USA No Longer Default Market: BRICS Attracts Global CapitalBy Watcher Guru | June 2025 Global capital is shifting. The U.S. is losing its traditional grip as the world’s default investment hub, with institutional funds now flowing steadily toward BRICS nations. As the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) dropped to the 96 range early Thursday, a report from Bank of America revealed that exposure to dollar-based assets is at its lowest level since 2005.

USA No Longer Default Market: BRICS Attracts Global Capital
By Watcher Guru | June 2025

Global capital is shifting. The U.S. is losing its traditional grip as the world’s default investment hub, with institutional funds now flowing steadily toward BRICS nations. As the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) dropped to the 96 range early Thursday, a report from Bank of America revealed that exposure to dollar-based assets is at its lowest level since 2005.

BRICS Rising: Global Investors Shift Capital South

▪️ Countries like China, India, Brazil, and South Africa are now attracting capital once destined for the U.S.
▪️ The U.S. dollar's weakening position is making assets in the global south more appealing, especially in the face of recent Trump-imposed tariffs.
▪️ Investors are eyeing early-stage growth in BRICS nations, seeking better returns than U.S. Treasuries or bonds.

The global investment spotlight has moved to the BRICS bloc, where developing markets are benefiting from macro shifts—especially amid growing skepticism toward U.S. monetary dominance.

USA Still Leads, But BRICS Is Catching Up

▪️ The U.S. remains the strongest financial player, but institutional clients are now diversifying away from dollar dominance.
▪️ In 2025, for the first time in two decades, major global investors “went all-in” on non-U.S. assets.

This trend marks a major inflection point in financial history—particularly as China and India move to internationalize the yuan and rupee, respectively.

China alone has drawn $17 billion in foreign inflows, capitalizing on the dollar’s weakening global influence.

The De-Dollarization Era Has Momentum

The de-dollarization movement continues to accelerate as BRICS expands both its economic influence and financial ecosystems.

▪️ BRICS+ aims to solidify a multipolar financial world, weakening the U.S. dollar’s role as the sole reserve currency.
▪️ Dozens of countries, including allies and neutral states, are now watching BRICS as a credible financial alternative.

Unless addressed, this trend could reshape the world’s financial order over the next two decades, and further dilute U.S. influence in global markets.

“The White House needs to act swiftly to maintain leadership on the global financial curve,” the article concludes.

IT IS NOT STOPPING! This Is The Biggest Bullish News I've Heard From The BRICS Ever - Andy Schectman

IT IS NOT STOPPING! This Is The Biggest Bullish News I've Heard From The BRICS Ever - Andy Schectman

HTZ CAP:  6-29-2025

The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and WGC had partnered to develop and implement an international system of gold bar integrity (GBI).

The GBI programme aims to put all legitimate gold onto an immutable blockchain-based database where buyers will be able to clearly see that the investment bar, coin, and – when technology allows – jewellery they purchase was resourced responsibly, refined reputably, and only passed through the hands of legitimate actors.

HTZ CAP:  6-29-2025

The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and WGC had partnered to develop and implement an international system of gold bar integrity (GBI).

The GBI programme aims to put all legitimate gold onto an immutable blockchain-based database where buyers will be able to clearly see that the investment bar, coin, and – when technology allows – jewellery they purchase was resourced responsibly, refined reputably, and only passed through the hands of legitimate actors.

Andy Schectman, president of Miles Franklin, remains decidedly bullish on both gold and silver. In recent commentary, he argues that the ongoing accumulation by major players and strong demand for physical metal signal a continued upward trajectory, irrespective of short-term price fluctuations.

Schectman highlights the Ripple effect of developments within the BRICS bloc, especially the launch of new gold settlement platforms via the Shanghai Gold Exchange in Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia—a clear indicator of a global shift toward bullion as a trusted reserve.

 Schectman sees the first week of July as a pivotal moment for the future of BRICS: this is when several member nations are expected to reveal concrete plans for gold and silver integration into their financial systems.

Referencing his chart analysis—particularly the recent technical breakout in silver—he suggests that these developments could catalyse a powerful price surge in both metals, reinforcing the shift away from dollar dominance .

