What does this imply for XRP?

A: Taken together, these developments strengthen the case for XRP’s potential role as neutral, global bridge liquidity. They point toward a world with more regulated digital dollars, clearer rules for digital asset markets, and continued demand to move value between sovereign payment systems.

That is the setting in which XRP’s ability to bridge currencies and networks becomes more economically relevant.

The strong implications are:

More viable payment corridors. Saudi Arabia’s reported departure from mBridge leaves open how it will approach future cross-border digital payments. It increases the strategic importance of interoperable options without prescribing one.

Less friction for institutional use. The SEC–CFTC Project Crypto effort and Treasury’s GENIUS Act implementation address the rules institutions need before building and scaling digital asset services. That can expand the market for XRPL infrastructure, RLUSD, and XRP liquidity.

Greater value in a neutral bridge. If sovereign nations retain different currencies, laws, and preferred networks, they still need a way to exchange value across those boundaries. XRP’s opportunity grows with the number and volume of those exchanges.

A clear shift from speculation to utility. The meaningful demand driver will be repeat payment and settlement flow that uses XRP for global liquidity. More flow, more corridors, and more capital committed to serving the entire world should change how the market values XRP.

So the plain spoken answer is: these pieces together make XRP’s use case more relevant and potentially much larger.

They do not lead to a higher price from headlines alone; it’s the economic forces that come when changing rules and relationships turn into sustained cross-border volume.

Saudi Arabia: Threats To International Navigation Could Affect Global Economy

Arab and International  Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan said on Saturday evening that the Kingdom supports the Iraqi government in the file of limiting arms to the state and enhancing the country's sovereignty and security, pointing out the importance of Iraqi territory not to be a starting point for aggression against neighboring countries.

In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, bin Farhan said that Saudi Arabia and the countries of the region have been subjected to "brute Iranian attacks," stressing that the security of the Gulf region is an integral part of the security of the region and the world.

Efforts to restore security in the region cannot be based on hegemony and the imposition of influence, he said, stressing that any arrangements related to the security of the region should be comprehensive and sustainable.

He warned that the dangers that threaten international navigation may affect the global economy, stressing the importance of ensuring freedom of navigation in all international waterways, calling for the importance of the return of the Strait of Hormuz to work before the war without imposing fees, pointing out that the restoration of global supply chains is a joint responsibility.

The Saudi minister also stressed the need for the region to be free of weapons of destruction and the subjection of peaceful nuclear facilities to international control. https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=74373i

Iraq Imports First Gasoline Batch Through Syria

2026-09-25 03:07   Shafaq News- Baghdad   Iraq has begun importing its first batch of gasoline through Syria, an Iraqi oil source told Shafaq News on Friday, with the first shipments arriving at the Syrian port of Baniyas for onward transport by tanker truck.

Loading onto the trucks has begun ahead of their departure for Iraq, the source said, adding that the quantities, the supplier, and the route into the country would become clear once the transport is complete.

Baghdad and several Iraqi provinces have faced a gasoline shortage for weeks, after a brief easing last month, with long queues at filling stations and dozens of outlets closing.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

GLOBAL BOND RESET WATCH: RECORD-HIGH YIELDS PUT DEBT MARKETS AND CURRENCIES UNDER PRESSURE

Surging government-bond yields across major economies are exposing the growing connection between sovereign debt, inflation, interest rates, trade and currency stability.

 OVERVIEW

• U.S. Treasury yields have reached multi-decade highs, with the 10-year yield touching 5.2297%, its highest level since 2007, while the 30-year yield reached 5.5252%, its highest since 2004.

• Japan's 10-year yield also reached a multi-decade high, touching 3.121%, while several major central banks have raised rates or signaled concern about persistent inflation.

• A new China-U.S. trade development adds another layer to the financial picture: Beijing says the Trump-Xi summit produced an eight-point consensus that includes a reported $30 billion reciprocal tariff-reduction arrangement and a new AI dialogue.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. U.S. Treasury Yields Reach Levels Not Seen in Years

The global bond market remains under significant pressure.

The U.S. benchmark 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.2297%, its highest level since 2007, while the 30-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.5252%, the highest since 2004.

The move came even as oil prices eased somewhat, showing that bond-market concerns have become broader than the immediate movement in energy prices. Investors remain concerned about inflation and the possibility of additional Federal Reserve interest-rate increases.

Higher Treasury yields matter throughout the financial system because U.S. government bonds influence borrowing costs for governments, businesses, households and investors around the world.

2. Japan and Other Major Economies Face Rising Borrowing Costs

The pressure is not limited to the United States.

Japan's 10-year government-bond yield reached 3.121%, a level not seen since 1996. Reuters also reported that five of the Group of 10's most influential central banks had raised rates during September, while the others had either signaled potential increases or warned about rising inflation.

This creates an increasingly important global dynamic: governments are facing higher financing costs at the same time that debt levels remain elevated.

Higher yields can therefore affect both monetary policy and fiscal policy, particularly as governments refinance existing debt at higher interest rates.

 3. China-U.S. Trade Talks Add a Potential Counterweight

A significant development since the earlier market reporting came from the conclusion of Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Washington.

