STELLAR AND THIS NEW COIN: THE DEFI DUO WITH POTENTIAL TO MULTIPLY A CRYPTO PORTFOLIO

A seasoned crypto and a rising DeFi star are capturing investor attention, offering potential for major portfolio growth.

Investors are eyeing a dynamic pair shaking up the decentralized finance scene. One is a seasoned cryptocurrency with a solid track record. The other is a fresh player gaining rapid attention.

Together, they could offer a compelling opportunity to amplify investment returns. This duo might be the catalyst for significant portfolio growth.

Early access to ZDEX: A token with 1000x potential

The ZDEX presale is officially underway, offering early adopters a prime opportunity to invest in a rising DeFi star at an entry price of just $0.0019. By the end of the presale the price will increase to $0.0029, meaning that ZDEX will appreciate 50% even before it gets listed.

ZDEX is the cornerstone of ZircuitDEX, a next-generation decentralized exchange (DEX). Unlike many junk coins, DEX tokens are built to thrive, thanks to their high demand and real utility.

Take Raydium (RAY), which skyrocketed 1790% in a year, or Uniswap, starting at $1 and now over $8, an 8-fold price increase. ZDEX token has similar 1000x potential, ready to reward those who get in early.

Built on the ultra-fast Zircuit Layer 2 chain, ZircuitDEX is crafted to meet the needs of both new and seasoned DeFi traders with its key features:

▪️Lightning-fast transactions for smooth trading experiences

▪️Minimal slippage to ensure trades occur close to desired prices

▪️Near-zero fees for cost-effective transactions

Fully EVM-compatible, ZircuitDEX ensures smooth integration with Ethereum tools, while its implementation of zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) provides enhanced security—a critical feature as market participants increasingly prioritize safeguarding their assets.

Riding the meme coin wave
ZircuitDEX’s built-in meme coin launchpad gives investors a front-row seat to the next viral crypto sensations. With exclusive access to promising meme projects, ZDEX is ready to replicate the explosive success of tokens like BRETT, which soared over 14,000%! As ZircuitDEX nurtures a vibrant, community-centered approach, it’s primed to become the hotspot for high-growth meme tokens.

Efficiency and profitability for liquidity providers
For liquidity providers, ZircuitDEX delivers up to 500x capital efficiency compared to traditional decentralized exchanges. Concentrated liquidity pools allow LPs to earn higher returns with lower capital input, while automated strategies streamline trading, making it easier for users to optimize their holdings. ZDEX token holders also gain governance rights, exclusive airdrops, trade incentives, and staking rewards—adding further value to early participation.

As anticipation builds, ZDEX is quickly becoming a must-watch in the DeFi space, with investors eager to capitalize on its potential for outsized returns.

Stellar: Decentralized network enhancing global financial collaboration
Stellar (XLM) is a decentralized, open-source payments network using blockchain to enable quick, low-cost fund transfers.

It does not favor any national currency and features its own cryptocurrency, Stellar Lumens. Since 2014, Stellar has processed billions of transactions and formed major partnerships. It allows transfers of any currency type, including digital versions of national currencies and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Unlike many cryptocurrencies aiming to replace financial systems, Stellar seeks to enhance them, offering a unified network for collaboration. Individuals can transfer funds globally using Stellar apps, and companies can develop blockchain applications or use the network for payments and currency conversion. The potential of Stellar’s technology makes it an attractive option in the current market cycle.

Conclusion
In conclusion, although established coins like XLM have less short-term potential during this 2024 bull run, ZircuitDEX offers an exceptional opportunity with 500X capital efficiency, lightning-fast transactions, and zero slippage. The ZDEX Token’s 70% presale discount and potential 500% returns upon launch make it a promising asset to enhance portfolio growth.

THE FUTURE OF NFTS: A TRANSFORMATION, NOT A TOMBSTONE

What’s next fro non-fungible tokens? What’s shaping the industry going into potentially favorable 2025 and beyond?

As we navigate the landscape of digital assets, the question looms large: Are NFTs dead?

The fervor that once engulfed the NFT market has certainly dimmed since the euphoric days of 2021, often compared to tulip mania. However, rather than writing an epitaph for NFTs, we should consider a transformative future shaped by evolving perceptions and real-world utility.

The Loyalty of Web3 Audience
The first challenge that non-fungible tokens (NFTs) face is the inconsistency of the Web3 community. This community is very responsive to market conditions and quickly jumps from one trend to another and changes its loyalty overnight.

The market was cruel for NFTs, indicating that many enthusiasts came to participate in temporary hype rather than for long-term value. As the hype faded, interest waned, leading to disgruntled investors and deserted businesses.

When the reality set in, a number of the Web3 aficionados went shopping for bigger fish, and NFTs soon became out of favor, exposing the market’s appetite for bubble factors instead of fundamentals.

Web2’s Shift: Brands and Normies Depart
Simultaneously, the Web2 audience—once eager to explore blockchain and NFTs—has also moved on. Initially brands that adopted NFTs for promotion purposes have now lost interest in NFT amidst falling prices and the new narrative gaining the center stage.

The discussions about NFTs, primed before, remain dormant and have no elasticity to gain mainstream media attention. For the average consumer, NFTs are just a faded trend, just as the overemphasis on new technologies.

The Future Ahead?
So, what does this portend for the future of NFTs? In Web2, it is obvious that digital art is the new order, and NFTs are still necessary as a medium for auctioning and distributing this art.

Nevertheless, this is probably unlikely to start the next bull market. It is true that profile picture projects (PFP) will always amuse a select few, but they, too, are unlikely to trigger a mass market revival. Bull markets thrive on innovation, where originality intersects with scarcity, driving demand beyond supply.

The burning question is: what could give rise to this newness?

NFTs as the Core Infrastructure
Rather than a relic of a bygone era, NFTs hold the potential to be vital components of blockchain infrastructure. They can enhance identity protocols, facilitate social finance, enrich gaming experiences, and tokenize real-world assets.

When viewed through this lens, NFTs are as fundamental to blockchain as the ERC-20 standard is to decentralized finance(DeFi).

