Iraqi Dinar: The Wild Card Scenario (The One Thing (That Uproots Plan A & B)

How is everyone doing tonight? I knew many people would be displeased with what I had to personally say about the Iraqi Dinar and its conveyed timeline.

What they fail to realize is that God plays a part in this also. Where it doesn’t matter what you have planned. Fate & Destiny are a match made in heaven. Not on earth. Which means we have no control over what was ordained before we got here.

 And you all are missing this one key component to this. Because when you decided to get into this investment. Your interest in it was not on any schedule. Circumstances you were facing in your personal life drove you to give this a chance before that opportunity had a chance to leave you behind.

And for me I will never undermine the time when I came to a decision to embark upon this mission to see this thing through.

You know what else?

Unforeseen forces still have a place in this investment. You all have to understand I never sold you on me being the authority over this process. Some conflate this being that I have a lot of followers. And this is not how things work around here.

I haven’t never misplace God to presume that just because I am informed on the inner workings of things that I have any right to challenge how God sees this and what his objective is which has noted to do with what man wants.

 So I will leave you with this tonight and hope you change your tune. Because too many of us have latched on to figures in this movement and forgot who is running the show.

Because I will tell you right now. Iraq is positioning for something that could speed up everything drastically given the below actions that I will try to explain. Which totally goes against everything I have told you since this account opened.

Which will only show you how amazing our creator is. Because he knows men down here have hard hearts and big egos. And they think stalling this will continue indefinitely. Let’s see how they could all be wrong.

Are You Ready To Go Deeper?

Sudden U.S. Debt Default Crisis Triggering Global Currency Reset

Scenario Overview: A sudden U.S. debt default crisis, sparked by Congress failing to raise the $36 trillion debt ceiling by October 2025 amid partisan gridlock, could destabilize the USD’s global dominance, pushing Iraq to revalue the IQD overnight to capitalize on the chaos.

With U.S. Treasury yields spiking (10-year notes hitting 6% from 4.2%), global markets would dump USD assets, slashing the dollar’s value by 20-30% in days.

Iraq, holding $50 billion in USD-denominated reserves, faces a choice: lose trillions in value or revalue the IQD to a gold-backed rate (e.g., 1:1 or 3:1 USD) to preserve wealth and attract FDI.

The CBI, already prepped with XRP-paired systems post-Ripple-SEC resolution (March 2025), could execute this in a weekend, aligning with BRICS nations (China, Russia) pushing a gold-backed currency, as discussed at the July 2025 Kazan summit.

@JoelKatz’s X posts on XRP’s role as a “bridge currency” underscore this: Iraq’s digital infrastructure enables instant Forex integration.

Mechanics and Acceleration:

The CBI would announce an emergency rate shift on a Sunday (e.g., October 12, 2025), updating SWIFT codes and ATMs during a 48-hour bank closure, with capital controls capping withdrawals at $3,000 to curb panic.

Iraq’s 162.7 tons of gold ($17.4 billion, Q2 2025) would back the IQD, leveraging a global gold price surge (potentially $3,000/oz post-USD crash) to justify a 1:1 rate, turning $35 billion in U.S.-held Iraqi reserves into trillions in value.

The U.S. Treasury, desperate to stabilize markets, would greenlight this via backchannel talks (ongoing since April 2025), bypassing HCL delays. @KuwlShow’s X insights on Iraq’s readiness “banks are done, RV imminent” align, as CBI’s $40 billion H1 2025 currency sales show capacity to absorb volatility.

Global investors, fleeing USD, would pour $100 billion into Iraq’s oil and tech sectors, cementing the rate. This wild card, though extreme, is plausible given U.S. debt ceiling talks (last raised January 2025) and could force Iraq’s hand by November.

This scenario accelerates revaluation by exploiting a black-swan event, collapsing USD hegemony and elevating IQD as a safe-haven asset. The Deepstate’s grip tied to petrodollar control would fracture.

 “A reset is coming.” Iraq, with WTO files completed and digital payments at 70% adoption, could seize this window, turning IQD holders’ $1,000 into $1 million at 1:1.

The shock factor: a U.S. default, unseen since 1971’s gold standard exit, would rewrite global finance overnight, making Iraq a linchpin.

Allow me to throw in my own scenario that is very out of left field but totally plausible.

This Only Shows How Wild Things Can Get

Wild Card 2: Breakthrough in Suppressed Zero-Point Energy Technology Disclosure

Scenario Overview: A rogue disclosure of zero-point energy (ZPE) technology, leaked by a Space Force whistleblower in September 2025, could reveal operational reactors (per Lockheed Martin’s 2018 at Groom Lake, Nevada, capable of 10 megawatts in a 1-meter cube.

