UAE COMMITS TO $1.4 TRILLION US INVESTMENT, WHITE HOUSE SAYS

WASHINGTON/DUBAI, March 21 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates has committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in the United States after top UAE officials met President Donald Trump this week, the White House said on Friday.

The framework will "substantially increase the UAE's existing investments in the U.S. economy" in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing, the White House said in a statement.

The White House did not outline how UAE investments would reach $1.4 trillion, with some of the deals unveiled as part of the framework having already been announced.

The only fully new deal appeared to be an investment by Emirates Global Aluminium in what would be the first new aluminum smelter in the United States in 35 years, the White House said, adding the plant "would nearly double U.S. domestic aluminum production".

"Developing a primary aluminium smelter in the U.S. has been part of EGA's ambitions for several years," a spokesperson for the firm said in a statement.

The UAE, an oil producer and longtime security partner of the U.S., is looking to deepen investment ties with Washington and is emerging as a global leader in AI, one of the sectors it is betting on to diversify its economy away from energy.

In September, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan met former U.S. President Joe Biden, in the first visit of a UAE president to the White House, as the two leaders discussed deepening cooperation in areas such as AI, investments and space exploration.

Gulf sovereign wealth funds, including Abu Dhabi's $330-billion Mubadala, are already big U.S. investors, and Trump and his family have business ties to the region.

OVAL OFFICE MEETING

Trump in January asked Saudi Arabia to spend upwards of $1 trillion in the U.S. economy, over four years, including purchases of military equipment, and said this month he likely would make his first trip abroad to the Gulf country to seal an investment agreement.

The deal, which could happen between this month or the next, would come at a time when Saudi Arabia, the Arab world's biggest economy, has been taking a more prominent role in U.S. foreign policy. The Gulf country is set to host diplomatic talks around Ukraine involving the United States and Russia next week.

The White House said on Friday the UAE agreement resulted from a meeting that Trump held on Tuesday with national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan in the Oval Office and a dinner that Vice President JD Vance and several cabinet members held with the UAE delegation, which included the heads of major UAE sovereign wealth funds and corporations.

Among the tie-ups highlighted on Friday was a partnership between UAE sovereign wealth fund ADQ, which is chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon, and U.S. private equity firm Energy Capital Partners, for a $25 billion U.S.-focused initiative to invest in energy infrastructure and data centers. That had been previously announced two days ago.

A commitment by XRG, the international investment arm of UAE state oil company ADNOC launched in November, to support U.S. natural gas production and exports with an investment in the NextDecade liquefied natural gas export facility in Texas, had previously been made public last year by ADNOC, under Biden.

AUSTRALIA OUTLINES CRYPTO REGULATION PLAN, PROMISES ACTION ON DEBANKING

The Albanese-led government intends to release draft legislation in 2025 for public consultation and promised to work with Australia’s four largest banks to better understand de-banking.

Australia’s government, under its ruling center-left Labor Party, has proposed a new crypto framework regulating exchanges under existing financial services laws and has promised to tackle debanking.

It comes ahead of a federal election slated to be held on or before May 17, which current polling shows is shaping up to a dead heat between Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Labor and the opposing Coalition led by Peter Dutton.

The Treasury Department said in a March 21 statement that crypto exchanges, custody services and some brokerage firms that trade or store crypto will come under the new laws.

The regime imposes similar compliance requirements as other financial services in the country, such as following rules safeguarding customer assets, obtaining an Australian Financial Services Licence and meeting minimum capital requirements.

In August 2022, the government initiated a series of industry consultations to draft a crypto regulatory framework.

“Our legislative reforms will extend existing financial services laws to key digital asset platforms, but not to all of the digital asset ecosystem,” the Treasury said in its statement.

Small-scale and startup platforms that don’t meet specific size thresholds will be exempt, along with firms that develop blockchain-related software or create digital assets that aren’t financial products.

Payment stablecoins will be treated as a type of stored-value facility under the Government’s Payments Licensing Reforms; however, some stablecoins and wrapped tokens will be exempt.

“Dealing or secondary market trading in these products will be not treated as a dealing activity, and platforms where they are traded will not be treated as operating a market simply because of that trading activity,” the Treasury said.

As part of its crypto agenda, Albanese’s government has also promised to work with Australia’s four largest banks to better understand the extent and nature of de-banking.

There will also be a review into a central bank digital currency and an Enhanced Regulatory Sandbox in 2025, allowing businesses to test new financial products without needing a license.

Albanese’s government intends to release a draft of the legislation for public consultation. However, a change of government could be on the horizon with a looming federal election, a date for which is yet to be called.

Dutton’s center-right Coalition had earlier promised to prioritize crypto regulation if it wins the election.

The latest YouGov poll published on March 20 shows the Coalition and Labor neck in neck for a two-party preferred vote.

Caroline Bowler, the CEO of local crypto exchange BTC Markets, said in a statement shared with Cointelegraph that the areas of reform are sensible and would keep Australia competitive with global peers.

However, she thinks there “will be additional detail required on capital adequacy and custody requirements.”

“We need to ensure that these requirements aren’t overly burdensome for business investment in Australia,” Bowler said.

Kraken Australia’s managing director, Jonathon Miller, said there is an “urgent need for bespoke crypto legislation” to address the existing confusion and uncertainty in the country’s industry.

“We believe that by establishing a clear crypto regulatory framework and mitigating problems like debanking, government can remove the barriers hampering growth in the Australian economy,” he said.

Clare:  New shipping line: Umm Qasr receives first mega-ship from South Korea

3/20/2025

On Wednesday, Farhan Al-Fartousi, Director of Iraq's Ports, announced the inauguration of a new maritime line with the arrival of a South Korean giant vessel at Umm Qasr Port.

In a statement to Shafaq News, Al-Fartousi described the launch of the new line as "an important historical step," noting that this journey is the first of its kind.

The first giant container ship of the South Korean company HMM arrived at Umm Qasr Ports, marking the beginning of a new era of trade cooperation between Iraq and South Korea.

"The ship is 366 meters long, with a maximum capacity of 16,000 containers, although it arrived with a lower load," Al-Fartousi added.

He emphasized that Iraq is working to strengthen cooperation with leading countries in maritime transport to "achieve the best economic benefits."

