US Banking Regulator Calls for Expanded Crypto Financial Literacy

The OCC calls for a major boost in financial literacy to navigate the explosive rise of digital assets, urging updated strategies to protect and inform new crypto investors.

OCC Calls for Stronger Financial Literacy on Crypto

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the federal agency responsible for overseeing national banks and federal savings associations, has taken steps to clarify the regulatory framework around digital assets in the U.S. banking system.

Acting Comptroller Rodney E. Hood, speaking at the Financial Literacy and Education Commission (FLEC) on May 29, 2025, highlighted the increasing importance of cryptocurrency and digital assets in financial services.

“Everyone in the financial ecosystem – including financial educators – should carefully monitor the rapidly changing financial marketplace and update financial education strategies accordingly.

For example, in 2023, almost 5 percent of all households owned or used cryptocurrency, with more than nine in 10 of those holding it as an investment,” Hood said, adding:

“Given the level of interest, expanding financial literacy resources to address digital asset investments may be useful.”

Hood’s comments reflect the OCC’s role in ensuring that banks can engage with digital assets in a regulated and secure manner.

The Acting Comptroller also discussed the need for financial educators to update their strategies to address the growing number of consumers engaging with digital assets — many of whom are first-time investors.

He suggested that financial literacy programs should help these new investors understand the risks and opportunities of digital assets. The OCC has long supported financial education, and Hood emphasized that these efforts should now include resources on emerging financial products like cryptocurrency.

This approach aligns with the OCC’s recent guidance, released in May, which confirmed that national banks and federal savings associations are authorized to provide cryptocurrency-related services, such as custody and execution, as long as proper risk management practices are in place.

“The federal banking system is well positioned to engage in digital asset activities,” the OCC recently said.

The OCC’s position shows a cautious but supportive approach to integrating digital assets into the banking system, while also stressing the importance of consumer education and safety.

BRICS: US Risks Losing $7.5 Trillion Worth of Asian Assets

The BRICS alliance and all Asian countries combined have an investment worth $7.5 trillion in US assets, including bonds. For decades, the global financial gameplay was simple and easy to understand. Asia had an effortless strategy: sell goods to the US, and in return, invest the proceeds into American financial assets.

Things are now changing under the Trump administration, after the US President disrupted the smooth flow of global trade.

The tariffs and trade wars have rubbed emerging economies the wrong way, and things could turn worse if BRICS and other Asian countries put their own nations first and stop depending on US assets for financial benefits. The unwinding of the $7.5 trillion has already begun on a small scale, according to some of the world’s biggest money managers, speaking to Bloomberg.

These money managers warned that if the US fails to halt the outflow, the future could be bleak.

BRICS: $7.5 Trillion Asian Assets Sell-Off Could Shake the US Markets

For those unfamiliar with this financial shift, the sell-offs in US assets have already been initiated by BRICS. Since 2024, China alone has dumped $150 billion worth of US Treasuries and bonds, choosing to diversify its reserves.

Not just China—many developing nations have sold US assets and purchased gold to diversify their central banks' holdings. Hoarding the US dollar is seen as increasingly risky, especially as the debt ceiling has surged past $36 trillion.

“We are in a shifting world order and I do not believe that we will go back to the state of things as we had before,” said Virginie Maisonneuve, Chief Investment Officer at Allianz Global Investors.

“It is an evolution from the World War Two order and is partially triggered by China rivaling the US in economic and technology terms,” she added.

If BRICS and Asian countries pull the plug on their $7.5 trillion investments in Treasuries and bonds, the US financial markets could be severely shaken.

XRP LAWSUIT: NEW MYSTERIOUS ‘DECISIVE EVIDENCE’ TO CHANGE RIPPLE OUTCOME?

▪️ Mysterious Filing Resurfaces: Justin Keener submits an emergency motion claiming “decisive evidence” that could aid Ripple in its lawsuit.

▪️ Ripple vs. SEC Drama Continues: Legal experts weigh in as the XRP community watches how this filing might impact the case before June 16.

The XRP lawsuit never “fails to entertain” and it just got interesting. A mysterious filing by Justin W. Keener with an emergency motion has resurfaced again.

Decisive Evidence to Change the Outcome?

Keener says that he has “decisive evidence” which could change the outcome of the Ripple vs. SEC case in favor of Ripple. This unexpected move invited comments from experts like Bill Morgan and Marc Fagel.

“XRP Case Never Fails to Surprise”

Bill Morgan shared that he expected some kind of filing, especially with the 60-day deadline for a status update nearing on June 16. He didn’t expect a lengthy, emotional rant against the Howey Test and its court interpretations, especially about “investment contracts.” The rant also criticized the SEC’s actions over the past 90 years.

“This case never fails to entertain or end,” he said, which shows how unpredictable the lawsuit has become.

Marc Fagel also pointed out that this is the second time the same individual has submitted documents. The SEC even responded to the first one but questioned why the court hasn’t shut down the person’s PACER account yet, given the unauthorized filings.

Keener’s first attempt to submit his “decisive evidence” in the Ripple case was shut down back in April, but he’s now trying again. Keener was recently fined $10 million for illegally trading penny stocks without registering as a dealer.

Will This Impact the Lawsuit?

The XRP community is watching closely to see if this would have any impact on the lawsuit. Most expect the court to reject it again, but how the judge and SEC respond this time will show whether it has any real impact.

In a recent letter to the SEC, Ripple said that fungible crypto assets like XRP aren’t securities in secondary sales. Citing legal expert Lewis Cohen and a 2023 court ruling, Ripple argued that these tokens don’t carry the legal traits of securities and requested the SEC to adopt clearer rules, noting that XRP itself was ruled not a security in public trading.

BRICS: 44 COUNTRIES ALIGN WITH DE-DOLLARIZATION AGENDA

A total of 44 countries are aligning with the de-dollarization agenda kick-started by the BRICS alliance. The 11-member bloc is rewriting trade policies to benefit their national economies and currencies while ignoring the US dollar.

