Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

XRP NEWS: RIPPLE DEVS UNVEILS ROADMAP FOR INSTITUTIONAL DEFI ON XRP LEDGER

XRP Ledger is undergoing restructuring that might attract more institutional participants

The XRP Ledger is transforming with new innovations designed to boost institutional adoption.

▪Developers are particularly building to permit DeFi participation by institutions.

▪Onchain innovations to enhance include DiD, programmability and compliance.

Ripple Devs, an offshoot of Ripple Labs Inc has introduced a new roadmap designed for institutional Decentralized Finance (DeFi) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). He also boasted of how this iteration is one of the greatest that the protocol has introduced in the past.

XRP Ledger And its Innovations Down the Line

With this new roadmap, the blockchain payment company intends to expand its possibilities for use in various financial applications. David “JoelKatz” Schwartz noted that this Ripple roadmap presents a detailed outline of its direction for this year, including its use cases and features that it plans to focus on.

In the past, XRPL has implemented innovations that have encouraged financial institutions to participate in the market.

These innovations could improve price transparency, liquidity efficiency, and the integration of compliance tools. One such innovation is the Central Limit Order Book (CLOB). This feature allows efficient price discovery and ensures deep liquidity for the assets traded on the network.

Another innovative addition is the Automated Market Maker (AMM), which enhances liquidity automation. Precisely, this XRPL AMM delivers the optimization of the exchange processes that exist between tokenized assets and stablecoins.

This solution is largely recognized for its distinct direct integration with the native Decentralized Exchange (DEX).

Last month, XRPL took it a step further by introducing a new AMM feature for holders of the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin.

XRPL Integration With Ondo Finance

In addition to these innovations, the XRP ecosystem underwent several amendments and upgrades.

The XRP Ledger also secured strategic partnerships that hold potential for expansion. As part of its collaboration, the XRP ecosystem tries to ensure that it contributes to meeting the growing demand for tokenized solutions, especially for Real-world Assets (RWAs).

Ondo Finance partnered with XRPL to debut tokenized US Treasuries for institutional investors.

The offering, dubbed Ondo Short-Term US Government Treasuries (OUSG), is backed by the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL). Based on its structure, investors can buy OUSG or redeem it anytime using Ripple USD.

What Next For XRP Ledger?

Going forward, XRPL plans to focus on features that improve regulatory compliance while expanding institutional lending options.

It is also keen on offering greater programmability to develop onchain financial products. 

Amongst the incoming innovations are digital credentials based on DID and Multi-Purpose Token (MPT), a new tokenization standard.

While the latter offers access to the creation of regulated financial markets directly on the blockchain, MPT allows for the representation of complex financial instruments. Noteworthy, these updates are still directed towards TradFi integration with DeFi.

Financial institutions can issue tokenized loans securely with XLS-65d, another key addition for institutional DeFi. This will help reduce the dependence on traditional intermediaries and promote more transparency in the credit markets.


The XLS-66d specifications offer benefits, such as on-ledger loans, off-chain underwriting, and first-loss capital protection
. These will help ensure that financial risks are managed more efficiently.

IOTA SECURES KEY EU PARTNERSHIPS—DRIVING REAL UTILITY & MASS ADOPTION

IOTA is pushing new frontlines in the EU with new partnerships.

▪To bolster its push toward mass adoption, the IOTA rebased innovation is set to soar soon
.

IOTA, a leading open-source distributed ledger technology, continues to form key strategic partnerships with the European Union (EU). IOTA’s collaboration in the EU is part of its broader mission to drive real utility and secure mass global adoption.

IOTA’s New Partnership in the EU

Popular Angel investor with the username @Walknonthemoon on social media platform X highlighted IOTA’s EU collaborations. According to Walknonthemoon, IOTA, through the strategic partnership will support EU and UK-backed trade lanes with its technology.

IOTA will focus on digitizing transport-related activities between the countries in the EU and the United Kingdom. The protocol’s technology will help streamline freight management and notify users of important updates about their shipments.

IOTA will also enable real-time data sharing among trading partners and reduce administrative costs. This collaboration aligns with IOTA’s vision of bringing real-world applications on-chain.

In a recent study, CNF reported that IOTA launched a digital infrastructure, the Trade and Logistics Information Pipeline (TLIP), to revolutionize trade.

The platform allows trading partners to share real-time data, reducing administrative costs. TLIP helped power the post-Brexit UK-EU trade, enhancing processes and saving thousands of hours otherwise wasted on slow and inefficient processes.

IOTA’s partnership with the EU will also focus on powering sustainable energy rewards in the Netherlands. This partnership further strengthens the network as a key player in providing sustainability-related solutions. Every project IOTA undertakes has an outlook toward sustainability which is now embedded into its core technological development.

Last yearIOTA unveiled its Electronics Digital Product Passport (DPP) prototype to enhance transparency and traceability throughout the lifecycle of electronic devices. As CNF discussed earlier, this product highlights IOTA’s push towards integrating blockchain in environmental sustainability efforts.

In addition, IOTA is leading on-chain Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification for the EU. Through its robust solutions, IOTA aims to offer substantial cost savings for European banks. As featured in our recent coverage, the IOTA Foundation recently collaborated with walt.id, IDnow, Bloom Wallet, and Spyce5 to pioneer a groundbreaking KYC solution for Web3 applications.

The solution paves the way for a more sustainable and effective banking ecosystem in Europe.

IOTA Rebased on the Horizon

The mainnet launch of the IOTA Rebased Protocol is set to happen soon, designed to also bolster the mass adoption of the chain. The IOTA Rebased Protocol marks the most important upgrade from IOTA as it sets the network for extensive scalability, programmability, and decentralization transformation.

Through the updated protocol, IOTA plans to achieve a processing speed of more than 50,000 transactions per second and finalization times of less than 500 milliseconds.

Ahead of its main net launch, the IOTA Rebased test network recently announced onboarding a new set of trusted validators. They are expected to bring trusted, enterprise-grade validation to IOTA.

Also, IOTA has announced additional transaction fees to Rebased. As explained in our last article, this initiative is expected to simplify tokenomics.

Al-Alaq said in a speech during the ninth annual exhibition and conference for finance and banking services in Iraq, "There is a complete roadmap for digitizing banking services through electronic payment as a main tool for digital transformation, as the number of devices has reached 63 thousand devices in the governorates of Iraq," according to what was reported by the official news agency.

