Acting SEC Chair Urges Crypto Reset—Classification Shouldn’t Be Courtroom Chaos

Acting U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Mark T. Uyeda led the inaugural session of the agency’s Crypto Task Force roundtable on March 21 in Washington D.C.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

ACTING SEC CHAIR REJECTS ENFORCEMENT—DEMANDS REAL CRYPTO RULES

The acting SEC chair urged rulemaking over enforcement to clarify crypto regulations and avoid courtroom confusion.

Acting SEC Chair Urges Crypto Reset—Classification Shouldn’t Be Courtroom Chaos

Acting U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Mark T. Uyeda led the inaugural session of the agency’s Crypto Task Force roundtable on March 21 in Washington D.C. He used the occasion to urge the Commission to move away from regulation through enforcement when dealing with crypto assets.

Speaking to regulators, legal experts, and market participants, Uyeda argued that the SEC should instead embrace formal rulemaking processes to bring clarity to the digital asset space. He stated:

"This approach of using notice-and-comment rulemaking or explaining the Commission’s thought process through releases – rather than through enforcement actions – should have been considered for classifying crypto assets under the federal securities laws."

His remarks set the tone for a roundtable focused on addressing the fragmented legal interpretations that have defined the crypto landscape for years.

Uyeda examined the inconsistent application of the Howey test, the Supreme Court’s 1946 standard for identifying investment contracts, and how those inconsistencies complicate the classification of crypto assets.

He cited his own past as Chief Advisor to the California Corporations Commissioner, where he argued a certificate of deposit with an attached bonus qualified as an investment contract—a position the court rejected.

According to Uyeda, the legal community remains divided. Some federal circuits, he noted, require pooling of investor funds and pro rata profit distribution, while others accept a broader interpretation centered on shared risk.

There is also disagreement over whether the investor’s gain must stem from post-sale efforts by the promoter or whether significant actions taken before the sale are sufficient to meet Howey’s threshold.

The acting SEC chair noted:

"Differences in opinions among various courts is not unusual. After all, a judicial opinion is limited to the particular facts and circumstances of that case."

“When judicial opinions have created uncertainty for market participants in the past, the Commission and its staff have stepped in to provide guidance,” he clarified. Pointing to past instances where the SEC offered guidance to fill legal gaps—such as in the classification of whisky warehouse receipts and condominium sales—Uyeda suggested that the same approach should have been taken with digital assets.

BRICS: 35% OF RUSSIA’S FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVES IS GOLD

BRICS member Russia is heavily diversifying its foreign exchange reserves by replacing the US dollar with gold. As of March 2025, gold makes up 34.4% of Russia’s foreign exchange reserves and is worth $217.4 billion. The Central Bank of India is massively accumulating the precious metal to safeguard its economy from market turmoil.

Russia is just one among the BRICS nations that has been aggressively buying gold since 2022. Its counterparts China, India, and Brazil have also been accumulating the glittery metal for 36 months.

The developing countries are looking to sideline the US dollar for foreign exchange reserves as the currency comes with the risk of debt.

If the market crashes, holding the US dollar becomes a financial burden and weakens their respective economy

Therefore, BRICS members are turning towards gold and other local currencies to distance themselves from the threat of acquiring debt. If the US fails to export the dollar, inflation could wreak havoc in the homeland leading to a rapid price rise for daily essentials.

BRICS Newfound Love for Gold

Speculation is also doing the rounds that BRICS aims to launch a new currency backed by gold in the coming yearsTherefore, the alliance members are massively accumulating the metal in their central banks and diversifying their reservesThe goal is to usher into a new era of financial establishment where the US dollar plays no significant role.

It’s the Difference Between $70 and $140 Million

It’s the Difference Between $70 and $140 Million [Podcast]

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 18, 2025

A few years ago, I was at a private conference listening to a CEO of a silver mining company explain—quite matter-of-factly—how silver prices were being manipulated.

He laid out the whole playbook: how major Wall Street traders would flood the market with short positions in paper silver, drive the price down, and simultaneously accumulate physical silver at rock-bottom prices. Then, once they’d cornered enough physical supply, they’d let prices rise, selling into the momentum they themselves created.

It’s the Difference Between $70 and $140 Million [Podcast]

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 18, 2025

A few years ago, I was at a private conference listening to a CEO of a silver mining company explain—quite matter-of-factly—how silver prices were being manipulated.

He laid out the whole playbook: how major Wall Street traders would flood the market with short positions in paper silver, drive the price down, and simultaneously accumulate physical silver at rock-bottom prices. Then, once they’d cornered enough physical supply, they’d let prices rise, selling into the momentum they themselves created.

