Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Crypto News: GENIUS, CLARITY, and Anti-CBDC Acts Set for September Senate Vote

The U.S. Congress is advancing multiple pieces of digital asset legislation, setting the stage for a pivotal September in crypto regulation. Following the GENIUS Act’s enactment, three major bills—the CLARITY Act, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, and the Senate Crypto Market Structure Bill—are now awaiting action in the Senate.

GENIUS Act – Stablecoin Oversight in Place

The GENIUS Act, already signed into law by President Donald Trump, establishes the first federal framework for stablecoins. Lawmakers, however, are pushing for stricter anti-money laundering provisions and tighter restrictions on foreign issuers.

Under the legislation, only banks, federally qualified fintech firms, and state-regulated entities meeting strict compliance standards will be authorized to issue stablecoins. The law also mandates enhanced transparency, audits, and anti-financial crime controls.

CLARITY Act – Defining Market Structure

The CLARITY Act seeks to bring order to the digital asset market by:

• Defining new asset categories,

• Clarifying oversight roles between regulators, and

• Providing investor protections.

The Senate Banking Committee aims to finalize the bill by September 30, 2025. Proponents argue that the Act will reduce regulatory uncertainty, foster innovation, and safeguard consumers.

Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act – Blocking Retail CBDCs

The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act would prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing, researching, or building a retail central bank digital currency without explicit Congressional approval. The bill will be debated in the Senate during September as part of a broader financial regulation package.

Senate Crypto Market Structure Bill – Responsible Innovation

Also known as the Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025, this bill is expected to move through the Senate Banking Committee by the end of September. Committee Chairman Tim Scott has signaled his intent to advance the SEC-focused provisions of the legislation by September 30, 2025.

Outlook for September

September is shaping up to be a turning point for U.S. digital asset policy. With the GENIUS Act already law and three additional bills nearing passage, Congress is setting a clearer framework for crypto markets.

Investors and stablecoin issuers are closely watching developments, as the outcome will determine which entities can legally issue stablecoins and how the broader digital asset ecosystem will operate under new compliance standards.

Dollar Stability Under Fire as Trump Moves Against Federal Reserve

President Donald Trump’s removal of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has intensified debate over the U.S. dollar’s reliability as the world’s reserve currency—and raised questions about whether Bitcoin could eventually emerge as an alternative.

Trump’s Move Against the Fed

In a letter released by the White House, Trump accused Cook of making false statements on mortgage agreements and declared her immediate removal.

Cook has refused to step down, stating that “no cause exists under the law” for her dismissal and asserting that the President has “no authority” to remove her.

Dollar Stability in Question

The Federal Reserve’s independence has long been considered the foundation of U.S. monetary strength. Analysts warn that political interference threatens to:

• Undermine investor confidence,

• Increase volatility in the dollar,

• Weaken its reserve status globally, and

• Heighten the risk of recession.

Alex Obchakevich of Obchakevich Research argued that politicizing the Fed undermines economic stability and could accelerate the search for alternatives to the dollar.

Bitcoin as a Long-Term Challenger

When asked if Bitcoin could benefit, Obchakevich noted that while it is not yet a near-term replacement, continued instability at the Fed could strengthen Bitcoin’s role as a hedge and erode the dollar’s long-term dominance as the global reserve currency.

Trump’s Broader Clashes with the Fed

This dispute follows earlier confrontations between Trump and Fed Chair Jerome Powell. In April, Trump accused Powell of cutting rates too slowly and suggested firing him—a move that drew sharp criticism from market participants and lawmakers, who warned it would shatter investor confidence.

Outlook

Trump’s unprecedented attempt to remove a sitting Fed governor is likely to trigger a legal showdown and heighten global scrutiny of the dollar. As the world watches, markets are weighing whether this instability will reinforce Bitcoin’s narrative as a politically neutral, alternative store of value.

RWA and Tokenized Equities: Market Growth Meets Regulatory Caution

Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and tokenized equities are two of the fastest-growing segments in digital finance, with forecasts projecting multi-trillion-dollar market potential. Yet, alongside the optimism, regulators are warning that risks tied to investor protections, custody, and market integrity must be addressed before mass adoption can take place.

RWA Tokenization on Path to $16 Trillion by 2030

According to the 2025 Skynet RWA Security Report, the global tokenization market could expand to $16 trillion by 2030.

• Tokenized U.S. Treasuries are leading adoption, projected to reach $4.2 billion in 2025, driven largely by short-term government bonds.

• Institutional investors are exploring tokenization for debt instruments, commodities, private credit, and trade finance, citing advantages in yield generation, liquidity, and operational efficiency.

• Money market funds and private credit are emerging as early use cases, with the convergence of traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) providing greater transparency and accessibility.

Challenges remain, including fragmented regulation, cybersecurity concerns, and limited liquidity for secondary trading. Skynet stresses the need for federally chartered crypto banks and licensed custodians to secure institutional trust.

Tokenized Equities Could Hit $1.3 Trillion

Parallel to the RWA trend, tokenized equities are gaining momentum. Platforms such as Robinhood, Kraken, and Gemini now offer tokenized versions of U.S.-traded stocks.

• Binance Research estimates the market could reach $1.3 trillion if even 1% of global equities are tokenized.

• Current adoption is still limited, with RWA.xyz reporting about $360 million in market capitalization.

However, unlike traditional shares, tokenized equities typically provide only synthetic exposure to stock performance without conferring voting rights or dividend entitlements.