 In his view, investors should closely monitor early July announcements as they may mark the start of a new phase in the global gold‑silver bull market.

The Old Pretender: Is this all Coming to a Head in July?

6-29-2025

If something big is scheduled to come out of the BRICS summit next week, it will be a lot harder for the west and western MSM to focus blame on Russia and China, without Putin or Xi attending in person.

CGTN Africa:  Nigerian President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja on Saturday for a state visit to Saint Lucia, before proceeding to Brazil where he will attend the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro from July 6-7.

This is interesting: “Although the summit formally begins on July 6, key encounters among central bank heads and finance ministers will already be taking place on July 4 and 5”.

And I find it potentially interesting that the Fed has organised a big US banking conference for July 22 (soon after the BRICS summit), at which Basel III implementation will be discussed, once the outcome of the BRICS summit is both known and analysed.

With Trump saying yesterday that the US government will not issue any debt beyond 9 months, is this all coming to a head in July?

Senate Passes Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” With 51–49 Vote By Coinpedia | June 2025

In a dramatic late-night session, the U.S. Senate narrowly approved President Donald Trump’s signature tax and spending legislation—dubbed the “Big, Beautiful Bill”—by a razor-thin 51–49 margin.

Senate Passes Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” With 51–49 Vote
By Coinpedia | June 2025

In a dramatic late-night session, the U.S. Senate narrowly approved President Donald Trump’s signature tax and spending legislation—dubbed the “Big, Beautiful Bill”—by a razor-thin 51–49 margin. The bill marks a cornerstone of Trump’s second-term agenda, with sweeping implications for tax policy, defense, energy, healthcare, and even cryptocurrency regulation.

Two GOP Senators Break Ranks

The bill passed with only two Republican senators—Thom Tillis and Rand Paul—voting against it, citing concerns over spending levels and government overreach.

Vice President JD Vance was on standby to cast a tie-breaking vote, though his intervention wasn’t needed. The tight margin highlights growing intra-party divides, even as Trump’s influence over the GOP remains strong.

On Truth Social, Trump criticized Senator Tillis and vowed to back a primary challenger in 2026, signaling an ongoing campaign to reshape the Republican Party around his core policy objectives.

What’s in Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill”?

The wide-reaching legislation includes several hallmark provisions:

  • ✅ Permanent extension of the 2017 tax cuts

  • ✅ Elimination of taxes on tips and overtime pay

  • ✅ $150 billion in new defense and border security funding

  • ✅ $5 trillion increase to the federal debt ceiling

  • ✅ Cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, with a new $25 billion rural Medicaid fund (2028–2032)

  • ✅ Repeal of green energy tax credits

  • ✅ Phase-out of SALT (State and Local Tax) deductions

  • ✅ Sale of 1.2 million acres of federal land

The mix of tax relief, spending boosts, and entitlement cuts has generated both praise from fiscal conservatives and criticism from progressive lawmakers.

Crypto Regulation Tied to Legislative Package

One of the bill’s more consequential side developments could soon affect U.S. crypto markets.

A proposed merger of the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act—two major crypto bills currently in progress—has gained new traction in the House of Representatives. These bills aim to establish a stablecoin framework (GENIUS Act) and market structure clarity for digital assets (CLARITY Act).

“This could be the most important moment for U.S. crypto policy since the SEC’s early actions,” said one policy analyst tracking the legislation.

House leadership is reportedly considering packaging the crypto bills together to ensure passage before the August recess, possibly delivering a major win for President Trump’s pro-crypto agenda.

Looking Ahead

With the Senate now on board, the bill heads to the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold a majority. If passed, it could lead to one of the most significant fiscal overhauls in recent U.S. history—and potentially reshape the global view of America’s crypto leadership.

Ripple Co-Founder Chris Larsen Claims XRP Is a ‘Better Bitcoin’
By Crypto News Flash | June 2025

Ripple’s co-founder Chris Larsen has reignited the long-standing debate in the crypto community by claiming that XRP was designed to outclass Bitcoin in core metrics such as speedefficiency, and energy usage.