It was a textbook case of market manipulation—illegal, unethical, but enormously profitable.

But what stuck with me wasn’t the CEO’s explanation. It was the reaction of some of the “finance elite” in the room.

A few of them scoffed. You could practically see them rolling their eyes. Manipulate silver? Why would anyone bother? They arrogantly dismissed the notion outright.

Fast forward a couple of years, and guess what happened? JP Morgan paid a nearly $1 billion fine for precisely this kind of manipulation. Several traders went to prison.

Turns out, the “conspiracy theory” was, in fact, reality.

The reason why it happened is because it could happen. Silver is a small enough market where a few large players can force those kind of price fluctuations.

And to me, that is the primary reason why we likely won’t see a sustained run up in silver prices.

Gold has now hit $3,000 per ounce. So could speculation drive silver to ridiculous heights? Absolutely. The Wall Street traders might even pull the reverse of what they did last time and intentionally drive prices up.

But there is a key difference between silver and gold– gold has an obvious catalyst for higher prices: central banks are buying up gold literally by the metric ton in their efforts to diversify away from the US dollar.

The silver market, on the other hand, is simply too small to absorb that amount of capital.

Gold also provides central banks with the best wealth density to easily store vast fortunes of value.

Think about it like this— a barrel of oil is worth about $70. If you fill up that same barrel with silver, you’d have about $1.5 million of value.

But fill it up with gold and suddenly it’s worth about $140 million!

In other words, gold is the one of the most ‘dense’ forms of wealth in existence… and that’s the primary reason why central banks are loading up on it, instead of silver.

We discuss all this in today’s podcast, as well as another precious metal that central bankers might consider accumulating— and it’s not silver.

We also talk about what gold’s latest milestone means, if investors are too late to the party, and some alternative ways to gain exposure to what will likely be a continuing run up in gold prices.

One of those alternatives is investments in profitable, well-managed precious metals companies which are at the moment incredibly undervalued.

That’s because central banks are buying gold, not gold companies.

The last three precious metals companies that we showcased in our 4th Pillar investment research newsletter fit this exact criteria, and are up 27%, 21%, and 40% respectively.

We still think this is a very sensible approach worth considering.

“Tidbits From TNT” Monday Morning 3-24-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  After a suspension of more than a month, parliament confirms that the parliament session will convene today.

Arif al-Hamami, a member of the Coordination Framework, confirmed that the House of Representatives will hold its session today, Monday, to proceed with the reading of important laws after sessions were suspended for more than a month.

Al-Hamami told Shafaq News Agency, "The House of Representatives will successfully hold its session today, after sessions were suspended for more than a month due to disagreements over the Popular Mobilization Forces' service and retirement law. However, after the law is submitted for its first reading, the House will proceed with the session and the legislation will be expedited."

Tishwash:  After a suspension of more than a month, parliament confirms that the parliament session will convene today.

Arif al-Hamami, a member of the Coordination Framework, confirmed that the House of Representatives will hold its session today, Monday, to proceed with the reading of important laws after sessions were suspended for more than a month.

Al-Hamami told Shafaq News Agency, "The House of Representatives will successfully hold its session today, after sessions were suspended for more than a month due to disagreements over the Popular Mobilization Forces' service and retirement law. However, after the law is submitted for its first reading, the House will proceed with the session and the legislation will be expedited."

He added, "The House of Representatives will work to double its sessions over the coming period to compensate for the absence of a session during the previous period. The House will also witness accelerated activity to activate its oversight and legislative role during the coming period, especially after the Eid al-Fitr holiday."

Political positions vary regarding the inclusion of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) law on the agenda of the parliament session scheduled for Monday. This move aims to end the parliament's nearly two-month hiatus from holding sessions.

The Iraqi Parliament has repeatedly failed to reach a consensus on the provisions of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) law, particularly since it mandates the retirement of more than 3,500 PMF leaders, including the commission's chairman, Faleh al-Fayyadh, who are over the legal retirement age.

A source within the Coordination Framework revealed on March 11 that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani had withdrawn the Popular Mobilization Forces' civil service and retirement law from the Iraqi parliament to minimize political disagreement and prevent it from interfering with parliamentary sessions. The source added that the convening of parliamentary sessions was now contingent on the law being added to the parliament's agenda.

The House of Representatives is witnessing ongoing disruptions to its sessions, due to the lack of a quorum to hold them, despite the announcement of the agenda and the setting of a session date ink

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

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani forms a 40-member council to promote the private sector.

The Ministry of Planning announced on Sunday the issuance of a royal decree to form a private sector development council, headed by the Prime Minister. The council's members will be 40. 