China said on September 26 that the United States and China had reached an eight-point consensus, including a reported $30 billion reciprocal tariff-reduction arrangement, the creation of a trade council and the launch of a new dialogue on artificial intelligence.

The two countries also agreed to extend outcomes from earlier talks and continue discussions, while maintaining a broader trade truce.

This is important for global markets because lower trade barriers could reduce some of the uncertainty surrounding international commerce. However, the announcement does not eliminate the broader pressures facing global bond markets.

Instead, the two developments illustrate the competing forces currently shaping the financial system: higher borrowing costs and inflation pressure on one side, and efforts to reduce trade friction on the other.

4. Bond Yields Are Increasingly Connected to Currencies

Higher U.S. yields can influence international capital flows because investors compare returns across major currencies and bond markets.

Reuters reported that expectations for additional Federal Reserve tightening were helping support the dollar, while the yen strengthened after Japan and the United States reaffirmed their commitment to currency stability.

This creates a direct connection between government debt, interest rates and currency markets.

When interest-rate expectations change significantly in one major economy, capital can move across borders in response, creating additional pressure on other currencies and financial markets.

 WHY IT MATTERS

The bond market is one of the most important foundations of the global financial system.

Government bonds influence interest rates, borrowing costs, investment decisions, currency values and capital flows. When yields rise sharply across several major economies at the same time, the effects can extend well beyond bond investors.

The current situation is particularly significant because several forces are interacting simultaneously:

Persistent inflation concerns + elevated energy prices + higher interest rates + large government borrowing needs = greater pressure on global debt markets.

At the same time, the reported China-U.S. tariff agreement introduces a potentially stabilizing factor for international trade by reducing some trade friction between the world's two largest economies.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

For foreign currency holders, rising bond yields matter because interest-rate differences can influence currency demand and international capital flows.

A currency connected to a country with relatively high interest rates can attract capital seeking higher returns, while currencies facing lower relative yields can come under pressure.

But currency movements are influenced by many factors, including economic growth, inflation, trade balances, central-bank policy, government finances and investor confidence.

The important Global Reset connection is therefore not that today's bond-market move guarantees a currency revaluation. Rather, it demonstrates how the underlying financial conditions that determine currency values are continuing to change.

 IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Debt

Higher bond yields increase the cost of refinancing government debt. Over time, persistent increases in borrowing costs can make debt management an increasingly important part of national economic policy.

• Pillar 2: Trade

The reported China-U.S. tariff-reduction arrangement could reduce some trade friction between the world's two largest economies. Continued negotiations could influence global supply chains, investment and international commerce.

• Pillar 3: Assets

Government bonds remain a benchmark for pricing many other financial assets. When long-term yields rise, investors reassess the relative value of equities, real estate, corporate debt and other investments.

• Pillar 4: Energy

Oil prices remain an important part of the inflation picture. Even though crude prices eased during the latest trading session, oil remained above $100 a barrel, keeping energy-related inflation concerns relevant to bond markets.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The latest bond-market moves show that global debt markets are entering a period in which inflation, interest rates and government borrowing costs are increasingly interconnected.

The new China-U.S. trade understanding provides a potentially important counterweight by offering a path toward lower tariff pressure and greater economic cooperation, but it does not remove the underlying challenges confronting global bond markets.

For Global Reset watchers, the bigger issue is the gradual restructuring of the financial environment itself: governments, central banks, currencies, trade systems and investors are all adjusting to a world of higher debt costs and changing international relationships.

The bigger story is not simply that bond yields are rising—it is that the foundations upon which currencies, debt, trade and global capital flows operate are being reshaped as the world financial system evolves.

America Keeps Threatening the Lenders It Can't Afford to Lose

America Keeps Threatening the Lenders It Can't Afford to Lose

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) September 24, 2026

Late last week, Congress and the White House established a new law authorizing the President to impose tariffs of up to 100% on any country that ranks among the five biggest buyers of Russian oil or gas.

This law had broad, bi-partisan support and passed by a whopping 86-11 margin in the otherwise deadlocked Senate, and 262-159 in the House of Representatives.

Their big idea is to penalize anyone who supports Russia economically by buying their oil & gas, and that specifically singles out China and India— the biggest buyers of Russian crude.

In fairness, India and China aren’t buying Russian oil to help prop up Putin or assist him in winning the war. They don’t really care. They just like the fact that Russian oil is REALLY cheap right now. It’s a good deal, and they like scoring good deals for their country.

At the moment there is no international law preventing anyone from buying Russian oil & gas; this restriction is something the US wants to impose in order to force Russia into a peace over Ukraine.

And it may very well be a good idea in terms of bringing an end to the war in Ukraine. We make no judgment on the moral implications.

Unfortunately the world is not so black and white, especially when you have a $40 trillion national debt. When your fiscal situation is in such dire straits, you have to weight the pro’s and con’s.

And the con’s are numerous: given its gargantuan national debt and the need to borrow an ADDITIONAL $2 trillion per year just to finance the budget deficit and stay afloat, the US government has to rely on foreign creditors more than ever.

In short, America desperately needs cash-rich foreigners to continue buying US government bonds.