Speaking on the “When Shift Happens” podcast, Larsen praised Bitcoin’s foundational role while insisting that XRP was engineered to be a next-generation improvement over it.

XRP: Built to Surpass Bitcoin

▪️ XRP was developed with the specific intent of improving upon Bitcoin’s transaction speedcost-effectiveness, and environmental footprint.

▪️ Larsen noted that XRP’s architecture came from a team of “really, really smart people” and was intended to be more efficient without losing the decentralization ethos of blockchain technology.

“We wanted to build a system that addressed Bitcoin’s limitations—faster settlement, lower energy, and long-term scalability,” Larsen explained.

He admitted that XRP still has limitations, but stressed that its core value has remained intact through consistent development and community support.

Criticism of Stellar and Ethereum

Larsen took aim at Stellar Lumens, co-founded by former Ripple executive Jed McCaleb, accusing the project of lacking direction and predictability.

▪️ He referenced McCaleb’s 50% token burn and a history of “constant changes, airdrops, and impulsive pivots” as a red flag for institutional trust.

▪️ “Successful currencies are built on stability, not sudden directional shifts,” Larsen remarked.

On Ethereum, Larsen questioned the long-term dedication of its community, implying it lacks the consistent loyalty seen among XRP and Bitcoin holders.

Will Ripple Go Public? ‘Not Yet,’ Says Larsen

While many in the industry speculate about Ripple's IPO potential, Larsen pushed back on the idea—citing the bureaucratic red tape and short-term market manipulation by misinformed retail sellers.

▪️ Ripple President Monica Long also echoed this sentiment recently, saying the company doesn’t need external capital and is focused on strategic acquisitions instead.

▪️ Ripple’s latest purchase of prime brokerage firm Hidden Road for $1.25 billion further confirms that strategy.

Analysts: XRP Price Could Surge

The comparison between XRP and Bitcoin is being mirrored by top analysts:

  • Charles Shrem predicts Bitcoin’s dominance is being actively challenged.

  • Edoardo Farina, founder of Alpha Lions Academy, believes XRP’s growth trajectory is more realistic than Bitcoin’s.

  • Dustin Layton estimates a 23x return is possible, projecting XRP could hit $52 by year-end.

  • Zach Rector places a nearer-term target at $15.

“You’d have to be insane to think Bitcoin at $106K is a better investment than XRP,” Farina claimed.

As the SEC case nears closure and Ripple refocuses on global expansion, the firm appears poised to position XRP not only as a better Bitcoin in function—but perhaps soon, in adoption and valuation.

“Tidbits From TNT” Sunday Morning 6-29-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Stay tuned... an expanded meeting will be held tomorrow in Baghdad to discuss the re-export of the region's oil.

Iraqi parliament member Sherwan Dubardani confirmed on Saturday that a delegation from the Kurdistan Region, headed by the Minister of Natural Resources, had arrived in Baghdad. He explained that the capital would host an expanded meeting tomorrow between the Kurdistan delegation and the federal government to discuss the re-export of the region's oil.

"The Kurdish delegation is currently holding a meeting, and an expanded meeting between Erbil and Baghdad is expected to be held tonight or tomorrow, Sunday, to discuss the region's oil file," Dubardani said in a statement monitored by Al-Masry.

Kurdish media outlets quoted political sources regarding the upcoming meeting, stating that it will include Deputy Prime Minister Fuad Hussein, the Iraqi Oil Minister, a representative from the Iraqi State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO), the Kurdistan Regional Government's Minister of Natural Resources, and a delegation from the region heading to Baghdad.

She pointed out that "a joint statement on the outcomes of the meeting is expected to be issued after its conclusion."  link

Tishwash:  Sharp fluctuations in the value of the Iranian currency amid regional tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv.

Iranian markets have witnessed sharp fluctuations in the Iranian toman's exchange rate over the past few days, directly influenced by the escalating geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel. The US dollar's exchange rate against the toman reached 9 million tomans at the height of talk of a possible direct war, after it had been expected to reach 10 million.

But with signs of calm and de-escalation between the two sides, the value of the toman has risen again, amidst a state of uncertainty that has gripped the market.