This would crash oil prices to $40/barrel (from $85), as ZPE renders fossil fuels obsolete, forcing Iraq to revalue the IQD immediately to protect its $117 trillion oil-based budget and attract tech-driven FDI.

The CBI, aware of suppressed tech via BRICS intel (Russia’s 1989 Siberian crash tech), would pivot to a dinar backed by gold and future ZPE contracts, announcing a 1:1 rate by October 2025 to preempt economic collapse.

As Space Force’s 2023 UAP hearings teased non-human tech. Iraq’s $500 billion Prosperity Fund, seeded by RV, would fund ZPE infrastructure, positioning it as a global tech hub. Do you see how odd this would be alone?

Another Big Print Is Coming: Inflation to Get Worse, Fed May Not Survive | Larry Lepard

Another Big Print Is Coming: Inflation to Get Worse, Fed May Not Survive | Larry Lepard (Part 1/2)

Miles Franklin Metals:  9-3-2025

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, interviews Lawrence Lepard, Founder of Equity Management Associates and author of The Big Print: What Happened to America and How Sound Money Will Fix It.

In Part 1 of this interview, Lepard issues a stark warning:

Another massive print is on the horizon – bigger than anything we’ve seen before

Inflation isn’t a policy failure, it’s a feature of the system, and it’s about to get much worse

The Federal Reserve’s credibility is collapsing and the U.S. central bank may not survive the next crisis

America’s monetary system is broken by design, driving inequality, asset bubbles, and civil unrest

The next Fourth Turning will center on the battle between sound money and fiat destruction

Lepard breaks down how we got here – from Bretton Woods to Nixon closing the gold window – and why today’s unsound money is not just an economic issue, but a political and moral one. Are we heading toward hyperinflation, collapse, and a full monetary reset?

Can we build a post-Fed financial system based on gold, silver, and Bitcoin? This is the monetary endgame. You need to understand it before it hits.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we dive deeper into how this Fourth Turning will play out, revaluation scenarios, and what the next monetary system will look like – a gold standard, Bitcoin, or something else?

Gold Just Hit Another All-Time High—What’s Next?

Podcast: Gold Just Hit Another All-Time High—What’s Next?

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)   September 3, 2025

You might be surprised to know that the government is facing yet another shutdown at the stroke of midnight on September 30. 

A lot of people might be thinking two things: First— “again?” And second— what about the “One Big Beautiful Bill”? 

The One Big Beautiful Bill, signed into law on July 4, did not, in fact, contain all the necessary resolutions to fund the government for the next fiscal year (which starts on October 1). 

As a result, Congress still needs to pass 12 appropriations bills in order to avoid a shutdown at the stroke of midnight on September 30. 

From what we can tell, the Trump administration seems to be pushing for spending cuts this time around, which is great. I sincerely hope they are successful, because the country desperately needs fiscal restraint. 

But at this point, it’s up to Congress—and that’s far from a foregone conclusion. 

The most likely scenario is they’ll just punt any real decision-making and instead pass a stopgap continuing resolution that will merely add to the deficit. 

In short, America will remain on its current trajectory—which the Congressional Budget Office estimates about $25 trillion in additional deficit spending over the next ten years. 

This is why so many foreign governments and central banks are aggressively working to establish some kind of alternative to the US dollar as the global reserve currency. 

Most likely, they won’t be very successful—simply because nobody trusts the Chinese or the Russians. India has far too many capital controls. So does Brazil. 

And as large as these countries may be in combined economic power, they have completely different economic priorities. Plus they don’t even trust one other. 

So the prospect of some “BRICS dollar” emerging as a serious competitor to the US dollar’s reserve status is laughable. 

But there actually is a serious competitor already—and that’s gold. 

The reason why is simple: no single country controls gold. There’s no supranational agency that can regulate the gold price. Gold is a free market, all about supply and demand, and it happens to be an asset nearly every central bank on the planet already owns. 

This is the reason why gold has surged to an all-time high—because foreign central banks just keep buying so much of it. 

And they’re doing it to reduce their exposure to the US dollar, and to reduce the hold and power the US government has over them. 

We think this trend is absolutely going to continue. 

And that’s why we’re still in the early days of this gold boom. 

In today’s podcast, we discuss all this, as well as:

• The global sell-off of US Treasuries and the pivot by foreign central banks toward gold.

• Why foreign governments and central banks now own more gold than US Treasuries for the first time in decades.

• Historical lessons—from the Byzantine empire to Venetian gold ducats—on what happens when trust in a currency breaks down.

• How central banks are also eyeing platinum and strategic assets as alternatives to the dollar.

• Why well-managed gold and silver producers could deliver outsized returns compared to the metals themselves.

• How owning gold today is a hedge against US fiscal chaos and a way to offset the increased costs of inflation.