He added, "The number of electronic teller machines has reached more than 4,000 machines and the number of bank cards is about 17 million cards," indicating that "the Central Bank supported the licensing and operation of electronic wallets via mobile phone that allow charging, transferring and paying bills, which raised the rate of financial inclusion to more than 40  % compared to 20% three years ago

He pointed out that "the number of permanent wallets reached 1.2 million wallets, and we achieved international integration by linking the Iraqi electronic payment system to global payment networks, which allows the transformation of accepting foreign cards locally and expanding the acceptance of Iraqi cards internationally," adding that "the achievements made in the field of information technology and electronic payments in the Central Bank represent a fundamental shift in the financial system."  link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani discusses with US Secretary of State areas of coordination between Iraq and the new Washington administration

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani received a call from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio today, Tuesday (February 25, 2025). The call discussed bilateral relations between Iraq and the United States, with a focus on ways to enhance and develop them in various fields.

According to a statement by the Prime Minister's media office, received by "Baghdad Today", during the conversation, areas of coordination between Iraq and the new US administration were discussed, in addition to frameworks for cooperation within existing bilateral agreements. 

According to the statement, the progress made in joint work between the two countries was reviewed, with an agreement to intensify communication and enhance cooperation to achieve common interests. link

Tishwash:  The dollar declines in Iraq.. Stability or temporary calm?

Today, Tuesday, the local Iraqi markets witnessed a noticeable decline in the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar, as the selling price fell to 149,750 dinars for every 100 dollars, while the buying price reached 147,750 dinars.

This decline comes after months of volatility, as the dollar exceeded the 150,000 dinar barrier for a long time, raising widespread concerns about its impact on prices and inflation in the country.

What are the reasons for the decline?

There are several factors that may be behind this decline, most notably:

The measures of the Central Bank of Iraq aimed at controlling the exchange rate, by tightening control over dollar transfers and reducing reliance on the black market.

Recent government moves to combat financial speculation and take steps to control the flow of dollars in official markets.

Improvement in the flow of dollars through official channels, following agreements between Iraq and international financial institutions.

Will this decline continue?

Despite the current decline, the most important question remains: Will we witness real stability in exchange rates? Or is this decline merely a temporary decline due to immediate measures? Previous experiences indicate that the exchange rate is affected by many factors, including the political situation, cash flows, and US measures against banks accused of currency smuggling.

Implications for markets and prices

Any decline in the dollar price is expected to contribute to a decline in the prices of imported goods, especially food, medicine and electronics, but the question remains: Will this decline be reflected quickly in the markets? Or will traders continue to price according to previous prices to achieve greater profits?

Conclusion

The dollar breaking the 150,000 dinar barrier for the first time in months is a positive development, but it does not necessarily mean that the crisis is over. The matter remains subject to the ability of the government and the Central Bank to maintain this stability and prevent speculation that may return the dollar to its upward path again. Is this decline the beginning of an economic breakthrough, or just a temporary break before a new wave of increases?  link

A $42 Iraqi Dinar Revaluation: The Biggest Currency Shift in History Driven by Gold and Oil

A $42 Iraqi Dinar Revaluation: The Biggest Currency Shift in History Driven by Gold and Oil

Awake-In-3D  February 25, 2025

Iraq’s currency stands at the edge of a historic transformation. Could gold and oil propel the Iraqi dinar to $42?

Iraq is positioned to transform its economy and propel an Iraqi Dinar Revaluation into one of the most significant financial events of the century. Let’s explore how this historic shift could unfold.

Consider a scenario where Iraq successfully revalues its currency, with the new Iraqi dinar (IQD) surging to an exchange rate of 1 IQD = $42 USD. For years, currency watchers have speculated about Iraq’s potential to restore the strength of its dinar.

A $42 Iraqi Dinar Revaluation: The Biggest Currency Shift in History Driven by Gold and Oil

Awake-In-3D  February 25, 2025

Iraq’s currency stands at the edge of a historic transformation. Could gold and oil propel the Iraqi dinar to $42?

Iraq is positioned to transform its economy and propel an Iraqi Dinar Revaluation into one of the most significant financial events of the century. Let’s explore how this historic shift could unfold.

Consider a scenario where Iraq successfully revalues its currency, with the new Iraqi dinar (IQD) surging to an exchange rate of 1 IQD = $42 USD. For years, currency watchers have speculated about Iraq’s potential to restore the strength of its dinar.

Now, through a strategic combination of gold-backed stability, rising oil prices, and a planned redenomination, this scenario is on the verge of becoming reality.

The Foundation of an Iraqi Dinar Revaluation: Iraq’s Powerful Resources

Iraq holds a significant position among oil-producing nations, sitting atop 145 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, making it the fifth-largest oil holder in the world. Oil prices are set to rise to $100 per barrel by early 2026, and Iraq is increasing production to 5 million barrels per day (bpd), strengthening its ability to leverage its vast energy wealth.

Meanwhile, Iraq has been steadily building its gold reserves, reaching 162.7 metric tons as of February 2025. With gold prices on track to reach $3,000 per ounce by the end of 2025, Iraq’s gold holdings would be valued at approximately $15.7 billion USD.

These two critical assets—oil and gold—drive a currency transformation that is reshaping Iraq’s economic future.

Strategic Shift: Iraq’s Plan to Back the Dinar with Tangible Assets

To stabilize and strengthen its currency, Iraq is considering a dual-asset backing strategy, leveraging both gold reserves and oil wealth to support the Iraqi Dinar Revaluation. Here’s how this system would work:

  • Gold-Backed Reserves: Iraq’s 162.7 metric tons of gold would provide $15.7 billion USD in monetary support for the dinar.

  • Oil-Backed Financial System: Iraq pledges 5% of its 145 billion barrels in oil reserves to currency backing, equating to $725 billion USD in value.

By combining these two forces, Iraq secures $740.7 billion USD in backing assets, dramatically strengthening confidence in the dinar.

Policy Initiative: Redenomination of the Iraqi Dinar

One of the most effective strategies for Iraqi Dinar Revaluation would be a redenomination, removing three zeros from the old dinar. This approach would include:

  • 1,000 old IQD converted into 1 new IQD.

  • Money supply (M2) shifting from the current 173,686 trillion old IQD to 173.686 billion new IQD—without altering the overall economy’s value.

  • Simplified transactions and elimination of psychological barriers associated with high-denomination currency.

The Exchange Rate Transformation

As a result of this redenomination, Iraq could back 10% of its new currency supply—17.3686 billion new IQD—with its $740.7 billion USD in reserves.

The Calculations: A Historic Shift

740.7 billion USD

17.7 billion new IQD = 43.13 USD per new IQD

This means:

  • 1 new IQD = 42.64 USD

  • 1 USD = 0.023 new IQD

This shift catapults the Iraqi Dinar Revaluation into one of the most significant currency transformations in history, potentially surpassing the Kuwaiti dinar and Swiss franc in value.

