Japan’s Inflation Crisis Could Trigger The Next Global Bond Meltdown

Daneila Cambone:  7-28-2025

This is a very difficult, fragile situation,” says Peter Boockvar, editor of The Boock Report and CIO of OnePoint BFG, reacting to the tense exchange between Donald Trump and Fed Chair Jerome Powell last week.

 “Beating down the Federal Reserve Governor is not going to get you what you want.”

In today’s interview with Daniela Cambone, Boockvar warns of rising global yields and why investors should “watch JGB yields every morning,” pointing to Japan as a key driver of long-term U.S. interest rates.

“There is an aversion to taking on too much duration in sovereign bond land... and that is a big deal.”

On gold, Boockvar explains why he expects another year of massive gold buying: “They are further diversifying their reserve holdings and want to own less dollars… Gold is now number two in that reserve pie.”

1929 Repeat as Credit Bubble Collapses

WTFinance:   7-28-2025

In a recent compelling episode of the ‘What the Finance’ (WTFinance) podcast, host Alfie Peppiatt featured renowned expert Alasdair Macleod, known for his incisive analysis of sound money, economics, geopolitics, and precious metals.

1929 Repeat as Credit Bubble Collapses

WTFinance:   7-28-2025

In a recent compelling episode of the ‘What the Finance’ (WTFinance) podcast, host Alfie Peppiatt featured renowned expert Alasdair Macleod, known for his incisive analysis of sound money, economics, geopolitics, and precious metals.

The discussion delivered a sobering assessment of the global financial landscape, drawing alarming parallels between today’s economic conditions and the precipice of the 1929 Great Depression.

Macleod meticulously detailed how a burgeoning credit and debt bubble is pushing economies worldwide towards an inevitable recession and a perilous debt trap.

At the heart of Macleod’s warning is the unprecedented scale of global government debt. He argues that escalating bond yields and the proliferation of tariffs are not merely symptoms but active drivers exacerbating fiscal stress, particularly within G7 nations which face widening deficits and shrinking tax bases.

 This precarious environment, he posits, poses grave risks to all financial assets, including equities and bonds, as the system struggles under the weight of its own liabilities.

Macleod underscored the profound fragility of the current financial system, which is intrinsically reliant on an ever-expanding credit base.

 He cautioned that a sustained rise in bond yields could trigger a swift and volatile collapse, a scenario for which central banks, he believes, possess no effective remedies. Their capacity to intervene is severely constrained by persistent inflation and the sheer magnitude of existing debt, leaving them caught between the impossible choices of high inflation or economic contraction.

The conversation also delved into the limitations of modern speculative assets. Macleod dismissed cryptocurrencies as fundamentally speculative, lacking the intrinsic qualities that define true money.

 In stark contrast, he championed physical gold and silver as “true, corporeal money” – assets with inherent value, free from counterparty risk, and historically proven as enduring stores of wealth, especially during times of financial turmoil.

Beyond the immediate economic indicators, Macleod’s analysis extended to the evolving geopolitical landscape. He highlighted the growing economic and political clout of nations like China and Russia, evidenced by their strategic initiatives such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and their systematic accumulation of commodities and gold.

This strategic foresight stands in stark contrast, he suggested, to what he perceives as significant economic policy mismanagement in Western nations, leaving them ill-prepared for the impending crisis. He also touched upon the political resistance to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) in the U.S. and their potential global implications, adding another layer of uncertainty to an already complex financial future.

Against this sobering backdrop, Macleod’s core advice for individuals and investors is unequivocal: “get out of credit.” He advocates safeguarding wealth by transitioning into real money – specifically physical gold and silver – and potentially considering resource-related equities.

He explicitly warns against chasing speculative assets or relying on government-backed credit instruments, urging vigilance and profound education on the inherent risks within our current monetary environment.

In essence, the WTFinance podcast episode, guided by Alasdair Macleod’s insights, paints a stark picture of a global economy teetering on the precipice. It’s a future shaped by unsustainable debt, credit fragility, profound geopolitical shifts, and pervasive monetary uncertainty.

His framework offers a critical lens through which to understand these challenges and provides actionable steps for wealth preservation amidst what he predicts will be unprecedented economic turbulence.

BRICS Countries’ GDP to Grow 3x Faster Than G7 by 2028

The global economic balance continues to shift as the BRICS bloc pulls ahead of the G7 in inflation-adjusted GDP growth projections. From 2025 to 2028, BRICS economies are expected to expand two to three times faster than their Western counterparts—signaling a fundamental reordering of international economic influence.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Countries’ GDP to Grow 3x Faster Than G7 by 2028

The global economic balance continues to shift as the BRICS bloc pulls ahead of the G7 in inflation-adjusted GDP growth projections. From 2025 to 2028, BRICS economies are expected to expand two to three times faster than their Western counterparts—signaling a fundamental reordering of international economic influence.

Key Forecast: BRICS Growth to Outpace G7 by 3x

According to 2025–2028 projections:

  • BRICS GDP growth (real terms): 4.2% – 5.1%

  • G7 GDP growth (real terms): 1.3% – 1.8%

This represents a 2x–3x growth multiple in favor of BRICS, affirming a long-term trend of momentum shifting toward emerging markets.

“The ‘Great Seven’ is not great anymore,” declared Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Chief of Russia’s Presidential Administration. “In the 1990s, G7 countries were twice the size of BRICS. Now BRICS has overtaken the G7 in terms of GDP volume.”

