Serbia Confirms Strong Interest in Joining BRICS at 2025 Summit
By Watcher.Guru | June 2025

As the 17th BRICS Summit approaches, Serbia has officially reaffirmed its intention to join the expanding BRICS alliance. The summit will take place on July 6–7 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and could mark a pivotal moment for the bloc’s next wave of expansion.

Serbian Prime Minister: “It Is of Strategic Interest”

Serbian Prime Minister Duro Macut made the country’s position clear, stating that:

“We consistently advocate the need to deepen cooperation with our traditional partners and friends. The BRICS countries are the most important players on the world stage, and the development of strong, mutually beneficial relations with them is of a strategic interest to us.”

Serbia formally submitted its application to join BRICS in 2023, when the alliance last opened its doors for expansion.

BRICS Expansion: Who’s In—and Who’s Waiting

In 2024, BRICS added 13 new “Partner Countries”, including:

Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.

While Serbia was not included in that group, it remains among the 23 countries that have formally applied to join the bloc. An additional 22 countries have expressed informal interest, reflecting the growing global momentum around BRICS.

Balancing BRICS and the EU

In a noteworthy diplomatic move, PM Macut also reiterated Serbia’s parallel ambition to join the European Union:

“Serbia continues its path towards membership in the European Union,” he stated in a recent interview with foreign media.

Serbia continues to navigate complex post-Yugoslav geopolitics, including past sanctions, while seeking stronger ties with both Eastern and Western alliances.

Decision Expected in July—But Not Guaranteed

Whether Serbia will be invited to join BRICS will likely be decided during the July summit in Brazil. The BRICS expansion process is consensus-driven, meaning all existing member states must agree to admit new countries.

A key question remains: What value can Serbia bring to BRICS that strengthens the bloc's collective influence?

As the BRICS alliance seeks to redefine the global geopolitical landscape—especially amid rising tensions with Western institutions—Serbia's bid could serve as a strategic pivot between Europe and the multipolar order BRICS envisions.

Crypto Momentum Builds: US House Passes Landmark Bill to Boost Blockchain Adoption
By Bitcoinist | June 2025

In a bipartisan push to strengthen U.S. competitiveness and innovation, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed new legislation aimed at accelerating the adoption of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) across public and private sectors.

Blockchain Promotion Bill Clears the House

On Thursday, policy platform Bitcoin Laws reported that the House approved HR 1664 — the Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025. This bill directs the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to lead national efforts in advancing blockchain use cases and ensuring U.S. leadership in this strategic technology.

Originally introduced in February by Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) and co-sponsored by Rep. Darren Soto (D-FL), HR 1664 outlines the creation of a Blockchain Deployment Program. The program is tasked with:

• Developing best practices for blockchain integration

• Advising the President on blockchain deployment and competitiveness

• Promoting national security and economic interests through secure DLT use

• Coordinating across federal agencies to provide unified support for blockchain adoption

“This is a forward-thinking bill that places blockchain on the national agenda as a tool for innovation, transparency, and strategic advantage,” said Rep. Cammack during committee discussions.

Advisory Committees and National Oversight

If enacted, the legislation mandates the formation of advisory committees within 180 days to assist in blockchain adoption strategy. These bodies will help shape regulatory, technical, and economic guidance for implementation across industries.

Senate Takes Up Crypto Legislation

The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration, continuing what many see as a wave of legislative momentum around digital assets. HR 1664 follows on the heels of two major crypto-related efforts:

• The GENIUS Act, a bill focused on stablecoin regulation, which recently cleared the Senate

• The CLARITY Act, the House’s crypto market structure bill, which advanced through committee markups

Although discussions continue about merging GENIUS and CLARITY, some lawmakers prefer to keep them separate for strategic passage.

White House Crypto & AI Czar David Sacks summarized the expected timeline:
“July will be a big month — with a bill signing for GENIUS and CLARITY going to the Senate!”

A New Legislative Roadmap for Crypto in America

According to Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott, lawmakers are now targeting a markup in early September and final passage by September 30, staying ahead of the August recess.

With President Donald Trump voicing support for both GENIUS and CLARITY, the stage is set for a landmark summer in U.S. crypto policy.

“President Trump supports CLARITY on market structure as well as GENIUS on stablecoins,” said Sacks, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to crypto innovation.

Ripple Ends Legal Fight With SEC: “We’re Closing This Chapter Once and for All,” Says CEO
By The Block | June 2025

In a significant development for the crypto industry, Ripple Labs is officially ending its years-long legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The decision, announced Friday by CEO Brad Garlinghouse, marks a definitive conclusion to one of the longest and most closely watched regulatory disputes in crypto.

