Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

MARK UYEDA NAMED ACTING SEC CHAIR AMONG TRUMP APPOINTMENTS

Members of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission also announced on Jan. 20 that Caroline Pham would serve as acting chair, filling two crucial regulatory roles

US Securities and Exchange Commission member Mark Uyeda will be acting chair of the financial regulator as of Jan. 20 following an announcement from the Trump administration.

In a Jan. 20 notice from the White House, President Donald Trump said Uyeda would replace outgoing SEC Chair Gary Gensler in an acting capacity until the US Senate could confirm one of his nominees. Uyeda, a Republican, has served at the SEC since 2022 after being nominated by former US President Joe Biden.

Before taking office, Trump announced on social media that he planned to nominate former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins to replace Gensler.

Atkins’ name appeared on a list of sub-cabinet appointments Trump said he had nominated to the Senate. It’s unclear when the chamber could consider his nomination as an SEC member.

Meanwhile, members of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced on Jan. 20 that Commissioner Caroline Pham would serve as acting chair after Rostin Behnam stepped down.

The heads of the two financial regulators will be in a position to significantly influence policy related to digital assets.

As an SEC member, Uyeda criticized the commission’s approach to digital assets under Gensler, saying it “neither facilitates capital formation nor protects investors.” Under the former chair, the SEC filed several enforcement actions against US-based crypto firms, including Ripple Labs, Coinbase, Terraform Labs and Binance.

New administration, new approach to crypto?

It’s unclear what the status of these lawsuits will be under the Trump administration or Acting Chair Uyeda. The SEC will reportedly consider freezing all enforcement cases that don’t involve allegations of fraud.

Since taking the oath of office at 12:00 pm ET, Trump has not mentioned digital assets or blockchain on his first official day as US president. He had also pledged to commute the sentence of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht.

Reports suggested Trump was planning on signing an executive order potentially related to crypto, but the White House had not announced anything at the time of publication. Neither digital assets nor blockchain appeared on the administration’s list of policy priorities as they were first published on Jan. 20.

DONALD TRUMP APPOINTS CAROLINE PHAM AS ACTING CFTC CHAIR

The CFTC commissioner has previously called for regulating digital assets in her role with the financial regulator, which could change under Donald Trump.

In one of his first official acts after being sworn in as US president, Donald Trump will name Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) member Caroline Pham as the acting chair of the financial regulator.

In an announcement shared with Cointelegraph on Jan. 20, a representative of Commissioner Pham said she would replace former CFTC Chair Rostin Behnam temporarily until Trump could nominate a permanent head of the regulator whom the Senate could confirm.

She has been serving as a CFTC commissioner since April 2022 after being nominated by former US President Joe Biden.

“I’m humbled to lead the CFTC as Acting Chairman,” said Pham. “It is an honor to be entrusted to serve the American people during this pivotal time.”

Behnam announced in January that he planned to step down on the day of Trump’s inauguration. Though any new CFTC commissioner or chair would need to be confirmed by a majority of lawmakers in the US Senate after hearings, Trump has the authority to appoint temporary replacements under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.

As a CFTC commissioner, Pham has called on the government to address crypto regulation and proposed initiatives to protect investors.

It’s unclear what roles the CFTC and Securities and Exchange Commission will have in regulating crypto under the Trump administration, with many US lawmakers suggesting they plan to pass legislation establishing a market framework.

Trump took the oath of office as US president on Jan. 20 but notably did not mention digital assets or blockchain technology in his acceptance speech. In one of his last acts as a private citizen before assuming office, he and his wife, Melania, announced the launch of memecoins, which critics claim allow anyone to funnel money indirectly into the first family’s pockets.

US crypto regulation under Donald Trump

The appointment of Pham is one of many actions potentially affecting the crypto industry Trump is expected to take on his first day in office. The US president said he intended to nominate former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins to replace Gary Gensler as chair of the financial regulator — Gensler officially stepped down on Jan. 20.

In May 2024, Trump promised to commute the sentence of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, and reports have suggested he plans to sign at least one executive order related to crypto or blockchain.

The White House is expected to announce what executive orders Trump will sign on Jan. 20, but reports suggested the number would be “close to 100.”

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Monday Afternoon 1-20-25

The Central Bank Calls For Caution In Reporting News And Clarifies The Outlets’ Operating Mechanisms 
 
January 18, 2025  The Central Bank of Iraq called for caution in transmitting and circulating news indicating the closure of exchange outlets, and  confirms that it has not issued any decision, directive, or statement regarding closing the outlets or converting them to exchange companies.

The recently issued Central Bank statement states:
 
Expanding the spread of cash delivery outlets through all available channels, including ATM machines and POC cash payment machines, as well as licensed exchange companies, electronic payment company outlets, and POS electronic payment machines spread throughout Iraq.
 
This bank emphasizes transferring news from its official sources, which are published on its official website and verified social media pages.
 
This was confirmed in his circulars issued to all parties in the Iraqi financial and banking sector, which included directing banks and non-banking financial institutions to expand their financial services in areas that lack the aforementioned services. 
Central Bank of Iraq  Media office   January 18, 2025    https://cbi.iq/news/view/2762 

Expectations Of An Increase In Electronic Payments

Second and third 01/19/2025  Baghdad: Rula Wathiq  Iraq has achieved 10 trillion dinars in total circulation through electronic payment from the government sector only so far, which will be part of the evaluation of the ministries working on it.
 
The head of the Osool Foundation for Economic Development and Sustainable Development, Engineer Khaled Al-Jabri, representative of the special committee for developing and evaluating electronic payment operations associated with the Council of Ministers, told Al-Sabah:
 
“The steps for electronic payment are progressing correctly, as Iraq has reached 10 trillion dinars from the government sector only. 