Breakdown: Projected Real GDP Growth by Country

G7 Nations

Country

Projected GDP Growth (2025–2028)

🇺🇸 United States 1.7% – 2.0%

🇯🇵 Japan 1.0% – 1.2%

🇩🇪 Germany 1.1% – 1.4%

🇬🇧 United Kingdom 1.2% – 1.5%

🇫🇷 France 1.3% – 1.6%

🇮🇹 Italy 0.8% – 1.2%

🇨🇦 Canada. 4% – 1.7%

Observation: All G7 countries remain below the 2% threshold, reflecting modest growth amid high debt levels, aging demographics, and policy headwinds.

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

BRICS+ Nations

Country

Projected GDP Growth (2025–2028)

🇮🇳 India 6.2% – 6.8%

🇨🇳 China 4.5% – 5.0%

🇮🇩 Indonesia 5.1% – 5.2%

🇪🇹 Ethiopia 5.5% – 6.0%

🇪🇬 Egypt 3.0% – 3.6%

🇦🇪 UAE 3.5% – 3.9%

🇮🇷 Iran 2.0% – 2.5%

🇧🇷 Brazil 2.0% – 2.3%

🇷🇺 Russia 1.5% – 2.2%

🇿🇦 South Africa 1.4% – 1.7%

Key Insight: Nine BRICS+ countries are forecast to surpass the 2% growth mark, while none of the G7 achieve this across the same period.

Strategic Implications

  • Geoeconomic Realignment: The growth trajectory of BRICS reflects a deeper realignment of production, trade, and demographic leverage—particularly favoring Asia and the Global South.

  • Currency and Policy Impact: With faster GDP growth and increasing trade conducted in local currencies, BRICS nations may strengthen calls for a multipolar financial system, reducing reliance on USD-centric global finance.

  • Global Institutions Challenged: Institutions dominated by G7 influence—such as the IMF, World Bank, and WTO—may face mounting pressure to adjust governance structures in favor of rising economies.

Conclusion

The projected threefold GDP growth advantage of BRICS over the G7 by 2028 is more than a data point—it’s a signal of global power in transition. As emerging economies accelerate development and deepen regional integration, the legacy economic order led by Western powers continues to cede ground.

For investors, policymakers, and analysts alike, tracking this divergence is now a strategic imperative.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein arrived in New York to participate in an international conference on the future of the Palestinian cause.

A statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA) stated that "Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein arrived in New York City to participate in a special international conference to discuss the future of the Palestinian cause and related developments on the regional and international arenas."

The conference, according to the statement, comes amid escalating challenges facing the Palestinian people.

During his visit, the minister is scheduled to hold a number of meetings with his counterparts, foreign ministers and international officials, to coordinate joint action in support of the Palestinian cause and strengthen the common Arab and Islamic position within the United Nations.  link

Tishwash:  Atwan al-Atwani Elected New Governor of Baghdad Following Council Vote

Two candidates were vying for the post: al-Atwani, head of the Iraqi parliament's finance committee, and Haider Mohan.

 Atwan al-Atwani was elected as the new governor of Baghdad on Sunday.

On the same day, Baghdad's provincial council convened to vote on the election of a new governor.

Two candidates were vying for the post: al-Atwani, head of the Iraqi parliament's finance committee, and Haider Mohan.

Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid stated on Saturday that Baghdad Governor Abdul Muttalib al-Alawi would retire and that a new governor needed to be appointed as soon as possible.

This marks the second time the governor of Baghdad has sought retirement; he previously applied on July 3 and was temporarily replaced by Mohan.  link

Tishwash:  Kurdistan is transforming into a new Iraq 

It's no surprise, with the Kurdistan Region of Iraq's employee salary crisis looming, that we hear numerous Iraqi Arab voices, from Arabs in Kurdistan and the central and southern parts of the country, calling on the government of Mohammed Shia al-Sudani via social media to end the crisis and pay the salaries of the region's employees.

It's no surprise to see, among these voices, those criticizing the federal government for its delay in addressing the crisis and sympathizing with the people of the region. They even sometimes remind Baghdad of the urban achievements, development, and prosperity achieved in the governorates of Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Dohuk, and even Halabja, compared to what has been achieved to date in other Iraqi governorates.

This is despite the fact that the region's budget is not even equivalent to the budget of a federal ministry such as the Ministry of Education! This praise has been documented in comparative terms, and visual facts about the conditions of Iraqi cities in terms of basic services have been published.

It's true that everyone is aware of rampant corruption in the Kurdistan Region, which is criticized daily by local media and even acknowledged by some influential officials. However, there are also reconstruction and service development projects, albeit limited compared to previous phases.

The gist is that Iraq today is witnessing the gradual birth of a different citizenry, a conscious being whose eyes are fixed on the country as a whole, comparing people's conditions with the logic of the state and the ruling class's commitment to managing the country's affairs in a way that satisfies citizens and achieves their minimum aspirations, even if corruption persists and oversight institutions fail to curb it.

Corrupt accountability

The starting point here is that the Kurdistan Regional Government, despite receiving only 12 percent of the general budget, has become a unique model in Iraq in terms of urban development, the provision of safe drinking water, the continuity of national electricity, the paving of streets, the construction of bridges, the opening of universities and hospitals, the development of villages, the establishment of summer resorts and parks, the paving of roads, and so on.

