Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Afternoon 8-7-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Bank of England Expected to Cut Interest Rate to 4.0% Despite Rising Inflation

  • BoE expected to cut rates from 4.25% to 4.0%

  • UK inflation accelerates, while growth continues to contract

  • GBP/USD at risk of falling toward August lows near 1.3140

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Bank of England Expected to Cut Interest Rate to 4.0% Despite Rising Inflation

  • BoE expected to cut rates from 4.25% to 4.0%

  • UK inflation accelerates, while growth continues to contract

  • GBP/USD at risk of falling toward August lows near 1.3140

The Bank of England (BoE) is poised to announce a 25-basis-point interest rate cut on Thursday, reducing the benchmark rate from 4.25% to 4.0%, according to growing market consensus. Analysts expect that seven out of nine Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members will vote in favor of the cut, up from just three in the previous meeting.

The decision will be accompanied by the meeting Minutes and the Monetary Policy Report, offering insight into the BoE’s updated economic outlook and inflation projections. Following the announcement, Governor Andrew Bailey is scheduled to deliver a press conference outlining the rationale behind the rate cut and potentially signaling the bank’s future policy trajectory.

Economic Backdrop: A Conflicting Picture

The BoE last held rates steady in June. At that time, three MPC members cited:

  • Weakened labor market conditions

  • Subdued consumer demand

  • Wage growth trending toward sustainable levels

Since then, economic indicators have continued to show strain:

  • UK GDP contracted 0.1% MoM in May, following a 0.3% contraction in April

    • Production output fell 0.9%

    • Construction output declined 0.6%

    • Services output rose slightly by 0.1%

These figures paint a troubling picture of a slowing UK economy, just ahead of the Q2 GDP estimate set for release on August 14.

Inflation Rebounds—Complicating the BoE’s Dilemma

Despite declining growth, inflation rose sharply in June:

  • Headline CPI climbed to 3.6% YoY, up from 3.4% in May

  • Core CPI increased to 3.7% YoY, from 3.5%

  • Services inflation held steady at 4.7%, with food prices showing their biggest jump since February 2024

Meanwhile, labor market conditions continue to loosen, with the unemployment rate climbing to 4.7% in April, from 4.4% at the start of the year.

As the central bank weighs slowing growth against persistent inflationary pressures, Governor Bailey recently reiterated:

“I really do believe the path is downward”—referring to interest rates.

Revised Economic Forecasts Expected

Analysts anticipate that the BoE may:

  • Upgrade inflation projections due to sticky services inflation and rising food prices

  • Downgrade growth expectations, reflecting weak consumer demand and broad-based output declines

Market Reaction: GBP/USD Faces Downside Risk

Ahead of the announcement, GBP/USD is trading just above 1.3300, struggling to extend gains. The central bank’s split vote and cautious tone are expected to exert downward pressure on the British Pound.

According to Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXStreet:

“The GBP/USD pair hovers around its weekly peak in the 1.3330 region, without any technical sign of additional gains ahead.”

She continues:

“The pair could turn bullish only if it breaks above 1.3400, an unlikely scenario given the expected BoE announcement. On the downside, watch the 1.3250 support—if breached, GBP/USD could target the August low at 1.3141.”

Conclusion

The Bank of England faces a complex policy crossroads: inflation is rising, but growth is faltering. While a rate cut appears imminent, the communication strategy and vote split may be the biggest market movers. The fate of the GBP/USD pair hangs in the balance, with downside risks mounting unless the BoE delivers a surprisingly hawkish outlook.

Canada & Mexico to Join BRICS? The Fall of the US Dollar in 2024?

  • Exploring BRICS Expansion in the Western Hemisphere

  • Mexico formally declines BRICS membership

  • Canada remains silent on BRICS engagement

  • Is the US Dollar's global dominance at risk?

Potential Expansion of BRICS: An Analysis of Canada and Mexico’s Involvement

The BRICS bloc—originally composed of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—has been rapidly expanding. In August 2023, the alliance extended invitations to several countries, five of which officially joined in 2024. This growth has sparked speculation about whether Western-aligned nations, including Canada and Mexico, could eventually pivot toward BRICS, potentially accelerating dedollarization efforts worldwide.

Mexico’s Stance on Joining BRICS

Speculation surrounding Mexico’s potential entry into BRICS intensified in mid-2023, ahead of the bloc’s August summit. However, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador publicly refuted such claims, affirming that Mexico would not seek membership in the alliance. The decision aligned with Mexico’s longstanding trade, economic, and geopolitical ties with the United States under frameworks such as USMCA.

Canada’s Position Regarding BRICS

In contrast to Mexico, Canada has made no official statements regarding BRICS membership. To date, there have been no public discussions, diplomatic engagements, or policy shifts that indicate Canadian interest in aligning with the BRICS bloc. Canada remains a core member of Western institutions such as the G7NATO, and the OECD, further reinforcing its alignment with the existing US-led financial order.

Will Canada and Mexico Join BRICS?

Based on current geopolitical alignments, it appears highly unlikely that either Canada or Mexico would pursue BRICS membership in the near term—particularly with the explicit goal of weakening or replacing the US Dollar. While 2023 saw increasing concerns over the dollar’s global dominance, including inflationary pressures and internal US political division, both Canada and Mexico remain deeply integrated into the US-centric financial and security architecture.

BRICS’ Aspirations and Western Countries’ Responses

BRICS continues to push for greater economic sovereignty and a shift away from dollar dependency, aiming to promote settlement in local currencies and eventually introduce a shared digital or commodities-backed currency. These efforts have been well-received in parts of the Global South and among energy-exporting nations seeking alternatives to SWIFT and IMF dollarization structures.

Yet, the idea that NATO-aligned nations such as Canada and Mexico would join this movement remains speculative at best. Their participation in the US-led global order, access to Western capital markets, and dependence on the North American economic ecosystem make BRICS membership both politically improbable and economically costly.

Conclusion: Realignment or Rhetoric?

Despite BRICS’ expansion and continued calls for monetary multipolarity, neither Canada nor Mexico are expected to deviate from their current trajectories. While the US Dollar faces challenges, its foundational role in global trade, reserves, and institutional finance still ensures that Western partners remain tethered—for now.

As BRICS gains more influence in the Global South, 2024 will be a year to watch—but expectations of Western defection to the bloc remain premature.

BRICS to Discuss Joint Response to Trump’s Tariffs

  • Lula calls out Trump’s “unilateralism” and threat to multilateral trade

  • BRICS members may coordinate action in response to rising tariffs

  • Brazil, India, and China seek a unified strategy to limit U.S. economic pressure

Lula Urges BRICS Coordination Amid Rising U.S. Tariffs

The BRICS bloc—comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—is preparing to discuss a coordinated response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s escalating tariff threats. The initiative comes directly from Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who criticized Trump’s approach to international trade as a deliberate attempt to undermine multilateral institutions.

“What President Trump is doing is tacit — he wants to dismantle multilateralism, where agreements are made collectively within institutions, and replace it with unilateralism, where he negotiates one-on-one with other countries,” Lula told Reuters.

President Lula stated that he would initiate conversations with fellow BRICS leaders, beginning with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, followed by China’s President Xi Jinping and others. His goal: to understand how each nation is affected by the U.S. measures and to formulate a joint response.

“I’m going to try to discuss with them about how each one is doing in this situation, what the implications are for each country, so we can make a decision.”