The ministry said in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, "A royal order was issued to form the Permanent Private Sector Development Council, headed by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, and two deputies. The first is Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Planning Mohammed Ali Tamim, while the second deputy will be a representative of the private sector, elected by the council members."

She added that “the council consists, in addition to the first and second deputies, of (38) members, (10) of whom represent the government agencies related to the private sector development file, while the (28) members represent the various activities   under the banner of the private sector, which include industrial and agricultural activities, banking sectors, contracting and public investments, entertainment investments, hotels and restaurants, general trade and commercial agencies, communications and health, private education, residential activity, real estate development and energy.”

She pointed out that "the council includes a group of experts and representatives of youth and entrepreneurship," explaining that "the Permanent Council for Private Sector Development is of great importance, as it is the effective representative of all economic activities in this sector, and will play a fundamental role in formulating economic and investment policy, contributing to achieving a true partnership with the public sector."   link

Tishwash:  PM Barzani Urges Closer KRG-Iraq Ties in Meeting with World Bank

The discussion between PM Barzani and World Bank Regional Director Jean-Christophe Carret underscored the need for closer cooperation with Baghdad on economic reforms, institutional development, and improved public services.

In a diplomatic engagement aimed at strengthening economic cooperation and accelerating public sector reforms, Kurdistan Region’s Prime Minister Masrour Barzani received a delegation from the World Bank on Sunday.

The delegation was led by Jean-Christophe Carret, the World Bank’s Regional Director for the Middle East.

According to a statement from the KRG, the meeting underscored the importance of deepening collaboration between the Kurdistan Region, the federal government of Iraq, and the World Bank, particularly in areas tied to economic modernization, institutional reform, and improvements in public service delivery.

The visit by the World Bank delegation signals renewed international interest in supporting the KRG’s efforts to modernize its economy and governance structures, particularly at a time when regional and global economic pressures demand more effective and transparent institutions. As the KRG continues to navigate complex political and fiscal challenges, its partnership with global financial institutions like the World Bank is seen as crucial to ensuring long-term stability and prosperity.

The World Bank, founded in 1944 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is one of the world’s leading international financial institutions. It provides loans, grants, and technical expertise to developing countries to reduce poverty and support sustainable economic development. Over the years, it has played an active role in post-conflict reconstruction and institutional reform in Iraq.

Back in 2016, the World Bank entered into discussions with both the Iraqi federal government and the KRG about providing a major loan to support development and service projects across the country.

As part of the KRG’s broader economic strategy, Prime Minister Masrour Barzani has led efforts to expand banking services across the Kurdistan Region. In his address at HITEX24 on September 3, 2024—covered by Kurdistan24—he announced that banking capacity has increased fivefold since the ninth cabinet took office, reflecting a push to modernize the financial system and reduce reliance on cash-based transactions.

Furthermore, the KRG has made notable strides in digital governance. According to the KRG’s official Strategy for Digital Transformation, spearheaded by the Department of Information Technology (DIT), the government aims to become a regional GovTech powerhouse by 2025. The strategy is underpinned by six Core Strategic Activities (CSAs): strengthening digital governance, building digital architecture, investing in human capital, prioritizing user-centered design, improving security and data privacy, and reforming procurement systems.

The strategy emphasizes a citizen- and business-centric approach to public service, supported by agile and transparent IT infrastructure. It also introduces robust digital principles, including interoperability, data-driven decision-making, and accessibility across government platforms. According to the document, over 50 government services have been digitized, with the long-term vision that all residents will be able to access public services 'anywhere, anytime, on any device.'

The Prime Minister’s Decree No. 104 (2020) formally authorized the DIT to lead and regulate the digital transformation of all KRG entities. As stated in the strategy, the transformation is not only technological but also institutional, involving legal reforms, public awareness campaigns, and engagement with private sector and international stakeholders. This holistic vision is seen as essential for reducing bureaucracy, improving transparency, and unlocking economic opportunities across the Kurdistan Region.

At the World Government Summit 2025 in Dubai, PM Barzani reiterated the Kurdistan Region’s strategic vision, emphasizing institutional reform, youth empowerment, and long-term sustainability. He stated that the KRG seeks to be a regional model for effective governance and forward-looking economic planning.

These developments provide crucial context for the World Bank’s deepening engagement with the Kurdistan Region and underscore the international community’s recognition of the KRG’s ongoing efforts to implement structural reforms and strengthen its institutional foundations.  link

Posted by Mot at TNT: The width of that tunnel is just slightly…

TNT:

Mot:  ....... And guess what? The width of that tunnel is just slightly

Did you know that the standard railroad gauge in the U.S.—the distance between the rails—is 4 feet, 8.5 inches? That might seem like an odd number, and there's a fascinating story behind it that stretches back thousands of years!