Regulatory Concerns and Calls for Clarity

The World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) has urged regulators to strengthen oversight of tokenized equities, warning that:

• Investors may be misled into believing they hold full shareholder rights,

• Failures in the sector could damage the reputation of listed companies, and

• Broader market confidence could suffer if protections are not reinforced.

In a letter to the SEC, ESMA, and IOSCO, the WFE called for securities laws to be expanded to cover tokenized assets, with clear rules on ownership, custody, and promotion.

Meanwhile, jurisdictions such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and the U.S. are already developing tokenization frameworks that address custody, risk management, and investor protection.

Outlook

Both RWA tokenization and tokenized equities show strong potential to reshape capital markets by blending blockchain-native liquidity with real-world assets. Yet, as regulators emphasize, the path forward requires:

• Global regulatory alignment,

• Infrastructure investment, and

• Transparent investor protections.

If these conditions are met, tokenization could not only reach trillions in value but also establish itself as a transformative force in global finance.

“Tidbits From TNT” Tuesday Morning 8-26-2025

TNT:

Tishwash: The Pentagon to Shafaq News: We are committed to ending our combat presence in Iraq and have new missions for our bases.

A US Department of Defense official said on Monday that Washington continues to review and adjust its force posture in Iraq "as appropriate" and in line with the mission of the international coalition to defeat ISIS in Iraq.

The official added to Shafaq News Agency that Washington "is committed to ending the coalition's military mission inside Iraq by September 2025, and we will continue to support operations to defeat ISIS in Syria from bases inside Iraq until September 2026."

He pointed out that after the end of the transitional period, "the United States will continue a bilateral security cooperation relationship with Iraq."

In September 2024, Baghdad and Washington agreed to end the coalition's military mission in Iraq by September 2025, while continuing to support operations against ISIS in Syria until 2026.

The first phase of the withdrawal actually began with a convoy leaving Ain al-Asad base for Syria at the beginning of the week, with some forces being transferred to Erbil and Kuwait, with the number gradually reduced from approximately 2,000 to less than 500 soldiers by September 2026.  link

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

Tishwash:  Al-Mashhadani and the US Chargé d'Affaires discuss the mechanism for reducing the number of troops at Al-Assad Air Base.

Parliament Speaker Mahmoud Al Mashhadani received Ambassador Stephen Fagin, Chargé d'Affaires of the US Mission to Iraq, in his official office today.

During the meeting, according to a statement from the Speaker of Parliament's office, a copy of which was received by {Euphrates News}, the mechanism for reducing the number of troops at Ain al-Assad base and shifting the work to a limited bilateral framework within the Kurdistan Region was discussed, in line with the requirements of the reality on the ground, in a way that enhances national sovereignty and reflects the security stability achieved in the country.

President Al-Mashhadani stressed that sustainable security stability cannot be achieved without economic prosperity, emphasizing the importance of American companies entering the Iraqi market to support the private sector and provide extensive job opportunities for the national workforce.

The two sides also emphasized the strength of the relationship between Iraq and the United States, and their keenness to develop it in a way that serves common interests and enhances cooperation in the political, economic, and security fields.

The meeting concluded with an emphasis on the importance of developing Iraq's relations with its neighbors as a cornerstone of enhancing regional stability and helping to consolidate the principles of good neighborliness, serving the future of Iraq and the peoples of the region.  link

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

Tishwash:  Trade and investment agreements to improve the business environment

The Iraqi Ministry of Trade has concluded a number of trade, economic, and investment agreements with relevant authorities in three foreign countries, affirming Iraq's readiness to provide all necessary facilities to create a stable and investment-friendly economic environment.

The ministry's official spokesman, Mohammed Hanoun, told Al-Sabah: "The signed agreements aim to stimulate economic cooperation between Iraq and a number of countries, and open new channels for exchanging expertise and investments."

He explained that the agreements with Serbia covered the fields of trade, economy, and investment, particularly in the industrial and technology sectors, and included the organization of joint economic forums bringing together businessmen from both countries to discuss cooperation opportunities. In addition, Serbia will contribute to the establishment of automotive equipment manufacturing plants, the implementation of irrigation projects to reduce water scarcity, and the strengthening of economic partnerships to serve common interests.

Hanoun pointed out that cooperation with the United States focused on expanding economic and trade relations, with the goal of developing the business environment and promoting foreign investment. He also discussed the provision of goods and services and the implementation of economic reforms, including the adoption of an intellectual property law and the launch of the "e-trader" platform to regulate market activity, enhance oversight, and protect the rights of producers and consumers. He added that the platform will provide a safe environment for commercial transactions, limiting violations and maintaining a balance between merchants and consumers.

He also referred to a proposal to hold a joint forum between the Iraqi and American private sectors to review investment opportunities and joint projects.

Cooperation with the Swiss side included concluding a contract with a specialized company to establish mills and silos, and providing the ministry with a shipment of spare materials, equipment, and advanced systems in accordance with the latest international specifications to ensure the highest standards of quality and productivity. Hanoun affirmed that the ministry is proceeding with implementing its strategic plans to modernize the infrastructure of government mills, improve production quality, and enhance food security by adopting clear implementation plans and an advanced economic vision that focuses on improving operations and reducing financial waste.  link

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Opinion: BRICS Wealth, Power, and Swiss Bank Deposits Under Scrutiny

Economist Jitendra K. Tuli argues that BRICS nations face internal contradictions between their global image and domestic realities.