Where BRICS Tariffs Currently Stand

  • U.S.–Brazil Tariffs: Currently at 50%

  • India Tariffs: Increased today by 25%, now totaling 50%

  • China–U.S. Tariffs: Paused for now

  • Russia Tariffs: Above 30%

  • Canada Tariffs: Recently raised to 35%

  • EU Goods: Settled at a new 15% tariff

Trump has recently labeled the BRICS alliance as “anti-American”, issuing public threats to impose an additional 10% blanket tariff on bloc members. Some individual BRICS nations, notably India and China, have explored bilateral deals with the U.S. to mitigate tariff effects. However, growing pressure may force a unified BRICS front to resist escalating U.S. protectionism.

Brazil’s Leadership Role in BRICS Response

President Lula emphasized that Brazil currently holds the BRICS presidency, granting it a leading role in shaping the bloc’s diplomatic and economic posture. In his interview, he expressed concern not just over tariffs, but over Trump’s broader agenda to dismantle multilateral norms:

“I want to discuss with our allies why Trump is attacking multilateralism and what his goals may be.”

Notably, Lula did not reference any intention to engage Trump directly as part of this initiative, suggesting that the response will remain within the BRICS framework for now.

The Bigger Picture: Trump’s Tariff Offensive

In recent days, President Trump has accelerated a wave of protectionist trade measures as part of his self-imposed tariff deadline. These include:

  • 35% tariffs on Canadian imports

  • 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods

  • 15% settled tariffs on EU exports

All of this appears to be part of a broader realignment of U.S. trade policy aimed at strengthening leverage ahead of key diplomatic deadlines.

Conclusion: BRICS Eyes a Coordinated Strategy

The growing web of tariffs has created significant uncertainty for global markets and placed BRICS nations on alert. As Lula takes steps to convene the bloc’s leadership, the prospect of a cohesive BRICS economic strategy—and possibly retaliatory action—marks a pivotal moment in the evolving U.S.–BRICS relationship.

Al-Alaq said, during the "Comprehensive Transformation of Electronic Payment" conference, that "digitalization is no longer a luxury option, but rather a strategic necessity for building a modern state and a diversified economy, and achieving transparency in service provision."

He stressed that "Iraq has a historic opportunity to make up for lost time and launch a new vision to combat corruption and stimulate investment."

He explained that the Central Bank is working to develop an integrated and secure payment system that meets the highest international standards and enhances the efficiency of financial transactions, in cooperation with the government and within national initiatives that include salary localization, electronic immunization, and development financing programs.

Tishwash:  Iraq's Bank Restructuring Project: Commit, Merge, or Liquidate!

The Iraqi banking sector is witnessing an unprecedented transformation with the launch of a comprehensive reform project led by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), in collaboration with the global firm Oliver Wyman.

 The project aims to restructure the banking system and raise its efficiency in line with international best practices. The plan, which extends until 2028, seeks to reorganize the status of private banks and determine their future within the market through clear and well-defined paths.

Economic expert Abdul Rahman Al-Shaikhly said, "The Iraqi banking system is currently witnessing a broad reform movement aimed at restructuring and organizing it in accordance with international best practices, under the direct supervision and strict oversight of the CBI."

Al-Shaikhly explained in a statement to Al-Mada that "the CBI is adopting a comprehensive reform roadmap extending until early 2028. It is being implemented in semi-annual phases, in cooperation with the global financial consulting firm Oliver Wyman, which has been contracted to undertake the reform and restructuring task."

According to the approved plan, the private banking sector, both commercial and Islamic, is given three basic options to determine its future path within the Iraqi financial system. These are: continuing to operate within the banking system, provided it fully complies with the required regulatory and technical standards; merging with another existing bank; or forming a new banking entity through a union between two or more institutions.

 In addition, the Central Bank imposes non-refundable fees on banks that choose either the continuation or merger options, in exchange for monitoring and implementing reform requirements. The continuation option fee is estimated at $2.4 million annually, while the merger option fee is $1.2 million. Banks that decide to voluntarily withdraw and liquidate are fully exempt from paying any fees.

The new reform project comes amid growing local and international calls to restructure the banking system in Iraq, which has for decades suffered from chronic problems related to weak governance, low financial inclusion rates, and the majority of citizens' reliance on cash transactions outside the formal banking framework.

Iraq has more than 70 banks, including government, private, and Islamic banks. However, a large number of them lack the foundations of modern banking operations and face difficulties in adhering to international standards, particularly those related to combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

This has exposed the country to pressure from international regulatory bodies, such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the International Monetary Fund. The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has launched several initiatives in recent years to stimulate the banking sector, but these have not achieved the desired impact. This prompted it to adopt a comprehensive reform plan in cooperation with the global firm Oliver Wyman, which has experience in reforming banking systems in numerous countries, including Jordan, Egypt, and Greece.

This step is viewed as a serious attempt to break with traditional banking practices that are no longer viable, especially in light of the economic and financial challenges facing the country and the increasing pressure to provide a transparent and efficient financial environment capable of attracting investment and enhancing monetary stability.

In light of these challenges, the Central Bank seeks, through the new project, to redraw the map of the banking sector by granting private banks specific options to continue operating, merge, or voluntarily exit the market. This step aims to liquidate weak entities and strengthen those capable of adhering to the required technical and regulatory standards.  link

Tishwash:  Digital Transformation in Iraq: Confident Steps Towards E-Governance and Combating Corruption

As Iraq began its serious steps toward e-governance, it emerged as a strong competitor in various fields, including tracking dinar movements and combating corruption. These steps reflect a clear government will to bring about a digital transformation that strengthens the economy and serves citizens.

Tasnim International News Agency - As Iraq has taken steps toward e-governance, it has become a strong competitor in several areas, including tracking the movement of the Iraqi dinar and combating corruption.

inancial and economic expert Dr. Safwan Qusay told Tasnim: It is clear that Al-Sudani's government has moved towards investing in technology to track the movement of the Iraqi dinar and transactions. A platform has been launched, the "Our Platform," which works to ensure that all government units provide their services through an integrated system of the internet and intranet.

This allows us to provide these services without any friction between citizens and employees using technology. This contributes to improving performance and, consequently, the possibility of establishing responsibility centers, whether internally or at the level of units in the private sector. This will contribute to accelerating the globalization of the Iraqi economy, especially as we face a set of challenges in transferring the Iraqi economy to the international environment.

Dr. Mohammed Al-Khazai, Director of the Union Center for Media Training, told Tasnim: The Iraqi government has made relative progress in some aspects of e-government, such as digital tax collection, such as the e-passport, and facilitating citizen transactions. However, it remains below the desired level due to the lack of an integrated infrastructure and the multiplicity of implementing agencies. This has hindered the comprehensive transformation of the digital project, not to mention the large amount of red tape and bureaucracy in paper transactions that continue to burden citizens.

Citizens interviewed by Tasnim News Agency in Baghdad expressed their hope that the culture of electronic payment would spread, contributing to the government's efforts to strengthen the Iraqi economy. They also expressed their support for any progress the government makes in serving citizens. Some said that electronic transactions have achieved a qualitative leap forward, contributing to the reduction of bribery.

The government, through the Ministry of Planning, indicated that these steps toward digitization, e-governance, and e-payment, which have become widespread in Iraq, mark the beginning of an era in which Iraq will compete with countries in the region, and even the world.

