implications we need to bear in mind,” the central bank said, as reported by the Sun Malaysia.
The central bank envisages a wholesale CBDc as supporting interbank settlement for tokenized deposits both domestically and for cross border payments. International payments have been of interest for some time.
BNM was a participant in Singapore’s multi-CBDC Project Dunbar, and is an observer of mBridge, the cross border CBDC project that is currently at the minimum viable product stage. Active mBridge participants include the central banks of China, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and the UAE.
Despite its preparations, the central bank has no immediate plans to issue one. It will continue working on wCBDC and DLT during 2024-25. Several Asian economies are currently exploring a wholesale CBDC to support tokenized deposits. They include the central banks of Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.
Ledger Insights recently released a report exploring tokenized deposits and bank stablecoins, highlighting more than 70 initiatives.

The EBS alert will be activated globally but in phases. Depending on your location, you might get it slightly earlier or later, but make no mistake—it’s coming. The phased rollout will prevent the Deepstate from reacting and catch them off-guard. By the time the signal hits every device, the Earth Alliance will have moved to the next stage.
The EBS broadcast could (but not necessarily) last up to 10 days, depending on ground conditions. During this time, there will be no internet, no social media, no TV, no mainstream news. Stock up on food, water, and supplies—you won’t be able to access stores or services during this period.
The Deepstate’s financial institutions will collapse. The Quantum Financial System (QFS) will replace the corrupt system, marking the greatest wealth transfer in history. Banks, stock markets, and fiat currencies will be obliterated, replaced by a fair system that serves the people.

A NEW FRONTIER: COURT AUTHORIZES SERVICE OF PROCESS THROUGH NFT AIRDROP
In a landmark decision highlighting the unique aspects of blockchain technology, an S.D.N.Y. Bankruptcy Judge ruled in favor of Celsius’s motion for alternative service, whereby Celsius sought to provide legal service by airdopping non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to anonymous defendants’ digital asset wallets.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
A NEW FRONTIER: COURT AUTHORIZES SERVICE OF PROCESS THROUGH NFT AIRDROP
In a landmark decision highlighting the unique aspects of blockchain technology, an S.D.N.Y. Bankruptcy Judge ruled in favor of Celsius’s motion for alternative service, whereby Celsius sought to provide legal service by airdopping non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to anonymous defendants’ digital asset wallets.
Judge Approves Celsius’s NFT Airdrop for Legal Service
In the wake of the cryptocurrency exchange’s insolvency, its bankruptcy estate filed suit seeking to void allegedly fraudulent transfers and recover additional funds for its creditors.
Due to the pseudonymous nature of the technology, however, Celsius has thus far been unable to identify the owners of the wallets connected to the relevant transfers.
As a result, the Litigation Administrator designed a novel solution for an alternative method of service. Celsius proposed to airdrop NFTs that include a hyperlink to a website containing the complaint and other relevant legal documents to the wallet addresses in question.
To ensure the NFTs are properly served, Celsius will have FTI Consulting confirm the wallets receive the NFTs on-chain, and record the exact date and time the NFTs are opened. FTI will also monitor website traffic to ensure the links are opened by actual humans rather than automated bots.
Furthermore, FTI Consulting confirmed that it traced the transfers to the wallets in question, that the wallets have been active since the transfers, and that the same individuals likely remain in control of the wallets.
Alternative methods of service are generally permitted if the statutory methods of service are “impracticable.” According to New York case law, service is typically impracticable when the plaintiff is unable to locate either a business or home address for the defendant despite diligent efforts to do so.
Alternative methods must also satisfy constitutional due process requirements, which requires service to be reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to give notice to interested parties of the nature of the action against them.
Recognizing that the anonymity of the wallet owners deemed traditional service impracticable, the Court was satisfied the defendants were likely to receive the summons and complaint via the hyperlink in the NFT since the NFT was being sent to the exact wallets used by the defendants to receive the funds at issue, and the activity could be traced on-chain.
Judge Glenn concluded the NFT airdrop was “the best possible way” to apprise the defendants of the actions against them, and praised Celsius on its “innovative” solution. In terms of service, email addresses pioneered the way for the internet. Wallet addresses just paved the way for blockchain.