This number is usually a jump from what was achieved during this stage, and  it is expected that these amounts will increase by 30-40% at the beginning of next year.” He stated that the issue of
 
electronic collection is not without challenges, whether with the platforms on which it operates or the devices through which water and electricity services are paid, indicating that  there are steps to solve these problems as quickly as possible.

Al-Jabri confirmed that the  government has procedures to monitor electronic payment operations wherever they exist, and that it will be part of the evaluation of ministries that are working on the digital transformation process and their use of technical and technological tools.

He added that the electronic payment process cannot proceed without cooperation between the government and private sectors and the citizen, which is the focus of this process as a whole, noting that Iraq was able to activate these services compared to countries that took 6-7 years to activate them as a result of quick and serious measures in this field.      https://alsabaah.iq/108748-.html  

Advisor To The Prime Minister: Electronic Customs Declaration Prevents Smuggling And Reduces Corruption And Bribery

Economy    Yesterday, 11:13  Baghdad - WAA - Amna Al-Salami  Advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed today, Sunday, that the
 
electronic customs declaration program 
     prevents smuggling and 
     reduces corruption and bribery, and while he explained that it 
     facilitates accurate and rapid control and review, he indicated that it 
     reduces costs for importers.  Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA):
 
"The program to develop the electronic customs declaration and its entry into force is an important and positive step towards improving customs performance in particular and enhancing the efficiency of the Iraqi economy in general."  He added that 
 
"the adoption of this electronic program for customs declaration represents an important part of the reform efforts branching from the government program in the field of e-governance and financial and economic reform aimed at modernizing administrative and financial systems, combating corruption, and raising the efficiency of Iraq's foreign trade," noting that
 
"this electronic system provides two important aspects of customs life in the development of customs policy applications in Iraq as one of the important arms of financial policy in our country:
 
     First, reducing human intervention in customs clearance operations, which reduces the opportunities for corruption and bribery."  He continued:
 
     "The second provides clear tracking of transactions, which facilitates effective, accurate and rapid customs control and review," indicating that "the
 
electronic customs declaration program will undoubtedly
 
     reduce the time required to complete customs declarations, in a way that
     supports the movement of trade and
     reduces the costs that fall on traders and importers, and
 
this change in the pattern of customs declarations encourages companies to import and export goods with ease and high speed."  He explained, "As for customs revenues, the program will contribute to
 
     providing accurate collection of customs duties in a way that prevents customs evasion, as taxes are a form of important public revenues that the government program seeks to raise within non-oil revenues, in addition to   reducing losses resulting from corruption or negligence in collecting related customs duties and taxes, as was previously followed and through manual methods and human intervention."

He pointed out that  "it gives the business environment in the national economy an advanced signal to investors and traders, and  its accurate operations should be positively reflected in the reports of international multilateral organizations within the framework of the progress of the business environment in our  country including the World Bank's periodic reports in this regard."  https://www.ina.iq/226125--.html

UN Supports Iraq In Recovering Stolen Assets And Combating International Corruption  Iraq

The United Nations has affirmed its full support for Iraq in its efforts to recover its stolen assets located in corruption havens abroad, in addition to tracking suspicious banking transactions.

The Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme, Auke Lootsma, stated that the programme supports Iraqi investigative journalists to enhance cooperation with international federations in uncovering stolen assets, enabling investigators to file cases and follow up on seizure and confiscation procedures.

Lootsma added that the programme is working to expand the scope of trial monitoring to include civil procedures for the recovery of stolen assets. He pointed out that the focus is not limited to strengthening compensation claims from public institutions, but rather extends to include the recovery of assets through civil courts.

He stressed that the success of the fight against corruption requires effective international cooperation to track and freeze illicit assets, limit suspicious financial flows, and hand over perpetrators. He called for activating bilateral agreements between Iraq and other countries, or using the mechanisms available under the United Nations Convention against Corruption.

Lootsma also explained that UNDP supports Iraq in improving the exchange of information on suspicious banking transactions, submitting mutual legal assistance requests to protect assets during investigations, and recovering them upon final judgments. He pointed out that the Iraqi government’s programme is participating in expanding its regional partnerships to combat corruption and enhance joint efforts.   https://www.radionawa.com/all-detail.aspx?jimare=41006

Exchange Rates Recorded 151,750 Dinars Per 100 Dollars In Baghdad

economy | 11:10 - 01/20/2025  Mawazine News – Baghdad  The exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar witnessed a rise in the currency markets in the capital, Baghdad.

The dollar prices rose with the opening of the Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya stock exchanges in Baghdad, recording 150,700 dinars for every 100 dollars, compared to what it recorded yesterday morning, Sunday, at 150,650 dinars for every 100 dollars.

The selling prices in exchange shops in the local markets in Baghdad reached 151,750 dinars, while the purchase price reached 149,750 dinars for every 100 dollars. https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=258809

Oil Prices Jump Above $81 A Barrel

economy | 08:26 - 01/20/2025  Mawazine News – Baghdad  Oil prices recovered in early trading on Monday, as supply concerns persisted after Washington imposed two rounds of sanctions in the past two weeks on Russia's energy sector over the war in Ukraine.

Market Moves By 0042 GMT, Brent crude futures were up 34 cents, or 0.4 percent, at $81.13 a barrel. They settled down 0.62 percent in the previous session. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures, which expire on Tuesday, were up 59 cents, or 0.8 percent, after settling down 1.02 percent on Friday.

The most active contracts for April rose 36 cents to $77.75 a barrel, according to Reuters data.