Abdul Zahra Al-Hindawi, the official spokesperson for the Ministry of Planning, told Tasnim: “The Iraqi government has a comprehensive approach to digital transformation within its development plans. This issue has been a significant component of the targets of the five-year development plan 2024-2028, as well as within Iraq’s Vision for Sustainable Development 2030. This is in addition to the focus of the current government’s program and the important measures taken by the state’s various institutions, sectors, and activities in this area.”

Thus, Iraq is advancing in the global rankings of countries operating in the field of electronic systems and electronic payments, in steps that have strengthened the government's capabilities and benefited citizens.  link

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Good Morning Mark, Mods and Dinarians

Member: Are you surprised we are still here and still waiting Mark?

MZ: I am very surprised. Especially since I know what level of readiness and prep we are. They are ready. Pretty much everybody is at the place they need them to be.

Member: Does anyone else think this feels like groundhog day?

Member: It certainly feels quiet right now for RV news.

MZ: Right now there is a lot of pressure- especially out of Reno and on bond contacts and groups to be very quiet right now. Many are pushing us and trying to convince us that if we would just take a low profile and not give dates…..it would go much quicker.

MZ: The claim is they have been ready to pull the trigger a couple times in the last month or two but they havn’t because somebody on the boards claimed it was happening certain times. We do not know the timing.

MZ:  I find it a little suspicious they are trying to convince us that myself or Mike or Tony or any others could completely stall or derail an entire global reset of the entire monetary system….I call BS….but, will play the game.

MZ: there is a lot of pressure to keep things “vague” without specifics. That is why the news and everyone seems to be quiet…..There is pressure on.  

Member: I wonder- Could Iraq still go alone if others are not yet ready?

Member: I wonder- Would they let the other RV countries go if they are ready?

Member: Are they blaming Sudani for no RV?

MZ: they are definitely trying to deflect the RV not happening on Sudani. But myself and all my contacts call BS on that.

Member: kinda makes me think the people who are in charge of releasing this have been compromised

MZ: I just want it done. We are all tired. The world needs to move on.

Member: I wonder who benefits by postponing the revaluation?

Member: Maybe the Aliens are holding up dinar rv ??  LOL

MZ: In Iraq: “Parliamentarian: the last legislative term requires the passage of stalled laws” There is a massive push to finish things before sudani’s terem ends. Remember- Sudani has made great promises for this term.

Member: His term ends Nov. 11th…unless of course he is re-elected.

MZ: One of the reasons for this push is there is a 4-5 day pilgrimage coming up. The second largest pilgrimage in the Islamic world. About 15 million people all go to Arabeen in Najaf…..and a shrine of the grandson of Muhammad. They go there every year and it’s a big deal for them. It begins August 14th.

MZ: Lawmakers say there will be a short break during that time…..so there is a push to get all this legislation finished.  Including Oil and Gas laws and the Popular mobilization law. They are trying to hurry up and finish because of this pilgrimage.

MZ: Sudani said early on that during this term he would return the dinar to its former glory. Make the dinar the father of the dollar. (More valuable than the dollar)

MZ: “Iraq to resume oil exports to Turkey this week”  We thought it would happen Tues. or Wed….now they are looking at today. I was told the trucks and tankers are off loading for the daily “pump” of the pipeline.  

MZ: this is a fun one. “Zimbabwe: Technical Assistance Report-financial sector stability review -follow up technical assistance on the implementation of Basel 3 Capital framework” this tells me Zimbabwe is definitely headed for the first basket.

MZ: “ Vietnam’s FDI (foreign direct Investment) grows 27.3 % in seven months, signals investor confidence” Many of the big companies know the reset is coming.

MZ: There was a Federal Reserve meeting on August 1st “ Official Reserve Revaluations -the International Experience”  they go through history and tell us about times where gold and other things have been “revalued” . Specifically talking about metals and 5 times where they have revalued our reserves and the history of how it has happened in the past.

MZ: Why do you think they put this out? I think they are preparing us …This way they can say they told us about it…..

Member: I heard if they revalued the gold in Ft. Knox to Market rate or higher…it could really pay down the national debt.

Member: Trump sure made a big deal about tariffs going midnight last night.

Member: It just seems tariffs are a cover for Nesara. Sad that we can’t just come out and tell the truth because the normies can’t handle it. In my book, truth is always best.

Member: Rumor is when our Tarriff income hits $750 Billion- they can cancel income taxes on all of us who make less than $150 thousand a year. That would be such a blessing.

 Member: Tuesday I had a co-worker stated he was headed to the bank with bond appointment and is now MIA.

Member: Mark. Was up at 2 this morning. Checked my Bank account. There was a bulletin saying they were down for upgrades

Member: Is there anything special about Aug 15, I have been hearing alot of chatter about that date.

Member: We were told in the beginning that when we got close everything would be crazy and seem hopeless. It feels like we are close

Member: Stay positive and living in the Present. Enjoy/appreciate every Blessing we receive every day

Member: Enjoy the rest of the day Friends, see you tonight..

MZ: We will be closing down on youtube about the 45 minute mark and going to rumble or Kick or Twitch  to listen to Stacie Z today. Things youtube may not like.   https://rumble.com/v6x9lbo-coffee-with-markz.-08072025.html

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 7 August 2025

Compiled Thurs. 7 August 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: High Up Rumors were that it would be wise to stay inside for the next couple of days as chaos was about to hit nations across the Globe.

Trump has (allegedly) given the Green Light for the new Quantum Financial System to slide into place.

To control the expected chaos happening upon the closure of Central Banks, the Emergency Broadcast System was expected to be activated (over cell phones) worldwide sometime within the next week, or by Memorial Day Weekend beginning Fri. 15 Aug.

The Global Military Alliance and BRICS Nations’ recent (allegedly) implementation of the Quantum Financial System changed all. Now every stolen dollar, every offshore vault, every hidden transaction — was tracked, blocked and reversed.

The QFS didn’t just bypass the banks. It replaced them.

NEXT 72-HOUR SEQUENCE: If your phone chirps three short, one long-stand by.

Market Pause: “Technical maintenance” across CME & NYSE (real reason: ledger drain).
Bank Holiday: announced as “cyber review,” buys 48 hrs for QFS hard cut-over.
EBS Rollout: every screen, every band, unskippable.
GESARA Credits: debt slate wiped, gold weight assigned to biometric wallets.

When step 3 lands, the world you know archives itself in a single frame. After that, history restarts.

REMEMBER: There will be no second feed. No mainstream hand-holding. You’re either watching from the inside-or refreshing a dead webpage. Stay aligned. Stay ready. GOD WINS.

Mnt Goat   What we have is all still very good news and showing Iraq is still moving in the right direction...Iraq is still aggressively fighting that uphill battle to regain its full sovereignty and financial independence...  However...As long as Iraq is on the petro-dollar and it is the sole peg for the dinar, this will continue...In recent weeks the CBI has come out with so much news about finally being able to control the dollar in Iraq by controlling the parallel market. Why is this so important?  [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Mnt Goat   We know that the CBI has told us there is going to be one more “official” rate change after the 1320 then conduct the Project to Delete the Zeros once this control of the parallel market is accomplished. My contact in the CBI then told me they thought that maybe the parallel market could reach the official rate by the end of last week. Did it?  We still wait for the news to come... the Project to Delete the Zeros is a focal point for the rest of the process going forward to make it to the reinstatement of the dinar back to FOREX, with a rate was as investors want.

