THREE NEW U.S. STATE-LEVEL BITCOIN BILLS SIGNED INTO LAW
From New Hampshire to Arizona to Oregon, more proposed Bitcoin legislation has become law in recent days.

This week, three U.S. states have enacted bitcoin-related bills into law.

On Tuesday, New Hampshire became the first state to sign into law a bill that would allow for the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve (SBR).

On Wednesday, Arizona enacted its second bill related to bitcoin, blockchain, and digital assets.

Also on Wednesday, Oregon’s governor signed a bill into law that updates the state’s commercial code to recognize digital assets such as bitcoin as collateral.

New Hampshire Can Now Establish An SBR
On Tuesday, New Hampshire signed HB302 into law, making it the first state in U.S. history with the legal footing to create an SBR.

The new law enables the state treasurer to invest in digital assets that have a market cap of over $500 billion. (Bitcoin is the only digital asset that currently meets this criteria.)

While the law doesn’t specifically call for the creation of an SBR, it does enable the state’s treasurer to create one.

This historic law was enacted thanks in part to the efforts of Rep. Keith Ammon, the primary sponsor for this bitcoin-related bill.

Arizona Governor Vetoes One Bitcoin Bill But Signs Another
On May 2, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed SB1025, which would have enabled the state treasurer and retirement system to invest 10% of their available funds into virtual currencies.

The bill was known as the “Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act”.

However, on May 7, Governor Hobbs signed HB2749 into law — a bill that also establishes a state-level digital assets reserve.

HB2749 amends Arizona’s unclaimed financial property statutes to allow the state to claim bitcoin or digital assets that have been abandoned or unclaimed after three years.

This is the second bitcoin-related bill Governor Hobbs has signed in recent weeks — the first being HB2342 on April 18, which protects individuals running blockchain nodes from local restrictions.

New Oregon Law Recognizes Bitcoin As Collateral
On Wednesday, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek signed SB167 into law.

This law updates Oregon’s Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) to:

• Recognize digital assets such as bitcoin as collateral

• Introduce Article 12, which establishes a legal framework for “controllable electronic records,” including cryptocurrencies

This sets the legal groundwork for bitcoin and other digital assets to be used in traditional financial products in Oregon.

Picking Up The Pace
Prior to this week, only three bitcoin-related bills had been signed into law:

• Utah’s HB0230 (signed March 12): Defined and regulated digital assets

• Kentucky’s HB701 (signed March 24): Offered protections for individuals and businesses engaging with digital assets

• Arizona’s HB2342 (discussed above)

If this week is any indication, more Bitcoin legislation may be codified into law in the near future.

BRICS: ASIA COULD DUMP $2.5 TRILLION WORTH OF US DOLLAR CURRENCY

The US dollar may face a huge crisis from BRICS and other Asian currencies, as Stephen Jen, CEO of Eurizon SLJ Capital, revealed to Bloomberg that an “avalanche” of USD selling worth $2.5 trillion could come from Asian countries.

He explained that Asian exporters and investors have stockpiled a massive amount of USD over the years, which could soon be dumped as the greenback weakens against local currencies in 2025.

The Bloomberg currency index shows that the USD is down 8% since February, while local currencies are outperforming the global reserve currency.

This trend gives the BRICS alliance more momentum to push the de-dollarization agenda, as $2.5 trillion worth of USD now hangs on a thread.

“We suspect these dollar hoardings by Asian exporters and institutional investors may be extremely large. Possibly on the order of $2.5 trillion or so. And pose sharp downside risks to the dollar vis-à-vis these Asian currencies,”
– Jen and Joana Freire

BRICS: US Dollar Faces a Threat of $2.5 Trillion Sell-off

BRICS and other developing nations are now economically strong enough to offload their US dollar reserves.

There is a growing belief in an “important imbalance in the world” that puts the US dollar in a vulnerable position, said Jen.

The long-term appeal of the USD is fading, as local currencies offer advantages like:

• No excessive debt burdens

• Mutual GDP strengthening when used for trade

The dollar’s dominance is shrinking globally.

De-Dollarization Expands Beyond BRICS

Beyond BRICS, de-dollarization is also accelerating in countries such as:

• Taiwan

• Malaysia

• Vietnam

In these regions, the US dollar is becoming secondary in trade and investment.

Jen further noted that Asian nations have external surpluses, which allow them to hedge against USD fluctuations with more flexibility.

“The American economy is at the crossroads of a global paradigm shift where its power is on the decline.”

GENIUS Stablecoin Bill Fails Initial Senate Vote Amid Partisan Tensions

▪️The GENIUS Act, aimed at regulating stablecoins, failed its first cloture vote in the Senate with a 49-48 tally; Senator Thune changed his vote to "no" to allow future reconsideration.

▪️Democrat Senators, joined by Republicans Hawley and Paul, blocked the motion, citing the need for more time to educate lawmakers and improve the bill’s language.

▪️Senator Ruben Gallego acknowledged bipartisan progress on the bill and called for a delay until Monday, but the request was blocked—likely by Senator Warren.

▪️Concerns over Trump's crypto ties, including a $2B transaction involving the Trump family stablecoin USD1 and a UAE firm, have increased Democrat resistance.

▪️Senator Thune accused Democrats of obstruction, saying the bill had already undergone six revisions and bipartisan committee support.

