Tishwash:  Secret meeting in Istanbul: Washington threatens new financial sanctions on Iraq

An informed source revealed to Al-Mustaqilla that an unannounced meeting was held in Istanbul in recent days, bringing together the Assistant Chairman of the US Federal Reserve and a high-ranking delegation from the Central Bank of Iraq. The source stated that the meeting came at the urgent invitation of the US to discuss critical developments in the file of financial transfers and Iraqi banking transactions.

According to the source, the US side informed the Iraqi delegation that new financial sanctions are under preparation, to be imposed on a number of Iraqi banks and financial institutions, due to what the US side described as "continued violations" in international transfer systems and the failure of some Iraqi entities to comply with international guidelines to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

Direct warnings

The source indicated that the Iraqi delegation received direct warnings of the possibility of freezing additional assets and imposing restrictions on dollar accounts if urgent measures are not taken to regulate the Iraqi financial system and prevent suspicious flows through some Iraqi banks and companies.

A new crisis is looming

These developments come amid escalating tensions between Baghdad and Washington over economic and security issues, most notably restrictions on dollar transfers and US accusations against some Iraqi entities of dealing with entities on sanctions lists.

Observers believe that the new sanctions, if implemented, will deal a severe blow to the Iraqi banking system and could lead to a further deterioration in the value of the dinar and increased pressure on the local market at a time when the Central Bank of Iraq is trying to revive investor confidence and stabilize the exchange rate.

Tishwash:  Iraq's Ambassador to the UAE: The government's engagement in international partnerships strengthens its presence in the energy future.

Iraqi Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Muzaffar Al-Jubouri, affirmed today, Thursday, that Iraq's engagement in international partnerships strengthens its presence in the energy future, noting that the Energy Readiness Report highlights the promising opportunities that Iraq possesses and its position in the regional and international arena, and represents a turning point towards a sustainable energy future .

Al-Jubouri said during the conference to deliver the comprehensive report on the "Energy Transition Assessment in Iraq," which was attended by the correspondent of the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The launch of the Iraq Energy Readiness Report represents the fruit of national efforts and close cooperation with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), to which we express our deep appreciation, both government and experts, for the technical, technical and cognitive support they provided throughout the preparation of this important report, as the energy sector is a fundamental pillar of economic and social development, a key axis for industrial and agricultural growth, and the provision of basic services to citizens ."

He added, "The Energy Readiness Report highlights strengths and challenges and provides realistic recommendations for improving performance and developing the energy sector in Iraq. In this context, integrating renewable energy into the national system is a strategic option to address significant waste, enhance production efficiency, and reduce emissions. Renewable energy technologies emerge as a practical and economic alternative that provides reliable solutions to secure supplies and enhance energy security. It embodies close cooperation with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)," stressing "Iraq's commitment to moving forward on this path in accordance with a development vision that takes into account national interests and enhances its positive engagement in regional and international partnerships ."

He continued: "Iraq's efforts to launch this report began in 2018, and since joining the Iraqi ambassador to the United Arab Emirates in 2021, one of our primary goals has been to closely follow up with relevant authorities to complete it in a way that reflects Iraq's energy landscape and paves the way for a clear strategic vision for energy transformation."

He pointed out that "the Energy Readiness Report represents a milestone in Iraq's path toward a sustainable energy future, as it highlights the extent of the structural challenges facing the national energy system, such as the large gap between production and demand, high technical losses exceeding 50 percent, and the declining contribution of renewable energy, which still represents 2 percent of the primary energy mix ."

Al-Jubouri explained that "the report highlighted the promising opportunities that Iraq possesses, including the abundance of natural resources and the interest of international partners. Iraq has already begun taking strategic steps, represented by the signing of important investment contracts with international and national companies, including Total Energy, Power China, and Acwa Power, in addition to construction and development projects with the Emirati company Masdar, which represent an important addition to the national energy mix."

He explained that "the most prominent feature of this report is its ability to chart a practical path towards a balanced energy future based on sustainability, economic sovereignty, and diversity, linking Iraq's development goals with global transformation paths, thus consolidating its pivotal position in the regional energy landscape and strengthening its presence in maintaining a sustainable energy future at the regional level." He pointed out that "Iraq's engagement in international partnerships strengthens its presence in the energy future ."

He pointed out that "we view this report as a real starting point for a new phase of institutional work in the energy sector, enhancing Iraq's ability to invest its resources and achieve its national aspirations for sustainable development as a first step toward building a future that meets the aspirations of our people and enhances Iraq's position on the national, regional, and international scene ."

Yesterday, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received the Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency, Mr. Francesco La Camera .

During the meeting, according to the statement, the assessment report on the energy transition in Iraq, prepared by the agency in cooperation with Iraqi sectoral bodies, was reviewed. The report serves as a source for identifying national priorities in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency, and will be launched soon .  link

Tishwash:  Defense: Iraq will look different after 100 days

Political advisor Ahmed Talib Al-Difai said on Thursday that Iraq will emerge differently after the parliamentary elections, which are only 100 days away.

Al-Difai said in a statement received by Al-Maalouma Agency, “These elections will produce a new political mentality in Iraq, completely different from the previous ones, in terms of political engagement, which will move from the box of competition for power to the space of construction, development, and the exploitation and maximization of the country’s financial resources.”

He explained that "developments in the regional arena will have clear repercussions on the next parliament, which will be the culmination of the efforts made by previous sessions and the governments that emerged from them, by dealing with them with more realism and rationality, sparing Iraq from all the conflicts taking place in the region."

He pointed out that "after 100 days, the Iraqi citizen will have the upper hand in determining Iraq's fate, and he will be worthy of this task after proving his awareness and concern for his country, which will be at the top of the pyramid of development in the region if its capabilities and resources are exploited."

He stressed that "the next political generation that will be born after 100 days will be the foundation for a new phase from which all youthful energies will launch, carrying new ideas and projects that will place Iraq among the countries of the region."