Imagine the scenarios: Instead of real estate parcels having only one owner, anyone can own a fraction of the property. This means that a house deed can be put on sale, and people can buy the NFT and trade it permissionless, making real estate transactions simpler.

Alternatively, NFT-backed real estate investments could allow investors to easily buy into real estate projects without owning the actual property. Fractional ownership might even allow groups to purchase vacation homes or shared assets, like a pair of skis, easily.

Moreover, NFTs are set to redefine community relationships through membership access, perks, and value exchange. A myriad of applications will emerge, such as health records management, credit history management, and embedding NFTs into everyday life.

Conclusion: Transformation is the Key to Success
While the NFT market as we know it may be undergoing a reorientation phase, it is far from dead. Instead of wailing its past, we should focus on the shifts that will redefine our understanding of NFTs. By recognizing their potential beyond digital collectibles, we can pave the way for a future where NFTs become integral to our digital lives—ushering in a new era of innovation and opportunity.

DONALD TRUMP SELECTS PRO-CRYPTO SCOTT BESSENT AS TREASURY SECRETARY

▪️Donald Trump has nominated Scott Bessent, a hedge fund manager and crypto advocate, as Treasury Secretary.

▪️Bessent’s pro-crypto stance sparked optimism of a shift toward balanced regulation that would help the industry grow.

▪️His nomination is seen as a potential turning point for fostering innovation and clearer policies in the crypto space.

Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, has nominated Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary for his administration. This decision has generated enthusiasm in the emerging industry due to Bessent’s pro-crypto reputation.

Bessent and Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick had been considered strong favorites for the position. However, Lutnick was eventually nominated as Commerce Secretary.

Crypto Industry Welcomes Scott Bessent’s Nomination for Treasury Secretary
In a November 22 announcement on Truth Social, Trump praised Bessent as the ideal candidate to support his administration’s economic goals. The President stated that Bessent will play a pivotal role in strengthening the US economy, fostering innovation, and maintaining the dollar’s status as the global reserve currency.

“Scott will support my policies that will drive US competitiveness, and stop unfair trade imbalances, work to create an economy that places growth at the forefront, especially through our coming world energy dominance,” Trump added.

Wall Street veteran Bessent, who founded the international macro investment company Key Square Group, brings extensive experience to the role. He had previously served as the chief investment officer for the prominent investor George Soros.

While President Trump’s announcement did not directly reference cryptocurrencies, many in the digital asset space view Bessent’s appointment as a positive sign.

 In past statements, Bessent has described crypto as a symbol of financial freedom. He also called Bitcoin an alternative investment for younger investors disillusioned with the traditional financial system.

“I have been excited about the president’s embrace of crypto and I think it fits very well with the Republican Party, crypto is about freedom in the crypto economy is here to stay,” Bessent stated.

His pro-crypto stance has led many to believe his leadership could encourage a more balanced approach to digital asset regulation. This would contrast with the outgoing administration’s enforcement-heavy tactics, such as its controversial sanctions on decentralized platforms like Tornado Cash.

Indeed, crypto industry leaders have responded enthusiastically to Bessent’s nomination. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse commended Bessent’s nomination, calling it a win for innovation. He noted that Bessent’s leadership could mark a turning point for crypto-friendly policies in Washington.

Similarly, Kristin Smith, CEO of the Blockchain Association, highlighted the importance of Bessent working with Congress to establish clear regulations, ensure fair tax treatment, and protect self-custody rights for digital assets.

“Critical to this nomination would be working with Congress on a regulatory framework for digital assets, protecting the right to self custody, pushing for clearer tax treatment of digital assets, and working closely with industry experts to protect our nation’s security,” Smith remarked.

Sat. 23 Nov. 2024 FACTOR 2: THE QUANTUM FINANCIAL SYSTEM (QFS) …Carolyn Bessette Kennedy on Telegram https://t.me/CarolynKennedy_Bessette

Patriots, the Quantum Financial System is here, and it’s about to flip the entire global banking system on its head. This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a revolution. Say goodbye to corruption, manipulation, and the stranglehold of the elites.

The Key Elements of the QFS: Gold-backed currencies and assets: No more fiat lies. Every currency will be backed by real gold.

Digital certificates tied to physical gold: Exchange your digital assets for actual gold. The globalists can’t rig this system—gold is the great equalizer.

Chinese Elders’ Gold as a global reserve: Yes, the cabal has been outplayed. This gold is supporting currencies worldwide, ensuring stability and fairness for ALL nations.

Asset-backed fund transfers via STARLINK: Using GPS technology, funds are now tracked and transferred with unmatched security and speed. STARLINK isn’t just about satellites—it’s the weapon of financial liberation.

Quantum Computing: The End of Bank Corruption: 3.5 trillion frames per second processing power: Instant payments. No delays. No excuses.

Independent, decentralized banking monitoring: The days of secret accounts, offshore hiding, and elite manipulation are OVER.

Three main QFS powerhouses: Swiss Banking Group, BRICS-Indus Alliance, U.S. Space Force – That’s right. The U.S. military is at the helm, ensuring the Deepstate has NO chance of infiltrating this system.

Photon technology: Cutting-edge advancements make the QFS impenetrable. The globalists have NOTHING that can rival this.

ISO-certified digital currencies only! Only currencies that meet the strictest standards of security and fairness will operate in this new system.

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs): But NOT like the cabal’s version. These are gold-backed, controlled by patriots, and designed to serve the people—not enslave them.

Gold Bonds: A powerful tool to reset the financial system and ensure lasting prosperity.

This is the Storm, Patriots: The QFS doesn’t just change the game—it obliterates the Deepstate’s ability to manipulate, control, and steal from us. The days of the cabal using money as a weapon are over.

This is our system. Our future. Our victory. Spread the word. The Quantum Financial System is here, and NOTHING can stop what’s coming.

5 Banks On HIGH ALERT As S&P 500 Signals MAJOR Crisis!

Atlantis Report:  11-22-2024

The US banking system's fragility has been brought to attention once again. The S&P 500 has issued a chilling warning that has sent shockwaves through the banking industry.