Concentration of Wealth and Offshore Deposits

In a recent opinion piece published by The Times of India, Jitendra K. Tuli, President of Economic & Technical Consultants, criticized the concentration of wealth among BRICS leaders and businessmen.

According to Tuli, political and business elites across BRICS countries have deposited billions of dollars in Swiss and offshore banks over several decades. He argued that this dynamic undercuts the alliance’s image as a champion of emerging economies.

Inequality Among BRICS Nations

Tuli highlighted the wealth gap between elites and ordinary citizens, claiming it is significantly wider in BRICS nations than in the United States and other Western economies.

He further noted that intra-BRICS trade remains limited, with member states conducting far more business with Western countries than with each other.

Power and Defense Spending

Beyond financial concerns, Tuli pointed to high defense expenditures among BRICS members:

• Russia, China, and Iran — spending heavily to consolidate geopolitical influence.

• India — directing significant resources toward defense, particularly against perceived threats from China and its ally Pakistan.

He described this as evidence of power struggles and competing priorities within the bloc.

Contradictions in Policy and Practice

At the 17th BRICS Summit, Brazilian President Lula da Silva emphasized peace and human rights. However, Tuli argued that such statements stand in contrast to the actions of some BRICS members, noting that Russia, China, and Iran have faced accusations of supporting conflict and violence.

Outlook

Tuli concluded that the BRICS alliance faces internal contradictions between its public image as a cooperative economic bloc and the realities of wealth concentration, limited intra-bloc trade, and divergent geopolitical agendas.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 25 August 2025

Compiled Mon. 25 August 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

On Sun. 17 Aug. 2025 a Top Secret Global Currency Reset (GCR) (allegedly)  began rolling out that was decades in the making & designed to stabilize currencies & unite over 90 nations under a fairer financial system. The U.S. will be last.

What We Think We Know as of Mon. 25 August 2025:

On Sun. 17 Aug. 2025 the Global Quantum Financial System (allegedly) went live on quantum-light channels that cannot be hacked, traced, or manipulated. Every transaction, instantaneous, transparent and asset-backed. (allegedly) No more banking middlemen. No more theft disguised as “policy.” Total debt cancellation: mortgages, loans and credit cards erased. (allegedly)  End of the IRS: income tax abolished, replaced by a fair sales tax on luxury goods. Return of stolen wealth: hidden trusts like the Saint Germain Fund (allegedly) ready to release trillions back to the people. Universal stipends. Med Beds, free energy, clean water systems unleashed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE GREAT SILENCE BEFORE THE SIGNAL: QFS Live as of Sun. 17 Aug. 2025 

The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is no longer a concept locked in secret halls. It breathes. It pulses. It’s (allegedly)  being tested in shadows while the old fiat still pretends to be alive.

For months, the system has been whispering. Bank terminals flicker. Satellites “recalibrate.” Power grids stutter for seconds, then return as if nothing happened. To the untrained eye — glitches. To those who know — signals. What you’re witnessing is not chaos. It’s the final rewiring of the global network.

Every transaction you’ve made in recent weeks (allegedly)  already passed through nodes you were never told exist. The “banks” you still see on the street are facades, like empty shells of a dead organism. Inside the core — quantum settlement, asset-backed transfers, incorruptible code.

And what comes with QFS? (allegedly)  GESARA. NESARA. (allegedly)  Debt release. Restoration of stolen wealth. Funding for suppressed technologies — MedBeds, free energy, hidden cures. This is why the silence feels so heavy. Because once the switch flips, there will be no turning back.

Watch for these markers:
• Sudden revaluation of currencies in small, “insignificant” nations.

On Sun. 17 Aug. 2025 a Top Secret Global Currency Reset (GCR) (allegedly)   began rolling out that was decades in the making & designed to stabilize currencies & unite over 90 nations under a fairer financial system.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

U.S. Economic Events This Week May Trigger Wild Volatility in Crypto

Bitcoin slips below $113K while Ethereum steadies near $4,700 as traders brace for U.S. economic data releases.

Crypto Market Snapshot

Bitcoin and Ethereum began the week under pressure, with BTC falling under $113,000 and ETH holding near $4,700. While crypto markets have their own momentum, traders are fixated on key U.S. economic signals that could shape price action in the days ahead.

On-chain data provider Santiment has flagged rising market euphoria around expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. Social discussions on “Fed, rates, Powell” have jumped to an 11-month high, raising concerns of a potential local market top if optimism runs too far ahead of fundamentals.

Key U.S. Economic Indicators to Watch

1. Consumer Confidence and Sentiment

• Tuesday’s consumer confidence data is projected to slip slightly from last month, reflecting continued weakness in household spending power.

• Consumer sentiment figures, expected later this week, remain close to crisis levels.

• Impact on crypto: Weaker confidence typically supports Bitcoin as investors hedge against economic strain. Stronger data, however, may favor stocks and reduce digital asset inflows.

2. Jobless Claims

• Weekly jobless claims are expected at ~230,000, down from 235,000. A lower reading would reinforce labor market resilience, reducing pressure on the Fed to cut rates.

• However, continuing claims are edging higher, signaling more Americans struggling to find work.

• Impact on crypto: Strong labor data may cap Bitcoin in the short term, while rising continuing claims could bolster the case for rate cuts—potentially supportive for digital assets.