Ripple Drops Cross-Appeal in SEC Lawsuit

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Garlinghouse stated:

“We’re closing this chapter once and for all, and focusing on what’s most important – building the Internet of Value. Lock in.”

Garlinghouse confirmed that Ripple is dropping its cross-appeal, which would have challenged separate elements of the court’s decision. A cross-appeal allows a party to contest different parts of a ruling not addressed in the original appeal.

Background: Ripple’s $1.3 Billion SEC Battle

The case began in 2020, when the SEC accused Ripple of conducting an unregistered securities offering by selling $1.3 billion worth of XRP. The commission claimed that XRP was a security under U.S. law.

In a landmark 2023 ruling, Judge Analisa Torres of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a mixed decision:

• Programmatic XRP sales on exchanges did not violate securities laws, due to the blind bid/ask process.

• Direct institutional sales did constitute securities transactions, exposing Ripple to penalties.

This second finding led to a $125 million civil penalty against the company.

Ripple and SEC Motion Rejected by Judge Torres

Garlinghouse’s announcement came one day after Judge Torres rejected a joint motion from Ripple and the SEC to modify the existing injunction. The two parties had requested a ruling to:

• Dissolve the existing injunction

• Allow $50 million of the $75 million penalty to be paid to the SEC

• Allocate $25 million to Ripple as part of the resolution

The court denied the motion, maintaining its previous rulings.

Ripple Moves On From Legal Saga

Though Ripple had already stated back in March that it would not pursue a cross-appeal, Friday’s statement puts an official capstone on the case. A Ripple spokesperson declined to comment further.

The conclusion of this legal chapter may allow Ripple to re-focus its resources on international expansion and XRP Ledger development, free of the uncertainty that has loomed over the company since 2020.

With the cross-appeal dropped, Ripple now stands fully compliant with the court’s rulings and regulatory penalties, potentially setting a new precedent for future crypto-related enforcement actions.

BRICS Summit Preview, China to Move Towards Internationalizing Yuan, with Gold as Collateral

BRICS Summit Preview, China to Move Towards Internationalizing Yuan, with Gold as Collateral

Arcadia Economics:  6-27-2025

As the much-anticipated BRICS Summit draws near, global financial circles are buzzing with speculation about the key announcements and strategic shifts likely to emerge.

 Among the most intriguing prospects, according to insights shared by Vince Lanci on Arcadia Economics, is a significant move by China to bolster the international standing of its currency, the Yuan, leveraging the age-old bedrock of value: gold.

Lanci’s analysis, detailed in a recent Arcadia Economics show, reveals that Beijing is poised to begin unveiling the foundational infrastructure for its ambitious plan to internationalize the Yuan (CNY). What makes this initiative particularly noteworthy – and potentially game-changing – is the explicit intention to use gold as collateral for the Chinese currency.

This strategic pivot could fundamentally reconfigure global financial dynamics. By backing the Yuan with gold, China aims to enhance its credibility and stability on the world stage, offering a tangible alternative to the prevailing fiat currency systems.

 The move underscores a broader trend within the BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) towards establishing alternative economic frameworks and reducing reliance on traditional Western-dominated financial structures.

The integration of gold as a foundational asset for the Yuan not only lends an unprecedented level of perceived security but also harks back to a more tangible form of currency backing, potentially appealing to nations seeking greater transparency and stability in their trade and reserve assets.

This initiative could represent a significant step towards diversifying global reserve assets and trade settlements away from traditional benchmarks, offering new pathways for international commerce and investment.

As the BRICS Summit unfolds, the world will be watching closely to see the initial steps of this potentially transformative financial architecture take shape.

For those seeking deeper understanding and real-time analysis of these pivotal developments, Vince Lanci’s full discussion on Arcadia Economics offers invaluable further insights and information.

US Judge Denies Ripple–SEC Joint Bid to Slash $125M Penalty
By Cointelegraph | June 2025

A U.S. federal judge has rejected a joint motion from Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to reduce a $125 million penalty and vacate prior rulings that classified Ripple’s institutional XRP sales as unregistered securities.

The decision was handed down by Judge Analisa Torres of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, who reaffirmed that Ripple must adhere to federal securities laws, regardless of evolving SEC policy.