• Why we’re still in the early innings of a gold bull market, even with prices already at record highs.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Afternoon 9-4-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS News:  Sri Lanka, Kenya, Panama Snub US Dollar, Take BRICS Loan in Yuan

Emerging economies turn to China’s cheaper yuan financing as an alternative to the dollar, raising questions about the future of U.S. currency dominance.Cheaper Loans, Strategic Savings

Developing nations are increasingly looking to Beijing for funding—and specifically in Chinese yuan. Kenya, Panama, and Sri Lanka are the latest to strike loan deals with China, bypassing the U.S. dollar in favor of cheaper financing.

Panama saved over $200 million by switching its loan currency to yuan, citing lower foreign exchange costs.

• Kenya secured a $5 billion yuan-denominated loan from China’s Exim Bank for a major railway project.

• Sri Lanka has requested yuan financing to revive stalled infrastructure projects, a request Beijing is expected to approve.

For these governments, the decision is not ideological but financial: yuan loans simply cost less.

BRICS Leverages Yuan Appeal
China, a leading member of BRICS, is actively promoting yuan lending as a competitive alternative to dollar debt.

• Borrowing costs in U.S. dollars currently range between 4.25%–4.50%.

• Loans in yuan are offered at rates near 1.4%, a dramatic difference.

• By providing cheaper financing, Beijing not only secures influence in the Global South but also accelerates the yuan’s international use.

Experts note that these arrangements, while pragmatic, fall short of full-scale de-dollarization. For most borrowers, it is about lowering costs rather than permanently shifting away from the dollar.

Dollar Demand at Risk
Still, the optics are significant. Each yuan loan chips away at the dollar’s role in global finance. By positioning the yuan as a low-cost borrowing currency, China offers developing countries a financial lifeline that Washington cannot easily match.

While U.S. officials dismiss these moves as temporary, the trend points toward a slow erosion of dollar demand, particularly in regions where infrastructure and debt relief dominate political priorities.

Global Context: U.S. Debt Meets BRICS Strategy
This comes at a time when U.S. debt exceeds $36 trillion, with interest costs ballooning due to higher rates. The juxtaposition is stark:

• Washington is paying more to service its own debt.

• Meanwhile, BRICS nations are extending cheap yuan loans abroad, undercutting the dollar’s financing appeal.

This dual dynamic—rising U.S. fiscal strain vs. BRICS yuan lending—amplifies the global conversation on de-dollarization. While not yet a structural shift, these financing decisions strengthen BRICS’ broader campaign to diversify away from dollar dominance in trade, energy, and now sovereign debt.

Why This Matters
Kenya, Sri Lanka, and Panama may see yuan loans as a practical cost-saving measure, but the broader effect is strategic: BRICS is normalizing non-dollar financing. The more countries choose yuan debt, the more the global system adapts to multiple reserve currencies—a development that could accelerate pressure on the U.S. to defend the dollar’s role in world markets.

I always said the final battle would be between these two. The story is unfolding now.

Think about this: Foreign central banks now own more gold than U.S. Treasurys. Washington can print dollars and absorb its own debt at any time it wants. The world knows where that road leads… currency debasement. Prediction 3 from 5 years ago is now playing out in real time:

Prediction: Three very likely things are going to happen in the next 5 years:

1) Outright default on a large proportion of public debt.

2) Wipe out debts through currency debasement

 3) A transition to a new monetary standard to automatically deleverage debt. GOLD!

Jeff   There's a lot of amazing news out there... Just so you know, the original [Iraqi dinar] currency devaluation occurred back in the month of September around 2004 or 2005. September is a critical piece right now based on everything out there.

Militia Man It is fascinating to see how far Iraq has come in the process of a revaluation, IMV a redenomination, and an application of a real effective exchange rate...Hopefully what we're going to see is they'll be doing these things for international Forex markets...  Article quote:   "This formalization supports the groundwork for potential revaluation or redenomination as a more controlled money supply enhances the CBI's ability to adjust the currency's nominal or real value without destabilizing the economy."

Walkingstick  Can Iraq be part of the WTO and have 1310 as their value?  Yeah...You may say to yourself, 'they need a high value.  They need a respectable value...?'  No...To be a member of the WTO means the most important thing for the Iraqi dinar...What is so good about the Iraqi dinar being represented by the WTO or what is so good about the WTO being represented by the dinar?  ...To be a member of the WTO means there's no restrictions on their currency.  Anyone and everyone can buy, sell, and trade with the Iraqi dinar.  That's as free as the wind.  Therefore, it's sovereign.  Therefore it's going to grow in value...as the weeks, months and even years go by...That's the whole purpose.

Gold & Silver Update: This Isn’t a Rally—It’s a Currency Reset

Mike Maloney:  9-4-2025

Is gold really “going up”—or are currencies falling?

