Fri. 3 Jan. 2025 HISTORIC: QFS Now in Full Control – Elite’s Billions Confiscated, DNA Verification Enforced, Quantum Wealth Transfer Begins, Redemption Cards Activated, EBS Ready, and Starlink Secures the Grid! …Gitmo TV on Telegram

The final phase of Operation Phoenix is (allegedly) underway, marking a historic turning point in the battle for global financial liberation. Trump’s re-election has (allegedly) solidified his control over GESARA and accelerated the dismantling of the corrupt financial system. December 2024 brings undeniable progress with stakes higher than ever.

GESARA Teachings: The Key to Navigating the New World: GESARA isn’t just about wealth redistribution—it’s a lifeline for thriving in the era of the Quantum Financial System (QFS). Grasping the teachings is essential to engage with Redemption Centers or access reclaimed funds. These principles guide the dismantling of the deepstate’s financial grip, ensuring transparency and empowerment.

Operation Phoenix Intensifies: Trillions in Elite Assets (allegedly) Seized: In late December 2024, elite teams seized over $3 trillion in global assets. Major financial hubs, including Singapore, Dubai, and New York, were raided, targeting the corrupt elite. These assets are now (allegedly) funneled into the GESARA wealth redistribution initiative. Trump’s team has (allegedly) neutralized key players in the banking cartel, signaling the end of the Federal Reserve and IMF.

New Quantum Vaults (allegedly) Activated: The QFS unveiled Quantum Vaults, secure digital storage for reclaimed wealth. Using quantum encryption powered by Starlink, these vaults ensure transparent and secure distribution of funds. Quantum Access Cards, enhanced with biometric pulse-reading technology, guarantee only(allegedly)  authorized access linked directly to an individual’s DNA.

Starlink Expands Q-Grid: Global Emergency Updates Begin: Starlink’s Q-Grid now covers (allegedly) 100% of the Earth’s surface. As of December 28, 2024, Global Emergency Updates began(allegedly)  broadcasting GESARA progress and EBS updates directly to the people, bypassing traditional media channels. Trump’s team is (allegedly) preparing for a major January 2025 announcement regarding the wealth transfer.

Operation Sentinel: New Deployments to Safeguard Redemption Centers: AI-powered tactical units are deployed under Operation Sentinel to protect Redemption Centers. These units neutralize threats using quantum surveillance technology. Deepstate sabotage efforts to disrupt Redemption Centers have (allegedly) been thwarted by QFS algorithms ensuring the security of the rollout.

Elite Takedown Expands to Underground Networks: GESARA teams have (allegedly) raided underground bunkers in Antarctica, the Swiss Alps, and the Nevada desert, (allegedly) uncovering free energy devices and advanced medical tools. These discoveries will (allegedly) soon be released under Trump’s vision for a self-sustaining World.

Starlink-EBS Integration: Prepare for the January 2025 Event: The EBS is now (allegedly) fully integrated with Starlink’s Q-Grid, preparing for a global 48-hour communication lockdown in January 2025. During this time, (allegedly) the truth about the old financial system, the elite’s takedown, and the full activation of the QFS will be broadcast, marking the beginning of the largest wealth redistribution in history.

The Revolution Cannot Be Stopped: As we approach 2025, humanity stands on the brink of financial liberation. The QFS, GESARA, and Redemption Centers are weapons against financial oppression. The elite’s power is crumbling, and nothing can stop what is coming. Align with the QFS—the dawn of a new era is here.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE PRODUCES 600,000 RLUSD TOKENS WHILE STRATEGICALLY LIMITING CIRCULATING SUPPLY

▪️Ripple strategically increases RLUSD supply while keeping the token’s market cap steady.

▪️RLUSD is 7% over-collateralized, backed by $83 million reserves for enhanced stability.

▪️Ripple limits RLUSD circulation to maintain price stability amid competitive stablecoin markets.

Ripple, the blockchain-based digital payment company, has made headlines with the creation of 600,000 new RLUSD tokens. Despite this production, the cautious move by Ripple has left many wondering if Ripple is carefully managing the coin’s value and making sure it stays strong in the competitive crypto market.

Ripple Produces 600,000 RLUSD Token

Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin currently holds a market cap of 53.1 million tokens, even after the recent creation of an additional 600,000 tokens. This indicates that despite producing more tokens, Ripple is maintaining a steady supply.

The company has secured approximately $83 million in reserves, which are backing over $77.2 million worth of RLUSD tokens. This means the stablecoin is 7% over-collateralized, reflecting Ripple’s effort to provide stability and reliability to the token

Furthermore, Ripple has promised to release its first attestation report within 30 days of RLUSD’s public launch. This report will detail the composition of the assets backing the stablecoin, adding transparency to Ripple’s operations and reinforcing its credibility.

Ripple’s Master Plan

Despite the recent creation of more tokens, analyst Arthur believes the company is controlling the supply of RLUSD to keep its value stable. If too many tokens are released too fast, could drop their price, which Ripple wants to prevent.

By limiting the supply now, Ripple may be positioning itself for future conditions that could drive higher demand and adoption of RLUSD.

As Ripple faces robust competition from major players like Circle and Tether, its careful supply management and growing presence in the market could make RLUSD a strong contender in the stablecoin space.

RLUSD’s Role in the XRP Ecosystem

In addition, Ripple President Monica Long believes RLUSD could set a new standard for stablecoins, citing its strong regulatory compliance as a key advantage. By adding RLUSD to the XRP ecosystem, Ripple hopes to increase XRP’s usefulness and improve liquidity for large institutional trades.

This move could make the network even more attractive, especially after Ripple’s partial legal victories, which clarified XRP’s classification in certain situations.