The renowned index tracking agency has downgraded five major regional banks. This move has raised alarm bells across the sector, with many citing mounting concerns over their exposure to the commercial real estate market and looming loan maturities.

The recent development has raised concern about the possibility of another banking crisis similar to the one that occurred during the Great Recession. Today, we will examine the imminent banking crisis and the fate of these five regional banks.

Dollar Devaluation Exposed, Gold up 800% in the Last 24 Years

Dollar Devaluation Exposed, Gold up 800% in the Last 24 Years

Kitco News:  11-22-2024

In a compelling analysis of the market landscape, Rich Checkan, President and COO of Asset Strategies International, has emphasized the remarkable performance of gold over the past 24 years, showcasing an astounding increase of over 800%.

This significant rise makes gold a standout asset, outperforming all major indices this millennium, and raising critical questions about the stability of traditional investments amidst the devaluation of the U.S. dollar.

Checkan shared his insights during an interview with Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron at the New Orleans Investment Conference, where he outlined the implications of economic policies and geopolitical tensions on various investment avenues. His remarks reflected a growing concern about the “real” performance of equity markets, which have been buoyed by the apparent rise in stock prices but are increasingly questioned due to the U.S. dollar’s loss of purchasing power.

The crux of Checkan’s argument lies in the persistent devaluation of the U.S. dollar, a phenomenon that has profound implications for investors.

As the dollar weakens, its purchasing power diminishes, rendering traditional assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate less reliable as hedges against inflation. In stark contrast, gold emerges as a durable safe haven, with Checkan noting that it is often viewed as a “d**d asset” for its lack of interest or dividends. Yet, its remarkable appreciation underscores its role as a stronghold during economic uncertainty.

“In the last 24+ years, gold is up 818%,” Checkan pointed out, highlighting its resilience in the face of financial instability. This striking statistic serves as a reminder to investors that sometimes, alternative assets may provide greater security and return potential than conventional investments.

The conversation also delved into how geopolitical tensions and government fiscal policies can directly impact the precious metals market. As nations grapple with conflict, instability, and economic changes, investors often flock to gold for its historical status as a store of value. Checkan noted that this behavior is particularly pronounced in environments where uncertainty reigns, making gold an attractive refuge.

Moreover, with ongoing discussions about inflation rates, interest rates, and expansive monetary policies, the interaction between fiscal measures and precious metals cannot be understated. The policies implemented by governments worldwide, particularly those related to money supply and stimulus measures, have significant ramifications for gold prices as they influence market confidence and investor behavior.

While Checkan primarily focused on gold, he also touched on the burgeoning realm of cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin. As digital currencies gain traction, the perception of value and the diversification of portfolios continue to evolve.

Bitcoin, often dubbed “digital gold,” has attracted attention as both a speculative asset and a potential long-term store of value. Checkan’s outlook on Bitcoin encapsulates a broader conversation about the future of currencies and the ways in which they can coexist with traditional assets like gold.

As investors sift through the complexities of today’s financial landscape, Checkan’s insights serve as a crucial framework for understanding the dynamics of wealth preservation and growth. The impressive 800% increase in gold over more than two decades starkly contrasts with the volatility observed within equity markets. For many, gold’s enduring allure as a safe haven asset will continue to shine brightly, particularly in times of economic turbulence.

With Checkan’s observations echoing the sentiments of many financial experts, it appears that diversifying portfolios to include precious metals may not only be prudent but necessary.

As the world grapples with the interplay of currency fluctuations, geopolitical unrest, and inflationary fears, gold stands out not just as a commodity, but as a cornerstone of modern investment strategies.

Some “Gold Backed “ News Saturday 11-23-2024

Judy Shelton: "Why Don't We Use Our Gold As Collateral For A New Treasury Debt Instrument"

Judy Shelton: "Why Don't We Use Our Gold As Collateral For A New Treasury Debt Instrument"

Former Trump economic advisor Judy Shelton has talked a lot about bringing gold back into the monetary system in the US.

And while she has not yet been officially brought back aboard Trump's team, it sure is fascinating to imagine what could happen if she is.

Because in a recent interview with David Morgan of The Morgan Report, in addition to sharing some fascinating monetary history, including how even Fed officials like Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan agree that 2% inflation is far from the definition of stable, she also proposes the idea of using the nation's gold as collateral for a new treasury debt instrument.

Which is fascinating to hear, especially at the same time when the eastern half of the world continues to express a desire to turn to gold in place of treasuries.

So whether you're a monetary advocate, historian, or someone who just wants to navigate the changes to our monetary system that are coming, you're really going to enjoy this interview.

Texas proposes gold and silver-backed currencies to compete with fiat money

Kitco News:  11-23-2024

(Kitco News) – In a quest for sound money, a Texas lawmaker has filed two bills that, if passed, would create gold and silver-backed transactional currencies, backed 100% by the underlying asset, that would serve as legal tender in the state.

According to a report from the Tenth Amendment Center, Texas State Representative Mark Dorazio filed House Bill 1049 and House Bill 1056 on November 12, two bills with similar language that would add provisions to different sections of the Texas legal code.

“Under the proposed law, the Texas Comptroller would issue gold and silver specie (coins) through the Texas Bullion Depository and also establish gold and silver transactional currency defined as ‘the representation of gold and silver specie and bullion held in the pooled depository account,’” wrote Mike Maharrey, Communications Director at the Tenth Amendment Center. “The Depository would be required to hold enough gold and silver to back 100 percent of the issued currency.”

If approved, the bills would enable “Holders of gold and silver specie and currency to use them as ‘legal tender in payment of debt,’ in the state of Texas,” he noted. “The gold and silver-backed currency would be electronically transferable to another person. Gold and silver-backed currency would be redeemable in specie or at the spot price of gold in U.S. dollars minus applicable fees.”

Said differently, the passage of either bill would allow anyone in the state to conduct business transactions using gold or silver. 