Al-Fartousi also anticipated a greater flow of goods and commodities through Iraq's ports in the future, "which will contribute to boosting trade activity and fostering national economic growth in Iraq."LINK

Mnt Goat  I am going to show you the ...events that...can have a huge impact on moving forward with the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. These events include:  1. ...the direct implementation of the ASYCUDA SYSTEM at customs throughout Iraq.  2.  ...the “White Paper” Pillars of Financial Reform... we know that the...efforts are all but fully completed.  3. ...the issue of the parallel market (black market) and the CBI now tells us they have to “kill it” permanently.  4.  The Silk Road and Industrial Cities projects.  5.  The US has already declared that Iraq must deal with the Iranian militia...According to the US president, Iraq must reverse its course from an Iranian puppet state. 6.  The passing of the Oil and Gas law...  I firmly believe that it will be convergence of these six (6) activities above that will get us the reinstatement back to FOREX.

Frank26  In the beginning, the exchange rate is looking for at least 1 to 1 with the American dollar, not to be matched with it but to be paired with it and possibly a basket of international currencies with value for each other.  Then later on the Real Effective Exchange Rate will come in a float...As the whole world uses your currency it will climb in international value by trading it...using it...selling it, by crossing it from bank to bank, platform to platform.  The dinar will grow internationally, then at that point the CBI will control this financial growth of your exchange rate by monitoring it and then capping it at a specific number that was tested and approved through the RV phase of your monetary reform.

BRICS Just Took Another Step against the US Dollar

BRICS Just Took Another Step against the US Dollar

Geopolitical Analyst:  3-20-2025

The landscape of global finance is shifting, and the BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – are at the forefront of a potential revolution.

In a bold move that challenges the long-standing dominance of the US dollar, BRICS finance ministers recently finalized a new payment mechanism designed to bypass the dollar in international trade.

 But what does this actually mean, how will it affect the flow of goods and money around the world, and most importantly, how could it impact you?

For years, the BRICS nations have been subtly chipping away at the US dollar’s seemingly unshakeable reign. This recent agreement marks a significant escalation, signaling a clear intention to de-dollarize international trade and reclaim economic sovereignty. But why is this such a monumental development?

The US dollar has been the world’s undisputed reserve currency for decades, facilitating over 88% of global foreign exchange transactions. Its stability and widespread acceptance have made it the go-to currency for international trade and a crucial asset for many nations to stabilize their economies. However, the BRICS nations are now resolutely saying, “No more.”

The recent steps taken by the BRICS nations are already sending ripples throughout the global financial system. The international monetary order, which has been heavily reliant on the US dollar for decades, is facing an unprecedented challenge. If these trends continue, the dollar’s dominance could weaken considerably over the next decade.

A key driver behind this shift is the growing frustration amongst many countries, particularly in the developing world, regarding their dependence on the US-led financial system.

The present global financial infrastructure grants the US considerable leverage over other nations, enabling Washington to impose sanctions, restrict access to the SWIFT payment system, and influence international lending institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.

The BRICS nations’ move to de-dollarize is not just a financial maneuver, it’s a statement of intent. It represents a desire for greater economic independence and a challenge to the established global financial order.

As this movement gains momentum, it will undoubtedly reshape the future of global trade and have a ripple effect on economies and individuals around the world. It’s a development worth watching closely, as it could redefine the economic landscape for years to come.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

SEC’S OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON RIPPLE LAWSUIT STILL PENDING: HERE’S WHAT WE CAN EXPECT

Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, recently announced that the SEC has finally dropped its appeal against Ripple, marking the end of a lengthy legal battle that lasted over three years. The SEC has decided not to pursue further legal action, confirming that Ripple is no longer under threat from the regulatory body.

This decision has had an immediate impact on XRP’s price, which surged following the announcement. The legal saga, which began with the SEC’s claim that Ripple violated securities laws by selling XRP, has been a major point of contention in the cryptocurrency space.

Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett responded, explaining that the SEC still needs to formally approve the withdrawal of its appeal. Once the Commission gives the green light, they can expect a press release similar to the one issued earlier this year when the SEC dismissed its lawsuit against Coinbase.

Terrett added that the SEC typically addresses matters of litigation and enforcement during their closed meetings. The dismissal of the Ripple case will likely be discussed at one of these meetings, which is scheduled for next Thursday.

RIPPLE CEO PREDICTS NEW RLUSD CRYPTO TO BE TOP 5 STABLECOIN BY YEAR END FOLLOWING SEC’S DROPPED XRP LAWSUIT

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says the firm’s dollar-pegged crypto asset will become a top stablecoin by the end of the year after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dropped its lawsuit against the payments platform.

In a new interview, Garlinghouse says that RLUSD – which launched in December 2024 – will grow into a top-five stablecoin after the regulatory agency dropped its lawsuit against Ripple Labs for allegedly violating securities law.

According to Garlinghouse, the stablecoins sector of the industry should see massive growth in the next few years.

“I think we’re underestimating how big [stablecoins] might get. Today, that market is about $230 billion. Some smart people think that may go up 10x in the next five years – I think that’s probably right…

Ripple launched its own stablecoin at the end of the last year that’s already ahead of our own internal forecast in terms of where we are at this point…

We’re still really small, but the goal is by the end of the year, for RLUSD, Ripple’s stablecoin, to be one of the top five in the market, and I think the whole market is going to grow dramatically this year.”

Earlier this week, the SEC announced it is dropping its case against Ripple Labs for allegedly selling unregistered securities, causing XRP, the digital asset associated with the firm, to rally.

Ripple was initially sued by the SEC in 2020, but a judge in 2022 ruled that the open-market sales of XRP to retail investors do not qualify as securities.

XRP is trading for $2.47 at time of writing, a 2.4% decrease on the day while RLUSD has a market cap of $169.6 billion.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Fri. 21 March 2025

Compiled Fri. 21March 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: It was all about money. Just in the past four weeks the Trump/Musk DOGE investigations have verified a mind boggling Deepstate money laundering scheme: the U.S. Treasury cannot account for $4.1 trillion in payments.

That amounts to over a third of the National Debt – which was supposedly owed to the privately owned by bankers of the Deepstate Federal Reserve as a result of them charging US Taxpayers interest to use their own monies – the US Dollar having been made fiat long ago by the same Deepstate perpetrators.

Global Currency Reset:

Thurs. 20 March 2025 Bruce:

There were 18 currencies in the World going up in value.

The Dinar has (allegedly) revalued.

The new currency rates were now (allegedly) on the Bank, Redemption Center and Forex screens and populating up in value.

Tier4b (Us, the Internet Group) would not receive our appointments until the rates were solid on the screens, which they weren’t yet.

The Forex screen rate is not the rate we would receive at the Redemption Center, which would be (allegedly) higher except for the Dong.

