Tishwash:  Financial disclosure and transparency is a strategic approach for the Central Bank

Samir Al-Nusairi

 In the past few days, officials in financial and monetary policy were surprised by the statements of some unspecialized analysts and unspecialized media outlets about the crisis of the lack of liquidity in the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank and the impact of this on delaying the securing of salaries of employees, retirees and social care.

 The truth is that there is absolutely no such crisis, and this is what the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank confirmed.

Central banks in the world's countries aim primarily to achieve economic stability by achieving monetary and financial stability according to their programs and strategies that aim to maintain stability in the exchange rate of their local currencies against other foreign currencies and build sufficient foreign reserves according to special international standards.

Banks are also evaluated based on other standards related to facing crises, challenges and economic and political shocks in their countries and controlling stable rates of inflation and interest rates and implementing compliance systems and rules and combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

The Central Bank of Iraq's journey during 2023 and 2024 has proven that it is moving steadily towards achieving the objectives of monetary policy and with a consistent and strategic approach that relies on transparency and disclosure of financial data and dealing with international financial organizations and institutions, based on the keenness to restore confidence in international banking transactions, which Iraq suffered from in previous years due to reputational risks and the negative media impact towards harming the Iraqi economy and leaking inaccurate and fabricated data, information and statements intentionally or by relying on data from other than its official source, which is the Central Bank exclusively.

This led the Central Bank's management, which assumed responsibility in 2023, to draw up its third strategy, and one of its most prominent main and sub-goals was to adopt transparency and disclosure locally and internationally about the progress of the results achieved by the financial and banking sector and adherence to the standard international standards applied by reputable international banks, which led to the creation of a new and balanced relationship with international banks and banking institutions based on trust in the financial data provided and announced by the Central Bank.

This is what he announced from statistics, data and accurate analyses of what was achieved during the past two years. These are positive indicators achieved by the Central Bank for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2022 and 2023, as the total deposits in banks operating in Iraq grew by (4.2%) and amounted to (127.6) trillion dinars, compared to its value of (122.4) trillion dinars in the third quarter of 2023, and the cash credit granted by operating banks also recorded a growth of (11.6%) and amounted to (72.7) trillion dinars, compared to its value of (65.1) trillion dinars in the third quarter of 2023.

Indicators and data showed that the narrow money supply in Iraq recorded a growth of (4.1%) in the third quarter of 2024, as its value reached (158.6) trillion dinars, compared to its value of (152.4) trillion dinars in the third quarter of 2023. In contrast, the broad money supply in Iraq recorded a growth of (3.3%), as its value reached (179.1) trillion dinars, compared to its value of (173.9) trillion dinars in the third quarter of 2023.

The Central Bank's gold reserves also recorded a significant growth of (57%) in the third quarter of 2024, reaching (16) trillion dinars, compared to (10.7) trillion dinars in the third quarter of 2023, and the annual inflation rates in Iraq are among the lowest annual inflation rates in the countries of the region for the months of August and September of 2024, ranging between (3.1%) and (3.7%) respectively, which reflects price stability and the success of monetary policy in Iraq.

This confirms that the data issued by the Central Bank, published on its website and included in all media releases it issues, refute what is stated by non-specialists, such as representatives and analysts in various media outlets, especially regarding liquidity, reserves and salaries.

Through my analysis as a follower and specialist, I believe that the Central Bank’s disclosure of financial data with the required accuracy will greatly help restore confidence in our national economy and the Iraqi banking sector locally and internationally, because disclosure, transparency and credibility will contribute to restoring confidence in the Iraqi banking sector and raising the rate of financial inclusion. link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

DEEPSEEK AI DEBUT SPARKS CRYPTO MARKET SELL-OFF AMID RISING TECH COMPETITION

The release of DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to rival OpenAI's ChatGPT, triggered a sell-off in U.S. tech stocks, bringing crypto down too. But analysts say cheaper AI may actually be good news for the space.

This advanced model is reportedly faster and cheaper than its American counterpart, offering features such as natural language processing and integration capabilities that position it as a direct competitor in the global AI arms race. 

Cheaper AI models benefit both crypto and broader AI consumers by lowering the cost barrier to access advanced AI tools.

Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin (BTC) fell by 4% to $100,000, while Ethereum (ETH) dropped by 6% to $3,100. Meanwhile, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies fell by 8%, dropping to $3.52 trillion, according to CoinGecko. Liquidations over the past 24 hours totaled nearly $1 billion, according to CoinGlass.

Knee-Jerk

The debut of DeepSeek, coupled with intensifying competition in the AI sector, is reshaping investor sentiment across both tech stocks and the cryptocurrency market. Investors are selling riskier assets as they take time to digest this new information and how it might affect their holdings.

Jean Rausis, co-founder of decentralized finance ecosystem SmarDex, noted that the drop in crypto prices is more of a knee-jerk reaction to tech news rather than a direct consequence of the DeepSeek release itself.

“Because crypto trades 24/7, it’s often the go-to when big tech news breaks and the US market is closed – even if it has nothing to do with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies,” Rausis said.