He stressed the necessity that "the Iraqi citizen, on whose keenness we rely, chooses his correct future by going out after 100 days to choose his representatives and preserves the gains of the political system, the most important pillar of which is the peaceful transfer of power in an atmosphere of expressing opinions."  link

A table issued by the bank showed that fines imposed on banks and financial companies during the past three months, starting in April and ending in June, amounted to 24 billion, 942 million, 377 thousand, and 239 dinars, a decrease compared to the first three months of the current year, when penalties amounted to 41 billion, 268 million, 578 thousand, and 75 dinars.

Gold Declines As Dollar Recovers

Stock Exchange  Gold prices fell in trading on Friday, July 25, affected by a recovering dollar and signs of progress in trade negotiations between the United States and the European Union, which reduced demand for safe havens.

Spot gold fell 1% to $3,335.45 per ounce, but remains up about 0.4% since the beginning of the week. US gold futures also fell 0.8% to $3,345.20.

The dollar index recovered from its lowest level in more than two weeks, making the precious metal more expensive for holders of other currencies, while benchmark 10-year US Treasury yields rose.

"The agreement reached by Japan is significant, and there is hope for a deal between the US and the EU before the August 1 deadline. This weakens demand for safe havens, as increased risk appetite pushes capital towards riskier assets," said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals analyst at Zaner Metals.

Two European diplomats reported that the United States and the European Union are close to concluding a trade agreement that could include imposing a general 15% tariff on European goods, following Washington's agreement with Japan.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit new record highs on Thursday, as investors' risk appetite improved amid signs of easing trade tensions.

US data showed an unexpected drop in unemployment claims last week, indicating a stable labor market despite a slowdown in hiring.

The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at its meeting on July 29 and 30, while markets are pricing in a rate cut in September. Other precious metals performance:
Silver fell 0.4% to $38.91 per ounce, heading for a weekly gain of 2%.
Platinum fell 1.6% to $1,229.94.  Palladium rose 0.9% to $1,238.73. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=57878

Government Advisor: Baghdad's Global Gold City Project Will Contribute To Diversifying Income

Economy | 02:50 - 07/26/2025  Mawazine News - Baghdad -  The Financial Advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed today, Saturday, that the International Gold City project in Baghdad will contribute to diversifying income and shifting from consumption to production and export.

Salih said in a statement to the official agency, followed by Mawazine News, that "the International Gold City in Baghdad is a development platform for maximizing value and stimulating the economy, as the International Gold City project in Baghdad represents a qualitative shift in Iraq's economic vision."

He indicated that "the project is not limited to aesthetic or commercial dimensions, but rather is a strategic development engine within the framework of a national approach that includes diversifying sources of income and strengthening Iraq's position in regional value chains, especially in highly profitable handicraft industries."

He explained that "the Ministerial Council for the Economy recently approved the project, as an initiative aimed at transforming the capital, Baghdad, into a regional center for the gold and jewelry industry and trade, based on Iraq's pivotal geographical location and rich historical legacy in handicrafts and precious metals."

He added, "The city will host goldsmith factories, advanced production workshops, marketing and vocational training centers, as well as specialized laboratories for testing gold and precious metals and ensuring their quality. This will contribute to regulating the market, governing trade exchange, and protecting national wealth from smuggling and loss of value."

He revealed that, "The project is expected to be established in the capital, Baghdad, in an area close to commercial and industrial activity centers, ensuring effective logistical connectivity and serving local and regional investment and distribution. The project also represents a unique opportunity to employ thousands of young Iraqis, especially skilled craftsmen, by providing sustainable job opportunities in a promising sector."

He continued, "The project will enable Iraq to transform from a mere gold consumer market to a value-added production and export center. In addition, the project is a strategic step towards reducing dependence on oil and diversifying the national production base by investing in the latent potential of small and medium-sized industries with a craft and cultural character, linked to deep cultural roots."

He pointed out that "the Global Gold City project falls within the framework of the Iraqi government's vision and economic program to stimulate the private sector, stimulate local manufacturing, and integrate the Iraqi economy with its regional and international environment, thus enhancing financial stability and generating new sources of income based on knowledge, creativity, and craftsmanship." https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=264261

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

India Backs Away From BRICS Currency, Reinforces Commitment to the US Dollar

• India’s central bank dismisses BRICS currency progress, calls the USD indispensable.
• Comments seen as a strategic pivot to secure U.S. trade ties and avoid Trump’s proposed tariffs.
• India balances rupee promotion with firm support for the existing dollar-based global system.

RBI Governor Rejects BRICS Currency Momentum

In a pointed departure from the BRICS de-dollarization agenda, India’s Reserve Bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra downplayed the viability of a shared BRICS currency, while openly affirming the enduring dominance of the U.S. dollar in global trade.

“As of now, there is not much work happening on a BRICS currency,” Malhotra said in an interview with The Times of India, noting that the dollar remains an “universal cross-border currency” that is not going away anytime soon.

His remarks, delivered just days after the BRICS 2025 Summit, signal a significant policy stance from one of the group’s most influential economies.

India Distances Itself From De-Dollarization Push

The RBI’s public comments come at a time when China and Russia have aggressively promoted local-currency trade and alternatives to the dollar—moves interpreted by Western analysts as an effort to weaken U.S. financial hegemony.

India, however, appears to be taking a moderated position:

• Promoting local currency trade, particularly the rupee,

• Avoiding full-scale de-dollarization,

• And differentiating its policy from China’s yuan-based ambitions.

“It takes years, it takes decades for local currencies to gain popularity,” Malhotra said. “The dollar is going to be here for a longish time.”

Geopolitical Timing: India Shields Itself From Tariffs

Observers suggest India’s rhetoric is partly aimed at avoiding U.S. tariff threats from former President Donald Trump, who has openly warned countries against abandoning the dollar.

Following the BRICS summit, Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods, signaling a willingness to punish BRICS members seen as challenging U.S. financial dominance. India’s pivot, therefore, may be designed to keep U.S. trade ties intact and protect its export economy.