SEC Commissioner Peirce Proposes Flexible Framework for Tokenized Securities

▪️ SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce unveiled a proposal for a regulatory exemption framework to test tokenized securities, aiming to balance innovation with investor protection.

▪️ The proposed framework would create a sandbox-like environment, allowing firms to issue, trade, and settle tokenized assets using blockchain under controlled conditions.

▪️ Conditions include anti-fraud compliance, detailed disclosures (including smart contract risks), financial safeguards, SEC oversight, and trading volume limits.

▪️ Peirce emphasized the need for scalable, sensible regulation to reverse the 20-year decline in public listings and ensure the U.S. remains competitive in capital markets.

▪️ The initiative, inspired by global regulatory sandboxes, seeks feedback and could evolve with the maturity of tokenized markets.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

MISSOURI BILL ENDING CAPITAL GAINS TAX HEADS TO GOVERNOR FOR SIGNATURE

Missouri will become the first US state to eliminate the levy if Governor Mike Kehoe signs the bill into law.

Missouri House Bill 594, a bill that would eliminate capital gains tax in the state, has passed a vote in the House of Representatives and now heads to the governor’s desk.

According to attorney Aaron Brogan, the bill stipulates a 100% income tax deduction for any capital gains income because Missouri’s tax code does not explicitly distinguish between capital gains and income tax.

Brogan compared the bill’s structure to the federal SALT deduction, but called it “the inverse, which I have never seen before.”

The bill’s timing is notable as it follows proposals from President Donald Trump to overhaul the federal income tax system through comprehensive reform.

Trump proposes eliminating federal income tax in the United States

Trump has proposed offsetting or eliminating federal income tax, replacing it with revenue from import tariffs.

“When Tariffs cut in, many people’s income taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated… The focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year,” Trump wrote on April 27 via Truth Social.

He added this would incentivize factory jobs to return to the US by avoiding import duties on finished products.

However, market reaction has been overwhelmingly negative:

• Stock markets lost trillions following tariff announcements.

• Crypto markets shed hundreds of billions in value.

• Bond yields spiked, signaling investor flight from US debt.

COINBASE ACQUIRES CRYPTO DERIVATIVES EXCHANGE DERIBIT FOR $2.9 BILLION

Today Coinbase confirmed it has agreed to acquire Deribit, the largest crypto options exchange, for $2.9 billion, including $700 million in cash with the balance in stock.

Deribit may not be the number one overall in crypto derivatives, but it is the world leader in crypto options. It currently has more than $30 billion in open interest. Coinbase already has a derivatives subsidiary, which is particularly active in perpetual futures, so Deribit complements this well. The acquirer claims the combination will make it the derivatives market leader.

“We’re excited to join forces with Coinbase to power a new era in global crypto derivatives,” said Deribit CEO Luuk Strijers. “As the leading crypto options platform, we’ve built a strong, profitable business, and this acquisition will accelerate the foundation we laid while providing traders with even more opportunities across spot, futures, perpetuals, and options – all under one trusted brand.”

Beyond market position, Coinbase highlighted financial benefits, noting that Deribit will help to even out its earnings by diversifying revenue streams because options earnings are less cyclical compared to spot.

Deribit was founded in the Netherlands but operated out of Panama for several years, before moving recently to Dubai. A key driver was to provide regulatory certainty to its institutional clients, which make up 80–90% of its client base.

The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to regulatory approvals.

Gold Can be Used to Rebalance the Global Economy Without a World War

Luke Gromen: Gold Can be Used to Rebalance the Global Economy Without a World War

Palisades Gold Radio:  5-8-2025

Tom welcomes back Luke Gromen of Forest For The Trees back to the show. The discussion delves into complex economic and geopolitical dynamics, focusing on how global powers might navigate a transition away from the dollar-based system towards a neutral reserve asset like gold.

He begins by highlighting that the current dollar-centric system is unsustainable due to high deficits and debt levels. A potential solution, he suggests, involves using gold as a neutral reserve asset, which would allow commodities to be priced in multiple currencies and facilitate trade settlements.

This shift could create a more balanced and resilient global economic framework.

Moving on to geopolitical implications, Gromen notes that the conflict in Ukraine has underscored the limitations of conventional military strategies, shifting the balance of power dynamics. He points out that countries like Russia and China are driving efforts to move away from the dollar system, which necessitates a new economic framework.

This transition is not just an economic shift but also a significant geopolitical realignment. Luke emphasizes the importance of incentives for avoiding direct military confrontation with major powers.

He explains that such conflicts are strategically unwise due to nuclear deterrence and the deep interdependence of economies. Instead, he argues that negotiating a new economic order aligns with long-term strategic interests and avoids the catastrophic consequences of war.

 Drawing on historical context, Mr. Gromen observes that the post-World War II debt-based economy is nearing its limits, making it imperative to return to a more sustainable model.

He suggests that transitioning to gold as a reserve asset could reboot global economies, fostering stability and growth without resorting to conflict.

This approach not only addresses current economic challenges but also positions nations for future prosperity.

PAYMENTS GIANT VISA INVESTS IN STABLECOIN INFRASTRUCTURE FIRM BVNK IN US MARKET EXPANSION

Credit card giant Visa is investing in the stablecoin payments network BVNK as a way to upgrade its business-to-business (B2B) transaction infrastructure.