Key Developments:

▪️ Judge Torres denied the request to reduce the $125M civil penalty or reverse the ruling that Ripple’s XRP sales to institutions violated Section 5 of the Securities Act.
▪️ The court emphasized that the appropriate venue for altering a final order is through appeal—not by informal agreement between parties.
▪️ Judge Torres wrote:

“Ripple’s willingness to push the boundaries of the Order evinces a likelihood that it will eventually, if it has not already, cross the line.”

Background:

Ripple and the SEC jointly filed a motion seeking an indicative ruling, asking the lower court to reconsider its final order in light of the SEC’s softened stance on crypto enforcement.

However, Judge Torres rejected this procedural move, stating that nothing has materially changed since her earlier ruling to justify a reduced penalty or reversed injunction.

“They now claim it is in the public interest to cut the Civil Penalty by sixty percent… The Court disagrees,” she added.

Ripple’s Response and the SEC’s Retreat:

While Ripple did not immediately comment, the ruling comes after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse previously declared the SEC’s dropped appeal as a “resounding victory” for the company and the broader crypto industry.

In March, the parties agreed to settle the monetary aspect of the case, proposing a 60% reduction in penalties:
▪️ $50 million to the SEC
▪️ $75 million to be returned to Ripple
▪️ Funds currently held in escrow pending court approval

Why It Matters:

This case has become a cornerstone legal battle for the crypto industry, with Ripple’s partial victories hailed as precedent-setting. Yet, Judge Torres’ refusal to revise the penalty underscores that regulatory enforcement remains grounded in statutory law—not political shifts or private settlements.

Ripple’s legal journey may be winding down, but the court has made it clear: accountability under federal securities laws stands firm.

Confirmed: ISO® 20022 Message Format Goes Live for Fedwire® on July 14, 2025
By FRB Services | June 2025

After years of preparation in collaboration with the financial industry, the Federal Reserve Financial Services (FRFS) has officially confirmed the implementation of the ISO® 20022 message format for the Fedwire® Funds Service on July 14, 2025.

Fedwire Funds Service Moves Forward With ISO 20022

FRFS has announced that the long-planned migration to ISO 20022 will proceed on schedule. The Fedwire Funds Service software and production infrastructure will remain unchanged, ensuring a seamless transition for institutions already onboarded for compliance.

The message format shift marks a major step toward modernizing U.S. payment systems and aligning with global standards in high-value funds transfer.

“We are confirming that FRFS will move forward with implementing the new ISO 20022 message format on July 14 as planned.”

Testing Continues Through July 11

FRFS urges all participating institutions and service vendors to continue internal testing and validation efforts through July 11, just prior to go-live.

Questions or concerns should be directed to:

• 📧 Fedwire.Funds.Format@ny.frb.org

• 📞 Your FRFS relationship manager or the Support Center

“We appreciate the work, time, and resources you have put into preparing for the new ISO 20022 standard.”

A Key Milestone in U.S. Payment Infrastructure Modernization

The ISO 20022 rollout for Fedwire Funds is part of a broader global migration to richer, structured, and standardized messaging formats, enabling enhanced data handling, interoperability, and automation across banking systems.

This move places the U.S. in line with international payment modernization efforts, joining regions such as Europe and Asia that have already embraced ISO 20022 in real-time gross settlement systems.

Senate Banking Chair Targets September Deadline for Crypto Market Structure Bill
By Cointelegraph | June 2025

Following the successful Senate passage of the GENIUS stablecoin bill, U.S. lawmakers are setting their sights on broader digital asset market structure legislation—with a new timeline in view.

Sen. Tim Scott Aims for Sept. 30 Deadline

U.S. Senator Tim Scott, Chair of the Senate Banking Committee, announced Thursday that the chamber is working toward passing a digital asset market structure bill by September 30.

“For the market to function completely,” said Scott, “Congress needs to move forward with legislation for both market structure and stablecoins.”

The remarks came during a fireside chat with Senator Cynthia Lummis and White House crypto adviser Bo Hines, as part of a broader effort to advance regulatory clarity in the rapidly evolving digital asset sector.

Lummis offered strong support for Scott’s timeline, stating:

“You’re the chairman, and we will do as you wish. We will make sure that we’re ready to do that.”

GENIUS Act and Market Structure Bills on Parallel Tracks

The push for market structure legislation follows momentum from the GENIUS Act—the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act—which recently passed the Senate and awaits consideration in the House of Representatives.

▪️ Sen. Lummis warned she would be “extremely disappointed” if both bills aren’t passed before 2026.
▪️ No floor votes have been scheduled yet in either chamber for market structure legislation.

At the Bitcoin Policy Summit earlier this week, Lummis reiterated the importance of getting both pieces of legislation passed to maintain the U.S.'s competitive edge in digital finance.