Both crudes gained more than 1 percent last week, their fourth straight week of gains, after the outgoing administration of US President Joe Biden imposed sanctions on more than 100 oil tankers and two Russian oil producers.

This led to a rush by major buyers, China and India, to secure immediate oil cargoes and a global rush to supply ships with oil, with Russian and Iranian oil traders looking for unsanctioned tankers to carry their cargoes.

Analyst Tim Evans said in Evans on Energy that the new sanctions are expected to tighten supplies, at least in the short term, according to Reuters.

“The rise in tanker rates for unsanctioned vessels and the widening divergence in crude oil prices are among the notable cascading effects, which have heightened supply concerns,” he added. But easing tensions in the Middle East limited oil price gains. Israel and Hamas exchanged hostages and prisoners on Sunday in the same day The first ceasefire after a 15-month war.

Gold Falls As Tensions Ease, Markets Focus On Trump

Economy  | 01/20/2025 Mawazine News – Baghdad Gold prices suffered losses in early trading on Monday as tensions in the Middle East eased, dampening demand for safe-haven assets.

As investors await the inauguration of US President Donald Trump and clarity on the policies of the next administration. Price update Spot gold fell 0.4 percent to $2,690.81 per ounce, by 0140 GMT. US gold futures fell 0.5 percent to $2,734.90 an ounce, according to Reuters data.

Hamas released three Israeli hostages, while Israel freed 90 Palestinian prisoners on Sunday, the first day of a ceasefire that followed a 15-month war that devastated the Gaza Strip and ignited the Middle East.

Market players are awaiting Trump’s inauguration later on Monday, whose tariff policies are expected to stoke inflation, ignite trade wars and potentially increase the appeal of safe-haven assets. The future path of US interest will depend on how seriously the next administration implements Trump’s policy pledges.

According to a narrow majority of economists polled by Reuters, the Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates unchanged at its January 29 meeting and resume cutting them in March.

Among other precious metals, spot silver fell 0.7 percent to $30.13 an ounce. Palladium fell 0.3 percent to $944.25 an ounce. Platinum fell 0.2 percent to $940.05 an ounce.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=258803

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Monday Afternoon 1-20-25

Dinar Recaps Note: Sorry, this is the same as our last Seeds of Wisdom post. The new post is up now ( link ).

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

INCOMING PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOWS SUPPORT FOR INNOVATION, BUT MAKES NO MENTION OF CRYPTO DURING INAUGURATION SPEECH

During his campaign, Trump drummed up support from top executives, among others, in the crypto industry looking for a change in the U.S. regulatory environment.

Trump is also set to issue crypto-related executive orders.

In his return to Washington D.C. on Monday, Donald Trump touted his support for innovation, though did not specifically mention crypto during his inauguration speech on Monday.

“There’s no nation like our nation,” Trump said. “Americans are explorers, builders, innovators, entrepreneurs and pioneers. The spirit of the frontier is written into our hearts."

However, Trump did not mention crypto in a document titled "President Trump's America First Priorities" in an email sent out by the office of the press secretary. Punchbowl News earlier released the document.

During his campaign, Trump drummed up support from top executives, among others, in the crypto industry looking for a change in the U.S. regulatory environment.

Trump made several promises to the sector, including promising to commute Ross Ulbrucht's sentence, who is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for his role in creating and operating the dark web marketplace Silk Road, tied to bitcoin's early history.  

Trump also vowed to stop "Joe Biden's crusade to crush crypto" by ensuring the future of crypto will not be "driven overseas," supporting the right to self-custody and preventing the development of a central bank digital currency. Some Republican lawmakers have been staunchly opposed to a CBDC and say a CBDC could open the door to government surveillance of peoples' transactions.

Trump is reportedly poised to issue executive orders on his first day that could include creating a crypto council and ensuring that firms have access to banks, according to Reuters.

The Washington Post reported last week that Trump could also issue executive orders that encompass repealing the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's controversial crypto accounting guidance, SAB 121.

A potential crypto council could have anywhere between 10 to 100 members. Those members will presumably be crypto executives, but those decisions will be up to the firms to pick who will represent them in the council, said Ron Hammond, senior director of government relations at the Blockchain Association, in an interview with The Block last week.

Trump also plans to issue an executive order to set cryptocurrency as a national policy priority, Bloomberg reported last week, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Days before his inauguration, Trump's team launched the TRUMP token on the Solana blockchain which reached a market cap of over $9 billion.

Trump has also previously thrown his support behind the debut of World Liberty Financial, a DeFi protocol that counts former that counts the President-elect as its "chief crypto advocate." That project was criticized by some crypto pundits who called it "a meme masquerading as a utility project."

OVER $200B WIPED FROM CRYPTO MARKETS AFTER TRUMP IGNORES CRYPTO IN CEREMONY SPEECH

The total crypto market cap dumped toward $3.6 trillion.

Donald Trump’s highly anticipated inauguration ceremony officially took place, and he is now the 47th US president.

Despite the numerous reports ahead of time about potentially including crypto in his speech, Trump failed to mention it even once, which triggered a massive crash for the entire market.

Just as the inauguration began, BTC’s price tumbled by over five grand, going from more than $107,000 to under $102,000 in minutes.

However, it managed to recover some ground and spiked to $105,000 during the speech. However, once that concluded and it became evident that Trump will not mention the digital asset industry at all, BTC and the rest of the market headed south immediately.

BTC’s nosedive took it south to $100,500 (for now). Many altcoins bled even more heavily, including Trump’s official meme coin. 

The recently launched asset is down by over 20% in the past hour alone and now struggles to remain above $40. Recall that it peaked above $70 earlier today but has faced a lot of competition and criticism following the launch of Melania Trump’s alternative.