It’s a bit difficult to shove this rule down their throats and tell foreign countries, “We will force you to stop buying cheap Russian oil,” yet simultaneously ask those same countries to loan you hundreds of billions of dollars.

The strangest part is that this is nothing new.

Back in February 2022, days after Russia invaded Ukraine, the US and its allies froze about $300 billion of the Russian central bank's reserves.

Again, whether it was justified is beyond the point. US government bonds had long been considered the safest asset on earth. But every central banker on the planet learned that day that US Treasury bonds were only safe as long as their country stayed on America's good side.

That’s why foreign governments and central banks have been quietly diversifying away from US government bonds and buying gold... because no other government can freeze the physical gold in their own vaults.

In fact, for the first time in decades, the world's central banks now hold more gold than they hold US Treasury securities.

China in particular has cut its Treasury holdings in half since 2013, and they're now at their lowest level since 2008.

Japan, the biggest foreign lender of all, has seen its Treasury holdings fall every month since April.

At peak (in 2011), foreigners owned nearly half of all marketable US Treasury bonds. Now foreigners’ share of Treasury securities is down to just over 30%.

That’s a fairly slow burn over 15 years; it’s not panic selling. But it’s a clear and obvious trend.

These same foreign nations have also been openly discussing how to rely less on the US financial system.

The BRICS countries, led by China, India, Russia, and Brazil, met in Delhi earlier this month and agreed to settle more of their trade in their own currencies.

This is a big deal; if India starts accepting Chinese yuan, or Russia accepts Indian rupee, these nations by definition won’t need to hold as many US dollars. And a decline in demand for US dollars translates into less demand to hold dollar-denominated assets like US government bonds.

Xi Jinping arrived at the White House yesterday, and he came to negotiate on trade as the leader of one of America's three largest creditors.

China has serious leverage; even though they have been selling their Treasury bonds slowly over time, they still own a ton of them. And if Xi wanted to, he could dump them in a heartbeat and cause a complete collapse of the bond market. Interest rates would skyrocket.

To be clear, such a move would wound China as well. But America would be hurt the most. It’s a nuclear option he could exercise, and it gives him real negotiating power.

America seems to think it’s still the 1990s when everyone was begging to buy US government bonds... which is exactly what gave them the leverage to be able to weaponize the US dollar.

That is simply no longer the world we live in. US finances are incredibly weak. And every time America tries to flex its US dollar power over the financial system, more foreign lenders walk away.

It’s not clear to me if anyone in Washington even understands this reality. No one seems to be questioning, “Will this action increase or decrease foreigners’ demand to buy US dollars and US government bonds?”

And I doubt anyone is really doing any real analysis to weight the benefits of, say, peace in Ukraine, against the potential costs of losing more foreign lenders.

By the way, if you’re thinking, “Big deal, America can finance its own deficits,” it cannot.

The entirety of ALL net private savings in the US, i.e. the total amount that corporations and households manage to save, is only about $2.2 trillion each year. The budget deficit for FY2026 is projected to be about $2.1 trillion.

So basically the US economy would need to dump 95% of its total net savings into US government bonds, leaving just $100 billion to finance EVERYTHING ELSE in the economy, from data centers to mortgages to every other investment.

This is why the US needs foreigners so much. When you burn up that much money, you can’t afford to turn away any lender.

If they keep alienating foreigners, there will essentially be only one lender remaining— and that’s the Federal Reserve, which has the ability to create money out of thin air.

We all saw how that works during the pandemic, when the Fed created roughly $5 trillion to finance all of the debt-fueled government bailouts. The result of that money creation was 9% inflation.

This is why we continue to write that real assets make so much sense.

The Fed can create money by the trillion, and the government can borrow to oblivion. Neither can print an ounce of gold or a barrel of oil. And that’s why real assets tend to hold their value, and often climb, exactly when paper money is falling apart.

Owning a piece of the companies that produce real assets— metals, energy, productive technology— is a great way to protect yourself from higher prices and inflation.

Al-Mustaqilla obtained a document issued by the Central Bank of Iraq, which includes a new executive mechanism to regulate foreign financial transfers for import purposes, and link them to customs declaration procedures and the prior payment of fees and tax deposits.

According to the document, issued by the Banking Supervision Department on September 24, 2026 and addressed to all licensed banks, the procedures come in implementation of paragraph four of Cabinet Resolution No. 413 of 2026, and with reference to the letter from the Ministry of Finance/General Authority of Customs.

The mechanism requires banks to ensure that all financial transfers allocated for imports are subject, before the transfer process is completed, to declaration or "pre-statement" and the pre-payment of customs duties and tax deposits through the ASYCUDA system.

The Central Bank also mandated that banks continue to include the pre-statement number in the data of external financial transfers, and link it electronically to the banking transfer system, in order to allow for matching the transfer with the pre-statement and accurately monitoring the import process.

The document reveals that the pre-clearance procedures will include all external transfers, whether financed from the banks’ own balances or from the balances reinforced by the Central Bank of Iraq, while the Central Bank is responsible for providing the General Authority of Customs with data on those transfers.

The instructions also included standardizing the coding of foreign transfers, which allows differentiation between transfers for importing goods and merchandise and transfers for shipping, insurance and services related to imported goods.

