What About Gold?

What About Gold?

November 18, 2024  Notes From the Field – James Hickman (Simon Black) Sovereign Man

It was early January 2020, and weird things were happening in the world.

Socialism was on the march in the Land of the Free. Conflict, it seemed, was exploding everywhere, both abroad (North Korea, Iran, Yemen) and at home.

And most notably, over in China, the Communist government was literally welding people into their homes to ‘keep them safe’ from a bizarre virus that was spreading rapid

It was only January, but 2020 was already looking pretty uncertain.

I wrote an article about preparing for uncertainty. And, with respect to finance, I wrote that gold was a very sensible asset to own in such times: “Frankly I don’t think anyone can credibly say that they have any idea what’s going to happen in the world in 2020. And that’s why I own gold.”

We soon found out. One of the most ridiculous hysterias in human history gripped the world. Countries were locked down. Governments and central banks conjured trillions of dollars out of thin air to pay people to stay home and not work.

Three months later, in mid-April, I wrote again that the Fed’s virtually unlimited money printing was going to be “very inflationary” and encouraged readers to consider gold once again (along with other real assets).

Quite predictably, the price of gold shot up, from $1560 in early January, to $1720 in April, to nearly $2000 in August.

At that point there was a lot of fickle, speculative capital flowing into the gold market. Gold ETFs were receiving huge inflows, pushing the price to (what was then) an all-time high.

So I wrote to our audience again on August 3rd stating that, “a short-term correction may be in order” for gold. The price peaked three days later, and then fell be several hundred dollars per ounce.

I started writing about gold again in earnest back in early 2023, a few months after the price had bottomed out. The fiscal trajectory of the United States under Joe Biden was painfully obvious at that point. The national debt was growing at an unprecedented peace-time pace, and other nations were lining up against the dollar as the global reserve currency.

Gold was a smart move. And by the end of the year I concluded that “we could easily see central banks around the world ditching their US dollars and loading up on gold as part of a new, de-dollarized global financial system.”

And that’s what started happening: fed up with dollar inflation, US government dysfunction, and America’s gargantuan national debt, foreign central banks began trading their dollars for gold.

THE GOLD PRICE SOARED AS A RESULT

Even in March of this year, when gold was at its all time high of the time at $2,150, I wrote that gold was actually a contrarian investment with a lot more room to rise.

It went all the way up to almost $2,800.

Now, I’m not citing my own work to be boastful. Trust me, I’ve gotten plenty of things wrong.

My point is to illustrate that I AM NOT A GOLD BUG. I don’t hold a fanatical view about gold that it’s the only thing worth owning and is only going to go up.

Furthermore, I don’t think about gold strictly in terms of price; that’s way too one-dimensional.

Gold is a great insurance policy. It’s a hedge against systemic risks. It’s great for estate planning and asset protection. It holds its value over inflation over long periods of time. And, sometimes, it can also be a fantastic speculation.

The above examples demonstrate that I’m not shy about saying whether I think gold has been overbought, is too expensive, or too cheap. My assessment obviously changes when the information changes.

Right now one thing is clear: foreign central banks were the ones responsible for driving the price of gold to all-time highs throughout 2024, just as I suggested would be the case in 2023.

And that was happening at a time when most individual investors (plus ‘smart money’ hedge funds) were actually selling gold. So they were missing out on the boom.

But that started to change over the past few months.

Data from Gold ETFs around the world show that individual investors have been buying tons of gold. Problem is— that money tends to be very short-term... and fickle.

We can already see it; a lot of those same small investors have already yanked their money out of gold after the US election, which is why the price is down about 10% from its record high.

But, again, the real long-term driver of gold demand is central banks. And I think a lot of foreign central banks are sitting on the sidelines right now.

With gold already near its all-time high, they have paused their buying spree, and they’re now looking at this incoming administration to see what happens next.

Can Elon trim the federal budget? Will there be a US energy renaissance or AI-fueled productivity bonanza? Will the government become functional once again? Will America’s unparalleled military superiority be restored? Will sensible monetary policy reign in inflation?

Because if those things actually happen, then the dollar has a pretty good shot of continuing its reign as the dominant global reserve currency.

And I think a lot of central banks that have been buying so much gold are happy to wait for the next several months to see what happens. Hence gold could easily trade sideways for a while, or even fall.

All that said, gold is still worth owning... because there’s still long-term risk to the US and to the dollar.

Vladimir Putin recently made some comments that a lot of folks misinterpreted as “Russia and the BRICS nations will keep using the dollar. . .”

But that’s not what Putin said.

Putin said it was the US government’s weaponization of the dollar that pushed Russia and the BRICs nations away. And as long as that threat remains, the BRICS+ bloc is plowing ahead with developing an alternate financial system.

Many large economies have already started trading with one another in a currency other than the US dollar. And that trend is likely to continue, i.e. the dollar is going to have competition.

Not to mention, there’s still a ton of uncertainty in the world. The national debt is still way too high. The Leftists still want to storm to power and Make America California. Conflict might still break out.

These are all sensible reasons to own some gold.

But given that the key driver of the gold price, i.e. central banks, are probably going to sit on the sidelines over the next few months, I wouldn’t be buying right now on the expectation of a short-term price surge.

XRP NEWS: LEGAL EXPERT SAYS SEC’S LATEST APPEAL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH $125 MILLION PENALTY

Ripple has come a long way since its early days when reaching $1 seemed impossible. Now, with XRP surging past $1, some are even predicting that it could reach previous ATHs at $3.30. While this may sound far-fetched, recent rumors of SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s resignation and Ripple’s potential victory in its legal battle with the SEC have fueled speculation that XRP’s future could be brighter than ever.

Although Gensler’s resignation is still unconfirmed, the mere rumor has sparked a wave of optimism across the crypto space, with many hoping it signals a shift in the SEC’s stance on digital assets.

 If true, it could open the door to greater adoption and investment in Ripple’s XRP. As the momentum continues to build, many are now watching closely to see if this rally is just the beginning of something much bigger for XRP.

Amid the uncertainty, one user claimed that the only remaining issue in the case is the settlement fee, with the SEC seeking more than $125 million. The user also claimed that XRP has already won the key point: it was ruled not to be a security.

But former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel disagreed, saying this view is inaccurate. He explained that the appeal isn’t about a “settlement fee,” as there’s no such thing. Instead, the SEC is appealing the ruling on programmatic sales, while Ripple is cross-appealing the decision on institutional sales.

Fagel wrote, “That’s not remotely accurate, sorry; the appeal has nothing to do with the penalty (there’s no such thing as a “settlement fee”). The SEC is appealing the liability finding for programmatic sales; Ripple is cross-appealing liability for institutional sales.”

SWIFT AND CHAINLINK UNLOCK GLOBAL ACCESS TO TOKENIZED ASSETS ACROSS 200+ COUNTRIES

▪️Chainlink and SWIFT will power tokenized fund recovery with a new solution.

▪️With defined roles from both firms, this solution can remove inefficiencies in the mutual fund market.

Building on their existing partnership, Chainlink (LINK) and SWIFT continue to push forward for the global adoption of Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization. Chainlink, SWIFT, and UBS Asset Management recently highlighted their ongoing tokenization efforts via the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Project Guardian initiative.

How Institutions Can Access Tokenized Asset
Specifically, Chainlink, SWIFT, and UBS have unveiled an innovative pilot for settling tokenized fund subscriptions and redemptions. The solution will enable over 11,500 financial institutions across 200 countries to settle digital asset transactions, particularly tokenized funds.

