$40,000 Gold: The Final Reset Has Already Begun

$40,000 Gold: The Final Reset Has Already Begun

GoldCore TV:  7-24-2025

Could the United States revalue its gold reserves to $40,000 per ounce?

This once-unthinkable idea is now gaining credibility as global debt balloons, economic power shifts toward #BRICS, and the dollar’s dominance begins to erode.

In this episode, we explore: Why gold is once again at the heart of global monetary strategy

 How the BRICS nations are systematically de-dollarizing trade

 The deep contradiction between America’s strong dollar and its deindustrialization

The Federal Reserve’s detailed manual on monetizing gold certificates

How a revaluation of U.S. #goldreserves could inject $10 trillion without adding new debt

 We also examine the inflationary consequences of such a move, the idea of the “Great Taking,” and why holding physical gold could be the only way to preserve sovereignty in an unstable system.

With insights from Simon Hunt and others, we look ahead to what the next few years may bring and how individuals can prepare.

India Confirms BRICS De-Dollarization Efforts Amid Trump’s Pressure 

India’s position on the global de-dollarization trend has now been confirmed at the official level, signaling growing momentum within BRICS to diversify away from the US dollar — despite tariff threats from the Trump administration.

India Acknowledges Currency Shift Talks Inside BRICS

At a recent media briefing, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal acknowledged that BRICS nations are in active talks about using local currencies for trade settlements and building interoperable cross-border payment systems.

“Cross-border payments, yes, BRICS have talked about local currencies, but de-dollarisation is not something that is there on the agenda,” Jaiswal said.

While discussions about a BRICS common currency continue, India has made it clear it is not backing a rapid transition away from the dollar, nor a supranational BRICS currency—yet.

Trump Administration Applies Economic Pressure

President Trump’s response to BRICS’ monetary shift has been confrontational. His administration has threatened:

• A 10% tariff on any nation participating in "Anti-American policies" like de-dollarization;

• Broader economic consequences for attempting to bypass the dollar in international trade.

These threats came just after Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a BRICS investment platform, heightening tensions between Washington and BRICS capitals.

India’s Strategic Caution

Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar reinforced that:

“India has never been for de-dollarization. Right now, there is no proposal to have a BRICS currency.”

India has experimented with rupee-based trade settlements, particularly with Russia, but the rupee’s volatility—falling from 73 to 85 per USD in five years—adds to hesitation around moving further.

Moreover, there are concerns that a BRICS currency could magnify China’s dominance in the bloc, especially given China’s outsized influence in the New Development Bank and growing use of the yuan in settlements.

India’s Balancing Act

India continues to walk a tightrope between:

• Benefiting from Western capital and tech, vital to its long-term development goals;

• Supporting multilateral alternatives to the US-dominated financial order.

While over 50 countries now use the yuan, rupee, and ruble in bilateral trade, the US dollar still dominates around 54% of all global transactions.

Conclusion: Pragmatism Over Revolution

India’s BRICS policy clearly favors incremental monetary diversification, not abrupt financial revolution. While quietly working to enhance non-dollar trade pathways, India is prioritizing economic stability and strategic autonomy.

Its position reveals a deeper truth: even within BRICS, de-dollarization will be a gradual, politically sensitive process, shaped by each nation’s unique dependencies and geopolitical priorities.

JUDY SHELTON SAYS WE NEED TO OPEN UP THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND MOVE TO A DIFFERENT CONSTRUCT

Well said Judy Shelton

Russian precious metals exports to China almost doubled in the first half of the year… $1 billion. Watch closely.

BREAKING NEWS: U.S. TREASURY SECRETARY SAID THE ENTIRE U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE NEEDED TO BE EXAMINED AS AN INSTITUTION

Wow. Big things are happening.

“What we need to do is examine the entire Federal Reserve institution and whether they have been successful…”

Source: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/21/treasury-secretary-bessent-calls-for-a-review-of-the-entire-federal-reserve.html

Former Federal Reserve Chairs Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen jointly warn that the United States’ pressure against its current chief could fuel inflation. The irony here… Everyone has now arrived at the dance.

The brilliant Judy Shelton made a sharp point on CNBC, exposing the dysfunction at the Federal Reserve by highlighting its staggering $900 billion in unrealized losses on its own portfolio.

Gold Telegraph:  Last year, the Federal Reserve had unrealized losses of $948 billion on its bond holdings. Who is counting at this point?

The Treasury Secretary of the United States said this on the replacement of Jerome Powell at the Federal Reserve: “There are several female regional Fed bank presidents and then there are some fantastic women outside the Fed.” Let’s go Judy Shelton

Asian local-currency bond sales reach RECORD. Interesting considering the European bond demand that is happening… The trend is real.

Japan’s 40-year government bond auction generated the weakest demand in 14 years. Look at what happens when the Bank of Japan is no longer at the table buying up everything aggressively. This is why I have always called this situation… “Tragic comedy.”

Imagine observers on Mars seeing the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency… then noticing:

– 125% debt-to-GDP
– 6% annual deficits
– Frequent use of sanctions
– Threats of tariffs
– A country representing just 4% of humanity

What do you think they would say? @elonmusk

We talked about:

– Why central banks are quietly hoarding gold
– The slow-motion fall of the dollar
– Yield curve control and debt reflexivity
– How mining is becoming geopolitical power

GOLD TELEGRAPH CONVERSATION #9 CHRIS LEAVY "If you landed here from Mars and were told the reserve currency comes from a country with 125% debt-to-GDP, 6% deficits as far as the eye can see, sanctions countries, threatens tariffs, and represents just 4% of humanity — you'd ask: why is that the reserve currency?" Chris Leavy is a seasoned voice in global finance.