Key Steps for Iraq’s Implementation Plan

For this massive revaluation to succeed, Iraq must take several key steps:

1. Strengthen Foreign Currency Reserves

Iraq must continue accumulating foreign reserves, particularly US dollars, euros, and Chinese yuan, to ensure global liquidity and protect against exchange rate fluctuations.

2. Expand Oil Production Beyond 5 Million Bpd

Increasing oil exports further—toward 6 million bpd or higher—would generate even greater revenue streams, allowing Iraq to sustain its financial commitments and economic growth.

3. Introduce Oil-Backed Bonds and a Digital Dinar

Issuing oil-backed bonds could attract foreign investors, while a central bank digital currency (CBDC) could streamline financial transactions and reduce reliance on physical cash.

4. Reduce Dependency on the US Dollar

By strengthening trade agreements with China, Russia, and other BRICS nations, Iraq could gradually shift away from dollar dependency and build a more independent financial system.

What This Means for Iraq and the Global Economy

The Iraqi Dinar Revaluation is not just an internal financial shift—it has the potential to cause global ripple effects:

  • Iraqi citizens would experience a dramatic rise in purchasing power, enhancing domestic wealth and economic stability.

  • Foreign investors would be drawn to Iraq, recognizing its potential as a rising economic powerhouse.

  • The global monetary system could shift, with Iraq emerging as a major player in oil-backed financial markets.

  • Speculators and currency traders who have followed the dinar for years could finally witness the long-anticipated revaluation, triggering major shifts in currency markets.

The Bottom Line: Could an Iraqi Dinar Revaluation Really Happen?

This transformation demands precise economic planning, bold financial policies, and political stability to succeed. However, with rising gold and oil prices, strategic asset-backed monetary policies, and a redenomination to streamline the dinar, Iraq is well-positioned for one of the greatest currency shifts in modern history.

The question is not whether the Iraqi Dinar Revaluation will happen—but when.

SEC BACKS OFF: UNISWAP ANNOUNCES END OF INVESTIGATION

The platform called the move a “huge win for DeFi” after reports have suggested the SEC may be radically changing its approach to crypto enforcement in 2025.

Uniswap Labs, the developer behind the Uniswap decentralized exchange, reported that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped its probe into the firm.

SEC BACKS OFF: UNISWAP ANNOUNCES END OF INVESTIGATION

The platform called the move a “huge win for DeFi” after reports have suggested the SEC may be radically changing its approach to crypto enforcement in 2025.

Uniswap Labs, the developer behind the Uniswap decentralized exchange, reported that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped its probe into the firm.

According to a Feb. 25 X post, the SEC concluded its investigation into Uniswap and has no plans to pursue enforcement action against the firm. The report followed Uniswap’s announcement that it received a Wells notice from the SEC in April 2024 while the commission was under the leadership of then-Chair Gary Gensler.

This is a huge win for DeFi and reaffirms what we’ve always known – that the technology we build is on the right side of the law, and our work is on the right side of history,” said Uniswap.

At the time of publication, the SEC had not made any official announcement regarding Uniswap. However, Coinbase made a similar claim on Feb. 21 that the commission would be closing its case against the crypto exchange roughly two years after being launched. The regulator’s Enforcement Division will also be closing investigations into Robinhood Crypto and OpenSea.

Changing course on crypto in 2025?

According to multiple filings with the SEC, the commission’s crypto task crypto met with representatives of several firms in February as part of efforts to explore potential changes to digital asset regulation.

Commissioner Hester Peirce, who leads the task force, suggested that the SEC wait until it has a Senate-confirmed chair to set a different regulatory path.

Howeverwith the Uniswap action and others, the commission seems to be quickly changing its approach to crypto enforcementSome experts have suggested that all other SEC cases, including a pending appeal from Ripple Labs following a court judgment, could be paused or withdrawn entirely.

Before US President Donald Trump took office, Reuters reported that the SEC would consider freezing all crypto enforcement cases that did not involve fraud as part of the administration’s change in policy on digital assets

Project 2025, an ultra-conservative policy framework that Trump’s team has largely followed since Jan. 20, suggested that the administration “remove regulatory impediments” at the SEC.

NASDAQ FILES 19B-4 FOR CANARY CAPITAL’S HEDERA HBAR SPOT ETF

Big news for HBAR and Litecoin. Nasdaq has officially filed a 19b-4 form with the SEC, seeking approval to list and trade shares of the Canary HBAR ETF.    

According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, this puts HBAR and Litecoin in the best position among current altcoin ETF filings, increasing their chances of gaining regulatory approval ahead of others. This ETF is designed to track the real-time price of HBAR, the 21st-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

This filing marks a significant expansion of Canary Capital’s crypto investment products, following the launch of its HBAR Trust in October 2024 and an initial ETF registration (S-1) in November.

What This Means for HBAR?

If approved, the ETF would allow investors to gain exposure to Hedera’s HBAR token without directly purchasing or holding it. This kind of institutional investment vehicle has historically been seen as a positive development for crypto adoption, making it easier for traditional investors to enter the space.

HBAR’s price has reacted positively to the news, surging 5% following Nasdaq’s filing. This follows a previous 20% jump after the S-1 filing in November, showing strong investor enthusiasm for an HBAR-based ETF.

Canary Capital’s Growing Influence in Crypto ETFs

Canary Capital is also pursuing other cryptocurrency ETFs
. Alongside the HBAR ETF, the firm has filed for a spot Litecoin ETF, which is now awaiting SEC approval. According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, Litecoin’s regulatory outlook appears favorable, as it has not been caught in legal disputes with the SEC and has been classified as a commodity by the CFTC.

The spot Litecoin ETF has already been listed on the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) under the ticker “LTCC,” an essential step toward its launch.

More Crypto ETFs in the Pipeline

Canary Capital isn’t stopping at HBAR and Litecoin. The firm has also filed for a spot XRP ETF, which the SEC has already acknowledged. Plus, there are reports that Canary is exploring similar investment products for Solana (SOL), indicating a broader push for crypto ETFs.

The introduction of more spot crypto ETFs signals a growing interest in making digital assets more accessible to institutional investors. 

While the SEC’s decision on the HBAR ETF is still pending, this filing represents a major step toward mainstream crypto adoption. If approved, it could pave the way for more blockchain-based investment products in the future.

RUSSIA REJECTS BRICS, PROPOSES HISTORIC DEAL WITH THE US

Russia is slowly bowing out of the BRICS agenda of cutting ties with the US and the dollar for trade and transactions.

In a historic deal, Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed to supply 2 million tons of aluminum to the US markets. The move could stabilize prices in the commodity metals sector and smoothen out price fluctuations and market volatility.

In addition, BRICS member Russia also outlined potential deals with the US in supplying rare earth resources. Russia has the world’s fifth-largest rare earth metals reserves that the US could use for industry and military production and benefit immensely.