This development and prosperity are achieved despite persistent corruption and despite citizens' occasional widespread demonstrations and protests demanding services, the timely payment of salaries, and the accountability of corrupt officials. Criticism of the general situation is also increasing from opposition forces and the free media in the region, expressing their desire for further progress, given the region's wealth and resources, which would ensure the well-being of any citizen if distributed fairly and free from corruption, favoritism, and theft. In other words, the Iraqi Arab citizen's comparison of the reality of the central and southern governorates with the reality of the northern governorates reflects a new awareness of a citizen striving for a better life and wishing to remain in a geographical area where they feel safe, prosperous, and where the state is present, with a minimum sense of responsibility, so that they are not forced to emigrate and leave their homeland. Today, this citizen is the one who chooses to live in Iraqi Kurdistan, residing among his family and compatriots, working or investing. Therefore, it is not surprising that he praises what the rest of the country lacks.

 Another fact, which is not often mentioned, is that the number of Iraqi Arabs residing in Kurdistan today is approaching one million people! While some of them moved to the region for security reasons, this same group now prefers to remain there even if the security situation stabilizes in the areas they left. The other group chose to reside in Kurdistan voluntarily, not only in search of safety, but also because they feel there is an entity serving its citizens.

Today, this new Iraqi citizen is also contributing to the birth of a different Kurdistan, one that has become a different Iraq where everyone coexists in peace and harmony: Kurds and Arabs, Sunnis and Shiites, Christians and Turkmen, and all other sects and denominations. This alone is enough to bestow an authentic Iraqi character on Kurdistan, a character perhaps superior and better than that of the rest of the country, where coexistence, tolerance, and the building of a spirit of citizenship prevail.  link

Mon. 21 July 2025: PHASE TWO HAS BEGUN — TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER TO PERMANENTLY DISMANTLE THE IRS AND LAUNCH GOLD-BACKED CURRENCY PILOT THROUGH U.S. TREASURY … on Telegram

Just days after (allegedly) ripping $600 billion from the hands of the globalist tax cartel, President Trump has dropped the second hammer: a sweeping Executive Order to (allegedly) initiate the shutdown of the Internal Revenue Service as we know it — and replace it with a sovereign, asset-backed monetary system under full constitutional control.

Effective immediately, the IRS is(allegedly)  being stripped of its enforcement arms, foreign contracts, and offshore data routing infrastructure. Their legal immunity? Gone. Their backdoor ties to the World Bank and BIS? Cut. The agency once used to audit patriots, blackmail dissidents, and fund wars without consent is now being (allegedly) gutted from the inside. And this time, there’s no recovery plan.

At the heart of this new order is PatriotCoin — the codename for the gold-pegged transitional asset system being deployed under a secret joint operation (allegedly) between the U.S. Treasury and Space Force cyber teams. According to White Hat sources, this digital infrastructure runs on quantum-encrypted channels, fully sovereign, completely offline from the SWIFT network, and resistant to IMF interference. The coin is (allegedly) backed by audited reserves held at strategic vault sites recently repatriated from London, Basel, and Hong Kong.

But this isn’t crypto. This is (allegedly) anti-FED tech — tethered to tangible American resources, minted by a restored Treasury, and governed by GESARA protocols. The goal? To eliminate fractional lending, interest slaveery, and globalist banking dependency in one synchronized move.

Already, global markets are rattling. The ECB issued a Level 3 alert. The World Bank called for an emergency meeting. And the Rothschild family has reportedly begun liquidating foreign real estate in Zurich, Monaco, and South Africa. They know what’s coming. They always knew. But they never expected it would move this fast.

Meanwhile, across America, thousands of dormant gold and silver mines are being reopened under nationalized contracts, designed to sustain the upcoming hard currency transition. Trump’s team is (allegedly) coordinating with BRICS-aligned economists to ensure that PatriotCoin remains independent but interoperable with global de-dollarization movements — bypassing SWIFT and shutting the door on CBDC tyranny.

The trap was always economic. The war was always spiritual. But the takedown is now fully kinetic.

IRS dismantled. Federal Reserve under seizure. Gold-backed currency underway. This is not a drill. This is the Return of the Republic — and the final death of globalist finance. The Great Reversal has begun.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Trump Sets 15% Tariff Floor for EU Imports

As global trade dynamics shift under increasing geopolitical strain, President Donald Trump has drawn a hard red line in upcoming negotiations with the European Union. No EU exports will face tariffs lower than 15%, a move that could have significant ripple effects across strategic sectors including digital technology, pharmaceuticals, and blockchain infrastructure.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Trump Sets 15% Tariff Floor for EU Imports

As global trade dynamics shift under increasing geopolitical strain, President Donald Trump has drawn a hard red line in upcoming negotiations with the European Union. No EU exports will face tariffs lower than 15%, a move that could have significant ripple effects across strategic sectors including digital technology, pharmaceuticals, and blockchain infrastructure.

Key Points:

  • Trump: “No customs duty below 15%” for EU exports to the U.S.

  • Announcement comes ahead of high-stakes meeting with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland.

  • Pharmaceuticals explicitly excluded from upcoming trade agreement.

  • August 1st set as the firm negotiation deadline for both sides.