U.S. Government Announces ChatGPT Integration Across Federal Agencies

White House-backed initiative positions OpenAI’s ChatGPT as a central tool in America’s bid for AI leadership

The U.S. federal government has officially signed a new agreement with OpenAI to bring an enterprise-level version of ChatGPT into use across all government agencies—marking a major milestone in the nation's AI integration strategy.

The move is part of a broader plan by the Trump administration to make the United States the global capital of artificial intelligence, in line with the White House’s newly released AI Action Plan.

Good morning Dinar Recaps,

U.S. Government Announces ChatGPT Integration Across Federal Agencies

White House-backed initiative positions OpenAI’s ChatGPT as a central tool in America’s bid for AI leadership

The U.S. federal government has officially signed a new agreement with OpenAI to bring an enterprise-level version of ChatGPT into use across all government agencies—marking a major milestone in the nation's AI integration strategy.

The move is part of a broader plan by the Trump administration to make the United States the global capital of artificial intelligence, in line with the White House’s newly released AI Action Plan.

ChatGPT Access for Every Agency—at $1 Each

According to a statement from the General Services Administration (GSA) on Wednesday, the agreement provides every federal agency access to the ChatGPT platform at a nominal rate of $1 per agency. This is intended to fast-track the integration of AI into day-to-day operations, workflows, and decision-making processes across the U.S. government.

The GSA, which oversees federal procurement, emphasized that the agreement:

  • Directly supports the White House’s AI Action Plan

  • Aims to “modernize federal operations” through artificial intelligence

  • Is a strategic public-private partnership aligned with U.S. national interests

The White House’s Three-Pillar AI Strategy

The administration’s AI Action Plan revolves around:

  • Developing U.S. AI leadership across both civilian and defense sectors

  • Scaling access to AI tools through public-private collaborations

  • Building trust and safeguards into AI governance and cybersecurity

The OpenAI deal, government officials say, is a step toward ensuring the United States remains competitive against global powers in AI development and application.

Critics Warn of Dangers: Privacy, Censorship, and Surveillance

Despite the enthusiasm, civil liberties advocates, technologists, and cybersecurity experts are raising red flags. Key concerns include:

  • Privacy violations stemming from centralized data collection

  • Government censorship via AI-nudged narrative shaping

  • Cybersecurity risks involving sensitive federal and military data

  • Erosion of civil liberties under automated governance systems

Military Already Expressed Caution with Generative AI

In 2023, the U.S. Space Force temporarily halted the use of generative AI platforms—including ChatGPT—due to national security concerns over data sensitivity.

“AI platforms must overhaul data protection standards before they can be adopted for military use,”
— Lisa Costa, Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Technology and Innovation, U.S. Space Force

Public Backlash Is Not Limited to the U.S.

The ethical and legal ramifications of AI-assisted governance are drawing scrutiny abroad as well. In Sweden, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson admitted to consulting AI for policy advice—sparking controversy over AI influence on democratic decision-making.

A spokesperson clarified that the AI was not used to handle classified or national security-related matters. Still, the public response reflected growing unease over AI encroachment into public governance.

Data Use and Legal Exposure Remain Unclear

AI systems like ChatGPT ingest vast amounts of user data, including content from conversations, to refine their models. These interactions, when stored on centralized servers, create potential liabilities for users.

“ChatGPT conversations could be used as legal evidence against users,”
— Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI

Altman emphasized that AI chats lack privacy protections, are not privileged, and are subject to lawful search and seizure.

Bottom Line: Innovation Meets Uncertainty

While the OpenAI–GSA deal marks a watershed moment in U.S. AI strategy, it also exposes unresolved issues around:

  • User privacy rights

  • Data ownership and legal protection

  • Government accountability in AI deployment

As the United States pushes forward to establish itself as the AI capital of the world, the race to modernize may collide with longstanding democratic principles—forcing lawmakers, developers, and citizens alike to confront a new era of algorithmic governance.

ICBA to OCC: Reject Ripple’s Bank Application Over Stablecoin and Compliance Issues

The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) has formally petitioned the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to reject Ripple’s application for a national trust bank charter, citing major concerns around RLUSD, Ripple’s proposed U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin.

The ICBA, which represents thousands of small banks across the U.S., argues that the integration of RLUSD into the banking system could siphon deposits from community banks, disrupt financial stability, and weaken regulatory standards.

Key Objections:

  • Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin mimics traditional bank deposits, enabling transfers, purchases, and dollar redemptions—without adhering to the full regulatory requirements that apply to full-service banks.

  • Trust banks were designed to fulfill custodial and fiduciary roles, not operate as quasi-commercial banks using stablecoins.

  • Ripple’s regulatory history, including violations of BSA/AML/CFT obligations and ongoing legal conflict with the SEC, makes it a risky candidate for a federal charter.

  • The OCC’s recent adjustments to trust bank eligibility requirements lack statutory support and could set a dangerous precedent if crypto firms like Ripple are allowed to bypass traditional compliance standards.

ICBA’s Core Arguments:

“The OCC should not allow stablecoin issuers to use the national trust bank charter to benefit from full-service bank-powers without full-service bank-requirements.”

The ICBA underscores that RLUSD, while functionally similar to traditional deposits, falls outside the regulatory umbrella that typically governs insured depository institutions. The group argues this creates a regulatory arbitrage loophole that could:

  • Destabilize smaller banks

  • Reduce consumer protections

  • Undermine trust in the banking sector

Ripple’s Compliance History Under Fire

The ICBA letter highlights Ripple Labs’ past failures to implement Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CFT) controls. Specific incidents include:

  • Regulatory actions taken against XRP II, Ripple’s subsidiary

  • The SEC lawsuit, which alleges deliberate and reckless securities law violations

  • A pattern of non-compliance that reflects an unwillingness to operate within established legal boundaries

“Ripple also has difficulty complying with securities laws and regulations,” the letter stated, concluding that such conduct should disqualify Ripple from accessing a national trust bank charter.

Call for Stricter Oversight of Crypto-Financial Entities

The ICBA contends that the OCC’s loosening of national trust bank requirements has eroded a critical layer of regulatory protection. It demands:

  • Stronger consumer protections

  • Stricter eligibility criteria

  • Expanded risk oversight

  • Targeted enforcement against crypto-focused applicants

The group warns that failure to apply these safeguards could lead to unchecked financial engineering, jeopardizing deposit securitymarket stability, and public confidence in the financial system.

“Any company that pushes the boundaries of securities law, like Ripple Labs, should not be permitted to use the national trust bank charter,” the letter emphasized.

Conclusion

The ICBA’s public opposition to Ripple’s banking ambitions brings to light the growing tensions between traditional financial institutions and crypto-native firms. As regulatory agencies like the OCC navigate the future of fintech and digital assets, the decision on Ripple’s charter application will serve as a high-stakes precedent for the banking and crypto sectors alike.

Are $600 Tariff Rebate Checks Coming? Here’s What You Need To Know

Are $600 Tariff Rebate Checks Coming? Here’s What You Need To Know

T. Woods  Wed, August 6, 2025  GOBankingRates

In March of 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law by President Donald Trump. CARES was an economic stimulus package that included one-time cash payments of $1,200 to most Americans to help offset the unprecedented financial impact of the COVID-19 virus. Just over five years later, Trump is once again considering issuing a government check to most Americans, this time in the form of a rebate paid with revenue from his trade tariffs.