Under the mechanism, banks will follow up on financial transfers related to goods to be imported, as well as deal in accordance with applicable decisions and instructions with importers whose goods have not entered or whose import process has not been completed.

One of the important measures included in the document is obligating banks to obtain SWIFT verification of transfers before the initial approval of the preliminary statement, which enhances the matching process between the financial transfer and the import transaction.

The mechanism also stipulated the adoption of an electronic system for refunding customs duties and tax deposits previously collected in the event of a transfer being rejected or the import not being carried out in whole or in part, in coordination between the General Authority of Customs, the General Authority of Taxes and the Accounting Department in the Ministry of Finance.

However, the document stipulated that in cases of total or partial non-import, the funds that were transferred must be returned first, and confirmation must be provided from the bank that executed the financial transfer.

The Central Bank called on the Ministry of Finance, the General Authority of Customs, the General Authority of Taxes, and all banks to organize an explanatory media campaign before the date of implementation of the new procedures.

These instructions refer to tightening the linking of funds allocated for imports with customs and tax data, with the aim of raising the level of conformity and tracking between external transfer and the actual import of goods.  LINK

Jeff   They're completely telling you, October moving forward, they're sovereign and international...The only way Iraq can be financially sovereign is to have full control over their own money, to have all their OPEC dollars back in their possession.  They have to have full control of their money system...reserves, everything.  I can't stress that enough.

Jeff   As we get closer to September 30th, with the full withdrawal of US forces, do you see Iraq overall transitioning from a war era to a bilateral business era?  I do.  For example, PM Zaidi...signing/massing business economic trade agreements.  Plus they have all these new taxes coming forward.  They have the prepaid transit fees coming forward on October 1st.   Major things happening as we get close to this date of September 30th at which US troops will be completely out of Iraq...

Qi Mastercard Purchases Abroad Stopped Since Sept. 19, Company Source Says

BAGHDAD — Cardholders with Qi Mastercard cards have been unable to make purchases abroad since Sept. 19 because of system upgrades, a source at the company told 964media, confirming at least part of the complaint that Iraqi cards were failing overseas. Qi’s Visa cards continue to work outside Iraq.

“Development work is currently underway at the company, and because these upgrades took place directly on the system, there has been some disruption for all Qi Mastercard users,” said the source, who asked not to be named.

“They were working normally, and users could make purchases abroad before Sept. 19, but purchases have now stopped, while Visa cards issued by Qi continue to work normally outside Iraq.”

Withdrawals, payments and transfers inside Iraq are working on both, including personal, savings, employee, pension, business and gaming cards. No date was given for restoring the service.

Qi is one of Iraq’s main card issuers, widely used to pay public salaries, pensions and welfare benefits. Qi Visa cards carry a monthly limit of 6 million dinars on purchases abroad, about $4,500 at the official rate at which card spending overseas is settled. International ATM withdrawals are capped at 500,000 dinars a month for most cardholders, about $380, split into withdrawals of 200,000, 200,000 and 100,000 dinars, and at 650,000 dinars for employee and pension cards.

The source said Visa cards may also fail abroad if the limit has been reached, international use has not been enabled, the card has not been activated or the balance is insufficient.

The Trade Bank of Iraq denied on Tuesday that its own cards had been suspended, after former lawmaker Majid Shankali said Iraqis abroad, including students, retirees and travellers, had been unable to use cards issued by Iraqi banks for several days.

The disruption began on the day the Central Bank said its reserves were sufficient to settle card transactions, finance trade and supply travellers with dollars at the official rate, amid a widening gap between the official rate of 1,320 dinars to the dollar and a parallel market that reached about 1,602 at the weekend. Using a card abroad is currently the cheapest way for Iraqis to buy dollars.     https://en.964media.com/52965/

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

IRAN RESET WATCH: U.S. REJECTS 7-DAY HORMUZ PLAN AS OIL AND GLOBAL MARKETS REMAIN ON EDGE

The reported U.S. rejection of Iran’s seven-day proposal keeps the Strait of Hormuz at the center of global energy, trade and financial-market uncertainty.

 OVERVIEW

• Iran has proposed a seven-day pathway that would halt regional fighting, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restart broader negotiations, including discussions involving its nuclear program.

• The United States has reportedly rejected the proposal, according to a Wall Street Journal report cited by Reuters, although Tehran was still awaiting an official U.S. response as of September 26.

• Hormuz remains a major pressure point for the global economy, with disruption to the waterway affecting oil transportation, shipping costs, inflation expectations and financial markets.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. Iran Puts a Seven-Day Hormuz Roadmap on the Table

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran had delivered its proposal to the United States through intermediaries.

Under the plan, the process would begin if Washington accepted the proposal. Initial steps would include a ceasefire and changes to the U.S. blockade and sanctions position. The Strait of Hormuz would then reopen within the seven-day timetable, followed by broader negotiations.

The proposal would also revive discussions involving Iran’s nuclear program, making the plan broader than simply reopening the waterway.

2. Washington Is Reported to Have Rejected the Proposal

A Reuters report published September 26 said Iran was awaiting a U.S. response after the Wall Street Journal reported that President Donald Trump had rejected the proposal.