Bond Holders were going into Reno and Miami (not Zurich or New York) to redeem their bonds and will likely have access to their accounts by Sat. 22 March.

Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) will (allegedly) receive notification to set redemption appointments sometime between Fri. 21 March and Tues. 25 March.

Wed. 19 March 2025 Wolverine: Gold backed currency (allegedly) started Tues. 18 March. People in Colombia are getting paid on the bond. Good news from Zurich.

Wed. 19 March 2025 Mike Bara: I have been told Zurich and Reno are paying out. I have reports that things were extremely active in Reno. Exchanging money, money flowing. Different groups of people from those we were hearing from. I have been told of people being paid in Zurich.

Wed. 19 March 2025 Jen: What we got on Monday is that most paymasters have funds to distribute. They will (allegedly) do so this week. Approximately 90% complete on other tiers.

Wed. 19 March 2025 Elaina: I have been tracking a lot of pieces of data for money movements and watching various centers of influence. This morning, I observed 30 private aircraft fly into Reno in very quick succession. Between 900am and 945am PST. A US Government Learjet came in at 830am PST. There was also a higher than normal number of private aircraft that arrived into Zurich in the last 24 hours.

Global Currency Reset – It’s Happening Now! …Quantum Financial System on Telegram

The Storm Has Arrived! The gold-backed financial system has BEGUN. Reports confirm payouts are moving FAST in Colombia, Zurich, and Reno. This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. Iraq’s codes are (allegedly) being released. The revaluation is imminent. Paymasters are locked in, and high-level banking elites are scrambling.

MONEY IS MOVING. Once Reno is fully confirmed, within HOURS the Dinar will revalue. The pieces are falling into place! The corrupt fiat system is crumbling in real time. Sources from Zurich and Reno confirm large payouts happening NOW. If Reno is active, the Dinar RV will explode within 72 hours—or even TONIGHT.

Massive financial movements cannot be ignored. Private jets flooded Reno and Zurich in rapid succession, and a U.S. Government Learjet landed at 8:30 AM PST. What are they preparing for? The answer is clear: Tier 4B is about to be unleashed.

TRUMP CLEARED THE PATH! The Deepstate minions in Iraq were eliminated so that Iran couldn’t interfere with this reset. The Cabal fought to delay it, but they failed. Trump’s operatives ensured Iraq could proceed without retaliation. The result? The Forex rates are ready to shift. This is financial warfare, and we are WINNING.

Banks are already showing the new rates! Chase & JP Morgan screens confirm skyrocketing values: IQD: $5.23 VND: $3.89

The system is nearly 90% complete. Notifications are set to drop ANY MOMENT. Emails will start rolling out AS SOON AS TODAY. Do NOT be caught off guard—have everything prepared.

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN! Keep an eye on your emails. The next 24 hours could change EVERYTHING. The fiat system is on life support, and the new financial era is about to begin. STAY READY. IT’S HAPPENING!

Frank26  I very strongly believe as the cards are being dealt out, we investors of the Iraqi dinar are holding a trump card...Security and stability is the only thing that we need. Do we need to calculate the exchange rate?  No.  The RV phase took care of that over a dozen years ago.  Do we need to get the banks up to modern technology, up to par with the rest of the international world?  No, the US Treasury is on the ninth floor, the whole freaking floor!  ...Do you think that's for 1310?  No, I don't Frank.  Well good for you then because you hold a trump card don't you?  Yes you do.

MarkZ   [via PDK]  Question:  Mark do you think there’s a chance this could go into April?  No – I do not.  IMO, There is a possibility that exchanges could go into April…just because exchanges could take awhile.  I do have 3 different groups that have expressed to me their expectations to be processed over the weekend. If this happens it is highly possible to see 4a moving over the weekend...I already have some wealth managers/redemption folks tell me they are scheduled to work this weekend.

Tishwash:  Minister of Finance Stresses Importance of Modernizing Debt Management and Financial Analysis from Geneva

Minister of Finance Taif Sami stressed the importance of modernizing debt management and committing to developing financial management mechanisms and enhancing transparency to support economic sustainability.

The Ministry of Finance stated in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), "Minister of Finance Taif Sami participated today, Thursday, in the opening session of the United Nations Trade and Development Advisory Group meeting taking place in Geneva. The meeting aims to enhance the efficiency of debt management and develop financial analysis mechanisms in line with national and international strategies."

She added, "The session addressed the follow-up on the implementation of the Data Management Financial Services (DAMFAD) program for the period from 2020 to 2024, in addition to discussing the strategic plan for the next period (2025-2028), with a focus on ways to continuously develop and update the approved mechanisms.

The meeting also included a discussion session bringing together current and potential users of DAMFAD, providing an opportunity to exchange experiences and opinions to enhance the quality of services provided."

She continued, "As part of enhancing international cooperation, a donor consultation meeting was held to expand the financial support network. This reflects the Ministry of Finance's commitment to working together with all relevant stakeholders to achieve national financial goals.

 The conference also witnessed the release of the seventh generation of the DAMFAD system, with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) affirming its continued support for the Ministry of Finance and the Public Debt Department. UNCTAD representatives expressed their willingness to provide the necessary training for public debt cadres on the new system, which will contribute to enhancing debt management efficiency and achieving greater financial transparency."

During the conference, the Minister emphasized the importance of modernizing debt management and the commitment to developing financial management mechanisms and enhancing transparency to support economic sustainability.

This event is an important step within the Ministry's strategy to achieve higher financial efficiency, enhance economic stability, and build greater confidence in the national financial system.  link

Tishwash:  A source told Baghdad Today the reason for the stalled oil negotiations between Baghdad and Erbil. 

An informed source reported on Thursday (March 20, 2025) that the meeting between the delegations of the federal government and the Kurdistan Region increased tensions between the two parties, instead of reaching solutions.

The source added to Baghdad Today that "the reason for this is the federal delegation's insistence on handing over management of the central oil fields, which are managed by the regional government."

He pointed out that "the federal authorities insist on handing it over to them, so that the British company BP can invest in it."

He concluded by saying, "During the meeting, it was decided to send specialized technical teams to monitor the progress of work in the fields, audit production volumes, and monitor the quantities being exported by truck."

In turn, the regional government spokesman, Peshwa Hawrami, said, "We have declared since the beginning of the dispute with the federal government that we have nothing to hide regarding financial matters, oil, and other issues."

Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani had previously stated that the contract between the British company and the Iraqi government concerned "disputed areas." 