Per CNBC, President Trump recently told to reporters that there was a good amount of incoming money from tariffs it could potentially result in rebates — here’s what we know.

Are $600 Tariff Rebate Checks Coming? Here’s What You Need To Know

T. Woods  Wed, August 6, 2025  GOBankingRates

In March of 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law by President Donald Trump. CARES was an economic stimulus package that included one-time cash payments of $1,200 to most Americans to help offset the unprecedented financial impact of the COVID-19 virus. Just over five years later, Trump is once again considering issuing a government check to most Americans, this time in the form of a rebate paid with revenue from his trade tariffs.

Per CNBC, President Trump recently told to reporters that there was a good amount of incoming money from tariffs it could potentially result in rebates — here’s what we know.

Is There a Plan in Action?

In response to this, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) has introduced a bill that would issue these tariff rebate checks to Americans in a similar cash disbursement to the CARES payments of 2020, according to his official page. The bill, called the “American Worker Rebate Act of 2025,” would see $600 at minimum sent to American adults and dependent children (or $2,400 for a family of four). That “at minimum” is worth noting, as well — there is a provision in the bill for the payments to be higher than $600 per person if tariff revenue is ultimately higher than expected.

Also worth noting is the fact that the Treasury Department did indeed release a report showing an unexpected surplus in June, one that was helped by tariff revenues of approximately $27 billion — a 301% increase in custom duties from June 2024.

What Are the Potential Implications?

Travel Experts: Don’t Keep Your Money in These 6 Places While Traveling

Though paper money has gone the way of the dodo in many respects, sometimes when you travel you just want some cold hard cash at hand to make life easier. While many people don’t carry cash at all, others have go-to methods of storing their money.

Travel Experts: Don’t Keep Your Money in These 6 Places While Traveling

Caitlyn Moorhead    Mon, August 4, 2025  GOBankingRates

Though paper money has gone the way of the dodo in many respects, sometimes when you travel you just want some cold hard cash at hand to make life easier. While many people don’t carry cash at all, others have go-to methods of storing their money.

Whether you’re a frequent or casual traveler, it’s important to know where to keep your money so that it doesn’t get lost or stolen while you’re on your trip. Here are six places you should never keep your cash when traveling.

Outer Pockets of Backpacks or Luggage

You should be aware that when it comes to specific areas of storage on your bag or luggage, some are safer than others. For example, the back or outer pockets of your backpacks or luggage compartments are not the best place to keep your money while traveling. Not only do these places lack security, but they’re also easily accessible to pickpockets.

Unattended Hotel Room

Your hotel room might not be as secure as you think. Even if it’s highly rated and in a safe area, you still shouldn’t leave your money out in the open in your room. For instance, try not to leave your card on the side table of your hotel room when you go sightseeing or out for the day. You never want to leave your information or money vulnerable to being easily stolen.

Alternatively, if you want to leave something in your room, opt for hotel room safes, as they are the best go-to choice for locking away passports, cash and valuables. One of the best investments you can make when traveling is in your peace of mind.

In One Place

Unfortunately, savvy thieves know how to spot tourists who can become targets if they know they have money and are ready to use any opportunity to steal it. Be careful when travelling abroad and try to distribute your money across several locations rather than keeping it all in one place.

Ray Dalio Warns US Dollar Devaluation May Trigger Gold Standard Comeback

Ray Dalio Warns US Dollar Devaluation May Trigger Gold Standard Comeback: 'History Shows Us That…'

August 6, 2025

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio has raised concerns about the long-term stability of the U.S. dollar, pointing to historical cycles that could lead the country back to a gold-backed currency.

Ray Dalio Highlights Historic Pattern Of Currency Collapse And Recovery

On Tuesday, Dalio posted a video clip on X featuring his conversation with Carlyle Group co-founder and co-chairman  David Rubenstein, where he discussed a recurring pattern in the evolution of global monetary systems.

Ray Dalio Warns US Dollar Devaluation May Trigger Gold Standard Comeback: 'History Shows Us That…'

August 6, 2025

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio has raised concerns about the long-term stability of the U.S. dollar, pointing to historical cycles that could lead the country back to a gold-backed currency.

Ray Dalio Highlights Historic Pattern Of Currency Collapse And Recovery

On Tuesday, Dalio posted a video clip on X featuring his conversation with Carlyle Group co-founder and co-chairman  David Rubenstein, where he discussed a recurring pattern in the evolution of global monetary systems.

"The U.S. dollar used to be backed by gold — and it's not farfetched to think we may be headed there again in the future," Dalio wrote. "History shows us that the same cycles repeat time and time again."

In the video, Rubenstein asked Dalio whether the U.S. would ever return to the gold standard.

Dalio responded: "Presumably that’s right, but not if you watch these cycles that because you have the devaluation, then people feel don’t have confidence in the fiat system."

US Debt, Inflation, And Loss Of Trust Could Pave Way For Gold-Backed Currency

Dalio explained that during periods of high debt, governments tend to print more money, pay off debt with cheaper currency, and eventually see trust erode.

"Nobody wants to hold the devalued currency," he said. "So then they go back and link it again.”

The U.S. dollar used to be backed by gold — and it’s not farfetched to think we may be headed there again in the future. History shows us that the same cycles repeat time and time again. One such cycle is related to currency devaluation.

Falling Dollar Signals Deeper Trouble For US Debt Holders

In May, Dalio cautioned that printing money to manage growing government debt could silently erode the value of the U.S. dollar, leading to inflation that harms bondholders. Instead of defaulting, the government may repay debt with devalued dollars, causing real losses for investors.

At the time, supporting his concern, Schwab strategist Kathy Jones highlighted a 7.62% drop in the U.S. Dollar Spot Index this year, linking it to policies like tariffs, re-shoring, and widening deficits.

She warned that these factors point to a weakening dollar and an unsustainable fiscal trajectory—validating Dalio's argument that credit risks are far greater than what rating agencies suggest.

Trump's Tariffs And Fiscal Plans Could Fuel Inflation, Warns Wealth CEO

In June, Ross Gerber criticized Donald Trump's economic approach, arguing that tariffs and aggressive fiscal expansion are directly contributing to inflation.

He specifically called out the GOP's "One Big, Beautiful Bill," which includes deep tax cuts and increased government spending on defense, infrastructure, and manufacturing—policies he says will widen the fiscal deficit and drive up national debt.

Gerber warned that such deficit spending could pressure the Federal Reserve to buy government bonds, effectively "printing money," and risking even higher inflation. He stressed that if Trump wants lower interest rates, he should pursue policies that reduce—not increase—inflationary pressure.

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

Ray Dalio on X

The U.S. dollar used to be backed by gold — and it’s not farfetched to think we may be headed there again in the future.

 History shows us that the same cycles repeat time and time again. One such cycle is related to currency devaluation.

Once people start to lose trust in the fiat system, we see a specific cause and effect reaction occur.

 1) Governments print a lot of money

2) They pay off the debt with the cheap money

3) Nobody wants to hold the devalued currency

4) Governments go back and link money to gold

 Will this same pattern happen again? It’s hard to say, and it wouldn’t happen anytime soon. But it is conceivable.

 So now we've got another name for these, which is a dividend check. And I think it's a dividend that's coming from the savings and from tariffs and from the amount of money that's coming in. He said, I want the American public to share in this. I want the American public to have a dividend of what's going on from their trade and the tariffs that are being generated. And he said, not just billions, trillions of dollars are being generated in these tariffs and trade deals.