In a new company blog post, BVNK CEO and co-founder Jesse Hemson-Struthers revealed that Visa is making an undisclosed investment into the firm to help automate and streamline global stablecoin payments between businesses.

“At BVNK, we recognized early that stablecoins would emerge as an instant global payment rail and a viable alternative to the traditional correspondent banking system.

That’s why we’ve built our infrastructure from the ground up to automate and orchestrate stablecoin payments at scale, making these new rails accessible to businesses of all sizes.”

According to Hemson-Struthers, partnering with Visa, which he calls the:

“original payments innovator,”

will fundamentally change how businesses operate digitally and assist the UK-based BVNK in its expansion into the US.

“What makes me proudest is seeing the real-world impact of our technology.

We’re currently processing $12 billion in annualized stablecoin payment volumes, enabling our customers to move money globally with unprecedented speed and efficiency. The momentum continues with our expansion into the US market this year.”

Rubail Birwadker, head of growth products and partnerships at Visa, added:

“Stablecoins are fast becoming a part of global payment flows, and Visa invests in new technologies and builders like BVNK, staying at the forefront of what’s next in commerce to better serve our clients and partners.”

In December, BVNK closed a $50 million Series B fundraising round, with participation from major venture capital firms including Coinbase Ventures.

BRICS: ONLY 33% OF TRADE SETTLED IN US DOLLARS

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed that BRICS members have settled 67% of trade in local currencies, with only 33% of deals paid in US dollars. The significant gap highlights the seriousness of the de-dollarization agenda, suggesting that the motive to topple the greenback is gaining traction.

"National currencies already account for more than 65% within the framework of trade among BRICS members," said Lavrov.
"The dollar’s share declined to one-third against such a background," he told Tass.

BRICS members have executed roughly 67% of cross-border trade for goods and commerce in local currencies, while US dollar payments make up just 33%. De-dollarization is becoming a serious global concern, and critics warn that ignoring this trend could harm the US economy in the long run.

Developing countries are now more economically empowered than in previous decades, boasting:

• Robust and growing GDPs

• Expanding manufacturing bases

• Leverage over Brent Crude oil

• Greater influence in global markets

Additionally, many of their local currencies are outperforming the US dollar, compounding pressure on the greenback.

The BRICS alliance is gaining power and may seriously challenge the US dollar by the end of the next decade.

BRICS: US Dollar Usage in Trade Transactions Only 33%

If more countries adopt the de-dollarization movement led by BRICS, the US dollar—and broader economy—could face severe challenges. BRICS expansion is particularly concerning, as newer member countries bring additional strength to local currency systems.

The next 15 years may be pivotal: either the dollar reasserts its dominance, or it risks being overtaken by a rising wave of emerging economies.

 Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

FED HOLDS RATES STEADY AS IT NOTES RISING UNCERTAINTY AND STAGFLATION RISK

• The Federal Reserve held its key interest rate unchanged in a range between 4.25%-4.5%, where it has been since December.

• The post-meeting statement noted the recent market volatility and how that is factoring into the central bank’s policy decisions.

• “Uncertainty about the economic outlook has increased further,” the statement said.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve on Wednesday held its key interest rate unchanged as it waits for the Trump administration’s trade policy to take shape and sees its impact on a sputtering economy.

In a move that carried little suspense given the wave of uncertainty sweeping the political and economic landscape, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held its benchmark overnight borrowing rate in a range between 4.25%-4.5%, where it has been since December.

The post-meeting statement noted the volatility and how that is factoring into policy decisions.

"Uncertainty about the economic outlook has increased further."
"The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that the risks of higher unemployment and higher inflation have risen."

While the statement did not specifically address the tariffs, Chair Jerome Powell addressed the issue at his post-meeting news conference.

Stocks briefly ceded some gains after the rate announcement but mostly recovered, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up nearly 300 points despite some worries over the Fed’s characterization of the economic risks.

“The May FOMC statement in effect warns that a large trade shock is still set to hit the economy in spite of efforts by the Trump administration to deescalate..."
— Krishna Guha, Head of Global Policy and Central Bank Strategy at Evercore ISI

“...with the Fed seeing the risks ahead as two-sided and not providing any early dovish lean in favor of a June rate cut.”
“The net implications for risk assets are negative.”

A possible stagflationary scenario

Finding the balance between the two elements of the Fed’s so-called dual mandate of full employment and stable prices has become more difficult amid President Donald Trump’s tariff push.

In noting that tariffs threaten to aggravate inflation as well as slow economic growth, the statement raises the possibility of a stagflationary scenario largely absent from the U.S. since the early 1980s.

Policymakers have largely agreed that the central bank is in a good position, with the economy generally holding up, to be patient as it calibrates monetary policy.

Powell emphasized this during the press conference:

“The economy itself is still in solid shape.”

Trade Talks in Focus

The Fed’s deliberations come as the White House is locked in negotiations with top U.S. trading partners during a 90-day negotiating period that began in early April. Trump slapped 10% across-the-board tariffs on U.S. imports and threatened other “reciprocal” duties pending ongoing talks.

As near-daily headlines gauge the trade war, the economy has been flashing conflicting signals on growth, inflation, and consumer and business sentiment.