Decrease in trading volume and warnings against risk

"We sold the dollar for 7.6 million dinars, but we didn't buy back because of the price fluctuations," Kawa Yahya, an exchange office owner, told a Kurdistan 24 reporter. "The price had risen to 9 million tomans this morning due to the escalation, but later dropped to 7 million, which represents a difference of nearly 2 million in a very short period."

Money changers confirmed that toman banknotes are becoming less available in the market, and that daily trading volume has fallen to approximately 60% compared to previous levels.

Conditional optimism and expectations of more volatility

For his part, Shawan Muhammad, an exchange office owner, said, "After the calm, the toman began to regain some of its value, but its fate remains uncertain. There is talk of an impending agreement between the United States and Iran, and if it actually materializes, the toman will regain its strength. So far, Tehran has not conceded its interests, so we expect the market to remain volatile."

Observers believe that any new security or political unrest among the countries of the region would immediately impact the toman's exchange rate and trading volume in the Iranian market.

Despite the lack of stability, approximately 10 billion tomans are still traded daily, a source of concern for traders who face significant financial risks amid the lack of clear guarantees regarding the future of the Iranian currency.   link

Tishwash:  An economist warns of the continued dominance of the dollar in Iraqi-Chinese trade.

Data from the Chinese Customs Authority showed a significant increase in the value of Chinese exports to Iraq during the first five months of 2025, increasing by 9.5% compared to the same period in 2024. The value of these exports reached $7.4 billion, compared to $6.77 billion during the same period last year, according to a report by economic expert Manar Al-Obaidi.

Al-Abidi explained that this growth is driven by increased exports from a number of sectors, most notably:

Electrical and mechanical appliances : accounted for 24% of total exports and achieved a growth rate of 11.46%.

Electronics : represented 15% of exports and increased by 29.3%.

Clothing : accounted for 7.6% of total exports and increased by 21%.

Cars and spare parts : Its share reached 7.2% and recorded the highest growth rate of 35%.

In contrast, Iraqi exports to China declined by 5.77% during the same period, reaching $15.2 billion compared to $16.14 billion in 2024, and are almost entirely limited to petroleum products.

Despite the decline, the trade balance between the two countries remains in Iraq's favor, with a trade surplus of $7.7 billion during the first five months of 2025, down from $9.37 billion during the same period the previous year.

Al-Obaidi pointed out that "this surplus remains fragile, as it is almost entirely tied to Iraq's oil exports to China in terms of quantity and price. Any decline in the value or volume of these exports could lead to a shrinkage of the surplus or its transformation into a deficit, which necessitates diversifying Iraq's export base by boosting exports of raw materials and local goods."

Although annual trade between Iraq and China exceeds $54 billion, financial transactions between the two sides continue to be conducted in the US dollar, whether for oil sales or imports.

Al-Obaidi called for "the establishment of a direct financial and trade exchange platform between Iraq and China, similar to what other countries have done, such as the recent agreement between China and Turkey to adopt local currencies in trade exchanges."

He promised that "reducing dependence on the dollar represents a strategic step towards enhancing financial independence and increasing the effectiveness of bilateral trade."

It should be noted that this data represents direct Chinese exports to Iraq and does not include goods exported to other countries, particularly the UAE, and then re-exported to the Iraqi market.  link

Hundreds of Indicators Pointing to a Global Recession

Hundreds of Indicators Pointing to a Global Recession

Commodity Culture:  6-28-2025

Renowned financial analyst Henrik Zeberg recently joined Jesse Day on Commodity Culture to deliver a stark warning about the global economic outlook.

 In a compelling discussion, Zeberg asserts that a global recession is not just a possibility, but an unavoidable certainty, culminating in a deflationary bust that most market participants will fail to anticipate.

Hundreds of Indicators Pointing to a Global Recession

Commodity Culture:  6-28-2025

Renowned financial analyst Henrik Zeberg recently joined Jesse Day on Commodity Culture to deliver a stark warning about the global economic outlook.