So I'm very, very impressed with that. It's excellent for us. So even though we had been told that DOGE we call them, DOGE checks, at the time, they were changed to tariff rebate checks and tariff direct deposits or to have started August 1, second, third.

No one that I know of has received anything yet, so it sounds like they were held off for a day or two. Maybe they start up this week. We just don't have absolute on it. We've tried to find out, and it's hard to find that out in terms of normal intel

We've got some good information, but I'm going to tell you now, the redemption centers do not have rates on their  screens, even yet today, and the banks yesterday, and I can only assume it might be as well as today, but yesterday, they did have rates. I did get a dinar rate and a dong rate that were very, very good.

These were at banks, and I can tell you, really good, but the rate at the redemption centers will be even better. And so I'm going to say you want to make sure that you use the toll free number   when made available to you , or you get your email from Wells Fargo to set your appointments at the redemption center. You will get the very best deal

I told you that the contract rate on dinar It's a contract that was made between United States and Iraq – President Trump wants us to get the highest available rate we could get, so you're not going to get it at the bank  - you will only get it at the redemption center .

Now the funny thing is, let's see. Yesterday at the banks, we also had new currencies that came up, and some of the currencies that, well, let me put it this way. This was at the redemption center yesterday that some currencies, like the Venezuelan Bolivar was on the screen.

There's another currency of the Bolivian boliviano. Boliviano is Bolivia's currency. It was on the screen. There are a number of currencies that really are obscure, that are on there now. Plus, don't forget the Afghani and the Dinar and the Dong and the Rupiah, all of those are on there.

And of course, the Zim is staying running in there at $1 so that's great. Okay, what was on the screens at the redemption center today? Since no rates were up, how about a crawler at the bottom of the screen that said to look for, the start for us to be within the next 48 hours.

Now, maybe that means we get notified. Maybe notified by Thursday -  But it looks like we could be looking good for something to happen in terms of notifications and exchanges to start still this week, today's Tuesday, maybe it's a Wednesday, Thursday, maybe it's a Thursday, Friday, but it should be this week.

We've heard that from a few other resources, and I feel like that's that's  making me feel  much more comfortable about where we are - So this is really what it is we're looking for. I know it's about dates and rates guys. It's all it always has been, but there's a lot more to it,

Let me tell you another thing  - This is something I found out yesterday, and this came from a Wells Fargo redemption center person. Remember we talked about it'd be great if you had a trust already made out, and you have a trust name an umbrella trust you bid for your exchange. You don’t have to have one. But if you do great go in and put everything in the name of your trust.

The other piece of that is they would like you to set up your trust within 30 days of your exchange. They do want that. So if you don't have a trust, don't sweat it, just go in, do your exchange, redeem your Zim, put it in the quantum account where it belongs, and move some money into your primary wells account.

But go about getting up with your estate planning attorney, your trust attorney, and they'll help provide you one. If you don't have one, or you don't know where to start - they want you to have a trust in place within 30 days – that’s official

The other thing is, there was something  out there on line about the exchanges are to be complete by the 10th of August.

Well, let's see. Don't think so. That's just plain not true. Today is the fifth we're not starting until the minimum we start is either tomorrow or Thursday at the late at the quickest. So they're not going to be done in three or four days. No way Jose,

We will go all the way through some redemption centers will close in as little as nine days – some redemption centers will go two weeks, and some, if the demographics support it, and if there's enough desire to set appointments, they'll be open for a month.

Now, they don't necessarily want to be open that long, but they will be open as long as they need to, to get all the Zim in  and get all the currency and get everybody taken care of, okay? And then when all the redemption centers close, oh, it's up to the tier one banks to try to fill it, fill in on certain currencies that might be from the public.

Let's call the public, but he doesn't, God forbid, listen to the big call, because I know a lot of people listen, and a lot of people will share information with people that don't listen. We always have new listeners to come in. Well, I just heard about this a month ago, or two months ago, or I just followed the big call, but I've only been listening for two or three months well, we're leaving the light on for you.

Keep coming. Come on in the water's fine. Important to see guys that those of you in big call universe that have been with us for 14 years, you know more about this than the bankers do. You know more about this than most of the redemption center, do but, you know, you got to be careful what you read out there.

You can't take it just because it's in print, doesn't make it gospel. Oakland, Trevor, Frederick, really, you know, you think about it, we do get good information. Yes, is it always right all the time? No, as our timing? Our timeline always correct? No, because you know, guys, we've been since for a long time, I've seen a lot of things happen, but I'm ready to go just like you are. I'm more than ready.

 I'm ready to get this exchange done and jump into the med bed as shortly a time frame as I can, because we're doing some things, and we're getting started with sort of a little fam trip. Fam is short familiarization a little fam trip in North Carolina, primarily western North Carolina, and we're making contacts for it. We're setting up opportunities to meet with some people that are already there and it plans to be there. So that's really good. I appreciate the information. The people that have written in and told us, you know, they listen, they call and they're interested in getting with us. So that'll be good.

You know, it's it's not what the med beds can do for you. The question really is, what can't they do? That's valid question, because that was posed to me a long time ago, and I thought, wow, that's true.

 I mean, we have people that have seen these in action with proper authority of the military, and have seen a person with no arm and no leg be completely healed totally in 33 minutes and walking around after being helped out of the med bed, that's pretty amazing.

I mean, new leg - new foot, new arm, new hand, all of that is all possible and more than that. So I'm very excited, personally to get into that event myself shortly after I exchange, I hope, and I've been assured that I can do that. Looking forward to that.

 So do that because you're just not going to believe what is possible in the minutes, and to be able to utilize that for people with dire need and people that have Zim have priority. They did that several times. So if you've got dire need and you're a Zim holder, they want you to be around for a long, long time lifespan, so that you could see your projects through fruition. That's really important.

 Okay, that's what I wanted to say to them, guys. Are we looking good for the next couple of days? It looks like it. Let's see what happens. I know a lot of things are happening. We will get on the screens. And so I think they're waiting for a final move to put the actually. So we're gonna have on screens ahead.

 And thank everybody. Thanks Sue job as always, and for Bob excellent, always fun. And thank you, GCK for all of your artwork, and Jeannie for your continued support and prayer, and for Pastor Scott continued healing everybody that had prayer requests. May you all be fully healed in Jesus name. And thank you for listening. And thank you team satellite team for getting the call out all over the globe. And thank you big call universe for listening to the big call. For some of you, up to 14 years since I've had this call. Alright, so that's it. I'm going to go ahead and pray us out, and then we'll turn off the recording.

Well, guys, let's go ahead and turn off the recording. Let's do it now.

“The Time Is Now”: U.S. Reclaims Leadership Role in Global Crypto Race

White House crypto report, SEC’s Project Crypto, and the GENIUS/CLARITY Acts set stage for regulatory realignment

A new era may be unfolding for U.S. crypto policy as top federal regulators and lawmakers move in concert to reposition the United States as the global leader in digital asset innovation and governance.

“The Time Is Now”: U.S. Reclaims Leadership Role in Global Crypto Race

White House crypto report, SEC’s Project Crypto, and the GENIUS/CLARITY Acts set stage for regulatory realignment

A new era may be unfolding for U.S. crypto policy as top federal regulators and lawmakers move in concert to reposition the United States as the global leader in digital asset innovation and governance.