In this Gold & Silver Update, Mike Maloney breaks down why he believes we’re living through a global monetary reset, where structural demand meets tight supply and the paper gold system looks stretched.

 In this video:

 Gold’s surge explained: currency devaluation vs. asset boom

New demand pipes: China insurers’ physical buying, India pensions eyeing gold access, Indonesia prioritizing domestic reserves

Why retail hasn’t piled in—and why that matters

 Paper vs. physical: leasing, rehypothecation, GLD tonnage vs. price, and delivery risk

Silver’s setup vs. its 1980 inflation-adjusted high Long-term log charts: how prior 4× steps point to much higher potential prices

Real-world pricing in grams of gold (Venezuela example)

 Mike’s approach: accumulate gold & silver, let the gold–silver ratio guide the mix (not financial advice)

 If you care about purchasing power, sovereign demand, and the fault lines between paper and physical markets, watch to the end.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Morning 9-4-25

US Official Confirms They Will Not Withdraw From Iraq

United States has reiterated its lack of plans to withdraw from Iraq, emphasizing that its forces remain in the country at the official invitation of the government.

A US military official said in press statements that “Washington is not making any withdrawal from Iraq, and US forces are remaining at the invitation of the government,” noting that “any redeployment of these forces will be subject to an assessment of the security situation.”

The US official affirmed the United States’ commitment to “a sustainable relationship with Iraq on the security and military levels.”

This US position comes after media reports in recent days spoke of a complete withdrawal of US forces from Baghdad. The US embassy also denied this, stating that its presence in Iraq is based on “bilateral agreements” aimed at supporting Iraqi forces.

For months, discussions have been ongoing between Baghdad and Washington to reorganize the US presence within the framework of an “advisory and training mission” rather than a direct combat role.

Economist: Iraq Enjoys Financial Stability Thanks To The Central Bank's Reserves.

Economy | 04:47 - 03/09/2025  Mawazine News - Baghdad -  Economic advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Wednesday that financial stability in Iraq is solid, and no worrying indicators have emerged so far, despite the external challenges and geopolitical shocks witnessed worldwide.

Saleh said, "Financial concerns are mainly due to the repercussions of external shocks such as trade wars and fluctuations in energy prices, but Iraq has proven its resilience thanks to the Central Bank's foreign currency reserves."

He added, "Monetary policy plays a pivotal role in stimulating the domestic financing market and supporting public liquidity, ensuring the implementation of government development programs and infrastructure projects, which is directly reflected in stimulating the labor market and enhancing economic activity."

He pointed out that "the strong coordination between fiscal and monetary policies dispels any fears of recession and even enhances the sustainability of economic stability, in light of low inflation and unemployment rates, high growth rates, and the launch of the social market strategy that balances protecting livelihoods and supporting investment and reconstruction."

Oil Prices Touch $70 Per Barrel

Energy  Economy News – Baghdad  Oil prices stabilized in Asian trading on Wednesday, maintaining the previous session's gains driven by US sanctions, as the market looks ahead to the OPEC+ meeting early next week.

Brent crude fell 1 cent, or 0.01%, to $69.13 a barrel by 00:32 GMT.

While US West Texas Intermediate crude rose four cents, or 0.06%, to $65.63 a barrel.

Crude oil had risen more than 1% at settlement in the previous session after the United States imposed sanctions on a network of ships and shipping companies run by a businessman with dual Iraqi and St. Kitts and Nevis citizenship for smuggling Iranian oil under the guise of Iraqi crude.

A preliminary Reuters poll showed on Tuesday that U.S. crude oil inventories fell last week, along with distillate and gasoline stocks.

Three analysts polled by Reuters before the release of the weekly inventory data estimated that crude oil inventories fell by an average of about 3.4 million barrels in the week ending August 29.

weak data

Weak economic data kept prices range-bound.

The US manufacturing sector contracted for the sixth consecutive month as tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump weighed on business confidence and economic activity, which in turn impacted expectations for crude demand.

The market is awaiting the results of a meeting of eight members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies on September 7.Analysts say the group is unlikely to approve further changes to production at this time. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=59584

China Estimates Its Trade Volume With Iraq At Nearly $200 Billion.

Economy |  03/09/2025  Mawazine News - Baghdad -  The Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Iraq, Xu Haifeng, confirmed today, Wednesday, that Iraq is a key partner for his country, noting that China imported about 64 million tons of crude oil from Iraq in 2024.

Haifeng said in a press conference held in Baghdad on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory over Japan that Chinese companies have been working in the energy sector in Iraq for many years, especially after 2003, and have contributed to the reconstruction of the oil sector and the export of crude oil to foreign markets. He stressed the readiness of both the Iraqi and Chinese sides to enhance cooperation in the fields of oil and electricity, with expectations of more diverse partnerships in the future.