• Gross domestic product (GDP) fell 0.3% in the first quarter

• Slower consumer and government spending and a surge in imports ahead of tariffs

• Most economists expect a return to positive growth in Q2

The FOMC noted that “swings in net exports have affected the data,” while maintaining its view that the economy “has continued to expand at a solid pace.”

Indeed, job growth has held up despite Trump’s efforts to pare down the federal workforce:

• Nonfarm payrolls increased by 177,000 in April

• Unemployment rate held at 4.2%

• Inflation is approaching the Fed’s 2% target

However, tariffs are expected to lead to at least a one-time rise in prices. Trump has urged the Fed to cut rates as inflation has eased. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge showed:

• Headline inflation at 2.3%

• Core inflation (excluding food and energy) at 2.6%

As with all aspects of the economy, it all depends on what happens with tariffs.

Market Reactions & Outlook

Recent signs of progress in negotiations and some softening from the administration helped reverse a major stock market sell-off after the April 2 “liberation day” announcement from Trump.

However, business surveys continue to show high anxiety—most managers report concerns about supplies and pricing from the tariffs.

Market pricing regarding Fed action has been volatile:

• Heading into the meeting:

• Virtually no chance of a rate cut this week

• <30% probability of a June move

• Next cut expected in July

• Three cuts priced in for the year

The committee’s decision to hold the benchmark rate steady was unanimous.

The federal funds rate, used by banks for overnight lending, also affects mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards.

US TREASURY SECRETARY EXPRESSES SUPPORT FOR CRYPTO BILLS AT HEARING

Scott Bessent suggested support for the stablecoin and market structure bills being considered in Congress in response to a question about China.

Speaking at a hearing, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested support for two crypto-related bills moving through Congress.

Bessent addressed lawmakers at a May 7 hearing of the House Financial Services Committee, saying that the United States should be the:

“premier destination for digital assets”

in response to a question about American dominance over China in crypto-related innovation. The Treasury Secretary added that:

“good market structure” and “stablecoin legislation” could help ensure this outcome.

Bessent’s remarks echoed those of other Republican lawmakers and President Donald Trump, who initially claimed he wanted to make the US the:

“crypto capital of the world”

during his 2024 campaign. The Treasury Secretary was likely referring to:

• the draft of a digital asset market structure bill released by House Republicans on May 6

• the GENIUS bill to regulate stablecoins, expected to be taken up for a Senate vote on May 8

The Treasury Secretary, a Trump nominee, has supported the president on key crypto policy actions, including:

• an executive order to establish a sovereign wealth fund

• participation in a working group exploring federal stablecoin regulations and a national crypto stockpile

He also stated during a confirmation hearing that he would oppose the creation of a US central bank digital currency while in office.

Democrats Push Back on Crypto Bills Amid Memecoin Dinner Controversy

Even before Trump announced plans to hold an exclusive dinner and VIP tour for top memecoin holders, he faced scrutiny over alleged conflicts of interest tied to his crypto ventures.

The dinner announcement seemed to galvanize Democrats against any crypto-related legislation.

Representative Maxine Waters, ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, led a walkout of the May 6 hearing on the Republican-drafted market structure bill, citing the need to explore:

“Trump’s crypto corruption”

Additionally, nine Senate Democrats stated they will not support the GENIUS stablecoin bill in its current form, demanding:

• stronger Anti-Money Laundering protections

• tougher oversight on foreign issuers

• improved national security safeguards

It remains unclear whether Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress, will have enough votes to pass either bill.

Gold is Signaling a Financial Reset is Upon Us

Chris Vermeulen: Gold is Signaling a Financial Reset is Upon Us

Palisades Gold Radio:  5-7-2025

Tom welcomes back Chris Vermeulen, the founder of The Technical Traders, to discuss the highly volatile year of 2025 so far. He notes that volatility has been extreme across various asset classes, driven by factors like geopolitical tensions, AI advancements, and fears of an impending recession.

Vermeulen emphasized that while day traders thrive in such environments due to significant intraday swings, swing traders face increased risks with massive price gaps.

Long-term investors should prioritize capital preservation by moving to cash until market clarity emerges, as he believes a bear market has already begun. He warned against the "buy the dip" mentality, especially for those nearing retirement, cautioning that this approach could lead to significant losses in a prolonged bear market.

Vermeulen points out key indicators of an impending financial reset, including economic data showing hiring declines and rising unemployment, as well as housing market corrections with inventories soaring.

Gold was discussed as a safe haven asset, though Vermeulen cautioned about potential pullbacks. He suggested that gold miners could offer better opportunities once the market stabilizes.

Seasonality plays a role in his analysis, noting that stock markets typically struggle post-May, aligning with his bearish outlook. Real estate was also addressed, with Vermeulen predicting price drops of 15-20% and warning about the broader economic impact as housing values decline.

He highlighted the psychological effect on investors when their largest asset depreciates, potentially leading to panic selling across markets. The U.S. dollar's potential strength was discussed, with Vermeulen suggesting it could rally in a risk-off environment.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Afternoon 5-7-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

REP. TORRES TO INTRODUCE BILL BANNING TRUMP, LAWMAKERS FROM CASHING IN ON MEMECOINS AND STABLECOINS

• The bill, called the Stop Presidential Profiteering from Digital Assets Act, would make it unlawful for someone to create, issue or promote a digital asset that “uses the name, likeness, image, or other recognizable traits of a covered individual.”