3. PCE Inflation Data

• Core PCE inflation, the Fed’s preferred measure, is forecast at 2.9%, up from 2.8% in July.

• Persistent inflation would make aggressive rate cuts less likely, tightening liquidity for risk assets.

• Impact on crypto: While higher inflation may weigh on short-term price action, long-term Bitcoin advocates see it as validation of BTC’s role as a hedge against monetary debasement.

Market Outlook

• Bitcoin: Down over 2% in 24 hours, testing support as volatility looms.

• Ethereum: Holding steady, consolidating after recent highs.

• Overall: Crypto markets face a week of heightened sensitivity to U.S. economic data. Traders are preparing for sharp swings as consumer confidence, jobless claims, and inflation numbers shape the Fed’s next move.

US Banks Lobby OCC for National Standards to Limit State-Level Oversight

Major banks push for federal preemption amid growing patchwork of state banking rules.

Banks Push for Uniform Federal Oversight

Leading U.S. banks are urging the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish new federal regulations that would override certain state-imposed rules. According to Reuters, the lobbying effort focuses on creating national standards governing:

• Lending activities

• Bond issuance

• Investment banking services

• Anti-money laundering (AML) assessments

The move reflects banks’ growing frustration with the patchwork of state regulations, which they argue complicates compliance and undermines efficiency.

Federal Preemption at the Center

The push aligns with the Trump administration’s efforts to reinforce federal preemption, particularly in light of a 2024 U.S. Supreme Court ruling affirming that national banking laws supersede conflicting state regulations.

Additionally, a recent executive order on “debanking” practices—designed to prevent financial institutions from denying services based on political or religious criteria—has added momentum to the call for uniform national standards.

Industry Groups Back the Proposal

Prominent trade associations have voiced strong support:

• Bank Policy Institute (BPI): “We strongly support national preemption and believe federal fair access legislation or regulation would be a prudent move to address account closures in a consistent way across all states.”

• American Bankers Association (ABA): Endorsed the proposal as a necessary step to ensure regulatory clarity and operational consistency.

State Regulators Push Back

Not all stakeholders agree. Several state regulators argue that:

• Local oversight is critical for consumer protection.

• State-specific rules help maintain market integrity.

• Regulations can be tailored to community needs more effectively at the local level.

This tension has intensified as states including Texas, Florida, and California adopt laws restricting banks from engaging in practices tied to social or political considerations.

Outlook

The debate over federal vs. state banking authority is poised to intensify as the OCC weighs industry calls for regulatory standardization. While banks see national rules as a pathway to efficiency and clarity, state authorities maintain that local oversight remains essential to protecting consumers and communities.

RWA Tokenization Market Projected to Reach $16 Trillion by 2030, Skynet Report Finds

Institutional adoption, regulatory progress, and U.S. Treasury tokenization drive rapid growth in real-world asset markets.

Market Forecast

The global market for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization could expand to $16 trillion by 2030, according to the 2025 Skynet RWA Security Report.

• Tokenized U.S. Treasuries are leading the trend, projected to reach $4.2 billion in 2025, with short-term government bonds driving most activity.

• Growth is expected to accelerate as institutional investors adopt tokenized products for yield generation, liquidity management, and operational efficiency.

Institutional Adoption and Use Cases

The report highlights collaboration between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) as a core driver of expansion.

• Major banks and asset managers are exploring tokenization of assets such as debt instruments, commodities, private credit, and trade finance.

• Tokenized money market funds and private credit markets are emerging as early use cases.

• The convergence of TradFi and DeFi, according to Skynet, offers greater transparency, accessibility, and efficiency.

Regulatory Developments

Regulatory clarity is seen as essential to unlocking large-scale institutional participation:

• Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United States are implementing frameworks to govern tokenization platforms.

• Clearer rules on custody, risk management, and investor protections are expected to accelerate adoption.

Challenges for Growth

Despite strong potential, several structural challenges remain:

• Limited secondary market liquidity for RWA tokens, as most remain institutionally held or restricted to closed platforms.

• Legal and regulatory inconsistencies across jurisdictions.

• Cybersecurity and smart contract risks, requiring robust custodians and compliance infrastructure.

Skynet emphasized the importance of federally chartered crypto banks or licensed custodians in securing institutional trust.

Outlook

The report concludes that the combination of blockchain-native liquidity and real-world yields is attracting both retail and institutional capital. However, broader adoption will require:

• Infrastructure investments to scale tokenization platforms.

• Regulatory alignment across key markets.

• Simplified access for retail investors via regulated intermediaries and on-ramps.

With these conditions in place, Skynet projects tokenization could achieve the $16 trillion milestone by 2030.

Tishwash:  Can budget tables save Iraq from a financial crisis? An expert answers.

Political and economic circles are anticipating the budget tables will be submitted to Parliament within the next two months, amid questions about their ability to address a potential financial crisis.

In this context, economic expert Salah Nouri explained to {Euphrates News} that "the success of these schedules depends on several key factors, most notably the nature of the spending schedules. If an austerity portfolio focuses on only necessary expenditures, it may mitigate the severity of the crisis."

He added, "It also requires resolving issues with the US Federal Reserve to ensure the full transfer of oil revenues."

Nouri stressed the "necessity of maintaining the planned oil selling price in the general budget, which reaches $70 per barrel," noting that "taking these factors into account will be a decisive factor in the budget's ability to confront financial challenges and ensure economic stability for the country. link

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

Tishwash:  Association of Banks: Payment points increased to 60,000, and more than 18 million electronic cards were issued.