Other massive losers include SPX, FARTCOIN, HBAR, WIF, LINK, AAVE, WLD, TIA, BONK, and more, as all of them have dropped by more than 6% in the last hour.

The total crypto market cap went from a daily high of over $3.850 trillion to $3.6 trillion during the crash.

The wrecked positions have shot up to nearly $200 million within that same timeframe. Almost 400,000 traders have been liquidated on a daily scale, according to data from CoinGlass.

US CBDC ‘IS DEAD’ UNDER TRUMP, BUT STABLECOINS COULD BE SET TO EXPLODE

President Donald Trump has promised to “never allow” a CBDC in the United States, but stablecoin adoption is well on its way.

Now that US President Donald Trump has taken his oath of office, the chances for a US central bank digital currency (CBDC) are all but finished.

Trump has been a vocal opponent of CBDCs, promising on the campaign trail in New Hampshire in 2024 that he would “never allow the creation of a central bank digital currency,” as he claimed it would give the government “absolute control over your money.”

Trump made the promise early on in the campaign, back in January 2024, but there’s little to suggest that the president has changed his mind. Top picks for Trump’s Cabinet and prominent members of the Republican-controlled Congress have also vocally opposed a CBDC.

However, US lawmakers are still focused on proliferating digital currencies. In the absence of a digital dollar and with significant bipartisan support, stablecoin adoption could see significant growth under the incoming administration.

CBDCs are dead; long live the stablecoin

“CBDC in the US is dead under Trump,” Geoff Kendrick, global head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered, told Cointelegraph. “Instead, they’re going down the private stablecoin route, and the Fed has no control over that.”

Indeed, stablecoin legislation is already making its way through the system. In the House of Representatives, Rep. Patrick McHenry introduced the Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act of 2023, while in the Senate, Wyoming Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis and New York Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand submitted the Lummis-Gillibrand Payment Stablecoin Act.

These bills would provide regulatory guardrails that the industry has been saying it needs in order to succeed.

Some have suggested the industry could see new stablecoin regulations soon, as it would be a quick win for representatives on both sides of the aisle, who will need to defend their seats again in 2026.

Kendrick said, “I think, under Trump, you’ll get passage in the next few months of a stablecoin bill that creates regulation. You’ll then probably get more TradFi players issuing stablecoins in the US [...] and you’ll also get more surety behind the two largest stablecoins, Tether and USDC.”

The pivot to private stablecoins can be explained by two important factors: the clear privacy concerns surrounding CBDCs and the fact that central banks are having a hard time convincing the public of their benefits.

CBDCs raise concerns about privacy and government oversight

Reuters and The Washington Post have reported that the Trump administration is planning mass dismissals of federal employees, paving the way for them to be replaced by appointees loyal to the administration.

Administration spokesperson Brian Hughes told Reuters, “The Trump Administration will have a place for people serving in government who are committed to defending the rights of the American people, putting America first, and ensuring the best use of working men and women’s tax dollars.”

This rhetoric fits into the wider Republican skepticism of government involvement in the financial industry and the desire to deregulate that industry broadly. It comes as no surprise then that CBDCs, which are already a subject of public privacy concerns, should be a target.

John Kiff, a digital currency expert and former senior financial sector expert at the International Monetary Fund, told Cointelegraph that users “want cash-like anonymity and privacy, but central banks are reluctant to offer that as they bend the knee to financial integrity laws and regulations” like Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism laws.

Kiff said, “Purported benefits are related to such things as increasing financial inclusion and reducing the costs to users and merchants of transactions.”

Trump himself suggested that, with a CBDC, the government “could take your money, and you wouldn’t even know it was gone.”

More News, Rumors and Opinions Monday PM 1-20-2025

DJ:  DID YOU KNOW?

The feasibility of a Global Currency Reset (GCR) largely depends on whether systemic imbalances can be resolved without causing widespread disruption.

 For a GCR to be effective, it would require a redistribution of wealth, (They aren’t printing a mass amount of new currencies), something inherently challenging in the current geopolitical and economic climate.

Wealth redistribution on a global scale will face resistance from powerful stakeholders who benefit from the status quo, including nations and financial institutions that dominate the existing system.

When you do a web search of the GCR economist dismiss it as a conspiracy theory. With the argument that it will not work or disrupt the current system globally. But their assessments are based on the current status quo .

Not looking at the prospect of a new financial system . If one were to just take the label of “GCR” off the explanation and look at the mechanisms currently manifesting, it’s the same thing as the GCR. They’re just not calling it that.

Mechanisms like central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), blockchain technology and decentralized finance (DeFi) and the integration of regional currencies, such as the African Continental Free Trade Area’s proposed monetary union or the strengthening of the BRICS nations’ economic alliances, mimic elements of a GCR.

Implementing these changes without causing economic shock-waves requires careful planning and international cooperation, a challenge given the competing interests of global powers. These incremental reforms, or adjustments to global institutions, are by definition the GCR; they’re just not calling it that.

Financial systems evolve incrementally, not through abrupt resets. Mechanisms like currency devaluations, debt restructuring, or monetary policy adjustments provide more measured and less disruptive ways to address global imbalances and have been practices commonly utilized by economies.

For a GCR to be feasible, it must run parallel with the existing system to ensure a seamless transition.Which if you look at it, has been going on for some time.

These dual systems have been operating with the traditional fiat system coexisting alongside new asset-backed or digital currencies. This phased approach mitigates shocks and allows markets, businesses, and individuals to adapt over time.

Historical precedents, such as the transition from gold to fiat currencies, demonstrate that parallel systems can ease the burden of systemic change.