“India is seeking to dodge Trump’s tariffs,” Bloomberg reported. “Officials in New Delhi are informing U.S. authorities that they do not intend to undermine the greenback.”

Internal Balancing Act: Rupee Promotion Without De-Dollarization

While distancing itself from a BRICS reserve currency, India remains open to settling bilateral trade in local currencies, especially in deals with South Asia, Africa, and parts of the Middle East. This approach boosts rupee internationalization without directly challenging the dollar-based system.

The strategy:

• Encourages regional economic integration,

• Supports domestic growth targets,

• Avoids confrontation with the U.S.

India's dual approach allows it to remain a BRICS member while maintaining trade and diplomatic alignment with Washington.

U.S.–India Trade Alliance: A Strategic Priority

The pivot appears to be paying dividends diplomatically. U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance recently praised India’s economic growth and partnership potential:

“The fate of the 21st century is going to be determined by the strength of the United States and India partnership.”

Meanwhile, Indian negotiators are continuing dialogues on trade concessions with the U.S., signaling that New Delhi sees long-term opportunity in siding with the dollar-based system rather than challenging it via the BRICS framework.

Conclusion: India Reshapes BRICS Alignment for Strategic Gains

India’s decision to publicly downplay the BRICS currency and support the U.S. dollar is more than a monetary policy signal—it’s a geopolitical maneuver. In distancing itself from the yuan-led de-dollarization campaign, India is protecting trade access, strengthening bilateral ties, and securing its place in the evolving U.S.-led financial order.

With Trump’s tariff policy back in motion and tensions within BRICS growing, New Delhi is reasserting its independence—not by exiting the bloc, but by choosing balance over confrontation.

The Dollar Is Doomed & Most Will Realize Too Late | Alasdair Macleod

Liberty and Finance:  7-25-2025

Dunagun Kaiser and Alasdair MacLeod discuss the current state and future outlook of precious metals like gold and silver in contrast to fiat currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar.

MacLeod emphasizes that gold and silver are undervalued, especially when measured against a basket of industrial metals over the long term, suggesting significant potential for appreciation.

He explains that fiat currencies are losing purchasing power, a reality often recognized first by foreigners and last by domestic users who are accustomed to measuring wealth in their national currency.

The conversation also touches on new U.S. legislation, like the Genius Act, which promotes stablecoins backed by U.S. Treasury bills, while banning central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), a move MacLeod believes undermines the global CBDC concept.

Ultimately, they advocate for physical assets as a safeguard against the ongoing debasement of credit-based fiat currencies, urging individuals to understand these shifts for personal financial preservation.

Gold Telegraph: New Global Currency of Power

7-26-2025

The President of the United States says: “I’m the person that likes a strong dollar, but a weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money.”

Very interesting…

Real power isn’t printed. It is mined, harvested, and refined. Financial dominance can be forced. But resource independence must be earned.

True sovereignty means being self-sufficient in energy, food, and critical elements in today’s multipolar world. That’s the new global currency of power.

The President just said it: “You make a hell of a lot more with a weaker dollar.”

That’s fiat currency in a nutshell… devalue to survive. But over time, currencies don’t float… They sink to zero against gold. The only true, sound money.

BREAKING NEWS: THE US TREASURY DEPARTMENT IS NOW ACCEPTING VENMO AND PAYPAL PAYMENTS FROM THOSE WHO WANT TO DONATE MONEY TO REDUCE THE NATION’S $36.7 TRILLION DEBT.

You are reading this right.

“Critics have questioned the value of individual donations toward the national debt…”

Source: https://nypost.com/2025/07/25/business/venmo-paypal-users-can-help-us-government-pay-down-36-7t-debt/

It’s interesting to watch the negotiations between the United States and Japan unfold, especially considering how much American debt Japan holds. At one point, Japan hinted that U.S. Treasuries could be a “card” in trade talks. They have walked it back But the signal was clear.

The Treasury Secretary of the United States says the Federal Reserve is losing a $100 BILLION a year and it’s time for an internal review.

Change is coming… Have a good weekend.

Iraq Secures All Internal Oil Pipelines.

Energy   Economy News – Baghdad  The Ministry of Interior's Energy Police Directorate confirmed on Friday that all oil pipelines inside Iraq have been secured, while explaining the use of advanced technologies to monitor them.

Director General of the Energy Police Directorate, Dhafer Al-Hussaini, said, "The oil derivatives transport lines are fully secured from south to north."

He added that "all oil pipelines are protected by patrols and ambushes, in addition to the presence of thermal cameras and drones used to enhance protection," stressing that "oil is secure throughout Iraqi territory."

The Energy Police Directorate previously announced the adoption of strict new measures to monitor the movement of petroleum tankers, noting that tracking devices have been installed on 80% of the tankers.

The directorate's director general, Major General Dhafer Al-Hussaini, said, "The Energy Police, in cooperation with the Ministry of Oil, have begun implementing a container tracking system. This is a modern technical procedure that involves installing a tracking device in each tanker. This device is linked to a special program supervised by an operations room at the Ministry of Oil. This program has also been provided to checkpoints spread throughout Iraq."

He added, "The new system allows users to identify the location of the tanker's loading, the condition of the container, the vehicle's route, and all related information, which has significantly contributed to accelerating and facilitating audit procedures and preventing forgery or tampering with documents."

He pointed out that "approximately 80% of tankers in Iraq, both private and government, have been fitted with tracking devices, while 10% have completed their procedures and are awaiting their turn to have the device installed. The remaining percentage is in the process of completing the procedures." https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=57866

Government Measures To Reduce Unfair Competition And Support Local Industry

Money and Business  Economy News – Baghdad  The Ministry of Commerce announced on Friday government measures to reduce unfair competition and support local industry.

Ministry spokesman Mohammed Hanoun said, "The government is working to re-evaluate previous decisions related to protecting local products, by reviewing customs duties imposed on imported goods and updating the reference prices used in customs valuation."