White House May Push for Accelerated Timelines

Former President Donald Trump, who is seeking re-election, weighed in on the GENIUS Act on June 18, urging the House to “get it to [his] desk, ASAP.”

However, his August target for crypto legislation may conflict with the Senate’s September goal for market structure—raising questions about how the timeline may shift in coming weeks.

Senate Eyes CLARITY Act as a Framework

Lummis added that the Senate may model its legislation on the House’s proposed bill, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), which passed out of committee in June.

▪️ The Senate version is expected to be drafted before the August recess, with markup scheduled for September.
▪️ The goal: to define which digital assets fall under SEC or CFTC oversight, and to establish regulatory clarity for crypto companies operating in the U.S.

“We’re not just talking about modernization,” one staffer familiar with the bill remarked. “We’re talking about creating a framework that gives innovators, regulators, and investors clear rules of the road.”

Why It Matters:

As regulatory conversations escalate in Washington, a bipartisan, bicameral push toward crypto market structure reform could reshape the digital asset landscape. With the GENIUS Act already gaining traction, attention is now fixed on how soon—and how clearly—Congress can define the future of U.S. crypto regulation.

We're Smoked If US Doesn't Have It's Gold | Bill Holter

Liberty and Finance:  6-26-2025

Bill Holter warns that if the truth emerges that the U.S. has no gold, the entire global financial system could collapse, as it's built on the perceived security of U.S. Treasuries—once backed by gold.

 He argues that U.S. Mint lineage coinage, like Gold and Silver Eagles, may offer legal protection from future government confiscation, unlike bars or foreign coins.

Holter also highlights a rapid global shift away from the U.S. dollar and Treasuries, with BRICS+ nations accelerating moves toward gold-backed trade settlement.

 He stresses that owning physical gold and silver, especially junk silver for bartering, is crucial for preserving wealth during systemic breakdowns.

Finally, he urges newcomers to prepare for "The Great Taking," a potential legal seizure of assets, by understanding true ownership and holding wealth outside the traditional financial system

BRICS Summit Shaken as Xi Jinping and Putin Skip Key Brazil Meeting
By Watcher.Guru | June 2025

The upcoming BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro has plunged into uncertainty after it was confirmed that both Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend. Their absence—unprecedented in the bloc’s history—raises serious concerns about the leadership cohesion and future direction of the expanded alliance.

Putin’s No-Show: ICC Warrant Disrupts Attendance

Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the July 6–7 summit due to the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant issued against him in March 2023. The warrant, tied to allegations of war crimes involving the deportation of Ukrainian children, legally obliges Brazil, an ICC member, to detain him if he enters the country.

“This is related to certain difficulties in the context of the ICC’s demands,” said Russian foreign policy aide Yuriy Ushakov. “The Brazilian government was unable to take a clear position that would allow our president to participate.”

Putin will instead join virtually, while Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov leads Russia’s in-person delegation. This continues Putin’s avoidance of ICC member states—he also skipped the G20 in Brazil last year.

Xi Jinping Breaks Decade-Long Attendance Streak

In a historic first, Xi Jinping will not attend the BRICS summit—a major shift for the Chinese leader who has been present at every summit since assuming power. Instead, Premier Li Qiang will represent China, as he did during the 2023 G20 summit in India.

Officially, Beijing cites a scheduling conflict, but reports suggest deeper reasons:

▪️ Diplomatic sources hint at displeasure over Brazil’s warm reception of Indian PM Narendra Modi, potentially seen as undermining Xi’s role.
▪️ Xi previously met with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva twice in 2024, raising expectations of a reciprocal visit.

Brazil Left Scrambling Amid Leadership Crisis

Brazilian officials have expressed clear disappointment as the summit host country, calling this a “BRICS leadership crisis.” President Lula’s May trip to Beijing was intended as a goodwill gesture to strengthen ties.

Despite Xi’s absence, China’s Foreign Ministry voiced support for the summit:

“In a volatile and turbulent world, BRICS nations maintain their strategic resolve and work together for global peace, stability, and development,” said ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun.

Yet behind the diplomacy, the absence of both Putin and Xi has created an unmistakable vacuum at the top of the BRICS bloc.

Unity in Question as BRICS Expands

With the recent expansion of BRICS to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE, the bloc faces new complexity in aligning its geopolitical interests. But the absence of its two most prominent leaders—one for legal reasons, the other for diplomatic concerns—underscores the fragility of BRICS’ unity.