Just because you don’t see the GCR flashing on a massive billboard doesn’t mean you should ignore the signs along the road.    DJ

Debt, Deficits, and The Road to a New Monetary Order

Mel Mattison: Debt, Deficits, and The Road to a New Monetary Order

Palisades gold Radio:  1-20-2025

Tom welcomes back Mel Mattison to discuss the economic implications of the new administration under Trump's second term.

 He expresses skepticism towards government-released data such as CPI numbers and raises concerns about rising inflation and interest rates due to massive deficit spending and debt refinancing.

Mel estimates approximately seven to eight trillion dollars will be issued this year for these purposes, with uncertainty surrounding who will buy all this debt. He suggests real inflation numbers may be higher than reported, potentially leading to significant increases in interest rates.

The U.S., with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 120%, faces a major concern regarding unsustainable levels of interest expenses.

Mel shares his concerns about the historical parallels between the current high debt-to-GDP ratio and that of the post-World War II era, when reductions in debt came from a combination of surprise inflation and interest rate manipulations.

The need for fiscal sustainability is discussed, with maintaining a 3% deficit to GDP ratio suggested.

However, achieving this through cuts alone is considered unrealistic due to the significant role government spending plays in the economy.

The possibility of a debt reset under new Treasury Secretary Scott Besson is explored, with the need for independence from China's supply chains and essential goods emphasized due to global security competition.

The potential for gold and Bitcoin as neutral reserve assets is proposed, along with revaluing gold certificates held by the Federal Reserve and a move towards these assets to lead to significant increases in value.

 Mel discusses Bitcoin potentially decoupling from risk assets like QQQ this year due to increasing institutional adoption.

Potential consequences of a global debt crisis include a revaluation of currencies through gold or Bitcoin, and economic wartime goals setting the stage for inflationary impulses to return.

The need for controlling interest rates and addressing inflation is emphasized, with potential consequences including debt repression, a gold certificate revaluation, and the promotion of stablecoins.

Mel predicts a significant crisis leading to market pullbacks and recoveries, while acknowledging the urgency to tackle deficit issues due to their increasing impact on tax receipts and interest expenses.

During his campaign, Trump drummed up support from top executives, among others, in the crypto industry looking for a change in the U.S. regulatory environment.

Trump is also set to issue crypto-related executive orders.

In his return to Washington D.C. on Monday, Donald Trump touted his support for innovation, though did not specifically mention crypto during his inauguration speech on Monday.

“There’s no nation like our nation,” Trump said. “Americans are explorers, builders, innovators, entrepreneurs and pioneers. The spirit of the frontier is written into our hearts."

However, Trump did not mention crypto in a document titled "President Trump's America First Priorities" in an email sent out by the office of the press secretary. Punchbowl News earlier released the document.

During his campaign, Trump drummed up support from top executives, among others, in the crypto industry looking for a change in the U.S. regulatory environment.

Trump made several promises to the sector, including promising to commute Ross Ulbrucht's sentence, who is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for his role in creating and operating the dark web marketplace Silk Road, tied to bitcoin's early history.  

Trump also vowed to stop "Joe Biden's crusade to crush crypto" by ensuring the future of crypto will not be "driven overseas," supporting the right to self-custody and preventing the development of a central bank digital currency. 

Some Republican lawmakers have been staunchly opposed to a CBDC and say a CBDC could open the door to government surveillance of peoples' transactions.

Trump is reportedly poised to issue executive orders on his first day that could include creating a crypto council and ensuring that firms have access to banks, according to Reuters. The Washington Post reported last week that Trump could also issue executive orders that encompass repealing the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's controversial crypto accounting guidance, SAB 121.

A potential crypto council could have anywhere between 10 to 100 members. Those members will presumably be crypto executives, but those decisions will be up to the firms to pick who will represent them in the council, said Ron Hammond, senior director of government relations at the Blockchain Association, in an interview with The Block last week.

Trump also plans to issue an executive order to set cryptocurrency as a national policy priority, Bloomberg reported last week, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Days before his inauguration, Trump's team launched the TRUMP token on the Solana blockchain which reached a market cap of over $9 billion. Trump has also previously thrown his support behind the debut of World Liberty Financial, a DeFi protocol that counts former that counts the President-elect as its "chief crypto advocate." That project was criticized by some crypto pundits who called it "a meme masquerading as a utility project."

OVER $200B WIPED FROM CRYPTO MARKETS AFTER TRUMP IGNORES CRYPTO IN CEREMONY SPEECH

The total crypto market cap dumped toward $3.6 trillion.

Donald Trump’s highly anticipated inauguration ceremony officially took place, and he is now the 47th US president.

Despite the numerous reports ahead of time about potentially including crypto in his speech, Trump failed to mention it even once, which triggered a massive crash for the entire market.

Just as the inauguration began, BTC’s price tumbled by over five grand, going from more than $107,000 to under $102,000 in minutes.

However, it managed to recover some ground and spiked to $105,000 during the speech. However, once that concluded and it became evident that Trump will not mention the digital asset industry at all, BTC and the rest of the market headed south immediately.

BTC’s nosedive took it south to $100,500 (for now). Many altcoins bled even more heavily, including Trump’s official meme coin. The recently launched asset is down by over 20% in the past hour alone and now struggles to remain above $40. Recall that it peaked above $70 earlier today but has faced a lot of competition and criticism following the launch of Melania Trump’s alternative.

Other massive losers include SPX, FARTCOIN, HBAR, WIF, LINK, AAVE, WLD, TIA, BONK, and more, as all of them have dropped by more than 6% in the last hour.