The Chinese diplomat added that his country has invited 26 countries, including heads of government, parliaments, political and military leaders, to participate in China's celebrations of its victory over Japan.

He pointed out that the Chinese president stressed in his speech that the resistance of the Chinese people was the first struggle against foreign aggression and contributed to saving human civilization. He affirmed his country's commitment to working with countries around the world to build a bright future for humanity.

Haifeng explained that China's relations with its neighboring countries during World War II were intertwined, as the peoples of the region fought battles against Japanese aggression.

 In response to our correspondent, the Chinese diplomat indicated that his country is today open to economic cooperation in Iraq, through its companies operating in the fields of energy, electricity and communications.
He pointed out that cooperation between China and Iraq includes combating terrorism, as Beijing provides training programs for Iraqi security forces.

The Chinese official concluded his remarks to the agency by pointing out that the volume of trade between the two sides reached approximately $200 billion in 2024. He explained that Chinese companies have also participated in the reconstruction of the Kurdistan Region's economy, with financial cooperation expanding over the past two years.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Federal Reserve to Put Stablecoins at Center of October Payments Conference

Fed sets October 21 summit to examine tokenization, AI, and stablecoin business models as Congress advances digital asset regulation.

Fed Puts Stablecoins in the Spotlight
The U.S. Federal Reserve has announced a high-profile conference on October 21 to explore the future of payments innovation, with stablecoins taking center stage.

The event will bring together regulators, financial institutions, and technology leaders to discuss how tokenization, decentralized finance, and artificial intelligence could reshape the global payments system.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher J. Waller described the conference as part of the Fed’s commitment to balance innovation with stability:

“Innovation has been a constant in payments to meet the changing needs of consumers and businesses.”

Conference Agenda: Tokenization, AI, and DeFi
The Payments Innovation Conference will feature panels on:

• Stablecoin business models and their role in global finance

• The convergence of traditional banking and decentralized finance

• Tokenization as a tool for transforming asset ownership and transfers

• Artificial intelligence in the payments sector

The event will be livestreamed on the Fed’s website, with further details to be released closer to the date.

Stablecoins Gain Ground in Financial Markets
The conference comes amid rapid growth in stablecoins, which now exceed $230 billion in circulation globally. Tokens such as Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC have become essential to crypto markets and are increasingly viewed as bridges to traditional finance.

Policymakers are weighing whether stablecoins could improve efficiency in payments—or risk destabilizing banking systems if they begin to replace deposits or disrupt existing financial infrastructure.

Shifting U.S. Regulatory Landscape
The Fed’s move follows Congress’ passage of the first federal stablecoin legislation in July, giving banks clearer rules for issuing dollar-backed tokens. Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman has urged regulators to take a more hands-on approach, even suggesting that Fed staff hold small amounts of crypto to better understand blockchain technology.

Bowman warned that an “overly cautious mindset” could leave the U.S. banking system less relevant, while tokenization could offer efficiency gains in asset transfers.

Fed Pulls Back Specialized Crypto Oversight
The October conference also comes against the backdrop of the Fed scaling back its oversight of banks’ crypto activities.

• In April, the Fed rescinded supervisory letters requiring banks to seek approval before engaging in stablecoin or crypto services.

• In August, it ended its Novel Activities Supervision Program, which had closely monitored banks’ digital-asset ventures.

The Fed said the program had achieved its goal of better understanding risks, while critics had called it a barrier to innovation.

Lawmakers like Senator Cynthia Lummis hailed the rollback as a victory over what she and others called “Operation Chokepoint 2.0.” President Donald Trump has also criticized excessive oversight, framing it as part of a “debanking” agenda.

Legislative Push for Clarity
At the same time, lawmakers have advanced several bills during “Crypto Week” in July:

• CLARITY Act – Distinguishes securities from commodities.

• GENIUS Act – Provides federal oversight for stablecoin issuers.

• Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act – Blocks creation of a U.S. central bank digital currency.

Together, these moves reflect Washington’s pivot toward a more crypto-friendly policy environment.

Why This Matters
The Federal Reserve’s October conference signals a major step in placing stablecoins at the center of U.S. financial policy discussions. With Congress pushing forward legislation and the Fed scaling back restrictive oversight, the stage is set for a recalibration of how digital assets and traditional banking will coexist.

The outcome could shape not only the role of stablecoins but also the future of payments innovation in the U.S. and beyond.

Lagarde Warns EU Stablecoin Rules Could Leave Europe Exposed

ECB chief calls for stronger legislation and global coordination to address liquidity risks in the fast-growing stablecoin market.

ECB Flags Stablecoin Risks
European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde has urged lawmakers to accelerate legislative action to address vulnerabilities tied to stablecoins.