How can 11,500+ institutions across 200+ countries access tokenized assets?@swiftcommunity, @UBS Asset Management, and #Chainlink showcase their major @MAS_sg Project Guardian work around tokenized fund settlement—a solution that is “extremely practical for commercializing” ↓ pic.twitter.com/U0zSp7RwDi  —  Chainlink (@chainlink) November 7, 2024

This latest advancement uses existing SWIFT infrastructure and Chainlink’s platform to settle fund subscriptions and redemptions. It calculates the preconditions for automatically minting or burning fund tokens for the UBS tokenized investment fund. This technique can improve operations and remove costly inefficiencies across the $63 trillion global mutual fund market.

During a panel session, Andrew Wong, Executive Director at UBS Asset Management, noted that SWIFT and Chainlink have facilitated the automatic minting and burning of UBS tokenized fund tokens.

 He said the integration with SWIFT and Chainlink aims to enhance the payment efficiency of the UBS tokenized investment fund.

In a workflow chart, SWIFT Director Giles Goh explained how SWIFT acts as a transfer bridge for USB’s tokenized fund. He noted that the SWIFT transaction manager will implement a program-scheduled task to retrieve pending subscriptions and redemption from smart contracts.

Chainlink then receives the subscription details, such as the amount and funds distributor ID. 

This is key to ensuring the entire flow from the USB-tokenized fund, Digital Transfer Agent (DTA), and Chainlink to the SWIFT network is coherent. Once the transactions come back down, SWIFT triggers a payment initiation or request.

The fund distributor receives this information and initiates a payment converted to a trackable inter-bank payment over SWIFT UETR. Payment fund delivery is confirmed through the SWIFT network and GPI tracker status update. Next, SWIFT triggers subscription and redemption state closure based on proof of funds delivery.

Chainlink calls the subscription redemption functions in the DTA through its Cross Chain Interoperability Platform (CCIP). Finally, CCIP sends and mints the tokens, fulfilling the entire redemption process. Chainlink’s co-founder Sergey Nazarov commented that the pilot opens up a universe of users, which will likely make the fund more successful.

LINK’s Price and Prediction
Meanwhile, Chainlink’s native asset, LINK, continues to move upward, following in Bitcoin’s footsteps.

At press time, LINK price was trading at $14.65, up 3.09% in the last 24 hours and 28.3% in the past 30 days. However, the daily trading volume decreased by 34.6% to $556.6 million, suggesting likely reduced investor interest in the short term.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

RLUSD IS HERE: RIPPLE’S OPERATIONALLY READY STABLECOIN UNVEILED

Ripple has just reached an important milestone, with its President Monica Long confirming that the company’s new stablecoin, RLUSD, is ready for use. This stablecoin is designed to complement Ripple’s main token, XRP, by offering a steadier and more reliable option for people in the crypto world.

Long shared this news during her appearance on The Scoop, where she explained how RLUSD could improve Ripple’s payment solutions. The idea behind RLUSD is simple: it gives users a way to trade tokenized U.S. dollars on the blockchain, helping them avoid the unpredictable volatility that is common in the crypto market.

Ripple Taps Growing Stablecoin Demand Globally
Ripple’s focus on stablecoins fits into a larger shift in the crypto market. Long mentioned that countries in Latin America have shown a growing interest in stablecoins tied to the dollar. 

Europe and Asia are also seen as areas for growth. Ripple plans to offer stablecoins not just in U.S. dollars but also in other currencies like the euro and Singapore dollar.

“Back from a fantastic week at Singapore FinTech Festival, on and off stage, everyone was talking about stablecoins,” Long shared on Twitter. She also pointed out that the increasing demand for reliable, USD-based stablecoins is what’s driving Ripple’s entry into this market.

Besides meeting market demand, Ripple also hopes to attract developers who can create decentralized apps on the XRP Ledger. By offering RLUSD on the XRP Ledger, Ripple is opening up new possibilities for the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, offering a strong foundation for developers to innovate and grow.

Ripple has already processed over $70 billion in transactions using blockchain technology, showing the rising demand for its services. While XRP is designed for fast, high-volume transactions, RLUSD will serve users who need stability, especially in markets that value clear regulations and financial security.

Ripple’s RLUSD Regulatory Journey
Launching a stablecoin comes with a big challenge: following the rules set by regulators. Ripple is being careful with RLUSD, making sure it checks all the right boxes before it goes live.

The company has already started addressing concerns, like getting a license from New York’s Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) through its purchase of Standard Custody.

RLUSD will be fully backed by reserves, including short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, dollar deposits, and cash equivalents. Ripple has committed to monthly attestations of its reserves, which will be verified by the San Francisco-based accounting firm BPM. This transparency is crucial for gaining the trust of both regulators and users.

Ripple’s RLUSD will be fully supported by reserves, such as short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, dollar deposits, and cash-like assets. Ripple has promised to confirm the status of its reserves each month. An accounting firm from San Francisco, BPM, will verify these reports.

In a recent interview on CNBC’s Street Signs Asia, Long expressed confidence about the future of stablecoins. She highlighted their potential, especially for payments and cross-border transfers. Long believes the stablecoin market will continue to grow, with more coins tied to different fiat currencies.

BLACKROCK’S BITCOIN ETF OPTIONS SET TO LAUNCH TOMORROW

Nasdaq prepareS for the launch of iBIT options, signaling a key milestone for Bitcoin ETFs.

▪️BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust options will begin trading tomorrow.

▪️iBIT has $43 billion in AUM, with Bitcoin ETF trading volumes surging post-Trump’s election win.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) options are set to begin trading tomorrow, according to Alison Hennessy, head of ETP listings at Nasdaq.

In a statement today, the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), the world’s largest equity derivatives clearing organization, confirmed its readiness to clear and settle options for spot Bitcoin ETFs, such as the BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (iBIT).

The statement referenced key developments, including the SEC’s approval on September 20 to allow options trading for the iBIT Trust and the CFTC’s November 15 staff advisory on clearing options for spot commodity ETFs.

Following the announcement, Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas stated it’s “a matter of when, not if.”

Hours later, Alison Hennessy, Nasdaq’s Head of ETP Listings, said on ETF IQ that iBIT options could be listed as soon as tomorrow.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust has already established itself as a major player in the crypto space since its launch in January.

The ETF has amassed $43 billion in assets under management (AUM) and holds nearly 472,000 Bitcoin, reflecting robust institutional demand.

This announcement comes as Bitcoin ETF trading volumes have surged, ranging between $3 billion and $7 billion throughout November.

The uptick coincides with Donald Trump’s victory as the 47th US president, following his widely expected reelection win on November 6.

This renewed optimism mirrors the early-year momentum seen during the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January, when trading volumes ranged between $4 billion and $12 billion before declining in Q2 and Q3.

GOLDMAN SACHS PREPARING TO LAUNCH ITS DIGITAL ASSETS PLATFORM: BLOOMBERG

According to a latest Bloomberg report, Goldman Sachs is preparing to launch a new company focused on its digital assets platform. It is speaking with potential partners as it plans to spin out its digital-assets platform into a new company for large financial firms to create, trade and settle financial instruments through blockchain technology.

Spin Out In 12-18 Months
While the Plans for the new company are in the early stages, but the long-term goal is to execute the spin-out within the next 12 to 18 months, subject to regulatory approvals, noted Mathew McDermott, Goldman’s global head of Digital Assets.