BRICS NEWS:  BRICS NATION ANNOUNCES INTENT TO EMBRACE TRUMP, US AMID TARIFF

In what is a rather surprising turn of events, one BRICS nation has announced its intent to embrace US President-elect Donald Trump and his incoming administration amid the ongoing 100% tariff threat. Indeed, the returning president has been clear on his stance regarding the alliance’s de-dollarization efforts.

In a post to his social media platform late last year, Trump stated he would impose tariffs on BRICS nations. The warning targeted those global south countries attempting to create their own trade currency. For much of his presidential campaign, Trump has noted the importance of maintaining the global status of the greenback.

BRICS Country Turns to Trump? 100% Tariff Warning Drives Plea for Cooperation

The last two years have seen the BRICS bloc increase its prominence on a global scale. Indeed, the economic alliance has sought to challenge the status quo and brought forth renewed de-dollarization efforts. Those pursuits appear to be going off without a hitch until the tail end of 2024.

With the impending arrival of a new president, things are shifting in the United States. Moreover, as a stark warning has been issued, one BRICS nation has announced its intent to embrace Trump and the US as tariffs loom. Moreover, it could lead to a groundbreaking shift for the economic collective.

Indeed, India has reportedly called to strengthen cooperation with the United States, according to officials. Specifically, they have stated clearly their desire to strengthen an economic relationship with the West.

“We are looking forward to a very deep and substantive engagement with the new US administration,” India’s Trade Minister said, according to a Reuters report. To this point, India has embraced bilateral relations with the United States for the Obama, Biden, and first Trump administrations.

Although it is no surprise that it is set to continue, things do appear different in 2025. The BRICS bloc has drawn its line in the sand and made its feelings about the US dollar known. Moreover, America has responded in kind. Ultimately, it will provide an incredibly intriguing geopolitical development to take place over the next year.

It will be on Monday, January 6th. vacation Official for all Iraqis On the occasion of the 104th anniversary of the founding of Army  Iraqi The brave.  link

Tishwash:  Is Iraq facing a cash crisis?

The amount of money sold, domestically and internationally, by the Central Bank in dollars this year has exceeded $62 billion, resulting in the receipt of dinars in equivalent proportion, averaging approximately 80.6 trillion dinars for the year. Non-oil revenues generated from taxes, fees, and customs by the end of October 2024 amounted to 14.3 trillion dinars.

 Combined, these revenues total around 95 trillion dinars. However, by the end of October, Iraq's total expenditures had reached 122 trillion dinars. With two months of expenditures still unaccounted for, it is evident that the dinar reserves derived from oil-based dollar revenues have been exhausted.

This comes despite reports from the Central Bank's Foreign Currency Selling Window, which indicate that total transfers abroad (remittances and credits) this year have reached the highest level in seven years—34% higher than last year. Similarly, dinars returned to the Central Bank and subsequently to the Ministry of Finance in proportion to this increase. So why is there talk of a cash shortage affecting the distribution of December salaries for some ministries in Baghdad and the November salary allocations for the Kurdistan Region?

According to reports from the Iraqi Ministry of Finance on revenues and expenditures, total expenditures for the first nine months of this year amounted to 94.5 trillion dinars, including 85 trillion dinars in operating expenses and 9.5 trillion dinars in investment expenses. However, according to the Ministry of Finance's October report, total expenditures had climbed to 122.7 trillion dinars, with operating expenses accounting for 100.6 trillion dinars and investment expenses rising to 22 trillion dinars.

Looking back at previous months, it becomes evident that average monthly expenditures ranged between 10 and 11 trillion dinars. For instance, total expenditures from the beginning of the year to July were 73 trillion dinars, increasing to 83 trillion dinars in August and 94 trillion dinars in September—demonstrating consistent monthly spending within this range.

However, expenditures surged dramatically in October, reaching 28.2 trillion dinars and bringing the total for the year to 122 trillion dinars by the end of that month. This significant jump was driven by increases in both operating and investment expenditures. Operating expenditures, which typically ranged from 9 to 10 trillion dinars per month, rose to 15.6 trillion dinars in October, while investment expenditures, previously averaging 1 trillion dinars per month, soared to 12.6 trillion dinars in the same period.

As a result of the excessive expenditures in October, the Ministry of Finance now lacks the cash needed to cover expenses at the end of the year. October's spending was nearly triple the average monthly expenditure of previous months.While total revenues for the first 10 months exceeded expenditures, converting the full oil revenue—received in dollars—into Iraqi dinars or conducting domestic transactions in dinars has not been feasible which is due to government policies mandating that all domestic transactions must be conducted in dinars, while foreign transactions must be conducted in dollars and processed through remittance.

According to the Iraqi Ministry of Finance, October's expenditures rose so significantly that the total amount of dinars generated from selling dollars domestically and internationally, combined with non-oil domestic revenues, was insufficient to cover the spending. Total expenditures for the month reached 28 trillion dinars, approximately 18 trillion dinars more than in previous months. It remains unclear how the Ministry of Finance plans to manage expenses for the remainder of the year, as 95% of Iraq's currency is held outside the banking system, which amounts to 95.5 trillion dinars out of a total of 101.3 trillion dinars by the end of November 2024.

The underlying issue here highlights the weaknesses in Iraq's monetary system and the absence of a coherent expenditure and revenue policy. Despite having not spent 60% of its allocated budget, the Ministry of Finance is already encountering significant challenges. Had the budget been fully implemented as planned, cash shortages would likely have arisen mid-year rather than at year-end.