Why was that gauge used in the first place? Well, it's because the first U.S. railroads were designed by English engineers, and that’s how they built them in England. But why did the English use that particular gauge? It turns out that the first rail lines were constructed by the same people who built the old wagon tramways, and they used the same gauge.

Mot:  ....... And guess what? The width of that tunnel is just slightly

Did you know that the standard railroad gauge in the U.S.—the distance between the rails—is 4 feet, 8.5 inches? That might seem like an odd number, and there's a fascinating story behind it that stretches back thousands of years!

Why was that gauge used in the first place? Well, it's because the first U.S. railroads were designed by English engineers, and that’s how they built them in England. But why did the English use that particular gauge? It turns out that the first rail lines were constructed by the same people who built the old wagon tramways, and they used the same gauge.

But why did they use that specific wheel spacing for wagons? The reason goes even further back. If they tried to use a different spacing, the wagon wheels would break more often on the old, long-distance roads in England. You see, the wheels had to match the spacing of the ruts in those roads. And who created those ruts?

The roads were originally built by Imperial Rome for their legions, and those roads have been used ever since. The ruts were made by Roman war chariots, which were all built to a standard width to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. So, the standard U.S. railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches actually originates from the specifications of an Imperial Roman war chariot!

Bureaucracies, it seems, have a knack for enduring the test of time. So, the next time you're handed a specification or process and wonder, "Who on earth came up with this?" you might just be right in thinking it dates back to a couple of horse's... well, you know!

Now, here’s the twist: When you see a Space Shuttle on its launch pad, there are two big solid rocket boosters (SRBs) attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These SRBs were made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah.

The engineers wanted to make them a bit wider, but there was one problem—the SRBs had to be shipped by train to the launch site. The railroad line passed through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel.

And guess what? The width of that tunnel is just slightly wider than the railroad track, which, as you now know, is determined by the width of two horses' behinds from ancient Rome.

So, a critical design feature of one of the most advanced transportation systems in the world was dictated by the width of two horses'... well, you get the idea.

Who knew that the influence of ancient horse's behinds could reach all the way into the Space Age?

SEC STAFF READY TO ‘WORK EARNESTLY’ TOWARD A FRAMEWORK FOR CRYPTO REGULATION, SAYS COMMISSIONER HESTER PEIRCE

SEC STAFF READY TO ‘WORK EARNESTLY’ TOWARD A FRAMEWORK FOR CRYPTO REGULATION, SAYS COMMISSIONER HESTER PEIRCE

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is ready to reset its relationship with the crypto industry, according to Commissioner Hester Peirce
.

The SEC’s new
 “Crypto Task Force” held its inaugural roundtable event on Friday, which brought together regulators, private-sector lawyers and digital asset firm executives.

At the event, Peirce, a longtime crypto advocate, spoke of “a restart of the Commission’s approach to crypto regulation.”

“The formation of the Crypto Task Force gave permission to staff in the building to work earnestly towards a workable framework for crypto regulation, and staff have responded with palpable enthusiasm. The enthusiasm in this room is also palpable, so let us seize the moment and have a meaningful conversation today.

This room is full of people—on the panel, on the Crypto Task Force, on the Commission staff, and in the audience—who are ready for [the] sprint ahead. People have been talking, thinking, and writing about the issues with which we are now wrestling. The roundtable series will allow us to explore the issues collaboratively.”


Peirce leads the Crypto Task Force, which launched in January. The commissioner said last month that the team is currently working on questions related to the security status, public offerings, custody and secondary market trading of crypto assets.

RIPPLE LAWSUIT NEWS: SEC DROPS CASE, BUT HERE’S THE WORST CASE SCENARIO

Ripple’s recent legal victory over the SEC has caused a huge stir in the crypto world. After a long legal battle, the SEC dropped its lawsuit against Ripple, which has left the industry buzzing with excitement. This decision marks a huge shift in how regulators will handle digital assets in the U.S., and it could set an important precedent for future cases.

Jeremy Hogana legal expert, provided a detailed breakdown of the current situation, explaining that while the SEC has dropped its appeal, it’s still unclear if Ripple has agreed to the same.

He said that the judgment from Judge Torres, which includes a $125 million penalty and an injunction, is the worst case scenario for RippleHere’s what could happen next:

1.  Ripple could continue appealing, seeking a court ruling on whether investment contracts require formal agreements.

2.  Ripple might agree to drop its appeal, returning the case to the trial court where both sides could try to amend the judgment.