Speaking at the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) conference on Sept. 3, Lagarde cautioned that while stablecoins represent innovation, they also bring back long-recognized risks in new forms.

“The categories of risk they create are not new. They are risks long familiar to supervisors and regulators,” she said.

Liquidity as the Immediate Concern
Lagarde stressed that liquidity mismatches pose the most pressing threat. Stablecoin issuers often promise instant redemption at par value, even while investing in assets that may not be liquid enough to withstand sudden redemption demands.

• Such mismatches can trigger destabilizing runs.

• She pointed to the 2007 Northern Rock collapse in the UK as a cautionary tale, where a withdrawal demand of just 5% of assets triggered failure.

• By contrast, Tether managed redemptions of nearly 30% of its reserves in 2022 without collapsing, underscoring the varied resilience of issuers.

Weakness in MiCA Framework
Lagarde also flagged gaps in the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.

Under current “multi-issuance schemes,” an EU entity can issue fungible stablecoins jointly with a non-EU partner. However, MiCA requirements do not extend to the non-EU issuer.

This could mean:

• EU issuers bear disproportionate redemption pressure.

• Reserve adequacy may fall short during stress.

• The structure mirrors earlier problems in cross-border banking, where regulators imposed liquidity standards like the net stable funding ratio to prevent mismatches.

Without equivalent safeguards for stablecoins, Europe could become the weak link in global redemption flows.

Call for Stronger Legislation and Global Standards
Lagarde called on lawmakers to close loopholes by tightening rules around cross-border stablecoin schemes.

“We must take concrete steps now. European legislation should ensure that such schemes cannot operate in the EU unless supported by robust equivalence regimes in other jurisdictions and safeguards relating to the transfer of assets between the EU and non-EU entities,” she said.

She also emphasized the need for international coordination, warning that without global standards, risks could migrate to jurisdictions with the weakest protections—undermining European financial safeguards.

Why This Matters
Stablecoins have grown into a $230+ billion market globally, making them a central pillar of the digital asset economy. Lagarde’s remarks highlight Europe’s concern that without stronger protections, the EU could face disproportionate financial risk while becoming a regulatory soft spot in global markets.

Congress Prepares Market Structure Bill as Stablecoin and Tokenization Debates Intensify

Lawmakers return from recess with crypto regulation high on the agenda, building on the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts while the Fed prepares its October Payments Innovation Conference.

Congress Returns With Heavy Agenda
Crypto may be in its last quiet period before major regulatory activity begins in Washington. According to Ron Hammond, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Wintermute, this week could be the final lull before Congress moves forward with sweeping action on digital assets.

Lawmakers returned from recess in early September facing the threat of a government shutdown. Yet crypto remains near the top of the list. The Senate is preparing its own version of a market structure bill, aiming to define how digital assets are regulated in the U.S.

The House already passed the bipartisan CLARITY Act earlier this year, establishing clearer definitions between securities and commodities. The Senate, however, wants to draft its own approach. A first draft is expected by mid-to-late September, with committee review likely to follow in the fall.

Market Structure Bill: What to Expect
The House has worked on market structure proposals for nearly eight years, but the Senate only began serious hearings this year. Senators want greater ownership of the process, including revisiting definitions of ancillary assets and decentralization tests.

If momentum continues, a Senate vote could happen in late October or November, with the House potentially taking it up before year-end. That timeline means a bill could pass before Christmas—or be pushed into 2026.

TradFi vs. Crypto: The Tokenization Debate
Alongside market structure, tokenization of traditional assets is drawing sharper focus.

• Wall Street firms like Citadel have voiced skepticism, citing risks tied to tokenized securities.

• Firms such as Galaxy Digital, meanwhile, argue tokenization enhances efficiency and expands investor access.

• The SEC is expected to release guidance on tokenized equities, further intensifying the debate in Washington.

Banks Push Back Against Stablecoins
Stablecoins are another flashpoint. The House’s GENIUS Act, passed in July, provided a framework for dollar-backed stablecoin issuance. But banks are lobbying to go further, particularly against interest-bearing stablecoins.

• Banks fear these products could drain deposits from the financial system.

• Earlier compromises limited stablecoin issuers, but banks now want tighter restrictions extending to affiliates, brokers, and dealers.

• The crypto industry counters that stablecoins promote efficiency, transparency, and lower cross-border payment costs.

The Senate’s market structure draft is expected to revisit these issues, potentially expanding or refining GENIUS Act provisions.

Fed’s Role in the Debate
Congress is not acting in isolation. The Federal Reserve has scheduled a Payments Innovation Conference on October 21, where stablecoins will take center stage alongside tokenization and AI in payments.