The Iraqi Private Banks Association announced on Sunday the issuance of more than 18 million electronic payment cards across the country, while noting that the number of payment points has increased to approximately 60,000.

Ali Tariq, executive director of the Iraqi Private Banks Association, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA), "The issuance of electronic cards in the country is witnessing a significant increase, particularly following government decisions to promote electronic payments and oblige government and private institutions to collect electronically."

He explained that "the number of cards issued has exceeded 18 million in Iraq, while the number of electronic payment points has increased from 7,000 to approximately 60,000, with further increases expected in the coming period."

He added, "Banks continue to support various projects," explaining that "financial ceilings for small, medium, and large projects are determined by each financial institution based on the nature of the project, its capital, and the number of employees  link

It appears that government measures and the Central Bank's attempts to control the dollar exchange rate have not achieved complete success, as exchange rates continue to witness significant fluctuations in the markets, amid increasing pressures resulting from unofficially covered demand, smuggling operations, and the complications of recent customs decisions.

The US dollar exchange rate rose in the markets of Baghdad and Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, after successive declines witnessed in recent days, raising concerns among citizens and traders alike.

The Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya stock exchanges in Baghdad recorded 141,600 dinars for $100, while the selling price in exchange shops in local markets recorded 142,500 dinars for $100, after the dollar recorded 139,000 dinars for $100 this month.

Experts believe that the continued fluctuation reflects the limited impact of government measures and the Central Bank, as unofficial market factors, such as demand related to trade with neighboring countries and smuggling through ports, continue to pressure the stability of the dinar.

These people point out that addressing the crisis requires broader solutions than just financial decisions, including reforming the customs system, strengthening control over border crossings, and revitalizing non-oil economic sectors to reduce excessive reliance on the dollar.

Expectations of Rise

In turn, economic expert Ahmed Abd Rabbo expects a further rise in the dollar exchange rate, noting that the previous decline was a result of the downturn witnessed in the markets, which created a state of anxiety in financial transactions.

Abd Rabbo told Al-Mada that "the talk about the suspension of some remittances and problems with online shopping led to a rush on the dollar in the parallel market, which will lead to a renewed rise in the price."

He added that "stabilizing the dollar price requires practical plans and real market control, so that the Central Bank can understand the problems and seek effective solutions through the banking system," stressing that "such steps will contribute to controlling prices and calming the market."
He pointed out that "seriously addressing the factors affecting supply and demand, in addition to monitoring parallel market movements, are key to achieving real stability in the dollar price."

Traders point out that the gap between the official and parallel markets still exists, which opens the door to daily speculation and makes any temporary decline vulnerable to rapid dissipation. While citizens are optimistic about any decline in the exchange rate, concerns remain about a renewed rise, accompanied by a new wave of inflation that will put pressure on the livelihood of Iraqi families.

Three main factors

For his part, financial and banking expert Abdul Rahman Al-Shaikhly attributed the reasons for the fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate in Iraq to three main factors, stressing that these factors work together to increase pressure on the market.

Al-Shaikhly explained to Al-Mada that "the first reason is the scarcity of supply compared to the increasing demand, which creates a state of tension in the exchange market."

He added, "The second reason is the insistence of many traders on importing their goods from neighboring banned countries, especially in light of the Central Bank's occasional delay in providing dollars to importers through official outlets. The third reason is the price difference between the official market and the parallel market, which has encouraged speculators to take advantage of this disparity, especially in light of the current increase in demand."

He stressed that "understanding these reasons and taking measures to control supply and demand, in addition to monitoring price differences between markets, represents an important step towards stabilizing the dollar price in Iraqi markets."

The Iraqi public had been optimistic about the decline in the dollar price in recent weeks, hoping that this would be reflected in price stability and a decline in commodity costs. However, the ongoing volatility has dispelled these expectations, after the price rose again, affected by the increase in demand that is not officially covered and the slowness of government solutions, which has left the public facing renewed concerns about a new wave of looming inflation.  link

What Peace Black Swans and Fiscal Red Bull means for America’s Future

What Peace Black Swans and Fiscal Red Bull means for America’s Future

Palisades Gold Radio:   8-22-2025

The global economic landscape feels increasingly like an “asteroid field” – a chaotic mix of massive deficits, entrenched global conflicts, and critical dependencies on nations that aren’t always allies. In this complex environment, understanding potential future economic strategies is more crucial than ever.

Recently, Tom Bodrovics of Palisades Gold Radio welcomed a truly insightful mind to the show: Michael Kao. As a Private Family Office Investor, Author, and a seasoned Former Hedge Fund Manager & Commodities Trader, Kao brings a wealth of experience to the table.

His discussion provided a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of what he describes as the “Trump 2.0 economic strategy” – a multi-faceted approach designed to fundamentally reshape the United States’ economic trajectory.

Perhaps one of the most intriguing concepts Kao introduced is what he terms a “reverse Marshall Plan.” Unlike the original Marshall Plan, where the U.S. government funded European recovery post-WWII, this strategy envisions a future where other countries and private industries take on fiscal responsibilities traditionally borne by the U.S. government.

The goal? To free up U.S. government funds and reduce the debt load, effectively making others shoulder more of the global economic and security cost.