The total crypto market cap went from a daily high of over $3.850 trillion to $3.6 trillion during the crash.

The wrecked positions have shot up to nearly $200 million within that same timeframe. Almost 400,000 traders have been liquidated on a daily scale, according to data from CoinGlass.

US CBDC ‘IS DEAD’ UNDER TRUMP, BUT STABLECOINS COULD BE SET TO EXPLODE

President Donald Trump has promised to “never allow” a CBDC in the United States, but stablecoin adoption is well on its way.

Now that US President Donald Trump has taken his oath of office, the chances for a US central bank digital currency (CBDC) are all but finished.

Trump has been a vocal opponent of CBDCs, promising on the campaign trail in New Hampshire in 2024 that he would “never allow the creation of a central bank digital currency,” as he claimed it would give the government “absolute control over your money.”

Trump made the promise early on in the campaign, back in January 2024, but there’s little to suggest that the president has changed his mind. Top picks for Trump’s Cabinet and prominent members of the Republican-controlled Congress have also vocally opposed a CBDC.

However, US lawmakers are still focused on proliferating digital currencies. In the absence of a digital dollar and with significant bipartisan support, stablecoin adoption could see significant growth under the incoming administration.

CBDCs are dead; long live the stablecoin

“CBDC in the US is dead under Trump,” Geoff Kendrick, global head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered, told Cointelegraph. “Instead, they’re going down the private stablecoin route, and the Fed has no control over that.”

Indeed, stablecoin legislation is already making its way through the system. In the House of Representatives, Rep. Patrick McHenry introduced the Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act of 2023, while in the Senate, Wyoming Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis and New York Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand submitted the Lummis-Gillibrand Payment Stablecoin Act.

These bills would provide regulatory guardrails that the industry has been saying it needs in order to succeed.

Some have suggested the industry could see new stablecoin regulations soon, as it would be a quick win for representatives on both sides of the aisle, who will need to defend their seats again in 2026.

Kendrick said, “I think, under Trump, you’ll get passage in the next few months of a stablecoin bill that creates regulation. You’ll then probably get more TradFi players issuing stablecoins in the US [...] and you’ll also get more surety behind the two largest stablecoins, Tether and USDC.”

The pivot to private stablecoins can be explained by two important factors: the clear privacy concerns surrounding CBDCs and the fact that central banks are having a hard time convincing the public of their benefits.

CBDCs raise concerns about privacy and government oversight

Reuters and The Washington Post have reported that the Trump administration is planning mass dismissals of federal employees, paving the way for them to be replaced by appointees loyal to the administration.

Administration spokesperson Brian Hughes told Reuters, “The Trump Administration will have a place for people serving in government who are committed to defending the rights of the American people, putting America first, and ensuring the best use of working men and women’s tax dollars.”

This rhetoric fits into the wider Republican skepticism of government involvement in the financial industry and the desire to deregulate that industry broadly. It comes as no surprise then that CBDCs, which are already a subject of public privacy concerns, should be a target.

John Kiff, a digital currency expert and former senior financial sector expert at the International Monetary Fund, told Cointelegraph that users “want cash-like anonymity and privacy, but central banks are reluctant to offer that as they bend the knee to financial integrity laws and regulations” like Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism laws.

Kiff said, “Purported benefits are related to such things as increasing financial inclusion and reducing the costs to users and merchants of transactions.”

Trump himself suggested that, with a CBDC, the government “could take your money, and you wouldn’t even know it was gone.”

15 Better Places Than Under the Mattress To Hide Money in Your House

15 Better Places Than Under the Mattress To Hide Money in Your House

By Laura Gesualdi-Gilmore

Consider storing cash in everyday items that make surprisingly good hiding spots.

You’ve probably seen it on TV and in movies 100 times before: a character trying to hide some cash throws it under a mattress.

But anyone breaking into your home looking for cash knows the mattress trick, making it a questionable place to hide money.

Of course, the best place for your money is in the bank — but if you’d like to keep some in your home, consider these less obvious, more secure hiding spots to reduce your money stress.

A permanent, hidden safe

A safe could be a worthy investment if you plan to keep a lot of cash and other valuables in the home, but the safe should either be permanently bolted in place somewhere hidden — or weigh several hundred pounds.

An obvious-looking portable safe is simply too easy for thieves to run off with and figure out later.

Behind a drawer

Storing cash inside a kitchen or bedroom drawer is not the safest move. Anyone who breaks into your home will probably quickly sift through these looking for valuables.

However, putting cash in an envelope and taping it to the back or underside of the drawer (not in the drawer) can be a sneakier, more secure option.

Behind wall art or decor

Cash can also be stored in an envelope taped behind generic-looking art or something like a wall clock. Just make sure that the art or decor itself doesn’t look like something worth stealing.

In the bookshelves

Some people store bills among the books in their bookshelves. However, if you want to avoid shaking out every book when you need to go retrieve the cash, consider investing in one of the fake book safes Amazon sells.

These appear to be normal books but open up to a locked box.

A box in a box

In most cases, anyone looking to rob your home is going to be moving quickly, so the more obstacles you can add to your cash hiding spots, the better.

Consider hiding cash in a box placed within a box of something that would look unappealing to crooks — like winter clothes or Christmas ornaments (really anything that doesn’t scream value).

Opaque food jars

Certain food jars placed in odd places may be obvious—as will the stereotypical cash-filled old coffee can. But if you have some opaque food jars and keep them in their expected homes in your pantry, they can be a great place to hide cash.

You can also purchase things like fake Coke cans online that can be used as small safes.