He explained that "the aim of this measure is to ensure that customs tariffs are consistent with current economic realities and to enhance the protection of local products from unfair competition, particularly from imported goods that are cheap or subsidized in their countries of origin."

He added, "The decision to review the assessment of customs duties imposed on imported goods will directly contribute to supporting local production by reducing unfair competition, increasing the competitiveness of national products in the Iraqi market, and encouraging local industrial and agricultural investment."

He pointed out that "the measures typically include goods that have a locally produced equivalent within Iraq, such as processed food, agricultural products, electrical and household goods, building materials, clothing, and textiles," noting that "goods that are unavailable or not sufficiently produced locally will not be included in these measures."

Regarding achieving a balance between protecting local products and ensuring consumer interests, Hanoun emphasized that "this will be achieved by imposing carefully considered customs duties that do not significantly raise prices for consumers, adopting updated and fair pricing for goods, supporting local production quality and efficiency, and strictly monitoring markets to prevent manipulation and monopoly."

He pointed out that "the measure will also help curb the smuggling of goods by unifying fees and pricing to reduce the incentives for smuggling, tightening controls at border crossings based on reference prices, and using electronic systems to match shipments, in addition to enhancing cooperation between customs and security and intelligence agencies."

The Council of Ministers had approved in its last session the imposition of an additional customs duty of (40%) of the value of the unit of measurement of the imported product, adhesives for tiles and ceramics, from all sources, for a period of 4 years, and monitoring the local market during the application to verify the impact, and the General Authority of Customs shall apply the additional customs duty for the aforementioned product and notify the Ministry of Industry and Minerals periodically about the quantity of imports, and the decision shall be implemented 120 days after its issuance.

Gold Declines As Dollar Recovers

Stock Exchange  Gold prices fell in trading on Friday, July 25, affected by a recovering dollar and signs of progress in trade negotiations between the United States and the European Union, which reduced demand for safe havens.

Spot gold fell 1% to $3,335.45 per ounce, but remains up about 0.4% since the beginning of the week. US gold futures also fell 0.8% to $3,345.20.

The dollar index recovered from its lowest level in more than two weeks, making the precious metal more expensive for holders of other currencies, while benchmark 10-year US Treasury yields rose.

"The agreement reached by Japan is significant, and there is hope for a deal between the US and the EU before the August 1 deadline. This weakens demand for safe havens, as increased risk appetite pushes capital towards riskier assets," said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals analyst at Zaner Metals.

Two European diplomats reported that the United States and the European Union are close to concluding a trade agreement that could include imposing a general 15% tariff on European goods, following Washington's agreement with Japan.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit new record highs on Thursday, as investors' risk appetite improved amid signs of easing trade tensions. US data showed an unexpected drop in unemployment claims last week, indicating a stable labor market despite a slowdown in hiring.

The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at its meeting on July 29 and 30, while markets are pricing in a rate cut in September. Other precious metals performance:

Silver fell 0.4% to $38.91 per ounce, heading for a weekly gain of 2%.
Platinum fell 1.6% to $1,229.94.  Palladium rose 0.9% to $1,238.73. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=57878

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Saturday Morning 7-26-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Stablecoin Supply Rises by $4B Amid New U.S. Legislation

• Over $4 billion in new stablecoin supply entered circulation in the week following passage of the GENIUS Act.
• Wall Street firms and federally chartered crypto banks are launching compliant fiat-backed stablecoins.
• The U.S. now has a legal framework supporting dollar-pegged digital assets for institutional use.

GENIUS Act Sparks Institutional-Grade Stablecoin Boom

Just days after the United States passed its first comprehensive crypto legislation, the stablecoin market cap surged by more than $4 billion, signaling a pivotal moment in the evolution of digital finance.

The GENIUS Act, signed into law on July 18, establishes a federal framework for fiat-backed stablecoins, giving banks, asset managers, and fintech firms long-awaited legal clarity to enter the space.

For an asset class long mired in regulatory uncertainty—split between SEC scrutiny, CFTC jurisdictional claims, and stalled congressional action—this new law offers a decisive greenlight.

What the GENIUS Act Delivers

The legislation sets clear rules for fiat-backed stablecoin issuers, including:

• 1:1 reserve requirements

• Mandatory independent audits

• Proper licensing under federal standards

The framework was crafted to protect consumers while providing institutional legitimacy—and early signs show the strategy is working.

Anchorage, WisdomTree, and Wall Street Move In

In the immediate aftermath of the bill’s passage:

• Anchorage Digital, the U.S.’s only federally chartered crypto bank, announced a new stablecoin issuance platform in partnership with Ethena Labs. Their upcoming product, USDtb, will fully comply with GENIUS Act standards.

• WisdomTree, a $100B Wall Street asset manager, unveiled USDW, a fiat-backed stablecoin supporting dividend-paying tokenized assets. This makes WisdomTree one of the first traditional financial firms to deploy a regulated stablecoin.

• Bank of America, JPMorgan, and Citigroup have publicly confirmed they are exploring their own GENIUS Act-compliant stablecoins, a sign of mainstream adoption accelerating.

Fiat-Backed Stablecoins Dominate the Market

The new legislation focuses exclusively on fiat-collateralized stablecoins, which currently represent 85% of the market.

• Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USDC remain the two largest players, with a combined market cap exceeding $227 billion.

Unlike algorithmic stablecoins—which lost credibility following Terra’s 2022 collapse—fiat-backed tokens are backed by dollars and U.S. Treasurys, offering a much more stable profile for institutional investors.

Crypto-backed coins like DAI, collateralized by assets such as ETH, continue to operate but play a much smaller role (DAI’s market cap stands at approximately $4.3 billion).

Stablecoins Go Institutional

The $4 billion expansion is not just a market reaction—it’s a structural shift.

Stablecoins are no longer niche crypto products. They’re rapidly evolving into infrastructure-grade instruments used in:

• Dividend distribution

• Cross-border settlement

• Tokenized asset platforms

• Potential integrations with central banks and government systems

Perhaps most importantly, they now enjoy bipartisan support in Congress, transforming a volatile regulatory risk into a national innovation agenda.