3.  Ripple could drop its appeal and come to a private agreement with the SEC without modifying the judgment.

4.  Ripple might just pay the $125 million and move on without further legal action.

This outcome could have lasting effects on the crypto industry, as the SEC’s decision to back off from its aggressive stance signals a potential shift toward more clear and balanced regulatory guidelines

The legal victory clears a major roadblock for Ripple and sets the stage for the company to continue its mission of revolutionizing cross-border payments.

It also suggests a future where digital assets may be regulated under clearer rules, creating opportunities for growth in the industry. If Ripple can maintain this momentum, it could be a game-changer for the crypto space and offer a new path forward for digital currencies.

7 Useful Pieces Of Money Advice From People Who Started Their Own Business

Casey Clark  Mon, March 17, 2025   HuffPost Life

Money can be a scary topic for a lot of people. Perhaps you don’t even know where to even start when it comes to managing finances and keeping yourself afloat.  But there’s one group who needs to nail down financial literacy in order to thrive: people with their own businesses. Without it, they may not earn a living or see success with their endeavor. 

We spoke with small business owners about money advice they have for anyone hoping to get a handle on finances, whether you’re a business owner yourself or someone simply looking to try to improve your own personal bank account. Here’s what they suggest:

1. Make and understand your budget.

Erika Kullberg, an attorney and founder of Erika.com, told HuffPost that having a budget is paramount to success in both business and life.

“Your compensation can fluctuate, so it’s important to understand your cash flow and budget to make sure you’re saving for emergencies and retirement,” she said.

At the most basic level, you should budget for the necessities including housing, transportation, food and health care. Once you have the essentials covered, look at what’s left to budget for buckets like entertainment, subscriptions and savings. The key is knowing every dollar that goes in and out of your account.This guide on making a budget is a good place to start.

2. Educate yourself on tax breaks.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, employee or a freelancer, it’s important to remember what tax benefits are available to you. 

“This will allow you to keep more of your money so you can pay off any debt and save for retirement,” Kullberg said. 

For example, if you have your own business, there are certain expenses ― like office supplies, travel costs and moving expenses ― you can write off in your taxes, which can help in the long run. For non-business owners, there are certain credits you can account for as well, such as having children or donating to a charity. A financial advisor will typically be able to help educate you on what tax breaks you’re entitled to based on your income and individual situation. 

If you don’t want to spend money on an accountant or financial advisor, there are free resources online that can be helpful. NerdWallet and The Balance are two websites that have information on taxes, investing, budgeting and more that you can view for free. There are also content creators like Vivian Tu who make videos with information about financial literacy and the economy in an easily digestible manner.

Clare: A government advisor reveals an electronic system that will transform company registration from weeks to minutes.

3/23/2025 - Baghdad

On Sunday, the Prime Minister's advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, revealed the importance of a single window for company registration, noting seven exceptional advantages, including reducing the time required to register companies from weeks to minutes. 

"Establishing a unified electronic system for company registration is an important step to support commercial activity and stimulate investment in Iraq," Saleh said in a statement reported by the official news agency and seen by Al-Eqtisad News. "It not only facilitates procedures but also enhances business efficiency and creates a strong, more advanced and innovative economic environment, driven by several fundamental factors, most notably: accelerating procedures and reducing red tape."

He pointed out that "this digital system reduces the time required to register companies, which used to take weeks or months, and turns it into hours or minutes, allowing entrepreneurs and investors to quickly start their businesses without having to travel between multiple government agencies."

He added that "this system reduces operational and administrative costs, as it also contributes to reducing reliance on paper transactions, thus reducing costs for investors; avoiding many fees associated with paper documents, transportation, and other additional expenses."

Saleh explained that "the digital system enhances the research topic to a high degree of transparency, as the electronic company registration system is an important part of the government's philosophy of digital transformation and e-governance, due to its high credibility.

The aforementioned electronic system enables immediate verification of data and reduces the chances of manipulation or errors, which enhances trust between investors and government agencies, ultimately improving the business environment. It is one of the most important standards adopted by the World Bank for emerging economies in this regard, as it attracts investment and enhances competitiveness."

He continued, "The electronic system achieves a high degree of connectivity and network integration between relevant entities digitally, such as the General Tax Authority, investment authorities in the governorates, banks, in addition to the company registrar itself, with the relevant departments of the Ministry of Commerce, with extreme speed, accuracy, and high efficiency, which helps in making the right investment and production decisions."