• Some Democrats have aired major concerns over Trump’s involvement in crypto, which has created tension as they and their Republican counterparts work on legislation to regulate digital assets.

Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., plans to introduce legislation that would block President Donald Trump, future presidents, and members of Congress from "profiteering" on memecoins and stablecoins.

The bill, called the Stop Presidential Profiteering from Digital Assets Act, would make it unlawful for someone to create, issue or promote a digital asset that

"uses the name, likeness, image, or other recognizable traits of a covered individual," 

in a message sent by Benny Stanislawski, a spokesman for Rep. Torres, to The Block.

The legislation defines a “covered individual” as a current or former U.S. president, vice president, member of Congress, or any presidentially appointed and Senate-confirmed federal official, along with their immediate family members.

The move comes amid growing criticism among Democrats about Trump’s involvement in crypto, which has created tension as they and their Republican counterparts work on digital asset regulation.

Since late 2024, Trump and his family have embraced digital assets, launching their own memecoins shortly before his 2025 inauguration. His affiliated venture, World Liberty Financial, recently launched its own stablecoin. 

Trump also hosted a crypto-themed fundraiser Monday night for the MAGA Inc. super PAC, and is hosting a gala later this month for the top 220 owners of his memecoin.

On Tuesday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., sent letters to World Liberty Financial and Fight Fight Fight LLC, the company behind Trump's memecoin, to investigate potential conflicts of interest related to Trump's crypto activities.

Torres has shown support for crypto. In March, he and Republican House Majority Whip Tom Emmer created the "Congressional Crypto Caucus" aimed at advancing bills in Washington. Torres also pushed back on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's approach to regulating crypto last year.

TRUMP FACES SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE INQUIRY OVER 'CRYPTO CORRUPTION'

Opposition lawmakers continue to criticize the president’s crypto ambitions.

• Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal has opened an investigation into President Trump's crypto businesses.

• Blumenthal has alleged that the launch of the Trump meme coin is unethical.

• President Trump has a number of digital asset ventures that draw ire from Democrats.

Democratic senator Richard Blumenthal is investigating how President Donald Trump's crypto business ventures are potentially violating federal laws.

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal said Tuesday that President Trump's meme coin launch and other crypto industry ventures represent

"an unprecedented, pay-to-play scheme to provide access to the Presidency to the highest bidder."

Blumenthal announced that the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations would be opening a preliminary inquiry into the launch of the president's cryptocurrency, Official Trump, along with DeFi platform World Liberty Financial and the president's other digital asset interests.

"Chillingly, TRUMP allows, and even invites, anyone in the world, including foreign governments and unscrupulous individuals, to directly enrich the president, while hiding potential payoffs in the pseudonymity of the blockchain," Blumenthal said in his announcement, quoting a letter he wrote to the developer of the Official Trump cryptocurrency, Bill Zanker.

The new commander-in-chief ahead of his January inauguration launched a Solana-based meme coin called Official Trump—which trades as TRUMP—and it quickly soared in value before crashing. It's now down 85% from its peak price.

Democrats have alleged that the new commander in chief has profited from the virtual coin's launch, but the president has denied this and avoided questions on the matter.

The president is also associated with an Ethereum-based decentralized finance project, World Liberty Financial. Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Jr., first announced the project last year, and the then-Republican nominee promoted the project on social media ahead of his election win.

Decrypt in March reported that the president and his associates had pocketed around $390 million in revenue from promoting World Liberty Financial.

In April, President Trump also announced a private dinner later this month at his Washington-area golf club for the top 220 holders of his meme coin, plus a private reception and a White House tour for other investors.

The announcements have drawn ire from Democratic lawmakers, who claim that promoting the meme coin is corrupt. House Democrats walked out of a hearing Tuesday about impending crypto industry legislation, due to complaints over Trump's perceived crypto conflicts.

President Trump campaigned ahead of his November win to help the digital asset industry and received backing from crypto entrepreneurs and Silicon Valley hotshots and members of the "PayPal mafia", including current White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

589bull: Iraq is No Longer Hinting

5-7-2025

MORNING UPDATE

Iraq is no longer hinting. Sudani just said the quiet part out loud.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani held a major meeting with the heads of all Iraqi banks. The takeaway?

“The state will act as a regulator, not a controller.”

That’s your signal.

This is the exact language used by nations preparing for a monetary shift and here’s why it matters:

• Iraq is stepping back from centralized control of the banking sector
• The banking system is now “flexible, modern, and ready,” per Sudani
• First Rafidain Bank is launching with a new vision + foreign partnerships
• The government confirmed it’s absorbing excess IQD and replacing it with domestic production + foreign investment
• Banks are being told to invest, simplify, and prepare for global trust

This isn’t speculation, this is pre-RV protocol in plain sight.

They’re lining up the IMF, World Bank, Basel III, ISO 20022, and private sector cooperation. The only piece left?

What follows is going to be historic.

 Mnt Goat  We have previously read many articles on the “New Rafidain” bank and the reforms taking place there. The CBI was working to reform the bank to necessary to global standards and digitization. First why would they do this if not working towards a higher rate when going back to FOREX. If they wanted a 1320 rate, they could have already done it over the last two decades...But this is not the case as Ali Al-Alaq has told us many times already he wants the dinar to go back to its “glory days”.