SHANGHAI JUDGE SAYS CRYPTOCURRENCY IS A COMMODITY, LEGAL TO OWN
Shanghai Judge Sun Jie calls virtual currency a commodity with property attributes in a commentary on a 2017 business dispute.
A judge in the People’s Court of Songjiang District in Shanghai, China has released an article on the court’s WeChat account about the legality of issuing virtual currency in China. She was commenting on a business dispute dating to 2017, but her opinion sheds light on cryptocurrency’s murky legal status in China.
A virtual commodity with property attributes
An agricultural development company signed a “Blockchain Incubation Agreement” with an investment management company to produce a white paper as the basis for the issuance of a cryptocurrency, paying 300,000 yuan (about $44,400 at the time) for the service.
A year later, no token had been produced, and the investment company said the agricultural company should develop an app before the token could be issued. Instead, the agricultural company sued to recover the money it had paid.
The court ruled that the agreement between the companies envisioned illegal activities, for which both sides were at fault. It ordered the investment company to return 250,000 yuan.
Judge Sun Jie wrote that virtual currency does not have the status of fiat currency, but is rather a virtual commodity with “property attributes.” She stated:
“Although it is not illegal for individuals to simply hold virtual currency, commercial entities cannot participate in virtual currency investment transactions or even issue tokens on their own.”
How banned is crypto in China?
The judge went on to give a lengthy warning about the potential ills of cryptocurrency. For example:
“Virtual currency trading speculation activities such as Bitcoin will not only disrupt the economic and financial order, but also may become a payment and settlement tool for illegal and criminal activities, breeding money laundering, illegal fund-raising, fraud, pyramid schemes and other illegal and criminal activities.”
By “blindly participating in virtual currency transactions,” individuals and enterprises may not have the full protection of the law, the judge concluded. The article reproduces Article 153 of the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China, as it is the relevant legislation to the case.
China ordered virtual currency exchanges to close down in 2017. In 2021, the People’s Bank of China and 10 Chinese government agencies joined forces to tighten control over transactions with virtual currencies. Nonetheless, ownership of crypto was never prohibited.

What’s up with Buffett and his $325 Billion Pile of Cash?
What’s up with Buffett and his $325 Billion Pile of Cash?
November 20, 2024 Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)
Much has been written about Warren Buffett having sold a substantial amount of stocks. And his company, Berkshire Hathaway, is sitting on a record $325 billion cash pile as a result.
Buffett has often said that his preferred holding period for an investment is "forever". So the fact that he has sold so much stock has many observers proclaiming that "Buffett is predicting an imminent stock market crash."
Except that he's not. Buffett is a pretty transparent guy who has never been afraid to speak his mind. If he were predicting a crash, he'd probably say it.