The shift was catalyzed by a sweeping White House digital asset strategy report, released last week, calling for interagency alignment and regulatory modernization. Now, with both the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) advancing targeted crypto initiatives, and with bipartisan legislation gaining momentum, the U.S. crypto sector appears headed for a long-awaited regulatory breakthrough.

CCI: U.S. Reclaiming the Lead

Ji Hun Kim, newly appointed CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI), hailed the White House’s report as a “pivotal” moment in restoring America’s strategic position in the global digital economy.

“The time is now for the U.S. to lead,” Kim told Cointelegraph. “We’ve had legal precedent — Bitcoin, Ether and many other digital assets are much more akin to commodities. The CFTC will have an important role to play in their oversight.”

The report appears to mark the end of a long-running jurisdictional battle between the SEC and CFTC, affirming that digital commodities (like Bitcoin and Ether) fall under CFTC oversight, while the SEC will focus on tokenized securities.

This new division of labor is precisely what the CLARITY Act codifies — a bill that passed the House and awaits Senate deliberation.

From Turf War to Regulatory Unity

The SEC responded with the launch of Project Crypto, a reform initiative to provide streamlined, unified licensing for brokerages operating across asset classes. It aims to establish clear guardrails for token issuancecustody, and investor protection — without reflexively labeling crypto assets as securities to stifle innovation.

“It should not be a scarlet letter to be deemed a security,” said SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins. “Investors will benefit from access to features like distributions and voting rights.”

Simultaneously, CFTC Acting Chair Caroline Pham announced a “crypto sprint” to rapidly implement the White House’s recommendations for digital commodity oversight — from spot market regulation to tokenized commodity frameworks.

“You’ll see increased collaboration between the two agencies,” said Kim. “That’s a theme many people overlook. It was included in the President’s executive order from January.”

GENIUS Act: Stablecoin Strategy as Dollar Diplomacy

The U.S. isn’t just aiming for regulatory clarity — it’s responding to global stablecoin competition. As China deploys its digital yuan through satellite jurisdictions like Hong Kong, and the EU implements MiCA rules, the U.S. is pushing forward with the GENIUS Act, designed to tokenize the U.S. dollar through private stablecoins.

“GENIUS provides a market-driven path forward,” Kim explained. “It allows for privacy, innovation, and growth without relying on a government-issued CBDC.”

This is a clear rejection of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), which former President Trump formally banned in a January executive order, citing surveillance risks. Instead, the U.S. approach emphasizes competitive, dollar-backed stablecoins — an area where firms like Circle, Ripple, and Paxos are already heavily active.

Other Jurisdictions Losing Ground

As global crypto hubs tighten regulations, the U.S. may reclaim its appeal:

  • Dubai’s regulator issued compliance ultimatums.

  • Singapore ejected firms exploiting gray areas.

  • Hong Kong imposed strict new licensing for stablecoin issuers — which analysts believe is part of China’s digital yuan export strategy.

While these regimes offer clarity, they’re proving less crypto-friendly in practice — creating an opening for U.S. capital markets to become the preferred destination for compliant digital asset firms.

Regulatory Clarity ≠ Deregulation

Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and over 80 civil rights groups, claim the CLARITY Act amounts to crypto deregulation. But Kim pushed back:

“This is not deregulation. It’s structured engagement. It’s about creating rules tailored to digital assets, fighting illicit finance, and giving the industry a framework to operate within — not outside — the law.”

Outlook: From Crypto Backwater to Global Standard-Setter

After years of regulatory paralysis, the U.S. crypto regulatory ecosystem is now showing signs of strategic coherence:

  • The White House report sets the policy tone.

  • The SEC’s Project Crypto establishes enforcement boundaries and licensing paths.

  • The CFTC sprint reclaims digital commodity jurisdiction.

  • The GENIUS and CLARITY Acts provide the legislative backbone for stablecoin and asset classification frameworks.

Taken together, these developments represent a wholesale realignment — and potentially a new Bretton Woods moment in the making, with tokenized dollarsclear governance models, and global financial influence flowing through U.S.-regulated rails.

📌 Key Acts to Watch:

  • GENIUS Act: Private stablecoin standard to reinforce dollar dominance

  • CLARITY Act: Defines SEC vs. CFTC jurisdiction over digital assets

🧭 What’s Next:

  • Senate vote on CLARITY Act

  • SEC/CFTC rulemaking under new crypto directives

  • Implementation of Project Crypto & CFTC sprint

UK Greenlights Crypto ETNs for Retail Investors, Reigniting Push Toward Digital Asset Hub Status

Reversal of FCA ban signals strategic regulatory shift, but derivatives remain off-limits

In a move that signals a major policy pivot, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has lifted its ban on crypto exchange-traded notes (cETNs) for retail investors — a decision widely seen as a bid to restore the UK’s ambitions of becoming a global digital asset hub.

The change, announced on August 2, will go into effect October 8, 2025, reversing a ban originally implemented in January 2021 over concerns around volatility and investor protection.

Industry leaders say the updated stance reflects maturing markets, better product understanding, and a regulatory recalibration in favor of proportional consumer access.

FCA's Ban Reversal: A Turning Point for UK Crypto Policy

In a statement accompanying the decision, the FCA acknowledged that the crypto market has evolved considerably in recent years and noted increased sophistication among both investors and product structures. The agency emphasized that the regulatory framework remains focused on protecting consumers while supporting innovation.

Ian Taylor, board adviser at CryptoUK and COO of HT Digital, called the decision “long overdue”:

“Until now, the UK has been an outlier on ETNs. This change reflects the progress we’ve made toward introducing a more proportionate approach to consumer risk.”

CryptoUK, a key trade association, has long advocated for inclusive access to regulated crypto products, including ETNs — which allow investors to track crypto asset performance without directly holding the underlying tokens.

Industry Praises Return of Retail Autonomy

Riccardo Tordera, director of policy and government relations at The Payments Association, welcomed the FCA’s move as an essential correction to an overprotective stance that hindered the UK’s crypto ambitions.

“The intrinsic nature of crypto means it can be accessed by everyone, from everywhere,” said Tordera.
“The FCA ban on retail access to certain crypto products was hindering the UK’s chances of becoming a global crypto hub.”

According to Tordera, the updated rules empower individual investors to make decisions “at their own risk,” while also improving the UK’s global competitiveness in the race to attract crypto firms, capital, and innovation.

Skeptics Push Back With Satire

Not all reactions were celebratory. In typical fashion, WallStreetBets founder Jaime Rogozinski responded to the announcement with a jab at British priorities:

“Britain loves financial risk — just not the kind that involves, say, vegetables or an industrial policy.”

His comment — part sarcasm, part policy critique — reflects lingering skepticism about the UK’s broader economic posture, particularly in the post-Brexit era.

Crypto Derivatives Still Prohibited

Despite this breakthrough, the FCA reaffirmed that crypto derivatives remain banned for retail traders. These products — including futures, options, and perpetual contracts — are still considered too complex and high-risk for the average investor.

“The FCA’s ban on retail access to crypto asset derivatives will remain in place,” the agency confirmed.

However, it also stated that it would continue to monitor market developments and reassess its approach based on evolving risk metrics and industry feedback.