In a historic deal, Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed to supply 2 million tons of aluminum to the US markets. The move could stabilize prices in the commodity metals sector and smoothen out price fluctuations and market volatility.

In addition, BRICS member Russia also outlined potential deals with the US in supplying rare earth resources. Russia has the world’s fifth-largest rare earth metals reserves that the US could use for industry and military production and benefit immensely.

The prospective economic deal covers aluminum and rare earth materials from BRICS member Russia to the US. President Donald Trump had earlier hinted that “major economic development transactions with Russia” could soon take place.

The rare earth materials are mostly used for magnet production that turns power into motion for electric vehicles (EV). It also covers the production of cell phones and other military equipment. If the deal goes through with the US, this will be a complete U-turn of policies from BRICS member Russia.

“We would be ready to offer (joint projects with) our American partners. And when I say ‘partners,’ I mean not only administrative and governmental structures but also companies, if they showed interest in joint work,” said Putin and added“We undoubtedly have, I want to emphasize, significantly more resources of this kind than Ukraine.”

BRICS Countries Take U-Turn With the US


After Trump took over the White House in January, BRICS countries are backtracking from teaching the US a lessonIndia recently rejected the idea of launching a BRICS currency and embraced the US dollar for trade. 

Brazil is also considering nixing the idea of a common currency in the upcoming summit in July.

Also, China is urging the US to not weaponize trade with tariffs. BRICS member Russia, which was a staunch supporter of de-dollarization, is now seeking business deals with the US.

GRAYSCALE’S CARDANO ETF UNDER SEC REVIEW – DECISION EXPECTED BY AUG. 2025

▪The SEC has officially started reviewing Grayscale’s Cardano ETF proposal for potential approval.

▪A final decision on the Cardano ETF is expected by August 2025 after the review process.

▪Polymarket shows a 62% chance of approval, rising from 51% in January 2025.


The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially started reviewing Grayscale’s proposal for a Cardano (ADA) exchange-traded fund (ETF). If approved, this would be a major milestone for Cardano, making it easier for investors to gain exposure to ADA through traditional markets.

This move follows NYSE Arca’s request to list and trade shares of the Grayscale Cardano Trust on the stock exchange. With the SEC now reviewing the application, the countdown to a decision has begun – one that could shape ADA’s future in a big way. A final ruling is expected within 180 days.

So, will Cardano join the ranks of crypto assets with an approved ETF? And what could this mean for ADA’s price and market adoption? Here’s what you need to know.

Cardano ETF Review Begins

On February 24, 2025, the SEC formally accepted NYSE Arca’s application, marking the start of the review process. The request was originally submitted on February 10, 2025. If approved, this ETF would allow investors to gain exposure to Cardano (ADA) through a regulated platform without needing to hold the cryptocurrency directly.

A Cardano ETF would make it easier for investors to buy and sell shares tied to ADA’s price. This could attract more traditional investors and increase ADA’s accessibility in a secure and regulated environment.

Approval Odds Are Rising

The chances of a Cardano ETF approval in 2025 are improving. Polymarket, a decentralized prediction platform, now estimates a 62% likelihood of approval, up from 51% in January. The SEC’s recent acknowledgment of multiple crypto ETF filings, including Grayscale’s XRP ETF, has contributed to this growing optimism.

How It Could Impact ADA’s Price

A Cardano ETF could boost demand by attracting institutional investors, potentially driving up ADA’s price. Analysts believe that as long as ADA holds support between $0.67 and $0.81, further gains are possible. However, if it falls below this range, downward pressure could follow.

At the moment, Cardano is trading at $0.68, with a market capitalization of $24.16 billion. Its trading volume has surged by 81.15%, reaching $1.08 billion, reflecting growing market interest.

D. Tiers 1-4b are notified. (they need D1 to be liquid) It appears all is set to go on or about the same time!

Tier 1 Sovereign Nation Debt of Governments: Chinese Royals, Bond Holders, Paymasters, Church Groups, CMKX, F&P, Adjudicated Settlements, Ranch and Farm Claims and other groups.

Tier 2 Royals, Elders, Whales, Military Generals and some political type Elites with platforms of currency, corporations, etc.

Tier 3 Admirals Group, American Indians, CMKX, large church groups like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Pentecostal group was now 100% under an NDA.

Tier 3 was all Dubai 2 Trust Money and originally was the Generals and public. Now Tier 3 includes groups with projects including the Admiral.

The Admiral was sent to the back of the line and renamed Tier 4A (really just a pie slice of tier 3). The Admiral’s Group was composed of three parts – most notable of which was Tier4a Core groups and 130 VIP groups.

Tier 4B, (us, the Internet Group) is the largest group and composed of the general public who paid attention to the intel – the people who have bought currency and/or bonds and kept up with the reset by way of information on the Internet.

Tier 5 The general public who never paid attention to the Intel.

The official GO for Tier 4b has not been released yet. It can happen any moment. As all Tier1-4b are funded, we await the final release to reach to our level.

It’s a process. It’s tedious and time consuming – making adjustments as needed along the way for accuracy and safety of all involved. It’s a very quiet & discrete operation, where the general public is left uninformed for obvious reasons.

Pay attention to the levels that are ahead of us. That will help give a better understanding of where we are, in relation to it reaching the 4b level. BUT, it is unfolding. And when it reaches our levels, there will be no doubts. It’s coming! Keep the faith.

“Off the Radar”: A Mystery Entity Wants Their Gold NOW!

Daniela Cambone:  2-24-2025

"Someone, somewhere is asking for delivery… and those bars are being delivered. What they're doing with them, we don't know,” says Clive Thompson, retired Managing Director of Wealth Management at Union Bancaire Privée (UBP).

He sits down with Daniela Cambone to discuss the unprecedented surge in gold futures premiums, record-breaking delivery requests, and the growing uncertainty in the gold market. “We’ve never seen COMEX investors demanding delivery of 70,000 bars.

It’s completely off the scale and completely abnormal,” Thompson warns.

 He breaks down why gold isn’t necessarily “running out” but how skyrocketing demand could lead to price spikes, shortages, and delays in acquiring physical gold.

Dr. Judy Shelton:  Where is all the Fed’s Money Going?

Liberty and Finance:  2-24-2025

In a recent discussion with Liberty and Finance, Dr. Judy Shelton, former economic advisor to President Donald Trump and author of “Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money,” delivered a powerful argument for a return to honest money, framing it not just as an economic necessity but as a moral and constitutional imperative.

Shelton, a long-time advocate for sound monetary policy, argues that the Federal Reserve’s current approach, particularly its focus on “stable inflation,” fundamentally betrays the principles of true monetary integrity.