In conclusion, is it true that Iraq has cash problems? Yes, Iraq is indeed facing cash problems. However, these issues are not caused by low oil revenues, declining oil prices, or a shortage of money or dollar issuance. Instead, the root cause lies in the government's economic expenditure policy, which allowed spending to surge by approximately 300% in a single month.  link

Tishwash:  Government Advisor: Monetary Stabilization Mechanism Will Maintain Financial Stability in the Country

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed today, Friday, that the Central Bank has adopted the monetary reinforcement mechanism to feed the national banks' requests for foreign currency, indicating that the monetary reinforcement mechanism will maintain financial stability in the country.

Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that "the function of the Central Bank will continue to move in two directions: the first is to meet the needs of national banks for foreign currency with their correspondents, which confirms that the new monetary reinforcement mechanism will work to provide monetary stability on the part of the monetary authority in the two issues of continuing the monetary sterilization policy that is concerned with controlling the levels of local liquidity by exchanging foreign currency for the dinar,"

Noting that "the new monetary reinforcement mechanism will maintain a fixed exchange rate of 1,320 dinars for every dollar, which will enable the Central Bank to achieve stability in the external value of the Iraqi dinar by controlling the growth in the money supply within the operational objectives of monetary policy through what is called the monetary transmission mechanism to achieve intermediate or real long-term goals in achieving stability in the general price level or reducing growth in inflation rates, and this comes in conjunction with the stability of the exchange rate and the growth of the money supply to achieve stability in the general price level."

Saleh added that "the second trend is to provide foreign currency to correspondents of national banks in order to facilitate the stability of the real supply of basic goods and services flowing into the domestic market with high fluidity, and to make compliance control of foreign currency transactions on two levels: national through the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Funds Office, and external through the role of correspondent banks that undertake the task of auditing compliance issues." link

Member of the Parliamentary Oil, Gas and Resources Committee, Basem Naghamish, considered today, Friday, that most of the problems occurring between Baghdad and Erbil are due to the absence of the oil and gas law.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Evening 1-3-25

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BEARS, BULLS AND REGULATIONS SHAPE CRYPTO’S 2025 ASPIRATIONS

The global cryptocurrency market is capitalized at over $3 trillion. Much of that value is concentrated at the top, among a few key digital tokens.

Bitcoin, as the first and most widely recognized cryptocurrency, plays a central role in the sector’s valuation, commanding a substantial share. At its highest, bitcoin’s market capitalization has approached $2 trillion, representing roughly two-thirds of the landscape’s overall market value.

Bitcoin topped $100,000 as 2024 came to a close, but has skidded down double digits from its peak of over $108,000 around two weeks ago.

This concentration of value at the top has implications for the overall market’s volatility, innovation and the evolution of altcoins, with bitcoin often setting the tone for broader market trends. It also raises questions about the future of crypto market dynamics as new technologies and use cases continue to emerge.

With the news that the Tether stablecoin’s (USDT) market cap fell more than 1% to $137.24 billion this week, the largest decline since the crash of the FTX exchange in November 2022, understanding the impact of regulations on the marketplace is becoming crucial for businesses looking to capture efficiencies and advantages from the use of tokens such as stablecoins.

After all, USDT is supposed to maintain a stable, flat value of $1. As of reporting, the stablecoin is a smidge below that value, sitting at $0.9993. The decline comes after several European Union-based crypto exchanges removed USDT due to compliance issues with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation that took full effect on Dec. 30 (the actual law around stablecoins kicked in six months ago).

Per the MiCA regulations, stablecoin issuers must hold an e-money license in at least one EU member state in order to operate across the 27-nation bloc. Tether, which has faced controversy throughout its history, has yet to apply for an e-money license.

The Role of Institutional Adoption

In 2025, the cryptocurrency market may find itself at a crossroads. If the bulls are right, the industry could see substantial growth, with more institutional investment, regulatory clarity and real-world use cases for cryptocurrencies

However, if the bears prevail, we may witness a volatile market, regulatory crackdowns and a continued struggle to overcome the technology’s shortcomings.

The bullish optimism surrounding institutional adoption is one of the strongest driving forces. In 2025, financial institutions, banks and even central banks are expected to play a significant role in legitimizing cryptocurrencies.

Global financial giants are already eyeing blockchain for solutions like cross-border payments and settlement systems, providing liquidity for crypto markets and solidifying their utility in traditional finance.

Stablecoins — digital currencies pegged to traditional assets like the U.S. dollar — are likely to become a common mode of transaction. With major players in FinTech, like PayPal and Visa, already integrating cryptocurrencies into their platforms and experimenting with stablecoins, real-world use cases could soon be as easy as tapping a credit card.

The Bearish Argument: Volatility, Regulatory Shadows

Perhaps the biggest concern for crypto’s future is government regulation. The lack of clear rules around cryptocurrencies has been a major deterrent for mainstream adoption.

PYMNTS covered on Nov. 25 how cryptocurrencies, and more specifically their underlying blockchain technologies, have gone from a solution in search of a problem to a solution in hopes of some regulatory clarity. Of course, that clarity may come when cryptocurrency companies and other firms embrace and invest in, rather than resist, appropriate guardrails for their industries.

The dynamic situation at home in the U.S. has even led to people like venture capitalist Marc Andreessen arguing that banks are cutting ties with customers on the political right, or with industries such as the cryptocurrency sector.

Writing about the issue earlier this month, PYMNTS argued that while Andreessen’s claims might resonate with the frustrations held by many corners of the cryptocurrency and FinTech sectors, the reality could be far more nuanced than a political assault on those industries.

“After all, innovation typically moves faster than regulation, and the growing strain between traditional banks and future-fit FinTech and crypto firms can also be in part chalked up to the inevitable consequence of outdated regulatory frameworks, stricter know your customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) standards, as well as heightened fraud risks,” that report said.

WESTERN MARKETS LOSING THEIR GRIP ON GOLD & SILVER

Precious metals expert Peter Grandich warns of Western markets losing their grip on gold and silver, with Asia emerging as the dominant force.