The timing underscores how legislative and regulatory momentum are converging. As lawmakers debate new rules, the Fed is also exploring the risks and opportunities of stablecoin business models—signaling that digital asset oversight is becoming a coordinated priority across branches of government.

Global Context: Europe’s Stablecoin Alarm
The U.S. debate comes just as Europe raises its own red flags. Earlier this month, ECB President Christine Lagarde warned that gaps in the EU’s MiCA framework could leave Europe vulnerable to destabilizing redemption flows from cross-border stablecoin schemes.

• Lagarde urged lawmakers to close loopholes that allow non-EU issuers to sidestep European liquidity standards.

• She cautioned that without stronger safeguards, the EU could become the “weak link” in global financial stability.

• Her call highlighted the urgent need for international coordination on stablecoin rules.

While the U.S. is moving toward a pro-innovation stance with the GENIUS Act, CLARITY Act, and pending Senate bill, Europe is focused on tightening safeguards to prevent systemic risks. Together, these parallel moves show how both Washington and Brussels are racing to shape the next phase of digital asset regulation—but with sharply different priorities.

Odds of Passage
Prediction markets currently place the odds of a U.S. market structure bill passing this year at around 40%. Hammond, however, believes the chances are stronger, citing bipartisan momentum and the recent passage of both the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act as proof that crypto legislation is finally gaining traction.

“The right people are talking,” he said, suggesting the Senate and House could align before year-end.

Why This Matters
The next few months could be decisive for U.S. digital asset policy. With the CLARITY Act clarifying asset classifications, the GENIUS Act establishing stablecoin oversight, and the Fed’s October conference spotlighting payments innovation, the stage is set for a comprehensive framework to emerge.

Globally, as Lagarde’s warnings underscore, the U.S. and EU are taking different but complementary paths—America leaning into innovation, Europe focusing on risk prevention. Together, these efforts may determine how stablecoins and tokenized assets reshape the financial system worldwide.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday Morning 9-4-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Economist: Iraq enjoys financial stability thanks to the Central Bank's reserves.

Economic advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Wednesday that financial stability in Iraq is solid, and no worrying indicators have yet emerged, despite the external challenges and geopolitical shocks facing the world. 

Saleh told Al-Maalouma that "financial concerns are mainly due to the repercussions of external shocks such as trade wars and energy price fluctuations, but Iraq has proven its resilience thanks to the Central Bank's foreign currency reserves."

He added that "monetary policy plays a pivotal role in stimulating the domestic financing market and supporting public liquidity, ensuring the implementation of government development programs and infrastructure projects, which is directly reflected in stimulating the labor market and enhancing economic activity."

He pointed out that "the strong coordination between fiscal and monetary policies dispels any fears of recession and even enhances the sustainability of economic stability, in light of low inflation and unemployment rates, high growth rates, and the launch of the social market strategy that balances protecting livelihoods and supporting investment and reconstruction."  link

Tishwash:  Exciting figures: Iraq ranks high globally in its use of cryptocurrencies.

The Global Adoption Index for Cryptocurrencies revealed solutions Iraq It ranks relatively high, as it is among the top third of countries in the world that use cryptocurrencies.

The sixth edition of the Global Cryptocurrency Adoption Index reveals the extent of cryptocurrency adoption at the grassroots level. The index consists of four sub-indices and ranks 151 countries, with a final score ranging from 1 to 0. The closer a country's score is to 1, the higher its cryptocurrency adoption rate.

And he came Iraq It is ranked 44th globally out of 151 countries, which makes it among the top third globally in the use of cryptocurrencies, and achieved points of 0.05, outperforming Saudi Arabia And Oman, Kuwait, the Emirates, Qatar, and Bahrain, but Türkiye Yemen and Jordan outperformed Iraq.

Data indicate that the region Asia and the ocean The guide It was the fastest-growing region for cryptocurrency activity on the supply chain, with value received increasing by 69% year-on-year over the past 12 months, and total cryptocurrency transaction volume in the region rose Asia Pacific From US$1.4 trillion to US$2.36 trillion.  link

Tishwash:  Capital and global confidence: Iraq is on a journey to find global partners to build a diversified economy.

 Economic and financial expert Rashid Al-Saadi stressed, on Wednesday (September 3, 2025), the importance of increasing foreign investment in Iraq during the next phase, emphasizing its vital role in promoting sustainable economic growth and diversifying sources of income away from reliance on oil.

Al-Saadi told Baghdad Today, "Attracting foreign capital is a fundamental pillar for revitalizing the productive and service sectors. It enables technology transfer and national capacity building, as well as enhancing the competitiveness of the local market."

He added, "Iraq possesses promising investment potential, including natural resources, a strategic geographic location, and a young workforce. However, improving the business environment, simplifying bureaucratic procedures, and enhancing transparency and the rule of law remain essential to attracting investors and achieving long-term partnerships."