Crypto’s strong correlation with the Nasdaq underscores its position within the same investment category as tech stocks, Rausis added, explaining that both markets often respond similarly to major news due to shared investor sentiment and overlapping liquidity sources.

“Investors in crypto share the same mindset as tech stockholders, and the liquidity sources are often the same, so they often move in tandem when big tech news breaks,” he said. “It doesn’t really have anything to do with fundamentals – just sentiment.”

Long-Term Positive

Despite the initial panic, Rausis believes competition in AI is ultimately positive for consumers and aligns with crypto’s ethos of decentralization. “For traders, this volatility could just be an opportunity to buy in at a lower price,” he said.

Anthony Pompliano, Founder & CEO of Professional Capital Management, echoed Rausis’ sentiment in a post on X this morning. He said that while DeepSeek’s launch sparked uncertainty and volatility in the market, broader access to AI should be long-term positive.

“More companies are able to leverage the technology to create economic activity and drive GDP growth,” Pompliano wrote. “Individuals should be able to save time and become more effective at their jobs. And more problems will be solved. So Deepseek’s innovation will drive more use of AI, rather than less. This is all positive on a macro basis.”  

Fake DeepSeek Token

Amid the market drop, a fraudulent token claiming ties to DeepSeek briefly surged to a $48 million market cap on Solana, only to plunge to $6 million, according to Bird Eye. Created weeks before DeepSeek’s release, the token exploited the hype surrounding the AI model.

 “DeepSeek has not issued any cryptocurrency,” the team stated, clarifying that it operates only one verified X account.

BRICS TO INTRODUCE BITCOIN RESERVE? US EXPERT SAYS ITS POSSIBLE

Both the BRICS alliance and the United States have been engaged in some brewing geopolitical conflict over the last month. With US President Donald Trump eyeing a steep 100% tariff threat, all eyes are on what the bloc could do. Moreover, with both sides looking to continue their growth in the digital asset class, one expert says BRICS could be set to introduce its own Bitcoin reserve.

The news follows the announcement that the US would be introducing its own cryptocurrency stockpile. Although it is not the strategic BTC reserve many had hoped, it still will see the country firmly embrace the asset class. In response, one expert notes that the global south could turn to the leading cryptocurrency by market cap.

BRICS Bitcoin Reserve a Possibility as Nations Begin Cryptocurrency Embrace

The United States has firmly embraced cryptocurrencies since Donald Trump was inaugurated last week. Indeed, he has already ordered the asset to become a “national priority.” Meanwhile, speaking at the World Economic Forum, he claimed the country would soon become the “world capital” of AI and crypto.

That has led many to theorize what the rest of the world could do. Specifically, a host of nations are seeking to also implement similar action. Chief among them is the BRICS alliance, which one expert says could turn to create its own Bitcoin reserve.

US Space Force officer Jason P. Lowery recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to discuss the prospects. Specifically, he discussed the economic alliance’s prospects for its own cryptocurrency initiatives. However, he noted one token remained key.

“Do you really think BRICS is interested in adding a meme coin to their reserves, or one controlled by an American CEO?” Lowery said of crypto options like XRP. “Do you believe they’d choose a USD stablecoin issued by an American company trying to position itself as a neo-Federal Reserve Bank?” he further questioned.

“Or are they far more likely to adopt the coin that has been relentlessly vilified and condemned by the US for over 15 years?” he added. “That coin guarantees covering access to block space, ensuring transactions cannot be censored or denied, provided they continue to possess the physical power and infrastructure ‘they’ve already invested in."

This echoes similar sentiments made by Russian President Vladimir Putin himself. The leader applauded Bitcoin. Moreover, he noted that it is an asset that cannot be controlled. As the bloc has struggled against sanctions and US dollar weaponization, this seems increasingly important.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE SECURES LICENSES IN NEW YORK AND TEXAS, EXPANDING U.S. FOOTPRINT

In a latest development, Ripple has obtained Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs) in New York and Texas, further expanding its presence in the U.S.

These licenses enable Ripple to offer compliant cross-border payment services, enhancing its ability to provide financial institutions and crypto businesses with faster, more efficient payment solutions. This news comes as firms are prepared for a crypto-friendly regulatory regime under President Donald Trump.

Notably, MTLs allow Ripple Payments customers to access a licensed version of its cross-border payments solution in the U.S., where transactions are managed end-to-end by Ripple on behalf of the customers.

55 Global Approvals

In addition to the two new MTLs, Ripple’s license portfolio now totals around 55 global approvals, including the prestigious New York BitLicense and a Limited Purpose Trust Company Charter.

“We’re continuing to see more interest from financial institutions to crypto businesses that want to unlock the benefits of crypto and blockchain for faster, cost-efficient and 24/7 cross-border payments,” Joanie Xie, Ripple Managing Director of North America, noted.

“With years of experience working in both crypto and with financial institutions, Ripple is well-positioned to support companies who are ready to take advantage of the current landscape.”

Its other regulatory approvals include registration as a VASP in Ireland and the Cayman Islands, and an in-principle license in Dubai. Ripple Payments has also grown its client base in North America, adding new partners like Bancoli, CambioReal, and GeoSwift in 2024, helping clients navigate the evolving financial ecosystem.