In a recent interview by Liberty and Finance, renowned precious metals expert Peter Grandich discussed the shifting dynamics of the global gold and silver markets. Grandich, a seasoned investor with decades of experience, highlighted the diminishing influence of Western markets like London and New York, asserting that "Asia is becoming the center for Metals trading... Europe particularly London and New York as each day goes by is becoming less and less of a force."

This shift, he argued, could have profound implications for market volatility and price discovery. "The difference is there are serious physical buyers of it [gold], not these paper pushers that have existed in London and New York," Grandich emphasized. He further noted that the decline of Western dominance could lead to reduced market manipulation and increased price stability in the long run.

Bullish on Gold, Cautious on Silver

Grandich maintained a bullish outlook on gold, predicting a potential price target of $3,000 per ounce in 2025. He attributed this bullish sentiment to continued central bank buying and the potential for increased mainstream investor interest. However, he cautioned that a correction, potentially reaching $2,300, could occur in the short term.

Regarding silver, Grandich acknowledged its strong fundamentals but expressed concern over its persistent inability to decouple from gold's price movements. He believes that silver needs to break above the $35-$36 per ounce level to establish its momentum.

Geopolitical Uncertainty and the US Dollar

Grandich highlighted the potential impact of geopolitical uncertainty and the weakening US dollar on precious metals prices. He emphasized that the rising national debt and the ongoing trade war could weaken the dollar's strength, bolstering the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset.

Beyond market predictions, Grandich stressed the importance of sound financial planning, emphasizing the need for individuals to prioritize cash flow management and reduce reliance on debt. "Less is more," he stated, emphasizing the importance of living within one's means and minimizing financial risk.

Calls for a Great Debt Reset, the Coming Jubilee

Calls for a Great Debt Reset, the Coming Jubilee

Michael Cowan:  1-2-2025

The global financial landscape feels increasingly precarious. From soaring national debts to crushing household burdens, many are struggling under the weight of obligations they can barely manage.

In such times, whispers of radical solutions emerge, often echoing ancient concepts.

One such concept gaining traction is the idea of a debt jubilee – a large-scale forgiveness of debts, a reset button for the global economy.

Throughout history, jubilees, as envisioned in ancient religious texts, were designed to restore balance and alleviate the burden on the poor. The modern interpretation, though not always religiously motivated, centers on the same principle: a widespread and decisive act of debt forgiveness to address systemic financial imbalances.

But what would this look like in the 21st century, and what are the potential benefits and pitfalls?

The concept of a debt jubilee remains controversial, debated fiercely by economists, policymakers, and the public. While it presents a potentially transformative solution to deep-seated financial imbalances, the risks are considerable.

Whether a modern jubilee is truly around the corner, or whether it remains a radical idea on the fringes, remains to be seen. However, the conversation itself highlights the growing urgency to address the systemic issues that contribute to our current debt crisis.

As the world grapples with the legacy of an increasingly interconnected and financially volatile system, the idea of a debt reset, in some form, will likely continue to gain momentum. The crucial question is not if we need significant change, but how we can achieve a more sustainable and equitable financial future for all.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE XRP NEWS: CEO BRAD GARLINGHOUSE ‘EXCITED’ FOR 2025 AND REAL-WORLD UTILITY

▪️Brad Garlinghouse expressed his enthusiasm for 2025 on X, highlighting the increasing momentum and greater focus on real-world utility.

▪️Ripple made considerable strides in reshaping the financial landscape by forging new partnerships with major financial institutions throughout the year.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has shared his palpable excitement about the potential developments expected in the year 2025, a pivotal moment that could redefine the cryptocurrency landscape.

 He foresees substantial growth for Ripple and a broader transformation in the financial ecosystem as it increasingly embraces digital assets and blockchain technology, with a growing emphasis on real-world utility.

Apart from Brad Garlinghouse’s optimistic outlook, the XRP Army is equally enthusiastic about the prospects for XRP in the current year. A key catalyst for this optimism is the anticipated approval of an XRP-related Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) by the SEC, which many believe could significantly boost XRP’s legitimacy and market appeal.

Furthermore, the prospect of pro-crypto leadership under a Donald Trump presidency, alongside appointments such as Paul Atkins as the incoming SEC Chair, Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary, Billy Long overseeing IRS commissions, and David Sacks in the newly created role of AI and Crypto Czar, signals a promising shift towards a more favorable regulatory environment for digital assets.

Additionally, the long-awaited settlement of the SEC lawsuit against Ripple, a legal battle that has cast a shadow over XRP’s potential, is viewed as a hopeful turning point. Together, these developments suggest not only a brighter future for Ripple but also for the broader cryptocurrency market.

Ripple 2024 Highlights

In 2024, Ripple marked a series of significant milestones that reinforced its mission to transform the financial landscape. The year began with a partnership with EasyA to launch an educational program aimed at teaching over 750,000 developers how to utilize smart contracts on the XRP Ledger. This initiative bolstered Ripple’s commitment to fostering community engagement and innovation.

Ripple also collaborated with SBI Group and HashKey DX to develop customized solutions on the XRP Ledger, with SBI becoming the first Japanese corporation to implement these blockchain solutions in supply chain finance. 

A pivotal moment came in February when Ripple acquired Standard Custody, bringing it closer to securing a coveted U.S. charter and solidifying its presence in the U.S. market.

The announcement of a partnership with Clear Junction in June highlighted Ripple’s dedication to enhancing cross-border payment capabilities with European banks, adding credibility to its operations.

Lastly, Ripple introduced its stablecoin, RLUSD, fully backed by U.S. Treasuries, bank deposits, and cash equivalents through a New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) trust charter. Potential applications for RLUSD include cross-border payments, corporate treasury functions, decentralized finance (DeFi), and trading collateral, along with the advantage of over 90 global payout markets.