Al-Saadi continued, "Increasing foreign investment is a vital step to support economic stability and create new job opportunities, particularly in the industrial, agricultural, renewable energy, and information technology sectors. This requires formulating incentive policies and flexible legislation that align with international standards and give global companies the confidence to enter the Iraqi market."

In recent years, Iraq has witnessed a growing effort to diversify its sources of income and reduce its dependence on oil, particularly following the economic challenges posed by fluctuating energy prices and the global financial crisis.

Although Iraq possesses strong investment potential, such as abundant natural resources, a strategic geographic location, and a young workforce, challenges related to the business environment, bureaucratic procedures, and lack of transparency remain barriers to foreign capital flows.

Accordingly, economists and experts emphasize the need to adopt stimulating legislative policies and ensure legal stability to encourage international companies to confidently enter the Iraqi market and establish long-term partnerships  link

Tishwash:  Baghdad, Erbil agree on ASYCUDA customs system and unified company ID

The Iraqi federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government have agreed to implement the ASYCUDA customs system and adopt a unified economic number for companies, aiming to settle years of disputes that have slowed trade and investment.

The Kurdistan Region’s Ministry of Trade and Industry said the meeting brought together directors general of company registration, industrial development, customs, and quality control, along with representatives from the Interior Ministry and Sami al-Sudani, adviser to the federal prime minister.

Officials decided to enforce the 14-digit Unified Economic Number as a prerequisite for using ASYCUDA services. Companies in the Kurdistan Region will no longer need a separate tax ID, and will now be able to conduct import and export activities under the same conditions as firms in central and southern Iraq. link

Why So Few People Feel Secure About Money — Even When They Have Lots of It

Why So Few People Feel Secure About Money — Even When They Have Lots of It

And why the neighbors of lottery winners are often worse off.

Yahoo Creator  Sean Kernan  June 21, 2024

I’m not rich by any means. But I’ve done well enough to be comfortable, mostly because I saved aggressively early in my career. Yet I still feel like I’m only a stone’s throw from being in poverty, which is slightly irrational.  I remember having no money and having to budget until my next paycheck or risk groveling to my parents for help. It wasn’t a good life. And it still feels like yesterday, even though so many years have passed. Sadly, many people feel this way.

And to some extent — this stress can be constructive. It can mitigate risky spending. You’ll certainly never catch me with problematic expensive hobbies. But I wish I could feel more at ease about my station in life. Many of my friends are in this same psychological boat too. My buddy Brian is a software engineer, who has been making north of $180K per year — for years on end — while living in a low-cost area, and he’s still as cheap as he’s ever been.

So Why Are We Like This? How Do We Level Up And Counteract This Financial Anxiety?

The Origins Of The Problem People tend to downgrade their financial standing. For example, per a survey by the financial firm Ameriprise Financial, only 13% of American millionaires classify themselves as wealthy. Even among those who had more than $5M in total assets — many still said they didn’t feel rich.

These weren’t people living in Silicon Valley, where $5M only gets you a shack. These were everyday people from all around the United States — still feeling underfunded.

Part of this is because of the disappearance of pensions — and fear that we’ll live on our savings and social security to get us through to old age. Both of my grandfathers had pensions, with one of them having two full separate pensions (military and government). But we are now the 401K generation — in a system that is more stressful than ever.

Why do people who have so much still feel sad about their financial standing?

Elizabeth Dunn, psychology professor at The University of British Columbia, and co-author of Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending, looked into this very question. She found that social comparison, in particular, drives much of our financial dissatisfaction.

How we compare our income to others of similar age, education, and region of residence, greatly shapes our self-perceptions and satisfaction. Unsurprisingly, those who compared themselves to groups of higher income, tended to be less happy and more anxious about money.

Unfortunately, a majority of people tend to do upward comparisons. The severity of this impact was most notable: “The income of the reference group is about as important as one’s own income for individual happiness.”

It pains me to admit it: I’m 100% a victim of this statistic. I often watch videos of lavish mansion tours on YouTube, despite knowing the likelihood of me ever owning such a property is slim (unless I somehow write the next iteration of Atomic Habits).

But I still enjoy oohing and aahing over the stunning architecture, classy furniture and paintings hanging on the walls. It’s entirely possible this admiration is only heightening my anxiety about money.

Yet I know as well as you that the person in that mansion isn’t likely to be happier than the rest of us. Within a year of becoming rich, or facing tragedy, the vast majority of people return to their baseline happiness.

What’s most telling is that winning the lottery can significantly impact your neighbor’s wellbeing. One study in Canada found that as the magnitude of someone’s lottery winnings went up, their neighbors odds of financial distress and borrowing increased alongside it.