A Significant Shift Ahead?

Ripple’s recent U.S. regulatory approvals align with the Trump administration’s favorable stance on cryptocurrencies. It also noted that the U.S. industry players are optimistic about the upcoming four years, expecting a more crypto-friendly environment under President Donald Trump.

In a related move, the SEC recently repealed SAB 121, which had placed stringent conditions on banks providing digital asset custody services. This policy change is viewed as a significant step toward the broader integration of blockchain technology into traditional financial systems.

OKX, CRYPTO.COM SECURE FULL MICA LICENSES TO REACH 400M POTENCIAL EU USERS

While some major exchanges, including Binance, have sought alternative regions due to regulatory challenges, OKX and Crypto.com have doubled down on their commitment to Europe.

▪️OKX and Crypto.com secured full MiCA licenses, enabling seamless crypto services across 30 EEA markets for 400+ million users.

▪️OKX offers 240+ crypto tokens, 260 trading pairs, free euro deposits, and diverse trading tools like bot trading.

▪️MiCA’s harmonized framework empowers long-term crypto growth, with Europe emerging as a hub for blockchain innovation.

OKX and Crypto.com reached a major milestone on January 27 by obtaining full licenses under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) granted regulatory approval to both platforms, enhancing their operations across the European Economic Area (EEA).

The MiCA license empowers OKX and Crypto.com to provide regulated crypto services across the EEA. This is facilitated by MiCA’s “passporting” feature, which allows licensed entities to operate seamlessly in EU nations under a unified regulatory framework. Consequently, users in the region gain improved access to secure and reliable cryptocurrency services.

Expanding Services for EEA Users

OKX aims to expand its newly licensed operations by providing diverse services such as spot trading, bot trading, and over-the-counter (OTC) crypto token transactions. The platform will adapt its website and mobile app to local languages, currency options, and regional customer support, ensuring accessibility for users in specific markets.

Similarly, Crypto.com plans to deliver a variety of cryptocurrency services tailored for European users. With its license, the company seeks to maintain a seamless and compliant experience across international borders, solidifying its presence in the EU market.

Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe, highlighted the critical role of the MiCA license as a key achievement in promoting responsible leadership within the cryptocurrency industry. He noted that the Malta Financial Services Authority is globally recognized for its robust regulatory framework.

“The MiCA regulation in the EU is particularly forward thinking as it’s harmonized across the region. Through passporting, MiCA allows us to reach more than 400 million potential customers in 30 EEA markets,” said Ghoos.

MiCA Sets the Stage for Crypto Growth

OKX now provides regulated access to over 240 crypto tokens and 260 trading pairs, including 61 euro-crypto options, under MiCA-compliant operations. Users can deposit and withdraw euros for free via bank transfers or purchase cryptocurrencies using cards and reliable payment methods.

The MiCA framework enables crypto users to explore long-term investments, trading opportunities, and tools like automated bot trading. Ghoos emphasized Europe’s vast potential as a hub for blockchain and digital assets, stating that the license establishes a solid foundation for industry growth in the region.

While some major exchanges, including Binance, have sought alternative regions due to regulatory challenges, OKX and Crypto.com have doubled down on their commitment to Europe.

By embracing MiCA’s framework, the two platforms are setting a precedent for others to follow. Apart from OKX and Crypto.com, Bitpanda also secured MiCA license in Germany.

Fed to Launch ‘Bazooka’ After Crash

Fed to Launch ‘Bazooka’ After Crash

David Lin:  1-26-2025

In a recent interview, Matthew Piepenburg, a partner of Von Greyerz AG, shared his insights on market sentiment, managing a potential U.S. debt crisis, and the future outlook for gold, the U.S. dollar, and monetary policy with David Lin.

This article highlights key points from their conversation, emphasizing prudent risk management, addressing debt concerns, and exploring the roles of gold and dollar in investors’ portfolios.

As an investor, managing risks in today’s volatile market environment is of paramount importance. To succeed, Piepenburg suggests focusing on capital preservation and exit strategies rather than purely chasing returns. He highlights the need to be aware of changing market conditions and adapting accordingly.

One possible scenario to prepare for is a potential debt crisis in the United States. With increasing debt levels and potential interest rate hikes, the risk of a debt crisis remains a real possibility, according to Piepenburg. As such, investors must evaluate their risk tolerance and ensure a well-diversified portfolio to navigate through these challenging times.

Gold’s historical role as a safe-haven asset and store of value positions it well as a hedge against potential debt crises or other economic downturns. Piepenburg advises investors to view gold as insurance, rather than a speculative asset.

Meanwhile, the outlook for the U.S. dollar remains uncertain. On one hand, the dollar may benefit from its status as the world’s primary reserve currency, especially in times of market stress.

On the other hand, the risks associated with potential debt crises and monetary policy could lead to currency devaluation and harm the dollar’s standing.

In conclusion, navigating market turmoil requires a disciplined approach to risk management, a keen awareness of potential debt crises, and a well-thought-out allocation to safe-haven assets like gold.