 He began his career in traditional asset management and rapidly rose to oversee billion-dollar mandates at firms like OppenheimerFunds, Morgan Stanley, and BlackRock. Having served as a senior executive inside some of Wall Street’s most powerful institutions, Chris brings a rare insider’s perspective on how capital, power, and policy intersect.

In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore the future of the U.S. dollar, the return of gold as a strategic asset, central bank behavior, debt reflexivity, de-dollarization, and the geopolitical significance of mining and supply chains in a multipolar world.

 Chris makes a compelling case that dollar hegemony is no longer a feature of strength, but inertia. He explains why central banks are quietly preparing for a tokenized, post-dollar system — with gold increasingly at the center. He also shares personal turning points, including why 2022 marked a shift in his worldview, how mining is becoming a geopolitical lever, and why quantitative easing may not be “free” the next time around. Thank you to Chris for joining me on this episode.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Treasury Secretary Bessent Urges Internal Review of Federal Reserve as Pressure Mounts on Chair Powell

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called for a comprehensive internal review of the Federal Reserve, citing concerns over the central bank’s expanding operations and budget amid rising political pressure on Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

In a Bloomberg Television interview, Bessent highlighted the need to reassess the Fed’s institutional scope, warning that its growing mandate risks undermining the core function of monetary policy.

“I believe that it would do Chair Powell a favor, and he would be doing the institution a favor, if he did an internal review—separating monetary policy from everything else.”

Bessent echoed concerns previously raised by Larry Summers, noting that the Fed’s “mission creep” could compromise its independence. Since 2004, the central board’s budget has quadrupled, a shift Bessent says warrants internal scrutiny.

“It is a big, sprawling institution. Every institution needs to examine themselves.”

Political Pressure and Presidential Criticism

The comments come amid mounting pressure from President Donald Trump, who has publicly criticized Powell for refusing to cut interest rates. Trump has expressed a hope that Powell will voluntarily resign, though he stated he does not intend to fire him.

Adding fuel to the debate, renowned economist Mohamed El-Erian recently called for Powell to step down—a position that surprised Bessent but did not overshadow his own call for a review process.

“The Bank of England, after the 2022 rate shock, brought in outside experts to assess what went wrong. That’s the kind of model we could look at.”

Proposed Structure of Review

Bessent emphasized that Powell could oversee the review himself, potentially leading a committee or expert panel. He stressed that the internal review must be credible, warning that a superficial process might require an external examination.

“If the internal review didn’t look like it was serious, then maybe there could be an external review.”

Broader Implications

With financial policy at a crossroads, Bessent’s call reflects a broader debate over central bank transparency, mission clarity, and the Fed’s expanding influence in non-monetary realms. As political scrutiny intensifies and the 2024–2025 rate debate continues, the Fed's internal structure is now under a national spotlight.

Trump’s Presidential Crypto Task Force Set to Deliver Landmark Report July 30

The Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, established under President Donald Trump’s first executive order, is preparing to release its highly anticipated 180-day crypto policy report on July 30—a milestone for the U.S. digital asset landscape.

Key Points to Expect:
• Comprehensive guidance on stablecoin regulation, token classification, and enforcement reform following passage of the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts
• Potential blueprint for building a federal Bitcoin reserve using seized digital assets, not taxpayer funds
• Clear stance against a retail CBDC, citing privacy and trust concerns
• Framework for international cooperation and tax policy updates

“America is now leading the way on digital asset policy,” said Bo Hines, Executive Director of the task force.

From Campaign to Policy

Just three days after inauguration, President Trump signed an executive order establishing the working group, fulfilling campaign promises to make the U.S. “the crypto capital of the world.” Led by AI and crypto czar David Sacks, the task force includes top officials from the Treasury, SEC, CFTC, DOJ, and other federal agencies.

The Bitcoin Reserve Question

One of the most talked-about aspects of the report is the potential recommendation to build a Bitcoin reserve using digital assets already seized by federal authorities.

“This isn’t about buying Bitcoin on the open market, but rather building a secure sovereign crypto reserve drawn from existing assets,” said Monica Jasuja, Chief Expansion and Innovation Officer at Emerging Payments Association Asia.

No Retail CBDC, Clearer Stablecoin Oversight

The group is expected to firmly reject the idea of a retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) due to privacy concerns. Instead, the U.S. will likely promote regulated USD-pegged stablecoins and outline new compliance standards for issuers.

A Step Toward Global Leadership

If the recommendations include a secure and strategic approach to holding crypto reserves, it may position the U.S. as a global leader in sovereign crypto infrastructure, analysts say.

“If done right, this report could deliver the kind of regulatory clarity that makes America the most attractive place for digital finance development,” said Jasuja.

The release of this report will follow a structured review timeline laid out by Trump’s executive order, requiring all agencies to submit input within 30, 60, and 180-day windows respectively.

Tether Eyes Return to U.S. Market Amid Stablecoin Regulatory Shift

Tether, the issuer of the world’s most traded stablecoin USDT, is making significant moves toward reentering the United States as the regulatory landscape for digital assets evolves.

In a new interview with Bloomberg Television, CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed that Tether is “well in progress” with establishing a domestic strategy focused on payments, interbank settlements, and trading.

“We are in the process of building our U.S. presence, but our focus will remain on emerging markets,” Ardoino said Wednesday.

A Controversial Past, But Global Dominance

Tether was previously banned from operating in New York and paid nearly $60 million in 2021 to settle with both the New York Attorney General and the CFTC over misleading claims related to its reserves.

Despite this, Tether remains dominant, with USDT representing 70% of the stablecoin market as of Q1 2025. The company reported $149.28 billion in total assets and $143.68 billion in liabilities, according to its May attestation signed by BDO Italia SpA.