The dual absence “exposes the limits of international cooperation under pressure from legal and geopolitical constraints,” said one analyst.
“It weakens the bloc’s ability to present a united front in contrast to Western institutions.”

What Lies Ahead?

Though the summit will proceed, led by Li Qiang and Sergey Lavrov, the leadership void casts a long shadow. The BRICS initiative—long positioned as an alternative to U.S.-dominated global systems—now faces deeper questions:

▪️ Can the bloc maintain coherence with rising internal tensions?
▪️ Will future summits restore full leadership participation?
▪️ And how will these developments impact BRICS’ long-term role in shaping a multipolar global order?

For now, the Rio summit may proceed, but the tone is cautious, not triumphant.

Liberty and Finance: Andy Schectman:  6-25-2025

In a recent exclusive interview with Liberty and Finance, Andy Schectman provided a detailed breakdown of the escalating tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States.

The ongoing conflict has significant implications for global stability and the precious metals markets. As the situation continues to unfold, it is essential to understand the potential consequences of these rising tensions.

The Middle East has long been a hotbed of geopolitical activity, with various nations vying for power and influence. The current tensions between Iran, Israel, and the US are rooted in a complex web of historical, cultural, and economic interests.

 Iran’s now-crippled nuclear program, Israel’s concerns about national security, and the US’s role as a global superpower have all contributed to the escalating conflict.

The rising tensions between these nations pose a significant threat to global stability. A potential conflict could have far-reaching consequences, including disruptions to global trade, increased terrorism, and a heightened risk of cyberattacks. The impact on the global economy could be severe, with potential losses in the trillions of dollars.

In times of geopolitical uncertainty, investors often turn to precious metals as a safe haven. Gold, silver, and other precious metals have historically performed well during periods of conflict and economic instability.

As the situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate, investors may increasingly seek out these assets as a hedge against potential losses.

Andy Schectman’s interview with Liberty and Finance provides valuable insights into the current situation and its potential implications for the precious metals markets. With his expertise in the field, Schectman offers a nuanced understanding of the complex factors at play and the potential consequences of the rising tensions.

For a deeper understanding of the geopolitical chaos involving Iran, Israel, and the US, and its potential impact on global stability and precious metals markets, watch the full video interview with Andy Schectman on Liberty and Finance.

The interview provides a comprehensive analysis of the situation and offers valuable insights for investors and individuals concerned about the potential consequences of the escalating conflict.

In conclusion, the rising tensions between Iran, Israel, and the US have significant implications for global stability and the precious metals markets. As the situation continues to unfold, it is essential to stay informed and adapt to the changing landscape.

By watching the full interview with Andy Schectman and staying up-to-date on the latest developments, individuals can better navigate the complex and rapidly evolving geopolitical environment.

BRICS Inspires 15 African Nations to Adopt Homegrown Payment System
By Watcher.Guru | June 2025

Africa is now taking a decisive step toward de-dollarization, inspired by the BRICS bloc. A group of 15 African countries has turned to the Pan-African Payments and Settlements System (PAPSS)—a homegrown payment network that allows trade settlements in local currencies, bypassing the US dollar entirely.

Key Highlights:

▪️ 15 African nations, including Kenya, Malawi, Tunisia, and Zambia, are using PAPSS to settle trade.
▪️ 150+ commercial banks are now connected to PAPSS.
▪️ The system can cut foreign exchange costs from 10–30% down to just 1%.
▪️ PAPSS leverages regional currencies like the Nigerian naira, Ghanaian cedi, and South African rand.
▪️ Estimated $5 billion in savings in FX costs if scaled across Africa.

PAPSS: Africa’s Answer to the US Dollar

PAPSS—created to enable real-time gross settlement of cross-border transactions—is becoming the financial backbone of intra-African trade. It reduces reliance on USD, which traditionally dominated African trade deals due to lack of direct currency convertibility.

With BRICS as its model, PAPSS aims to shift African economies toward currency sovereignty. It eliminates the need for costly third-party currencies and reinvests saved foreign exchange into local development.

“A trade worth $200 million in USD could cost up to 30% in FX fees. PAPSS drops that to just 1%.”

A Growing Threat to USD Dominance

The Pan-African system mirrors the BRICS vision: creating a multipolar financial world with decentralized currency power. In fact, BRICS itself is exploring a similar platform, aligning closely with PAPSS to reduce reliance on Western-led financial systems.

As more countries across Africa adopt PAPSS, the pressure on the U.S. dollar’s international dominance will only increase. Combined with BRICS initiatives, the global financial structure is pivoting toward regional cooperation and currency independence.