The distinction is important: the reported rejection has been attributed to unnamed U.S. officials, while Iranian officials continued to await Washington’s formal response. This means the seven-day plan should be viewed as a diplomatic proposal rather than an agreement.

3. Hormuz Remains a Financial Pressure Point

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important energy shipping corridors. Continued disruption has forced oil producers and shipping companies to find alternative ways to move crude.

Reuters reported that ship-to-ship transfers near Oman have expanded as producers attempt to keep exports moving despite the conflict. The workaround has helped maintain oil flows, but at a much higher transportation cost, with tanker freight rates rising sharply.

That creates a broader economic chain reaction: geopolitical tension → energy disruption → higher transportation costs → inflation pressure → interest-rate pressure → currency and capital-flow effects.

WHY IT MATTERS

The Strait of Hormuz has become more than a regional security issue. It is now directly connected to energy prices, international trade, shipping costs, inflation and financial-market expectations.

• When the world's energy supply routes become more expensive or uncertain, the effects can spread through the global economy. Higher energy and transportation costs can influence inflation, while inflation can affect central-bank policy and interest rates.

• At the same time, countries and companies are being forced to develop alternative transportation and settlement arrangements to keep international commerce moving.

• The Hormuz situation demonstrates how geopolitical events can accelerate changes in the infrastructure supporting global trade and finance.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

For foreign currency holders, the important issue is not that the Hormuz situation guarantees a currency revaluation. It does not.

The significance is that energy prices, inflation, interest rates and international capital flows all influence the environment in which currencies are valued.

A prolonged disruption could increase pressure on countries that depend heavily on imported energy. Conversely, a durable diplomatic agreement that restores normal shipping could reduce some of that pressure.

The seven-day proposal therefore represents a potential turning point to watch, rather than proof that a financial reset or currency revaluation is about to occur.

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Trade

Continued disruption around Hormuz is forcing energy producers and shipping companies to redesign transportation routes and develop costly alternatives. This highlights how geopolitical events can reshape the infrastructure underlying global trade.

• Pillar 2: Debt

Higher energy and transportation costs can contribute to inflation and increase pressure on governments and central banks. If higher inflation keeps interest rates elevated, the cost of servicing government debt can become an even greater issue.

• Pillar 3: Energy

Energy security is becoming increasingly interconnected with financial stability. The effort to keep oil moving through alternative routes demonstrates how critical energy infrastructure is to the functioning of the global economy.

• Pillar 4: Technology

The expansion of ship-to-ship transfers and alternative logistics networks shows how global commerce is adapting to disruption. Over time, similar pressures can encourage greater investment in digital tracking, automated logistics and new forms of financial settlement.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Iran's seven-day Hormuz proposal is a significant diplomatic development, but it remains a proposal rather than a completed agreement.

The reported U.S. rejection means the immediate uncertainty surrounding the Strait continues, while markets remain sensitive to the effects on oil, shipping, inflation and global trade.

For Global Reset watchers, the larger lesson is that energy security, geopolitical relationships and financial stability are becoming increasingly interconnected.

The bigger story is not simply whether the Strait of Hormuz reopens—it is how every major disruption is pushing nations, markets and businesses to rethink the infrastructure that supports the global financial system.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:   • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.    Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Bypassing the Fed? Gold-Backed Cash, Trump’s Money Plans & Old Glory Pay Explained

Bypassing the Fed? Gold-Backed Cash, Trump’s Money Plans & Old Glory Pay Explained

Jon Dowling and Chris Real World:  9-25-2026

In a compelling conversation with Jon Dowling, Mike Ring, co‑CEO of Old Glory Bank, pulled back the curtain on how the nation’s central bank, the Federal Reserve, shapes the everyday reality for smaller, values‑driven financial institutions.

From the Fed’s entrenched influence to the bold integration of blockchain technology, Ring’s insights paint a vivid picture of an industry at a crossroads—one where constitutional freedoms, customer protection, and innovative digital assets intersect.

Mike Ring characterizes the Federal Reserve not as a neutral arbiter of monetary policy but as a guardian of large‑bank interests.

According to Ring, the Fed’s decision‑making apparatus operates with limited public accountability, often favoring established players that already dominate the financial landscape. This dynamic, he argues, discourages competition and chokes the entrepreneurial spirit of smaller banks that seek to deliver services rooted in constitutional values.

The conversation underscored a recurring theme: when the regulatory nucleus leans toward preserving the status quo, innovative challengers find themselves squeezed out of the market before they can even make a meaningful impact.

One of the most striking anecdotes Ring shared involved a last‑minute “pocket veto” by the Federal Reserve that halted Old Glory Bank’s pioneering public offering, known internally as the “dispack” method. The initiative aimed to blend traditional banking with cryptocurrency‑friendly mechanisms, creating a hybrid model that could democratize access to capital while preserving consumer privacy.

Ring described the abrupt block as emblematic of a broader regulatory inertia that stalls groundbreaking financial models, especially those that incorporate decentralized finance (DeFi) concepts. The episode illustrates how the Fed’s discretionary power can be wielded to protect existing interests, effectively placing a ceiling on the ambition of smaller, forward‑thinking banks.