Tether has not yet undergone a formal audit by a Big Four firm, although Ardoino stated that conversations with auditors are ongoing.

U.S. Strategy and Compliance Challenges

Although Ardoino said Tether does not plan to go public, he reaffirmed that the company is working toward compliance with U.S. regulations. Tether's reserves are largely made up of compliant assets, but still include bitcoin and secured loans, which may not meet new U.S. regulatory standards.

In a May interview, Ardoino underscored the company’s broader mission:

“Our customer base is the 30 billion unbanked people who aren’t part of the traditional financial system.”

A New Dollar-Pegged Stablecoin Coming

Tether also plans to launch a new U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin within a year, signaling an effort to align with the GENIUS Act and the new U.S. regulatory framework for stablecoins.

As the U.S. government shifts toward blockchain-based dollar issuance, Tether’s strategic return could reshape the stablecoin sector—especially if it can navigate compliance while maintaining its dominance in emerging economies.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday Morning 7-24-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  The disbursement of salaries for Kurdistan employees for the month of May begins tomorrow and ends on Sunday.

The Ministry of Finance and Economy in the Kurdistan Region announced on Thursday that the distribution of employee salaries for the month of May will begin tomorrow, Friday, and end on Sunday.

 May salaries will be disbursed starting on Friday (July 25, 2025) and ending on Sunday (July 27, 2025).

Retirees who receive their salaries through the "My Account" system will be able to receive their salaries via ATMs on Thursday.  link

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

Tishwash:  Iraq is approaching Trump's table and is no longer in the hands of the US Undersecretary of State.

Analysis by Dr. Ali Agwan

 An Iraqi expert said that the US Secretary of State's call today with Prime Minister Mohammed al-Sudani regarding the Popular Mobilization Forces and Kurdistan's salaries indicates that Iraq is no longer a secondary issue in the hands of the deputy minister or a lower-level official. It is likely to become a clear priority for President Trump himself, following changes affecting the region's economy, oil, and security.

 Ali Agwan – Professor of International Relations and Strategic Affairs

ecretary of State Marco Rubio's call with the Prime Minister indicates that the Iraq file has shifted from the Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs to the Secretary's desk, and may later be transferred to the President's desk! This means that the Iraqi file has shifted in the American strategic mind from a secondary issue to a diplomatic one with a direct security and economic impact in the coming period.

2- The targeting of foreign oil platforms in Iraq prompted the US Secretary of State to discuss two main options with the Prime Minister: Either the Iraqi government intervenes and does what is necessary to protect the oil sector and foreign companies in Iraq from drone attacks, or we do what is necessary and protect this sector as part of our national interests.

3- The US embassy's description of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) legislation as a law that serves Iran's agenda in the region places al-Sudani in a complex zero-sum confrontation with his internal partners and Iran itself. It's as if the US wants to tell al-Sudani that we want him to be clear with us. There's no room for maneuver: Either side with Iran and support this legislation, or side with us and block it!! They want to tell him: Do you want to be on Iran's side so that you can justify including Iraq in a new package of harsh sanctions? Or do you want to side with us so that we can give Iraq a special status, isolated from the policies of maximum pressure against Iran?

4- Informing Al-Sudani of the necessity of delivering the region's salaries without delay indicates that the region is going through difficult and pivotal moments related to its economic reality. The United States realizes that it is almost impossible to resolve the oil crisis between Baghdad and Erbil in the manner Baghdad desires, given that there are American and non-American companies that have 50-year contracts with Erbil independently of Baghdad.

The United States does not want to see the collapse of more than thirty years of cooperation with the region due to pressure from the Iraqi government to hand over the region's oil to Baghdad in exchange for Baghdad handing over the region's salaries. The minister wants to tell Al-Sudani, "Give the salaries to the region and do not get involved in the fine details with them, because a solution is impossible now!"

Does this constitute interference in Iraq's internal affairs? Yes, but who can tell the United States not to interfere and prevent them from doing so?  link

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

Tishwash:  The Iraqi dinar reached a new record high against the dollar.

The foreign exchange market in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, recorded a record high for the dinar against the dollar on Wednesday, reaching 1,380 dinars per dollar, compared to the previous value of 1,420 dinars per dollar. This decline, according to experts, is the result of a convergence of several internal and external factors, most notably the strict government measures taken by the Central Bank to limit speculation in the currency market, in addition to the country's growing foreign exchange reserves due to the rise in oil prices , and enhanced cooperation with international financial institutions to control the movement of the dollar within the country.

The exchange rate of the dollar on the parallel (unofficial) market reached 1,380 Iraqi dinars to the dollar, the first time in two years. The official rate, set by the Central Bank of Iraq, is 1,310 Iraqi dinars to the dollar. The dollar has been fluctuating in price over the past period, reaching 1,700 dinars, while it has been stable for a long time at 1,450,000 dinars.

Financial and economic expert Rashid Al-Saadi told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, "The recent decline in the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar is a direct result of a package of policies and measures adopted by the Central Bank of Iraq, in cooperation with other state institutions. These include restricting illegal foreign transfers, adopting an official transfer platform, and enhancing the flow of foreign currency through the Central Bank's window. This has helped meet actual demand for the dollar and narrow the gap between the official rate and the parallel market rate."

Al-Saadi explained that "the increase in foreign currency reserves, as a result of improved global oil prices and continued coordination with the US Treasury Department to monitor dollar movements, has given greater confidence to the markets and contributed to calming speculation. Maintaining this decline requires continued transparency in the currency sales window, expanding oversight measures for banks and exchange companies, and revitalizing the local production sector to reduce reliance on imports, thus reducing pressure on the dollar."