Trump Signals End of Trade Flexibility

In a statement delivered on Sunday, July 27, Trump firmly rejected any preferential treatment for EU goods. Framing the decision as a matter of economic sovereignty, he described the upcoming deal as “very powerful, very large, the biggest of all agreements”—but only on U.S. terms.

“The EU will not benefit from customs duties below 15%,” Trump declared, in what many analysts interpret as an attempt to force the EU into a take-it-or-leave-it position.

The tariff proposal marks a decisive shift from past U.S. administrations’ more collaborative trade frameworks. Instead, it signals a transactional, pressure-based model that could realign transatlantic relations for years to come.

Highlights of Trump’s Trade Position:

  • 15% Tariff Minimum: Applies broadly to EU goods, with no exemptions beyond pharmaceuticals.

  • Exclusion of Pharmaceuticals: Medical products will not be covered under the proposed deal, hinting at separate bilateral arrangements.

  • Non-Negotiable Deadline: The August 1st cutoff is binding and applies universally, further constraining EU leverage.

  • Zero-Sum Diplomacy: Trump frames the deal not as cooperation, but as a contest of economic strength.

Strategic Implications for Europe’s Digital Future

While tariffs dominate headlines, Trump’s stance casts a longer shadow over the EU’s digital and blockchain sectors. His rhetoric suggests a broader effort to limit European access to the U.S. market—a move that could dramatically impact innovation, competitiveness, and cross-border tech partnerships.

Firms likely to be affected include:

  • Ledger, a prominent crypto wallet provider;

  • Sovereign cloud infrastructure companies, integral to EU data sovereignty;

  • Blockchain firms involved in Web3, stablecoin issuance, and tokenized asset markets.

If enacted, the tariff floor could erode cost advantages for EU tech companies, placing them at a disadvantage to U.S. rivals protected by a highly favorable domestic environment. Meanwhile, transatlantic regulatory harmonization projects—from digital identity frameworks to stablecoin policy coordination—could stall under the weight of trade tensions.

Deal or No Deal? 50/50 Odds and Rising Pressure

Trump underscored the high stakes, noting there's only a “50-50 chance” of any trade agreement being reached. This calculated ambiguity, paired with the rigid August 1st deadline, forms part of a broader maximum-pressure negotiation playbook.

“The August 1st deadline is the same for everyone,” Trump warned—an assertion designed to minimize EU bargaining power and maximize U.S. leverage in the short window remaining.

With strategic sectors at risk, the EU must now choose between two difficult options: accept the Trump administration’s terms or face a potentially destabilizing trade standoff.

Key US Economic Events This Week: What They Mean for Bitcoin and Altcoins

With several major U.S. economic events lined up this week—including the FOMC policy meetingQ2 GDP data, and the July jobs report—investors in Bitcoin and altcoins are closely watching for signals that could shift market sentiment.

Why It Matters for Crypto

The U.S. economy and digital asset markets are increasingly intertwined. While traditional markets showed modest growth last week (+1.21%), the crypto market declined by 1.66%, reflecting macro uncertainty. This week’s economic calendar could further influence risk appetite and volatility in crypto markets.

Key Economic Events to Watch

1. FOMC Meeting (July 29–30, 2025)

Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference on July 30 will follow the two-day meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee.

  • Expected Interest Rate Range: 4.25% – 4.50% (no change)

  • Inflation Data: Up for second straight month — 2.7% in June

  • Initial Jobless Claims: Fell to 217,000 from 221,000

Potential Crypto Impact:

  • If the Fed stays cautious and avoids any dovish hints, crypto prices may trade flat or consolidate.

  • However, persistent inflation could make Bitcoin and other digital assets more appealing as inflation hedges.

2. Q2 GDP Estimate (July 30, 2025)

The advance estimate of second-quarter U.S. GDP is also due Wednesday.

  • Q1 2025 GDP: -0.5% contraction

  • Q2 Consensus: +2.5% rebound

Potential Crypto Impact:

  • strong GDP rebound could delay any monetary easing, muting crypto rallies.

  • Yet, signs of economic resilience might boost overall investor confidence across risk markets, including altcoins.

3. Non-Farm Payrolls & Unemployment Rate (August 1, 2025)

Friday’s July employment report is likely to be a major market mover.

  • June NFP: 147,000

  • Consensus for July: 102,000

  • Unemployment Rate (June): 4.1% → Expected July: 4.2%

Potential Crypto Impact:

  • Weaker job growth and a rising unemployment rate could fuel expectations of Fed rate cuts, favoring crypto.

  • In previous cycles, poor labor data has sparked bullish momentum in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and mid-cap altcoins.

Summary of Potential Market Reactions

Indicator

Result Impact

Crypto Market Outlook

Fed Keeps Rates Steady

Neutral/Hawkish

Consolidation or mild downside

GDP Beats Expectations

Strong Economy Signal

Mixed: Limits rate cuts, but boosts sentiment

Job Market Weakens

Rate Cut Signal

Bullish for crypto as risk appetite returns

Final Takeaway

In an environment shaped by inflation, labor market shifts, and GDP surprises, crypto markets are no longer insulated from traditional macro forces. With the Fed’s tone becoming more nuanced, Bitcoin and altcoins could see both headwinds and tailwinds depending on how these key indicators land.

Smart investors will position accordingly—balancing short-term caution with long-term conviction in blockchain-based assets.