He added, "It contributes to supporting entrepreneurship and small projects, as it encourages the removal of bureaucratic obstacles facing emerging business owners, which contributes to increasing the number of small and medium-sized enterprises, which constitute the backbone and main pillar of the national economy within the government program's strategy and its applications, and are in line with the comprehensive national development plan 2024-2028."  LINK

Another Great Depression Could Hit the US

Another Great Depression Could Hit the US

Sachs Realty:  3-23-2025

A prominent economist is raising concerns about the potential for a significant economic downturn, warning that a bursting “everything bubble” could trigger a recession on par with the Great Depression.

Another Great Depression Could Hit the US

Sachs Realty:  3-23-2025

A prominent economist is raising concerns about the potential for a significant economic downturn, warning that a bursting “everything bubble” could trigger a recession on par with the Great Depression.

The economist, whose name we’ve omitted per your request, predicts this potential crisis could materialize as early as 2025, with a significant collapse in the housing market being a key contributing factor.

The term “everything bubble” refers to a scenario where asset prices across various sectors, including stocks, bonds, and real estate, are inflated beyond their intrinsic value. This is often fueled by low interest rates and excessive liquidity injected into the market, leading to speculative investments and unsustainable growth.

According to the economist, several factors are contributing to this precarious situation. The prolonged period of historically low interest rates, intended to stimulate economic growth, has inadvertently inflated asset prices. Combined with unprecedented government spending and supply chain disruptions stemming from global events, this has created a perfect storm for a potential market correction.

The economist specifically highlights the vulnerability of the housing market. After a period of rapid price appreciation, driven by low interest rates and high demand, the housing market is now facing headwinds. Rising mortgage rates, spurred by the Federal Reserve’s efforts to combat inflation, are already cooling demand and putting downward pressure on prices. A significant correction in housing prices could have far-reaching consequences.

The economist’s warning about a potential “Great Depression” is stark. While economic downturns are a normal part of the economic cycle, the severity of the potential crisis stems from the interconnectedness of the global financial system and the sheer scale of the “everything bubble.”

A bursting bubble could trigger a global recession with widespread unemployment, business failures, and social unrest. The comparison to the Great Depression is not hyperbole; it underscores the potential for a truly catastrophic economic event.

While the economist’s prediction is concerning, it’s important to remember that it’s just that: a prediction. Economic forecasts are notoriously difficult to make, and the future is not set in stone.

While the future remains uncertain, being prepared and informed is the best way to navigate potential economic challenges. The warning from this economist serves as a wake-up call to pay attention to the risks and take proactive steps to protect your financial well-being.

His Excellency The Governor Of The Central Bank - Zaid Al-Hilli

March 22, 2025  Open mouth, closed mouth

His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank - Zaid Al-Hilli
I would not have intended to address this appeal directly to Your Excellency, as I am convinced that you are a man known for your humanity and that you understand the implications of this appeal.

 However, the numerous inquiries and appeals received from hundreds, perhaps thousands, of citizens in the media, including our newspaper, have prompted us to issue this appeal. We are hopeful that you will make your just decision during these blessed days of the holy month.

To summarize, there are private banks that failed to perform their duties for a variety of reasons we don't have the business of mentioning. This prompted the Central Bank to place them under its guardianship. Shareholders and depositors were delighted with the guardianship decision, hoping to rectify the situation of these banks and return them to strong operation. However, the matter took too long and became a disaster for citizens.

Citizens affected by the guardianship decision have been making intensive and persistent appeals to the media, even threatening to organize demonstrations to make their voices heard.

The phenomenon of placing many private banks under the guardianship of the Central Bank has begun to appear as a punishment for citizens who deposited their money or purchased shares in banks originally licensed by the Central Bank itself and established under valid government laws.

The "guillotine" of guardianship has eroded the remaining capital of these banks through rent payments, electricity and water bills, generator costs, employee salaries, and maintenance, all at the expense of the remaining funds of depositors and stockholders.

These are banks that are both open and closed! I ask: Wouldn't it be reasonable to end this anomalous situation, liquidate these companies, and distribute the remaining funds—which are a small amount—according to the creditors' apportionment system, instead of letting everything be lost, as happened with the Basra International Bank and others?

I have great hope in your wisdom and your usual humanity, because I believe that the prolonged guardianship situation may turn into a public opinion issue, although it is easy to solve.

Please, do not leave people alone to face this ordeal, some of whom are orphans, so rush to help those who have lost a small part of their savings, especially since we are in the last days of the blessed Ramadan. And be certain, Your Excellency, that the hand of charity is never empty, but rather God fills it with the blessings of giving. Please accept my highest respect and appreciation.  LINK

SEC HOLDS FIRST CRYPTO ROUNDTABLE TO REASSESS REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Despite presenting contrasting arguments, advocates and skeptics conceded that crypto needs regulatory clarity in the US.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

SEC HOLDS FIRST CRYPTO ROUNDTABLE TO REASSESS REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Despite presenting contrasting arguments, advocates and skeptics conceded that crypto needs regulatory clarity in the US.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) held its first crypto task force roundtable on March 21 to discuss regulation, which ended in a consensus that crypto needs regulatory clarity in the US despite diverging views among the panelists.