Outlook: Competitive Crypto Landscape Forces UK’s Hand

The FCA’s reversal appears to reflect not just evolving markets, but also growing international pressure. Jurisdictions such as Hong Kong, Singapore, the UAE, and parts of the EU have aggressively moved toward regulated retail access to crypto instruments, placing the UK at a strategic disadvantage.

With global finance and digital assets increasingly interlinked, this policy shift could mark the start of a broader regulatory transformation — one that attempts to strike a balance between investor protection and market dynamism.

📌 Effective Date:
Retail access to crypto ETNs resumes October 8, 2025

Still Banned:
Crypto derivatives (futures, options, perpetuals)

Ripple’s RLUSD Surpasses Zcash in Market Cap as Stablecoin Adoption Surges

GENIUS Act fuels institutional momentum behind Ripple USD, signaling a new phase in the dollar tokenization race

Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin RLUSD has officially overtaken Zcash (ZEC) in market capitalization, marking a significant shift in crypto capital flows. With $602.6 million in market value and $35.8 million in daily trending volume, RLUSD now ranks 8th among stablecoins and 104th overall, just shy of the global top 100 digital assets.

More than just a market reshuffle, RLUSD’s rise reflects a wider transformation in crypto adoption as institutional capital pivots toward compliant, U.S.-backed digital dollar alternatives — particularly those aligned with the newly enacted GENIUS Act.

Zcash Slips to 106th Amid Privacy Token Pressure

Zcash, once a prominent privacy-focused cryptocurrency, has seen its market presence eroded over time, now trading at $35.20 — down over 11% in the past week and 99% below its all-time high of $5,941. The coin has failed to recover amid increasing regulatory scrutiny of anonymous transactions and dwindling investor interest.

ZEC Technical Overview:

  • Trading below 200-day SMA — long-term bearish signal

  • MACD histogram at –0.615 — sustained negative momentum

  • Underperforming 52% of top 100 assets over the past year

  • Currently capped by 30-day SMA resistance at $41.23

This downturn comes as regulators worldwide move against privacy coins, raising concerns about their role in facilitating illicit finance — and opening the door for compliant alternatives like RLUSD.

RLUSD Emerges as Strategic Stablecoin Contender

RLUSD’s rise isn’t simply opportunistic — it’s structural.

As a dollar-pegged stablecoin built within the Ripple liquidity ecosystem, RLUSD benefits from RippleNet’s global banking partnerships and the growing enterprise use of tokenized U.S. dollars. The recent passage of the GENIUS Act, which formalizes stablecoin standards and reinforces dollar-denominated reserve backing, has further boosted institutional confidence.

“RLUSD is quietly capturing market share as investors rotate into regulated, high-trust digital assets,” one analyst noted. “The GENIUS Act gives issuers like Ripple the legal clarity needed to scale.”

Current Stats:

  • Market Cap: $602.6 million

  • Stablecoin Rank: #8 (trailing only PayPal USD at #7)

  • 24h Trending Volume: $35.8 million

  • Price: Stable at $1.00

GENIUS Act: From Tokenization to Dominance

The GENIUS Act, signed into law earlier this year, is a landmark stablecoin framework designed to ensure that U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins remain the global reserve standard in a tokenized financial system.

Rather than rely on a government-issued CBDC — which former President Trump banned via executive order — the GENIUS Act empowers private-sector innovation in stablecoin issuance, provided firms meet rigorous reserve, reporting, and AML compliance requirements.

RLUSD’s institutional ascent reflects this pivot: capital is no longer fleeing the U.S. regulatory system — it’s aligning with it.

Legacy Coins Under Pressure as RLUSD Rises

With RLUSD climbing the ranks and poised to enter the top 100 global cryptocurrencies, pressure is mounting on legacy and mid-tier altcoins. Analysts suggest that Zcash’s continued decline could be the first in a wave of devaluations for tokens that lack regulatory viability or real-world integration.

Meanwhile, RLUSD is beginning to mirror XRP’s path toward deeper banking sector disruption — offering a dollar-denominated gateway into Ripple’s expanding institutional network.

“If XRP is the bridge, RLUSD is the base currency,” one market commentator observed. “Both are now part of the same liquidity engine.”

 Key Takeaways:

  • RLUSD surpasses Zcash with $602.6M market cap

  • GENIUS Act credited with accelerating stablecoin adoption

  • Institutional capital shifting from privacy coins to regulated assets

  • Ripple USD ranks #8 among stablecoins, eyeing top 100 entry

  • XRP ecosystem deepens as RLUSD gains traction

Crypto Paychecks? Gen Z Leads Surge in Stablecoin Demand

New study shows 75% of Gen Z open to stablecoin salaries, highlighting a generational shift in finance adoption amid GENIUS Act momentum

A recent survey by Cryptoninjas reveals that Generation Z is leading the charge in stablecoin adoption, with nearly half transacting monthly and 75% expressing willingness to receive their salaries in stablecoins. As Washington advances legislation to formalize stablecoin infrastructure through the GENIUS Act, this generational pivot is becoming harder to ignore.

Gen Z Embraces Stablecoins as the New Financial Rails

According to the study:

  • 46% of Gen Z participants use stablecoins monthly

  • Only 30% of Millennials and 29% of Gen X transact monthly

  • 53% of all participants have used stablecoins at least once

Younger users are gravitating toward crypto-native financial services, such as yield farming and inflation-resistant savings. Among Gen Z, yield opportunities are the top motivation, with speed, inflation hedging, and on-ramps to crypto rounding out the list.

“For 46% of Generation Z, the big draw is yield farming,” the report noted. “Speed, inflation protection, and easy access to crypto round out their list.”

Stablecoin Salaries? Gen Z Says Yes

Perhaps most revealing: 57% of all stablecoin users said they’d be open to getting paid in stablecoins. That number jumps to 75% among Gen Z, compared to:

  • 53.2% of Millennials

  • Only 33.3% of Gen X

This aligns with broader demographic data showing Gen Z’s high comfort with digital wallets, crypto apps, and tokenized financial instruments, including those introduced via legislation like the GENIUS Act, which creates a regulatory framework for dollar-backed stablecoins.

Adoption Barriers: Real-World Use Still Lags

Despite the enthusiasm, the top concern remains limited utility:

  • 42.4% of users cite lack of real-world acceptance

  • Other concerns include price volatility (12.9%), unclear regulation (11.5%), fees (9.4%), and security (6.5%)

The report concludes that usability and user experience are crucial to mass adoption — especially for older users. Most people won’t use stablecoins regularly until apps evolve beyond their “crypto-native” design and offer everyday functions like bill pay, shopping, and savings tools in a clear, accessible format.

Strategic Implications: The GENIUS Act and a Dollar-Backed Future

As stablecoin usage accelerates among digital natives, Washington’s response is taking shape. The GENIUS Act, which enshrines standards for reserve-backed, transparent, and regulated stablecoin issuance, aims to ensure that U.S.-denominated digital assets become the global standard — not an afterthought.

With younger generations driving demand, and institutional players like Ripple and PayPal rolling out compliant stablecoins, the U.S. financial system is at a tipping point — one where tokenized dollars could become the default payment medium for the next generation of workers.

Key Findings:

  • Gen Z leads in stablecoin usage and salary acceptance

  • 75% of Gen Z would take their paycheck in stablecoins

  • Main barriers: lack of real-world utility and user-friendly apps

  • Demand for yield, inflation protection, and fast payments driving usage

  • Stablecoins are shifting from speculation to salary and savings