“The passage of this legislation would create a sound money alternative to U.S. dollars in both physical and electronic form,” Maharrey said. “Using gold and silver-backed transactional currency, any person or entity would be able to do business using a debit card that seamlessly converts gold and silver to fiat currency in the background. Private individuals and businesses would be able to purchase goods and services using assets held in the Texas Gold Depository in the same way they use dollars held in a bank today.”

He stressed that the ability to use gold and silver-backed transactional currencies “would give people a way to shield themselves from the rapid loss of purchasing power inherent in the fiat dollar.” 

“Over time, making gold and silver available for regular, daily transactions by the general public could have a wide-ranging impact,” Maharrey noted. “Professor William Greene is an expert on constitutional tender and said in a paper for the Mises Institute that if people in multiple states actually start using gold and silver instead of Federal Reserve notes, it would effectively nullify the Federal Reserve and end the federal government’s monopoly on money.”

According to Greene, “Over time, as residents of the state use both Federal Reserve notes and silver and gold coins, the fact that the coins hold their value more than Federal Reserve notes do will lead to a ‘reverse Gresham’s Law’ effect, where good money (gold and silver coins) will drive out bad money (Federal Reserve notes).”

“As this happens, a cascade of events can begin to occur, including the flow of real wealth toward the state’s treasury, an influx of banking business from outside of the state – as people in other states carry out their desire to bank with sound money – and an eventual outcry against the use of Federal Reserve notes for any transactions,” Greene added

“Gresham’s Law holds that ‘bad money drives out good,’” Maharrey explained. “For example, when the U.S. government replaced silver quarters and dimes with coins made primarily of less valuable copper, the cheap coins drove the silver out of circulation. People hoarded the more valuable silver coins and spent the less valuable copper money.”

This led him to ask, “So, how do you reverse Gresham?”

“The key is to make it easier to use gold and silver in everyday transactions,” he said. “The reason bad money drives out good is that governments put up barriers to using sound money in day-to-day life. That makes it more costly to spend gold and silver and incentivizes hoarding.” 

“When you remove legal and tax barriers, you level the playing field and allow gold and silver to compete head-to-head with Federal Reserve notes,” he added. “On an even playing field, gold and silver beat fiat money every time.”

Maharrey highlighted the U.S. Consitution to strengthen his case, noting that Article I, Section 10 decrees that “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.”

“In most states, debts and taxes must either get paid with Federal Reserve Notes (dollars), authorized as legal tender by Congress, or with coins issued by the U.S. Treasury — very few of which have gold or silver in them,” he said. “The creation of a transactional gold and silver currency would take another step toward that constitutional requirement, ignored for decades in every state. Such a tactic would undermine the monopoly of the Federal Reserve System by introducing competition into the monetary system.” 

The proposed bills will be assigned to Texas House committees when the 2025 legislative session begins on Jan. 14.

Texas gold-backed digital currency could aid in Bitcoin adoption

While Maharrey is looking to get gold and silver recognized as transactional currencies in their own right, the Texas legislature is also making progress on legislation to create a blockchain-based gold-backed token, which could benefit not only the yellow metal but also Bitcoin. 

In April 2023, two Texas lawmakers, Senator Bryan Hughes and Representative Mark Dorazi, introduced two separate bills for creating a state-issued digital currency backed by gold. And while the legislation is still working through the state’s Congress, one lawmaker thinks that once launched, the proposed gold-backed digital currency could help boost cryptocurrency adoption. 

As reported by Cointelegraph, Cody Harris, a Republican Party member of the Texas State House of Representatives, sat down for a fireside chat with Coinbase’s David Duong at the North American Blockchain Summit on Thursday and provided an update on the stats of the gold-backed token. 

“This [state-issued digital currency backed by gold] is something safe that people can get their feet wet with,” he said. “It’s more of a stepping stone to owning Bitcoin than competing with it or taking the place or something like that.”

Under the proposed plan, each digital currency token will represent a fraction of a troy ounce of gold held in trust and will enable holders to accumulate and spend gold via blockchain, removing a barrier that makes it difficult to utilize gold for daily transactions. 

Harris said the benefits of the token are twofold. Not only will it simplify the use of gold for everyday use, but it could also help skeptics become more comfortable with cryptocurrency by serving as a government-issued digital alternative to fiat, which is a stepping stone to helping them open to the idea of using decentralized assets like Bitcoin. 

For those who are hesitant to acquire BTC or explore crypto, he suggested that a state-issued coin would provide a higher “comfort level” than tokens issued by startups. 

But not all digital tokens are seen as equal in his eyes, with Harris saying that digital fiat – also known as central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) – would have an overall negative impact on the state and the public at large. 

“I think we would all agree that a CBDC is detrimental to the nation and the state of Texas,” he said, referring to the variety of threats CBDDs pose, such as surveillance and privacy concerns. 

Harris called for the crypto community and broader public to take an active role in the CBDC and digital asset conversation to make sure they aren’t saddled with a dystopian currency that enables things like social credit scores. 

“I think it makes it easier for us who are pro-Bitcoin to have conversations about why someone should change their perspective on it,” he said. “If we start at a CBDC, is it the goal of some parts of the US government? So let’s lock arms together and make sure that that doesn’t happen.”

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps

BRICS: MORGAN STANLEY PREDICTS THE FUTURE OF THE US DOLLAR

BRICS is challenging the dominance of the US dollar by spreading the de-dollarization agenda across the globe. The bloc is pushing local currencies for trade and convincing other developing countries to sideline the US dollar. Using local currencies will strengthen their native economies and give them a boost in the forex markets. Amid the BRICS de-dollarization initiative, leading investment bank Morgan Stanley has predicted the future of the US dollar

Three sectors (see link below) in the US will be affected if BRICS ditches the dollar for trade. The move will make the US dollar lose out on the global supply and demand dynamics and push it into the path of decline. If the US fails to import the dollar, inflation could hit the homeland leading to higher prices for basic necessities.