The culmination of these policies, Kao believes, could lead to a “disinflationary growth” scenario. This highly desirable outcome would see the U.S. economy growing at a healthy pace while inflationary pressures are contained or even reversed.

If successful, this could be the elusive path for the U.S. to “grow its way out of its current debt challenges” – a monumental task that requires more than just austerity.

The conversation also delved into vital geopolitical dynamics. Kao touched on potential shifts in Middle Eastern relationships, the ongoing economic challenges faced by China, and the overarching importance of creating sustainable economic conditions that don’t rely on short-term monetary manipulations.

While acknowledging the significant hurdles ahead, Michael Kao remains cautiously optimistic about the United States’ economic future.

He underscores the belief that the U.S. possesses significant untapped potential on its balance sheet. Crucially, he emphasizes that the success of this strategic approach hinges on its maintenance beyond a single presidential cycle, fostering a more favorable and stable long-term economic environment.

Michael Kao’s analysis offers a compelling framework for understanding the potential direction of a “Trump 2.0” economic strategy. It’s a vision that seeks to address deep-seated issues through a combination of economic statecraft, fiscal redirection, and a bold redefinition of global responsibility.

China Pushes Yuan as BRICS Reserve Currency, Faces Resistance

China is advancing efforts to position the yuan as the reserve currency of BRICS, challenging the dominance of the U.S. dollar. However, resistance from fellow BRICS members threatens to stall Beijing’s ambitions.

China’s Push for the Yuan

Beijing has steadily promoted the yuan for trade, cross-border payments, and central bank reserves, especially during the 2023 and 2024 BRICS summits.

• Russia and Brazil have increasingly settled oil and commodity trades in yuan, largely due to U.S. sanctions on Moscow.

• India briefly used yuan for settlements but later stopped.

• Through the New Development Bank (NDB), China has also encouraged lending in yuan, with countries such as Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and several African nations receiving loans denominated in the currency.

These moves, though not officially branded as a “reserve currency initiative,” underscore China’s intent to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar and elevate the yuan’s global role.

Growing Resistance Inside BRICS

Despite Beijing’s push, divisions within BRICS remain clear:

• India and South Africa have consistently opposed making the yuan the bloc’s reserve currency.

• Brazil has recently joined their stance, signaling concern over China’s dominance.

• Instead, these nations favor a multicurrency system—a basket of local currencies that can collectively compete with the U.S. dollar, rather than relying on one nation’s currency.

Why It Matters

The internal split highlights a key challenge for BRICS: while members agree on reducing dependence on the dollar, they do not agree on letting the yuan replace it.
Without consensus, China’s vision of a yuan-centered BRICS reserve faces significant hurdles, leaving the bloc’s true de-dollarization strategy still in flux.

We’re Near Endgame, Ponzi to Blow up or Collapse

We’re Near Endgame, Ponzi to Blow up or Collapse

Liberty and Finance:   8-23-2025

Have you ever really stopped to consider what money is? Is it just government-issued paper? A digital entry on a screen? Or is there something more fundamental at play?

A recent, eye-opening discussion between Kaiser Johnson from Liberty and Finance and Phil Low dives deep into these very questions, challenging conventional wisdom about monetary theory and offering crucial insights into our current economic landscape.

 If you thought you knew money, this conversation will make you think again.

For many, the prevailing idea is the “sovereign force theory”—the belief that money’s value comes from government decree and its ability to enforce taxation. But Phil Low, drawing on the Austrian school of economics, presents a compelling counter-argument: money isn’t imposed; it emerges naturally as the most liquid commodity to solve the “coincidence of wants” problem in trade.

Imagine trying to barter for everything you need! Money simplifies this. Phil uses vivid analogies, from seashells to “life certificates” and the stark reality of coercion, to illustrate that tokens enforced by force do not truly monetize.

They may be instruments of taxation, but they fail to become a true medium of exchange beyond that specific use case. The market, in its wisdom, seeks out the most desirable, divisible, and durable commodity to facilitate trade.

The discussion then takes us on a historical tour, emphasizing that from ancient times right up to August 1971, the world’s economies largely operated on a gold and silver standard.

This wasn’t a fluke; it was a testament to the market’s natural gravitation towards these precious metals as reliable forms of money.

What’s truly fascinating is their analysis of the supposed “departure” from the gold standard in 1971.

They argue that this move didn’t cause a sudden repricing of goods, as one might expect from a purely fiat system. Instead, the system has remained effectively gold-backed, not through direct convertibility, but through credit expansion, artificially extending the prior gold-based system rather than truly becoming the “sovereign fiat system” most commonly believe it to be. This is a subtle yet profound distinction that upends traditional narratives.

When it comes to precious metals, there’s a critical distinction. Monetary metals like gold, silver, and copper are standardized, stamped, and recognized as currency, making them easy to trade. Think of a gold coin. 

Non-monetary metals, conversely, are jewelry, artifacts, or raw forms – beautiful, perhaps, but less liquid in trade. In a crisis, the ease of valuation and transaction makes monetary forms vastly preferable. This nuance is crucial for anyone considering precious metals as a safeguard.

The conversation shifts to the urgent present, highlighting the extreme volatility in financial markets. Phil Low describes the Federal Reserve’s current efforts as struggling to maintain a “Ponzi-like scheme,” printing exponentially increasing amounts of fiat currency to prop up failing banks and government debt. This desperate measure results in wild swings in interest rates and market panic, further exacerbated by conflicting opinions on Fed policy.