Liberty and Finance:  2-24-2025

In a recent discussion with Liberty and Finance, Dr. Judy Shelton, former economic advisor to President Donald Trump and author of “Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money,” delivered a powerful argument for a return to honest money, framing it not just as an economic necessity but as a moral and constitutional imperative.

Shelton, a long-time advocate for sound monetary policy, argues that the Federal Reserve’s current approach, particularly its focus on “stable inflation,” fundamentally betrays the principles of true monetary integrity.

Shelton’s core argument hinges on the idea that the Federal Reserve’s inflation targeting directly erodes purchasing power. While the Fed aims for a moderate level of inflation, Shelton argues that this constant devaluation of the currency disproportionately harms those with lower incomes and fixed savings, exacerbating wealth inequality.

In essence, she posits that the pursuit of “stable inflation” is a government-sanctioned theft of wealth from ordinary citizens.

Drawing on historical examples, Shelton champions a return to a gold standard as a potential remedy for the current monetary malaise.

She argues that a currency linked to gold, unlike the fiat currency controlled by the Federal Reserve, provides a natural check on government spending and prevents the excessive printing of money that leads to inflation.

 A gold standard, according to Shelton, fosters greater price stability and encourages long-term economic planning.

Moreover, Shelton raises concerns about the accuracy of official government inflation statistics, suggesting they often paint a misleading picture of the true economic situation faced by everyday Americans. She believes that these flawed metrics lead to misguided investment decisions, ineffective government policies, and a general lack of transparency about the real state of the economy.

Shelton’s message is a call to action for radical reforms and increased public awareness. She believes that restoring monetary integrity requires a fundamental shift in how we perceive money and the role of the Federal Reserve.

Holding the Fed accountable and demanding sound monetary policy, she argues, is essential for safeguarding the economic future of individuals and the nation as a whole.

Ultimately, Dr. Judy Shelton’s perspective offers a compelling challenge to the status quo, urging a critical re-evaluation of our monetary system and advocating for a return to principles of honesty, transparency, and stability in our currency.

Her call for a return to sound money is not just about economics; it’s about upholding fundamental principles of fairness and accountability that underpin a just and prosperous society.

BIG NEWS: SEC PLANS TO CUT 10 REGIONAL OFFICE LEADERS AS PART OF DOGE-DRIVEN COST-CUTTING PLAN

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to remove the top leaders at its 10 regional offices as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative. As reported by Reuters, according to sources familiar with the matter, the SEC informed directors across these offices on Friday that their positions will be eliminated as part of a plan set to be submitted next month.

This move is part of a larger push for cost reductions under the Trump administration, which has been focused on purging federal agencies and cutting expenses. The SEC, which oversees the U.S. capital markets, is responding to pressure from President Donald Trump to reduce staff and expenses

BIG NEWS: SEC PLANS TO CUT 10 REGIONAL OFFICE LEADERS AS PART OF DOGE-DRIVEN COST-CUTTING PLAN

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to remove the top leaders at its 10 regional offices as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative. As reported by Reuters, according to sources familiar with the matter, the SEC informed directors across these offices on Friday that their positions will be eliminated as part of a plan set to be submitted next month.

This move is part of a larger push for cost reductions under the Trump administration, which has been focused on purging federal agencies and cutting expenses. The SEC, which oversees the U.S. capital markets, is responding to pressure from President Donald Trump to reduce staff and expenses
.

SEC leaders have been asked to suggest major budget cuts. As part of cost-cutting, a new department DOGE, led by Elon Musk is involved, and Musk has demanded federal employees list their recent accomplishments or risk being fired.

The decision to eliminate the regional directors, which requires approval from the three-person SEC commission, comes as the agency has already started scaling back its crypto enforcement efforts.

The SEC has offices from San Francisco to Miami, where officials lead investigations into public companies, brokers, and investment advisers. These directors play a crucial role in enforcement and examination decisions, making their removal a significant change within the agency.

 The reorganization plan will be submitted by SEC leaders, including Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda, and is expected to focus on restructuring operations to improve efficiency.

Reacting to the same, former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel said“It’s almost like the head of DOGE, previously charged with securities fraud and currently the defendant in an ongoing SEC enforcement action, isn’t entirely free of conflicts in dismantling the SEC’s effectiveness.”

OHIO INTRODUCES BILL PREVENTING STATE TAXES ON CRYPTO PAYMENTS

The legislation also requires state pension funds to evaluate investing in crypto exchange-traded funds, and covers the right to self-custody and crypto mining.

Lawmakers in the US state of Ohio have introduced a bill that prohibits the state legislature from imposing taxes on digital assets when used as a payment method.

Ohio House Bill 116, introduced on Feb. 24 by Representative Steve Demetriou and co-sponsored by Tex Fischer, Brian Lorenz, Ty D. Mathews, Riordan McClain and Josh Williams, aims to amend existing legislation preventing municipalities from imposing extra taxes or fees on crypto assets beyond those applied to traditional fiat transactions.

The general assembly shall not enact a bill that proposes to impose a fee, tax, assessment, or other charge on digital assets used as a method of payment for goods and services,” it reads.

The bill defines “digital assets” as cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and non-fungible tokens.  

The bill clarifies that taxes usually applied to legal tender, such as state or sales taxes, would still apply to crypto transactions, but there should be no new levies.

The “Ohio Blockchain Basics Act” also stated that no state agency or political subdivision may prohibit individuals from accepting crypto assets as payment for goods and services.

Right to self-custody, crypto mining

The bill also lets its residents retain the right to self-custody their digital assets using hardware or self-hosted wallets and partake in crypto staking.

Additionally, activities such as mining, staking, and exchanging crypto assets for other crypto assets do not require “money transmission” licensing under existing Ohio laws.

Individuals are also permitted to engage in crypto mining in residential areas if they comply with local zoning regulations. Meanwhile, mining businesses are explicitly allowed in industrial zones and cannot be unfairly targeted by local zoning changes.

Under the proposed legislation change, Ohio state retirement funds will also be required to evaluate the potential risks and benefits of investing in a crypto exchange-traded fund and report back to the General Assembly within a year.

Ohio representatives have been proactive with crypto-related bills in recent months. In September, Ohio Senator Niraj Antani introduced a bill requiring the state to accept cryptocurrency for payment of state taxes and fees.

In December, Ohio House Republican leader Derek Merrin introduced HB 703, aiming to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the state.

Meanwhile, Ohio Senator Sandra O’Brien introduced another bill in February to create an “Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Fund,” with a five-year hodling period.

SOUTH DAKOTA FOLLOWS MONTANA'S LEAD, THROWS WATER ON BITCOIN RESERVE PLANS

While South Dakota lawmakers rejected the bill citing volatility concerns, Rep Logan Manhart plans to push for its revival next year.