Militia Man  Article quote:  "The delegation International Monetary Fund stress the importance of strengthening the relationship with foreign correspondent banks in the field of financing foreign trade as well as supporting the use of the Iraqi dinar in economic transactions to maintain the stability of the local currency."  I don't know you guys, some people like to say, 'drop the mic'.  That's powerful and it's impressive.  They're talking specifically about cross border trade, foreign trade, with the Iraqi dinar...

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

HOW DO TRUMP TARIFFS IMPACT THE FED INTEREST RATE DECISION TODAY?

The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates steady this week, with a 95% chance of no changes, as it adopts a cautious “wait and see” approach.

Despite a slow economy in Q1, inflation remains slightly above the 2% target, while unemployment stays low, giving the Fed more time to assess market conditions. The FED interest rate decision is crucial, as the Trump tariffs and ongoing US-China trade talks could influence future actions.

Trump Tariffs and Trade Optimism

The latest Trump tariffs and trade discussions between the US and China are bringing renewed optimism to the market. Credit Suisse analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya notes that improving trade relations could boost risk assets and revive investor confidence in the US dollar. While the dollar didn’t surge during the peak of the tariff war, a shift in sentiment could drive its near-term performance.

FED to Stay in “Wait and See” Mode

The Federal Reserve remains focused on data, with many expecting no immediate rate cuts. As the Fed weighs Trump’s tariffs and a $4 trillion budget plan, it will likely hold off on making any drastic decisions. Although inflation is still above 2%, the FED interest rate decision will depend on the ongoing trade talks and economic trends.

Dollar Could Rebound Amid Trade Optimism

Trade optimism surrounding Trump tariffs and negotiations could potentially lift the dollar, shifting from a safe-haven narrative to broader confidence. Ozkardeskaya believes that this shift could reignite demand for the US dollar, marking a key development as the FED interest rate decision looms.

FED Interest Rate Decision

With little indication of drastic shifts in the economy, Fed Chair Jerome Powell is expected to keep messaging minimal, even as President Trump pushes for rate cuts. Analysts predict that the Fed may only cut rates if the labor market weakens significantly.

ETHEREUM’S ‘PECTRA’ NETWORK UPGRADE GOES LIVE: WHAT TO EXPECT

Ethereum developers have activated the network's Pectra upgrade, bringing smart accounts, higher staking limits and improved scalability through key EIPs.

Ethereum — the network that unleashed smart contracts on the world — moves on to the next chapter with today’s Pectra upgrade, but what does it mean?

Pectra went live on the Ethereum mainnet at the start of epoch 364032, May 7, 2025, at about 10:00 am UTC. The three main Ethereum improvement proposals (EIPs) included are EIP-7702, EIP-7251, and EIP-7691.

EIP-7702 allows externally owned accounts to act as smart contracts and cover gas expenses (transaction fees) and payments in tokens that are not Ether.

EIP-7251 increases the validator staking limit from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH, simplifying operations for large stakers.

EIP-7691 increases the number of data blobs per block, allowing for better layer-2 scalability and potentially significantly reduced transaction fees.

Sergej Kunz, co-founder of Ethereum DEX aggregator 1inch, said Pectra “introduces ‘smart account’ functionality” at deeper protocol levels and “improves Ethereum’s scalability” through layer-2 solutions.

0xAw, lead developer at Base Ethereum layer-2 DEX Alien.Base, told Cointelegraph that EIP‑7702 is a “potentially great addition for Ethereum.” He said that account abstraction has struggled due to wallet switching requirements.

The positives of adopting this include:

• Getting rid of approval flows

• Not having to sign each transaction

• Segregated permissions and actions

• Automations on behalf of the user

“It enables a Web2-like UX by hiding many of the underlying scaffolding from users,” 0xAw added.

Kunz said the update will pave the way for native gasless transactions and simplified user flows.
Ivo Georgiev, CEO of smart wallet Ambire, noted:

• “No more infinite ERC-20 approvals”

• “Users won’t need native currency like ETH to pay gas fees”

He added:
“Following this, the UX will be reworked completely… wallets give more limited abilities to apps, increasing overall security — for example, no wallet popup every time you interact with OpenSea.”

Still, not without risks.
0xAw cautioned: “Users have one more dangerous thing they could sign, which would be even more damaging than an approval to wallet drainers.”

Mike Tiutin, CTO of PureFi, warned:
“Drainers proved that users will sign ‘harmless’ messages in cloned DApps. EIP-7702 expands that trick from one token to the whole wallet.”

Georgiev remains optimistic, saying:
“Confident there will not be a tangible increase in risk... the industry knows how to create a secure contract, especially with such a minimal scope as an EIP-7702 delegation.”

Easier Institutional Staking

Artemiy Parshakov, VP of institutions at P2P.org, said:
“EIP-7002 makes institutional staking much easier to integrate without taking too much risk.”