The Big Picture:

Africa’s use of PAPSS is a quiet revolution that could become one of the most significant economic stories of the decade. By bypassing the dollar, reducing transaction costs, and increasing autonomy, Africa is joining a global movement toward local currency empowerment—one spearheaded by BRICS and now embraced continent-wide.

The future of trade may not revolve around the dollar, but around locally-led, digitally connected networks like PAPSS.

Why Nations Are Moving Gold Out of the U.S. and Back Home

Why Nations Are Moving Gold Out of the U.S. and Back Home | Peter Boehringer

Kitco News:   6-26-2025

Central banks around the world are accelerating a quiet but powerful shift — pulling their gold reserves out of U.S. and foreign custody.

 Germany led this move over a decade ago, repatriating 674 tonnes of gold from the Federal Reserve and Banque de France. Now others are following. Why?

U.S. Regulator Orders Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac to Consider Crypto in Mortgage Risk Assessments
By Cointelegraph | June 2025

In a major development for crypto adoption in real estate, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to begin evaluating cryptocurrency as an asset class in their single-family mortgage loan risk assessments.

Crypto Assets May Soon Count Toward Mortgage Applications

FHFA Director William J. Pulte issued the directive in a formal letter this week, stating the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) must:

“Prepare a proposal for consideration of cryptocurrency as an asset for reserves in their respective single-family mortgage loan risk assessments, without conversion of said cryptocurrency to U.S. dollars.”

This marks the first time U.S. housing authorities have opened the door to counting crypto holdings as qualifying assets for mortgage applications, a move that could reshape risk models and eligibility standards for millions of Americans.

Eligibility Limited to Regulated Crypto Holdings

The guidance includes a critical restriction:
Only cryptocurrencies that are:

▪️ Evidenced and stored on U.S.-regulated centralized exchanges
▪️ Subject to all applicable federal laws and compliance standards

will be considered under the new proposal.

This standard excludes unhosted wallets and decentralized platforms, underscoring regulators’ desire for traceability and compliance within the financial system.

Aligns With Trump Administration’s Pro-Crypto Agenda

Director Pulte noted that the shift toward crypto inclusion follows “significant studying” by the agency and aligns with Donald Trump’s stated goal of making the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.”

The FHFA has been overseeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since both were placed into conservatorship following the 2008 financial crisis. These institutions have since played a central role in stabilizing the mortgage market by buying loans from private lenders, which frees up capital for more lending.

Part of a Broader Crypto Integration Trend

This development is just the latest sign of crypto gaining traction in traditional finance. Recent headlines include:

▪️ JPMorgan’s plans to let select wealth clients use Bitcoin ETFs as collateral
▪️ Circle’s USDC stablecoin being approved as eligible collateral for futures trading starting next year
▪️ Crypto-backed mortgages becoming more common, with firms like Ledn enabling clients to leverage Bitcoin and Ether to purchase real estate without liquidating holdings

“Many Bitcoin holders have already used their digital assets as collateral to purchase property,” said Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, co-founder of Ledn.

Bottom Line:

The FHFA’s crypto guidance for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac marks a pivotal turning point. If implemented, it could allow crypto-savvy borrowers to leverage their digital assets directly for homeownership, without having to convert to cash—a key win for holders, and another step toward mainstream crypto integration.

Russia Declares Digital Ruble Mandatory for Major Banks and Retailers
By The Coin Tribune | June 2025

Russia is no longer testing its central bank digital currency (CBDC)—it is mandating it. In a sweeping shift, Moscow has ordered that the digital ruble become a compulsory component of its financial and commercial infrastructure, marking a new era of centralized monetary control and programmable currency.

Key Directives:

▪️ By September 1, 2026, all major Russian banks and retailers generating over 120 million rubles (~$1.9 million USD) must support digital ruble payments.
▪️ Full implementation by 2028, eventually reaching nearly all businesses.
▪️ Goal: Strengthen state control over domestic financial flows and reduce reliance on foreign payment systems.

From Pilot to Policy: A Tectonic Monetary Shift

What began as a controlled experiment is now a national directive. The Bank of Russia has released a structured rollout plan:

• 2026: Largest banks and high-revenue retailers begin integration.

• 2027: Obligations expand to all licensed banks and businesses with revenue above 30 million rubles.

• 2028: Mandatory use reaches nearly the entire commercial sector, excluding only very small enterprises.

Russia’s plan to shift its entire economic infrastructure toward the digital ruble reflects not just a technical evolution, but a political statement. The digital currency is not merely a payment tool—it’s a state-controlled, programmable financial system that could track, restrict, or block transactions in real time.