South Dakota lawmakers dealt another blow to Bitcoin advocates on Monday when they voted to axe a bill that would have allowed the state to invest in Bitcoin.

In a key move, the House Commerce and Energy Committee voted 9-3 to defer HB1202 until the 41st day of the session, a procedural decision that effectively killed the bill, as the session concludes in no more than 40 days.

South Dakota’s decision follows a similar outcome in Montana, where lawmakers shot down a Bitcoin reserve bill in a 41-59 vote last week.

The proposal, introduced by State Representative Logan Manhart (R-S.D.), sought to permit the state to allocate up to 10% of its public funds into Bitcoin investments as a way to diversify its financial portfolio.

"It’s a commonsense update to South Dakota’s investment strategy by allowing a limited allocation of state funds into alternative assets that have consistently proven to preserve value, particularly in inflationary environments," Manhart said, as cited in the South Dakota Public Broadcasting report.

Matt Clark, South Dakota’s State Investment Officer, raised concerns about Bitcoin’s volatility and lack of intrinsic value.

Tishwash:  As the world's largest buyer of gold, Iraq ranks seventh

The World Gold Council announced today, Tuesday, that “Iraq ranked first among Arab countries in purchasing gold.”

He said in a statement, "The volume of Iraq's gold purchases in 2024 amounted to about 20.1 tons, and thus these reserves amount to 152 tons, while Iraq's gold purchases in 2023 were about 12.3 tons."

The council added, "Qatar came in second, followed by the UAE in third, Azerbaijan in fourth, China in fifth, and the Czech Republic in sixth."

Tishwash:  Urgent | Oil Minister: We look forward to resuming exports from Ceyhan within two days

Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani confirmed today, Monday, the readiness of the export pipeline to the port of Ceyhan, while there are discussions with the Turkish side to resume exports within the next two days.

Abdul Ghani said in a press statement followed by “Iraq Observer”, “The ministry continues to export oil through the southern outlet in Basra port and Basra oil port.”

He added, "The ministry is now in discussions and correspondence with the Turkish side to resume exports," indicating that "once the Turkish side's approval arrives, exports will resume."

Abdul Ghani expressed his hope that “exports will resume within the next two days,” stressing that “the oil export pipeline to the Ceyhan oil port is ready, and there are some technical matters that need to be reorganized to resume exports.”

He stressed that "the agreed quantity for export through the Kurdistan Region, according to the budget law, ranges between 300 and 325 thousand barrels per day, part of which is used for local consumption, while the rest is exported."  link

Tishwash:  After a "difficult labor", the 2025 budget tables finally find their way to the Council of Ministers

A responsible source in the Iraqi Ministry of Finance stated on Monday that the delay in sending the federal budget tables to the Council of Ministers is related to amendments to Article 12 of the Budget Law.

The Iraqi parliament recently approved an amendment to the general budget related to Article 12, which settles a dispute between the Kurdistan Region and the federal government over receiving the region’s oil.

In summary, the Iraqi Parliament voted in June 2023 on the draft general budget law for the fiscal years (2023, 2024, 2025), to approve special budget tables for those years, which will be sent by the Iraqi government to Parliament for voting.

The government source told Shafaq News Agency, "The Ministry of Finance has been working for some time on preparing the general budget tables for the year 2025, in order to send them to the Council of Ministers for approval."

He pointed out that "the Ministry of Finance will finish preparing the tables and send them to the Council of Ministers for voting on them in the middle of next month," noting that "the Council of Ministers will vote on the tables without delay and then send them to the House of Representatives for voting on them."

The Federal Ministry of Oil announced yesterday, Sunday, the completion of the necessary procedures to complete the export of oil produced in the Kurdistan Region via the Turkish port of Ceyhan, stressing that this step comes in accordance with the mechanisms specified in the budget law and its amendment, and within the production ceiling set for Iraq in the OPEC organization.

The Kurdistan Regional Government's negotiating delegation responded to the Ministry of Oil's announcement by calling on the federal government to implement its obligations before proceeding with the oil export process.

The delegation explained that despite the regional government’s confirmation of its commitment to implementing the first amendment law to the federal general budget law, which relates to re-exporting oil produced from the region’s fields to the Turkish port of Ceyhan via SOMO, implementing the law requires agreement on several basic points, including determining the quantities allocated for local consumption in the region, in line with actual needs, similar to the rest of Iraq, and establishing a clear and specific mechanism for paying the dues of production and transportation companies to the regional government, in accordance with what is stated in the law. link

BRICS: US DOLLAR FALLS FOR 3RD STRAIGHT WEEK FROM TRUMP TARIFFS

With a trade war brewing with the BRICS alliance, the US dollar has fallen for the 3rd straight week amid the ongoing Trump tariffs. Indeed, the country is beginning to see the effects of the ongoing import taxes as the currency struggled to end the week yet again.

All eyes are on how the global economy will react to the increased global tensions. Friday saw US President Donald Trump restate his threat towards the economic alliance. This time, he warned of 150% tariffs, as he further claimed that the bloc “broke up” amid the warning.

BRICS: US DOLLAR FALLS FOR 3RD STRAIGHT WEEK FROM TRUMP TARIFFS

With a trade war brewing with the BRICS alliance, the US dollar has fallen for the 3rd straight week amid the ongoing Trump tariffs. Indeed, the country is beginning to see the effects of the ongoing import taxes as the currency struggled to end the week yet again.

All eyes are on how the global economy will react to the increased global tensions. Friday saw US President Donald Trump restate his threat towards the economic alliance. This time, he warned of 150% tariffs, as he further claimed that the bloc “broke up” amid the warning.

US Dollar Takes a Hit as Trump Tariff Hurts More Than Just BRICS

There have been growing concerns over US President Donald Trump’s economic policy. The aggressive nature of the plans has many worrying that it will only fast-track further de-dollarization. 

Indeed, what drove the nation to move away from the greenback, to begin with, was the weaponization of the global reserve asset. However, the current administration is seeking to do far worse than sanctions could.

Yet, it appears as though the continued threat of import taxes has begun to hinder the currency itself. Indeed, amid the BRICS opposition, the US dollar fell for the 3rd straight week amid the ongoing Trump tariffs, according to a Reuters report.

The fading value of the greenback has had an adverse reaction to the fast start of Trump’s second campaign. Specifically, his return to the Oval Office and the US dollar’s performance under his watch “has been mostly bluster on tariffs,” the report notes.

This is not a new phenomenon either. The greenback had been “struggling for traction in the past few weeks.” Moreover, in February alone, it has dropped more than 1.8%. Currently, the global reserve asset, is headed for its largest monthly drop since September.

The driving factor looks to be the ongoing tariff threat warnings. Although they have yet to be actualized, they are certainly taking their toll. With the US economy stagnating over geopolitical tensions, there is little interest for investors to increase dollar holdings, driving the fall.