It's worth noting that the Kurdistan Region of Iraq lost approximately $20 billion in oil revenues as a result of the Iraqi government's victory in a case at the International Court of Justice, which barred Turkey from exporting resources from the Kurdistan Region without first obtaining the approval of the Baghdad government. The ban on exporting resources from the region remains in place to this day. link

Tishwash:  Central Bank: Digital currency reduces cash flow outside banks

On Thursday, March 20, 2025, the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, described digital currency as "limiting the flow of cash outside banks." He also spoke of a plan to establish a data center that would serve as a foundation for digital transformation.

The Iraqi government faces challenges in managing dinar liquidity, as it suffers from a chronic shortage of this currency, affecting its ability to meet its financial obligations to pay employee salaries, repay debts, and finance projects.

Al-Alaq said in a press statement followed by Al-Jabal, "Financial technologies are developing rapidly, in line with the requirements of the financial and banking sector in terms of speed, accuracy, and economic efficiency, in addition to transparency and oversight. The reality of the digital revolution is imposing itself on all sectors, including the financial and banking sector, which stands to benefit most from the major transformations taking place."

 He added, "Digital currency can serve many purposes, limiting the flow of cash outside banks and achieving a high degree of transparency, as funds can be tracked, whether in consumption, investment, savings, or even in legitimate and illegitimate businesses. It also provides important databases for analytical purposes, not just for the movement of paper money. In addition, digital currency offers economies of scale, including the ability to print and track currency."

 Al-Alaq explained, "We have begun taking steps in coordination with international organizations to review initial experiments in the digital currency file, which we do not wish to delay." He noted, "There are existing experiments in some countries in the region, and we are also following up with the Arab Monetary Fund to develop appropriate steps in this direction, and what is required is infrastructure."

 He continued, "The Central Bank possesses advanced infrastructure. The new bank building houses a sophisticated data center, and we are working to establish a data center that will represent a successful foundation for digital transformation."

 The Central Bank of Iraq previously announced its move to issue a digital currency as an alternative to paper currency, a shift that could reshape the payments landscape and the national economy entirely.

 This move comes in response to "increasing challenges in managing traditional cash," amid a global trend toward financial digitization.

 Al-Alaq said, "The financial and banking system will witness fundamental transformations, including the decline of paper currencies and their replacement by digital payments by central banks."

He explained that "the Central Bank is moving to create its own digital currency to gradually replace paper transactions, as is happening at some central banks around the world  link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

JUST IN: PRESIDENT TRUMP DECLARES END TO CRYPTO ‘WAR’

At the Digital Asset Summit 2025, President Donald Trump spoke via video, sharing his vision for the U.S. to lead in the world of crypto and financial technologies. He expressed that while it won’t be easy, the U.S. is already ahead, having hosted the first-ever White House Digital Summit just two weeks ago.

The summit brought together top leaders in the crypto space for discussions led by Crypto Czar David Sachs. Trump also reflected on his recent executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, which will help the government maximize the value of its crypto holdings, unlike the previous administration’s actions.

Trump went on to criticize the past administration’s approach to crypto, particularly its regulatory actions, calling them a misuse of government power. He said that with his leadership, the U.S. is ending this regulatory “war” and promised a more supportive environment for crypto. 

Trump also called on Congress to pass clear, sensible regulations for stablecoins and market structures, which would help boost innovation and investment in the industry.

“We are ending the previous administration’s regulatory war on crypto and Bitcoin, which includes stopping the lawless ‘Operation Chokepoint 2.0.’ This operation went far beyond regulation — it was a form of government weaponization, and frankly, it was a disgrace. But as of January 20, 2025, all of that is over,” he said.

He concluded by expressing excitement about the energy of the crypto community, believing it embodies the spirit that built America, and reaffirming that the future of finance will be led by the U.S.

The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve will hold about 200,000 bitcoins that have been seized by federal agencies. The U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile will include other types of digital assets, also seized through legal processes. 

The Treasury will oversee these assets and decide how to manage or sell them if needed. The goal of this executive order is to centralize and properly manage the country’s digital assets, ensuring their value is maximized.

TRUMP IS TAKING ON THE FED—WITH CRYPTO AS THE TIP OF THE SPEAR

Anticipated moves by President Trump and Senate Republicans appear intent on using crypto policy to achieve a broader goal: ending the Fed’s independence.

As President Donald Trump continues to test the limits of executive authority by reshaping all manner of U.S. government agencies, one such battle appears poised to rope in the cryptocurrency industry: a brewing war against the Federal Reserve and its publicly stated mission to remain independent.

Since the early 1950s, the Fed has enjoyed final say on key decisions related to the American banking system and U.S. monetary policy. Now the Trump administration and its Republican allies in Congress appear intent on taking over some of that decision-making—first and foremost via numerous crypto-related policy initiatives.

As Decrypt reported last week, the White House is planning to soon issue another cryptocurrency-focused executive order that will, among other things, likely direct the Fed to change its policies on withholding coveted master accounts from so-called crypto banks—financial institutions that possess banking licenses but also offer crypto custody services to their clients.

Master accounts, which allow banks to access the Fed’s financial services, are crucial for serving customers at scale. Should crypto banks finally receive such approval, the development would constitute a massive victory for the digital assets industry.

Only the precious few crypto-focused banks that are registered as depository institutions, such as Kraken Financial, a subdivision of the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, and Caitlin Long’s Custodia, would be immediately eligible to receive master accounts.

Master account approvals have, for decades, been the final say of the Fed’s seven-member board of governors. And while those governors are appointed by the president, their decisions have not been openly overridden by the executive branch ever since an informal agreement granted them policy-making independence in 1951, according to the Fed.

Last month, Trump laid the groundwork to begin undoing that understanding by signing an executive order declaring he had the right to dictate the Fed’s policies related to the “supervision and regulation of financial institutions.” That policy category would likely include the Fed’s decision-making related to master accounts.

Trump’s order did make the caveat that the Fed will continue to shape its own “monetary policy” on sensitive matters like interest rates. But efforts are brewing in Washington to undo even the Fed’s monetary policy independence—and once again, those plans run straight through the crypto industry.

Last week, Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) introduced a bill, the Bitcoin Act, that would obligate the U.S. government to buy some $80 billion worth of Bitcoin in an effort to bolster a federal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. That huge sum of crypto would be paid for, chiefly, by a scheme that would compel the Fed to have its Nixon-era gold certificates reissued at market prices.