These strategic initiatives contributed to XRP’s impressive rise from $0.62 at the start of the year to an all-time high of $2.89 by December 3, with current pricing at $2.40. As we begin this new year, market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic as investors keep a close eye on Ripple’s trajectory and regulatory developments.

X MONEY TO SUPPORT CRYPTO AT LAUNCH? BEST WALLET COULD BE THE MISSING LINK

The imminent debut of Elon Musk’s X Money, also known as X Payments, is sparking widespread speculation.

Theories surrounding the payment platform are swirling after X CEO Lindas Yaccarino confirmed on New Year’s Eve that it’ll launch in 2025 alongside X TV and Grok.

According to American entrepreneur Alex Finn, leaked code recently suggested it’ll be launching imminently – possibly even today.

What’s more, it might only be available in 39 US States initially, where X Money’s backbone, X Payments LLC, has secured regulatory approvals.

X Payments to Include Crypto?

At its core, X Money will enable users of X (formerly Twitter) to tip content creators.

With financial incentives enabled by X Money, creators might be more inclined to produce richer content that enhances X’s offerings – especially those who aren’t reliant on conventional ad revenue models.

The platform’s exact details have not yet been disclosed. Yet, Finn announced it’ll support crypto in a self-hosted X space.

There’s surging suspicion that X Money will support Bitcoin ($BTC) and Dogecoin ($DOGE), owing to Musk’s already accepting $DOGE payments at Tesla. Musk also holds $1.1B $BTC for his $1.19T supercar company.

Considering Elon Musk’s Web3 advocacy, crypto and even meme coin support wouldn’t come as a surprise.

Supporting crypto could also provide huge user benefits, owing to its decentralized nature and speedy processing times. As one X user commented in response to Finn’s post, “No permission needed, no holding back, just pure opportunity.”

Best Wallet Could Streamline X Money

Using a reliable crypto wallet like Best Wallet will be an essential accessory for those interested in Musk’s payment platform. That’s because you need a good wallet for your crypto before you can use it to tip anyone.

Best Wallet is on track to attract 40% of the 11B non-custodial wallet market by 2026. It sets itself apart from competitors like MetaMask owing to its unwavering support of presale projects and 60+ blockchain networks.

Best Wallet’s multi-blockchain support and user-friendly functionality should meet X Money payment requirements.

Another perk is its off-ramping function. Users can easily convert crypto into 100 fiat currencies (including $GBP, $USD, and $EUR) in their bank accounts. This means content creators being tipped in X Money can easily convert their funds into real-world currency for everyday spending.

For just $0.023375, $BEST token buyers can join the crypto wallet token project and have a say in the Best Wallet ecosystem’s future. Given the radical disruption changes to the game that launches like X Money pose, it’s no wonder Best Wallet’s presale has already raised over $6.2M.

However, this isn’t financial advice. Be sure to always do your own research before making any bold investment choices.

Militia Man  To me it looks like the ball is in the central bank's court at this time.  Iraq has to have have some secrecy because it's so highly sensitive.  It's going to have shocks.  It's going to have an impact.  

Mnt Goat   Article:   “STARTING TO IMPLEMENT ASYCUDA GLOBAL SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATING CUSTOMS OPERATIONS”  in this article they are telling us the system will start on Jan 1st 2025. How could this be without the IQD on FOREX for a reference rate?   I believe that this ASYCUDA system will NOT yet be online since the IQD is not yet on FOREX. ...it will need the IQD on FOREX to properly conduct the customs collection service through ASYCUDA...my analytical thinking mind tells me something was held up again. It sounds too fishy to have multiple events being targeted around the same period (beginning of Jan 2025), and all of them relying on the IQD getting to FOREX.  Do you see it too?  Come on folks this is exciting not a disappointment!

Tishwash:  Iraqi Central Bank Streamlines International Transfers

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has announced the successful transition of external transfers from an electronic platform to direct operations by Iraqi banks through their international correspondent banks.

According to a CBI statement, this milestone, fully achieved at the end of December, aligns with global best practices, promoting a stable and secure financial system.

Key highlights include:

Modernisation Journey: Transfers evolved from a currency sale window to an electronic platform and now to correspondent banking systems.

Diverse Currency Support: Iraqi banks can now enhance balances with correspondent banks using various currencies, including USD, INR, CNY, EUR, AED, SAR, and JOD.

Global Integration: The system improves efficiency and aligns Iraq's financial operations with international standards, boosting regional and global financial relationships.

Investment and Trust: This achievement strengthens Iraq's appeal for investment and enhances international financial confidence.

The CBI attributed this progress to extensive technical planning, governmental support, and the contributions of its staff, Iraqi banking institutions, and international partners.

The bank reaffirmed its commitment to fostering good governance, compliance, and anti-money laundering measures, further solidifying Iraq's financial system.  link

Tishwash:  After the electronic platform stopped...Answering questions from Iraqi circles about the new dollar mechanism

Many citizens have raisedIraqisQuestions about the new trading mechanismDollarinIraqHow to withdraw or buy it after stoppingOfficialTo create an electronic platform.

He saidDeputyThe Governor of the Central Bank, Ammar Khalaf, said yesterday that "the mechanism of work on the electronic platform related to foreign transfers has stopped working, but financing foreign trade continues through correspondent banks according to different mechanisms that are parallel to what is in effect in countries around the world."

 Many citizens wondered about the news of the platform that was established.SumerianNews published on the social networking site "Facebook", about the electronic platform and its work, and what will happen to the dollar, and whether it will witnessIraqA new rise in currency exchange rates.