THE ‘BITCOIN’ SENATOR TO CHAIR FIRST DIGITAL ASSET HEARING WEDNESDAY

It has been a long journey for Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) as she champions Bitcoin and digital assets in Congress. Earning respect and acceptance both in the bitcoin community and the legislative arena takes time, but after four years, Lummis will finally assume the role of Chair of the newly established Digital Asset Subcommittee under the Senate Banking Committee.

This presents a historic opportunity as Congress moves toward passing comprehensive legislation on stablecoins and market structure, potentially within the next year.

However, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Lummis’ longtime co-sponsor on crypto legislation, does not serve on the Senate Banking CommitteeTherefore, Lummis must garner support from Senate Democrats on the committee to advance bipartisan initiatives

Gillibrand, along with Lummis, has already co-sponsored Senator Bill Hagerty’s (R-TN) GENIUS Act, signaling her commitment to bridging political divides in the evolving regulatory landscape that would start with stablecoin legislation.

Witness Endorsement of an X Article “That Colossal Wreck”

Among the scheduled witnesses for the upcoming hearing is Jai Massari, Co-Founder and Chief Legal Officer of Lightspark. This past Friday, February 21, Massari endorsed an article on X calling for significant reform within the SEC that included calling out Democrats who previously led the SEC’s crypto regulation by enforcement efforts under the Biden Administration.

Austin Campbellan Adjunct Professor at the NYU Stern School of Businessformer and recently appointed as the CEO of WSPNwho has been a frequent witness in Congress and thought leader on crypto policywith a tradfi background from ChaseStone Ridge and JP Morgan Chasehas been a vocal critic of the SEC’s regulatory approach under the Biden Administration.

In his article mentioned above with respect to Massari’s endorsement, "That Colossal Wreck," Campbell revealed that a senior Democratic Party official had urged him to temper his rhetoric toward former SEC Chair Gary Gensler and others who were previously at the SEC

According to Campbellhe refused and then was inspired to lay out his vision of what he felt should happen to those who participated in the SEC over the last four years based on the damage caused by their policies.

"They should not be allowed to return to the government, allowed anywhere near the levers of power, and anyone in the Democratic party supporting, aiding, abetting, or directing them should be ejected immediately and roundly derided for this absolutely shameful chapter in US financial regulatory history," said Campbell.

Massari emphatically tweeted on X regarding Campbell’s article:

"This. All of this. Every word. @CampbellJAustin 🔥✅🏆 We must do better. Face the no good, very bad story and work to fix it. Caring about good government and institutions means taking a hard and clear-eyed look, particularly when it is not politically convenient."

While it is not yet known what Massari will testify on specifically as written testimony is not yet public, this message seems to underscore the need for cooperation and bipartisanship to forge meaningful and long-lasting crypto legislation in the U.S., regardless of the politics involved. 

Between what appears to be a softer tone on crypto in the Senate Banking Committee from Ranking Member Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and the drive by Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC) and the Republicans to pass stablecoin and possibly market structure legislation within the first 100 days of the Trump AdministrationMassari and her other witnesses may spur on Congress toward historical, landmark laws for crypto in the U.S. that have been years in the making.

It is going to be a challenge for Lummis to make sure this new subcommittee can be effective. Her colleague across the aisle will be Ranking Member Ruben Gallego (D-AZ)

Senator Gallego did vote last year when he was a Congressman for FIT21 in the House, as well as for the repeal of SAB 121, which according to industry ratings means he strongly supports crypto.

Details on the Witnesses and Hearing Information

Besides Massari, Mr. Jonathan Jachym, Deputy General Counsel and Global Head Of Policy & Government Relations for Kraken Digital Asset Exchangewill be testifyingJachym just testified in the House. The third and final witness posted at this point is Mr. Lewis CohenPartner, Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP

Cohen is one of the leading “crypto native” lawyers in the United States and advises clients on complex legal and regulatory matters related to blockchain, cryptocurrency, and tokenization across global capital markets. a witness.

The hearing can be viewed via livestream starting on Wednesday, February 26 at 2:30pm ET and will take place in Dirksen Senate Office Building 538.

ROBINHOOD SAYS SEC DROPPED CRYPTO INVESTIGATION, IN LATEST WITHDRAWAL

Today Robinhood announced that Robinhood Crypto was notified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that the SEC would not be taking enforcement action. This follows the SEC issuing a Wells Notice last year warning of impending legal action relating to crypto custody, cryptocurrency listings and platform operations.

Under acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda, several crypto related cases have been dropped or paused. It recently dropped the investigation into NFT platform OpenSea and on Friday Coinbase said its SEC court case would end, subject to Commissioner approval. Earlier this month the SEC paused its case against Binance.

Plus it withdrew its appeal in its attempt to expand the definition of brokers to include liquidity providers.

Back to Robinhood“We applaud the staff’s decision to close this investigation with no action,” said Dan Gallagher, Chief Legal, Compliance and Corporate Affairs Officer, Robinhood Markets, Inc.

 “Let me be crystal clear—this investigation never should have been opened. Robinhood Crypto always has and will always respect federal securities laws and never allowed transactions in securities.” Mr Gallagher is himself a former SEC Commissioner.

The announcement highlighted that Robinhood Crypto had been careful in its approach, only listing 18 cryptocurrencies after thorough due diligence, as opposed to the hundreds listed by other platforms.

US Government Won’t Say if Fort Knox Gold is Missing

US Government Won’t Say if Fort Knox Gold is Missing

Mark Moss:  2-24-2025

For generations, Fort Knox has been synonymous with American financial security. We’ve been told it houses roughly $250 billion worth of gold bullion, a bedrock of stability for the U.S. dollar. But what if that foundation is built on shaky ground? What if the gold everyone believes is there… isn’t?

This isn’t some far-fetched conspiracy theory being whispered in the dark corners of the internet. The unsettling truth is that no independent audit of Fort Knox’s gold reserves has been conducted in over half a century. 

US Government Won’t Say if Fort Knox Gold is Missing

Mark Moss:  2-24-2025

For generations, Fort Knox has been synonymous with American financial security. We’ve been told it houses roughly $250 billion worth of gold bullion, a bedrock of stability for the U.S. dollar. But what if that foundation is built on shaky ground? What if the gold everyone believes is there… isn’t?

This isn’t some far-fetched conspiracy theory being whispered in the dark corners of the internet. The unsettling truth is that no independent audit of Fort Knox’s gold reserves has been conducted in over half a century. 

Think about that for a moment. Fifty years without a comprehensive, transparent accounting of assets supposedly underpinning our entire financial system.

The U.S. government consistently refuses independent audits, fueling speculation and distrust. They could easily silence the doubters, quell the rumors, and reassure the public by simply opening the vault and allowing a thorough examination. Yet, they refuse.