BRICS: Morgan Stanley Reveals How the US Dollar Will Survive the Challenges

Analysts from the leading investment bank Morgan Stanley predict that the US dollar will remain the dominant currency for a longer period despite the challenges from BRICS. The bank’s analyst highlighted that in terms of financial instability, investors flock to the US dollar and not the Chinese yuan.

Historically, the USD has maintained stability during a market crisis while other local currencies plummeted. The USD can withstand the whips of the currency market as it is backed by global trade, said Morgan Stanley on the BRICS de-dollarization initiative.

“Which currency would you want to own when global stock markets start to fall? And the global economy tends to head into recession?” said James Lord, Morgan Stanley’s Head of Foreign Exchange Strategy. “You want to be positioning in US dollars because that has historically been the exchange rate reaction to those kinds of events.” In conclusion, Morgan Stanley predicts that the US dollar will reign supreme against the onslaught of the BRICS alliance.

Three Sectors Affected

COIN CENTER WARNS US POLICIES COULD SCARE AWAY CRYPTO INVESTORS DESPITE TRUMP WIN

Coin Center says that while a Trump administration will undoubtedly be positive for crypto, there are still several ongoing cases that could prove troublesome to investors and developers.

Non-profit crypto advocacy group Coin Center has warned that even though a Trump win is a net positive for the crypto industry, entrenched policies could still scare crypto innovators away from the United States.

In a Nov. 21 blog post analyzing the landscape of US crypto policy following the 2024 election,  Coin Center’s research director Van Valkenburgh shared three “grave threats” to the crypto users and developers in the US heading into 2025. 

All three threats are described broadly as “surveillance issues” and range from tax reporting and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policy to the ongoing criminal proceedings involving the crypto mixer Tornado Cash and Bitcoin wallet service Samourai Wallet.

Three “grave” threats to crypto

The first major threat comes from the crypto reporting requirements under Section 6050I of the US tax code, which currently mandates warrantless reporting to the IRS for those who have received $10,000 in crypto. 

In August last year, Coin Center argued that these reporting requirements are unconstitutional. 

The second and third major threats stem from the sanctions placed on Tornado Cash and include the criminal charges for unlicensed money transmission brought against the mixing service and Samourai Wallet. 

Coin Center says the charges brought against Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm could set a worrying precedent for developers on non-custodial crypto services. 

“At the agency level, there’s reason to believe that controversial ongoing rulemakings will be frozen or even abandoned due to President Trump’s generally pro-crypto stance and his likely choices for appointees at the SEC and Treasury.”

However, Valkenburgh wrote that the new administration may not be interested in scaling back “overzealous” sanctions and AML policies. 

“The [Department of Justice] may change under a Trump administration, but it rightly guards its political independence and may therefore be unlikely to abandon these prosecutions because of a change in administration," Valkenburgh said. 

“We’re nonetheless hopeful that there can be progress here if it becomes increasingly clear that even with a friendlier SEC, draconian surveillance and control policies will continue to drive innovators away from the US, chill development, and deny ordinary Americans the benefits of these technologies.”

Valkenburgh added that the ongoing measures to prevent people from accessing crypto services do “very little to actually prevent criminals and terrorists” from using the tools.

Gold Telegraph: The US has an Opportunity to Restore its Monetary System

11-22-2024

Gold on track for best week in 1 year.

History, clues. Gold is always in that book.

Former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan in 1998:
“Central banks stand ready to lease gold in increasing quantities should the price rise.”

I will slowly reveal how central banks have influenced the gold price.

For years, I have said: Central banks FEAR gold.

Change is in the air.

BREAKING NEWS: U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE ANNOUNCES POLICY FRAMEWORK REVIEW

Powell says he is open to new ideas. Is he referring to new ideas other than flooding the system with money?

The United States has an opportunity to restore the integrity of its monetary system by utilizing its gold reserves to anchor stability.

If this is radical, the Founding Fathers must be smiling—gold is enshrined in the Constitution as money.

Nader From The Mid East  We will not go more than $4 so don't waste your time and ask question about $16, $8, $11 and $12.  Don't even do that now.  Come out at $3, yes.  If they reinstate it will come out at 3 to 1... $2.83, $2.87 to 1 or more maybe.  But it will not be more than $4.  I think $4 is too much too because no money in the world cost that much...Give me $2.50 I'd be happy.

The IMF suggesting shocks to come is likely a heads up that change is coming.  Let’s hope that change to come is for Iraq’s exchange rate…

BRICS: INDIA PROVIDES UPDATE ON CBDC CURRENCY

BRICS member India is among the few countries that successfully launched a pilot basis of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) began testing the CBDC currency early this year for trade and common transactions. The RBI is testing the security aspects of digital currencies and conducting studies about their potential impact on the economy.

The launch of the CBDC could change the fortunes of BRICS member India, as it’s ahead of the curve in digital currencies. Out of the 198 countries in the world, 134 nations are currently working towards the formation of a CBDC currency. All the countries are currently in testing mode while only a few have reached the pilot testing phase.

BRICS: India Gives Update on CBDC Currency Progress

Apart from the de-dollarization agenda, BRICS is also looking to topple the US dollar with CBDC digital currencies. Reserve Bank of India’s Deputy Governor T Rabi Sankar confirmed that the CBDC pilot mode is in its advanced stages. 

Sankar signaled that the CBDC rollout will also be utilized for government, retail, and institutional users. When reporters questioned about its release date, the RBI deputy said that they were not in a hurry.

“We are in no hurry to roll it out (CBDC) immediately,” he said to reporters. The RBI deputy revealed that once things fall in place, details about the CBDC currency will be made public by BRICS. “Once we have some visibility of what the outcome or impact will be, we’ll roll it out. We don’t keep a specific timeline for that.”

Apart from India, its BRICS counterpart Russia is also in the advanced stages of testing its CBDC currency. Russia plans to launch the digital ruble and usher into a new era in the financial sector. Transactions in the US dollar will begin to decline gradually if BRICS starts using CBDC digital currencies for trade.

“Tidbits from TNT” Saturday Morning 11-23-2024

TNT:

Tishwash:  Parliament resumes its sessions next week... and clarification of the mechanism for extending its legislative term

A member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee explained the mechanism for extending the legislative term of the House of Representatives.