 By preparing for uncertain market conditions and understanding the dynamics of debt, monetary policy, and currency values, investors can make informed decisions and protect their wealth amidst a challenging investment landscape.

Judy Note: There was expected to soon be a Global Blackout, Martial Law and GESARA massive transfer of wealth from the Global Elites back to The People.

~~~~~~~~~~

Sun. 26 Jan. 2025: KABOOM! Trump Declares the End of Income Taxes! IT MUST BE the NESARA GESARA Era! VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group

NESARA GESARA—The GLOBAL Reset that Will Destroy the Old World!

Debt Forgiveness – A Total Financial Reset!

POOF! Your crushing debts? GONE! All your credit card balances, mortgages, and loans—wiped clean. How? Because the entire banking system that enslaved you in endless debt has been built on illigal activities. That’s right—this isn’t just a favor or a bailout. NESARA is correcting decades of financial crimes committed by banks and governments alike. This is a financial jubilee, the likes of which the world has NEVER seen before.

But don’t get too comfortable. This only applies to debt tied to the corrupt banking system. If you owe money outside of it, you’re still on the hook. This is selective justice, targeting the core of the corrupt financial empire.

Tax Liberation – The IRS Gets SMASHED!

Are you sick of handing over your hard-earned cash to the IRS every year? Say goodbye to that nightmare! The IRS, which has been acting unconstitutionally from the start, is about to be DEAD AND BURIED. Income tax? GONE. That’s right! NESARA obliterates income taxes, and it’s about time. For years, the government has been siphoning money from your paycheck illegally, and NESARA is going to stop this robbery in its tracks.

In its place, NESARA brings in a simple 14% flat tax on non-essential goods. That means no taxes on food, medicine, or used goods. It’s fair. It’s simple. And most importantly, it keeps the government’s greedy hands out of your pocket.

Federal Reserve—GAME OVER!

The Federal Reserve, that shadowy institution that’s been pulling the strings behind the scenes for decades, is about to be SNUFFED OUT! NESARA doesn’t just regulate it—it eliminates the entire system. Once and for all, we’re kicking the Federal Reserve to the curb and taking back control of our money.

A new U.S. Treasury-backed “Rainbow Currency” will replace the worthless paper dollars we’ve been using. And guess what? This new currency will be backed by gold, silver, and platinum—REAL assets, not the phony money the Federal Reserve has been printing for years. This isn’t just reform—it’s a total financial revolution.

Financial Privacy Restored – YOUR Money, YOUR Business!

Say goodbye to the constant surveillance and hacking of your personal finances. Under NESARA, your financial privacy is restored. The new U.S. Treasury Reserve Banking System will protect your money from thieves, hackers, and the prying eyes of Big Brother. The days of the government knowing every move you make are over!

This isn’t just about security. It’s about reclaiming control of your financial life. No more tracking. No more surveillance. Your money is yours and no one else’s.

Restitution and Redemption – Getting Back What’s Rightfully Ours!

NESARA doesn’t just stop with reforming the present—it also focuses on correcting the wrongs of the past. The corrupt elites who’ve stolen from us for generations? They’re going to pay. We’re talking restitution for every unconstitutional act committed upon humanity. All the hidden taxes, interest payments, and debt slavery will be accounted for.

And then there’s the Redemption—your currencies and bonds, including the ZIM Bonds, will be exchanged for higher rates, with part of the funds allocated for personal use and the rest earmarked for humanitarian projects. This isn’t just about money—it’s about justice. It’s time to take back what’s been stolen from us and build a future free from oppression.

Frank26   The new lower notes IMO will only work with a new exchange rate and not the 1310.  [The dinars] are the highest form of intel and highest form of security that there is on this planet Earth right now.  It [lower notes] is the  most highly guarded object and secret at this moment...The CBI and Sudani cannot afford one small slip up, one tiny little leak,  even the color.  You don't want any information to be leaded out...even the shape of the new lower notes.  All this must be kept  tightly under wraps until the new exchange rate is finally released... 

Fnu Lnu  Some people apparently have no idea how the oil business works. The originating price for oil is roughly $34 per barrel. The rest of the price is involved in broker's fees, transportation, delivery, and holding. This is how the $34 base cost turns into $75 which is the current end cost of oil per barrel. Now there is a "Dinar for Oil" program...China has International sanctions and part of that was their exclusion from the Iraq Dinar auctions, therefore, they sought to acquire Dinar from other sources like private Dinar owners. They wanted to be able to buy Iraqi oil...so they started offering private owners an enticing price...They made contracts with private owners through intermediaries. That is the "Contract Rate", NOT $75 per dinar. The idea of $75 per Dinar is NOT reality based... The UST put a halt to the contracting of Dinar as of October 2011. Unless you have a pre-2011 contract, YOU WILL NOT GET A CONTRACT RATE from the mythical REDEMPTION CENTERS...

Andy Schectman: "What's Coming for Silver In JANUARY Will SHATTER ALL EXPECTATIONS!" | Silver 2025

Finance Daily:  1-26-2025

Andy Schectman warns of an impending financial reckoning driven by persistent inflation, higher taxes, and dwindling global confidence in the US dollar.

The systematic debasement of the dollar, coupled with the geopolitical tensions and the weaponization of currency, is pushing nations to seek refuge in gold and silver.

The "all at once" moment, where the world collectively dumps dollars and treasuries, could be imminent, leading to a dramatic shift in global financial dynamics.