The last time outsiders were granted access was arguably more of a carefully orchestrated PR event than a genuine inspection. Politicians posed for photo opportunities with gold bars, but there was no rigorous inventory. No weighing of the bars. No verification of serial numbers. Just a fleeting glimpse designed to project an image of security, without actually providing any concrete proof.

So, the burning question remains: Why won’t the government definitively prove the gold is there? And what happens if it’s not? The implications could be catastrophic, potentially triggering a financial crisis of unprecedented scale.

But even if the gold is actually there, it raises another, equally important question: is it the quantity and quality we’ve been led to believe?

The official explanations often revolve around security concerns and the cost of undertaking such a massive audit. However, these justifications ring hollow. Modern technology allows for sophisticated non-invasive testing and accounting methods that minimize security risks. As for the cost, wouldn’t guaranteeing the stability of the U.S. financial system warrant the expense?

History teaches us a vital lesson: when governments shroud their actions in secrecy, the people ultimately bear the consequences. The mystery of Fort Knox demands answers.

Until those answers are provided, it’s crucial to remain vigilant and take proactive steps to safeguard your financial future. The time to prepare is now, before the truth – whatever it may be – is finally revealed.

Watch the video below from Mark Moss for further insights and information.

Grayscale’s XRP ETF (19b-4 filing) has officially been posted to the Federal Register. All this means is that the clock starts now for the SEC to engage and either approve or deny on or before October 18.

The SEC follows a structured timeline when reviewing ETF proposals under the 19b-4 process. Initially, the agency has 45 days from publication to make a decision or extend the review.

 If an extension is granted, the SEC can push the deadline to 90 days. The commission can further extend the timeline, with additional review periods of 45 and 60 days, bringing the latest possible deadline to Oct. 18, 2025.

During this time, the SEC will solicit public comments, analyze market impact, and assess compliance with regulatory requirements. Approval could come at any stage, but historically, the SEC has taken the full timeline before issuing a final decision.

The filing, submitted by NYSE Arca, seeks to list and trade shares of the Grayscale XRP Trust under Rule 8.201-E, which governs commodity-based trust shares.

The securities regulator has already approved spot bitcoin ETFs and spot ether ETFs, paving the way for broader cryptocurrency investment products.

The departure of former SEC Chair Gary Gensler has further altered the agency’s stance, with his successor taking a more crypto-friendly approach. Under the new leadership, the SEC has paused or dropped multiple lawsuits against crypto firms, fueling speculation that Ripple’s ongoing legal battle could be the next case to be dismissed.

This change in regulatory climate has increased optimism that the XRP ETF may have a smoother path to approval compared to earlier crypto ETF applications.

With the publication in the Federal Register, the SEC will now open a public comment period before making a final decision on the Grayscale XRP ETF.

If approved, the fund would allow investors to trade the XRP ETF shares on a regulated exchange, potentially increasing market liquidity and accessibility for XRP. The crypto community is closely watching, as the SEC’s ruling could influence future cryptocurrency ETFs and broader digital asset adoption.

US GOLD INFLUX: SWISS EXPORTS SURGE TO UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS

In January, Swiss gold exports to the U.S. reached a record high of 193 metric tons, driven by fears of potential tariffs. This surge, exceeding the total for 2024, was triggered by a premium on Comex gold futures, creating a profitable opportunity for traders to deliver gold to U.S. warehouses.

Due to differing bar sizes between London and New York, gold is typically refined in Switzerland before being shipped to the U.S. This influx contributed to a significant increase in gold held in Comex depositories and a near doubling of Switzerland’s total gold exports.

DJ: DID YOU KNOW?

With the new administration making bold and sweeping changes, adapting the proper mindset will be crucial for the success of their efforts. Governmental policy changes, in particular, have profound effects on economies, businesses, and everyday citizens.

When the status quo is ineffective, change becomes necessary to address systemic flaws and inefficiencies. Learning to accept these changes requires an open mindset, adaptability, and a willingness to engage with civic processes.

 Change is an inevitable part of life, influencing individuals, organizations, and societies in various ways. While it often leads to growth and improvement, it can also bring uncertainty and resistance.

DJ: DID YOU KNOW?

With the new administration making bold and sweeping changes, adapting the proper mindset will be crucial for the success of their efforts. Governmental policy changes, in particular, have profound effects on economies, businesses, and everyday citizens.

When the status quo is ineffective, change becomes necessary to address systemic flaws and inefficiencies. Learning to accept these changes requires an open mindset, adaptability, and a willingness to engage with civic processes.

 Change is an inevitable part of life, influencing individuals, organizations, and societies in various ways. While it often leads to growth and improvement, it can also bring uncertainty and resistance.

That being said we can look at current events, as related to a GCR/RV, two different ways. One way to view it is, as long as all these mass changes are being implemented it would make sense to throw the GCR/RV into the mix since the public is already establishing the mindset to adjust and accept these changes.

On the other hand, it also makes sense for these sweeping changes to take root and level out, to be operational, before throwing in a currency revaluation.

Either way preparing the mindset for the global public to accept systemic financial changes will be no easy task. Most will obviously benefit from the changes but as in all things that change there will be those who are comfortable with the status quo and resistant to leaving their comfort zones.

Even if the “status quo” is inefficient, it has been the world they have learned to live in. New learning curves are rarely something someone wants to engage in. (Think about every time you had to get used to a new phone).

As the U.S. goes, so goes the rest of the world. When the U.S. makes changes other nations have to adjust, in one way or another, to our policies. Sometimes good. Sometimes not so good. But either way they have to adapt.

First you have to build the boat. (The boat is all the mechanisms and systems required to implement the GCR). Then you have to see if the boat floats ( Is everything working?) Then you send the boat to sea to cross the oceans. The boat has been under construction for years and is ready to see if it floats.

Puts a whole different meaning to the cliché “whatever floats your boat” doesn’t it?  DJ

Frank26   Iraq...is international without a doubt.  The problem is they have not release the REASON why you are international yet.  That will be a new exchange rate with a new denomination of currencies called the lower notes.

Militia Man   Article:  "Reform committee announced 22% growth in tax revenues with revenues reaching 4 trillion dinars."  Why is that important Remember Iraq's valuation is based off of oil...That's not true.  There's non-oil and there's tax revenues [now].  That valuation at $3.22 for the dinar back a long time ago was based off only oil.  Now they have non-oil.  They have growth.  There's not even talking about gas.  Iraq has a massive amount of revenue streams...Keep that in mind when it comes to the valuation - a real effective exchange rate.  Because they're going to be able to use real fundamentals...Take it seriously...This is for real...it's going to be big money and it's going to have a global impact.