Amid the regulatory turbulence, the passage of the Genius Act emerged as a beacon for those seeking a more autonomous monetary system.

The legislation authorizes the issuance of stablecoins backed by cash or short‑term Treasury securities, providing a digital medium that is both reliable and resistant to centralized control. Ring highlighted the potential of these stablecoins to deliver privacy, security, and liberty—a trifecta he referred to as “PSL.” By anchoring digital tokens to tangible assets, the Genius Act paves the way for a form of money that operates outside the prying eyes of traditional payment processors and central banks, thereby reinforcing financial sovereignty for everyday users.

Old Glory Bank’s operational philosophy centers on self‑reliance. Rather than leaning heavily on large correspondent banks that may be exposed to systemic shocks or political pressure, Ring explained that Old Glory has cultivated a network of carefully selected partnerships.

This approach mitigates the risk of contagion that plagues smaller institutions when larger banks falter or when the Federal Reserve applies indirect pressure. By maintaining a degree of independence, Old Glory can continue to serve its community with a focus on constitutional freedoms, even as the broader banking ecosystem moves toward consolidation.

Recognizing the limitations of a modest branch footprint, Old Glory Bank introduced the “Glory Cash In” service—a nationwide cash‑deposit solution that leverages retail giants such as Dollar General and Walmart.

This hybrid model allows customers to deposit physical cash at easily accessible locations while still benefiting from the speed and convenience of digital banking. The strategy illustrates how a small, mission‑driven bank can expand its reach without the capital‑intensive rollout of traditional branches, thereby providing a seamless bridge between the analog and digital worlds.

Security often becomes a point of contention between large financial institutions and their smaller counterparts. Ring emphasized Old Glory’s commitment to a customer‑centric security model that goes beyond the reactive measures typical of big banks.

By employing behavioral analytics, such as login anomaly detection, and imposing prudent withdrawal limits, Old Glory can preempt phishing attacks and account takeovers. This proactive stance reflects the bank’s philosophy that security should serve to protect consumers, not merely to satisfy regulatory checkboxes.

Perhaps the most forward‑looking portion of the discussion centered on Old Glory Bank’s upcoming “NextGen Banking” platform. The initiative promises to enable customers to move fiat currency directly from FDIC‑insured accounts onto blockchain networks using any self‑custodial wallet of their choice.

In doing so, the platform bypasses traditional intermediaries such as Coinbase or SoFi, granting users full control over their assets while maintaining the safety net of federal insurance. Ring portrayed this development as a natural evolution—one that merges the robust safeguards of conventional banking with the transparency and autonomy of decentralized finance.

Looking ahead, Ring outlined a roadmap that intertwines digital innovation with a steadfast dedication to constitutional liberties. He sees the convergence of stablecoins, blockchain integration, and strategic independence as the foundation for a financial system that is both resilient and resistant to undue governmental surveillance.

In Ring’s view, the emerging “digital reset”—driven by geopolitical shifts and evolving monetary policy—offers an unprecedented opportunity for small banks to champion a transparent, customer‑first approach that larger institutions have historically overlooked.

Mike Ring’s conversation with Jon Dowling serves as both a cautionary tale and an inspirational blueprint. The narrative reveals how the Federal Reserve’s entrenched power can hinder innovation, yet it also showcases how a determined, values‑driven bank can navigate those obstacles through strategic partnerships, legislative advocacy, and cutting‑edge technology.

By embracing stablecoins, expanding cash‑in networks, and deploying blockchain‑based platforms, Old Glory Bank illustrates a roadmap for other small, patriotic banks yearning to preserve financial freedom while protecting their customers.

The broader implication is clear: when smaller institutions align their mission with emerging digital tools, they can create a resilient alternative to a centralized, surveillance‑heavy financial system. As regulatory landscapes evolve and the industry continues its digital transformation, the dialogue sparked by Ring’s insights will undoubtedly influence the next generation of banking—one that strives for transparency, decentralization, and unwavering respect for constitutional values.

Bond Market Collapse, Debt Trap, Dollar Crisis, Massive Economic Crash Incoming

Bond Market Collapse, Debt Trap, Dollar Crisis, Massive Economic Crash Incoming

Lena Petrova:  9-25-2026

In a recent and deeply insightful discussion hosted by Lena Petrova, renowned economist Peter Schiff provided a comprehensive overview of the looming financial hurdles facing the global economy today.

The conversation shed light on critical issues such as a predicted bond market correction, soaring national debt servicing costs, potential currency shifts, and persistent inflationary pressures that continue to be influenced by global energy dynamics.

Schiff elaborated extensively on the deteriorating state of public finances, pointing to the unprecedented rise in Treasury yields reaching multi-decade highs. With national debt figures continuing to expand and requiring financing at increasingly higher interest rates, experts and observers alike are paying close attention to the sustainability of current fiscal paths and the broader implications for financial markets worldwide.

During the interview, Schiff addressed the difficult position facing monetary authorities as they attempt to balance the necessity of controlling price increases with the desire to maintain market stability.

This delicate balancing act takes place against a backdrop of tightening credit conditions and changing consumer behavior, where financial strain is becoming increasingly visible across various sectors.