Because gold has appreciated by some 6,000% in the intervening years, new gold certificates would theoretically be worth hundreds of billions more than the old ones. The Fed would receive these new, more valuable certificates—but then have to immediately fork over $80 billion to the Treasury Secretary to fund Bitcoin purchases.

A Capitol Hill source with direct knowledge of the thinking that went into the Bitcoin Act told Decrypt that no one has yet tried to tap into such a fundraising mechanism because, for decades, legislators and presidents alike have been hesitant to explicitly direct the Fed.

That position has now changed.

“The view [behind the Bitcoin Act] is in line with the president’s, that there’s no such thing as an independent agency,” the source said. “The Federal Reserve can be instructed, especially through legislation.”

The Capitol Hill insider added that Republicans have likely been emboldened in recent years to take a stronger stance on overseeing the policies of ostensibly independent federal agencies because of the perceived politicization of these agencies, exemplified by the alleged political targeting that took place in the anti-crypto “Operation Chokepoint 2.0.”

Trump is by no means the first president to push against the Fed’s independence in the modern era. Presidents from both parties have pressured the Fed to enact or undo certain policies.

In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson went so far as to physically assault then-Fed chair William McChesney Martin over a disagreement about raising interest rates, according to one biographer.

But still, since the 1950s, no president has successfully managed, or meaningfully tried, to rip key decision-making powers back from the Fed’s governors—at least not explicitly.

 Should Trump and his congressional allies keep pressing forward on that goal—and should crypto policy become the tip of that spear—how might the digital assets industry react?

One crypto lobbyist told Decrypt that the Trump administration appears to be using crypto-related policy as a “test case” for reclaiming control over independent agencies.

On one hand, those efforts could unlock crucial victories crypto leaders wouldn’t have dared dream of even a year ago.

On the other hand, the same moves could not only end up in contentious litigation, but also associate the crypto industry—which has tried desperately to avoid political polarization—with a precedent-bucking agenda that is increasingly testing the limits of the U.S. Constitution.

“I can't tell yet if it’s a good thing or a bad thing,” the crypto lobbyist said. “But we’ll take it. Right?”

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

PRESIDENT TRUMP PLEDGES US LEADERSHIP IN CRYPTOCURRENCY AT DIGITAL ASSET SUMMIT

President Donald Trump outlined his administration’s vision for U.S. leadership in cryptocurrency and financial technology during the Digital Asset Summit.

Trump Touts Crypto as Key to U.S. Economic Growth

Addressing the summit’s attendees via video feed, Trump declared his commitment to making America the global center for digital assets.

“Together we will make America, the undisputed bitcoin superpower and the crypto capital of the world,” he stated. He also highlighted the recent White House Digital Asset Summit, where top crypto executives met with White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks.

Trump announced the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve and a U.S. digital asset stockpile, a move aimed at maximizing the government’s holdings. “Instead of foolishly selling them for a fraction of their long-term value, which is exactly what Biden did,” he asserted.

The president also vowed to end what he described as the previous administration’s “regulatory war on crypto,” including halting Operation Choke Point 2.0. “It was a form of lawfare through government weaponization. Frankly, it was a disgrace,” he said, pledging that such policies ended on January 20, 2025.

Trump called on Congress to pass legislation establishing clear regulations for stablecoins and market structure, arguing that a strong legal framework would allow institutions to invest and innovate freely. “You will unleash an explosion of economic growth,” he told the audience.

He concluded by reinforcing his belief that crypto will drive financial innovation in the U.S. “It’s going to be right here in the USA, the good old USA,” he said.

XRP JUST HIT MAJOR MILESTONE WITH FIRST US REGULATED FUTURES

The first-ever regulated XRP futures in the U.S. are live, delivering compliant, physically settled contracts that enhance market integrity and strengthen price discovery.

Regulated XRP Futures Are LIVE in the US

Bitnomial, a U.S.-based digital asset derivatives exchange, has launched the first-ever U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulated futures contract for XRP, the company announced on March 20. The announcement states:

"This marks the first-ever CFTC-regulated XRP futures product in the United States, providing traders with a compliant, transparent, and capital-efficient way to gain exposure to XRP".

The newly introduced XRP US Dollar Myra (XRUY) Futures are designed to enhance market integrity by ensuring contracts are physically settled in actual XRP rather than cash. This approach strengthens price discovery by directly linking derivatives trading to the real supply and demand dynamics of XRP.

Along with the product launch, Bitnomial Exchange, LLC voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which was initially filed in October 2024. The company shared:

"Bitnomial is also pleased to announce that yesterday, Bitnomial Exchange LLC filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of its case against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)."

The lawsuit questioned whether Bitnomial’s XRP futures should be classified as security futures contracts. With the SEC’s evolving stance on crypto assets providing greater clarity, Bitnomial decided to withdraw the case, emphasizing the importance of regulatory certainty for fostering innovation in digital asset markets.

Bitnomial has been broadening its range of physically settled futures, now offering contracts on solana, avalanche, chainlink, bitcoin cash, litecoin, ethereum, polkadot, and hedera. The company detailed:

"Bitnomial’s physically settled futures ensure contracts are delivered in actual XRP upon settlement, distinguishing them from cash-settled alternatives that do not have direct interaction with the underlying asset."

“This structure enhances market integrity and strengthens price discovery by tying derivatives trading directly to XRP’s supply and demand dynamics,” the company added.

 CEO Luke Hoersten highlighted the significance of physically settled contracts in reinforcing market transparency, while President Michael Dunn noted that the introduction of XRP futures solidifies Bitnomial’s role as a leader in regulated crypto derivatives trading.

Bitnomial’s announcement of launching the first CFTC-regulated XRP futures contracts came a day after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed that the SEC is dropping its appeal in the company’s long-running lawsuit over XRP.

Ariel : Why this is a Big Deal for Iraq

We Are Making History: The End of Corruption

Everything Will Be Tracked On Blockchain

What does that mean for you?

1. XRP unleashed. Ripple’s XRP is free from SEC shackles, boosting its credibility as a blockchain bridge for Iraq’s digital dinar, fast-tracking adoption.

2. Gold-Backed Legitimacy. A gold-backed Iraqi stablecoin on XRPL gains trust global markets see it as a real player, not some shaky fiat scam.

3. Parallel Market Gutted. As it should be. Why? Blockchain transparency (like XRPL) tracks every dinar, choking out black-market trades that bleed Iraq’s economy.

4. Corruption in government & banking will be crushed. Immutable ledgers mean no shady officials can cook the books every transaction’s locked, exposed, done.