Schectman urges investors to recognize the signs and prepare by accumulating precious metals. As central banks and nations like China and India continue to stockpile gold and silver, individuals should also consider these assets as a hedge against the volatile economic landscape.

 The real value of these metals lies not just in their price but in their ability to preserve wealth and offer stability amidst economic uncertainty.

By moving into sound money, investors can protect themselves from the inevitable fallout of the ongoing financial instability and the declining value of fiat currencies.

XRP LAWSUIT: EXPERT REVEALS POSSIBLE REASON BEHIND RIPPLE’S REQUESTED DEADLINE IN SEC CASE

▪️Ripple requests April 16, 2025 deadline for SEC appeal, as legal battle with the SEC continues to shape XRP’s future.

▪️SEC’s appeal could bring setbacks for Ripple, but new leadership and strong legal defense may change the game.

The legal battle between Ripple and the SEC continues to be one of the most closely watched in the crypto world. Recently, Ripple requested a deadline of April 16, 2025, to respond to the SEC’s appeal. This could mean a prolonged period of uncertainty for XRP, but Ripple is standing firm.

The SEC recently filed its appeal, signaling that they aren’t backing down, even after Gary Gensler’s departure from the SEC. However, Ripple’s legal team remains confident. They believe the SEC’s appeal is a rehashed argument and are hopeful that a new administration might just drop the case.

Legal expert, Jeremy Hogan, has also criticized the SEC’s case, stating that they still haven’t proven that XRP buyers expected profits from Ripple’s efforts. The SEC’s case may have weak spots, but as always, this is far from over.

When former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel was asked about Ripple’s deadline on social media, the attorney replied and explained saying,

Pretty standard for lawyers to seek the maximum time allowed. Though I don’t think there’s any doubt they’re also allowing time for a new SEC leadership to resolve the case before they have to file the brief. (Which, again, is a highly unusual thing to happen but seems likely.)

Why does this matter? If the SEC wins the appeal and XRP is classified as a security, Ripple could face even more legal hurdles, which could slow down their progress and partnerships.

This would be a setback for Ripple’s expansion, especially in markets like Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. On the other hand, Ripple has already made strides in international markets, and their cross-border payment solutions remain some of the most efficient in the crypto space.

FAQs
What happens if the SEC wins the XRP lawsuit appeal?
If the SEC wins, XRP could be classified as a security, leading to more legal hurdles and potentially harming Ripple’s partnerships.

Is the lawsuit against XRP over?
No, the lawsuit is ongoing, with Ripple and the SEC engaged in appeals and responses that could take years to resolve.

What happened to XRP just now?
XRP’s value or status might have shifted due to legal updates, market reactions, or news. Stay updated for the latest developments.

BRICS: WHY EXPERTS SAY US DOLLAR’S GLOBAL RESERVE DAYS MAY BE NUMBERED

Amid the ongoing de-dollarization efforts embraced by the BRICS alliance, experts have begun to state that the US dollar’s days as a global reserve asset may be numbered. Although the currency is at a new record high, economists have noted things do not look as promising in the long term.

Analysts and experts have gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. It was there that US President Donald Trump, inaugurated Monday, noted the United States would be the “world capital” of both AI and crypto. Those efforts may come to fruition, but the nation is clearly losing ground regarding its greenback as the world’s currency.

US Dollar Dominance Coming to an End? Why Economists Aren’t Keen on Its Long-Term Outlook

The geopolitical tensions over the US dollar have reached a fever pitch in recent years. The BRICS alliance has continued to seek ways to promote local currencies in trade. 

That has only drawn the ire of US President Donald Trump. In retaliation, he has threatened the presence of 100% tariffs and even discussed the creation of an external revenue service.

Yet, those tensions are separate from how experts perceive the global reserve currency. Although it has been the world’s currency since post-World War II, nothing stays the same forever. Now, amid BRICS and other regions’ actions against it, economists warn that the US dollar’s days as a global reserve currency are numbered.

In a recent session at the World Economic Forum called ‘State of Play: US Dollar,’ a panel of experts discussed the greenback. Although they note it will remain the global reserve in the coming years, that will undoubtedly change. Specifically, due to the “exorbitant privilege” that it holds, according to Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff.

“Both parties in the United States seem to think that debt is a free lunch,” he said. Additionally, he noted that interest payments on federal debt have officially surpassed the entire US defense budget. Yet, the currency still stands at a record high, reaching levels not seen since the mid-1980s or early 2000s.

The panel notes that it is bound to fall; the question is, how hard? Economic analysts from the World Forum note that “extreme fragmentation of the financial system could decrease global GDP by roughly 5%—more than the setbacks caused by the 2008 financial crisis.” 

They ultimately believe a multipolar system will replace US dominance. Yet, the hope is that the change can come gradually and not suddenly.

FED STICKS TO RATES AS INFLATION PERSISTS AND TRUMP’S POLICIES LOOM LARGE

▪️The Fed is likely to maintain interest rates during its upcoming announcement.

▪️Persistent inflation and labor market recovery are key factors in the Fed's decision.

▪️Trump's policies add complexity to the Fed's inflation outlook and decision-making

The Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to announce its interest rate decision on Wednesday at 22:00 Turkish time, maintaining the policy rate in the 4.25-4.50% range. Market experts predict that the Fed will insist on keeping rates stable as it awaits clearer signals regarding the declining trend in inflation.