 In a compelling discussion, Zeberg asserts that a global recession is not just a possibility, but an unavoidable certainty, culminating in a deflationary bust that most market participants will fail to anticipate.

Central to Zeberg’s thesis is the prediction of an imminent “blow-off top” in the broad market. This euphoric, final surge, he argues, will precede a dramatic and unexpected deflationary downturn. Zeberg meticulously outlined the specific indicators he is closely monitoring that underpin this contrarian view, suggesting that the current economic trajectory is far more precarious than widely acknowledged.

The “deflationary bust” is highlighted as a particularly insidious threat, precisely because its arrival is expected to blindside the majority of investors and policymakers.

Beyond the broader market, Zeberg also provided his detailed outlook on the future of gold and gold mining stocks, offering insights into their potential performance in a rapidly shifting economic landscape. The discussion further delved into the potential ripple effects of former President Trump’s tariff policies, analyzing how they might impact global trade and economic stability.

Perhaps one of the most memorable moments of the conversation was Zeberg’s candid assessment of the US dollar’s standing in the current global financial landscape, famously asking whether it remains “the prettiest mare at the glue factory of fiat currencies.”

This provocative statement encapsulates his skepticism about the long-term strength of the world’s reserve currency amidst unprecedented monetary policies.

Zeberg’s comprehensive analysis offers a compelling, albeit unsettling, counter-narrative to much of the prevailing market optimism. For investors and individuals keen to understand the full scope of Zeberg’s predictions, including the specific indicators and his nuanced arguments, the full video discussion on Commodity Culture provides invaluable insights.

 It’s a critical watch for anyone looking to navigate the challenging economic waters ahead with a more informed perspective.

Serbia Confirms Strong Interest in Joining BRICS at 2025 Summit By Watcher.Guru | June 2025

Serbia Confirms Strong Interest in Joining BRICS at 2025 Summit
By Watcher.Guru | June 2025

As the 17th BRICS Summit approaches, Serbia has officially reaffirmed its intention to join the expanding BRICS alliance. The summit will take place on July 6–7 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and could mark a pivotal moment for the bloc’s next wave of expansion.

Serbian Prime Minister: “It Is of Strategic Interest”

Serbian Prime Minister Duro Macut made the country’s position clear, stating that:

“We consistently advocate the need to deepen cooperation with our traditional partners and friends. The BRICS countries are the most important players on the world stage, and the development of strong, mutually beneficial relations with them is of a strategic interest to us.”

Serbia formally submitted its application to join BRICS in 2023, when the alliance last opened its doors for expansion.

BRICS Expansion: Who’s In—and Who’s Waiting

In 2024, BRICS added 13 new “Partner Countries”, including:

Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.

While Serbia was not included in that group, it remains among the 23 countries that have formally applied to join the bloc. An additional 22 countries have expressed informal interest, reflecting the growing global momentum around BRICS.

Balancing BRICS and the EU

In a noteworthy diplomatic move, PM Macut also reiterated Serbia’s parallel ambition to join the European Union:

“Serbia continues its path towards membership in the European Union,” he stated in a recent interview with foreign media.

Serbia continues to navigate complex post-Yugoslav geopolitics, including past sanctions, while seeking stronger ties with both Eastern and Western alliances.

Decision Expected in July—But Not Guaranteed

Whether Serbia will be invited to join BRICS will likely be decided during the July summit in Brazil. The BRICS expansion process is consensus-driven, meaning all existing member states must agree to admit new countries.

A key question remains: What value can Serbia bring to BRICS that strengthens the bloc's collective influence?

As the BRICS alliance seeks to redefine the global geopolitical landscape—especially amid rising tensions with Western institutions—Serbia's bid could serve as a strategic pivot between Europe and the multipolar order BRICS envisions.

EBS & Ten Days of Darkness…(allegedly) Ben Fulford on Telegram

The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is moving. It’s not just a financial reset; it’s the end of the Cabal’s control over money. People are finding out about secret bank accounts, offshore havens, and illegal wealth.