The shift against the greenback is accelerating as emerging economies are bringing investments back home. Developing countries are cutting ties with the US-based financial investments such as bonds, and accumulating gold and local currencies in their reserves.

The economic policies of the White House have caused extreme financial distress in developing countries. From Trump initiating tariffs to trade wars and global dominance, emerging economies are siding with BRICS as the bloc advances the de-dollarization agenda.

The US now stands alone on the global stage as even the European Union, which is its close ally, is considering the euro for transactions. Several leaders have openly called to reduce dependency on the USD and focus on European assets.

44 Countries Align With BRICS De-Dollarization Agenda

Vietnam became the latest country to show interest in the BRICS de-dollarization agenda in 2025. Around 44 countries are interested in BRICS expansion and officially taking part in the de-dollarization policies. The nations who are on the sidelines want to dismantle the US dollar’s dominance and replace it with local currencies.

The upcoming 17th summit in Rio de Janeiro will signal how fast the process will gain shape next. BRICS made it clear that the long-term goal of the alliance is to fast-track de-dollarization and end the US dollar’s supremacy. It is reported that many more countries could join the bandwagon from Asia and nations from the African region.

Emerging economies want to use BRICS as a stepping stone to officially launch the de-dollarization roadmap in their respective countries. They would have the backing of the New Development Bank (NDB) which can disburse loans in local currencies for infrastructural developments.

U.S. Department of Labor Reverses 2022 Guidance That Blocked Digital Assets From 401(k) Plans

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is scrapping a mandate in its 2022 guidance that prevented digital assets from being included in 401(k) retirement plans.

In a new press release, the DOL says it’s rolling back its 2022 compliance release, which previously instructed institutions to forgo using crypto assets as options for 401(k) plans.

In 2022, the DOL warned fiduciaries to use "extreme care" before offering digital assets as options for retirement plans, language that was considered unusual at the time as the agency historically has taken a neutral approach toward the subject, according to the press release.

According to U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer, the DOL is rolling back the government overreach created by the Biden Administration.

Says Chavez-DeRemer,

"The Biden administration’s department of labor made a choice to put their thumb on the scale. We’re rolling back this overreach and making it clear that investment decisions should be made by fiduciaries, not D.C. bureaucrats."

The DOL says it’s neither endorsing nor disapproving of employers who choose to include crypto assets and notes that its reasoning extends to other crypto-related products, such as derivatives.

Previously, the DOL said it had "serious concerns" about people’s retirement funds being tied up in crypto due to "significant risks of fraud, theft, and loss."

Russia Allows Banks to Offer Crypto Products to Accredited Investors

Russian banks have started rolling out crypto investment products tied to the price of Bitcoin following a greenlight from the central bank.

The Bank of Russia has permitted financial institutions to offer certain cryptocurrency-based financial instruments to accredited investors.

Russian banks are now free to provide qualified investors with a range of crypto products, including crypto derivatives, securities, and other digital financial assets tied to crypto prices, the central bank announced on May 28.

A key stipulation, however, is that these products must not involve the "actual delivery of cryptocurrencies," the Bank of Russia emphasized.

The announcement came alongside the Bank of Russia reporting a 51% increase in crypto asset inflows by Russian residents in the first quarter of 2025, totaling 7.3 trillion rubles ($81.5 billion).

T-Bank Among the First to Offer Bitcoin Investment Products

Some major Russian banks started rolling out cryptocurrency investment products immediately following the Bank of Russia’s announcement.

T-Bank (formerly Tinkoff Bank), one of the largest commercial banks in Russia, announced on May 29 the offering of digital financial assets (DFA) tied to Bitcoin.

“The tool allows you to invest in cryptocurrency in rubles through a familiar application — safely and within the legal framework of the Russian Federation, without opening an account on a crypto exchange and difficulties with protecting your wallet,” the bank said.

T-Bank’s new “smart asset” offering is issued through the Russian state-backed tokenization platform Atomyze and is available exclusively to accredited investors.

Direct Crypto Investments Still Not Encouraged

While greenlighting local lenders to offer crypto products, the Russian central bank still maintains a restrictive approach regarding direct cryptocurrency investment.

“The Bank of Russia still does not recommend financial institutions and their clients to invest directly in cryptocurrencies,” the Bank of Russia said in a statement.

The central bank also noted the ongoing government discussions on the potential launch of an experimental regime that would allow certain investors to trade crypto assets like Bitcoin directly.

Russia’s Estimated CEX Holdings Are at $9.2 Billion

In its latest financial stability review, the Bank of Russia estimated Russians’ crypto holdings on centralized exchanges (CEXs) at 827 billion rubles ($9.2 billion).

According to the authority, Bitcoin is leading Russians’ CEX holdings with a 62% share, with Ether (ETH) following at 22%. Stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USDC ranked third with a share of 15.9%.

Some local crypto enthusiasts observed that the actual figure of cryptocurrency held by Russians is significantly bigger than the estimated CEX holdings reported by the Bank of Russia.

“I know that [Pavel] Durov and [Alexey] Bilyuchenko alone have more money in their wallets than this amount,” Sergey Mendeleev, founder of the digital settlement exchange Exved, wrote on his Telegram channel. He hinted that Russians hold much bigger crypto amounts in wallets and decentralized exchanges.

FL Gov Ron DeSantis Signs Bill to Recognize Gold and Silver as Legal Tender

FL Gov Ron DeSantis Signs Bill to Recognize Gold and Silver as Legal Tender

Shadow of Ezra:  5-27-2025

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a new law that begins the process of recognizing gold and silver as legal tender in the state.

The measure allows certain precious metal coins to be used for everyday payments, offering Floridians a potential alternative to traditional currency.

DeSantis says the move is meant to protect against the declining value of the dollar, which he blames on constant deficit spending in Washington.

The bill will go into effect on July 1, 2026.