Panelists ranged from crypto advocates to skeptics and the session focused on longstanding debates, including the classification of digital assets and the limits of existing securities laws in addressing decentralized technologies.

Advocates defended decentralization as a gauge for determining whether a token is a security. At the same time, skeptics argued that the current definition by the Howey test works, as the SEC won more motions than lost.

The event marked a shift in tone from the SEC under former Chair Gary Gensler, who frequently characterized most crypto tokens as securities and pursued enforcement actions against major firms.

Legal definitions and the scope of securities law

Discussions extended to what characteristics of digital assets, if any, justify different treatment under the law. Crypto advocates at the event suggested that beyond asking whether something is a security, the more relevant question may be whether certain securities merit exemptive relief.

Proponents argued that one possible differentiator is the degree of control exerted by issuers, a concept that better captures the decentralized nature of many blockchain networks.

Lee Reiners, a lecturing fellow at the Duke Financial Economics Center, said that all panelists agree that Bitcoin (BTC) is not a security because it is sufficiently decentralized.

However, he added that drawing a line to define if something is sufficiently decentralized or an investment contract is impossible, citing a Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) report that divides decentralization by spectrums based on different aspects.

Investor risk and statutory authority

Skeptics of the crypto industry presented contrasting perspectives. Former SEC enforcement official John Reed Stark and the most vocal critic maintained that the agency’s responsibility is to protect investors who purchase digital assets.

Additionally, crypto critics argued that the Howey Test remains a sufficient legal standard and that the SEC’s track record of litigation success affirms its interpretive authority. Stark suggested that there is no need to reinvent the framework.

Despite these divisions, participants generally agreed that clearer definitions and regulatory consistency would benefit the industry and the SEC’s oversight responsibilities.

The roundtable represents the first in a series of efforts to modernize the agency’s stance on crypto markets while balancing investor protection with technological innovation. It signals the beginning of the regulator’s reassessment process.

RIPPLE PUSHES SEC WITH 3-STEP PLAN FOR CLEAR CRYPTO REGULATIONS

▪️Ripple criticizes past SEC leadership for creating regulatory confusion and urges a return to clear, existing securities laws.

▪️Ripple proposes the SEC focus on enforcing established laws, not creating new ones, to provide clarity for the crypto market.

▪️With the SEC dropping its appeal, the Ripple lawsuit nears resolution, highlighting the need for defined crypto regulations.  


Ripple is calling on the SEC to finally bring clarity to crypto regulations. The company argues that unclear rules have caused confusion for years, making it harder for businesses and investors to navigate the industry. 

This comes after Hester Peirce, head of the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, asked the public for input on how crypto assets should be classified. Her request, titled “There must be some way out of here,” signals an effort to fix the mess left by past SEC leadership.

But Ripple isn’t holding back. The company has strongly criticized the SEC’s previous approach, calling it inconsistent, overly complicated, and legally weak.

Now, Ripple is laying out a clear plan to cut through the confusion – one that could finally bring long-overdue regulatory clarity.

Ripple Criticizes Previous SEC Leadership

In its response, Ripple strongly criticized the SEC’s former chairman, Gary Gensler  arguing that the agency’s past approach to crypto regulation was unclear, overly complicated, and lacked legal support. Ripple suggested that the SEC intentionally created confusion to hide its failure to follow proper legal processes.

To fix this, Ripple outlined three key steps the SEC should take to improve regulatory clarity.

Ripple’s Three-Step Plan for Clearer Regulations

1. Focus on True Securities
Ripple believes the SEC should only regulate assets that legally qualify as securities under federal law. The company argued that many digital assets, especially those that do not generate profit or yield, should not be classified as securities.

2. Enforce Existing Laws Instead of Creating New Ones
Ripple urged the SEC to stick to the laws already in place instead of introducing new rules that could create further confusion. The company stressed that only Congress has the power to make new laws, and the SEC should focus on enforcing existing regulations.

3. Provide Clear Guidelines
Ripple called on the SEC to take a more transparent approach to crypto regulations. It praised the SEC’s decision to clarify that meme coins are not securities, saying such clear guidance helps reduce uncertainty in the market. Ripple is now pushing for similar clarity across the entire crypto industry.