Senate Democrats Probe FHFA 

Senate Democrats Probe FHFA Over Crypto-Backed Mortgage Proposal

A group of Senate Democrats is demanding answers from Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte following his directive for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to explore how cryptocurrency holdings might be considered in mortgage risk assessmentswithout requiring conversion into U.S. dollars.

Democrats Seek Answers on Risk and Oversight

In a letter led by Senator Jeff Merkley and co-signed by Elizabeth WarrenBernie SandersChris Van Hollen, and Mazie Hirono, the lawmakers request detailed clarification on the plan’s intent, risks, and implications for the U.S. housing market and financial system.

“We need to fully assess the potential risks and benefits of your order,” the senators wrote, citing fears that integrating crypto into federally-backed mortgages could pose serious safety and soundness concerns.

Pulte's Directive Sparks Concern

Last month, Pulte instructed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prepare proposals on how crypto assets could factor into single-family mortgage loan approvals, signaling a potential shift in mortgage underwriting standards.

Under current FHFA policy, crypto assets must be converted to U.S. dollars before being considered in any mortgage evaluation. Pulte’s proposal would remove that requirement.

Crypto Volatility and Consumer Risk

The senators emphasized that crypto’s high volatility, lack of liquidity, and exposure to scams, cyberattacks, and theft could place borrowers at greater risk of default:

“Borrowers may not be able to exit a crypto position and convert to cash at a price that would allow them to buffer against the risk of mortgage default.”

They also warned that homeowners could lose crypto assets without any realistic path to recovery, highlighting the heightened consumer risk this policy could introduce.

Conflict of Interest Allegations

The letter raises additional alarms about potential conflicts of interest:

  • Pulte’s spouse reportedly holds up to $2 million in crypto assets.

  • He serves as chair of both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s boards, which are responsible for approving any crypto-related proposals.

  • The senators accuse him of “stacking” the boards with crypto industry allies, undermining the objectivity of any decision-making process.

The Democrats also flagged President Trump’s deep involvement in the crypto industry, citing links to crypto mining operationsstablecoinstrading platforms, and memecoins—suggesting that political influence could further skew the policy’s development.

Lack of Transparency and Process

Lawmakers criticized the FHFA’s directive as vague and opaque, providing no clear process for:

  • Developing and evaluating the crypto proposal

  • Gathering public or industry feedback

  • Assessing market or consumer risk

They stressed the need for “clarity on this order,” especially in light of the FHFA’s alleged failures to oversee crypto exposure in the 2023 banking crisis, where three crypto-linked banks collapsed amid liquidity concerns.

Precedent and Institutional Hesitation

The senators noted that Fannie Mae itself concluded in a 2021 internal review that using crypto or stablecoins as collateral or payment vehicles was the least appealing application of blockchain in housing finance.

Despite that, Pulte’s directive now reopens the conversation, prompting lawmakers to ask for:

  • All communications regarding crypto policy

  • FHFA’s process for approving the directive

  • Pulte’s plans to recuse himself from potential conflicts of interest

Conclusion

While some view crypto integration into traditional finance as inevitable, this Senate inquiry underscores the deep skepticism within parts of the U.S. government regarding crypto’s stability, transparency, and suitability for long-term housing finance. The FHFA has until August 7 to formally respond.

Finance Log:  7-26-2025

China is rapidly advancing a complex and multi-layered gold acquisition strategy that is quietly but decisively reshaping the global financial order.

Renowned precious metals analyst Andrew Maguire emphasizes that Beijing’s ambitions extend far beyond simply hedging against the fluctuations of the U.S. dollar.

 Instead, China is strategically positioning gold as the cornerstone of a new multipolar financial system—one that is firmly backed by tangible assets and designed to operate independently from Western financial institutions and sanctions.

Over the last decade, China has methodically shifted vast quantities of physical gold away from dominant Western paper markets, including London and COMEX, transferring these reserves into tightly controlled domestic vaults, state-owned banks, and military-related entities.

BRICS Trade Settlements Shift Away from USD: 50% Now in Chinese Yuan

A growing share of BRICS trade is being settled in local currencies, with the Chinese yuan emerging as the leading alternative to the US dollar. According to a recent report from the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF), over 50% of intra-BRICS transactions are now conducted in yuan—a clear signal that the bloc’s de-dollarization efforts are accelerating.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Trade Settlements Shift Away from USD: 50% Now in Chinese Yuan

A growing share of BRICS trade is being settled in local currencies, with the Chinese yuan emerging as the leading alternative to the US dollar. According to a recent report from the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF), over 50% of intra-BRICS transactions are now conducted in yuan—a clear signal that the bloc’s de-dollarization efforts are accelerating.

Yuan Gains Ground Within BRICS Bloc

China is actively promoting the use of its currency within the BRICS alliance to settle trade deals, bypassing reliance on the US dollar. OMFIF data shows:

  • 50% of intra-BRICS transactions are now settled in the Chinese yuan;

  • 80% of Russia’s trade is conducted in national currencies such as the yuan and ruble;

  • India and Russia previously executed crude oil trades in rupees and rubles, bypassing the USD.

India alone reportedly saved more than $7 billion in foreign exchange fees through these non-dollar oil trades with Russia before President Trump returned to office in January.

Local Currency Use Rises, But USD Still Dominates Globally

While these intra-BRICS developments are notable, they must be understood in a broader global context:

  • The yuan accounts for just 2% of global cross-border payment activity;

  • The US dollar remains dominant, used in 88% of all international foreign exchange transactions.