Conclusion: A Regulated Future for Digital Dollars

The GENIUS Act represents a major turning point in U.S. crypto policy. For the first time, fiat-backed digital dollars have a federal legal foundation.

With Wall Street entering the market, banks deploying on-chain assets, and startups building compliant platforms, the stablecoin ecosystem is entering a new era—regulated, integrated, and institutional.

El Salvador’s Bitcoin Reserve Fails to Benefit Average Citizens, Says NGO Executive

• Bitcoin is no longer legal tender in El Salvador under IMF agreement terms.
• State-led BTC education efforts have disappeared, according to grassroots NGOs.
• The country’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy may serve government holdings, not public use.

Bitcoin’s Legal Status Quietly Repealed Under IMF Loan Terms

El Salvador’s once-celebrated Bitcoin experiment is under scrutiny again after local nonprofit leaders confirmed that recent policy shifts have removed Bitcoin’s legal tender status—placing its benefits out of reach for the general population.

Quentin Ehrenmann, general manager at My First Bitcoin, a local NGO focused on Bitcoin education, told Reuters that state-backed initiatives to promote Bitcoin have stalled. The shift came after the government signed a loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which required El Salvador to scale back its crypto agenda.

“Since the government entered into this contract with the IMF, Bitcoin is no longer legal tender, and we haven't seen any other effort to educate people,” Ehrenmann explained.
“The government, apparently, continues to accumulate Bitcoin, which is beneficial for the government — it's not directly good for the people.”

IMF Loan Terms Restrict Bitcoin Purchases and Public Involvement

In addition to repealing the legal tender status of Bitcoin in the public sector, the El Salvadoran government also agreed not to purchase any new Bitcoin, a condition confirmed by a recent IMF report.

That finding directly contradicts statements from El Salvador’s Bitcoin Office, which has repeatedly claimed that the country is buying BTC on a daily basis.

In January, the legislature moved to roll back public sector involvement in Bitcoin to remain compliant with the IMF’s financing terms—raising questions about whether El Salvador’s historic crypto-first policy has ended in failure or simply transitioned into a more private, government-controlled strategy.

NGOs and Foreign Journalists Paint a Contrasting Picture on the Ground

Despite the government’s crypto retreat, some Salvadorans and visiting journalists have continued to test Bitcoin’s use in everyday life.

In 2023, Cointelegraph correspondent Joe Hall visited El Salvador and successfully paid for a hostel stay using IBEX Pay, a Bitcoin Lightning Network-based merchant solution. This demonstrates that Bitcoin infrastructure still exists, but adoption is increasingly dependent on private payment providers and NGOs, not state support.

Conclusion: Bitcoin for the State, Not the People?

El Salvador once made global headlines as the first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. But that symbolic move has been quietly reversed under the financial oversight of the IMF.

While the government continues to hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet, the public-facing infrastructure, education programs, and legal framework have receded. That shift has drawn criticism from NGOs and observers who argue that the original promise of financial inclusion through Bitcoin is fading.

With IMF loan compliance now a priority, El Salvador’s crypto strategy appears more centralized, opaque, and removed from public benefit—raising doubts about whether the bold experiment will continue to serve the population it once aimed to empower.

How IOTA Is Quietly Solving the Real Problem in Global Trade with Real-Time Transparency and Feeless Transfers

• IOTA enables real-time customs checks and tamper-proof trade data across borders.
• East African pilot projects cut costs by 30% and sped up exports for smaller traders.
• Feeless architecture and digital audit trails reduce delays, eliminate friction, and increase trust.

The Hidden Bottleneck in Trade: Operational Friction, Not Fraud

Despite decades of technological progress, global trade remains encumbered by slow, fragmented, and paper-based systems. The real challenge isn’t fraud—but friction: missing documentation, slow approvals, and limited transparency.

IOTA, a feeless distributed ledger protocol, is addressing this challenge head-on. Its decentralized infrastructure is now powering real-time trade transparency and instant customs verification—eliminating weeks of delay with a system that charges no fees to participants.

“While others chase speculative hype, IOTA is laying the infrastructure that makes tokenized trade and compliant DePIN a reality,” one user commented on X.

Pilot Programs Deliver Tangible Results in East Africa

Early-stage deployments of IOTA’s Trade and Logistics Information Pipeline (TLIP) in Kenya and neighboring nations have shown measurable impact. Exporters using the system report:

• 30% reduction in costs,

• Significantly faster customs clearance,

• Greater security and trust for small and mid-sized traders.

IOTA’s solution eliminated up to 50% of the logistics gap, helping smaller firms compete on more equal footing.

TWIN Infrastructure Replaces Paperwork with Secure Digital Credentials

The broader initiative, known as the Trade and Logistics Information Network (TWIN), replaces physical documents with digital equivalents, secured by verifiable credentials.

Once implemented, customs forms, invoices, and approvals can be exchanged securely and instantly—removing manual bottlenecks, redundant intermediaries, and national siloing in trade systems.

Nations participating in TWIN trials report:

• Faster inter-agency coordination

• 35% growth in SME export volume

• Cost reductions of up to 80% in certain trade routes (as of June 2025)

Feeless Ledger, Tamper-Proof Audit Trails, and Institutional Partners

IOTA’s Tangle architecture—a feeless distributed ledger—underpins the entire framework. It ensures:

• No transaction fees for end users

• Scalability without congestion

• Tamper-proof data, ideal for trade audits and dispute prevention

Organizations or institutions can sponsor required fees, allowing for sustainable, spam-resistant usage while keeping the network accessible.

The initiative is being coordinated through the TWIN Foundation, in partnership with:

• The Tony Blair Institute,

• TradeMark Africa,

• The Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation,

• The World Economic Forum

Together, they aim to offer a shared, open-source infrastructure for digital trade, especially in developing markets historically excluded from global trade efficiencies.

Token Impact and Analyst Outlook

As of now, the IOTA token (MIOTA) is trading at $0.2080, up 4.6% over 24 hours, with a market cap of $815.4 million.