“It’s in the best interest of the market to have something that is industry-owned,” he stated. Electronic trading platform Tradeweb Markets Inc. is its first strategic partner that will work with Goldman to bring new commercial use cases to the digital assets platform. This reflects a growing trend among large institutions to integrate blockchain technology into traditional financial systems.

Goldman’s move mirrors a broader industry trend, where major financial institutions and governments are embracing blockchain technology to enhance the efficiency of traditional asset trading and settlement processes.

In another initiative, Goldman is looking to support secondary transactions in private digital asset companies for its clients. This could make it easier for family offices and other clients looking for liquidity while also allowing buyers to take advantage of private market discounts. The firm also noted that it is preparing to resume its Bitcoin-backed lending activities.

“If you are trying to build out a scalable marketplace, you want to have the right strategic participants embracing this technology,” McDermott said. “You want a number that is nimble enough to operate, driven by the commercial use cases.”

Goldman Sachs Bullish On Bitcoin
Goldman has maintained a bullish stance on Bitcoin throughout the year. In a Nov. 14 filing with the SEC, Goldman Sachs reported about $718 million in holdings in eight Bitcoin ETFs. It has added $300 million to its Bitcoin ETF portfolio since the second quarter, marking a 71% increase. It has also planned to launch three tokenization projects by the end of this year.

BRICS COUNTRIES ARE REJECTING DE-DOLLARIZATION

The BRICS alliance was hellbent on kick-starting the de-dollarization agenda until the 16th summit in Russia’s Kazan region. Things have now taken a U-turn as the bloc members are slowly backtracking on the initiative.

The US dollar was seen as the main villain of the global economy where local currencies were kept at its mercy.

The agenda to break free from the clutches of the US dollar ignited the de-dollarization process started by the BRICS bloc. 

After Trump reclaimed the White House, talks about using the US dollar for trade are growing among member nations. Trump vowed to introduce a 100% tariff on all goods coming into the US for countries that denounce the USD.

If the tariff comes into effect, the financial discrepancies could hit the BRICS alliance harder than thought. Their import and export sector will take the first hit leading to losses by paying up extra in taxes. This could make BRICS rethink their strategies as de-dollarization could only harm their native economies.

BRICS Slowly Backtracking on De-Dollarization

BRICS member India was the first to publicly reject the de-dollarization agenda kick-started by the bloc. The Foreign Minister of India, S. Jaishankar confirmed that the country is not interested in the de-dollarization process.

He revealed that India will use local currencies only when the option to not settle trade in the US dollar arises. “We have never actively targeted the US dollar. That’s not part of our economic, political, or strategic policy,” he said.

In addition, BRICS member Russia is also slowly backtracking on the de-dollarization process after Trump’s victory. Putin called the USD a “pillar of US power.” 

He added, “Our proposals are not aimed against [the] dollar. This is simply us rising to the challenge of modern times, in response towards the development of the economy we are thinking.”

BLACKROCK RECEIVES LICENSE TO OPERATE IN ABU DHABI

BlackRock has secured a license in Abu Dhabi, focusing on AI and private markets while expanding its presence in the UAE’s crypto-friendly ecosystem.

BlackRock, the multinational investment firm and spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer, received a commercial license to operate in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

According to Bloomberg, the approval granted on Nov. 18 reflects BlackRock’s interest in expanding in the crypto-friendly region.

The company is also seeking a license to operate in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), an international financial hub in Abu Dhabi, home to crypto companies like Blockdaemon, M2 and Laser Digital.

BlackRock to focus on AI infrastructure in Abu Dhabi

Despite the UAE being a popular crypto hub, the report did not mention digital assets. BlackRock’s Middle East head, Charles Hatami, said in a statement to Bloomberg that the company will focus on private markets and artificial intelligence infrastructure.  

The move aligns with broader AI investments in Abu Dhabi. On April 16, Microsoft announced that it had invested $1.6 billion in an Abu Dhabi-based AI tech holding company called G42. The technology conglomerate said that the investment aims to push AI development in the region and globally.

On Sept. 17, Microsoft also announced that it would be establishing two AI centers in Abu Dhabi as part of its global AI expansion. One center would support AI projects to solve “key societal goals,” while the other would develop industry standards for responsible AI use.

BlackRock has yet to provide further details on its plans for the UAE beyond obtaining a license to operate in the region.

Crypto-friendly investment fund lays roots in a digital asset hub
Hatami said Abu Dhabi has become a “global financial center.” He also praised the region’s government for being proactive and committed. The executive stated:

“Its strategic location, proactive government policies, and commitment to sustainable growth make it an ideal location for capital markets.”

BlackRock issues the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, which gives United States-based investors exposure to Bitcoin. On Nov. 8, the spot Bitcoin ETF surpassed $33 billion in net assets, exceeding its iShares Gold Trust ETF, which gives investors exposure to gold.

The UAE continues to establish itself as a leader in digital finance. On Aug. 30, the country ranked third in a crypto adoption index released by Henley & Partners, an investment migration consultancy firm.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE IPO ON THE HORIZON? SBI CEO URGES ACTION AS XRP LAWSUIT HEATS UP

XRP surged above $1.20 over the weekend, marking an 87% weekly gain and hitting a three-year high. The rally gained momentum after 18 U.S. states sued the SEC and its chairman, Gary Gensler, accusing the agency of overreaching in its regulation of the crypto industry. This significant development reignited discussions around Ripple’s potential Initial Public Offering (IPO).

With Trump’s win, many speculations are doing the rounds like the Ripple vs SEC case dismissal, IPO, and Stablecoin launch. Since the regulatory matters are at ease, there are chances that Ripple may come with an IPO soon to maximize the current bull run.  

SBI CEO Pushes for Ripple’s IPO

Yoshitaka Kitao, CEO of SBI Holdings, has urged Ripple to start preparing for an IPO “as soon as possible” once its legal battle with the SEC concludes. Ripple has been entangled in a prolonged lawsuit with the SEC, which recently filed an appeal in October. However, many analysts speculate that the SEC’s internal shake-ups could lead to the appeal being dropped, clearing Ripple’s path for a public offering.

Brad Garlinghouse’s Take on IPO Plans

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has reiterated that while an IPO is not currently a “high priority,” he hasn’t ruled it out entirely. In 2022, he mentioned that Ripple would consider going public after resolving the SEC lawsuit. Though Ripple’s financial stability reduces the immediate need for an IPO, Garlinghouse had earlier envisioned the company going public within a year, a timeline disrupted by ongoing legal challenges.

Ripple Co-Founder Transfers XRP

Amid XRP’s price rally, Ripple co-founder Arthur Britto moved 80 million XRP tokens, with 10 million heading to Binance. This movement has sparked speculation within the community about Ripple’s potential plans, including whether the company is inching closer to an IPO.

Ripple’s Future at a Crossroads
While the IPO discussion gains traction, Ripple remains in a “wait-and-see” mode. The company’s past plans for an IPO were derailed by the SEC lawsuit, but recent legal and market developments may bring the idea back into focus. With regulatory hurdles potentially easing, Ripple’s IPO could mark a historic shift in its trajectory, offering investors a new avenue to engage with the blockchain leader.