This isn’t just academic talk; it’s a warning. Phil advises viewers to prepare by holding monetary gold and silver alongside some paper dollars. His critical caution: do not rely on last-minute conversions or attempt to “trade the crash,” as the risks are simply too extreme. Early, calm preparation is paramount.

The discussion also briefly touches on the ever-expanding role of government and the increasing complexity of the state’s involvement in the economy, further complicating the financial landscape.

Kaiser Johnson and Phil Low offer practical advice on acquiring and holding precious metals, emphasizing the importance of understanding why you’re doing it and how to do it safely. Phil promotes his channel and resources, inviting those interested to delve deeper and prepare thoughtfully for what may lie ahead.

This isn’t just a video about economics; it’s a call to re-evaluate our foundational beliefs about money and to calmly, yet urgently, prepare for the financial future.

Frank26:  "ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT AT 1310?".........F26

 Al-Ghariri: Iraq is now in an advanced position to join the World Trade Organization.

 8/21/2025  Baghdad /  

Minister of Trade Athir Al-Ghurairi announced that Iraq has completed the technical files required to join the World Trade Organization.

Al-Ghurairi said in a statement: "Iraq has completed all the technical files required to join the World Trade Organization, after a negotiation process that extended for more than twenty years, during which Iraq faced many challenges and delays."

He added: "This achievement was made during the term of the current government, with an intensive qualitative effort that exceeded what was achieved in the previous stages combined," stressing: "Iraq is now in an advanced position paving the way for completing the requirements for full membership."

The Minister of Trade explained: "The national team concerned with accession, in coordination with the relevant ministries and sectoral bodies and in partnership with international institutions, has completed the review and update of all technical files, which included: the foreign trade system memorandum, the legislative implementation plan, agricultural support tables, the import licenses file, customs valuation, in addition to the sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) files and technical barriers to trade (TBT)."

He continued: "The team also prepared accurate answers to (175) questions and inquiries submitted by the member states of the organization, while the Iraqi customs system was updated to the latest version in line with international standards and enhances Iraq's readiness for the next stages."

Frank26:  "THAT PERCENTAGE REQUIRES A NEW EXCHANGE RATE"......F26

Al-Sudani's advisor: Iraq's external debt is at its lowest level in history, not exceeding 10% of GDP.

8/23/2025 - Baghdad

The Prime Minister's Advisor for Economic Affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, revealed that external public debt in all its forms is at its lowest level in the history of public finance.

Mazhar Mohammed Saleh said, "The Iraqi economy is one of the most cash-generating economies with high financial flexibility to meet the liquidity requirements of the economy in general, and the liquidity of public finances in particular, despite the rentier economic difficulties the country is facing due to external geo-economic factors witnessed worldwide and the Middle East in recent months."

Regarding external public debt, Al-Sudani's advisor explained that "in all its forms (sovereign and commercial), it is currently at its lowest level in the country's public finance history, with the portion due to be repaid by 2028 not exceeding 5% of GDP, or approximately 9 billion."

He pointed out that "adding the long-term external debt to the debt due above, it does not exceed 10% of the GDP, and a total of approximately $18 to $20 billion."

Regarding borrowing procedures, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh explained that "based on the strong fiscal space provided by fiscal policy for domestic borrowing and repayment, public finances have resorted to borrowing from the domestic market to meet public spending needs when necessary." 

He added, "The domestic debt stands at nearly 92.2 trillion dinars, some of which has accumulated over previous years. Today's domestic debt is borrowed from the local financial market to finance the government's financial leverage due to the drop in oil prices to below the rate stipulated in Federal General Budget Law No. 13 of 2023, the amended three-year budget."

 He noted that "about 47% of this domestic public debt is in the Central Bank's investment portfolio, backed by high foreign reserves approaching $100 billion," adding that "the total domestic and external debt as a percentage of GDP does not exceed 40%, which is within the global safe range of 60% of GDP. Therefore, Iraq's public debt as a whole falls within the criteria of international financial and economic stability."

 Mazhar Mohammed Saleh warned of "expanding debts," and that a disciplined policy must be adopted to maximize resources, especially non-oil ones, as part of the current government program.

He emphasized that "Iraq is one of the countries keen to repay its foreign debts within the public spending allocations in the annual general budget.

Therefore, it has enjoyed a stable credit rating from the credit rating agency since the adoption of that sovereign rating in 2016 and up to the present time, within the framework of a periodic evaluation conducted every six months and periodically by the international credit rating agencies Fitch Global and S&P for countries around the world."LINK

US Treasury’s DeFi ID Plan Sparks Privacy and Decentralization Concerns

The U.S. Treasury is weighing a controversial proposal that could fundamentally reshape decentralized finance (DeFi). As part of its new mandate under the GENIUS Act, the Treasury is exploring whether identity checks should be embedded directly into DeFi smart contracts.  While supporters argue this could block illicit finance, critics warn it risks turning permissionless systems into government-gated networks.

The Proposal

• Under the GENIUS Act, signed into law in July, the Treasury must evaluate new compliance tools for crypto markets.

• One idea: require DeFi protocols to automatically verify government IDs, biometrics, or digital wallet certificates before allowing transactions.

• Proponents say this would integrate KYC/AML checks directly into blockchain infrastructure, making it harder for criminals to exploit anonymity.

Fraser Mitchell, Chief Product Officer at AML provider SmartSearch, noted:

“Real-time monitoring for suspicious activity can make it easier for platforms to mitigate risk and prevent money launderers from using their networks.”