Despite China’s push to internationalize the yuan, its global influence remains limited compared to the dollar. The shift within BRICS, while significant regionally, has not yet translated into a broader global trend.

Political Considerations and Strategic Positioning

The move toward local currency settlements is also being driven by political considerations:

  • China, Russia, and Iran are increasingly turning to non-dollar transactions to shield their economies from US sanctions;

  • The use of the yuan allows these nations to reduce their exposure to US financial pressure and trade restrictions.

However, this approach is not uniformly embraced across the bloc. India, for example, has distanced itself from the de-dollarization agenda in recent months. Amid concerns over potential US tariffs under the Trump administration, India has issued multiple public statements reaffirming its commitment to using the US dollar in trade.

A Fragmented Future for Global Settlements?

The shift in BRICS trade settlements suggests a growing regional preference for currency diversification. But despite the yuan’s growing role within the bloc, the global monetary system remains firmly anchored to the dollar.

The BRICS de-dollarization agenda may be gaining momentum in isolated corridors, but broader adoption still faces structural, geopolitical, and liquidity-based hurdles. For now, the greenback remains unchallenged on the world stage.

Tishwash:  ‘My Account’ Project Enrolls 800,000 Public Employees in Push Toward Full Banking Access

The project team confirmed that all remaining public employees across the Kurdistan Region will soon be onboarded, ensuring access to modern banking services for the entire public workforce

The Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) digital financial inclusion initiative, “My Account” (Hezhmary Min), announced on Saturday that over 800,000 public sector employees have now registered in the project and obtained personal bank accounts.

According to a statement, the project team confirmed that all remaining public employees across the Kurdistan Region will soon be onboarded, ensuring access to modern banking services for the entire public workforce.

The announcement follows a significant milestone reached earlier on Thursday, when the project revealed that the salaries of thousands of employees in key ministries—including Health, Education, and Higher Education—had been successfully transferred to their personal bank accounts for the first time.

Additionally, more than 8,000 retirees in the provinces of Duhok, Erbil, and Sulaimani have now received their pensions via personal bank accounts and can access their funds through over 400 ATMs distributed across the region.

The My Account initiative is a central part of the KRG’s efforts to build a more modern and transparent financial system by shifting from cash-based to digital salary payments. It aims to empower individuals by offering broader access to financial services, improving financial literacy, and strengthening economic infrastructure.

Officials say the project offers increased financial autonomy and security, giving every salary recipient in the region the opportunity to manage their finances independently and access a wide range of banking tools previously unavailable to many. link

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

Tishwash:  June salaries will be sent soon, and a representative adds: Unless...

Iraqi parliament member Sarwa Mohammed, representing the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), revealed that the federal government will soon send June salaries to the Kurdistan Region, barring an emergency.

“Currently, the Iraqi Ministry of Finance is reviewing the June payroll for Kurdistan Region employees,” Mohammed said in a statement followed by Al-Masry.

She added, "If there are no technical or political obstacles, and the region and Baghdad adhere to their agreement, Baghdad will send July salaries to the Kurdistan Region within a short period."

In a related development, a source in the Kurdistan Regional Government's Ministry of Finance and Economy announced that the ministry will send non-oil revenues to Baghdad this week. The payroll and audit balance sheets were also previously sent to the Iraqi Ministry of Finance  link

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

Tishwash:  Digital transformation is essential to address the liquidity crisis in Iraq.

In a move that reflects a growing awareness of the importance of financial modernization, the Prime Minister's Financial Advisor, Dr. Mazhar Mohammed Salih, emphasized that digital transformation in financial transactions is no longer a technical option, but rather an urgent economic necessity to address liquidity challenges and achieve stability in the Iraqi financial system.

In a statement monitored by Al-Mustaqilla, Saleh noted that Iraq ranks third in the Arab world in terms of the number of bank cards issued, reflecting clear progress in developing the financial infrastructure and increasing confidence in government measures to address digital transformation.

He explained that the shift to electronic payments not only contributes to reducing reliance on cash, but also plays a pivotal role in introducing liquidity into official channels and enhancing transparency and financial oversight—essential goals for building a modern, more crisis-resistant economy.

Despite the progress, Salih stressed that Iraq still faces significant challenges, most notably weak trust in banks, bureaucracy, and fear of oversight. He called for overcoming these obstacles by developing digital infrastructure and providing direct incentives for citizens to use electronic payment methods.

These statements come at a time when the Iraqi government is working to accelerate financial inclusion by requiring government institutions and private sector companies to adopt electronic payments, reflecting a strategic direction toward a more transparent and sustainable digital economy.

Abstract: The financial advisor's statement indicates that digital transformation is not merely a technological development, but rather a comprehensive economic strategy aimed at addressing the structural challenges in the Iraqi financial system, which requires political will, a secure banking environment, and increased community trust.  link

Trump Era Sparks Crypto Lobbying Boom: 27 Firms Make History With First-Time Filings

The U.S. crypto industry is rapidly mobilizing its political influence, with at least 27 companies and advocacy groups filing first-time federal lobbying disclosures in recent months. The shift, detailed in a new report by The Hill, marks an aggressive move by digital asset firms to help shape the future of regulation under a more favorable political environment.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Trump Era Sparks Crypto Lobbying Boom: 27 Firms Make History With First-Time Filings

The U.S. crypto industry is rapidly mobilizing its political influence, with at least 27 companies and advocacy groups filing first-time federal lobbying disclosures in recent months. The shift, detailed in a new report by The Hill, marks an aggressive move by digital asset firms to help shape the future of regulation under a more favorable political environment.