“You can’t print this out of thin air.”

https://twitter.com/i/status/1927474270193541554

DeSantis’s rationale is clear: he believes that relentless deficit spending in Washington is eroding the dollar’s purchasing power, leaving citizens vulnerable to inflationary pressures.

By offering an alternative in gold and silver, he argues, Floridians will have a haven against the whims of federal economic policy. This resonates with a growing sentiment of distrust in centralized financial systems and a desire for greater economic independence.

On the surface, the idea of a tangible, inflation-resistant currency is appealing, particularly in an era of economic uncertainty. Gold and silver have historically held their value better than paper currency during times of economic turmoil.

Supporters argue that allowing their use as legal tender provides a valuable hedge against potential dollar instability.

However, the practical implications of integrating precious metals into the everyday economy are complex and raise several questions.

Firstly, valuation and transaction costs: How will businesses accurately and consistently value gold and silver coins for everyday transactions? Fluctuations in the precious metals market could create confusion and arbitrage opportunities, requiring a robust system for pricing and verification. Furthermore, the costs associated with assaying and authenticating coins could make small transactions impractical.

Secondly, scalability: Can the existing supply of gold and silver coins adequately serve the needs of a state the size of Florida? A widespread shift to precious metal currency could strain supply chains and potentially drive up the price of gold and silver, negating the intended benefit of inflation protection.

Thirdly, integration with the existing financial system: How will this new system interact with the traditional banking infrastructure? Will banks be required to accept gold and silver deposits? Without seamless integration, the adoption of precious metals as legal tender could create a fragmented and inefficient financial landscape.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, potential for manipulation and fraud: The inherent value of precious metals makes them attractive targets for counterfeiters. A lack of robust security measures could expose Floridians to the risk of accepting fake or diluted gold and silver coins.

While DeSantis’s intentions are laudable, the success of this initiative hinges on careful planning and implementation. Florida must address the aforementioned challenges to ensure that the transition to a precious metal-backed system is smooth and beneficial for its citizens.

The move by Florida is undoubtedly a bold experiment, one that the rest of the nation will be watching closely. It raises fundamental questions about the future of currency and the role of government in monetary policy.

Whether it proves to be a golden opportunity or a fool’s errand remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain:

Florida’s gamble on precious metals has sparked a crucial conversation about the stability and reliability of our financial system. Now, it is up to the state to prove that its vision of a gold-backed future is more than just a pipe dream.

Kitco News:  5-27-2025

Gold is near $3,300, silver is testing $33, and trust in fiat money is fading fast.

In this Kitco News interview, Jeremy Szafron speaks with Ronald-Peter Stöferle, managing partner at Incrementum and author of the In Gold We Trust 2025 report, to unpack what he calls “The Big Long” - a new phase of the secular gold bull market and a breakdown of the old monetary order.

Stöferle outlines long-term gold targets as high as $8,900, explains why the next global realignment may already be underway, and makes the case for why silver and miners could soon outperform.

Key topics:

• Why trust is now the most scarce asset in global finance

• Gold’s next phase: $4,800 to $8,900?

• Silver’s breakout and the rise of “performance gold”

• The real story behind central bank gold buying

• Could Bitcoin become a neutral reserve asset?

• Trump, tariffs, and the Mar-a-Lago Accord

• Why the traditional 60/40 portfolio is dead

• What the U.S. fiscal trajectory means for gold and markets

De-dollarization: SCO Nations Shift 92% of Trade Away from U.S. Dollar

De-dollarization is accelerating dramatically right now as Shanghai Cooperation Organization members are reducing their United States dollar dependency in international trade. SCO nations have also successfully implemented currency substitution strategies, with Russia reporting that national currencies now account for over 92% of trade settlements with fellow member states, and this marks a historic shift away from dollar-dominated global commerce.

“Our countries are increasing the use of national currencies in mutual settlements. For example, their share in Russia’s commercial transactions with members of the organization has already exceeded 92% in the first four months of this year.”

How SCO Nations, BRICS, and Currency Substitution Are Driving De-dollarization Trends

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s coordinated approach to de-dollarization represents a fundamental shift in global financial architecture right now.

This massive economic bloc, which encompasses China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also Uzbekistan, controls approximately 42% of the world’s population and represents significant economic power that’s driving currency substitution initiatives across the region.

Putin also noted the broader economic success of SCO nations:

“The average GDP growth of the member countries of our organization last year amounted to more than 5%, industrial production to 4.5%, while the inflation rate is only 2.4%. At the same time, Russia’s trade with the SCO states has increased by a quarter.”

SCO’s Strategic De-dollarization Implementation

The de-dollarization movement within SCO represents more than just statistical changes—it also reflects systematic policy coordination among member nations at the time of writing. Putin emphasized Russia’s commitment to expanding non-dollar payment mechanisms, and he’s proposing an independent SCO settlement system that would further reduce United States dollar dependency.

BRICS nations are working closely with SCO countries to implement currency substitution across multiple economic sectors right now. China’s yuan has emerged as a primary alternative currency, while bilateral trade agreements are increasingly favoring national currencies over traditional dollar-denominated transactions, and this trend is gaining momentum.

The coordination between SCO nations and also BRICS members amplifies de-dollarization effects globally. These interconnected economic blocs represent countries that are seeking financial sovereignty through currency substitution, and they’re reducing exposure to United States dollar volatility and potential sanctions.

Putin highlighted the strategic importance of this transition:

“Regular meetings of economy and finance ministers and governors of central banks made a weighty contribution to the development of trade and investment in the SCO.”

Oil-producing nations that were traditionally tied to petrodollar systems are now exploring alternatives. Saudi Arabia’s openness to yuan-denominated oil transactions with China exemplifies how even traditional dollar allies are considering currency substitution options right now.

Since almost all of the trade settlements within the SCO avoid the dollar, this achievement shows that large-scale de-dollarization works well. This action by leading economies is now challenging the United States dollar’s long-standing place in global trade and it may play a major role in reshaping financial systems over the next few decades.