In pockets

Any hiding spot that would require a potential thief to sift through a lot of items adds a layer of safety. Cash folded up and placed in the pocket of a pair of slacks or a coat hung up among many in a closet is probably safe — as long as you can remember where it is.

Barreling Towards an Economic Crisis at Year-End Unless this Happens

Barreling Towards an Economic Crisis at Year-End Unless this Happens

David Lin:  1-19-2025

The global economic landscape is looking increasingly precarious, with renowned economist Steve Hanke, Professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University, raising alarm bells about a potential crisis brewing before year-end.

In a recent interview with David Lin, Hanke painted a stark picture, suggesting that without significant corrective action, the world economy could be headed for turbulent times.

Hanke’s analysis focuses on the shifts in economic policy and conditions since Donald Trump’s inauguration, citing several factors contributing to the current instability. While he didn’t detail specific policy failures in the provided information, the framing of the interview heavily implies a correlation between post-Trump economic developments and the current vulnerability.

While the specifics of what “must happen” to avoid the crisis were not detailed in the information provided, Hanke’s reputation as a leading economic thinker lends significant weight to his warnings.

His implication that an economic crisis is a real possibility unless action is taken should be a wake-up call for policymakers and the general public alike.

The interview leaves many questions unanswered, but the core message is clear: the clock is ticking, and unless a decisive shift in [again, areas like economic policy & regulations] occurs, we may be facing a very difficult year-end. The world will be watching anxiously for how governments and institutions respond to these stark warnings from a respected voice in the economic field.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 20 Jan. 2025

Compiled Mon. 20 Jan. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Sun. 19 Jan. 2025 BOOM! The RV and Military Operations: A Historic Treaty Signed by 209 Countries! Trust the Plan! …Steve Bannon on Telegram

A revolutionary treaty signed by 209 countries aims to redefine global currencies, ensure economic equality, and foster unprecedented prosperity worldwide. This bold move is transforming financial systems, releasing prosperity funds, and igniting humanitarian projects that promise to uplift lives across the globe.

A Financial Revolution Like No Other: The global financial system has long favored a few powerful nations, leaving others in economic instability. This treaty changes everything. By revaluing currencies like the Iraqi Dinar, Vietnamese Dong, and Zimbabwean ZIM, the playing field is being leveled for all nations. This is more than financial reform—it’s a declaration of fairness, equality, and hope.

The Prosperity Fund: At the heart of this initiative is the Prosperity Fund, a massive pool aimed at empowering “We The People.” It will fund humanitarian projects, wealth redistribution, and community reconstruction, addressing critical issues like poverty, education, and access to clean water. This is about transforming lives and ensuring everyone benefits from this new era.

Key Currency Revaluations

Iraqi Dinar: Long undervalued, now poised to unlock Iraq’s economic potential.
Vietnamese Dong: Reflecting Vietnam’s growth, the Dong will match the strength of the US Dollar.
Zimbabwean ZIM: Ending years of hyperinflation, the ZIM’s revaluation is a turning point for Zimbabwe.

The Stellar Network: Banking for All: Millions of people have been excluded from banking systems—until now. The Stellar Network is bringing secure, accessible financial services to the unbanked, empowering them to take control of their futures. This isn’t just about money; it’s about inclusion and opportunity for all humanity.

Military Operations Behind the Scenes: A coordinated military operation is ensuring the revaluation process (RV) proceeds smoothly. From securing currency transportation to preventing fraud, their oversight guarantees a stable and seamless transition. This is a testament to meticulous planning, international collaboration, and unwavering commitment to economic stability.

A New Dawn of Equality and Prosperity: This treaty is more than a financial shift—it’s a revolution that will change lives forever. The world is on the brink of a brighter future, where fairness and opportunity replace greed and inequality.

Yes, I mean FOREX!  I do not see the Trump era administration not seeing the necessity for going to FOREX with all the progress of the reforms to move to the next stage. I am sure the US Treasury will agree. ...I am told by [my] CBI contact...that they...are giving Iraq a “thumbs up” to move ahead.

Member: Hoping this is our week for some solid news....

Member: Lots of big changes starting today……is this our week? I hope and pray it is

MZ: There is a great piece in Iraq about new bills and security features. This is a really big one

Member: Mark: I was disappointed to see their new security feature bank notes with the zeros still intact. Why would they print up new currency if they were going to change the rate??

MZ: “CBI unveils new banknote security features” Lots of pictures and they show us on the old bills where some of these features could be and what to look for ….This is great cover for new bills and distributing the lower denominations…….this is a world class approach. With bills with new security feature- they will need to distribute the lower denominations  throughout the banks and businesses .  

MZ: This article had me awfully excited. The dinar is going to be one of the most sophisticated currencies in the world…..and it should be as imo it is about to be the most valuable currency in the world.

Member: Iraq needs to mount coins when the value increases

Member: I heard they didn't sign the budget contract in Iraq and they got mad and walked out and rescheduled for tomorrow. I think they are waiting on Trump for some reason.

MZ: it was quite an interesting weekend in Iraq:  “ Iraq parliament Adjourns it’s session after breaking the quorum”   yesterday when it got to the budget….members threw fits  and ministers walked out. They are reconvening Tuesday at 1:00. Sudani says they are going to settle this Erbil thing and anybody who does not show up will face a One million dinar fine. If there is a new value that would be one heck of a fine.

MZ: It would be easier if they had the new rate so the budget tables would make sense

MZ: “A delegation from the regions finance heads to Baghdad to discuss salaries and budget amendments”  they are sending delegations back and forth to settle things by Tuesday

MZ: “ Parliamentary finance: Amending article 12 will cost the state $7.5 billion” this is part of what the walk outs were about.

MZ: I guess people are more motivated to do the right thing when money is on the line.