In the meanwhile, XRP surged by 25% today, nearing the local resistance level of $1.0739. If buyers maintain momentum, a breakout could push the price to $1.10 and potentially to the $1.15-$1.20 range next week. However, if the weekly candle closes far from this resistance, a correction to the $0.90-$0.95 zone may occur. At press time, XRP trades at $1.0522.

SEC CHAIR GARY GENSLER’S BEHAVIOR CANNOT BE CHALKED OFF AS ‘GOOD FAITH MISTAKES,’ SAYS TYLER WINKLEVOSS

Winklevoss believes that Gary Gensler should never be allowed to hold any position of influence to prevent future misuse of government power.

The actions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair Gary Gensler cannot be “explained away” as “good faith mistakes,” former Olympic rower and crypto exchange Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss wrote in a post on X on Saturday. He added:

“It [Gensler’s actions] was entirely thought out, intentional, and purposeful to fulfill his personal, political agenda at any cost.”

Gensler carried out his actions regardless of consequences, Winklevoss said, calling Gensler “evil.” Gensler did not care if his actions meant “nuking an industry, tens of thousands of jobs, people’s livelihoods, billions of invested capital, and more.”

Winklevoss further stated that Gensler has caused irrevocable damage to the crypto industry and the country, which no “amount of apology can undo.”

Venting his frustration, Winklevoss wrote:

“Americans have had enough of their tax dollars going towards a government that is supposed to protect them, but instead is wielded against them by politicians looking to advance their careers.”

Winklevoss believes that Gensler should not be allowed to hold any position at “any institution, big or small.” He added that Gensler “should never again have a position of influence, power, or consequence.”

In fact, Winklevoss said that any institution, whether a company or university, that hires or works with Gensler after his stint at the SEC “is betraying the crypto industry and should be boycotted aggressively.”

According to Winklevoss, stopping Gensler from gaining any power again is the “only way” to prevent misuse of government power in the future. Winklevoss has long been a vocal critic of the SEC and Gensler, who he believes uses the ‘regulation through enforcement’ doctrine.

Winklevoss is far from being the only one accusing the SEC of abusing its powers. Earlier this week, 18 U.S. states, filed a lawsuit against the SEC and Gensler, alleging “gross government overreach.”

Republican President-elect Donald Trump promised to fire Gensler on his first day back at the White House during his election campaign. The Winklevoss brothers donated the maximum allowed amount per individual to Trump’s campaign.

The SEC is an independent agency, which means the President does not have the authority to fire Gensler. However, Gensler’s term ends in July 2025.

Trump transition team officials are preparing a short list of key financial agency heads they will present to the president-elect soon, Reuters reported earlier this month citing people familiar with the matter. So far, there are three contenders for the list: Dan Gallagher, former SEC commissioner and current chief legal and compliance officer at Robinhood; Paul Atkins, former SEC commissioner and CEO of consultancy firm Patomak Global Partners; and Robert Stebbins, a partner at law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher who served as SEC general counsel during Trump’s first presidency.

While nothing is set in stone yet, Gallagher is the frontrunner, according to the report.

HOSKINSON EXPLAINS WHY CARDANO IS PREFERRED; ADA TO HIT AN ATH SOON?

Amidst the broader market optimism, Cardano’s price has been showing impressive surges lately as evidenced by its recent rally. Additionally, a flurry of developments around its founder Charles Hoskinson has also sparked market optimism.

Why Will It Reach An ATH?
In a latest X post, Hoskinson has praised the Cardano community. He explained why people prefer Cardano as he underscored that “We have the best community and the best entrepreneurs.

It’s a harder road, but it will change the world.” further, he also predicted the Voltaire update to make the ecosystem the “finest government ever assembled by humanity.”

Additionally, Charles Hoskinson visiting Elon Musk’s SpaceX office has also sparked speculations, given Musk’s rising influence in the US political landscape.

Besides, Hoskinson has recently said that he would support the Trump Government in shaping crypto legislation. He seeks to help the US administration in framing clear regulatory frameworks for digital assets, which have encountered regulatory pressure over the past few years.

Ripple CEO’s Comments Adds To The Optimism
The recent comments from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse have also incited market optimism. He stated:

“The crypto industry has embraced Trump, Trump has embraced the crypto industry. I think it’s very genuine, and I think he sees the opportunity, he sees innovation, he sees entrepreneurship and I’m very excited about what the future holds.”

Garlinghouse highlighted that U.S.-linked crypto assets, such as XRP, SOL, and ADA, have outperformed other tokens due to the expected easing of regulatory pressure. He noted that the anticipation over pro-crypto policies under Trump administration has fueled the rally.

Besides, a prominent crypto market analyst Ali Martinez recently said that Cardano price is poised to hit $6 in 2025, further fueling the expectations of a potential ADA rally to its new ATH.

First Ever zkApp Launched On Cardano’s Midnight Sidechain
In the latest development, the first-ever zero-knowledge application (zkApp) has been launched on Cardano’s Midnight sidechain, that has excited both the community and the founder Charles Hoskinson as well. This innovation is a result of Midnight partnering with Paima Studios.

Sebastien Guillemot, the co-founder of Paima Studios, announced the launch of the zkApp on X. At its core, this partnership is set to simplify the development of multi-stack decentralized applications (dApps) and empower developers to leverage the strengths of different blockchain ecosystems seamlessly.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS WILL DRIVE RWA TOKENIZATION’S TRILLION-DOLLAR GROWTH

The real-world asset tokenization industry is projected by some to exceed $30 trillion by 2030, driven by nimble and mainstream financial institutions.

Financial institutions will be the main drivers of the growing tokenization industry leading up to 2030, which could potentially see more than 50-fold growth.

Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization refers to financial and other tangible assets minted on the immutable blockchain ledger, increasing investor accessibility and trading opportunities around these assets.

Large financial institutions will be the main drivers of the tokenization sector’s significant growth, according to Jesse Knutson, the head of operations at Bitfinex Securities.

Institutions are already driving significant growth in the crypto industry, which could spill over into the tokenization sector, Knutson told Cointelegraph during an exclusive at Plan B Lugano:

“It's the more nimble institutions, the fast movers, like the family offices, those kind of guys. I think they'll have an outsized impact in these early days. But eventually, the benefits of tokenization, they're going to pull in the mainstream institutional investors.

Some of the world’s largest financial institutions and business consulting firms say the RWA sector may see a more than 50-fold increase by 2030, potentially reaching over $30 trillion.

Tokenized securities: a $ trillion opportunity
Most firms predict that the RWA sector will reach a market size of between $4 trillion and $30 trillion by 2030.

If the sector were to achieve the median prediction of about $10 trillion, it would represent more than 54 times growth from its current value of around $185 billion, including the stablecoin market, according to a Tren Finance research report.

Still, stablecoins continue to dominate the RWA sector, accounting for over $170 billion of the market as of October 2024. In comparison, securities and treasuries tokenized onchain are valued at $2.2 billion.

RWA sector will follow the crypto industry’s growth trajectory: Bitfinex
Bitcoin saw significant growth this year, rising over 116% year-to-date, after receiving a significant institutional nod in the form of the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States.

The RWA tokenization industry will likely follow the growth trajectory of the crypto space, said Bitfinex Securities’ Knutson:

“The consensus view is that markets are going to evolve, and the direction they're probably going to evolve is, is something similar to how the digital asset industry has grown over the years.”

Increasingly, more institutions are betting on the RWA sector’s success, including the world’s largest asset management firm, BlackRock. Other financial institutions are running tokenization pilots, including UBS Asset Management.