WisdomTree’s XRP ETF Approval Bid Gains Momentum with SEC Review

▪️SEC begins review of WisdomTree’s proposed spot XRP ETF, sparking optimism and driving XRP’s price to $2.30.

▪️Ripple pushes back on security claims as ETF approval could mark a turning point for XRP's regulatory and institutional future.

XRP is making noise in the market again, now trading around $2.30. Investors are getting bullish as excitement builds over a potential U.S. spot ETF approval. The market is responding with optimism, seeing the move as a major step toward broader institutional access and legitimacy for the token.

Though XRP cleared the securities tag partially, a final court judgement is awaited; however, the pace SEC is going with XRP ETFs, it seems all is under control and approval is on the way.

SEC Opens Door for XRP Spot ETF
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially started reviewing the WisdomTree XRP Trust, a proposed spot ETF that would allow investors to gain exposure to XRP without owning the token directly. This would be the first U.S.-based spot XRP ETF, potentially laying the groundwork for other crypto ETFs in the future.

Filed by Cboe BZX Exchange, the ETF aims to mirror the price of XRP via the CME CF Ripple-Dollar Reference Rate. If approved, it would enable XRP trading through traditional brokerage accounts, eliminating the need for crypto wallets or private keys.

Investor Protection at Play
As part of the process, the SEC has published a notice under Release No. 34-103124, calling for public feedback. The agency wants input on whether the product protects investors and how it plans to tackle market manipulation concerns. The Commission has 240 days to decide whether to approve or reject the application.

At the same time, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, fired back at the SEC’s broader crypto stance. In a recent letter to the agency’s crypto taskforce, he urged clearer rules, stating that XRP is not a security. He warned that vague regulatory terms like “decentralized” or “fully functional” only add confusion for both issuers and market participants.

With the SEC’s clock ticking and public comment now open, all eyes are on how the Commission handles this groundbreaking application. For now, bullish sentiment is picking up, and XRP’s rally suggests that traders are betting big on a regulatory breakthrough.

BITGET LAUNCHES BGUSD — A 4% YIELD-BEARING STABLE ASSET BACKED BY REAL-WORLD ASSETS

Bitget is diving into the red-hot real-world asset (RWA) sector with a new crypto product — BGUSD, a yield-bearing stable asset offering 4% APY, paid daily.

What Is BGUSD?

🔹 BGUSD is not your average stablecoin — Bitget CEO Gracy Chen calls it a “yield-bearing stable asset certificate.”

🔹 It offers 4% annual yield, credited daily to users’ spot wallets.

🔹 Subscriptions are available via USDC or USDT, and BGUSD is redeemable back to USDC on demand.

🔹 Yield is generated through a basket of tokenized real-world assets like U.S. Treasury bills and high-grade money-market funds.

How It Works

Bitget partners with regulated tokenization platforms like Superstate to manage its asset reserves.

🛡️ Liquidity: Bitget directly manages the reserve pool and maintains on-hand USDC to guarantee redemptions.

📑 Transparency: Bitget will implement third-party attestations and audits soon, though its institutional partners already follow strict regulatory oversight.

“Transparency and accountability are core principles of BGUSD’s framework.” — Gracy Chen, CEO, Bitget

No Stablecoin, No Security — A New Category?

Bitget says BGUSD is not a stablecoin or a security, and therefore isn’t subject to traditional licensing requirements.

“It’s structured as a yield-bearing stable asset certificate exclusive to the Bitget platform.” — Chen

🌍 Availability: Access will be restricted in jurisdictions with digital asset regulations.

Why It Matters

The launch comes as yield-bearing stablecoins explode, growing from $1.5B in January to $11B in May, now comprising 4.5% of the stablecoin market.

📈 Regulatory tailwinds from the Trump administration are pushing growth:

• SEC approved the first U.S. yield-bearing stablecoin by Figure Markets (Feb 2025)

• Legislative support includes the STABLE Act and the GENIUS Act

Bottom Line

With BGUSD, Bitget enters the fast-growing RWA + stablecoin arena — offering a product that merges crypto convenience with traditional finance yield.

JP MORGAN DOWNGRADES U.S. DOLLAR — SAYS BRICS GIANTS CHINA & INDIA ARE ASCENDING

JP Morgan is shifting gears—cutting its outlook on the U.S. dollar while turning bullish on emerging markets, particularly BRICS powerhouses China and India.

Dollar Weakness Opens Door for BRICS Surge

According to JP Morgan’s latest research note, the U.S. dollar could remain soft throughout 2025, and that may be the catalyst for a major capital shift into BRICS markets.

📉 The DXY Index has slid into the 98 range, struggling to hold above key resistance levels near 100.

“USD could stay soft this year, which would help EM assets (BRICS),” the report stated.
“EM historically traded inversely to the dollar. The big question: Is the 15-year EM downtrend finally reversing?”

Spotlight on China, India, and Brazil

JP Morgan highlighted China, India, and Brazil as top picks within the emerging market space.

“Within EM, we think (BRICS members) China could be of interest… as well as India and Brazil.”

The CSI index and H-shares are seen as poised for a catch-up rally, with institutional and hedge fund flows already shifting into these markets.

U.S. Policy Risks Amplify Dollar Headwinds

JP Morgan cautioned that U.S. fiscal uncertainty may worsen dollar weakness:

“US bond yields may rise short-term—fueled by potential aggressive tax cuts, rising deficits, and inflationary tariffs—but that backdrop could actually accelerate EM strength.”

The combination of slowing dollar momentum, global investment inflows, and rising geopolitical autonomy in BRICS may lead to a broader de-dollarization trend in the global economy.

Why It Matters

🌍 As the dollar stumbles, BRICS nations could emerge as investment darlings, with massive implications for:

• Global FX reserves

• Commodities pricing

• Crypto flows into BRICS-aligned regions

Bottom Line

JP Morgan is betting on the rise of the East. With the dollar losing steam, BRICS nations may finally flip the global economic script — and investors are already moving capital accordingly.