Member: Mark look at IQD on xe and see what it says …it started showing up on Saturday

MZ: We are seeing some crazy rates and values….buckle up…its going to be a crazy couple of days.

Member: I heard that Holly said the RV won’t happen until the USN’s are released and the Republic announced?

MZ: I was told from day one that this would happen at the same time….

Member: if Trump is signing about 200 EO’s today…..i wonder if he will slip in the reset and Nesara while he’s signing????

Member: It is going to be a wonderful week.

The Central Bank reviewed these improved security signs, through a technical bulletin, received by Shafaq News Agency, noting the introduction of prominent signs on the new banknotes to enable the visually impaired to recognize the denominations of bills by touch.

In the context of awareness, the bank indicated that the public will have sufficient time to adapt to the new banknotes, stressing the importance of sharing this information with those around them.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Monday Morning 1-20-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

INVESTOR CHRIS BURNISKE SEES CRYPTO ENTERING ‘GOLDILOCKS PERIOD’ AMID SUPPORT FROM INCOMING US ADMINISTRATION

Venture capitalist Chris Burniske believes crypto is about to enter uncharted territory as the United States welcomes a second Donald Trump presidency.

Burniske tells his 317,600 followers on the social media platform X that he thinks Bitcoin’s (BTC) four-year cycle may witness an abrupt end with the installment of a pro-crypto US government.

BTC’s four-year cycle is based on halving events when Bitcoin miner rewards are slashed in half every four years. In the past, halvings have correlated with parabolic rallies for Bitcoin as the reduction in new BTC emissions created an imbalance between supply and demand.

Says Burniske,

“Continue to believe there are high odds we break the simplistic four-year cycle that BTC has honored the last ~12 years…

With a supportive US administration, crypto could be entering a Goldilocks period over the next many years, where returns aren’t as parabolic, but instead we see steadier growth, not to mention majors stop suffering 85-95% drawdowns.”

In investing, a Goldilocks scenario is when an asset class sees moderate and sustainable growth over a long period of time.

Burniske also predicts market meltdowns that crypto investors have been accustomed to will likely be in the rearview mirror once digital assets enter Goldilocks territory. He believes that exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will support the steady rise of crypto assets while minimizing market drawdowns.

“On drawdowns: I’m not saying they’ll stop, I’m saying it’s possible they get less extreme for the majors, which could whiplash people who overtrade with too much aggression…

I also think BTC and ETH both having ETFs, and perhaps SOL+ soon, will provide more consistent buying pressure for these assets.”

While the investor believes in steady growth for large-cap coins, he notes that digital assets could still witness gut-wrenching corrections but they likely won’t be as severe as the ones seen in the past.

“If you ever want to see the percentage drawdown BTC could be exposed to, look at the 200-week SMA (simple moving average), which has been our most reliable technical support each bearish period. Right now at ~$40,000 that suggests a 60% drawdown is possible, which is a far cry from 80%+ (has to drop another 50% from 60% down, to hit 80% down). As BTC rises, so too will the 200-week SMA.”

Burniske concludes by saying that 2025 will likely be a “great year” for crypto investors.

GOLD PRICES COULD HIT $3,000 IF TRUMP PUTS HIS THREATS TO WORK

Donald Trump took oath as the 47th President of the United States on Monday and will govern the nation for four years. Investors closely watch his statements, threats, and proposals on the U.S. economy and monetary policies. Gold prices hovered around the $2,707 mark when Trump took oath and surged nearly 5 points in the indices.

The precious metal remains on the greener side of the spectrum and is looking to gain another leg-up. Traders are hopeful that Trump’s upcoming trade wars could benefit gold prices, as institutions could park their funds to hedge the markets.

Trump’s Trade Tariffs Could Make Gold Reach $3,000

A leading commodity investor told Kitco News that gold prices could reach $3,000 if Trump sticks to his tariff threats. The markets could react strongly if the tariffs are imposed, as they could cause a trade imbalance between the U.S. and other countries.

Jesse Colombo, an independent precious metals analyst and founder of the BubbleBubble Report said that the short-term target for gold prices remains at $2,800. If Trump heats the import and export sector, gold’s price target remains a solid $3,000. He wrote that it could breach the mark during the second half of 2025.

“For the past two months, gold has been taking a breather, but now the market has a lot of pent-up energy. I’m excited about gold’s potential,” he said. The analyst explained that if Trump’s tariffs take place, consumers around the world will have to shell out more money for daily essentials.

“Gold’s significant resistance level remains $3,000 an ounce,“ he said, adding that a price rise ignited by Trump could lead to stagnation in the global markets. Therefore, investors need to closely watch Trump’s policies and invest widely based on the market trends. The XAU/USD could continue its rally in 2025 and remain in demand throughout the year.

AI agents are, at present, the only meta that seems to matter. They’ve been breathing fresh degeneracy into the crypto markets like nothing we have seen until this point in the cycle and stealing insane amounts of mindshare in the process.

Meanwhile, the fools who faded are forced to FUD away from the sidelines while the rest of us sift through the trenches to try and catch the next 100x mooner.

The open-sourced nature of this narrative means that things are moving at a pace that no single humanoid can possibly keep up with. This further proves the utility of these ever-awake, ever-watching robots — who are already outcompeting us mortals in every aspect of the crypto game.

It seems like very soon we simple homo sapiens will be forced into capitulation by our new AI overlords as we watch ourselves be replaced in pretty much every facet of life.

It is, however, not all bad news. At least not for us degens.

Within this agent meta will spring forth many sub-metas that we can attempt to gamble our way to freedom before the inevitable replacement occurs.