HBAR GOES TO SPACE! SPACEX AND HEDERA TO PIONEER SATELLITE PAYMENT NETWORKS

▪️Hedera Hashgraph could be powering SpaceX to space after multiple key figures confirmed a groundbreaking partnership with Elon Musk’s company.

▪️Hedera’s ability to process trillions of transactions per second and track space traffic was part of the several reasons for its consideration.

Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) could soon go into space as a renowned crypto investor and expert discloses a groundbreaking partnership with SpaceX. According to Shawn, Hedera would be primarily responsible for facilitating crypto transactions in space. 

Meanwhile, this could mark a huge breakthrough for satellite-to-satellite payment networks while subjecting transactions across Earth and space to a significant transformation.

Why Hedera?
According to experts, Hedera provides cutting-edge solutions to all the challenges of the previous blockchain technologies. Explaining this in a blog post authored by Shawn in 2023, it was disclosed that Hedera can facilitate trillions of transactions per second.

 Comparatively, Ethereum can only manage 12-15 transactions per second. Meanwhile, Hedera executes these levels of operation while consuming 970.000.000 less energy than Ethereum.

Explaining the application of Hashgraph in space, Shawn highlighted five key use cases in his post.

Secure Satellite Communication and Payment Networks
According to Shawn, SpaceX’s Starlink has issues with making uncensored, fast, and secure internet connectivity worldwide.

This has been a challenge since its internet access depends on the server infrastructure on Earth. In this case, a targeted attack on the data centers or global nuclear fallout could render this infrastructure useless. Fascinatingly, the use of Hashgraph technology alongside Starlink, according to Shawn, could put these disruptions under control.

Tokenization of Resources from Asteroid Mining
Shawn also argued that asteroids could be tokenized on Hashgraph with the extraction of the resources financed by people globally.

Space Supply Chain Management
Hashgraph is also reported to possess the ability to enable companies to monitor the carbon emissions of their supply chain. In addition to that, they can keep progress in every step of their production of a rocket from start to finish.

Tracking & Management of Space Traffic
According to the report, Hashgraph possesses unique qualities for managing space traffic. Seven of these features listed by Shawn are:

▪️Real-Time Monitoring and Coordination
▪️Decentralization
▪️Consensus and security
▪️Efficiency and scalability
▪️Interoperability
▪️Smart contract for automated responses
▪️Data integrity and transparency.

Smart Contracts for Autonomous Spacecraft and Space Vehicles
The combination of artificial intelligence and Hedera is reported to enable spacecraft and space vehicles to autonomously make decisions. Fascinatingly, this is said to be done by executing different predefined scenarios without necessarily minimizing human errors.

Smart contracts can be programmed with logic that allows spacecraft to make decisions based on real-time data. For example, if a satellite detects an obstacle or another satellite on a collision course, the smart contract can automatically execute maneuvers to avoid a collision without the need for ground intervention.

According to our investigation, the movement of Hedera to space has also been confirmed by the CEO of WISeKey Carlos Creus Moreira.

In his announcement on X, Moreira disclosed that this groundbreaking mission would redefine innovation.

World-first: testing the exchange of SEALCOIN directly from space as a proof of concept. This is a major leap forward in secure satellite communication and blockchain integration with Hedera Hashgraph, paving the way for the future of space-based digital cryptocurrency transactions.

Meanwhile, CNF has also reported that Cardano could be embarking on a partnership journey with SpaceX with the co-founder Charles Hoskinson recently dropping a teaser on X.

At press time, HBAR was trading at $0.085 after surging by 21% in the last 24 hours.

BRICS MEETING WITH SAUDI ARABIA: MAJOR DISCUSSION POINTS UNVEILED

Despite the ongoing confusion regarding the country’s position within the economic alliance, the BRICS bloc and Saudi Arabia have met, with major points of discussion being unveiled. The nation had previously accepted an invitation to be among its first expanded members. However, that proved not to be the case, with major leadership not even attending the alliance’s 2024 Summit.

However, the two sides are still reportedly engaged in positive talks. Specifically, they have met to confront the potential for growing cooperation on a global scale.

The move could have major ramifications for the coming year. Moreover, it could be a turning point that reestablishes Riyadh as a key BRICS ally.

Saudi Arabia & BRICS Hold Key Discussion: Here’s What Was Said
The BRICS bloc has grown massively over the last year. Indeed, it had enacted a groundbreaking expansion in 2023, where four nations joined the collective. Specifically, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, Iran, and Ethiopia became the first expansion countries since 2001.

Yet, one nation that had accepted, but did not join the bloc was Saudi Arabia. Indeed, the country was poised to be one of the most important additions to the economic alliance. Its dominance in the oil sector was expected to only strengthen the group’s position. However, the country would end up rejecting a full position within the bloc.

That hasn’t stopped the two sides from engaging in efforts to strengthen their relations. Indeed, BRICS has met with Saudi Arabia in recent discussions that sought to fortify their relationship. Specifically, reports how Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud, recently talked.

According to reports, the two sides discussed the success of the bloc’s 2024 Summit. Moreover, they affirmed the “importance of continued coordination between the two states” within economic collaborations. Finally, they both spoke highly of the ongoing trajectory of their nation’s partnerships.

However, they also highlighted the importance of their “readiness to further strengthen cooperation in political, trade, economic, and humanitarian spheres.” The bloc has recently shifted its focus amid an ever-changing geopolitical landscape.

With Donald Trump’s election taking place this month, the group has said they will no longer ditch the US dollar. Perhaps the absence of Western opposition makes continued partnership with Saudi Arabia more appealing to the Middle Eastern powerhouse.

UK GOVERNMENT CONFIRMS DIGITAL GILTS PILOT. WHAT’S THE ROADMAP?

The UK’s HM Treasury has confirmed plans to run a pilot for the issuance of digital gilts, UK government bonds, following leaked news earlier this week. The previous Conservative government had also planned to organize a pilot.

t’s seen as an important step for UK capital markets, particularly as the UK has launched a Digital Securities Sandbox for DLT and tokenization pilots.

The UK could benefit more than other jurisdictions. One of the killer apps for blockchain in capital markets is repurchase agreements or repos, which involve exchanging cash for gilts. This allows banks and institutions to either lend excess liquidity or borrow it if they are short.

Conventional repos involve delayed securities settlement, which means repo duration is typically overnight. By contrast, blockchain supports instant settlement enabling intraday repo. The ability to manage liquidity for hours at a time is very attractive to banks and other institutions.

Intraday repo is already happening by tokenizing existing Treasuries in the United States. A native digital gilt would make the process far easier.

On top of that, the UK has Fnality, a tokenized cash settlement network backed by an omnibus account at the Bank of England. Fnality is backed by more than 20 institutions.

Hence, with a digital gilt, the UK will have both a digital security and cash on chain.

With the previous government floating the idea, industry trade body UK Finance collaborated with EY to draft a digital gilt roadmap. It submitted it to the government in April, but published it today.

A digital gilt roadmap
It suggests two alternative approaches, one is more evolutionary whereas the other is a Big Bang path.

In the multi-staged approach it suggests issuing a short dated digital Treasury bill within the first six months with only a limited number of market participants.

In the second phase within the first year, a medium term digital gilt would have more functionality. For example, it would involve more market makers and a wider group of investors.

Most importantly, it would be integrated with the existing off-chain secondary market, with the gilts eligible as collateral for repo. These are essential steps to ensure liquidity.