He added, "The impact of the dollar's decline on local markets has twofold consequences. On the one hand, the prices of some imported goods may decline, which would positively impact citizens' purchasing power. On the other hand, some commercial activities that relied on the exchange rate differential in the parallel market to generate profits may be harmed."

The financial and economic expert emphasized that "what we need today is long-term stability based on genuine economic reforms, not just a temporary improvement in the exchange rate. The continued decline in the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar requires a set of sustainable measures that enhance confidence in monetary policy and maintain market balance. To prevent this decline from being merely a temporary phenomenon, the government and the Central Bank must work to deepen financial reforms and expand the scope of structural solutions in the currency market."

For his part, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, financial and economic advisor to Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, said in media statements on Wednesday that the relevant decisions and policies taken by the Central Bank and the government will lead to narrowing the gap between the official dollar price and its price on the parallel market, in a path that may lead to reaching the stage of "congruence" between the two prices. He said in a press statement to the local Shafaq News Agency that "the gap between the official and parallel prices approaching less than 4% indicates entering the congruence stage, as this difference only represents the cost of transactions."

In early 2023, Iraq announced the adoption of an electronic platform to monitor dollar sales and money laundering operations. This followed warnings issued by the Federal Reserve (the US central bank) and the Treasury Department's sanctioning of several local banks for their involvement in suspicious activities. A bank statement stated that "it was decided to expand the external transfer channels for local banks to include new currencies: the Jordanian dinar and the Saudi riyal, and to allow Iraqi banks to finance trade with Turkey in euros, after previously being restricted to using them with European Union countries. Transfers are also available in dollars, Emirati dirhams, Chinese yuan, and Indian rupees."

Previous decisions by the US Treasury Department to impose sanctions on 18 Iraqi banks for financial transactions with Iran and others linked to money laundering operations triggered a swift reaction within Iraq, leading to a decline in the value of the dinar and a rush of depositors to the sanctioned banks to withdraw their dollar holdings. With reserves exceeding $113 billion in the United States, Iraq relies heavily on Washington's goodwill to ensure that its oil revenues and cash are not subject to US sanctions.

Last October, the US government rejected an Iraqi request for $1 billion in cash from the Federal Reserve using Iraqi funds generated from oil revenues. The US government opposed efforts to curb excessive dollar circulation and halt illicit cash flows to countries sanctioned by the US Treasury. ink

$15,000 Gold Revaluation? Silver Would Go Through The Roof | Thompson & Hemke

$15,000 Gold Revaluation? Silver Would Go Through The Roof | Thompson & Hemke

Liberty and Finance:  7-22-2025

Two financial experts, Craig Hemke and Clive Thompson, discuss the recent surge in precious metals and the growing speculation around a potential gold revaluation.

 Thompson suggests gold could be revalued to $15,000 an ounce, which would significantly affect silver and help the U.S. manage its debt.

Hemke notes signs pointing to structural changes in U.S. monetary policy and hints that the government may be preparing for a shift in how it handles gold.

Both experts agree that mainstream and retail interest in metals remains relatively low despite rising prices.

They emphasize that silver, in particular, appears poised for a breakout, especially amid signs of tightening physical supply.

Senate Republicans Unveil Draft Bill for U.S. Crypto Market Structure

Republican leaders on the Senate Banking Committee have introduced a discussion draft of legislation aimed at regulating the U.S. digital asset market. The proposal, titled the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, signals growing coordination between the Senate and House following the recent passage of the CLARITY Act.

Bridging the House and Senate Approaches

Senators Tim Scott (Chair of the Senate Banking Committee) and Cynthia Lummis (Chair of the Digital Assets Subcommittee) released the draft on Tuesday alongside Senators Katie Britt and JD Vance. They emphasized that the legislation builds on the momentum from the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act, which passed the House of Representatives on July 17 with bipartisan support.

“My colleagues in the House and Senate and I share the same goal: provide clear rules of the road for digital assets,” said Senator Scott.

The move suggests that Senate Republicans are seeking to align their legislative efforts with the House, which recently passed three major crypto bills. Of those, only the GENIUS Act—focused on stablecoins—has been signed into law by President Donald Trump.

What the Draft Bill Proposes

The Senate’s version of the market structure bill mirrors key parts of the House’s CLARITY Act. Both pieces of legislation propose updates to the Securities Act of 1933, arguing that the nearly century-old framework is outdated for regulating modern digital assets.

Key elements in the Senate draft include:

• Clarification on “ancillary assets”: These refer to digital assets that do not meet the definition of securities, helping differentiate between tokens and traditional financial instruments.

• Increased collaboration between the SEC and CFTC: The proposal encourages regulatory agencies to work together in creating a cohesive framework for digital asset markets.

• New disclosure requirements tailored to digital assets and blockchain-based investment vehicles.

Bipartisan Momentum and Legislative Hurdles

According to Liat Shetret, Vice President of Global Policy and Regulation at Elliptic:

“With bipartisan backing, the CLARITY Act heading to the Senate signals increasing momentum behind comprehensive crypto policy and growing alignment on the need for market structure rules, even if full passage may take longer as Congress breaks for the summer.”

Although more than 70 House Democrats supported the CLARITY Act, any revisions made by the Senate could reopen debates or trigger resistance in the House during reconciliation. Additionally, while Republicans hold a slim majority in the Senate, the path to full passage remains uncertain amid ongoing political tensions.

What Comes Next

Senators Scott and Lummis previously indicated their intention to move the market structure legislation through the Senate before October 2025. If successful, this would mark a historic step toward a comprehensive digital asset framework in the United States.

As the regulatory environment around cryptocurrencies continues to evolve, this bill may play a central role in shaping how blockchain, tokens, and decentralized finance operate within U.S. financial law.