MORGAN STANLEY PREDICTS 10% DROP IN US DOLLAR — SEES BOOST FOR RISK ASSETS AND S&P 500

Morgan Stanley has issued a bold mid-year forecast: the U.S. dollar is headed for a major decline, which could act as a tailwind for equities, crypto, and other risk-on assets.

CIO Mike Wilson: “Dollar to Fall Another 10% Into 2026”

In an interview with Bloomberg Television, Chief Investment Officer Mike Wilson said:

“Our forecast for the dollar… is for another 10% decline, continuing into next year. That’s another reason the S&P 500 will be hard-pressed to correct more than 10%.”

The call is based largely on Morgan Stanley’s projection of 175 basis points in Fed rate cuts over the next year.

📉 If realized, this would deepen pressure on the greenback and stimulate broader asset markets.

Even with Fewer Rate Cuts, Dollar Still Going Down

Wilson emphasized that even if the Fed doesn’t cut rates as aggressively:

“The direction of travel is still south for the dollar… particularly against the yen, euro, and pound — economies with less room to cut in a slowdown.”

This shift could:

• Weaken the dollar globally

• Make U.S. exports more competitive

• Push investors toward commodities, stocks, and crypto

Why This Matters for Investors

A falling U.S. dollar tends to:

• Support higher stock prices (especially in large caps and tech)

• Provide upside to Bitcoin, XRP, and other crypto assets

• Drive flows into emerging markets and commodities

With dollar strength waning, traders and institutions may rotate heavily into risk-on trades to front-run 2026 macro shifts.

Bottom Line

Morgan Stanley’s call is clear: rate cuts are coming, the dollar is weakening, and risk assets are positioned to benefit.

As the greenback loses steam, expect crypto and equities to surge — especially if the Fed confirms the pivot in coming months.

FLORIDA TO SCRAP CAPITAL GAINS TAX ON BITCOIN, XRP, AND STOCKS — A GAME-CHANGER FOR CRYPTO IN AMERICA

In a bold move that could reshape U.S. crypto policy, Florida has introduced legislation to eliminate state capital gains tax on Bitcoin, XRP, and traditional stocks, sending bullish signals across the markets.

State-Level Tax Break Could Supercharge Crypto Adoption

Backed by Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida’s GOP leadership, the bill would:

• Remove capital gains tax at the state level for profits from crypto and stock investments

• Increase investor returns, making Florida more attractive to crypto traders and fintech firms

• Position the state as a potential crypto capital of the U.S.

🔸 Federal capital gains tax still applies — only Congress can change that.

Markets React: BTC and XRP Climb

In the 24 hours following the announcement:

• Bitcoin (BTC) rose 2.4%, trading near $109,835

• XRP jumped 2.2% to $2.34

📊 Growth Trends:

Asset 30-Day 3-Month

BTC +16.55% +19.6%

XRP +5.42% +2.71%

Some analysts predict Bitcoin could hit $135,000 if this momentum continues.

In Sync With Trump’s National Pro-Crypto Push

This legislation mirrors President Trump’s federal crypto agenda:

• Advocates pro-blockchain policies

• Has support across 27 Republican-led states

• Could inspire a wave of similar tax reform bills

Mixed Public Response

Supporters say:

• Could make Florida the #1 crypto-friendly state

• Will attract VCs, builders, and high-net-worth investors

Critics argue:

• Might complicate filings and cause clashes with federal tax rules

• Risks regulatory confusion across state-federal lines

Why It Matters: This Could Spark Nationwide Crypto Tax Reform

If Florida’s bill passes:

• Other GOP-led states may follow suit

• Federal lawmakers may face increased pressure to modernize crypto tax policy

• Could create a more unified, investor-friendly U.S. crypto landscape

Bottom Line

Florida isn’t just tweaking its tax code—it may be igniting the next phase of U.S. crypto regulation. Whether you’re holding BTC, XRP, or just watching the policy tide, this bill deserves your full attention.

PETER SCHIFF WARNS TRUMP’S ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’ WILL TRIGGER ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, OBLITERATE THE DOLLAR

Renowned economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff has issued a dire warning about President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” calling it a ticking time bomb for the U.S. economy. In a flurry of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Schiff lambasted the legislation as a fiscal disaster that could obliterate the U.S. dollar and trigger a sovereign debt crisis.

“A Fiscal Nuke in Disguise”

Schiff minced no words, labeling the bill as a continuation of the same reckless policies that led to America’s economic decline. He warned that instead of Making America Great Again, the bill could be the "straw that breaks the camel’s back."

“It may usher in a long-overdue dollar & sovereign debt crisis,” Schiff declared.

No Deficit Cuts, Just More Spending

The bill spans 1,116 pages, yet Schiff points out none of them reduce the deficit. In fact, he says the legislation bloats government spending and masks its true cost through accounting gimmicks.

“Only two House Republicans had the courage to vote against this monstrosity,” he wrote. “It’s a total fraud and a betrayal.”

Tax Cuts or Hidden Tax Hike?

Despite Trump touting the bill as a historic tax cut, Schiff says the real cost of government is total spending, not the tax rate.

“This bill increases spending, so it’s a tax hike, not a tax cut,” he stated, predicting rising inflation and interest rates as the eventual burden on taxpayers.

Medicaid Cuts Won’t Stick

Schiff also took aim at the bill’s alleged cuts to Medicaid, calling them a deceptive talking point. He noted the reductions don’t take effect for five years—if ever—and will likely be rolled back under political pressure.

Supporters Push Back

While Schiff is sounding the alarm, backers of the bill argue it brings clarity to tax policy and aims to resolve structural problems inherited from previous administrations. They see it as a roadmap to economic stability—but Schiff warns that stability can’t come from denial and debt

As the political divide over U.S. fiscal policy deepens, Schiff’s warnings add to growing fears that America’s debt-fueled economy is heading toward a breaking point.