The third phase within 18 months would involve another issuance with both the trading of gilts and repo performed on chain.

The Big Bang approach would essentially skip the first two steps and happen in a more compressed time frame. The UK Finance paper outlines the pros and cons of each path.

A major hurdle could be the legal and regulatory work needed to support digital gilts being used as collateral for repo and other purposes. Plus, there’s the need to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity.

Switzerland is one of the most advanced jurisdictions in this area. Its central bank considers using digital Treasury bills for money market operations as premature, given the immaturity of the DLT sector.

However, Switzerland was the first mover in launching a digital securities exchange, so progress unsurprisingly has been slow going. By contrast, there’s been strong interest and engagement in the ECB’s wholesale DLT settlement trials, with market participants hoping the trials won’t end.

UK Finance believes that with the digital gilt program “the UK can lay the groundwork for a robust and innovative digital capital market ecosystem, bolstering its position as a global leader in financial technology and digital finance.”

TRUMP NOMINATES FORMER SEC CHAIR AS SDNY ATTORNEY

Trump nominates Jay Clayton to lead the highly influential office.

A familiar figure who enforced securities regulations against the crypto industry under the previous Trump Administration may soon find himself back in power, this time as a chief federal prosecutor.

What’s the Scoop?

Presidential Appointment: 

In an announcement to Truth Social followers on November 14, President Elect Donald Trump made public his intention to nominate former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair Jay Clayton as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Key Enforcer:  

Notably, the SDNY jurisdiction encompasses Manhattan; the trial district has long been one of the most active in the United States and often decides matters related to American financial institutions and the prosecution of white-collar crime.

Bankless Take:
Trump presented himself as crypto’s champion on the campaign trail, but Clayton’s appointment as U.S. Attorney for a key federal prosecutorial district has offended many within the industry. 

While crypto participants remain optimistic for the impending Trump Administration embrace, Clayton’s appointment threatens to increase enforcement actions against blockchain-based issuers of unregistered security products.

This Newshound agrees with Bankless on this appointment!

US ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK TO PARE BACK CRYPTO-RELATED CASES: REUTERS

▪️The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York has brought a number of high-profile cases, including against former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.

▪️The news comes a day after President-elect Donald Trump tapped Jay Clayton to lead that office.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, a prominent and powerful court that has brought numerous high-profile crypto-related cases, plans to cut back on cases related to crypto, according to one of its top prosecutors.

That doesn't mean prosecutors there will disregard crypto cases, but fewer people will be working on them compared to 2022, Scott Hartman, co-chief of the securities and commodities fraud task force at the Manhattan Court said during a Practising Law Institute conference on Friday, according to reporting from Reuters.

"You won't see as much crypto stuff coming out of at least the SDNY in the future," Hartman said at the conference.

Prosecutors in Manhattan brought several high-profile cases against crypto industry players including against former FTX CEO Sam Bankman Fried and Celsius founder Alexander Mashinsky. Both firms filed for bankruptcy in 2022.

Hartman's comments come a day after President-elect Donald Trump tapped Jay Clayton to lead that office as Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Clayton previously served as chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 2017 to 2020 and led the agency through the initial coin offering boom of 2017-2018. During that time, his office filed several high-profile lawsuits against prominent and lowly crypto projects. Before leaving the SEC, charges were filed against Ripple. 

The SEC accused the firm of raising $1.3 billion through the sale of XRP, which the agency says is an unregistered security. The case is ongoing after a New York judge gave both parties a partial win and both have filed appeals.

SDNY's Hartman also said on Friday that SDNY knows that its "regulatory partners are very active in this space." Both the U.S. SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have brought numerous cases involving crypto over the years, including against FTX, Binance and other crypto entities.

PRO-BITCOIN MATT GAETZ NOMINATED AS U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL

Matt Gaetz, a Florida Representatives and American lawyer, has been nominated as Attorney General by President-elect Donald Trump. Gaetz was assigned due to his educational and career experience in law.

President-elect Donald Trump nominated Matt Gaetsz, pro-bitcoin and Florida representative, to be the next U.S. Attorney General. Following this nomination, he resigned from the House of Representative on Nov. 13, 2024.

According to the Nov. 13 X post, Trump praised Gaetz as a determined attorney committed to driving much-needed reform at the Department of Justice.

Gaetz expects to prioritize ending weaponized government, strengthening border security, dismantling criminal organizations, and exposing the potential of government corruption and weaponization.

“He is a champion for the constitution and the rule of law. Matt Gaetz will root out the systematic corruption at DOJ, and return the department to its true mission of fighting crime, and upholding our democracy and constitution.”

Elon Musk, recently appointed as head of Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E), replied to his X post, congratulating Gaetz on his new role.

Matt Gaetz stances on crypto
Earlier this year, on June 25 as a member of Congress Gaetz introduced a bill advocating for Bitcoin to be accepted as payment for Americans for federal income tax. The bill was proposed after he visited El Salvador and aimed to modernize the U.S. tax system.

The aggressive move made would “promote innovation, increase efficiency, and offer more flexibility to American citizens.”

The proposal seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to accept Bitcoin for tax payment and expand this payment option to other federal services.

Gaetz has also advocated for various crypto deregulations and pushed back against the federal agency’s oversight. He is arguing that the measure would stifle innovation and growth.

His appointment as an Attorney General highlights potential approaches to law enforcement and more flexible regulations within the crypto industry under the Trump presidency.

CHINA COULD REASSESS CRYPTO BAN DUE TO TRUMP, HASHKEY CEO CLAIMS

HashKey Group Chairman and CEO Xiao Feng has indicated that China’s stringent stance on cryptocurrencies could soften within the next two years, influenced by the pro-crypto policies expected under US President-elect Donald Trump. Xiao believes that clear regulatory support in the United States could serve as a catalyst for China to reconsider its current ban.

Why China Could Reconsider Its Crypto Ban
“If the US Congress and the new president establish clear crypto policies and actively promote the industry, it would certainly be a driving force for China to accept cryptocurrencies,” Xiao stated in an interview with the South China Morning Post.

Xiao also pointed to geopolitical factors that might accelerate China’s acceptance of digital assets. The exclusion of Russia from the SWIFT financial messaging system by the US and its allies in 2022 has underscored the importance of alternative financial infrastructures.

 This move, part of sanctions related to the conflict in Ukraine, may prompt China to explore crypto more earnestly to safeguard its financial autonomy.

“Without these events, China might have needed five or six years to accept cryptocurrency businesses. Now, due to these factors, that timeframe could be shortened to two years,” Xiao explained.

Over the past several years, China has enforced a strict ban on initial coin offerings (ICOs), crypto trading, mining, and other related activities. Authorities have cited concerns over financial stability and the potential for illicit activities as primary reasons for the crackdown.

 Despite this, Hong Kong has been permitted to develop its digital asset industry, positioning itself as a potential bridge should mainland China relax its regulations.

Should China decide to re-engage with the digital asset market, Xiao suggests that regulated stablecoins could be the initial focus. “Stablecoins are currently the best solution for cross-border business-to-consumer trade,” he noted.

Supporting this view, HashKey conducted a survey in Yiwu, a major manufacturing and trade hub in mainland China. The survey revealed that nearly all merchants had received inquiries from international buyers about making payments using popular US dollar-based stablecoins such as USDT and USDC.

HashKey Group operates HashKey Exchange, one of Hong Kong’s three licensed crypto exchanges. The company plans to launch its own blockchain, the HashKey Chain, next month.