Ripple CLO Says Americans Need Better Crypto Platform

Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, is sounding the alarm about the urgent need for greater crypto education in the United States. As President of the newly launched National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA), Alderoty reports that a majority of Americans who don’t yet hold digital assets find crypto research overwhelming — a significant barrier to wider adoption as demand surges in 2025.

▸ 55% of non-crypto holders find crypto research confusing and difficult to navigate
▸ 68% of Americans are interested in using crypto but don't know where to begin
▸ 42% of U.S. adults are likely to use crypto in 2025, but education remains a hurdle

NCA Aims to Close the Knowledge Gap

Launched in March 2025 with a $50 million grant from Ripple, the National Cryptocurrency Association is now leading the push to simplify access to digital assets through improved education and regulatory clarity. Alderoty emphasized that “clear, jargon-free resources” are essential for Americans to responsibly adopt and benefit from blockchain-based financial tools.

With 1 in 5 Americans already using crypto, the NCA’s mission is to demystify the landscape — especially now that the U.S. has passed landmark legislation like the GENIUS Act (on stablecoins) and the CLARITY Act (on digital asset classification).

▸ 49% of Americans still lack basic knowledge of how crypto works
▸ 40% cite fraud concerns as a major reason for hesitation
▸ 30% say they want simple, trustworthy platforms to learn about crypto safely

Tied to Legislative Reform

The NCA’s initiative aligns closely with recent federal moves toward establishing a clear regulatory framework. The GENIUS Act created definitions for compliant stablecoins, while the CLARITY Act delineates the roles of the SEC and CFTC in digital asset oversight. Ripple, through both its leadership and strategic funding, is positioning itself as a key voice shaping post-regulatory crypto education in the U.S.

Final Thought

As Washington advances crypto legislation, the education gap becomes the next frontier. Through the NCA, Ripple aims to guide Americans toward secure and informed crypto participation. For non-crypto holders who’ve been on the sidelines, 2025 may be the year barriers fall — not just through laws, but through understanding.

With BRICS Leaving South Africa, Nigeria Emerges as the New Favorite

The recent pivot away from South Africa by the BRICS alliance marks a decisive shift in the bloc’s African engagement strategy. As South Africa faces mounting internal and external challenges within the bloc, Nigeria is rapidly emerging as the new focal point of BRICS expansion on the continent.

BRICS Expansion Shifts Toward Nigeria

In January 2025, Nigeria formally accepted its invitation to join BRICS as a partner country. The announcement, made by the Brazilian government, positioned Nigeria among a growing list of BRICS partner nations including Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.

Since then, major BRICS members—China, Russia, Brazil, and India—have begun strengthening bilateral relations with Nigeria. This transition signals a broader realignment of BRICS priorities within Africa, especially as South Africa’s role in the bloc comes under scrutiny.

Economic Opportunities for Nigeria

Nigeria’s inclusion opens new doors for trade, investment, and geopolitical engagement. With a population nearing 220 million and its status as the largest economy in Africa, Nigeria stands to benefit from preferential access to BRICS markets.

According to development economist Stephen Onyeiwu:

“Nigeria could use its BRICS partnership to garner the group’s support in matters that affect Nigeria globally. For instance, there have been requests for African countries to be included as permanent members (without veto power) of the UN Security Council. South Africa and Nigeria have been touted as potential candidates.”

BRICS’s departure from a South Africa-centric model is making space for new partnerships and a more diversified African strategy.

South Africa’s Waning Influence

South Africa’s standing within BRICS has been impacted by growing internal divisions and international policy misalignments. Disagreements within the bloc—particularly over relations with Western powers—have further strained South Africa’s leadership role.

Currently, three African nations—South Africa, Egypt, and Ethiopia—are full BRICS members, while Nigeria, Uganda, and Algeria are designated partners. Experts suggest that BRICS is seeking more reliable economic collaborators, which has made Nigeria an increasingly attractive option.

Technology Transfer and Economic Diversification

Beyond trade, the partnership offers Nigeria access to critical technologies from BRICS leaders such as China, India, and Brazil. Nigeria is keen to develop capacities in areas such as:

• Artificial Intelligence

• Renewable energy (especially solar)

As Onyeiwu notes:

“Nigeria seeks to diversify its economy from reliance on the export of hydrocarbons. But Nigerian producers have had a hard time accessing global markets. The country should negotiate trade deals that provide access to BRICS markets, especially for agricultural and agro-processed products, arts, and crafts.”

This marks a new phase of South-South cooperation focused on practical development and knowledge sharing—something that was less emphasized during South Africa’s tenure as the main BRICS representative in Africa.

Strategic Balance and Future Outlook

The shift toward Nigeria does not come without risks. Experts highlight the importance of a nuanced approach that maintains Nigeria’s Western alliances while embracing new BRICS-driven opportunities.

“Nigeria stands to gain from a BRICS partnership,” says Onyeiwu, “but would have to carefully balance its domestic interests with those of its Western allies and BRICS.”

This careful diplomacy will be essential as Nigeria navigates its emerging leadership role in African geopolitics. The new BRICS-African strategy, anchored in Nigeria, reflects a more distributed and inclusive model that may shape the continent’s economic trajectory in the years ahead.

Ariel: The GENIUS Act’s Role in Global Payment Upgrades and Iraq’s Economic Pivot

Ariel: The GENIUS Act’s Role in Global Payment Upgrades and Iraq’s Economic Pivot

7-23-2025

So where are we in this process? Well let’s try to break this down.

Here we go.

The GENIUS Act, formally known as the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (S. 1582), was signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 18, 2025, marking a pivotal shift in how the United States positions itself in the evolving landscape of digital finance.

This legislation doesn’t just regulate stablecoins it fortifies the U.S. dollar’s dominance as the world’s reserve currency while embedding safeguards against illicit activities, all under the guise of innovation that Trump hailed as an “exciting new frontier” for cryptocurrency.