Recent technical analysis indicates a potential price move mirroring 2020, which could take the asset to $1+—a 300% increase from current levels—should institutional use and protocol adoption continue to expand.

Conclusion: Infrastructure First, Hype Later

While much of the blockchain space focuses on speculation and marketing, IOTA is building the rails of next-generation global trade. Real-world trials in East Africa and Europe show that digital trust, efficiency, and inclusion are no longer just theoretical.

By solving the real problems of global commerce, IOTA is positioning itself not only as a tech innovator, but as a quiet force reshaping how the world moves goods across borders.

How the IQD Could Skyrocket If Allowed to Float.

How Taxes and Gold Reserves Prepare Iraq & Vietnam to Revalue Its Currencies

Taxes keep the country running day to day, and gold protects the country in times of crisis. Vietnam holds about 10 metric tons of gold in its official reserves.

 Iraq holds around 145 metric tons of gold.

The United States is holding approximately 8,133 metric tons.

“BRICS News” From Kinesis Money 7-25-2025

BRICS Tokenizes Gold - LFTV Ep 233

Kinesis Money:  7-25-2025

In this week’s Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire exposes the seismic impact of BRICS quietly reshaping global trade - by bypassing the dollar with tokenised gold, decentralised systems and physical pricing, as Western media turns a blind eye.

With central banks hoarding gold off-market and BRICS-backed blockchain infrastructure enabling instant, tariff-proof settlement, physical supply is draining fast from synthetic markets, exposing the fragility of the West’s paper-driven pricing model.

Russia Dumps Dollars and Builds Alternative Gold Market - The Freedom Report

Kinesis Money:  7-24-2025

In this episode of The Freedom Report, Rob Kientz dives into Russia’s bold moves to reshape the global gold market—nationalizing major mines, launching a competing gold exchange, and ramping up trade with China.

With global distrust in Western gold pricing and increasing signs of de-dollarization, Kientz unpacks how Russia and its allies are leveraging gold to build economic independence and challenge U.S. monetary dominance.

As central banks accelerate domestic gold purchases and local refining capacity expands, a global shift is underway—one that threatens the supremacy of the dollar, the Treasury market, and the Western financial system itself.

For everyday investors, Kientz offers a sobering warning: the world is undeniably moving toward gold. The implications of this paradigm shift are profound, impacting everything from currency valuations to investment portfolios.

Those who ignore this accelerating trend may find themselves left behind in a rapidly evolving financial landscape. The future of global finance, Kientz suggests, could be denominated not in dollars, but in ounces of gold.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 7-24-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 7-24-25  

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call it is Thursday, July 24 and you're listening to the big call. Thanks for tuning in tonight. We've got Sue and I here. Bob will be joining us, hopefully around  9:30 tonight. He's going to attend a high school reunion, his 50th reunion up north, and he's flown up to, well, he's, he's flown to upstate New York, and he'll be checking in with us. From there on remote location tonight. So that's going to be kind of fun that Bob come in, somewhere around 9:30.

Nice time and a nice safe home on Sunday. So very welcome to you in the meantime. All right, Bob, thanks so much for checking in. All right. Bye, bye. All right, Sue, it's that magical time for Intel. It is, and may I just I want to complete. This is a question that came in.

Okay. This is from Regine and she says the speaker said that an irrevocable trust is needed to receive the contracted rate, not a contracted rate for the Zim for the humanitarian project, so that we have to take it to the exchange center to receive these money. Last year. So I heard, do not need any Trump. Could you tell me which of these is true? Okay, for you.

Okay, Sue. That sounds fair. Let me talk about that, and her name is Regine. Yeah, not Regina, okay. Okay, commission. Regine, thank you for your question. Okay, when you say the speaker, are you referring to me? Is she Sue referring to me or somebody else on another call saying that you needed an irrevocable in order to do your exchange for the contracted rate, which isn't a contractor, and do the virtual, irrevocable trust, no trust. That's all she needs.

 Good, okay, thank you, Sue. That's great. That's a good question. Like, Sue just said, there is no contract rate on the zim. Whoever put that out? It wasn't me. Okay. There's no contract rate on the Zim. The only currency remember, the Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe dollar is really being treated as a bearer bond. You're redeeming your Zim. You're exchanging your other currencies, if you have them.

Now, the contract rate is referring to the dinar. That's the Iraqi dinar, okay, and that contract rate is a very high rate. And you can, if you're not offered that rate, you can ask them for the contract rate, and you're not under a contract with it. It was a rate that was contracted for the Zim by President Trump, so that I didn't mean for the dinar, excuse me for the dinar by President Trump, and it's about getting the best rate, awesome possible that President Trump wants us to get for The dinar.

Now. Trust, no. Trust. Revocable, irrevocable. Trust. They would prefer if you had a trust, it can be revocable. It can be revocable. It depends on what your attorney has worked out with you or your trust people have worked out for you. They prefer if you have that to come in to the redemption center with it, which I have – Sue has - we're going into the redemption center with our trust paperwork.

Okay, now, if you don't have it, they would like you to get a trust, especially if you're Zim holder, because we're talking a lot money, a lot and as you guys know, if you have zim, you know, even if you have dinarr or dong, or Rupiah money, or any number of the currencies that are going up in values, But the point is this, they would like you to get a trust as soon as you can get it, and they'll be able to assist you in getting one or setting up an Attorney for you if you don't find your own trust attorney or your own well, law office to do this type of work.

Fortunately, I have an attorney that's a good friend, and we've already done it. We did it a couple, well, I guess about three, four years ago. So I'm all set from that aspect, but you guys, should, you know, get that done. If you don't have a trust already, you should get one and get it done shortly after your exchange.

You do not have that trust to do your exchange, but the exchange proceeds that go into your quantum account would need to be in your name, because you don't have a trust name or an LLC name or anything set up yet. Use a trust as your umbrella for everything that you're doing, as a master trust for everything that you're doing, did that answer the question sufficiently  Sue?