One citizen said via the comment feature: "What is meant by the electronic platform? Can someone explain?", while another replied that "the blockade will return to Iraq and the exchange rate will be at least 250 thousand dinarsIraqiFor $100.”

Another asked about “the continued arrival of foreign remittances toIraqAnd giving the currency to travelers," while another pointed out that "unemployment will return and food prices will quadruple from their normal levels and famine will return to Iraq."

Others praised the decision to stop the electronic platform, considering it "an effective government achievement that will be beneficial in succession and a transformation process that enhances the economic role and prepares for investment opportunities with complete confidence, and that the government is activating the supervisory role over the markets and exchanges and dealing in the dinar only to raise the value of the Iraqi dinar."

Another pointed out that "the platform was a front for theftDollarThus, imposing control through financial transfer by the bank will contribute to balancing the market and controlling the rise of the dollar,” and another supported him by saying that “this step may have several reasons, such as:

1- Controlling the dollar exchange rate: trying to stabilize the priceDollarIn front of the dinarIraqiBy reducing the flowDollar

2-Preventing dollar smuggling: If there are indications thatDollarIt is used in smuggling operations or there is an inflation in demand for it due to illegal purposes.

Tightening financial controls to try to prevent fraud and circumvention of policies. Therefore, the effects will depend on how this decision is implemented and the extent of alternative plans to provideDollarFor the commercial and service sector.

It is worth noting that "the Central Bank explained that grantingDollarFor travelers, it continues at airports according to the approved mechanism, which is the best in limiting the occurrence ofDollarFor the traveler, noting that "this decision is part of a series of reforms aimed at facilitating financial procedures and stimulating the economy."

What is the "electronic platform"
? The electronic platform for money transfers is a mechanism adopted to ensure the regulation of foreign money transfers and limit manipulation of exchange rates. It works to document commercial operations and transfer funds by banks and financial companies, ensuring more effective control over hard currency flows in and out of the country.

Will the cancellation of the platform affect the dollar price?
The impact of the cancellation of the platform on the priceDollarIt will be reflected in prices as follows:

1- Increased demand forDollarIn the black market, in the absence of an electronic platform, demand may increase.DollarIn the black market due to the absence of control mechanisms, which leads to high exchange rates outside official channels.

2- Weak confidence in the dinar, as canceling the platform may weaken confidence in the Iraqi dinar, especially if effective alternatives are not put in place to ensure market stability. Weak confidence means that citizens and investors may withdraw their money in dinars and transfer it toDollarAs a safe haven.

3- The impact of smuggling and money laundering, as canceling the platform may cancel strict control over dollar smuggling operations, and smuggling and money laundering practices may expand, which increases the demand forDollarSignificantly and affects the central bank's reserves.

4- The market depends on supply and demand. With the cancellation of the platform, the currency market may become more affected by direct supply and demand. This may lead to severe fluctuations in the exchange rate, especially in light of unstable economic and political conditions.

Will the dollar rise?

The government and the central bank can rely on other control tools such as strengthening the role of local banks, imposing strict restrictions on foreign transfers, activating alternative control tools, or pumping more dollars into the market to meet demand and maintain price stability. Investment can also be encouraged and reliance on foreign currencies reduced, to relieve pressure onDollarAnd strengthening the dinar, all these measures can maintain pricesDollar.   link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani confirms that the government has taken practical steps to diversify the economy

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed today, Thursday, that the government has put in place clear practical steps aimed at diversifying the Iraqi economy away from total dependence on oil revenues.

Al-Sudani said in a speech during the opening and launch of several projects in the oil sector in Baiji district in Salah al-Din Governorate, which was followed by the / Al-Maalouma / agency, that “the government has worked since the first days of assuming its duties to reconsider the philosophy of the Iraqi economy based on rentierism, and to put in place practical steps, not theoretical ones, in the matter of diversifying the economy."

He pointed out that "Iraqi competencies have begun to manufacture and establish units in refineries, which gives value to the product and drives market stability. A country that produces more than 4 million barrels per day cannot continue to import oil and gas derivatives."

He added: “We have started several strategic projects that are being implemented for the first time in the country and in the history of the oil industry, and we have made great strides in solving the problems, especially in the issue of gas flaring, through The contracts and agreements concluded, and we have set a ceiling not exceeding 2028 to stop gas flaring and a zero percent rate in flaring associated with gas, and we are continuing to promote the patches and fields for free gas.”

He pointed out that "the projects that were opened and construction was launched today are important to achieve a shift in the oil industry," directing "the Ministry of Oil to complete the studies for the petrochemical project and the FCC project in Baiji."

He announced "a plan to make Baiji the largest oil industrial city in Iraq and the region," noting "work to adopt international standards and environmentally friendly quality."

He pointed out that "work is underway to complete the strategic integrated southern project, which is being implemented for the first time in the field of oil development and gas investment, and to establish a power station, refinery and petrochemical plant in one place."  link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

HOW DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TECHNOLOGY CAN ENHANCE CROSS BORDER PAYMENT SOLUTIONS

Over the last few years, financial institutions around the world have embraced tokenization for capital market asset management. Kelvin Li, Head of Platform Tech and Jessica Cao, Head of International Financial Institutions Partnerships at Ant International, discuss how distributed ledger technology can be leveraged with tokenized assets to enable interoperability.

Tokenization as a concept can have different meanings. In the domain of payments and settlement, it typically refers to the integration of new technologies to either expand their capabilities or improve their performance through distributed ledger technology (DLT). 

According to a 2024 McKinsey report, the tokenized asset market is projected to grow to $1.9T by 2030, with tokenized deposits projected to reach a market capitalization of $1.1T and other assets classes making up the remaining $0.8T.