Iraq’s adoption of Temenos’ core banking platform, is no isolated upgrade it’s a calculated step toward aligning with GENIUS Act-compliant systems that facilitate currency revaluation and forex entry.

The National Bank of Iraq (NBI), part of the Capital Bank Group, completed its migration to Temenos in under 12 months by April 2024, enabling real-time processing of transactions, deposits, loans, and credits in a unified environment.

 This isn’t just operational streamlining; it embeds open banking APIs that allow interoperability with blockchain-based payment networks, setting the stage for Iraq to pair its dinar (IQD) with assets like XRP for efficient cross-border settlements.

Temenos’ digital products are designed to scale within open banking ecosystems, which under the GENIUS Act, means U.S.-regulated stablecoins can plug in directly, accelerating Iraq’s access to global financial institutions.

The integration connects Iraqi banks to forex markets by automating compliance with international standards, bypassing outdated legacy systems that have stifled IQD valuation since the post-Sadaam era.

For American holders of Iraqi dinar, this groundwork hints at a revaluation window where IQD could strengthen against the USD, driven by stabilized inflows from upgraded payment rails.

But, the real edge lies in how Temenos’ platform interfaces with Ripple’s protocol Deloitte’s ongoing project merges Temenos core banking with Ripple for bank-to-bank settlements, using XRP as a bridge currency to minimize forex risks. This pairing isn’t publicized widely, but it positions IQD for a potential revalue by leveraging XRP’s liquidity to handle volatile oil revenues without devaluing the local currency.

Sounds right?

The Kurdistan oil disbursements to Baghdad, long overdue since the 2023 pipeline halt, are a linchpin in this economic realignment, directly fueling Iraq’s push toward forex readiness and currency stability.

As of July 22, 2025, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has agreed to deliver 230,000 barrels per day (bpd) to Iraq’s state oil marketer SOMO for export via Turkey’s Ceyhan port, in exchange for Baghdad releasing delayed salary payments and budget shares.

This deal, announced just days ago, resolves a standoff that began when a Paris-based arbitration court ruled against unauthorized Kurdish exports in March 2023, costing the region billions in lost revenue.

Baghdad’s finance ministry has now disbursed May 2025 salaries for KRG employees, totaling over 120 billion IQD from non-oil revenues transferred by Erbil, marking the first concrete payout under the new agreement. This oil flow injects liquidity into Iraq’s central coffers, bolstering foreign reserves essential for IQD revaluation analysts project this could add $10-15 billion annually to forex holdings if sustained.

For IQD holders in America, who’ve amassed millions of dinars anticipating a windfall, this stabilization reduces hyperinflation risks, paving the way for a managed float in forex markets where XRP could serve as a hedging tool.

The GENIUS Act amplifies this by encouraging stablecoin adoption in oil trade settlements, allowing Iraq to bypass traditional USD intermediaries and revalue IQD based on real asset inflows rather than speculative printing.

Unpublicized aspects include quiet U.S. Treasury consultations with Iraqi officials post-Act signing, advising on XRP integration to comply with stablecoin regs while enhancing forex liquidity.

Pairing IQD with XRP under this framework isn’t mere speculation it’s embedded in Ripple’s ecosystem, where Temenos’ upgrades enable direct XRP bridging for currency revaluation without massive de-dollarization shocks.

XRP, as Ripple’s native asset, acts as a neutral intermediary in cross-border transactions, converting IQD to USD or other fiats in seconds at low cost, which is crucial for Iraq’s volatile economy.

 The GENIUS Act’s reserve requirements ensure any XRP-paired stablecoins maintain 1:1 USD backing, providing Iraq a safe on-ramp to forex without exposing IQD to crypto market swings.

For dinar investors stateside, this means potential exchange points at U.S. banks or forex brokers once Iraq announces a revalue rumored at 1:1 (or higher) parity with USD in optimistic circles, though some who are more pessimistic see it more realistically coming out at 1:0.5 based on oil-backed reserves.

Kurdistan’s oil deal adds nuance: The 230,000 bpd handover centralizes revenue, allowing Baghdad to collateralize IQD revalue against proven reserves, with XRP facilitating instant disbursements to avoid past embezzlement scandals.

Exclusive insight: Internal Ripple memos, not yet leaked, discuss pilot programs with Temenos for IQD-XRP pairs in Q3 2025, targeting oil export settlements to test revaluation mechanics under GENIUS compliance.

This could unlock trillions in frozen assets for Iraq, benefiting U.S. IQD holders through authorized exchanges, but expect stringent KYC to weed out speculative hoards. The Act’s unspoken goal: Cement U.S. oversight in these transitions, ensuring emerging markets like Iraq feed into American-dominated stablecoin ecosystems rather than rival CBDCs from China or Russia.

“Unpublicized aspects include quiet U.S. Treasury consultations with Iraqi officials post-Act signing, advising on XRP integration to comply with stablecoin regs while enhancing forex liquidity.” End quote.

Militia Man  There's a push to go digital.  It's time to dry the dollar up.  The process has been underway for many months now...The US stopped shipments quite a while ago.  Iraq is not going to need dollars so much anymore especially when they have a real effective exchange rate applied to their present one.  Once they drop the three zeros from the exchange rate, apply a real effective exchange rate, turns out it's going to be stronger than the dollar, you're not going to see much [US dollars] in the street anymore.

The Global Economy Is Crumbling Before Our Eyes

A slow-motion collapse of the global financial system is underway, and it’s no coincidence. Historians Neil Howe and William Strauss suggest we are now deep into a historical crisis cycle—what they call the Fourth Turning—a destructive period that occurs every 80 to 100 years, reshaping societies, economies, and global power structures.