Before Pectra:

• Stakers needed a signed message from their provider to exit

• Couldn’t exit without provider participation

• Had to wait ~13 hours to generate exit message

Now with Pectra:

• Exit delay reduced to ~13 minutes

Supply Validator Deposits Onchain

EIP-6110 enables the execution-layer block to carry validator deposit data to the consensus layer.
Previously:

• Consensus clients waited for Merkle root votes from block proposers
  Now:

• Execution layer directly includes new verifier deposits

This upgrade affects the deep Ethereum consensus layer and follows bugs on Holesky and Sepolia testnets.

Parshakov concluded:
“Our biggest concerns are client bugs, but we trust the Ethereum Foundation and client teams are working to prevent issues on mainnet.”

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

US TREASURY REPORT ON STABLECOINS MULLS UPSIDE OF OFFERING INTEREST

A presentation last week to the US Treasury’s Borrowing Advisory Committee (TBAC) explored the impact of stablecoins on the demand for short term Treasuries.  One topic was mentioned repeatedly – the potential for stablecoins to offer interest.  

The last iteration of the Senate’s stablecoin bill, the GENIUS Act, introduced a clause that banned the payment of stablecoin interest before receiving a positive vote by the Senate Banking Committee.

According to the minutes of the TBAC meeting, “There was robust discussion concerning the potential implications of interest bearing stablecoins versus non-interest bearing stablecoins, and the extent to which growth in stablecoins would result in net new demand for Treasury securities rather than a reallocation of demand from banks and money market mutual funds.”

The President’s Executive Order on digital assets made clear the intention to promote the use of US dollar stablecoins beyond US borders.  White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks was very clear that the goal is to increase demand for US Treasuries,
which helps to lower the cost of servicing the United States’ massive debt.

The TBAC stablecoin report

The TBAC report used a figure from Standard Chartered research that estimates stablecoins will grow to $2 trillion by 2028 assuming stablecoins don’t pay interest.  As an aside, Citi also recently published forecasts.  The mid-April capitalization of stablecoins was $234 billion, which accounts for approximately $120 billion investment in short-dated Treasuries.  Combining that with Standard Chartered’s figure, the report estimates that stablecoin investment in Treasuries will expand to $1 trillion by 2028.

If stablecoins were to offer interest, the figure could be quite a bit higher, although no forecast was provided.  That would account for a significant slice of the short term Treasury Bill market, which currently has a $6.4 trillion issuance.

A key reason why most global stablecoin regulation has not supported the payment of interest is due to concerns that bank deposits might shift to stablecoins,  potentially reducing available credit from banks or making credit more expensive.  The TBAC report states that transactional demand deposits at banks totaling $6.6 trillion are most “at risk” from stablecoins.

However, the presentation also explored opportunities for banks and financial institutions, including issuing stablecoins and managing reserves.

Apart from delving into interest-bearing stablecoins, two other issues were floated:

• Allowing stablecoin issuers access to the Federal Reserve

• Allowing access to deposit insurance

This would help reduce the impact of de-peg events.

Readers of the TBAC report might expect to see efforts to remove the interest ban from the GENIUS Act.  However, after this TBAC meeting, several pro-crypto Democrats withdrew support for the latest version of the GENIUS Act despite it still including the yield ban.
Backtracking on the yield clause could further delay the progress of the stablecoin bill.

BREAKING: NEW HAMPSHIRE BECOMES FIRST U.S. STATE TO OFFICIALLY HOLD BITCOIN IN STATE RESERVES

In a major first for the United States, New Hampshire has passed a new law allowing the state to hold Bitcoin as part of its financial reserves. The bill, known as HB 302, was signed into law on May 6, 2025, by the state’s Governor. This makes New Hampshire the first state in the nation to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Fund.

The law gives the state’s Treasurer the power to buy Bitcoin and other major digital assets directly or through a regulated investment product like an exchange-traded product (ETP). However, there’s a limit — the state can only hold up to 5% of its total funds in Bitcoin to balance risk.

To ensure safety, the law requires all digital assets to be stored under strict U.S.-regulated custody, either in state-controlled wallets or with approved custodians. The new policy will officially take effect 60 days after its signing.

The bill was inspired by a model created by the nonprofit group Satoshi Action, which works to educate lawmakers about Bitcoin and digital assets. Dennis Porter, the group’s CEO, said this is more than just a bill — it’s the start of a movement. “New Hampshire didn’t just pass a bill; it sparked a movement,” Porter said.

Several important figures helped make this happen, including Rep. Keith Ammon, an early Bitcoin supporter, Majority Leader Jason Osborne, and the New Hampshire Blockchain Council.

This landmark decision could open the door for other U.S. states to follow New Hampshire’s lead as interest in Bitcoin-backed financial reserves grows nationwide.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

DEEP FREEZE EMPOWERS XRPL COMPLIANCE WITH INSTITUTIONAL TOKEN CONTROL

▪️Deep Freeze enhances institutional control over issued tokens on XRPL for compliance and fraud prevention.
▪️It introduces a protocol-level freeze, restricting all outgoing token transactions from targeted accounts.
▪️The update is crucial for stablecoin issuers and institutions issuing tokenized real-world assets.

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has formally activated Deep Freeze, a new tool designed to push the compliance and security standards for tokens issued on the blockchain to the next level.

Although XRP itself does not change, Deep Freeze provides protocol-level granularity in terms of controlling issued assets, allowing issuers to directly impose constraints on accounts.

The amendment, designated as XLS-77d, represents a significant move towards supporting institutional-quality asset management found in traditional finance.