With over 300 employees in Hong Kong and additional teams in Singapore, Tokyo, Dubai, Bermuda, and Europe, HashKey is expanding its global footprint.

While the Chinese government has not indicated any immediate plans to relax its crypto ban, Xiao emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong presence in Hong Kong. “Only by staying in Hong Kong can we serve mainland China when that market opens up. We firmly believe that day will come,” he asserted.

18 GOP AGS SUE SEC AS GENSLER HINTS RESIGNATION

Donald Trump’s promise of a U.S. SEC without Gary Gensler may be realized ahead of schedule amid state lawsuits and resignation chatter.

Wall Street’s top cop-on-the-beat has been accused of “unconstitutional overreach” and “unfair persecution” of the $3 trillion cryptocurrency industry, according to a lawsuit signed by 18 Republican Attorneys Generals.

The lawsuit alleges that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and its commissioners, led by chair Gary Gensler, overstepped their jurisdiction and disregarded state economic autonomy.

Litigation from GOP AGs and states has added to the existing scrutiny of Gensler’s SEC career. Top lawmakers have opened an investigation into the SEC’s hiring practices amid suspicions of politically biased recruitment, which has spurred the inquiry.

Several members of Congress have called for his resignation, and Donald Trump has promised the digital asset industry that he would dismiss Gensler.

Is Gary Gensler retiring?
Social media is buzzing with speculation that Gensler might be on his way out as SEC Chairman. His comments in a note on Nov. 14, calling his time at the SEC “a great honor” and praising his colleagues for their dedication, have fueled rumors of a possible imminent retirement.

The SEC is a remarkable agency. The staff and Commission are deeply mission-driven, focused on protecting investors, maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitating capital formation.

Gary Gensler, SEC chair

He added that it’s been a privilege to serve with the SEC “doing the people’s work and ensuring that our capital markets remain the best in the world.”

A firm stance on crypto regulation has marked Gensler’s tenure at the securities regulator. Blockchain industry players increasingly anticipate changes in leadership and policy enforcement from the SEC after years of grappling with Gensler’s regulatory approach.

The SEC has ongoing court cases against firms like Coinbase and Ripple. As such, Gensler’s potential departure has become a focal point for speculation on how regulatory policies might shift under new leadership.

Senator Lummis Proposes Selling Fed’s Gold To Fund Strategic BTC Reserve: Bloomberg

According to a latest Bloomberg report, Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming has proposed to sell a part of the Federal Reserve’s gold holdings to purchase one million Bitcoins for the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve. 

The Senator, an ally of Donald Trump, has a plan for filling up the president-elect’s proposed strategic Bitcoin stockpile without adding to the government deficit.

The bill calls for the US to acquire 1 million Bitcoin, representing nearly 5% of the outstanding tokens. Cynthia Lummis estimates this would cost around $90 billion based on current prices, but the sum could rise if the market anticipates the government’s involvement.

“We already have the financial assets in the form of gold certificates to convert to Bitcoin,” Lummis said in an interview with Bloomberg. “So the effect on the US balance sheet is pretty neutral.”

According to Lummis’ bill, the cryptocurrency would be held for a minimum of 20 years, and the presumed appreciation in value would help to reduce the national debt.

Uphill Battles To Be Faced
Despite the industry hopes that this will be the most crypto-friendly Congress ever, some market watchers believe that Lummis’ bill, which currently has no co-sponsors, faces an uphill battle.

“It’s still putting government money on the line, and Bitcoin has not shown itself to be a particularly stable asset,” noted Jennifer J. Schulp, director of financial regulation studies at the Cato Institute’s Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives.

She further added that “the bill asks senators and members of Congress, who may not understand crypto that well, to make a much bigger leap of faith in terms of its long-term viability.”

Novogratz Doubtful Of US Creating Strategic BTC Reserve
Michael Novogratz, the CEO of Galaxy Digital, believes there is a low likelihood of US setting up a Bitcoin strategic reserve. However, if it does, Novogratz predicted that this would push its price to $500,000 since other nations would feel compelled to create similar stockpiles.

Lummis first unveiled her bill at the Bitcoin 2024 conference after Trump announced his ambition to create a government Bitcoin reserve. After a most anticipated Trump win, the crypto market has surged massively with Bitcoin making newer highs above $93,000.

Lummis is optimistic that her BITCOIN bill, short for Boosting Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide, will gain support in the next Congress.

She noted that Trump has already endorsed the idea of a reserve and his closest advisers include people who understand Bitcoin and its role in our future.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

MARKET PARTICIPANTS URGE ECB TO EXTEND WHOLESALE DLT TRIALS

For the last six months the European Central Bank (ECB) has been orchestrating wholesale DLT settlement trials using central bank money. More than 70 institutions have taken part, with three different payment options available.

 Today three of the most active participants – Deutsche Börse’s Clearstream, DekaBank and Union Investment – shared their lessons as part of a Frankfurt School Blockchain Center event.

One of the three payment options was the Bundesbank’s Trigger solution, which has its own blockchain that triggers a payment on the Target2 payment system. The Banque de France has its DL3S blockchain that tokenizes central bank cash as a pilot wholesale CBDC.

And the Bank of Italy provided its TIPS Hashlink solution, a lightweight escrow smart contract for the TIPS payment system which requires little infrastructure investment.

All the participants were extremely positive about the trials and keen to see them continue.

The combination of tokenization and central bank money can cut costs, reduce risks and yield efficiencies. Several times they mentioned the potential for a digital capital markets union, as recently discussed by ECB Director Piero Cipollone.

Another consensus was the desire to hear the ECB’s roadmap for next steps before the settlement trials finish at the end of this month.

Calls for the wholesale DLT settlement trials to continue

Clearstream’s Thilo Derenbach and Dekabank’s Michael Cyrus want to avoid losing momentum. Hence, they are both keen to keep the settlement solutions available.

“We would strongly recommend that the ECB does not now close the trial period and wait for many months or possibly years to then proceed with scalable BAU (business as usual) sort of implementation of the payment rails,” said Mr Derenbach.

 “Rather communicate soon to the market how the continued ongoing usage of one, two or three or other payment solutions would be made available. The market is ready.”

Mr Cyrus expressed a similar sentiment, noting that the Bundesbank’s Trigger solution had been around for two years before the trials started. “Now if we have to wait another two or three years, this would be a clear sign that innovation is not coming to the market as quick as we like and I think as quick as the market is ready for,” said Mr Cyrus.

That kind of continuity would allow market players to focus on building out other aspects of the ecosystem, such as secondary markets. He noted that relatively few asset managers were buying the tokenized issuance because of a lack of secondary markets and the need for digital securities to be eligible as collateral for central bank activities. Digital securities should be treated the same as conventional securities.

Ideally he would like to see the Trigger solution remain available. Experimentation with tokenized commercial bank money would also be desirable.

We previously highlighted that German firms dominated the trials which works in favor of the Trigger solution, as opposed to a decision purely on the merits of each option.

Wholesale CBDC in medium term
While all three participants were reluctant to select one solution over others, the Trigger solution came to the fore. Arguably, for a digital capital markets union, broadening the options could be on the cards. We’d note that the Bank of Spain is also developing a solution. Spain’s developer is the technology partner for Fnality, the wholesale tokenized payment solution that is already in production.