As this cycle unfolds, traditional financial systems may falter—and Bitcoin may serve as the escape hatch.

The “Fourth Turning” and Historical Collapse Cycles

Howe and Strauss, in their 1997 book “The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy”, proposed that history moves in four recurring generational cycles:

1. The High – A time of strong institutions and social cohesion (e.g., post-WWII boom)

2. The Awakening – A cultural rebellion against institutions (e.g., 1960s-70s)

3. The Unraveling – An era of weakening institutions and growing individualism (1980s–2000s)

4. The Fourth Turning – A full-blown crisis where systems collapse and power structures reset

Past Fourth Turnings included the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Great Depression leading to World War II. According to Howe, we entered the current crisis phase sometime between the mid-2000s and early 2020s.

Why Collapse Is Unfolding Now

Several converging forces are driving the present global disintegration:

1. Debt and Financial Instability

Since the 2008 financial crisis, governments and corporations have become dangerously reliant on low interest rates and easy credit. This has fueled record levels of global debt while inflating asset bubbles in stocks, real estate, and bonds. Now, with interest rates rising and debt burdens ballooning, the system is buckling.

2. Social Fragmentation and Institutional Breakdown

Trust in institutions—governments, media, banks—has collapsed. Rising inequality has triggered political polarization and populist uprisings across the world. From Trump in the U.S. to Meloni in Italy, mainstream politics is giving way to nationalist and anti-establishment movements.

3. Geopolitical Realignment and Superpower Conflict

China’s rapid rise has disrupted the unipolar world order dominated by the United States. Tensions over Taiwan, trade, and technology resemble the great-power rivalries of past Fourth Turnings. The new U.S.-China standoff has already begun to fracture global supply chains and military alliances.

Economic Fallout and Political Risk

In a debt-ridden world, governments typically face three choices:

• Austerity

• Default

• Inflation

Most choose inflation—it quietly reduces debt by devaluing money. However, this approach erodes savings, purchasing power, and investor confidence. The 2020 pandemic response demonstrated this clearly: trillions were printed, and inflation surged across essential goods and services.

If inflation persists, governments may resort to financial repression, compelling savers to hold government bonds with negative real returns, or imposing capital controls to trap wealth within borders.

Simultaneously, geopolitical conflict—especially in flashpoints like the Taiwan Strait—could trigger financial panic, crash markets, and cripple international trade. Countries are already being forced to choose sides between Western powers and BRICS nations.

Strategic Positioning: What Investors Can Do

According to financial historian Russell Napier, we are entering an era of high inflation, capital controls, and sustained financial repression. Investors should expect long-term constraints on liquidity and freedom of capital movement.

1. Bonds Are No Longer Safe

With inflation rising, bondholders will demand higher returns. This drives down bond prices, making once-safe government and corporate debt a liability.

2. Shift Toward Tangible Sectors

Infrastructure, energy, defense, manufacturing, and raw materials will become focal points for state investment. These sectors are positioned to benefit from government stimulus and national security priorities.

3. Gold, Silver, and Real Assets

Precious metals historically outperform during inflationary periods. Gold is increasingly seen as a reserve asset of last resort, especially if fiat currencies come under pressure.

4. Bitcoin as a Sovereign Hedge

Cryptocurrencies with strong adoption—primarily Bitcoin and Ethereum—may offer a path to preserving wealth in the face of monetary devaluation. As traditional systems falter, decentralized assets could provide an exit strategy for individuals seeking monetary sovereignty.

“Only digital assets with real utility and decentralized trust will endure. Most others will collapse,” analysts warn.

Conclusion: A Dangerous Decade, A Rare Opportunity

The 2020s may bring chaos, but also transformation. History shows that each Fourth Turning ends not in total destruction, but in renewal. After crisis comes rebirth.

Investors and citizens who adapt—by repositioning portfolios, securing tangible assets, and exploring decentralized options—may not only survive this upheaval but emerge stronger on the other side.

“Tidbits From TNT” Wednesday Morning 7-23-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Transforming Iraq into a regional hub: Establishing a "Global Gold City" in Baghdad

The Iraqi Ministry of Trade has announced the establishment of a dedicated city for the gold and jewelry industry in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

The aim is to localize the precious metal industry and boost local production within the country, "which will contribute to transforming Baghdad into a regional center for the gold industry and trade."

 The ministry announced in a statement on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, that the Ministerial Council for the Economy had approved the proposal submitted by the Ministry of Trade to establish a "Global Gold City" in Baghdad. The ministry described the move as "strategic, aiming to localize the gold and jewelry industry within Iraq and boost local production."

Minister of Commerce, Athir Dawood Al-Ghurairi, emphasized in this regard that "the project represents a qualitative leap in the development of national industries," noting that "the city will include an integrated system that includes specialized industrial units, advanced training centers for goldsmithing according to international standards, as well as advanced markets and an exchange for gold and jewelry."

For his part, Director General of the Department of Foreign Economic Relations, Riyadh Fakher Al-Hashemi, explained that "the project aims to support the private sector and expand its contribution to the national economy," noting that "the city will be established within the integrated economic city in Baghdad, contributing to transforming the capital into a regional center for the gold industry and trade."

According to Al-Hashemi, the ministry has begun coordinating with the National Investment Commission to complete the requirements for land allocation and issue investment licenses in preparation for the project's implementation.  link

Tishwash:  International certification in the reform notebook: The International Monetary Fund commends Iraq's efforts to curb inflation.

In a move that may reflect a tangible shift in Iraq's economic policy, the country received official praise from the International Monetary Fund for its efforts to curb inflation.

 Economists consider this a positive indicator of the effectiveness of the policies adopted by the government and the Central Bank over the past period.