November 20, 2024 Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)
Much has been written about Warren Buffett having sold a substantial amount of stocks. And his company, Berkshire Hathaway, is sitting on a record $325 billion cash pile as a result.
Buffett has often said that his preferred holding period for an investment is "forever". So the fact that he has sold so much stock has many observers proclaiming that "Buffett is predicting an imminent stock market crash."
Except that he's not. Buffett is a pretty transparent guy who has never been afraid to speak his mind. If he were predicting a crash, he'd probably say it.
Besides, Buffett has sold plenty of stocks in the past; this is not an anomaly. In 2022 and 2023, for example, he dumped shares of Chevron, Activision Blizzard, Taiwan Semiconductor, and HP.
This time around he sold off some shares in Apple and Bank of America. But he actually explained WHY-- especially with Apple. And I think his reasoning is worth mentioning.
Buffett explained to a reporter that "We don’t mind paying taxes at Berkshire. And we are paying a 21% federal rate,” which amounted to $5 billion last year.
But he continued, saying that the US federal corporate tax rate "was 35% not long ago, and it’s been 52% in the past. . . With the present fiscal policies, I think that something has to give, and I think that higher taxes are quite likely," i.e. that the government will take "a greater share of your income, or mine, or Berkshire's."
"So if I’m [selling Apple stock] at 21% [tax rates] this year, and we’re doing it at a lot higher percentage later on, I don’t think [shareholders] will actually mind that we sold a little Apple this year.”
This is a critical takeaway.
Nations with enormous debts and deficits can’t live beyond their means forever; Buffett isn't predicting a market crash-- he's predicting higher taxes... that, sooner or later, the federal government is going to have a take a much bigger bite out of people's paychecks.
As I've written before, there's a chance that Buffett's prediction might be wrong. It IS still possible for the US to get back on the right track-- a combination of government efficiency, spending cuts, de-regulation, and a technology (AI) fueled productivity boom could generate such an economic boom that the country COULD grow its way out of debt without having to resort to higher taxes (or inflation).
But the new administration will have to get moving immediately. Otherwise, Buffett will be proven right: higher taxes will be inevitable.
His decision to sell Bank of America stock is even more obvious and also bears mentioning. Quite simply, Bank of America is in deep trouble.
You probably recall how the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates all the way down to zero during the pandemic. It was ridiculous-- the US government was able to sell Ten Year notes with a yield of less than 0.4%.
Talk about a ******* deal. The largest debtor in the history of the world was selling bonds with such a pitiful yield that they didn't even keep up with inflation. Who would be such an idiot to buy such a terrible asset?
Bank of America, that's who. In fact, Bank of America invested hundreds of billions of dollars of their depositors' savings in these terrible assets.
Well, now that interest rates are literally more than 10x higher (from 0.4% to more than 4%), those same bonds that Bank of America bought back in 2020 and 2021 have lost a TON of money. BofA is sitting on more than $100 BILLION in unrealized losses from their bond portfolio.
Remember, this is the same reason that Silicon Valley Bank (among others) went bust last year-- the bonds they bought during the pandemic lost a ton of value, and the bank was wiped out. Bank of America is in a similar position now.
The key difference is that Bank of America has enough capital on its balance sheet to sustain those losses. So they might not be wiped out or fail. But the implications for shareholders are pretty bad.
Whenever a bank gets into trouble, the first thing that happens is the regulators step in and start making a bunch of demands. In this case, the FDIC and Fed will probably force Bank of America to raise more capital.
This will have the effect of severely diluting existing Bank of America shareholders... which most investors, especially Buffett, absolutely HATE.
The second thing that regulators always do with troubled banks is force them to suspend their dividend. And dividends are among the top reasons why Buffett likes to hold companies "forever". So given the likely prospect of zero dividends and heavily diluted shares, it looks like Buffett is getting out before regulators drop the hammer on Bank of America.
This is a big difference from "Buffett predicting a crash" as so many headlines across the Internet have been suggesting.
That said, the US stock market in general is definitely looking very expensive and near historically high valuations once again.
But there's at least one sector that's still cheap: real assets.
I've been writing for most of the past two years that real assets make a lot of sense to own, especially during inflationary times. Real assets were THE asset class to own during the 1970s stagflation.
The US is currently on the same path-- with its national debt constantly surging to new record highs (now $36 trillion), suggesting that another bout of nasty inflation could be in order down the road.
But, again, there's now a reasonable chance that the new administration is able to get the nation's finances on the right track... potentially forestalling an inflation spike and debt crisis.
So do real assets still make sense?
For now, yes. Natural gas is a great example-- as I've explained before, US natural gas is still incredibly cheap. And any American energy renaissance will depend heavily on natural gas. Prices could surge as a result, and natural gas producers could boom. Yet many companies' shares are still available for peanuts.
Bottom line, it still makes sense to consider fantastic real asset producers-- especially when they are profitable, low-debt, dividend-paying businesses that trade at absurdly low valuations.