The world is moving to a new credit-based system that will end debt slavery. As a result, trillions of dollars in assets are being taken. Picture this: you wake up and all of your debts—mortgages, student loans, and credit cards—are gone. This isn’t just a guess; it’s happening right now

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

Nothing remains to be done. The bank screens were blank this morning, then flickering later in the day. They (banks) thought that was a good sign. A bond holder was paid 100 million dollars. We should be going very soon.

A High Up Source’s opinion was that Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) would be notified to set redemption appointments sometime between Fri. 27 June and Mon. 30 June.

Fri. 27 June 2025 Capathia: From a great friend who lives close to where the “planes fly in”: Someone has now received spendable funds, that persons group is very happy, and they, too, have heard we could perhaps receive what we are waiting for into tonight or tomorrow Sat. 28 June.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:   World Bank is talking on TV right now Channel One saying this development road project will bring so much more trade to Iraq.  They are backing Iraq with $300 million.  Why would they invest in something like 1310?

Sandy Ingram  Iraq is about to pull off something huge.  The World Bank just approved a whopping $930 million loan to overhaul Iraq's railways, a move that could reshape not just the country but the whole region...This isn't just about trains.  This is Iraq's shot at becoming the main gateway between the Gulf and Europe.  They call it the southern corridor.  Some of us may know it as the Development Road Project.  Think of it as a super highway for both cargo and people...This puts the country on the make as a key trade link between continents...Construction kicks off soon...

Crypto Momentum Builds: US House Passes Landmark Bill to Boost Blockchain Adoption By Bitcoinist | June 2025

Crypto Momentum Builds: US House Passes Landmark Bill to Boost Blockchain Adoption
By Bitcoinist | June 2025

In a bipartisan push to strengthen U.S. competitiveness and innovation, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed new legislation aimed at accelerating the adoption of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) across public and private sectors.

Blockchain Promotion Bill Clears the House

On Thursday, policy platform Bitcoin Laws reported that the House approved HR 1664 — the Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025. This bill directs the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to lead national efforts in advancing blockchain use cases and ensuring U.S. leadership in this strategic technology.

Originally introduced in February by Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) and co-sponsored by Rep. Darren Soto (D-FL), HR 1664 outlines the creation of a Blockchain Deployment Program. The program is tasked with:

  • Developing best practices for blockchain integration

  • Advising the President on blockchain deployment and competitiveness

  • Promoting national security and economic interests through secure DLT use

  • Coordinating across federal agencies to provide unified support for blockchain adoption

“This is a forward-thinking bill that places blockchain on the national agenda as a tool for innovation, transparency, and strategic advantage,” said Rep. Cammack during committee discussions.

Advisory Committees and National Oversight

If enacted, the legislation mandates the formation of advisory committees within 180 days to assist in blockchain adoption strategy. These bodies will help shape regulatory, technical, and economic guidance for implementation across industries.

Senate Takes Up Crypto Legislation

The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration, continuing what many see as a wave of legislative momentum around digital assets. HR 1664 follows on the heels of two major crypto-related efforts:

  • The GENIUS Act, a bill focused on stablecoin regulation, which recently cleared the Senate

  • The CLARITY Act, the House’s crypto market structure bill, which advanced through committee markups

Although discussions continue about merging GENIUS and CLARITY, some lawmakers prefer to keep them separate for strategic passage.

White House Crypto & AI Czar David Sacks summarized the expected timeline:
“July will be a big month — with a bill signing for GENIUS and CLARITY going to the Senate!”

A New Legislative Roadmap for Crypto in America

According to Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott, lawmakers are now targeting a markup in early September and final passage by September 30, staying ahead of the August recess.

With President Donald Trump voicing support for both GENIUS and CLARITY, the stage is set for a landmark summer in U.S. crypto policy.

“President Trump supports CLARITY on market structure as well as GENIUS on stablecoins,” said Sacks, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to crypto innovation.

Ripple Ends Legal Fight With SEC: “We’re Closing This Chapter Once and for All,” Says CEO
By The Block | June 2025

In a significant development for the crypto industry, Ripple Labs is officially ending its years-long legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The decision, announced Friday by CEO Brad Garlinghouse, marks a definitive conclusion to one of the longest and most closely watched regulatory disputes in crypto.