 I think it did. I have one more question. This is a really good one. I’m going to read it and answer it. And then you answer it. Okay, so mining, do we need to identify the system, med, bed, 100 program all 6 people, we are recommending first med beds immediately, or can we turn their names in later?

 I think for some of my potential recommendations, it will be easier to persuade them to use the med if they see the results from me first . So I don’t have that many people but I'm going to pretend I do and I would ask at the time of my exchange tell them I was going to use the med bed -  and that is for you, Harry, that I was intending to bring  or introduce six individuals to the med beds and how that works, number one, but I will be using the full six recommendations, and I would just let it be known and ask them if there's anything else that they need from me.

Don't have to give names right away, necessarily, but just say I will utilizing that and exercising that. I'm going to go in first, and that's how I would approach it. Take it away, Bruce

 That's a good answer, Sue, and I've got a very good question. Really. I have some people that are not even in the currencies  a few. And there's one guy I want to get in the med bed I wanted, but he wants to see me after I come out.

 He wants to see and I think his jaw drop, as a lot of people will, and, you know, but I do plan to put his name and phone number on my list, because he's older and he's in great shape. But you know, the way things are, you never know. And he's a good friend, and I think he's pretty much agreed principle that he wants to do it. Yes, but I would say, Look at your own list, Pick people that are dire need their Zim holders, great.

You know, dire need  gets first priority with them, then just list those people. And if there are people that aren't convinced until they see you after the med bed that's fine. That's fine. But this is you'll see the only thing is, this is your one chance to put those people's names and phone numbers -

 Here's something interesting that is coming up because of Harry's question - here's some zim  holders, and they're looking to us to recommend, because of the quality of people that we are, the people that should have access to those med beds because of you, Harry, I'm going to do is I'm going to say I have this one individual.

This is what I'm going to do because, because we can, I have this one individual. This is who I'd like to get. And I would like to request that if I come across the five other individuals, they will also gain access to that. And I have it be known that six people may be through me may be going to the med beds.

That's a way for a group of people that are listening to this right now, who may just have one person to be the advocates for people they may run across in the next year or whatever. And that helps the system that helps the med beds, and not when you're available. Okay, good questions, too.

Thank you, Harry. To the way I can fill my list, and I've got plenty of people to do that with, but I think there's time or whatever, but they want us to recommend six or up to six, up to six people, because they figure like, Okay, if you're qualified as a zim holder and you've got some need and you go in to the med bed, then you are recommending somebody by personal referral.

You're making a personal referral of a person that you know and that goes a long way  to getting them to be invited quote, unquote, into your recommendation. And that counts you. In this case, you know, it's not just pulling somebody in off the street that you've never known. These are people that you know you have some kind of a relationship with, and like Sue talked about in her segment tonight, it's about relationship.

This is an example of a relationship of a friend or a family member that you know that needs to get in and out of that med bed. So I hope that answered the question for Harry. Sue, your answer? My answer, okay, anything else that's out there? Anything else? Both questions. Thank you, Sue.

All righty, now let's talk about where we are now in relationship to us getting our notifications. There are meetings currently going on over the next several days, and these are high, high quality meetings. Our top people, including President Trump's, involved.

Our top financial people, I would think our military, some generals, are really involved. It's a good sized group, and they are determining, right now, as far as the latest update I had today, they're determining when to let the notification well, and they're trying to decide whether to let that happen, either Monday or Tuesday. On our notifications for tier 4b Monday or Tuesday.

And it could be notifications for everybody, meaning bond holders in tier three, tier 4A groups and other groups in that same time, and then us in 4b the Internet Group, which is the largest group of the public, maybe not, but they're going to let us know on that.

Well, I don't know that. I'll know. I may know before Monday or Tuesday, but we're supposed to decide on Monday or Tuesday this coming Monday Tuesday on our notifications, and then we would go, most likely, the next day.

 If we got notified Monday afternoon, we'd probably start on Tuesday. If we got notified Tuesday morning, we probably still start on Tuesday for our exchanges and our redemption of zim. Okay, that's pretty much where that is.

Let's see what else is important to what we have. I think that is the crux of what we're all waiting for Sue -  I think that's everything we want to hear about in a nutshell.

 I can tell you Iraq is going to bring out a new right Sunday, and we'll find out about it on the Forex after 5PM Eastern and our banks and redemption centers will have it on their screens probably Monday morning.

What about the EBS? What about the ED thing? Well, what?

Okay, let's get into this. I can't speak to the use of the EBS itself, but I can tell you that we've got NESARA and GESARA starting with Guess what? The first two pieces of NESARA are going to be, DOGE . DOGE payments, August, 1st  2nd 3rd , and R &R restitution, reconciliation, allowance, R & R.

 And that RNR will happen for us that are currency holders when we go to the redemption center. It will be in our quantum account already  and we'll find that out as we activate our quantum card, that's when we'll see how much our R and R is. But you're going to get your DOGE alphabetically based on where your last name fits in the alphabet. In either the first, if it's early in the alphabet, if it's middle of the alphabet, it would be on the second of August, which is Sunday and the third, if I got that right, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Sunday would be the last, or the third would be end of the Okay, so that will determine, and those will be By direct deposit, and there'll be substantial DOGE payments, and they are so be higher, very high, and that will be something that we'll get at the redemption center.

So in August, we get DOGE first three days, is what I’m hearing, first three days, August, 1, second or third. And we get increase in Social Security. If you're on Social Security, you'll get an increase in the amount been receiving, and it'll be a pretty nice increase. Now, of all the things that we're doing, it's the least important importance. The biggest, of course, would be especially if you're redeeming Zem. Second biggest could be Doge, or it could be R & R cause there are so many variables on the R & R, so many different variables, but it'd be substantial, and parts of Nasara are going to come out first.

Now you about this,NESARA  coming out by the end of the first week in August or the second week - That's where they might talk about the changes in taxation, the changes in no more, for example, no more real estate taxes. You know what I mean, a personal preference, personal have something about the, you know, income tax going away. I think it's all going to come out somewhere between the first week in August and probably the end of November. That's what I'm today.