According to CME Group’s FedWatch data, the likelihood of no change in rates stands at over 99%. If this expectation holds true, it will mark the first “pause” in rate adjustments since September 2024.

Tishwash:  Saudi Cafe Chain Opens First Branch in Iraq

Saudi Arabia cafe chain Kyan Café has opened its first branch in Iraq.

The outlet in Basra will initially open from 2:00pm until midnight, but has plans to extend this to 24 hours.

It is Kyan's 356th store worldwide.  link

Tishwash:  Article 140 is close to resolving the transactions of deportees and arrivals in Kirkuk

The Article 140 Committee in Kirkuk announced on Monday that there are approximately 2,500 deportees and 2,000 expatriates whose financial dues allocated by Baghdad are being disbursed by the committee, while it confirmed that the government is paying attention to resolving these files by allocating a budget estimated at about 100 billion annually to pay these special dues.

The director of the Article 140 Committee in Kirkuk, Hardi Khader, told Shafak News Agency,   "The committee was able to complete 2,969 exchange transactions for expatriates and 1,699 exchange transactions for Kurdish deportees during the years 2023 and 2024. There are transactions ready for disbursement, about 5,728 for deportees and 3,931 transactions for expatriates, and these transactions are updated."

Khader added, "The Supreme Committee for Article 140 in Baghdad is the one that allocates the budget and allocates the amounts for the bonds by it, where an amount of 100 billion is allocated annually to cover the disbursement of compensation to the displaced Kurds and Arabs arriving in Kirkuk."

He added that "the committee is working to facilitate the work of the deported Kurdish and Arab visitors who meet the conditions, and the transaction is submitted to the general headquarters to disburse their financial dues through cheques organized for that purpose."

Article 140 stipulates the cancellation of the demographic change policies pursued by Saddam Hussein’s regime in the disputed areas in favor of the Arabs at the expense of the Kurds, and then a census of the population before the final step, which is to hold a referendum in which the population determines whether they wish to join the Kurdistan Region or remain under the administration of Baghdad.

The implementation stages of the article were scheduled to be completed by the end of 2007, but security and political problems prevented this .

In 2019, the Federal Supreme Court ruled that Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution would remain in effect, stressing that this would continue until its requirements were implemented and the purpose of its legislation was achieved  link

Clare:  Economist: Trump is changing the rules of the economic game through gold

1/26/2025

Economic expert Basem Jamil Antoine considered that the statements of former US President Donald Trump regarding gold reflect “a trend towards speculation instead of focusing on the industry.”

Antoine told {Euphrates News} that: "Trump's recent statements about resorting to gold in the economy may subject this process to speculation by major capitalists and influential people who head to areas of power and profit and convert gold into homes and real estate, away from industrial sectors and production that need a long time to build." 

He added, "The ground from which Trump came is his original work as a speculator and he does not believe in industrial work and the main goal is to achieve profits and gain from the United States from gold, oil or weapons, and this is a non-industrial process."

Antoine explained that "industrialists have a long breath and Trump's breath goes to deals that achieve imaginary profits in a short period of time."

The statements of former US President Donald Trump about gold came in the context of his talk about global economic transformations. 

Trump indicated that the US economy may witness a transformation if there is a greater trend towards using gold as an economic tool, instead of relying on paper currencies. 

He considered that this trend may encourage major capitalists and investors to transfer wealth into gold and real estate, instead of investing in productive sectors that need a long time to grow.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

SEC REVOKES CRYPTO ACCOUNTING RULE FOLLOWING PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION

While crypto advocates cheer the SEC’s decision, skeptics like Jacob King warn that the industry’s shift toward bank custody contradicts Bitcoin’s original vision of decentralization.

▪️In a dramatic policy shift, the SEC has revoked a crypto regulation that once shackled banks and custodians, marking a fresh start under the new administration.

▪️The controversial rule, introduced in 2022, had drawn fierce criticism from industry leaders who saw it as an unnecessary hurdle for financial institutions dealing with digital assets.

▪️Under Biden’s SEC, crypto firms found themselves entangled in legal battles, with enforcement actions reaching record highs before tapering off in the final months of Gensler’s tenure.

In a significant policy reversal, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has rescinded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 (SAB 121), a controversial accounting guideline that mandated companies holding digital assets for clients to record these holdings as liabilities on their balance sheets.

The revocation came shortly after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, signaling a shift in the regulatory approach toward the emerging economy.

Background and Industry Reaction

Enacted during President Joe Biden’s administration in March 2022, SAB 121 aimed to enhance transparency and risk management in the burgeoning crypto sector. However, industry stakeholders criticized the rule for imposing burdensome reporting requirements, complicating the custody of digital assets, and increasing compliance costs.

The banking sector also expressed concerns, noting that the rule hindered their ability to serve as secure custodians for digital assets.