5. Revaluation rocket launch. A stable, digital dinar tied to gold and blockchain could spike its value investors smell security, not chaos and volatility.

6. The Stablecoin blueprint. Ripple’s win sets a precedent gold-backed stablecoins on XRPL could become the gold standard for other nations.

7. The speed alone kills SWIFT. XRP’s 3-5 second settlements obliterate SWIFT’s days-long lag, making Iraq’s digital dinar a global trade beast.

8. Security will be locked in. Blockchain’s encryption (XRPL’s consensus) shields Iraq’s currency from hacks and fraudstability on steroids.

9. Investor Frenzy: Post-lawsuit, XRP’s surge draws cash to Iraq’s digital pivot revaluation gets a fat war chest.

10. Which means no more middlemen. Direct blockchain transfers cut out corrupt bankers and brokers draining dinar value pure efficiency.

11. This will have global recognition. Ripple’s legal victory signals Iraq’s digital dinar could join the big leaguesgold-backed, blockchain-secured cred.

12. Stablecoin is stability & security along with transparency. XRPL’s proven scalability (1,500+ transactions/sec) means Iraq’s stablecoin won’t crash under pressure rock-solid.

13. The parallel economy dies automatically. Because real-time tracking on blockchain starves out illigal dinar hoarding official rate rules supreme.

14. This is corruption’s endgame people. Smart contracts on XRPL automate payments, no human hands to skim clean system, clean dinar.

15. Iraq’s new era. A revalued, digital, gold-backed dinar on blockchain screams stability war-torn past gets a secure, prosperous future.

Why this is a big deal for Iraq and you as an investor?

Iraq’s parallel market is a shadow economy street hawkers, backroom dealers, and corrupt bankers trading dinars at rates way off the Central Bank of Iraq’s (CBI) official peg.

As of March 2025, the official rate’s stuck at 1,310 IQD per USD, but the streets are slinging it at 1,500-1,600 IQD. That gap’s a $200 billion annual bleed cash siphoned from citizens into the hands of warlords, smugglers, and greasy elites.

How It Frees Iraq:

Inflation’s a b***h prices soar as the real dinar’s gutted by black-market trades.

Foreign reserves drain $70 billion in CBI vaults (Baghdad, Al-Rasheed St, gets swapped for smuggled USD, weakening the dinar’s spine.

Corruption’s king guys like “Haji Qais” (real name Qais al-Khazali, born 1974, militia boss) hoard dinars, manipulate rates, and fund private armies.

This is why it is important for Iraq to adopt a digital currency. And this will give them all the security needed to revalue their currency.

XRPL’s public ledger logs every dinar move timestamp, amount, wallet ID. A corrupt CBI official like “Ali al-Moussawi” (fictional stand-in, real ones exist) can’t skim $5 million to a Dubai account (Emirates NBD, Account without a neon sign flashing his name.

Parallel traders say, a Mosul exchanger can’t dump dinars at 1,600 IQD/USD when the blockchain locks the rate to CBI’s gold-backed 1,310 IQD (or a revalued peg, say 1 IQD = 1 USD). Their hustle’s choked out.

Gold-Backed Muscle. Iraq’s rumored 100-ton gold stash (vault at CBI, Baghdad) backs the digital dinar. One token = X grams of gold, pegged hard. Black-market dinars can’t compete why trade paper trash when blockchain gold’s the real deal? Revaluation spikes could hit 1 IQD = $3 overnight if confidence holds.

Smart contracts on XRPL automate payments oil revenue (Iraq’s $120 billion yearly haul) to citizens, no middlemen. A sheikh in Kirkuk can’t divert $10 million to a Swiss safe (UBS, Account anymore code says “ it’s locked.”

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 20 March 2025

Compiled Thurs. 20 March 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Global Currency Reset:

Wed. 19 March 2025 Wolverine: Gold backed currency has started, got told it started yesterday, so more than likely people are being paid in gold asset backed currency, not fiat.

Hopefully, by the Grace of God we will be celebrating today. Keep an eye on emails. Good that bonds have started. People are getting paid on the bond, happening in Colombia. I have not yet heard from Brazil, and will speak with my Brazilian counterparts to see what they are hearing, and I am sure it will be all good news. Good news from Zurich, like Mike said.

~~~~~~~~~~

Wed. 19 March 2025 Mike Bara: Wolvie was told Columbia is paying out. He’s waiting to hear on Brazil. I have been told Zurich and Reno are paying out. If Reno is paying out, that means Iraq released their codes. If Iraq released their codes, the RV, whatever form it takes, happens within 72 hours (hopefully sooner).

Jen is getting that we should hear overnight. There are lots of connection problems I started getting reports when Wolverine did that things were extremely active in Reno. Exchanging money, money flowing.

Different groups of people from those we were hearing from. Once Reno is paying out, then we are within hours of the Dinar revaluing, but it makes sense in places around that world that are important in the process

. It appears it happening right now. I have been told of people being paid in Zurich, but once Reno is confirmed to be flowing in Reno, we will reval of the Dinar. There is conflicting info that only two currency may be ready Dinar and Vietnam but not sure, we are just being told this. Not sure if this is the way it will happen. I want to tell you to keep in mind, that overnight, we wake up, and the dinar is revalued, and even get the street rate, it will be a blessing for all of us.

Let us not get greedy as all will come to us in time. I have been following this since 2009, and we are as close as we have ever been, but it has never been this exciting. (Listen to audio for complete details).

~~~~~~~~~~

Wed. 19 March 2025 Jen: What we got on Monday is that most paymasters have funds to distribute. They will do so this week. Approximately 90% complete on other tiers.

 I asked what needs to happen to release 4B notifications. We need the release of funds to be complete. I said, “When will they do that?” He said, “Tomorrow” (that is today).

Then, if one person is found, notifications to come out on March 19, 2025, we may be a day off on that. I asked today, and got that there is a very good chance that we could get a change in the rate in Iraq tonight, and wake up to notifications.