The nature of tokenized deposits could inherently lend itself to facilitate near real-time in a cross border environment. The current offering of tokenized deposits is bounded by a single platform or issuer, while cross border payments entail different currencies and payment systems. This means that tokenized deposits would need a way to be exchanged to ensure the transfer of funds from one jurisdiction to another can be completed end-to-end.

Considering its potential to revolutionize cross border payments, leading industry players are working towards an interoperable tokenized asset ecosystem that could address these challenges. One solution could be a token exchange model enabled by liquidity providers. While liquidity provision is not a novel concept, innovation in the Web 3.0 space, by platforms such as Uniswap, significantly popularized and advanced the concept by making liquidity provision more accessible. In the regulated world, a similar model can be borrowed to incentivize liquidity provision.

At a mature stage where token types are no longer a barrier to payments, we then can reap the benefits of DLT to enable lower costs, real-time atomic payments, more efficient reconciliation and more secure transmissions, bringing about the next evolution of cross border payments.

Enabling Liquidity Providers in Token Exchange

Liquidity providers would play a key role in facilitating cross-issuer or cross-currency tokenized deposit transfers. In this context, the liquidity provider would perform the token exchange and provide the price quotation for different token pairs. Leveraging smart contracts, the liquidity provider can perform on-chain fulfilment of the token swap, ensuring transparent, immutable and secure transactions to occur in real-time. In addition, programmability embedded in the tokens, such as conditional payments, would be able to enhance transaction efficiency and flexibility.

For example, conditional payments can automate processes such as releasing funds only when predefined conditions are met, reducing the need for intermediaries for lower cost and mitigating risks of disputes. 

This programmability can also enable features like automated compliance checks, escrow arrangements, or milestone-based disbursements, all of which can streamline operations.

While liquidity providers are rewarded with liquidity cost and price spread, the entry of more liquidity providers will unlock additional liquidity. Additionally, liquidity providers could exchange tokenized deposits with each other, creating a more robust and interconnected liquidity network.

This would further enhance market efficiency by enabling seamless transfers and price discovery across different currencies and platforms.

We do recognize the potential drawbacks of this structure, such as the risk of liquidity fragmentation, as liquidity providers would need to separately fund both fiat and token accounts. This could lead to higher costs and, consequently, less efficient price discovery.

However, this structure can be more inclusive compared to existing payment services, potentially driving higher efficiency in cross border payments from end to end.

Ant International’s Multi-Currency Tokenization Deposit for FX Payments

At Ant International, due to the global nature of e-commerce transactions, we initiate and receive payments around-the-clock in multiple jurisdictions. We are piloting an approach for a deposits token exchange model. 

Partnering with a liquidity provider, we facilitated cross border payments by leveraging banking partners to provide off-chain FX pricing through Price Oracle. 

The tokens used to complete the cross border payments were denominated in different currencies and by different issuers. We found that the token exchange model was a potential solution for cross border payments using tokenized deposits and intend to scale up this usage in the future.

With the tokenized asset market and global business-to-business payments market set to increase exponentially in the coming years, financial institutions have started to review and enhance their existing solutions and infrastructure to ensure they are strategically positioned to support this growth. But one asset class or a single financial institution alone will not make a big enough impact.

In order to enhance cross border payment solutions across the entire industry, public-private collaboration still remains key, through industry-wide initiatives. We have already seen a number of forward-looking central banks and regulators launch such programs, which are still ongoing. 

These projects will not only help to advance existing technology, they also have the potential to enhance existing laws and regulations and ensure that the key users and beneficiaries of tokenization are protected.

CHINA’S NEW RULES FORCE BANKS TO FLAG TRANSACTIONS WITH CRYPTO: REPORT

China’s new rules require banks to flag risky transactions, including those involving crypto, making it harder for mainland investors to trade digital assets.

China‘s foreign exchange regulator, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, has rolled out new rules requiring banks to keep a closer eye on transactions involving digital assets, the South China Morning Post has learned, citing the regulator’s announcement.

The rules, applicable to local banks in mainland China, focus on identifying “risky foreign exchange trading behaviors,” the report reads. These include underground banking, cross-border transactions involving crypto, and illegal financial activities.

Banks now have to track transactions by checking things like who’s involved, where the money is coming from, and how often the trades are happening. Additionally, Chinese banks are also expected to create risk-control measures for these entities and limit their access to certain services, the report says.

The new rules are part of China’s push to tighten control over crypto, including Bitcoin trading and mining, which officials see as a risk to financial stability.

China has taken a tough stance on crypto over the years. Back in 2017, Beijing banned initial coin offerings and shut down domestic crypto exchanges to prevent financial risks. By 2021, things escalated with a full ban on crypto trading and mining. Despite these restrictions, it’s still technically legal for individuals to hold digital assets, though the gray areas in regulation keep things complicated.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BINANCE MADE HISTORY: FIRST CRYPTO EXCHANGE TO SECURE BROKER-DEALER LICENSE IN BRAZIL!

▪️Binance crypto exchange secures broker-dealer license in Brazil.

▪️Richard Teng highlights Binance’s dedication to compliance and Brazil’s clear crypto regulatory framework.

▪️Brazil marks Binance's 21st regulatory milestone, solidifying its global leadership in crypto markets.

Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, has made a significant move in Brazil by securing approval from the Central Bank of Brazil to acquire a licensed broker-dealer institution. This marks Binance’s 21st global regulatory achievement, and it’s a big win for the platform in Latin America’s largest market.

Binance’s New License in Brazil

With the full approval to take over Sim;paul, a licensed broker-dealer, Binance can now operate with even more efficiency in Brazil. The license not only allows Binance to distribute securities and issue electronic money, but it also makes Binance the first crypto exchange to hold a broker-dealer license in the country.

This new approval positions Binance to better comply with Brazil’s growing regulatory framework for crypto assets.