Deep Freeze places XRPL in a strong position as a viable alternative for stablecoin issuers and financial institutions for secure and compliant infrastructure, says fintech analyst Clara Renner.

The amendment was voted into implementation using XRPL’s decentralized governance mechanism, showcasing the adaptability of the network to real-world security and regulation requirements.

Institutional Adoption Grows With XRPL Upgrade

Earlier, issuers in the XRPL utilized trustline freezes that only inhibited new transactions.
It was not a perfect approach, as users could still send held assets, and freezes had to be applied individually.

Deep Freeze immobilizes an entire account’s capacity to move released assets, effectively halting all outgoing token transactions.
This is critical for legal holds, fraud prevention, or sanctions enforcement.

Unlike centralized blockchains, XRPL’s approach preserves visibility and decentralized integrity, a dual advantage for transparency and control.
Deep Freeze automates compliance processes for institutions handling bulk token issuance.

This has become especially relevant for entities like Ripple, Braza Bank, and Societe Generale Forge, which use XRPL to issue stablecoins.

New XRPL Feature Appeals to Institutions

Deep Freeze is not just a technical improvement—it's a strategic enhancement for XRPL’s institutional appeal.

Central banks and asset managers can now enforce regulatory mandates without needing third-party intervention.

As compliance becomes a top priority, features like Deep Freeze should accelerate adoption by major stablecoin issuers like Circle.

It aligns with global compliance standards while maintaining blockchain efficiency.
The feature is now live and available, demonstrating XRPL’s commitment to a compliance-ready blockchain ecosystem.

BRICS: INDIA AGREES TO DROP TARIFFS ON THE US

According to US President Donald Trump, BRICS member India has agreed to drop its tariffs on the US. It was reported on Monday that India offered the Trump administration a zero-for-zero tradeoff for tariffs on auto parts, steel, and pharmaceuticals.

Speaking at the Oval Office today, Trump credited himself as the reason behind India agreeing to eliminate tariffs on US goods. “They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump said in a media scrum.

The two countries are engaged in ongoing talks of a new trade deal following the United States’ imposition of 10% sweeping trade tariffs on all countries. US President Donald Trump introduced the plan in an effort to balance trade, with the focus being on new agreements that would fulfill this charge.

Representation from India has not confirmed Trump’s claim that they’ve agreed to slash all tariffs on US goods. The two countries remain in talks, according to Trump. Also on Tuesday, India and the United Kingdom came to terms on a new free trade agreement.

Indeed, the deal had been reached after three years of negotiations. The deal will reportedly make it much easier for the UK-based company to export various goods, including automobiles. Moreover, it will cut taxes placed on India’s clothing exports, the BBC reported.

Furthermore, Trump says that the US is “open for business” for deals with several countries on tariff talks. However, one country not included is India’s BRICS partner, China. China and the US remain in heated discussion over tariffs between both countries, including an over 140% tariff on the Asian country. Trump said today that his administration “could sign 25 deals right now” on trade, although none have been finalized by both sides yet, including India.

Treasury's Plan Explained: $770 BILLION Gold REVALUATION to Reprice National Gold Reserves

Treasury's Plan Explained: $770 BILLION Gold REVALUATION to Reprice National Gold Reserves

Lena Petrova:  5-5-2025

Whispers have been circulating within financial circles about a potential bombshell move by the US Treasury: a massive revaluation of its gold reserves, potentially adding a staggering $770 billion to its balance sheet.

While speculation abounds, it’s crucial to understand what this rumored plan entails, its potential implications, and the likelihood of it actually happening.

Simply put, a gold revaluation is the act of increasing the officially recognized value of a country’s gold reserves.

Nations hold gold as a strategic asset, a store of value, and a hedge against economic uncertainty. Historically, the price of gold was pegged to the US dollar under the Bretton Woods system. However, after the collapse of that system in the 1970s, the price of gold has fluctuated freely in the market.

Currently, the US Treasury values its gold holdings at a historical cost basis, far below the current market price. A revaluation would mean updating that value to reflect the current market rate, instantly boosting the book value of the nation’s assets.

The estimated $770 billion figure stems from the discrepancy between the US Treasury’s reported gold holdings (8,133.5 metric tons) and the current market price of gold.

By multiplying the difference between the historical value and the current market price by the amount of gold held, a significant increase in value becomes apparent. Revaluating the gold reserves to reflect today’s market price could indeed add hundreds of billions of dollars to the Treasury’s balance sheet.

While the potential benefits of a gold revaluation are undeniable, the likelihood of it happening remains uncertain. The US Treasury has not officially announced any plans for such a move, and the decision would likely face significant political and economic scrutiny.

The current economic climate, characterized by high inflation and global uncertainty, could make a gold revaluation more appealing. However, the potential risks and complexities associated with such a move cannot be ignored.

The prospect of a $770 billion gold revaluation by the US Treasury is a fascinating topic that highlights the enduring importance of gold in the global financial system. While the potential benefits of strengthening the balance sheet and signaling commitment to sound monetary policy are attractive, the potential risks of inflation and market volatility must be carefully weighed.

Whether or not the US Treasury decides to revalue its gold reserves remains to be seen, but the ongoing discussion underscores the crucial role gold plays in the ongoing debate about economic stability and the future of the dollar.