Aref Al-Hamami told Al-Furat News Agency that "extending the legislative term of the House of Representatives does not require a vote, but rather only a decision from the Speaker of the House and his deputies to decide the legislative term."
He added, "The next session is scheduled to include the general amnesty and personal status laws, and work will be done to resolve them."

He added, "There is nothing new regarding the 2025 budget schedules, and we are waiting for them to arrive from the government."

The Speaker of the House of Representatives decided on the fourth of this month to resume sessions next week after the completion of the population census operations in the country.  link

Tishwash:  Expectations of an "elite" Iranian delegation arriving in Baghdad.. 3 files on the table

 An informed source expected, today, Friday (November 22, 2024), the arrival of an elite Iranian delegation to Baghdad within the next 72 hours.

The source said in an interview with "Baghdad Today", "Tehran has indirect lines of communication through 3 Arab countries, including Baghdad, with the White House to convey messages and positions regarding developments in the Middle East and ways to prevent it from reaching the stage of comprehensive war."

He added that "an elite Iranian delegation may arrive in Baghdad within the next 72 hours to discuss Tehran's positions on three files, most notably Gaza and Lebanon, the importance of stopping the war, and its vision of the situation and the roadmap that could stop the tensions at a certain point."

He pointed out that "Tehran is very open to the issue of stopping the war as quickly as possible and pressuring Western countries, including America, in order to move the pressure tools on the entity and stop the genocide machine," noting that "all indicators show that the Middle East is facing rapid changes, and the language of diplomacy may be slightly higher for the first time than the language of war."

In a related matter, an informed source revealed, on Thursday (November 21, 2024), an Iranian message with positive content to Washington through Iraqi mediators.

The source said in an interview with "Baghdad Today", "Tehran sent yesterday, through Iraqi mediators, an indirect message to America about its vision for resolving the crisis and the dangerous escalation in the Middle East, starting with ending the war of extermination in Gaza and southern Lebanon, stopping the bombing in Beirut and seeking a roadmap with an international vision."

He added that "the Iranian message carried diplomatic signals in most of its lines, which means that it wants to reach a solution that ends the current conflict according to a vision with specific dimensions, while indicating that it does not want a comprehensive war, but will engage in it if it is imposed on it directly."

He pointed out that "it can be sensed that the Iranian military option on Tel Aviv has been postponed at the present time in light of undeclared international efforts to prevent the explosion of the Middle East, in addition to waiting to see the new American president and how he will deal with the files of the East and his promises to end the war."

The source said that "Iran has begun to tone down its rhetoric towards diplomacy, through which solutions can be reached that contribute to stopping the bloodshed, while declaring a firm position that it will not abandon the axis of resistance."

Iraq played the role of mediator in the indirect dialogue between Washington and Tehran, and contributed to preventing events from developing into a major regional comprehensive war.   link

Tishwash:  Protecting Iraq is an American duty: Security agreements are not just ink on paper

In a tense atmosphere that portends an unprecedented escalation, news continues about intensive security and diplomatic moves to prevent a confrontation between Israel and Iraq, against the backdrop of attacks by armed factions on Israeli sites. While Israel has filed an official complaint with the UN Security Council against Iraq, fears are growing of an “imminent” Israeli strike that could open the door to escalation in the region.

The political advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister, Fadi Al-Shammari, said in press statements that “the Israeli threats have become tangible after the complaint that Tel Aviv filed with the Security Council.” He explained that the Iraqi government is working on more than one level to contain the crisis and avoid its disastrous repercussions.

Sources said that Baghdad received direct warnings from Washington that Israel was prepared to take military action unless the government could rein in the armed factions.

A source said that the Security Council is witnessing intense discussions regarding the Israeli complaint. He added: “Israel is trying to provide justifications for a possible military strike, claiming that the attacks are being launched from Iraqi territory with Iranian support.”

Washington in the circle of pressure

For its part, Washington finds itself in a sensitive position under the “Strategic Framework Agreement” with Baghdad, which imposes on it the responsibility to defend Iraq against any external threat.

However, observers believe that the American position may be less clear than it seems, as an analysis published by a Washington research center indicated that “Israel may resort to limited surgical strikes without waiting for a public green light from the United States.”

Between the field and diplomacy

A citizen named Ahmed Al-Saadi spoke about the tense atmosphere in a Facebook post, saying: “What is happening now brings to mind the atmosphere of war in the nineties. People here are afraid of the repercussions of any new confrontation.” In a tweet on the “X” platform, an account said: “If the news of an imminent Israeli strike is true, Iraq may witness one of its most complex crises since the fall of the former regime.”

Faction movements and internal balances

Field reports indicated that some armed factions have begun taking precautionary measures in preparation for any possible attack. A source close to one of the factions said in a private interview: “We are ready to defend Iraqi territory if Israel targets it.” But a citizen from Baghdad named Zainab al-Ali expressed her fears about the repercussions of these moves, saying: “Iraqis always pay the highest price in such conflicts.”

Future analysis and escalation expectations

According to strategic analyses, Israel is exploiting the escalation to impose a new equation in the region, which was confirmed by a reliable source, who said: “Any Israeli strike could be the beginning of an expansion of the conflict, as the factions will not only respond from within Iraq, but we may witness other fronts igniting.” He added: “The biggest fear is that Iraq will turn into an arena for settling regional scores.”

Iraq needs a unified position from political forces to ward off the Israeli threat, away from the divisions that have weakened the country over the past years.”  link

Clare:  Dollar-Dinar Exchange Rate Gap: Causes and Treatments

Dr. Haitham Hamid Mutlaq Al Mansour   11/22/2024

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. 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, it generates revenue, or negatively, it generates additional costs that cause repercussions on purchasing power without taking individuals and economic units into account, 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 Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS: WHY 2025 COULD BE THE END OF ITS DE-DOLLARIZATION EFFORTS

Despite being the BRICS focus over the last two years, 2025 could mark the end of the alliance’s de-dollarization efforts. Although the bloc has sought increased financial prominence, it has yet to truly strike at international Western hegemony.