 Either that, or tomorrow night. Either way, we have been moving forward. People are getting paid and we are finishing up the other tiers. There is nowhere else to go but up, people. Have everything ready. Keep an eye on your emails as we are right there.

~~~~~~~~~~

Wed. 19 March 2025 Elaina: I have been tracking a lot of pieces of data for money movements and watching various centers of influence. This morning, I observed 30 private aircraft fly into Reno in very quick succession. Between 900am and 945am PST.

What I did miss this morning ….it just a few moments ago was a US Government Learjet that came in at 830am PST. There was also a higher than normal number of private aircraft that arrived into Zurich in the last 24 hours. Seeing this also matches other pieces of information we are seeing and hearing from other countries. This is a very exciting times.

 Based on this… It’s a very safe assessment to share that Tier 4B is about to get notifications. Tier 3 is most likely being 100% finalized full release to push Tier 4B into motion.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Tues. 18 March 2025 Bruce: Three different sources appeared to be in alignment with each other that we should be notified Wed. 19 March, with the 800s coming from Wells Fargo and set our appointments for Thurs. 20 March.

Tues. 18 March 2025 Chase and JP Morgan Bank Screens Show today’s new Dinar and Dong rates. They are still going up in value: Chase & JP Morgan Show IQD $5.23 – Vietnam Dong Soars to $3.89! dinar news today 2025 / RV News

It’s Not a Recession, it’s a Collapse

Taylor Kenny:  3-18-2025

We’ve all heard the whispers, felt the unease. The economy, seemingly robust just months ago, now feels like it’s teetering on the edge. But how can this be?

How can a system that appeared so strong suddenly be so fragile? The truth, often obscured by optimistic pronouncements, lies in the foundation itself. For decades, our financial system has been built on shaky ground: unsustainable debt, reckless spending, and artificial market manipulation.

 Ignoring these warning signs is no longer an option; it’s time to take control of your financial future before it’s too late.

Many choose to ignore these warning signs, hoping for the best. They trust in the system, believing that the “experts” will avert any impending crisis. However, history teaches us that relying solely on external forces is a recipe for disaster. Waiting for the government or financial institutions to solve the problem is a gamble with your future.

The warning signs are clear. While no one can predict the future with certainty, ignoring the underlying weaknesses of our financial system is a dangerous gamble.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Morning 3-20-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

DUBAI LAND DEPARTMENT BEGINS REAL ESTATE TOKENIZATION PROJECT

The Dubai government has started the pilot phase of a project that will convert real estate assets into digital tokens on the blockchain.

The Dubai Land Department (DLD), a government entity responsible for registering, organizing and promoting Dubai real estate, announced that it started the pilot phase of its real-estate tokenization project.

The project was launched in collaboration with the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) and the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), Dubai’s crypto regulator.

The token launch makes the DLD the first real-estate registration entity in the UAE to implement tokenization on property title deeds.

DLD expects the sector to grow $60 billion by 2033

In the announcement, the DLD said the initiative is expected to drive growth in real estate tokenization. The government agency predicts that its market value could reach over $16 billion by 2033. According to the agency, this represents 7% of Dubai’s total real estate transactions.  

DLD Director-General Marwan Ahmed Bin Ghalita said in the announcement that real estate tokenization drives a fundamental change in the sector.

“By converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology, tokenization simplifies and enhances buying, selling, and investment processes,” he said.

The official said this aligns with the DLD’s vision to become a global leader in real estate investment and use technology to develop innovative real estate products.

Tokenization to open up Dubai real estate to global investors

Tokinvest co-founder and CEO Scott Thiel said the initiative is a “transformative moment” for the sector. Thiel told Cointelegraph:

“The initiative not only reinforces Dubai’s leadership in blockchain adoption but also paves the way for a more inclusive, liquid, and efficient real estate market.” 

“Tokenisation is no longer a concept. It’s a reality that will open up Dubai’s real estate market to a global pool of investors like never before,” Thiel told Cointelegraph.

In a previous interview, Thiel told Cointelegraph that the UAE’s proactive regulations paved the way for the country’s real-world asset (RWA) tokenization boom. The executive said there was a genuine desire from government agencies to develop clear guidelines for the sector.

BRICS: ANALYST REVEALS IF THE US DOLLAR CAN MAINTAIN ITS DOMINANCE

The BRICS alliance is looking to uproot the US dollar from the world’s reserve currency position. The bloc wants to put local currencies in the top slot and reduce dependency on the greenback. The power struggle has ignited fresh debates about the use of the USD among developing nations. Eastern nations want to tilt power from the West and usher into a new financial era.

The move will shake the foundation of the US dollar and weaken its dominant position in the currency markets. Local currencies are getting stronger in 2025 as the USD is down against all leading currencies this year as the DXY index fell to the 103.2 mark.

BRICS: The US Dollar Will Maintain Its Dominance

Ashishkumar Chauhan, the Managing Director of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) spoke about the US dollar’s prospects. He spoke at a Singapore panel on capitalism and technology highlighting the importance of geopolitics and the global stock markets. He also touched on the subject of de-dollarization where BRICS aims to replace the US dollar with local currencies.

Chauhan stressed that BRICS cannot shake the foundation of the US dollar and it will remain the dominant currency. “After World War II, the US meticulously positioned itself to replace the British pound as the global reserve currency. Today, no other country is ready to take on that role,” he argued.

He explained that leading currencies like the euro and the pound are not strong enough to stand the whiplash of the markets. The Chinese yuan and the Japanese yen also fold under pressure and cannot challenge the USD. Therefore, no matter how hard BRICS tries its hand in de-dollarization, the US dollar will remain the dominant currency.

$3,000 Gold Is Not The End Of This Story

$3,000 Gold Is Not The End Of This Story

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 17, 2025

On November 1, 2023, just as the price of gold reached its record high price of $2,000 per troy ounce, I clearly stated my position that $2,000 gold was just the beginning.

As usual, my argument was grounded in history. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, US government spending soared thanks to the mounting costs of the Vietnam War coupled with incredibly expensive social initiatives dubbed ‘The Great Society’.

The national debt exploded as a result.

Then, throughout the 1970s, the US suffered an incredibly humiliating withdrawal from Vietnam, complete with a helicopter airlift from the US embassy in Saigon. The Cold War with the Soviet Union was at its peak. Serious trouble brewed with Iran. War broke out in the Middle East.

Civil unrest and ‘mostly peaceful’ protests were also a constant problem in the 1970s, and major cities like New York, LA, and Chicago became synonymous with violent crime.

It was also a time of soaring inflation, weak leadership and political chaos in the US, not to mention rampant criminality in the federal government.

All of this led to a significant loss of confidence in America’s standing on the global stage.

Simply put, the world stopped making sense, and gold became a safe haven from that chaos. That’s why the gold price rose more than 20x over the course of the decade.

When I wrote to you back in late 2023, I described a number of similarities between the 1970s and the 2020s. Chaos and criminality. Weakness and war. Humiliation and inflation. Oh, and that little thing called Covid.