The recent revocation has been met with approval from crypto advocates. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, known for her pro-crypto stance, celebrated the decision by posting on X (formerly Twitter):

“Bye, bye SAB 121! It’s not been fun.”

Criticism from Outside the Crypto Industry

Despite the positive reception within the crypto community, the repeal has faced criticism from some financial analysts.  Jacob King, CEO of WhaleWire, claims the crypto advocates are wrong for believing the revocation would allow banks to custody Bitcoin BTC for customers.

In response, Carl Horton countered the tweet, noting that many still want loans using their BTC as collateral:

“Some people, like children and the elderly, need custodians. Others want smooth inheritance transfers and others want loans using their BTC in custody as collateral. BTC is freedom money and you can interact with it any way you want.”

Previous SEC Actions Against the Crypto Industry

Meanwhile, under the leadership of former SEC Chair Gary Gensler during the Biden administration, the SEC adopted a stringent regulatory stance toward the cryptocurrency sector.

The agency initiated numerous enforcement actions against crypto companies, alleging violations such as fraud and unregistered securities offerings.

While these measures were intended to protect investors and maintain market integrity, critics argued that the aggressive approach stifled innovation and created an uncertain regulatory environment.

A report by Cornerstone Research highlighted that the SEC’s crypto-related enforcement actions declined by 30% in Gensler’s final year, with 33 actions initiated compared to 47 the previous year.

Despite the decrease, monetary penalties reached a record high, underscoring the agency’s continued focus on regulating the crypto industry.

The recent policy changes, including the revocation of SAB 121 and the establishment of a crypto task force under the new administration, suggest a potential shift toward a more balanced regulatory framework that fosters innovation while ensuring investor protection.

EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK PUSHING FOR DIGITAL EURO TO COUNTER TRUMP’S SUPPORT FOR STABLECOINS: REPORT

The European Union’s central bank is reportedly pushing for a digital euro to counter US President Donald Trump’s embrace of dollar-pegged private sector stablecoins.

European Central Bank (ECB) board member Piero Cipollone said at a conference on Friday that Trump’s new executive order on crypto could drive people away from banks, Reuters reports.

“I guess the key word here (in Trump’s executive order) is worldwide. This solution, you all know, further disintermediates banks as they lose fees, they lose clients… That’s why we need a digital euro.”

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to evaluate the creation of a strategic national Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto stockpile.

The order also calls for the government to “promote the development and growth of lawful and legitimate” dollar-pegged stablecoins created in the private sector.

It further mandates that federal agencies halt any actions related to the development of a government-backed digital version of the dollar, otherwise known as a central bank digital currency (CBDC).

The administration’s new leadership at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also rescinded Staff Accounting Bulletin 121, a controversial rule that forced banks to identify crypto assets held on behalf of their customers as liabilities on their balance sheets.

No More Taxes, Prepare to Eliminate Income Taxes

No More Taxes, Prepare to Eliminate Income Taxes

Snyder Reports:  1-25-2025

The prospect of a world without income tax has long been a political fantasy, whispered in the corners of libertarian forums and economic think tanks.

Now, that fantasy has been thrust into the mainstream as President Donald Trump reportedly explores a radical proposal: eliminating federal income tax and replacing it with revenue generated solely from import tariffs.

The idea, which has been circulating among some of Trump’s advisors, hinges on the notion that a sufficiently high tariff on foreign goods could generate enough revenue to fund the government, effectively making income tax obsolete.

 This would represent a monumental shift in the American tax system, moving away from direct taxation of citizens’ earnings towards a consumer-based model that taxes the influx of foreign products.

The appeal of such a proposal is evident. For many Americans, the income tax is a complex and often resented burden. Eliminating it would undoubtedly be a popular move, instantly putting more money in the hands of individuals and businesses.

 Furthermore, proponents argue that a tariff-based system could encourage domestic manufacturing, making American products more competitive and reducing reliance on overseas production.

It’s important to emphasize that this proposal is still in the discussion phase.

While the idea has gained attention, there are few concrete details and many unanswered questions. Economic experts across the spectrum have expressed significant skepticism about the practicality and potential consequences of such a significant shift in the tax system.

Some see this as a trial balloon, a way to gauge public reaction to a controversial idea. Others see it as a political maneuver, intended to stoke populist sentiment and drive support for a particular political platform.

The idea of eliminating income tax using tariffs is undoubtedly a radical one that has captured the attention of the political and economic conversation. While the prospect of a tax-free income is enticing, the potential economic fallout and logistical challenges are deeply concerning.

This proposal highlights the need for a broader conversation about our tax system and its impact on the economy, fairness, and global relations.

Whether it’s a viable policy option or not, it forces us to consider different approaches to funding the government and the potential consequences of drastic change. As with all bold ideas, careful evaluation, thoughtful debate, and realistic consideration of all potential repercussions are essential.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