All three institutions seemed to envision a wholesale CBDC as the ultimate solution, with the use of existing payment rail integrations such as the Trigger and TIPS Hashlink solutions, seen as more important in the short term.

Union Investment’s Christoph Hock said he’d heard that it would take at least two years for the Banque de France’s wholesale CBDC to go into production.

 “Stablecoins could come into production already in 2025. I think a wholesale CBDC solution by the ECB somewhere in 27/28 potentially wouldn’t be helpful for the market,” he said. 

Hence he suggested a production version of the Trigger solution could be ready in late 2025 or early 2026 and in the meantime work could progress on the wholesale CBDC with the Banque de France.

Mr Hock also observed the important role that the central banks in Switzerland and Singapore have played in making their countries leaders in the tokenization space. 

Switzerland has extended its six month wholesale CBDC pilot for a further two years. He envisions that the Bundesbank in combination with the ECB could launch a world first with a production Trigger solution.

RIPPLE VS SEC UPDATE: XRP LAWSUIT TAKES POSITIVE TURN AHEAD OF 2025 TRIAL

▪️XRP News Today: Ripple scores a significant legal victory as a US court rules in favor of Ripple Labs in the ongoing XRP lawsuit, narrowing the scope of class claims.

▪️Ripple Lawsuit Update: Judge Phyllis Hamilton grants Ripple’s motion for final judgment on settled class claims, limiting the case and setting a trial date for January 2025.

▪️The news of Ripple's legal win boosts XRP sentiment, with potential positive effects on XRP price action in the coming months

In the latest development, Ripple has scored a legal victory. In the ongoing In re Ripple Labs Inc. litigation, a US court has ruled in favor of Ripple Labs, XRP II LLC and Brad Garlinghouse.

This is a huge win for Ripple in the long-running case over unregistered securities sales. Judge Phyllis Hamilton granted Ripple’s motion for final judgment on certain class claims, which limits the case and sets up a trial in January 2025.

Key Lawsuit Details
Ripple and the plaintiffs jointly filed a motion seeking final judgment on settled class claims and a pause on remaining claims while appeals are pending. 

Judge Phyllis Hamilton’s order specifically addresses the class action claims related to unregistered securities sales, Ripple’s potential liability as a “control person,” and alleged California securities law violations.

With this ruling, the court has scheduled a trial for January 21, 2025, while pausing previous pretrial deadlines until appeals of the class claims are resolved.

Ripple’s Push for Clarity

Ripple’s request for this final judgment aims to streamline the legal process, clarify remaining claims, and shorten the case’s timeline. The court has also encouraged both sides to consider alternative dispute resolutions, hinting that settlement discussions may be on the horizon in the coming months.

Implications of the Ripple vs SEC Case
The Ripple case has implications for the SEC v. Ripple Labs case where the U.S. SEC is accusing Ripple of violating federal securities laws. Ripple’s win could further enhance the confidence in their stance against the SEC.

Especially after Trump has hinted towards regulatory clarity in the industry, and promised to fire Gary Gensler, the market anxiously awaits an action from the administration. Legal experts and Ripple CTO David Schwartz believe that a dismissal or settlement is possible. Attorney Fred Rispoli had stated that while a settlement appears more realistic, however, a full dismissal might be unlikely.

Gary Gensler To Exit Soon?
While Trump’s inauguration is set for January 20, the pro-XRP attorney James Murphy (MetaLawMan on X) believes Gensler may vacate his post as early as this month. Gensler’s potential resignation and a pro-crypto replacement could fuel a significant market resurgence.

XRP’s price remains closely tied to the regulatory clarity surrounding the token. Attorney Case Darwin agreed with a trader who noted that ‘not owning XRP during this run will be one of the biggest mistakes many will make’. 

He shared that people will not buy it, as the SEC appealed the district court’s decision, in which Ripple won a resounding victory. He emphasized that the BTC hype and its appeal will keep them away. XRP is currently trading at $0.7263, up over 3% in the last 24 hours.

With the stakes higher than ever, Ripple’s victory is more than a win—it’s a turning point for crypto.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BLACKROCK EXPANDS TOKENIZED MONEY MARKET FUND BUIDL TO FIVE MORE BLOCKCHAINS

Today Securitize, BlackRock’s tokenization partner, announced that BlackRock’s money market fund, BUIDL, is now available on five additional blockchains. It launched in March on Ethereum and has now expanded to Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism’s OP Mainnet, and Polygon.

BUIDL is the largest tokenized money market fund on a public blockchain with a market capitalization of $517 million. Ondo Finance has issued its own money market fund backed by BUIDL, so it accounts for $192 million of BUIDL’s balance. While BlackRock has a minimum investment of $5 million, Ondo’s OUSG has a $5,000 minimum and also temporarily waves fees.

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

Notably, BUIDL has management fees of 50 basis points on most blockchains but it’s only 20 bps on Aptos, Avalanche, and Polygon, with the lower costs subsidized by foundations associated with the blockchains.

“We wanted to develop an ecosystem that was thoughtfully designed to be digital and take advantage of the advantages of tokenization,” said Securitize CEO and co-founder Carlos Domingo. “Real-world asset tokenization is scaling, and we’re excited to have these blockchains added to increase the potential of the BUIDL ecosystem.

With these new chains we’ll start to see more investors looking to leverage the underlying technology to increase efficiencies on all the things that until now have been hard to do.”

In October Securitize integrated with Zero Hash to allow digital asset firms to use USDC to buy BUIDL and keep their funds on-chain. For some time the USDC stablecoin issuer Circle has said it stands ready to buy BUIDL funds for USDC, allowing investors to exit their investment whenever they like. On a related point, we previously explored why asset managers might want a shared stablecoin.

RIPPLE NEWS: XRP DOCUMENTARY TO ‘BLOW OPEN THE SEC LAWSUIT AGAINST RIPPLE’; FIRST REVIEWS OUT

The highly anticipated XRP documentary, “XRP Unleashed/ Rigged from the Start”, has officially premiered in Scottsdale, Arizona, drawing significant attention in the crypto world. The film explores the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Fans of the XRP saga can look forward to more opportunities to watch the documentary, as plans for a second screening tour in other cities are under consideration. For those unable to attend in person, the film will be available for streaming on the official website starting November 21.

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

First Reviews Out:
A user named Jeremy Quintanilla took to X and wrote, “Don’t miss @Fruition_Films XRP Unleashed! #XRPArmy What a f...ing amazing story that blows the story open the SEC Lawsuit against @Ripple.”

 Ray Fuentes said, “The #XRPUnleashed premiere in Scottsdale was a success! Big congrats to @Fruition_Films and everyone involved in creating this impactful documentary. Major bombs were dropped!”

XRP Price Hints at Big Rally
XRP has recently reacted to a key support zone that has been closely watched for months. This support area has been significant since July 2023, and the price has dipped into this zone a few times already, including in July, August, and November. This pullback is part of a larger corrective pattern, and it looks like XRP is now testing this support again.

The key target for XRP remains a price range between $1.26 and $1.99, and the next critical level to watch is around the 66-70 cent mark. If XRP stays below this level, it could continue to show bearish momentum. However, a breakout above this level could signal a shift toward a more bullish outlook.

Currently, XRP is attempting a move higher, but the price action has been weak and uncertain. If this upward move continues, it might be part of a larger corrective structure, with a possible pullback before another rise. The ultimate target, if the upward trend continues, is between 83.8 cents and $1.17, based on key Fibonacci levels.