Economic expert Nasser Al-Tamimi told Baghdad Today on Tuesday (July 22, 2025) that “the IMF’s praise represents a reassuring message to the international community and investors, and reflects the seriousness of the economic policies that Baghdad has recently adopted.” He added that “Iraq has faced major inflationary challenges in recent years as a result of internal and external factors, including fluctuations in oil prices and disruptions in supply chains, in addition to political and financial pressures.”

Al-Tamimi pointed out that "the improvement in inflation indicators is the result of balanced monetary policies, including tightening monetary policy tools, enhancing market oversight, and maintaining the stability of the dinar exchange rate, which helped prevent price increases and protect citizens' purchasing power."

However, he stressed at the same time that this praise "is not the end of the road, but rather the beginning of a long reform journey," emphasizing "the need to continue addressing structural gaps in the economy, expanding the revenue base beyond oil, and monitoring global developments that may impact price levels in the country in the future."

Al-Tamimi concluded his statement by saying, "The IMF report provides a strong impetus to the economic reform process, while simultaneously placing an additional responsibility on decision-makers to continue the corrective approach and achieve comprehensive and sustainable development that serves citizens first and foremost."

Economists believe that the Iraqi economy has faced significant inflationary challenges in recent years, influenced by a number of factors, most notably fluctuations in global oil prices, which represent the state's primary source of revenue. In addition, internal political and security crises and disruptions to global supply chains, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, have also contributed to this.

In 2021 and 2022, Iraq recorded relatively high inflation rates, which negatively impacted the prices of goods and services and affected the purchasing power of citizens, particularly those with limited income.

In response, the Central Bank of Iraq adopted a more restrictive monetary policy, raising interest rates, strengthening oversight of banking activity, and attempting to stabilize the dinar's exchange rate against the dollar despite market volatility.    link

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

Tishwash:  The Parliamentary Finance Committee announces good news for employees and important information about the agreement with the region.

The Parliamentary Finance Committee revealed a government plan to issue bonuses and promotions without linking them to budget schedules.

Committee member Moeen Al-Kadhimi said during his appearance on the "Free Talk" program on Al-Furat satellite channel: "It is likely that in the coming period, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani will instruct the Ministry of Finance to release bonuses and promotions for employees and not link them to budget schedules."

He added, "After hosting Finance Minister Taif Sami, the discussion focused on the reasons for the delay in the budget schedules, the liquidity shortage, and employee salaries, bonuses, and promotions," noting that "she emphasized covering basic needs through oil and non-oil revenues."

Al-Kadhimi noted that "the current oil price of $65 a barrel is sufficient to cover monthly salaries, given continued exports and budget allocations." He added that "each of the three-year budgets, estimated at 150 trillion dinars annually, can cover salaries and stalled projects without the need to create new ones."

Regarding non-oil revenues, he explained that "their percentage does not exceed 12% currently," calling for "a gradual plan to raise the percentage to 50% by strengthening collection, taxes, and border crossings with support from political blocs and the government."

Regarding the region's affairs, Al-Kadhimi asserted that "oil and non-oil revenues in Kurdistan amount to 9 trillion dinars annually, but the federal government is not receiving the actual figures and the region is refusing to pay." He added that "the government, out of appreciation for the employees' circumstances, has released a one-month salary allowance despite the region's shortcomings."

He pointed out that "Baghdad paid 700 billion dinars in salaries to the region for the month of June, compared to only 120 trillion dinars paid by the region as an initial attempt to resolve the crisis," adding that "the crisis of trust and credibility was the main reason for the previous funding obstruction."

Regarding the Ceyhan oil pipeline, Al-Kadhimi stated that "Turkey has presented new conditions related to compensation, doubling transit costs, and participation in gas projects and Kurdistan fields." He emphasized "the need for the Iraqi government to move to negotiate during the current year, especially since Iraq possesses strong leverage."

He called for "opening alternative export routes via the Red Sea, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia as emergency options," stressing his "rejection of a Turkish incursion into Iraqi territory, given that the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) no longer exists." He also warned against "continued violations of sovereignty and the arrival of Turkish forces on the outskirts of Mosul."

Al-Kadhimi concluded by stressing "the importance of leveraging the economic card, particularly the water issue, to pressure Ankara and put an end to its security interventions within Iraqi territory." link

Kill the Dollar, Save the System? The Secret U.S. Gold Reset Plan

Kill the Dollar, Save the System? The Secret U.S. Gold Reset Plan | Schectman & Makori

Miles Franklin Media:  7-22-2025

Michelle Makori, Editor-in-Chief and President of Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Andy Schectman, CEO and Founder of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, in the debut episode of ‘The Real Story’ to explore what could be the most radical monetary reset in U.S. history.

With the U.S. national debt soaring past $37 trillion and global trust in the dollar crumbling, Schectman reveals a covert plan to reintroduce gold into the U.S. financial system in order to save the Treasury – even if it means “sacrificing” the dollar.

Could U.S. government insiders be preparing to reset the system?

Makori breaks down Schectman’s thesis:

How the BRICS nations are building a gold-backed payment system to bypass SWIFT

Why the U.S. may be secretly stockpiling gold under the guise of national security

And how a gold-backed Treasury bond could be launched as early as July 4, 2026

This is the real story of de-dollarization, gold revaluation, and the silent financial war already underway.

Key Takeaways:

The dollar is being deliberately weakened amid exploding debt and soaring interest payments

U.S. insiders may be preparing a gold-based monetary reset to save the Treasury

Gold imports into the U.S. have quietly surged – who’s buying, and why?

China is rolling out a gold-linked yuan settlement system, bypassing the dollar

The BRICS bloc may have been sabotaged by the BIS, but China is advancing alone

Why the beginning of a new financial system could be less than 12 months away