CRYPTO ADVOCATES FOCUS ON CONGRESS AS GOP TAKES CONTROL OF US GOV'T

The Republican Party now has total control over the United States Senate, the Executive Branch, and the House of Representatives.

Following the re-election of President Donald Trump in the United States, crypto advocacy groups have shifted their focus to key players in both chambers of Congress, which advocacy groups have characterized as the most pro-crypto Congress in history.

Ron Hammond, the senior director of government relations at the Blockchain Association, told Cointelegraph editor Jesse Coghlan that the Senate Banking Committee and the House Financial Services Committee will play pivotal roles in shaping pro-crypto policies.

Congressman French Hill was selected as chairman of the House Financial Services Committee in December 2024 and is highly critical of the regulatory approach under the previous administration.

Following the appointment, Hill said introducing a crypto market structure bill within the first 100 days of the legislative session was a priority for the GOP leadership.

On January 24, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform launched an investigation into Operation Chokepoint 2.0 and sent letters to crypto industry leaders and advocacy groups requesting input.

The Senate Banking Committee

Senator Tim Scott, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, is pro-crypto and promised sweeping regulatory reform for digital assets prior to the 2024 United States elections.

Speaking to an audience at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, Scott said the former leadership at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was preventing pro-crypto policies and promised change to US voters.

“We have to get rid of the folks who are in the way,” Scott told pro-Bitcoin voters in the Summer of 2024. Scott also promised Bitcoin voters:

“The one thing I will absolutely guarantee will be done is watching your legislation get a vote, pass the Banking Committee, and we’re going to fight to make it a law in the United States of America.”

Following Scott's pronouncement, Republicans won an electoral sweep in November 2024, securing both chambers of Congress, the Presidential election, and the popular vote.

Senator Lummis appointed chair of the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis was appointed by Scott to chair the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets in January 2025.

Lummis said the primary goals of the subcommittee included passing comprehensive digital asset legislation and preventing overreach by government regulatory agencies.

The Senator added that legislative initiatives would include a comprehensive market structure bill, stablecoin regulations, and provisions for a Bitcoin strategic reserve.

Challenges and looking ahead

Stand With Crypto, a crypto advocacy and voter education group, told Cointelegraph that the current Congress has a "mandate" to pass comprehensive crypto regulatory reform. The group said:

"The 52 million crypto users and innovators across America elected a historic pro-crypto Congress in 2024 — sending 278 pro-crypto candidates to the House of Representatives and 20 to the Senate."

Despite this, challenges remain, as crypto regulations may take a backseat to more pressing political issues or pushback from anti-crypto politicians.

Industry executives and the crypto community have accused Democrats of being anti-crypto and stifling the regulatory process.

Some of crypto's most vocal political opponents include Democrat Senators Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin, and California Rep. Brad Sherman — all of whom are still in office after being re-elected in 2024.

Joe Doll, the general counsel for NFT marketplace Magic Eden, also told Cointelegraph that Republicans likely have only two years to pass crypto legislation before midterm elections take place.

Historically speaking, midterm elections tend to see the political pendulum swing the other way and change the balance of power in Congress, Doll said.

The attorney said that Republicans already have a slim majority in the US House of Representatives, which has narrowed to only three seats since Doll spoke to Cointelegraph in December 2024.

According to Doll, a gridlocked government would impede the passage of pro-crypto legislation in the United States.

JUST IN! Military Raids Uncover Trillions in Hidden Silver Vaults – QFS Takes Back What’s Rightfully Yours!

The Quantum Financial System (QFS) has(allegedly)   struck a crippling blow to the Cabal, exposing and reclaiming trillions in stolen silver reserves. These massive stockpiles, hidden for decades in underground bunkers, mark a pivotal shift in the battle for humanity’s financial liberation.

Trillions Unearthed in Military Operations: Codenamed Silver Horizon, military forces have uncovered silver reserves hoarded by the elites to manipulate global markets:

Nevada Base: 3,000 metric tons of silver bars stored in a Cold War bunker.

Central America: 4,000 metric tons from Guatemala and Mexico, stolen under exploitative policies.

Manhattan Vault: 7,500 metric tons hidden beneath a major banking institution.

With over $2 trillion in silver recovered this month alone, military insiders confirm this is just the beginning.

Silver Powers the QFS Reset: This reclaimed silver is being rapidly (allegedly)  integrated into the QFS, setting the stage for a financial reset. Experts predict silver’s suppressed value will soar to $1,500/oz as its role in quantum technology and global trade is unveiled. Military engineers have confirmed silver’s use in Starlink satellites and quantum processors, solidifying its place in a liberated economy.

The Introduction of Silver Certificates: Starting January 2025, Redemption Centers are (allegedly)  launching silver-backed certificates, allowing citizens to exchange fiat for physical ownership of these reserves. Each certificate(allegedly)   includes a quantum code tied to the QFS, ensuring transparency and security. Debt relief programs funded by recovered silver are already underway.