CAN BRICS TOPPLE THE US DOLLAR? BRAZIL CENTRAL BANK DIRECTOR SAYS NOT IN THIS DECADE

Despite rising momentum behind BRICS’ de-dollarization agenda, Brazil’s Central Bank Deputy Governor Nilton David has cast serious doubt on the bloc’s ability to dethrone the U.S. dollar anytime soon. Speaking during a recent webcast, David broke down the myths vs. reality of BRICS’ financial influence—and his conclusion was blunt:

 “No BRICS Asset Strong Enough to Replace the Dollar”

David, who also serves as Director of Monetary Policy, acknowledged BRICS' efforts to promote local currencies in trade, but said the alliance lacks a credible alternative to the greenback.

“There are no stronger BRICS-denominated assets or currencies that can replace the U.S. dollar,” he stated, adding,
“I don’t think that will change over the coming decade.”

Bitcoin? Not the Answer Either

When asked if Bitcoin could disrupt the dollar’s dominance, David dismissed it outright.

“It’s a speculative currency by nature,” he said, emphasizing Brazil’s $340 billion in FX reserves are in dollars because the greenback is far more stable than crypto assets.

BRICS Facing Limitations

While BRICS has made headlines for challenging Western financial hegemony, David said the alliance still lacks the depth, liquidity, and trust required to rival the dollar on a global scale.

“The push for local currency trade is real, but it won’t ‘nail the coffin’ on the dollar,” he noted.

He further questioned whether BRICS could ever serve as a true counterweight to the West, citing financial and structural limitations.

Bottom Line: De-dollarization May Be Inevitable—But It Won’t Be Fast

As speculation grows about a BRICS-led global shift, Brazil’s central bank sees no immediate threat to the U.S. dollar’s supremacy. While alternative trading mechanisms may gain ground, a full-scale dethroning of the greenback appears decades away—if at all.

DUBAI LAND DEPARTMENT LAUNCHES TOKENIZED REAL ESTATE INITIATIVE ON XRP LEDGER

The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has officially launched a landmark initiative in partnership with Ctrl Alt, aimed at transforming real estate investment through blockchain-based tokenization on the XRP Ledger.

Ctrl Alt and DLD Launch Real Estate Tokenization Project

Ctrl Alt has officially launched its tokenization partnership with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) for the Real Estate Tokenization Project, marking a significant step forward in property investment innovation within the Emirate.

This initiative, developed in collaboration with the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) and the Dubai Future Foundation, uses the XRP Ledger to establish a secure and compliant framework for tokenizing real estate title deeds.

Fractional Ownership Through PRYPCO Mint

By enabling fractional ownership, the project allows multiple investors to co-own properties with a minimum investment of AED 2,000 through the PRYPCO Mint platform.

This model opens the door to broader participation, especially for retail and global investors previously excluded by high capital requirements. Blockchain integration ensures that ownership records remain immutable and verifiable, reducing fraud and administrative overhead.

Blockchain Technology to Drive Transparency and Efficiency

The DLD’s implementation of blockchain technology for property registration is designed to enhance transparency, boost investor confidence, and improve operational efficiency in the real estate market.

This technological shift not only aligns with Dubai's forward-looking stance on digital innovation but also supports the creation of a more inclusive and liquid real estate ecosystem.

Economic Impact and Long-Term Vision

The initiative is projected to help build a tokenized real estate market worth AED 60 billion ($16 billion) by 2033, in line with Dubai’s Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033 and the Emirate’s broader economic goals. The move underscores Dubai's ambition to be a global leader in blockchain-powered real estate.

Ctrl Alt CEO Hails the Initiative

Matt Ong, CEO of Ctrl Alt, expressed strong support for the partnership, stating:

“This project has the potential to significantly broaden investor participation and truly modernize the real estate sector. It’s a new chapter for real estate ownership and investment in the region.”

The launch of this initiative signals a broader shift toward digitally-native investment solutions and may serve as a blueprint for other global cities seeking to integrate blockchain into traditional asset markets.

EUROPE’S LARGEST BANK HSBC LAUNCHES FIRST-EVER CRYPTO SETTLEMENT SERVICE IN HONG KONG

HSBC has officially launched a groundbreaking crypto settlement service in Hong Kong, marking a significant shift in how traditional banks interact with blockchain technology.

HSBC Introduces Blockchain-Powered Settlements

Europe’s largest bank, HSBC, has introduced the first-ever crypto settlement platform in Hong Kong, simplifying digital asset transactions for corporate clients. In a press release on May 22, the $3 trillion financial institution announced that users can now settle transactions using tokenized fiat deposits, boosting speed and lowering costs.

The platform instantly converts fiat deposits into digital tokens, enabling faster, round-the-clock payments in both Hong Kong dollars and U.S. dollars. This service is initially available only to Hong Kong clients, but HSBC has revealed plans to expand across Asia and Europe by late 2025.

A Historic First Transaction with Ant International

HSBC’s digital asset settlement service went live with a pioneering transaction involving Ant International, an affiliate of Alibaba Group Holdings. Ant used its treasury management system to initiate the payment, which was tokenized and settled instantly via HSBC’s distributed ledger technology (DLT) platform.

The two companies also successfully tested Ant’s Whale platform, a digital treasury and tokenization tool, highlighting their ongoing collaboration in fintech innovation.

HSBC’s Vision: Bridging Traditional and Digital Finance

Lewis Sun, HSBC’s Global Head of Domestic and Emerging Payments, hailed the development as a powerful example of tokenized finance merging seamlessly with traditional systems. He described Hong Kong as a global innovation hub and praised the city’s proactive regulatory environment in supporting digital transformation.

Sun stated:

“This service reflects how tokenized deposits can modernize payments, improving efficiency while maintaining trust.”