Ripple Drops Cross-Appeal in SEC Lawsuit

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Garlinghouse stated:

“We’re closing this chapter once and for all, and focusing on what’s most important – building the Internet of Value. Lock in.”

Garlinghouse confirmed that Ripple is dropping its cross-appeal, which would have challenged separate elements of the court’s decision. A cross-appeal allows a party to contest different parts of a ruling not addressed in the original appeal.

Background: Ripple’s $1.3 Billion SEC Battle

The case began in 2020, when the SEC accused Ripple of conducting an unregistered securities offering by selling $1.3 billion worth of XRP. The commission claimed that XRP was a security under U.S. law.

In a landmark 2023 ruling, Judge Analisa Torres of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a mixed decision:

  • Programmatic XRP sales on exchanges did not violate securities laws, due to the blind bid/ask process.

  • Direct institutional sales did constitute securities transactions, exposing Ripple to penalties.

This second finding led to a $125 million civil penalty against the company.

Ripple and SEC Motion Rejected by Judge Torres

Garlinghouse’s announcement came one day after Judge Torres rejected a joint motion from Ripple and the SEC to modify the existing injunction. The two parties had requested a ruling to:

  • Dissolve the existing injunction

  • Allow $50 million of the $75 million penalty to be paid to the SEC

  • Allocate $25 million to Ripple as part of the resolution

The court denied the motion, maintaining its previous rulings.

Ripple Moves On From Legal Saga

Though Ripple had already stated back in March that it would not pursue a cross-appeal, Friday’s statement puts an official capstone on the case. A Ripple spokesperson declined to comment further.

The conclusion of this legal chapter may allow Ripple to re-focus its resources on international expansion and XRP Ledger development, free of the uncertainty that has loomed over the company since 2020.

With the cross-appeal dropped, Ripple now stands fully compliant with the court’s rulings and regulatory penalties, potentially setting a new precedent for future crypto-related enforcement actions.

“Tidbits From TNT” Saturday Morning 6-28-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  An imminent agreement between Erbil and Baghdad to resume the region's oil exports and settle employee salaries - Urgent

Member of Parliament, Shwan Muhammad, said on Friday (June 27, 2025) that a comprehensive agreement between Baghdad and Erbil is likely to be reached soon, re-exporting Kurdistan's oil through SOMO and providing a solution to the months-long employee salary crisis.

Mohammed said in a press statement followed by "Baghdad Today" that "the agreement includes exporting the region's oil through the National Marketing Organization (SOMO), with the federal Ministry of Finance responsible for paying the dues of the operating oil companies, while providing guarantees that no obstacles will be placed in the way of the process."

Tishwash:  An imminent agreement between Erbil and Baghdad to resume the region's oil exports and settle employee salaries - Urgent

Member of Parliament, Shwan Muhammad, said on Friday (June 27, 2025) that a comprehensive agreement between Baghdad and Erbil is likely to be reached soon, re-exporting Kurdistan's oil through SOMO and providing a solution to the months-long employee salary crisis.

The Kurdish MP explained that "the success of this agreement will have a direct impact on the salaries issue and pave the way for resolving the outstanding financial disputes between the two parties."

As the elections approach, Iraqi parties are preparing for internal and external challenges that require resolving disputes and strengthening the economic front. This is particularly true in light of declining oil exports and increasing international pressure on the federal government to ensure transparency in resource management. Meanwhile, Kurdish demands are escalating to end what has been described as the "collective punishment" policy of the region's employees through salary delays.  link

************

Tishwash:  Sherwan Dobardani: Erbil and Baghdad have reached an agreement and it must be adhered to.

 A delegation from the federal government arrived in Erbil on Thursday, June 26, 2025, and began its meetings with a delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government at 5:00 PM, MP Sherwan Dubardani said.

The two sides reached good results and an agreement on resuming Kurdistan oil exports, he added.

"Erbil and Baghdad have reached an agreement to resume the export of Kurdistan Region's oil, and the agreement must be adhered to," Sherwan Dubardani, a member of the Iraqi parliament representing the Kurdistan Democratic Party, told Kurdistan 24 on Friday, June 27, 2025. He added, "A delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government will meet with oil companies next week."