“The obligation is clear, calibrated, progressive, and relentless.”

A Tool of Power—Not Just Progress

This move is as ideological as it is economic. In the face of Western sanctions, Moscow sees the digital ruble as a pathway to financial sovereignty and geopolitical insulation. But critics warn it comes at a steep cost:

▪️ Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, the digital ruble is traceable, programmable, and blockable.
▪️ It offers the state unprecedented control over private financial behavior.
▪️ Universal QR codes issued by Russia’s National Payment Card System will serve as the primary interface for consumers and merchants.

Though officials cite efficiency and modernization, the real power lies in surveillance and regulation—a far cry from the decentralization ethos of blockchain technology.

Delayed Launch, Strategic Calculations

Originally scheduled for July 2025, the launch has been postponed to mid-2026, not only due to technical adjustments but to manage institutional resistance and political friction. The central bank is walking a fine line between ensuring adoption and avoiding systemic disruption.

Bottom Line:

Russia is embarking on one of the world’s most ambitious national CBDC rollouts—not by suggestion, but by decree. This isn't just about embracing digital currency; it's about building a monetary firewall, one that empowers the state and potentially restricts individual freedom.

As the digital ruble becomes mandatory, Russia is redefining the role of money in society—and raising questions globally about the future of financial autonomy in an era of programmable currency.

De-dollarization has been Quietly Rolling

De-dollarization has been Quietly Rolling

Gold Telegraph:   6-24-2025

BREAKING NEWS: ONE OF THE COPPER MARKET’S BIGGEST-EVER SQUEEZES IS UNFOLDING ON THE LONDON METAL EXCHANGE

The glue of the economy. The biggest story you probably have not heard of.

“Spot copper traded at a $345-a-ton premium to three-month futures on Monday…”

The United States now faces the prospect of foreign nations repatriating $245 billion worth of gold. Countries around the world are sending America a big message. Remember this if you see negative press on gold in the main stream media.

BREAKING NEWS: THE CUSTODIANS OF TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF GLOBAL CENTRAL BANK RESERVES ARE EYEING A MOVE AWAY FROM THE GREENBACK INTO GOLD ACCORDING TO THE OMFIF

The trend continues…

“Gold seen as biggest winner from dollar diversification…”

Just wow. @judyshel

The interest payments on US debt = 3% of the United States GDP.

Judy Shelton:  Powell asked if he is worried about high cost of financing U.S. national debt? No comment, he pleads, because that would be commenting on a fiscal matter.

If the head of the Federal Reserve can’t grasp how monetary policy helps enable the national debt in America… You have a problem.

Germany and Italy hold the world’s second and third-largest gold reserves, right behind the United States, and they are making moves to repatriate it. Meanwhile, we all know China owns more than they disclose. The U.S? They keep promising to audit Fort Knox. The stage is set.

As @LukeGromen points out, why are central banks suddenly so vocal about piling into gold and easing away from the dollar? The de-dollarization trend has been quietly rolling for years, with gold at its heart. It was initially mocked because physical gold is the one thing the West can’t print or sanction. That represents a threat to the current system.

1971: The U.S. ditched gold tied directly to the system because it couldn’t cover its promises.

2025: The promises are bigger, and the creditors are watching.

Gold Telegraph:  President Nixon “temporarily” suspended the gold standard in 1971 because the U.S. couldn’t cover foreign dollar claims. Today, The U.S. holds just over $800 billion in gold, which has NOT been audited, but owes over $7 trillion to foreign creditors. Just think about this for a second.

BREAKING NEWS: CHINESE COPPER SMELTERS RAMP UP EXPORTS TO ESCAPE SQUEEZE ON THE LONDON METAL EXCHANGE.

Things are getting intense… The glue of the economy.

“At least 30,000 tons of copper from smelters including Jiangxi Copper and Tongling Nonferrous Metals Group are poised to be delivered to LME warehouses…”

BIS: Stablecoins Fail as Money, Call for Strict Limits on Their Role
By Cointelegraph | June 2025

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has issued a sharp critique of stablecoins, asserting they fail to meet key monetary standards and pose risks to financial integrity and sovereignty.

According to the newly released BIS Annual Economic Report 2025, stablecoins fall short of three essential criteria that define money in a modern financial system: “singleness,” “elasticity,” and “integrity.”

“Stablecoins perform poorly when assessed against the three tests for serving as the mainstay of the monetary system,” the BIS wrote. Rather than functioning as true money, stablecoins are described as “digital bearer instruments” that more closely resemble financial assets.