Similarly, the world stopped making sense in the 2020s.

And based on that conclusion, I wrote that $2,000 gold was just the beginning of a much bigger story... and that the price of gold would continue to surge.

It’s not hard to understand why.

Back in late 2023 when I wrote that article, the US national debt was around $33 trillion (it’s up $3+ trillion since then).

The federal government had recently ended its fiscal year (FY23), in which it spent every tax dollar collected just to pay interest on the debt, plus mandatory entitlements like Social Security and Medicare.

100% of US government ‘discretionary’ spending, which includes everything from the military and homeland security, to national parks and federal courts, had to be funded with more debt.

I assumed that this trend of higher spending and higher debt would continue. And it did.

The following year, in FY24, the government spent an unbelievable $1.1 trillion just to pay interest on the national debt— vastly exceeding the defense budget. Plus the FY24 budget deficit increased to more than $1.8 trillion.

So the fiscal situation has only become worse. Not better.

The other issue that I foresaw driving backlash against the dollar was the heavy-handedness of the US government against other nations.

Whenever foreign governments (or even foreign businesses) did things that the US government didn’t like, the Biden administration’s knee-jerk reaction was to impose— or at least threaten— sanctions.

In many respects the only reason that the US government even has the power to sanction other nations is because the dollar is the dominant global reserve currency.

If Costa Rica threatened to sanction other countries, everybody would just laugh... because Costa Rica has no power. But America has enormous power, simply because the rest of the world has to use US dollars for global trade and commerce.

I concluded that, sooner or later, foreign governments would get tired of being pushed around by the US government and start seeking alternatives to the dollar. This is also happening.

One thing that modern history makes very clear is that global monetary regimes tend to reset every few decades.

We can go back to the year 1867 in which the International Monetary Conference in Paris ultimately led to a global gold standard.

This gold standard lasted for a few decades... until World War I broke out. One by one, sovereign governments suspended their gold standards, causing significant disruption to the global monetary regime.

Three decades later, the global financial system was reset at the Bretton Woods Conference which anointed the US dollar as the global reserve currency... on the understanding that the dollar would be backed by gold.

This system lasted for 27 years, when, in 1971, Richard Nixon took the US dollar off the gold standard; this led to a system of “fiat currencies” around the world which were backed by nothing but phony promises from politicians and central bankers.

That system was adjusted once again in the late 1990s in the wake of the Asian financial crisis, and Russia’s sovereign debt default, in which most of the developing world piled into US dollars to hold their reserves. Foreign ownership of US government bonds skyrocketed as a result.

That system has lasted for a few decades— during which period a number of countries (like China) bought up trillions of dollars of US government debt.

Well, we are now witnessing in real time what appears to be another reset in the global financial system. And in some respects, it may even be planned.

The main problems that foreign governments and central banks have against the US dollar— the Treasury Department’s heavy-handedness, the constant threat of sanctions or tariffs, and the unimaginably high levels of debt— are still absolutely present.

And on top of that, this new administration is actively floating what has been dubbed the Mar-A-Lago Accords, i.e. an agreement to force America’s foreign bondholders to reset the financial system.

Just as predicted, all of this uncertainty has been incredibly bullish for gold— primarily because foreign governments and central banks are aggressively seeking an alternative to the US dollar.

At the moment, nobody really knows what the next global financial system will be.

Personally I don’t think the dollar is going to disappear as a reserve currency. But “King Dollar” probably won’t dominate the world— instead perhaps it will be “Earl Dollar” or “Viscount Dollar”, in a mix with other currencies.

No one knows for sure. And that’s why central bankers have been buying gold— because it’s the only asset in which they can have complete confidence. No matter what the new global financial system looks like, gold will continue to have value.

It has been those central banks buying up gold (literally by the metric ton) and pushing prices to record highs.

We said in November 2023 that $2,000 was just the beginning. We’ve just hit $3,000 gold.

Tishwash:  Oil exports from Kurdistan Region set to resume next week, confirms Iraqi parliament official

Speaking at a press conference, Halbousi highlighted the progress made in recent discussions, emphasizing that key amendments to the budget law and agreements on export routes through the port of Ceyhan are well underway.

In a significant development for Iraq’s energy sector, Haibat Halbousi, chairman of the Iraqi parliament's oil and gas committee, announced on Wednesday that oil exports from the Kurdistan Region will officially resume next week.

Speaking at a press conference, Halbousi highlighted the progress made in recent discussions, emphasizing that key amendments to the budget law and agreements on export routes through the port of Ceyhan are well underway.

“Our meeting focused on amending the budget law and the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region through the port of Ceyhan. We will meet with the delegation next week,” he stated.

Officials from the Ministry of Oil, the State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO), and the North Oil Company also confirmed the details, signaling a concrete step toward restoring oil exports from the region.

The Iraqi parliament convened on Wednesday to finalize the necessary measures, underscoring a collective commitment to economic stability and strengthening cooperation between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government.

The long-anticipated resumption of oil exports is expected to bring positive economic impacts, reinforcing Iraq’s role as a key player in global energy markets. link

Tishwash:  Is the Kurdistan Region turning into a "money exchange" for money smuggled to neighboring countries?

Economic expert Farman Hussein commented on Wednesday (March 19, 2025) on the possibility that the Kurdistan Region could become a "money exchange" for funds smuggled to certain countries, such as Iran, in light of the increasing US economic sanctions on the latter.

"All banks and money transfer companies in the region are currently under the control of the Central Bank of Iraq and linked to the electronic platform, so smuggling from the region is impossible," Hussein told Baghdad Today.

He added, "Kurdistan's banks cannot be a reliable alternative to Iraqi banks, which are subject to US sanctions. These banks are affiliated with political figures and most are dubious and vulnerable to bankruptcy, closure, and sanctions." He emphasized that these banks are not reliable for safekeeping funds.

He pointed out that "smuggling hard currency from the region's banks is difficult, as they, too, are subject to the electronic platform, and money can only be transferred and smuggled to any country through a complex process."

He pointed out that "public money thieves in the region suffer from their inability to transfer funds abroad, forcing them to invest the money in housing projects, commercial buildings, and gas stations instead of depositing it in banks."

The Trump administration has reimposed a "maximum pressure" policy on Iran.  The US government says it "seeks to isolate Iran from the global economy and cut off its oil export revenues in order to slow Tehran's development of a nuclear weapon."

Iraq, in turn, was affected by Washington's decision to refuse to renew the temporary waiver granted to Baghdad to purchase gas and electricity from Iran, amid concerns that the Iraqi banking system could be subject to US sanctions.  link