Dubardani added, "The Kurdistan Regional Government must abide by the law we voted on in the House of Representatives, and Baghdad must abide by the same law. Companies that signed contracts with the regional government have legal contracts according to the same law."

He pointed out that "there is no excuse for the federal government not to abide by the agreements because the Kurdistan Regional Government is prepared to implement the law enacted by the Council of Representatives, which is to pay 50% of the financial revenues to the federal government."

He explained that Iraqi political parties accuse the Kurdistan Regional Government of non-compliance and use slogans against the KRG because they have not delivered anything for their constituents in their provinces. Especially since parliamentary elections are due to be held soon in Iraq, they are using these slogans as political leverage.   link

Tishwash:  Erdogan: We will transform geopolitical potential into economic advantage through a "development path" extending from Iraq to Türkiye and on to Europe.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that his country will work to transform geopolitical potential into an economic advantage through the "Development Road" project extending from Iraq to Turkey and reaching Europe.

Speaking at the Global Transport Corridors Forum held at the Istanbul Congress Center on Friday, Erdoğan expressed his happiness at his country hosting this forum at a critical time witnessing the reshaping of the global trade route, as well as at hosting representatives from 70 countries in Turkey as part of the forum's activities.

He said: "We hope that the forum participants will have the opportunity to discuss many issues, such as cross-border cooperation opportunities, digital transformation steps, infrastructure investments, and the harmonization of transit transport operations, within the framework of the forum."

He stressed that the forum will be an important platform that showcases Turkey's vision and leadership capacity in the field of transportation to the entire world, rather than just an international meeting.

Erdoğan explained that the "Development Road" impact on production will exceed $50 billion within 10 years and is expected to provide an average of 63,000 job opportunities annually.

The Turkish president indicated that geopolitical potential will be transformed into a comprehensive economic advantage that will benefit the entire region through the "Development Road" project.

He explained that the "Development Road" is a land and railway route extending from Iraq to Turkey and its ports, extending 1,200 kilometers within Iraq, and aims to transport goods between Europe and the Gulf states.

Erdoğan noted that tensions in the Middle East and the uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and airspace "reminded us of the importance of safe transport corridors," emphasizing that the importance of logistics lines that facilitate the movement of people and goods in the global economy is growing day by day.

He said, "This approach is the primary motivation behind Turkey's massive investments in land, air, and sea routes, as well as telecommunications and energy lines, particularly over the past 22 years."

He added, "Under our governments, we have invested nearly $300 billion in transportation and communications infrastructure."

He explained that $177 billion of this was spent on highways, $64 billion on railways, $25 billion on airlines, $4 billion on maritime transport, and $25 billion on communications infrastructure.

He added, "The impact of these investments on production has reached $1.65 trillion." Thanks to our investments in transportation, we have also achieved significant increases in employment, and many sectors, from industry to exports, from tourism to logistics, have been positively impacted by these investments."

During his speech, Erdoğan touched on the "Middle Corridor," noting that he expects the trade volume in the Middle Corridor, the railway linking Europe to Asia via Turkey, to reach $75 billion.

Erdoğan explained that the Middle Corridor extends from China to Europe and connects 21 countries via a railway network. It offers transportation twice as fast as maritime routes and nearly four times more economical than air routes.

He pointed out that this project represents a revival of the historic Silk Road, emphasizing the operationalization of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway line, which forms the backbone of the Middle Corridor.

"Alongside all these initiatives, our efforts continue to align the Middle Corridor with the Belt and Road Initiative implemented by the People's Republic of China," Erdoğan continued.

The Middle Corridor is an alternative to the Northern Corridor linking China and Europe. It runs from Turkey to the Caucasus region, then crosses the Caspian Sea to Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, reaching China.

The Middle Corridor is one of three global trade corridors from China to Europe, the first being the Northern Corridor via Russia, the Southern Corridor via Iran, and the Maritime Corridor via the Suez Canal.

The Middle Corridor is 4,256 km long by road and rail, and 508 km by sea. link