Ripple vs. SEC Lawsuit Nears Its End

Meanwhile, the long-running legal battle between Ripple and the SEC is close to wrapping up. The SEC has dropped its appeal against Ripple, leaving only Ripple’s cross-appeal as the final step. Many legal experts believe Ripple will withdraw its appeal once a favorable agreement with the SEC is reached.

After years of regulatory chaos, the SEC and Ripple might finally be on the same page. The real question is: will crypto finally get the clarity it deserves?

Tishwash:  Forecasts of global economic variables and their impact on the Iraqi economy (2025-2030)

Samir Al-Nusairi

 In light of analyzing the current situation of international economic, political and security variables and the extent of their expected impact on the Iraqi economy.

And with a close eye to the challenges and crises that the national economy has gone through, influenced by the economic crises that the major economic countries have suffered from, and the strategic conflicts between America and China, and the bias of some countries towards the American strategy to lead the world economically, and other countries moving towards the strategy of China and some emerging countries to establish a new international economic pole to confront American hegemony.

One of the most prominent consequences of this conflict is the global energy and food crisis, which has lasted for more than a decade and continues to plague countries with weak, poor, and rentier economies, preventing them from making a structural and comprehensive transition to emerging economies capable of withstanding the impacts of global economic conflicts.

Since mid-June 2014 and until the first quarter of 2020, the Iraqi economy has faced complex and cumulative challenges due to shifts in the global economy, the slowdown in global economic growth due to the US-China conflict, the COVID-19 pandemic, the fight against terrorism, the decline in global oil prices, which reached rates exceeding 70%, and the economic recession. Most countries around the world have been affected by these repercussions, which have had a profound impact on the Iraqi economy. What concerns us is the outcome of these repercussions and the expectations, impacts, and implications for the current economic reality in Iraq in the coming years and until 2030.

In light of the study and analysis, the following can be expected at the level of the global economic system and its repercussions on Iraq:

Firstly, it is expected that the growth rates of the global economy will decline significantly in the American economy and the economies of the European Union countries, China and Russia, but at varying rates. The economic recession will prevail in most countries of the world and this will be reflected in a slowdown in the growth of the gross domestic product by rates ranging between (4-10%) in the Arab oil-producing and non-oil-producing countries, especially after the countries of the geographical region entered new challenges due to the Zionist aggression on Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen.

 This has created a new complex situation that will have negative effects on the national economy.

Secondly, the new global economic order that we expect to emerge in the coming years will inevitably take shape and will be under the clear economic and financial leadership of America and China. The Silk Road will be activated to include the countries through which it was planned to pass to revive their economies and will actually be completed. It is also expected that the development path will be completed and that there will be an important role for Iraq and the countries participating in the project and that this will have positive repercussions on the economy.

Thirdly, the philosophy of economic management will most likely shift from the capitalist market economy to the social market economy currently adopted as a disciplinary ideology, as in China and some other countries around the world. These are just early predictions, and the Arab economy will most likely be subservient to the new, larger and more economically powerful pole.

So what is required of economic decision-makers in Iraq in the face of these developments and changes expected to sweep the world? I see, with a penetrating analytical eye to the current economic reality, that we urgently need radical and comprehensive economic change and reform based on the following key axes:

First: Re-changing the map of national income resources by reducing dependence on oil as the main resource and activating other resources in the coming years to bring them to 30% of the total resources of the general budget.

Second: Radically and comprehensively changing agricultural, industrial, commercial, oil, energy and water policies by relying on local resources to ensure food and water security, encouraging, protecting and supporting local production, and developing programmes and strategies to protect consumers.

Third: Supporting, developing and stimulating the private sector and utilizing its capabilities, potential, capital and investments in building the national economy and involving it in economic decision-making and economic management.

Fourth: Developing clear strategies for coordination between monetary and fiscal policies, formulating clear financial policies, and restoring the foundations for preparing and presenting annual general budgets based on programs rather than items. Reducing the budget deficit to the legally specified percentage of the gross domestic product, as well as reducing domestic borrowing to the lowest possible level and avoiding borrowing from abroad at all.

Fifth: Completing the new methodology adopted by the Central Bank for banking reform and development and digital transformation in all digital fields, with a focus on implementing the Central Bank’s strategy, establishing the financial center, and using artificial intelligence in analyzing, ensuring transparency and accuracy of data for sound economic planning purposes and overcoming the challenges of instability in the financial and monetary systems.

This means developing coordinated and balanced plans to overcome the challenges of monetary policy, the challenges of the deficit in non-oil revenue, the deficit in the balance of payments and the trade balance, and the percentage of contribution of the productive sectors (the real economy) to the gross domestic product link