However, Richard Teng, Binance’s CEO, expressed his excitement about the approval on X. He said Brazil is a growing crypto market, and this approval shows Binance’s commitment to following the rules while offering a safe platform for its users. Teng thanked local regulators for their work in setting clear rules for the industry.

Brazil’s Efforts to Regulate Crypto

Brazil, ranked 10th in the global crypto adoption index, is taking steps to regulate the crypto industry. The Central Bank and IRS have created proposals for new rules and are asking experts and the public for feedback.

Additionally, legislators in the country are discussing bills related to asset segregation and stablecoins, signaling a future-forward approach to crypto regulation.

Binance’s Expanding Global Reach

This approval is just one example of Binance’s commitment to global expansion. The company has also received regulatory approval in other countries like Argentina, India, Kazakhstan, and Indonesia. Binance holds licenses in places like Dubai, France, Japan, and El Salvador, showing its global reach and commitment to following rules everywhere.

MEMBERS OF US CONGRESS BACKED BY CRYPTO PACS TO TAKE OFFICE ON JAN. 3

Interest groups suggested that a majority of lawmakers in the US House of Representatives would be “pro-crypto” after the 2024 election.

United States lawmakers who benefitted from support from the cryptocurrency industry in their respective 2024 primaries or elections will soon be sworn into office for the 119th session of Congress.

Crypto executives and political action committees (PACs) like Fairshake and its affiliates poured millions of dollars into media buys to support “pro-crypto” candidates in the 2024 election cycle, which could have contributed to some politicians winning in certain tight races across the country.

One of the most high-profile elections saw Republican Bernie Moreno defeating incumbent Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown by roughly 200,000 votes after the Defend American Jobs PAC spent more than $40 million.

According to data from the election influence tracking website Follow The Crypto, 10 new members of the US Senate expected to be sworn in benefitted in some way from funding from the cryptocurrency industry.

From a $6,600 individual contribution from Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen to Maryland Senator Angela Alsobrooks to more than $10 million from the Protect Progress PAC — also a Fairshake affiliate — to support Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, crypto money arguably influenced the composition of the next US Senate just as much if not more than other special interest groups.

The makeup of the US House of Representatives is a similar story, with 63 new members taking office in January. Fairshake and its affiliates poured millions of dollars into primary races in 2024 to support both Democratic and Republican candidates who had expressed views favoring the crypto industry.

In one of its biggest expenditures resulting in a win for the candidate, Protect Progress spent roughly $1.7 million in media buys to back Alabama Representative Shomari Figures over Anthony Daniels in the primary for the state’s 2nd Congressional District. Some House candidates, including Texas Representative Sylvester Turner, appeared to have not received any support from crypto executives or PACs.

No signs of crypto money stopping in the next election cycle

According to the advocacy group Stand With Crypto — which also attempted to influence US voters to choose candidates it considered favorable to the industry — roughly 270 lawmakers in the next session of Congress will be “pro-crypto,” with a clear majority in the House.

The composition of both chambers could affect legislation in 2025 on how to regulate crypto in the US through proposed bills like the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21).

After their 2024 election wins, some in the industry have suggested that they will continue their approach to supporting candidates in the 2026 midterms and beyond. As of November, Fairshake reported having roughly $103 million to be used for the 2026 election cycle, primarily funded by Coinbase and Ripple. All 435 House members, serving two-year terms, will be up for election again at that time.

Clare:  Al-Saadi: Closing the dollar selling platform will not affect its prices

1/2/2025  Information / Anbar..

Economic expert Rashid Al-Saadi confirmed today, Thursday, that stopping the work of the electronic platform for selling the dollar does not affect the rise in the price of the US currency, noting that the decision came as a result of pressure from the US Federal Reserve and internal parties.

Al-Saadi said in a statement to the Al-Maalouma Agency, “The platform was a form of control imposed by the US Federal Reserve, and its cancellation allows Iraq to return to the banking system that was in effect before 2003, where the merchant relied on the correspondent bank without the need for this system imposed by America.”

He added that "the Central Bank of Iraq has started a plan to deal with a basket of foreign currencies to compensate for the dollar and open up to foreign banks, with the aim of reducing dependence on the US dollar," stressing that "closing the platform did not significantly affect the rise in the dollar price as some media outlets promoted.”

He pointed out that "the Central Bank allowed 36 banks to deal with other foreign currencies, including those covered by US sanctions, to mitigate the damage caused by reliance on the dollar."  LINK

Frank26   Question:  "Does the rate have to be posted on Forex for it to be official?"  No because Forex is secondary...The number one place that it will be at long before anybody is the CBI.

Mnt Goat  ...my CBI contact...told me that the next in-country rate change of the dinar is coming and sooner than we might think.

Militia Man   Article:   "Parliamentary Finance Committee demands clear guarantees to resume oil exports from the region"  That would likely be an exchange rate for determination of the precise clarifications and guarantees.  It looks to be a timing thing now for Iraq to expose a new exchange rate...

CBI achievement, international connection and banks that’s great

Western Markets Losing Their Grip On Gold & Silver | Peter Grandich

Liberty and finance:  1-1-2025

Peter Grandich offers a comprehensive outlook on the metals and broader financial markets, with a particular focus on gold and silver.

He expects gold prices to climb toward $3000 by the end of 2025, driven by central bank purchases and growing interest in physical assets as the global financial system faces mounting debt and uncertainty. Grandich argues that Asia's increasing dominance in metals trading will weaken the influence of

Western markets, making downward manipulation less likely. He also warns of the risks posed by U.S. debt, the retirement crisis, and crumbling infrastructure, which could destabilize the economy, despite political optimism.

His financial philosophy centers on capital preservation, advising against excessive risk-taking and emphasizing the importance of cash flow management, family, and faith in navigating uncertain times.