Hong Kong's Aggressive Push Toward Crypto Leadership

The launch comes amid Hong Kong’s broader ambition to position itself as a global crypto hub. Recent initiatives include:

• Issuing licenses to four new crypto exchanges, including DFX Labs and Accumulus Global

• Accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum as part of wealth disclosures for immigrant visas

• Passing a stablecoin bill in May requiring issuers to obtain operational licenses from the HKMA

These developments further highlight the region’s progressive stance on digital assets and its commitment to attracting global crypto innovation.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

FORMER IMF CHIEF ECONOMIST BELIEVES CRYPTO IS A RISING THREAT TO THE U.S. DOLLAR’S DOMINANCE

Kenneth Rogoff believes that “crypto has value” and its growing usage in the gray market can chip away at the dollar’s hegemony.

American economist Kenneth Rogoff believes that the rise of crypto poses a threat to the hegemony of the U.S. dollar.

Rogoff previously served as the chief economist at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and on the Federal Reserve Board. He is a published author and an economics professor at Harvard University.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Rogoff said that while the U.S. dollar is still the most dominant global currency, its influence is decreasing.

“I see it [dollar’s dominance] as in decline — it’s fraying at the edges where, of course, the renminbi is breaking free of the dollar, the euro is going to have a larger footprint — that’s been going on for a decade.”

Crypto is already eating away at the U.S. Dollar’s dominance

Rogoff said that one of the main markets for the U.S. dollar is the underground economy, sometimes referred to as the gray market or the shadow economy. The largest chunk of this economy, which the government cannot easily trace, is made up of tax evaders. Transactions conducted by criminals are also part of this economy, albeit a small one, he said.

As per Rogoff’s estimate and a World Bank survey, the underground economy constitutes about 20% of the world economy. That makes it worth around $20-to-$25 trillion, depending on the value of the dollar.

Earlier, the preferred mode of payment for such transactions used to be U.S. dollar notes. But now, crypto is increasingly emerging as the new favorite. In his latest book, Our Dollar, Your Problem, Rogoff states that cryptocurrencies have already started chipping off at the dollar’s global standing. In his interview, he said:

“…although crypto has not made significant inroads into the legal economy, it is increasingly used in the global underground economy – consisting of criminal activity but mainly tax and regulatory evasion – where cash, especially US dollars, had been king.”

The dollar losing its footing to crypto impacts the larger global market by making everything more expensive through rising interest rates. From Treasury bill rates and mortgages to car and student loans, all interest rates are affected by the dollar’s declining influence. This is because the U.S. enjoys an “exorbitant privilege” from the dollar being the most important reserve currency, he explained.

Additionally, U.S. authorities track financial flows to gather information about potential threats to national security, and a loss in the dollar’s market share makes that more difficult.

Ironically, last year, Senator Cynthia Lumis said that having Bitcoin (BTC) in reserve can help the dollar “remain strong.”

‘Crypto has value,’ Rogoff says

According to Rogoff, critics who believe cryptocurrencies are just scams with no value are “completely wrong.” He said:

“The notion that there is no ‘fundamental value proposition’ in transactions use [of crypto] is just wrong.”

Rogoff explained that cryptocurrencies provide an accepted medium of exchange, which is a value proposition. Even if the government heavily regulates crypto, it will still face significant challenges controlling the underground economy, where it has less leverage, he said.

Therefore, Rogoff insists that “crypto has value.” The difficulty that authorities will face in tracking crypto transactions in the gray market is significant, which means crypto is “not worthless,” because “there’s a lot at stake here,” he added. However, he clarified:

“Crypto can’t replace the dollar. But that’s in the legal economy where the government has a lot of leverage. But in the underground economy, by definition, it has much less leverage.”

FED QUIETLY BUYS $43,600,000,000 IN US TREASURIES IN ALLEGED ‘STEALTH QE’ OPERATION AFTER CHINA ABRUPTLY DUMPS BILLIONS IN BONDS

The Federal Reserve just bought $43.6 billion in US Treasuries in the span of a single week, sparking concerns that a quiet quantitative easing (QE) operation is already underway.

New documents reveal that the Fed purchased $8.8 billion in 30-year bonds on May 8th via its System Open Market Account (SOMA) – a move that followed a much larger $34.8 billion purchase earlier that same week.

The series of large purchases has triggered allegations that a “stealth QE” program is unfolding. A recent MarketWatch op-ed by Charlie Garcia described the move as “monetary policy on tiptoes.”

The Fed has long maintained that such purchases are routine reinvestments of maturing securities, designed to help adjust the money supply and influence interest rates to meet monetary policy targets.

The Fed’s buying spree comes in the wake of a major sell-off from China

New numbers from the U.S. Treasury Department show that China sold $18.9 billion in U.S. bonds in March, even as most other countries increased their holdings during the same period.

Following the sell-off, China’s holdings now stand at $765.4 billion, placing the country in third place among foreign holders of U.S. debt.

The top two holders are now:

• Japan, with $1.13 trillion

• The United Kingdom, with $779 billion

China’s reduction in holdings has raised questions about geopolitical motives and economic strategy, while the Fed’s sudden bond purchases have fueled speculation of backdoor liquidity support for U.S. markets.

While the Federal Reserve continues to deny any formal return to quantitative easing, market analysts and commentators are beginning to raise red flags about the scale and timing of these recent purchases.

If these trends continue, the Fed may face increasing scrutiny over whether it is quietly attempting to stabilize markets and artificially suppress long-term interest rates in response to foreign divestment and rising fiscal pressure.

RIPPLE HAILS CRYPTO ETF BOOM AS GAME-CHANGER FOR INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS

Ripple’s CEO breaks it down: crypto ETFs are revolutionizing access for institutional investors and delivering long-sought legitimacy, catapulting digital assets into mainstream financial dominance.

Ripple Unpacks Crypto ETF Surge—Access and Legitimacy Just Changed Everything

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse took the spotlight on Friday in a special episode of Ripple’s “Crypto In One Minute” to address the surging momentum behind crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs). His remarks focused on the question: “Why are crypto ETFs exciting?” Garlinghouse identified two central drivers behind the growing institutional enthusiasm for these financial products, highlighting both access and legitimacy as key developments transforming the digital asset landscape.