Lobbying Intensifies Amid Regulatory Momentum

According to the report, crypto newcomers—including firms in NFTs, prediction markets, and gaming—have poured nearly $2.8 million into lobbying efforts between April and June 2025. Their lobbying targets include the Treasury DepartmentSecurities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and other key federal regulators.

In total, 73 crypto companies and associations were active in Washington during this period, spending a combined $11.4 million on lobbying.

Notably, Seychelles-based exchange KuCoin led all new participants, spending $1 million despite being barred from the U.S. market for at least two years due to prior regulatory violations.

Policy Wins: GENIUS and CLARITY Acts Lead the Way

The surge in political activity coincides with the passage of the GENIUS Act, a bipartisan bill establishing a federal framework for fiat-backed stablecoins. This legislation is viewed as a significant victory for the crypto lobby and has paved the way for further efforts.

The House has also advanced several additional bills during what some dubbed “crypto week,” including:

  • The CLARITY Act, offering a legal structure for broader crypto asset regulation.

  • An Anti-CBDC bill, which aims to prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing its own central bank digital currency.

These developments reflect the industry’s shift from defensive regulatory positioning to proactive legislative engagement.

Beyond Bitcoin: Expanding Industry Footprint

Lobbying disclosures reveal a wide array of crypto use cases behind the push for favorable policy:

  • Bitdeer Technologies, focused on Bitcoin mining, is working to address energy and currency concerns.

  • Polymarket (operating as Blockratize) promotes crypto-based betting markets for real-world events.

  • Gala Games gained attention for sponsoring the White House’s Easter Egg Roll, positioning crypto gaming in the national spotlight.

The Solana Policy Institute’s CEO, Miller Whitehouse-Levine, emphasized that the challenge isn’t technological innovation—but navigating legacy legal frameworks.

“The pendulum has swung from one extreme to another,” Whitehouse-Levine said. “We need regulatory consistency that allows innovation to flourish without overcorrecting in either direction.”

Looking Ahead: Senate Holds the Key

The crypto sector is now lobbying the U.S. Senate to take up the CLARITY Act, which could solidify federal oversight and classification of crypto firms. Industry leaders are also backing continued restrictions on a federal CBDC, aligning with broader concerns about government-controlled digital currencies.

As the political climate continues to evolve, the Trump administration’s deregulatory stance has emboldened the industry. But advocates remain cautious, hoping to avoid the policy whiplash that defined earlier years.

The message from the crypto sector is clear: They’re here to shape the rules—before the rules shape them.

Public Debt Donations Go Digital: U.S. Treasury Now Accepts Venmo and PayPal

In a notable intersection of consumer fintech and public finance, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has authorized citizens to contribute directly toward reducing the national debt using payment platforms Venmo and PayPal. The decision modernizes a decades-old initiative and reflects an evolving strategy in citizen engagement amid record-high federal debt levels.

A New Interface for an Old Program

The update comes under the “Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt” program, which has existed since 1996 but has gained little attention or traction. Since inception, the program has raised only $67.3 million—an amount that is negligible when compared to the current $36.7 trillion national debt.

According to the Treasury:

  • Citizens can now make voluntary debt-reduction donations via Pay.gov using PayPal or Venmo;

  • The debt has increased 87 percent since 2010, when it stood at $19.59 trillion;

  • The initiative aims to make public contributions more accessible, particularly for younger, tech-savvy users accustomed to mobile payment systems.

While the move brings convenience and visibility to a long-overlooked program, reactions from financial experts have been skeptical.

Samson Mow, CEO of bitcoin infrastructure firm JAN3, dismissed the measure as symbolic. "It's like sending bitcoin to a burn address," he remarked, suggesting the donations have no meaningful impact on fiscal sustainability.

Fiscal Policy in the Spotlight

The new donation pathway also comes as national debate intensifies over the fiscal implications of former President Donald Trump's proposed tax reform, dubbed the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects the bill could add $3.4 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade.

This trajectory has drawn strong criticism from both public figures and economists. Elon Musk has openly criticized the move to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, while hedge fund manager Ray Dalio warned that the U.S. is on an unsustainable fiscal path.

“We are spending 40 percent more than our income,” Dalio said, warning of the risk of a “deadly debt spiral” if major reforms are not enacted. He estimates the probability of a “financial trauma” due to a loss of confidence in U.S. debt now exceeds 50 percent.

To stabilize the situation, he recommends cutting the deficit from nearly 7 percent of GDP to just 3 percent, through a combination of spending reductions and increased tax revenues.

Government Response and Revenue Projections

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in contrast, has taken a more optimistic tone. He asserts that Trump’s fiscal plan will produce net benefits over the long term, particularly due to new tariffs projected to raise $2.8 trillion over the next ten years. He also claimed that customs duties could bring in $300 billion this year alone—nearly 1 percent of GDP—and cited a reported budget surplus in June as evidence of positive momentum.

Nonetheless, the fundamental structural challenges remain. While enabling Venmo and PayPal donations is a notable technological step, it does little to address the deeper issues shaping the country’s fiscal trajectory: rising entitlement costs, political polarization, and diminishing global confidence in the U.S. dollar’s primacy.