So we'll see how it all comes out. It's going to be kind of neat. I think it's going to be amazing. And I'm excited about that for not just for us, but for everybody, and especially people that aren't even in the currencies. You know, they don't have any currency, but they're still, especially if they're older, they're going to get a lot of money in the dose payments penalty are if they pay taxes, if they paid a lot of interest on a mortgage, if they paid interest on a credit card, if they paid our loans, those are probably the four big parts of it.

You add to that your birth certificate, money. If you had a divorce, there's big, tradable current bond there. If you had a death, there's something there. And what's the other one? I'm forgetting, marriage, divorces, what do you think? What do you think? No, I'm talking about a separate, separate bond, tradable thing like birth certificate.

Oh, Birth Certificate, death certificate, and divorce, divorce to get one. There's there, there's all of that, those, those four things were created on us as bonds for certificate, death certificate. Child, oh, boy, don't ask me that I know. Child, you know, I'm not sure how that's going to work.

Hi, Henry, good to hear you. Good here from Henry. Got plans for you, Henry, North Carolina, part of the initial team will help on rebuild and all that sounds coming from? Where? From YouTube, from you and your pod recommendation, thank you. Yeah, okay, well, listen, I assume, thank you, Henry.

 I don't know about that one. I think we have to just see what happens. I can't answer that. I don't want to be incorrect on that. It's hard enough for me to try to correct on all the other stuff. I think I know guys, we're in a good time. We should have a very good, enjoyable weekend, and we should be looking forward to and they're gonna Okay.

The other thing is, on Sunday night, going to do the testing. They're calling triggers, but I think of them more as a test on cell phones, on internet, also on the StarLink Satellite  system, so they're just final test protocols that they're getting ready before they release emails to us, Monday or Tuesday when I have a feeling it'll be Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning when it's exchanges starting Tuesday, but they're going to determine that and make that decision by Sunday. So I think we all should be a little bit excited

We got a really cool revelation, and Sue doesn't even know what it is yet, so I'm excited about it. I think it's gonna work out really well. So I want to say, Guys, it's been great. I don't know. Let's see Tuesday season. Maybe I think we'll plan to have a celebration call. So check back in when it's Tuesday night.

Let's go ahead and pray the call out -  I want to thank Sue very much for helping me host the call tonight, as she has done for the last years, and Bob as well for checking in tonight, upstate New York, Geneva, New York, and they don't talk like that up there. I'm disappointed. And I like to you know Pastor Scott and Jeannie DC K the satellite team, the getting signal out all over the globe. And of course, our intel sources. Thank you for following this faithfully over the last 14 years. So let's do this, guys, let's pray, love.  Turn off the recording.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

India Confirms BRICS De-Dollarization Efforts Despite Trump’s Pressure

• India acknowledges that BRICS nations are actively exploring alternatives to the U.S. dollar for cross-border trade and settlement.
• Despite Trump's 10% tariff threats, discussions on local currency usage and interoperable BRICS payment systems continue.
• India walks a diplomatic tightrope—welcoming diversified monetary systems while rejecting a BRICS common currency.

India Confirms Currency Shift Talks Underway

India has formally confirmed that BRICS nations are advancing talks on mutual trade settlements using local currencies and interoperable cross-border payment systems—initiatives seen by many as stepping stones toward de-dollarization. Officials say these discussions are progressing despite strong opposition and tariff threats from the United States under President Trump.

At a recent press briefing, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal explained:

“We had a highly successful BRICS summit… In the joint statement, there are several aspects that have been fleshed out that strengthen the BRICS platform… Cross-border payments, yes, BRICS have talked about local currencies, but de-dollarisation is not something that is there on the agenda.”

This clarification shows India’s nuanced position: While it supports greater monetary autonomy for BRICS countries, it resists the idea of completely replacing the U.S. dollar or launching a common BRICS currency—at least for now.

Trump’s Threats Complicate BRICS Coordination

The Trump administration’s renewed tariff threats have escalated tensions within the BRICS alliance. President Trump recently warned of 10% tariffs on nations engaging in policies aimed at reducing dependence on the U.S. dollar. The comments came shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed the creation of a new BRICS investment platform—an initiative seen as a vehicle for financial independence.

Trump called such actions “anti-American”, and pledged steep economic penalties on countries adopting them.

India’s Strategic Position: Realism Over Revolution

India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar offered a cautious counterpoint:

“India has never been for de-dollarization. Right now, there is no proposal to have a BRICS currency.”

While India has experimented with rupee-based trade settlements—particularly with sanctioned nations like Russia—the volatility of the rupee and its depreciation (from ₹73 to ₹85 per USD over the past five years) makes a larger move toward de-dollarization risky. India’s leadership is deeply aware that currency instability, Western capital dependencies, and technological reliance make total decoupling from the dollar unfeasible in the near term.

Moreover, policymakers are wary of rising Chinese influence within the BRICS framework—particularly via yuan-settled trade and the New Development Bank.

The Reality of Global Trade Flows

While the dollar still accounts for 54% of international trade, the landscape is shifting. Over 50 nations now conduct trade in yuan, rupees, and rubles, signaling a global trend toward currency diversification—even if the U.S. dollar remains dominant.

India’s approach aligns with gradual diversification, not a wholesale monetary revolution. Rather than pushing for a BRICS currency or direct confrontation with the dollar, Indian officials are opting for “practical collaboration”—focusing on bilateral and multilateral trade mechanisms that reduce visible dollar dependence while maintaining Western financial and technological ties.

Conclusion: India Balances Between East and West

India’s position within the BRICS de-dollarization dialogue reflects the complex geopolitics of the global economy. While aligned with BRICS in diversifying global finance, India remains strategically committed to economic pragmatism, carefully navigating between Trump-era tariff threats, Western capital inflows, and China’s growing influence.

India's message is clear: It supports a more balanced global monetary system, but not at the cost of financial stability or strategic autonomy.