Privacy and Surveillance Risks

Critics say embedding ID at the protocol level could hollow out the essence of DeFi:

• Mamadou Kwidjim Toure, CEO of Ubuntu Tribe, compared it to “putting cameras in every living room.”

• Tying blockchain wallets to government IDs risks making every transaction permanently traceable to real-world identities.

• This could open doors to censorship, blacklisting, or even automated tax collection directly through smart contracts.

Toure warned:

“Financial freedom relies on the right to a private economic life. Embedding ID erodes that and creates dangerous precedents.”

Exclusion and Security Challenges

• Billions of people worldwide lack government-issued ID. A hard requirement could lock out refugees, migrants, and the unbanked.

• Data security risks escalate if biometric and financial data are linked—making breaches catastrophic.

Alternatives Exist

Experts argue the choice isn’t between crime havens and mass surveillance.

• Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs): Users can prove compliance (e.g., over 18, not sanctioned) without revealing identity.

• Decentralized Identity (DID) standards: Allow users to hold verifiable credentials and selectively disclose only what’s needed.

Toure summarized:

“Instead of static government IDs, users should hold verifiable credentials they selectively disclose.”

The Bigger Picture

The Treasury’s DeFi ID plan raises urgent questions:

• Can compliance be achieved without dismantling DeFi’s open, permissionless foundations?

• Will embedding government-controlled identity tools erode decentralization and limit financial freedom?

• Or can privacy-preserving technologies provide a middle path that balances security with autonomy?

As the GENIUS Act unfolds, these debates may determine whether DeFi remains a tool for global financial inclusion—or evolves into a tightly surveilled extension of traditional finance.

“Good Sign” as Asset Managers Update XRP ETF Applications Following Ripple Court Resolution

The race for a spot XRP ETF gained momentum after several major asset managers filed amended applications with the U.S. SEC on the same day—just as a federal appeals court officially closed the Ripple case.

Multiple Updates Signal Progress

On August 22, CoinShares, Grayscale, Canary, Franklin, WisdomTree, Bitwise, and 21Shares updated their S-1 filings with the SEC for spot-based XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

• The amendments introduce greater structural flexibility, including allowing XRP or cash creations and cash or in-kind redemptions.

• Analysts suggest the changes likely reflect direct SEC feedback, potentially increasing approval chances.

Analysts Call It a “Good Sign”

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said the coordinated filings strongly suggest issuers are responding to regulator guidance, calling the move a “good sign.”

Similarly, Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth Management, emphasized that simultaneous updates are a positive signal that the applications are advancing in the SEC review process.

Legal Clarity Removes Barriers

The timing coincided with the Second Circuit Court’s approval of a joint request by Ripple and the SEC to withdraw their appeals—effectively ending the long-running case.

Community figure All Things XRP argued the decision puts XRP in the same regulatory category as Bitcoin and Ethereum, clearing a key legal hurdle. He estimated that XRP ETF approval odds may now be as high as 95%.

Following the news, XRP surged to $3.08, with trading volumes spiking as whales accumulated large amounts of the token.

XRP’s Path Mirrors Bitcoin’s ETF Journey

Observers note that XRP is now following a trajectory similar to Bitcoin’s:

1. Regulatory clarity.

2. Wave of ETF applications.

3. Price rally fueled by institutional demand.

With the SEC facing an October 2025 deadline to decide on several applications—including those from Grayscale, Bitwise, and 21Shares—analysts believe approval could spark billions in institutional inflows.

Although BlackRock has yet to file, estimates suggest existing issuers could attract over $5 billion into XRP ETFs if approvals move forward.

Gemini About to Launch the World’s First XRP-Linked Mastercard

Gemini has ignited speculation with a bold billboard hinting at an XRP Mastercard launch on August 25, sparking excitement across the crypto community and fueling a sharp rise in XRP’s price.

A Teaser That Turned Heads

The buzz began when Gemini shared an image of a massive New York City billboard reading “Prepare your bags” alongside the date August 25, 2025.

• The cryptic message immediately triggered theories of an XRP-branded Mastercard, though no official confirmation has been made.

• Gemini already offers a crypto rewards card, leaving some skeptical while others view this as a major step toward XRP’s mainstream adoption.

Ripple, Gemini, and Mastercard: A Possible Alliance

Unverified reports suggest a potential partnership between Ripple, Gemini, and Mastercard, with WebBank as the likely issuer to meet U.S. compliance requirements.

• John Deaton, a prominent crypto lawyer, suggested the card could outperform existing crypto-linked payment cards.

• Meanwhile, veteran XRP investor WrathofKahneman urged caution, reminding the community that speculation should not be mistaken for fact.

XRP Price Surges Past $3

The speculation arrives as XRP continues its rally:

• XRP climbed 8% in 24 hours, reaching $3.04, and outperforming Bitcoin.

• The surge follows a major milestone—the joint dismissal of the long-running SEC lawsuit against Ripple, which restored legal clarity to the token.

• Growing anticipation of an XRP ETF has also bolstered momentum, with many predicting significant institutional inflows if approved.

Why This Matters

If confirmed, the Gemini XRP Mastercard would mark a historic breakthrough for XRP’s real-world adoption, blending crypto payments with a globally recognized financial brand.
Combined with legal clarity and the possibility of an ETF, this move could push XRP further into mainstream finance than ever before.