Furthermore, the discussion highlighted ongoing vulnerabilities within the global energy sector, noting how fluctuations in fuel and oil costs continue to place upward pressure on operational expenses for businesses and households alike. These combined pressures underscore the complex nature of managing modern economic systems during periods of transition.

The dialogue also ventured into the realm of modern technology, specifically evaluating the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and its associated market dynamics. While acknowledging the transformative long-term potential of advanced computing and automation, Schiff cautioned against the formation of speculative excesses fueled by aggressive corporate investments and elevated valuations reminiscent of previous technological shifts.

The heavy demand for capital from both private technology enterprises and public sector borrowers creates a competitive environment that can push yields higher, feeding into broader financial trends.

As market participants evaluate these diverse risks, many are also observing a gradual diversification into traditional safe-haven assets like gold, reflecting a cautious outlook on fiat currencies and long-term monetary stability.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 9-25-26

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 9-25-26 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome, everybody, to the big call tonight. It is Thursday, September 24. You're listening to the big call. Thanks for tuning in, everybody. We're looking forward to having a really good call tonight. I'm excited. I hope you get excited,

Now let's get into the Intel segment and see where we stand today. Today is Thursday, the 24th of September. We have basically six days left in the month. It takes us through Next Wednesday, we have heard that we are on track for us to receive our notifications, and it looks like this.

We're going to rebuild the timeline based on starting with tomorrow, because starting tomorrow we are supposed to have eight currencies, and I'm going to numerate those eight currencies on the forex that we've been looking for for a while now on the forex either Friday, which is tomorrow, or Saturday,

And I'm going to say it could even extend to Sunday, but we're hearing Friday or Saturday, and these are Iraqi dinar, Vietnamese Dong, Afghan Afghanani, the Rupea, also. let me think for a sec. Who else? We've got the South Korean won, and well, that's already on there. Let's see who else.

The Chinese yuan, and we've got the Israeli shekel and the Russian ruble, and let me think. There's if there were one more. Anyway, it's supposed to be about eight new currencies hitting the forex.

That's important, especially getting Iraqi dinar and of course, the Between Dong. Those are the two biggies of the currencies that we hold.

Now we're not including the the Zimbabwe Zim, you know, notes. We're not including those. Those those were good for guys. We've got those. Those are we already know what that's going to be worth. That's going to be terrific, outrageously great.

So those currencies making their way to the forex, because remember these are exotic currencies that have never been on the front page of the forex in trading pairs or able to be traded. Once they hit that, it's game over or game on for us because we are going to be notified.

 And what I'm hearing from this source is that we should be exchanging any time after Sunday, but by the end of the month, so that's that is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

It's the last day of September. Wednesday's the 30th. Then we go to October 1 on the on Thursday. So we're hearing that we should be looking for these numbers over the weekend.

Now, listen, could they drag to Monday? I guess they could, sure. But we're hearing the weekend-Saturday, Sunday, or Monday-or these numbers exchanges any time after Sunday, which to me is Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday for exchanges.

There's a lot of money that's been moved into place, and I told you guys I think a week ago we had 600 billion dollars every six hours moving to the redemption Centers and banks, and that's been going on for over a week now, and that'll continue for another week of moving money into place through the quantum financial system to be there for us when we do our exchanges.

Now you got to realize when we're redeeming Zim, the denominations, as you guys know, are are very high-billions, trillions of of Zimbabwe dollars.

Those monies from those the redemption of those Zim bonds are going to be more or less held in our quantum financial accounts. Our quantum accounts essentially will be digitized. They'll be digital.

 Now, when we need the money is when we move that quantum account balance. We move some of it, not all, but some of it into our primary or secondary Wells Fargo and other bank accounts.

That's when the money needs to be there for us to utilize. Remember, we're going to get a debit credit card on day one of our exchange from Wells Fargo that you'll use to purchase. Go out to eat if you use it for that.

 You can use it for anything you normally you'd use your debit or credit card for now. And so that's going to be available to you, and they'll print those up for us in the redemption center.

We also-they already have the quantum cards, which, as you guys know, are three times the thickness of a normal credit card. They're made of titanium, and they're designed with three chips, computer chips in them, and that'll contain our biometrics.

 It'll contain our username, password type stuff, our five-digit PIN, all that stuff will be on there, and you know probably something related to a. I don't know about the balance if that'll be on there or not.

But we'll only use those cards to move funds from the quantum account to the primary or possibly secondary bank accounts. You know that's the only reason. That's the only function of them. We don't buy anything with those.

You keep that in a very safe, secure location where you know where it is when you need to move money into your account, that's the only reason to use that card. the The other Wells Fargo debit credit card is what you use to buy stuff with.

You know, whether it's going out to eat, whether it's hotels, whether it's you know plane tickets, whatever it is you're using for your travel, you know you can use that credit debit card, and I'm going to try to set it up where my  premium banker knows to take the funds from my Wells Fargo account and pay off that card every month two days before the due date, so I don't even have to worry with it. Don't even have to mess with it.

It's going to be automatic, automatically debited from my checking account, if you will, my bank account, to pay off pay off that credit card. And I'll have some kind of arrangement set up.