With President-elect Donald Trump set to take over the White House in the coming years, his relationship with Russia’s Vladimir Putin could orchestrate a massive shift in perspective for the group. Since Trump won the 2024 election, Putin has already assured he is no longer interested in abandoning the US dollar.

BRICS Fight Against the US Dollar Coming to Its Final Bell: Why Trump Changes Everything
2022 remains one of the most important years, geopolitically speaking. 

That year marked the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Moreover, it forced the hand of the West, with the United States moving to sanction the country in response to its military advancement.

With that being more than two years ago now, things have changed. The invasion sparked increased cooperation with the global South BRICS alliance. Specifically, Russia sought to forge plans to lessen international reliance on the US dollar. Effectively, he struck back against the West in any way he could.

Yet, things have changed. Specifically, Trump is back in office, and the sentiment from the Russian president has shifted greatly. More importantly, things for the BRICS bloc could be set to change, as 2025 could be the end of its ongoing de-dollarization efforts.

A Reuters report notes that Putin has expressed a willingness to sit down with Donald Trump and discuss ending the ongoing war in Ukraine. Although he has extensive conditions, his openness for a ceasefire is progress nonetheless. 

Moreover, that comes as he already denounced a desire to truly abandon the US dollar after Trump was elected as the incumbent US President.

Trump has been outspoken about his stance regarding de-dollarization. Just as certain, the 45th president has been vocal about his belief in his own capacity to end the Ukraine war. Those two things could create a perfect storm that only hinders the nations that put their faith in BRICS de-dollarization.

It is not out of the realm of possibility to see an increase in Russian and US cooperation. That is especially true amid Trump’s return. Such an action would threaten its advances on the US dollar. More importantly, it could ensure Trump gets what he wants, assuring the greenback’s position atop global economics.

SEC COMMISSIONER JAIME LIZÁRRAGA TO STEP DOWN IN JANUARY

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will see yet another exit in January after Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga announced he will step down.

Bloomberg Law reports that the former congressional aide has said he will leave the agency on January 17. The announcement comes just a day after SEC Chair Gary Gensler announced his resignation effective January 20.

Lizárraga, Gensler, and Caroline Crenshaw are the three Democrat commissioners among the SEC’s five members. The two exits will leave Crenshaw, Hester Peirce, and Mark Uyeda, the latter two having dissented on various SEC decisions.

Notably, Lizárraga and Gensler will exit as Donald Trump, elected on Nov. 5, gets into office amid expectations of a pro-crypto White House. Reports that the Trump administration is eyeing a “crypto czar” have added to optimism, even as the industry debates on who would be the best pick for SEC Chair.

Lizárraga joined the SEC in 2022, with his term ending in 2027. Lizárraga faced criticism for overreach, with his corporate reporting regulations burdening small businesses. He was also criticized for the controversial policies that the market saw as prioritizing politics over investors.

He says his resignation is for family reasons.

“In reflecting on the challenges that lie ahead, we have decided that it is in the best interests of our family to close this chapter in my 34-year public service journey,” he said in a statement quoted by Bloomberg Law.

The crypto industry has largely criticized the SEC’s approach over the past four years, pointing to what many see as an anti-crypto stance. Trump has pledged to fire Gensler immediately upon taking office, vowing to end the current administration’s “war on crypto.”

MASTERCARD INTEGRATES ITS MTN BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK WITH JP MORGAN’S KINEXYS DIGITAL PAYMENTS (JPM COIN)

Today Mastercard announced it has integrated its Multi-Token Network (MTN) for tokenized deposits and tokenized assets with Kinexys Digital Payments (formerly JPM Coin).

 It allows clients of the two solutions to send payments across the networks. Both companies emphasized the benefits for cross border payments because of traditional challenges with speed, transparency and time zone differences.

Kinexys Digital Payments is designed to support clients with JP Morgan bank accounts, so it’s mainly used by corporates that want to move money between JP Morgan branches dotted around the world. MTN provides a simplified solution to enable banks to engage with tokenized deposits.

Instead of developing their own blockchain networks, it offers banks an API driven solution. Additionally, it provides interoperability with multiple blockchain networks. Kinexys is an example of one of those networks.

“For years, both Mastercard and Kinexys by J.P. Morgan have been committed to innovating for the future of digital asset and commercial infrastructure,” said Raj Dhamodharan, EVP, Blockchain and Digital Assets at Mastercard.

“By bringing together the power and connectivity of Mastercard’s MTN with Kinexys Digital Payments, we are unlocking greater speed and settlement capabilities for the entire value chain.”

Both solutions represent bank payments on a blockchain. Conventional cross border payments involve Swift messages being sent between banks, often with intermediary banks involved. The banks then move the money separately from the message. That works fine most of the time, but not always. 

With blockchain-based transfers, there is no separation of the message and money movement. That avoids issues where money has departed the sender’s account but has not arrived at the recipient.

If there’s an issue with the payment, such as an AML query, then the transfer should not start until that’s resolved.

China Japan Dump Record US Bonds: Accelerating Global Currency Reset

China Japan Dump Record US Bonds: Accelerating Global Currency Reset

Awake-In-3D November 21, 2024

As Japan and China offload U.S. Treasuries, the global currency system faces a pivotal shift that could redefine international trade and finance.

The global financial system continues its historic shift as Japan and China accelerate the Global Currency Reset with record-breaking sales of U.S. Treasuries. These unprecedented moves signal a pivotal moment in international finance, challenging the U.S. dollar’s dominance as the world’s reserve currency. By understanding the motivations behind these actions and their far-reaching consequences, we can better prepare for the financial realignments reshaping global trade and economic power.

The Role of Japanese and Chinese Treasury Sales in the Global Currency Reset

In the third quarter of 2024, Japan and China undertook unprecedented sell-offs of U.S. Treasury securities, amounting to $61.9 billion and $51.3 billion respectively. These significant moves, captured in data from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, highlight an evolving landscape in global finance and the increasing fragility of the U.S. dollar’s dominance. While these sales reflect immediate market concerns, such as higher yields and political uncertainty, their deeper implications signal preparation for a broader financial transformation—often referred to as the Global Currency Reset.