Three Failures: Singleness, Elasticity, and Integrity

• Singleness: Central bank-issued money is accepted at par and universally trusted. In contrast, stablecoins are issued by private entities and often trade at fluctuating rates, undermining monetary uniformity.

• Elasticity: Traditional banking systems allow for liquidity expansion as needed. By contrast, the BIS noted, stablecoins require full upfront payment, making them a “strict cash-in-advance setup” ill-suited for absorbing market shocks or handling high-volume payments.

• Integrity: The report raised the most serious concerns about financial crime.
Stablecoins, especially those used with unhosted wallets on public blockchains, were flagged as vulnerable to money laundering, sanctions evasion, and terrorist financing.

“Stablecoins have significant shortcomings when it comes to promoting the integrity of the monetary system,” the BIS warned.

Stablecoins Should Play a Limited Role

Despite recognizing the appeal of stablecoins—particularly for cross-border transactions and lower fees—the BIS advised that their role in the financial system be strictly limited and tightly regulated.

“Society can re-learn the historical lessons about the limitations of unsound money,” the report cautioned.
“Bold action by central banks and other public authorities can push the financial system along the right path.”

Market Impact and Crypto Reactions

Following the BIS report, Circle (CRCL)—issuer of USDC—saw its stock drop over 15%, closing at $222 on Tuesday after hitting a record high of $299 the day before.

The crypto community responded critically.

Jim Walker, chief economist at Aletheia Capital, remarked:

“The BIS is hysterical in its opposition to crypto. The first criterion—being backed by a central bank—should make it a laughing stock given the historical failures of those institutions.”

Tokenization Praised

Not all digital finance was dismissed. The BIS praised tokenization as a “transformative innovation”, calling it a promising path for next-generation monetary infrastructure.

Rather than replacing the financial system, tokenization was described as building upon it—a nuanced but important distinction from the harsh critique of stablecoins.

GENIUS Act May Be Tied to CLARITY Bill in the U.S. House: A Turning Point for Crypto Regulation
By Coinpedia | June 2025

The U.S. House of Representatives is considering merging two landmark crypto bills—the recently passed GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act—into a single legislative package that could reshape digital asset regulation across the United States.

“Together, these two bills could finally bring the structure and national guidelines the crypto industry has long demanded.”

What’s Happening?

▪️ The GENIUS Act (Government-Enacted National Infrastructure for Uniformity in Stablecoins) passed the Senate on June 17 with a 51–23 vote—marking the first major crypto bill to clear the chamber.

▪️ In the House, Republican Majority Whip Tom Emmer is now leading efforts to tie the GENIUS Act to the CLARITY Act (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025), which has already cleared the House Financial Services Committee and awaits a full vote.

Emmer believes passing both bills together is the only way to bring “a full and unified framework” to the U.S. crypto ecosystem.Why the CLARITY Act Matters

The CLARITY Act would clearly define how digital assets are categorized—such as securities vs. commodities—and outline federal rules for usage, trading, and issuance of crypto tokens across all 50 states.

Currently, crypto firms face a patchwork of conflicting state regulations, slowing innovation and increasing compliance costs. By creating one national rulebook, the combined legislation would unlock a simpler, safer environment for businesses and consumers alike.

Trump’s Push for Quick Passage

Former President Donald Trump has publicly urged the House to pass the GENIUS Act as-is, without adding the CLARITY Act. His supporters argue that swift action is needed to give stablecoin issuers regulatory clarity.

But critics, including Democratic lawmakers, see political risks. Trump has ties to World Liberty Financial, a stablecoin project, and some allege he stands to benefit personally if the law passes in its current form.

Political Pushback: The COIN Act

In response, Senator Adam Schiff introduced the COIN Act (Curbing Officials’ Income and Nondisclosure) on June 23, aiming to prevent presidents, vice presidents, and senior officials from profiting through crypto while in office or shortly after.

Schiff’s proposal adds another layer of complexity—and raises questions about whether crypto regulation can proceed without addressing potential political conflicts of interest.

What Most People Don’t Know

If passed, the merged bills could eliminate the need for crypto startups to navigate 50 different legal systems, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for innovation in the U.S.

For users, this could mean wider access to digital assets, fewer transaction barriers, and greater consumer protections—all under one consistent national framework.

Bottom Line:
The merging of the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts represents a critical moment for crypto legislation in the U.S. While support is growing for comprehensive regulation, political tensions and personal interests could complicate the path forward.