I have that kind of set up now, but I'll have it set up to where that can happen for all normal, normal household bills. You don't even have to do it. You don't have to do it anymore. So we'll see how all that comes together.

So, one other thing I'd like to do is thank the person that put the information out on Telegram to register on BigCallUniverse.com to receive the 800 numbers in an email, and we plan to. Here's what I'm thinking. We've got three ways we think we're going to help get the numbers out. You say, well, why do you need to do that?

 I thought they were coming by email from Wells Fargo. Yes, they are. If they have your email that you're currently using, yes. However, some people out there may fall through the cracks. They may not have the emails for everybody. Some people may have  new or changed emails.

So what I'm saying is, the person that put this on Telegram, very nice, thank you. Is saying go to bigcalluniverse.com to get registered, so that we can send out an email to you with the 800 number.

And if we get one for Canada, we'll let everybody know we have a number for the U.S. and we have a number for Canada or the redemption centers to set your appointments, or the call centers, call center, and then they get transferred to a redemption center based on your zip code. Canada, you and those crazy zip codes with numbers and letters-I don't know how you're going to work that out.

That's up to you guys. Okay. Okay. I don't know what this is all about, but I love the way they say a boat, boat and a boat.

So here's the thing. We're going to do it by email as soon as we get the accurate number and we can put it up. We're going to have it on our website. Just go to bigcalluniverse.com and see it when it's on there. Obviously, it's not on there yet.

And if I get it in time, and we're doing a call, let's say Tuesday night, and we turn it into a cell, if we have it Monday or Tuesday, and we have it, we can do a celebration call. I'll obviously be able to mention the number on a live big call. So there are three ways we're trying to get it out.

We're trying to get the people that they just don't have the email for because their email changed, or they were gifted ZIM or other currencies.

They never bought any through bona fide seller. See that the currency sellers have all given your emails to the U.S. Treasury, which gave it to Wells Fargo to build out their list for these 800 numbers to come out. That's how they have them.

And like I said, I was told, gosh, I think over a year or two years ago, that part of my responsibility on the big call was to provide the 800 numbers to people that might have fallen through the cracks.

 So obviously we don't have another call until Tuesday, but we'll see what happens between now and then, and then we'll look forward to hopefully we get this and can set appointments Monday or Tuesday and go Monday or Tuesday for exchanges before the end of September, I'm hearing yes, it's definitely we're definitely going to be exchanging before the end of the month, which is Wednesday, Wednesday, mid book in German, midweek.

 So we'll see, guys. I'm telling you, we're getting awfully close. I think people are sensing it. We're all excited about this coming to an end, coming to fruition, and us moving forward from here, so we can get get about doing everything that we're called to do and build out our new lives.

Who knows? We might even have a big call ski team. Who knows? Big call ski club. We'll see. Do some Schielaufen, like our German-speaking brethren over in Germany and Austria and Switzerland. Schilaufen skiing. All right, so that's all fun.

 Let's see. Is there anything else? I I can't think of anything else that is prescient to what we're talking about right now. That is is new. You guys know the deal. You know the drill. You know a lot more than you think you know.

I'm excited about getting these numbers, setting appointments, going in, doing the exchange, and subsequently getting into the med bed. That's step two after we've done the exchange. Unfortunately, it doesn't precede the exchange. It's after the exchange, which I'm still looking forward to it very much. I'm looking forward to the exchange more than I mean the MedBed more than the exchange itself.

So, let's do this. I want to thank Sue, doing a wonderful job again on the teaching, first segment, everything, and Bob. Thank you, Bob, as well for all the nutritional value and support that you've given Big Call Universe.

And I'd like to thank GCK and Doug for helping out with technical support, and thank you, Jeannie, for continuous support. Every Tuesday and Thursday, we get an email from Jeannie, which is prayer, praise, and a teaching of some kind. All good. We we appreciate it, Jeannie, very much. And Pastor Scott, we're still thinking about you, praying for you to surface one of these days for us.

And satellite team, sat team, for getting out the call all over the globe. Appreciate that so much, and thank you, Big Call Universe, for tuning in and listening to the Big Call all these many 15-I was going to say 1815, years that I've been doing the Big Call, and it's been a good time, so we are thinking we are going to have a call Tuesday, and hopefully it will be at the regular time, same time, same station, and let's hope that we get our numbers by then or before then, so we could be we could be in our exchange mode at that time. So let's hope so.

Let's begin to pray the call out, and then we'll look forward to having a good weekend, and then we'll look forward to getting these numbers over the weekend. Could be Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I'm going to say not Friday. I'm going to say Saturday, Sunday, or Monday could be considered the weekend. So let's see when it is. We're supposed to get it. Supposed to have it.

We're supposed to set our appointments beginning as early as Monday, but should be by Wednesday. So let's see what happens over the weekend and into into early next week, the last few three days of September.  

So let's pray out the call   And everybody have a great weekend. We look forward to seeing those emails, and I think EAS EBS will probably crank out around the time we get notified with our emails with the 800 numbers. All right, everybody have a great weekend. We'll talk to you Tuesday night. God bless y'all.