This article explains the motivations behind these Treasury divestitures and their potential consequences for the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency. I also examine how these actions serve as precursors to a realignment of currency dominance, reshaping global trade and finance.

The Drivers Behind Japan and China’s Record Treasury Sales

1. Anticipation of U.S. Inflationary Policies

The mid-2024 peak in Treasury yields—bolstered by speculation over inflationary policies—was a primary catalyst for Japan and China’s record sales. These countries perceived the fiscal policies of the U.S., including tax cuts and high tariffs, as drivers of inflation and economic uncertainty. Rising yields offered an attractive exit point for large holders of U.S. debt, particularly in an environment of growing skepticism about the long-term stability of the dollar.

2. Geopolitical Risks and Domestic Strategies

Geopolitical concerns further fueled the sell-off. China, in particular, has faced escalating tensions with the U.S., with trade disputes and competition for technological dominance at the forefront. By reducing its exposure to U.S. debt, China not only hedges against potential economic retaliation but also redirects resources to bolster its currency and diversify reserves.

Japan’s motives, while similar, are intertwined with its efforts to stabilize the yen amidst fluctuating currency markets. The Ministry of Finance’s interventions in mid-2024 to prop up the yen underscore the challenges Tokyo faces in managing exchange rates while navigating external pressures.

3. Preparing for the Global Currency Reset

Beyond short-term factors, these actions reflect a strategic pivot toward a long-term vision of global financial realignment. Both Japan and China appear to position themselves for a shift in currency dominance, a hallmark of the Global Currency Reset. This phenomenon envisions a more equitable distribution of reserve currency roles, diminishing reliance on the U.S. dollar and enhancing the prominence of alternative currencies.

Consequences for the U.S. Dollar

The mass offloading of U.S. Treasuries by two of its largest foreign creditors has profound implications for the U.S. dollar, challenging its long-held status as the backbone of the global financial system.

1. Decline in Reserve Currency Utility

Historically, the dollar’s dominance has been underpinned by trust in U.S. financial stability and the liquidity of its debt markets. The divestitures by Japan and China undermine this trust, sending a signal to other nations that diversifying away from dollar-denominated assets is prudent. As more countries follow suit, the dollar’s position as the world’s primary reserve currency declines, facilitating a transition to a multipolar currency system.

2. Increased Volatility in U.S. Debt Markets

The scale of these sales has already contributed to volatility in the Treasury market. If foreign demand for Treasuries continues to decline, the U.S. faces higher borrowing costs, further straining an already ballooning federal deficit. This self-reinforcing cycle, where higher yields make Treasuries less attractive to foreign investors, accelerates the divestment trend.

3. Acceleration of Alternative Reserve Assets

Both Japan and China have actively explored alternatives to the dollar. China, for instance, promotes the use of the yuan in international trade and expands its digital currency initiatives. Japan, while less aggressive, has shown interest in regional trade agreements that minimize reliance on the dollar. Their Treasury sales serve as a catalyst for other nations to consider similar shifts, accelerating the adoption of alternative reserve assets like gold, cryptocurrencies, or other fiat currencies.

The Role of the Global Currency Reset in Shifting Currency Dominance

The Global Currency Reset envisions a new financial order, where multiple currencies share the responsibilities traditionally held by the U.S. dollar. This scenario aligns with the actions of Japan and China, which not only reduce their reliance on the dollar but also initiate a transition toward a diversified reserve framework.

1. Rebalancing Global Power

The concentration of financial power in the U.S. has long been a point of contention among emerging economies. The Global Currency Reset addresses these imbalances by elevating the roles of regional currencies, such as the yuan, and creating mechanisms for fairer trade settlements. Japan and China’s actions represent early steps in this direction, indicating their strategic focus on leadership roles in the new system.

2. Strengthening Domestic Economies

A key tenet of the Global Currency Reset is the alignment of national economies with stronger, more stable currencies. For Japan and China, reducing exposure to U.S. debt aligns with their goals of mitigating external risks and focusing on domestic growth. This strategy also enhances their ability to manage currency valuations and support broader economic initiatives, such as China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

3. The Rise of Digital Currencies

Digital currencies play a pivotal role in the Global Currency Reset, offering an alternative to the dollar-based system. China’s digital yuan is already being tested in cross-border trade, while Japan has shown interest in developing its own digital currency. These initiatives not only reduce reliance on the dollar but also position these nations as pioneers in the next generation of global finance.

Implications for the U.S. and Global Markets

The consequences of Japan and China’s Treasury sales extend beyond the U.S. dollar, influencing global markets and shaping the strategies of other nations.

1. Pressure on U.S. Fiscal Policy

The U.S. government faces increased pressure to address its fiscal imbalances, as declining foreign demand for Treasuries raises borrowing costs. This forces policymakers to make difficult choices, such as reducing spending or increasing taxes, to stabilize the economy.

2. Opportunities for Emerging Markets

As the dollar’s dominance wanes, emerging markets benefit from a more balanced financial system. Reduced reliance on the dollar enables these countries to trade and borrow in currencies that better reflect their economic realities.

3. Increased Global Cooperation

The transition to a multipolar currency system requires unprecedented levels of international cooperation. Institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank play crucial roles in facilitating this shift, ensuring stability during the transition period.

The Bottom Line

Japan and China’s record-breaking sales of U.S. Treasuries are more than just a reaction to market conditions—they represent a strategic shift with profound implications for the U.S. dollar and the global financial system. By reducing their exposure to dollar-denominated assets, these nations signal their intent to play pivotal roles in a future where the dollar is no longer the unrivaled global reserve currency.

This realignment, often referred to as the Global Currency Reset, reshapes the financial landscape, offering opportunities for greater equity and stability. For the U.S., however, it poses significant challenges, necessitating swift and strategic action to maintain its influence in a rapidly changing world.