As the national debt continues to grow and the world watches U.S. fiscal policy evolve, the core issue is no longer whether the debt is sustainable—but how much longer it can be sustained.

HKMA Signals Caution on Stablecoin Licensing Amid Market Euphoria

As Hong Kong's new stablecoin legislation is set to come into effect on August 1, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is moving to temper industry expectations. Amid a surge of interest from firms eager to enter the stablecoin market, HKMA CEO Eddie Yue has cautioned that only a small number of licenses will be granted initially—and that even licensed entities will face stringent compliance burdens.

Stablecoin Rules Take Effect as Market Activity Surges

The legislation, passed in May, has already triggered a spike in stock prices and token valuations following announcements from various firms with stablecoin ambitions. However, the HKMA is taking steps to curb what it sees as excessive optimism and speculative behavior.

Eddie Yue warned of the need to “further rein in the euphoria,” emphasizing that:

  • Only a limited number of stablecoin licenses will be issued at the outset;

  • Most applicants are likely to be disappointed;

  • Priority may be given to firms already involved in the HKMA’s Stablecoin Sandbox.

Participants in the sandbox include notable entities such as a consortium led by Standard Chartered, JD Coinlink (a subsidiary of Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com), and RD InnoTech. However, Yue made it clear that even priority status does not guarantee approval.

Profitability, Scaling, and Compliance Challenges

Yue also cast doubt on the immediate profitability of early stablecoin ventures. This is partly due to the impending rollout of robust anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, which are expected to go live alongside the licensing framework next week.

In his view:

  • The new rules will introduce “stringent regulatory requirements”;

  • These rules will “inevitably limit the room for stablecoin businesses to scale rapidly in the short term”;

  • Discussions around stablecoins often remain “idealistic,” lacking concrete, commercially viable use cases.

Yue noted that dozens of companies have contacted the HKMA to discuss stablecoin initiatives. Yet most of the proposals remain conceptual, lacking technical depth and clear risk management strategies. Some firms, he observed, might benefit from partnering with more experienced entities to navigate the complex regulatory landscape.

Licensing Process to Launch in August

The HKMA is expected to formally unveil its stablecoin license application process next week. While Hong Kong’s regulatory approach is seen as a step forward in establishing clear digital asset frameworks, the cautious tone from regulators underscores the city's emphasis on compliance, risk control, and market stability.

As firms continue to explore the stablecoin space, Hong Kong’s measured rollout signals a deliberate effort to foster innovation—without compromising the integrity of the financial system.

Trump-Powell Explodes, Why Slashing Rates Now Would be a Disaster

Trump-Powell Explodes, Why Slashing Rates Now Would be a Disaster

Daniela Cambone:  7-25-2025

In a world grappling with persistent inflation and market uncertainty, Todd “Bubba” Horwitz, founder of BubbaTrading.com, has issued a striking forecast for gold, suggesting the precious metal could soar close to $4,000 by the end of 2025.

Today, in an insightful interview with Daniela Cambone on ITM Trading, Horwitz elaborated on his bullish stance, contending that gold and silver are far more than mere inflation hedges; they are essential “lifeboats” in an increasingly manipulated financial landscape.

Trump-Powell Explodes, Why Slashing Rates Now Would be a Disaster

Daniela Cambone:  7-25-2025

In a world grappling with persistent inflation and market uncertainty, Todd “Bubba” Horwitz, founder of BubbaTrading.com, has issued a striking forecast for gold, suggesting the precious metal could soar close to $4,000 by the end of 2025.

Today, in an insightful interview with Daniela Cambone on ITM Trading, Horwitz elaborated on his bullish stance, contending that gold and silver are far more than mere inflation hedges; they are essential “lifeboats” in an increasingly manipulated financial landscape.

According to Horwitz, the current inflationary pressures are not transient. “This inflation is not going away,” he asserted, painting a stark picture of an economic environment where the purchasing power of traditional currencies continues to erode.

He squarely placed accountability on the Federal Reserve, criticizing its interventions. “The Federal Reserve is doing everything but letting free markets work,” Horwitz stated, implying that the central bank’s actions are distorting natural market mechanisms and exacerbating underlying issues.

A significant concern for Horwitz is the potential for premature interest rate cuts. He issued a grave warning, suggesting that such a move could “destroy the market system as you know it.” In his view, the delicate balance of the financial system is at risk, and ill-timed policy decisions could trigger widespread instability.

In this climate of economic uncertainty and perceived market manipulation, Horwitz’s advice to average Americans is clear and resounding: seek refuge in real assets.

He passionately argued that only commodities like gold and silver can offer true protection against a “broken financial system.” For Horwitz, these precious metals aren’t just investments; they are fundamental safeguards against systemic vulnerabilities.

His projection for gold reaching near $4,000 is not just an optimistic outlook but a reflection of gold’s growing importance as a safe haven asset in an environment characterized by unchecked inflation and a lack of faith in institutional interventions.

As Horwitz sees it, the trajectory of gold is inextricably linked to the ongoing fragility of the global financial system.

For a deeper dive into Bubba Horwitz’s insights on market manipulation, the Federal Reserve’s policies, and the vital role of precious metals in safeguarding wealth, the full video from ITM Trading with Daniela Cambone is highly recommended.