First, Garlinghouse emphasized that ETFs now offer traditional investors a new gateway into crypto markets, stating:

“This was really the first time you had institutions be able to go on Wall Street and trade directly in crypto.”

He explained that for years, institutional investors—ranging from mutual funds to pension funds—were largely sidelined due to the complexities of self-custody and hesitations around using centralized exchanges. With ETFs, capital that was previously locked out can now enter the market through familiar, regulated structures. This shift addresses long-standing access barriers that had limited crypto’s reach into mainstream finance.

Second, the Ripple CEO argued that the emergence of crypto ETFs is helping transform how the sector is perceived, stating:

“It really is institutionalizing the entire industry of crypto.”

Garlinghouse cited the rapid growth of bitcoin ETFs as evidence. This, he suggested, marks a growing acknowledgment of crypto as a serious and legitimate asset class, on par with traditional options like gold ETFs.

A Critical Moment for the Industry

Garlinghouse’s appearance comes at a pivotal time for the crypto industry, following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s approval of bitcoin and ether ETFs, which many view as a gateway to more diverse crypto investment products.

A wave of new filings has recently emerged, including proposals for XRP ETFs, reflecting heightened interest from institutional investors. The growing momentum is further fueled by President Donald Trump’s increasingly pro-crypto stance, and the appointment of crypto-friendly officials, such as the current SEC chairman.

Ripple’s Legal Resolution Adds Momentum

Adding further optimism to the crypto market, the SEC has moved to dismiss its enforcement case against Ripple over XRP—though the court has yet to approve the settlement agreement. The prolonged legal battle had cast uncertainty over XRP’s regulatory status in the U.S.

The anticipated resolution of this case is seen as a step toward regulatory clarity, as Ripple and its supporters anticipate a more stable and transparent environment for digital assets going forward.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

WHY RIPPLE AND XRP COULD BE THE BACKBONE OF THE G20’S FINANCIAL PLAN

▪️Ripple’s XRP and blockchain tech are key to helping the G20 achieve faster, cheaper cross-border payments by 2030.

▪️Adoption of Ripple’s solutions could boost XRP price to $10-$20 in 2025, with potential long-term growth to $1,000.

Ripple’s fast and affordable payment system is gaining traction around the world. A new report highlights that Ripple’s XRP and blockchain payment tech could play a key role in helping the G20 meet its cross-border payment goals by 2030.

A 2025 report from the U.S. Faster Payments Council (FPC) highlights how U.S. payment companies could play a big role in making global payments faster, cheaper, and more reliably.

Global demand is rising for faster, cheaper, and more transparent cross-border payments, and it’s already a $34 trillion market. The G20 is pushing hard to improve this space, seeing it as key to boosting trade, economic growth, and development. They plan to make payments quicker, more affordable, and easier to access.

Goals For 2027 and 2030

They have set clear targets for retail, wholesale, and remittance payments, and aim for major progress by 2027 and 2030. The 2027 and 2030 goals include:

• Cutting the cross-border payment costs to 1% or less

• Ensuring 75% of payments are completed within an hour

Promoting Inter-Industry Collabs

In order to meet the goals, the US Faster Payments Council (FPC) urges domestic providers to:

• Adopt ISO 20022

• Embrace interoperability

• Use blockchain tech like Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)

It also stressed points like focusing on financial inclusion and promoting inter-industry collaborations. It specifically noted Ripple and Stellar as key players that could improve the global cross-border payment landscape.

Ripple is reshaping global payments with its RippleNet and XRP-powered tech. As it follows global rules (like ISO 20022) and uses smart blockchain tools, it’s a top pick to help the G20 hit its payment goals.

As more firms adopt Ripple’s solutions, XRP could see big gains from the rising demand. With growing adoption, experts predict $XRP will hit $10-$20 easily in 2025. Reaching $100 could happen, but it is more likely in early 2026. And eventually, as the technology and network expand further, $XRP could reach $1,000.

BRICS VS. US DOLLAR: WHY 2025 IS THE YEAR IT HAPPENS OR IT DOESN’T

Throughout the last several years, the global south has sought ways to de-dollarize the global economy. They have made headway, but the greenback remains the most prominent currency on the planet. This could be why, when it comes to the BRICS bloc taking on the US dollar, 2025 may be the year it either happens or it doesn’t.

For as much as the economic alliance has continued to wage war against the currency, the US dollar’s position has not yet been threatened. Indeed, Brazil even confirmed that its position looks to be secured for much of the next 10 years.

Therefore, if it is unable to make significant gains regarding de-dollarization this year, it may be safe to question if it can ever happen.

BRICS & The US Dollar: Is 2025 The Last Year It Can Truly De-Dollarize The Globe?

The idea of de-dollarization has seemingly been ingrained in the very makeup of the BRICS alliance. The bloc has sought to challenge the global status quo. There may be no bigger aspect of that than the greenback and its position.

Moreover, it is a major reason for tension between the West and the bloc. Specifically, those tensions led US President Donald Trump to threaten 150% tariffs on the group.

The alliance has discussed the creation of its own native trade settlement currency to lessen reliance on the West. It has also promoted the use of national currencies in trade to diversify.

However, the fact of the matter may be that, when it comes to the BRICS bloc and the US dollar, 2025 is the year that they take major strides in de-dollarization, or they may never will.

The BRICS bloc operates on a rotating presidency. This ensures that every country gets a chance to chair the group and lead issues they deem vital. This year lies on Brazil, one of the loudest proponents of lessening US dollar reliance. However, next year India is set to take over the position.

Throughout this year, India has sought to strengthen ties with the United States in a big way. The two nations are expected to announce a new trade deal with depleted tariffs on US imports. Moreover, it has been vehemently against any de-dollarization efforts.

Therefore, it could be a stark end to those efforts. Specifically, if plans to dethrone the dollar don’t make major strides over the next several months, it’s fair to wonder if they ever will.
