What Basel III Gold Tier 1 Actually means for Anyone Watching the Reset
What Basel III Gold Tier 1 Actually means for Anyone Watching the Reset
By David E. Atterton | Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT
In 2019, gold was reclassified as a Tier 1 reserve asset under Basel III. Between 2022 and 2024, central banks bought 3,220 tonnes. That is more than a thousand tonnes a year, three years running. The 2010 to 2021 average was 473 tonnes. Central banks doubled the pace and sustained it.
In 2025 they bought another 863 tonnes. Below the three-year peak but still nearly twice the long-term average.
If you have been watching for signals that the monetary architecture is changing, this is the chart that matters. The people who set reserve policy are voting with their vaults.
What Basel III Gold Tier 1 Actually means for Anyone Watching the Reset
By David E. Atterton | Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT
In 2019, gold was reclassified as a Tier 1 reserve asset under Basel III. Between 2022 and 2024, central banks bought 3,220 tonnes. That is more than a thousand tonnes a year, three years running. The 2010 to 2021 average was 473 tonnes. Central banks doubled the pace and sustained it.
In 2025 they bought another 863 tonnes. Below the three-year peak but still nearly twice the long-term average.
If you have been watching for signals that the monetary architecture is changing, this is the chart that matters. The people who set reserve policy are voting with their vaults. The World Gold Council tracks every purchase by country, by tonnage, by quarter. The receipts are public.
The Scale
Global central bank gold holdings now exceed 36,200 tonnes. Gold accounts for roughly 20% of total official reserves. At the end of 2023 that figure was 15%. A five percentage point shift across the entire global central banking system in two years is not ordinary balancing. It is a strategic reallocation out of something and into gold.
The World Gold Council 2025 Central Bank Survey found 43% of central banks plan to increase gold holdings over the next twelve months. Zero planned to decrease. That is the first time in the survey history with no sellers.
Why Tier 1 Classification Matters
Before 2019, gold was a Tier 3 asset under Basel rules. Tier 3 meant banks had to discount gold holdings by 50% when calculating reserves. It was treated as a risky, illiquid asset.
Tier 1 means gold is now counted at 100% of market value alongside cash and sovereign bonds. It is treated as a zero-risk reserve. The rule change was finalised by the Bank for International Settlements and phased in through 2021 to 2023 across jurisdictions.
This is the regulatory mechanism that let central banks start moving real tonnage into vaults without penalty. Every large purchase between 2022 and 2025 happened inside the new framework.
What the LBMA Says
The London Bullion Market Association publicly denies that a reclassification occurred. The BIS Basel III framework document contains the rule. Both things are true. You can read the LBMA position statement and the Basel III text side by side and decide what that tells you about who benefits from the existing narrative.
The Signal
Central banks buy gold when they are preparing for a shift in the reserve asset mix. Nobody in reserve policy buys 3,220 tonnes by accident. Nobody sustains twice the long-term average for three consecutive years unless the institutions doing the buying have decided the current arrangement is not working.
Watch what they do, not what they say.

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. it's Tuesday, April, 21st and you're listening to the big call, thanks everybody for tuning in again tonight. Good to have you here again, and we look forward having a really good call.
Thank you, Bob for that. I appreciate that. It's a great sale. And let's get into the Intel. Let's get into what I'm supposed to be talking about -- Now, as you guys know, I try to create somewhat of a timeline for us so that we can capitalize this a little bit. We're going to go back to Friday – remember our last call was Thursday night
Friday, we found out Saturday, that Friday, at 8pm the Clarity Act had been initiated, and that -- remember the Clarity Act has to do with crypto currencies and XRP main one that is actually going to be used to back the value of our new dollar the USN
So that act was finally passed. It was only been the Senate forever. It finally passed, one way or another. It got through, and now that is integrated, where crypto currencies will be fully integrated into the quantum financial system, QFS, and I just think it's a good thing that that is something that will be backing XRP. Gold backed. We'll be backing our dollar, our USN and our USTN - USN dollar. Okay, so keep that in mind that's taken us back to last Friday.
Since then, information has come, talking about Wednesday, Thursday - right now, more Friday, and I'll tell you where it's going.
What we're getting is from one particular source says we are on high alert for Wednesday, Thursday. Today's Tuesday night. We're on high alert Wednesday, Thursday. My own personal feeling is it's more of a high alert for Thursday.
And I'll tell you why -- certain redemption center leaders have been off yesterday - today, on call tomorrow, and in these redemption centers on Thursday, so we know Thursday is going to be pretty active. Tomorrow could be - because remember, when these leaders go in, the staff goes in the redemption center Wednesday or Thursday, it's to set the appointments for us from the call centers connected to the redemption center that's indicated by your zip code that you key that in when you make that 800 number,
Now is tomorrow in play? we're on high alert for it. So it could be - it’s Thursday. I think it should be because redemption center leaders are going in on Thursday - So that takes us all the way to Thursday.
Now what else is happening?
We are hearing that we should receive our tariff dividends --Remember, these are dividends that we're getting. We don't know exactly for how long it could be monthly. Could be for one year, could be for three years. We don't know, but it's around $2,000 maybe a little more.
We've had two and a half billion dollars already go out yesterday, by mail, by snail mail, and some by FedEx. Some of those only two and a half billion dollars worth of and that's good. Now, what about the rest of it? What about, what about direct deposits that we're going to receive. It’s suppose to happen for us over the next three days. That's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, so be looking for that tariff dividend to hit your bank account sometime over the next three days – Wednesday - Thursday or Friday.
Certain people, should reveive it in the mail - some people, and I think they're trying to prove that was truly a citizen and a legit person, will get by FedEx, and they have to prove they are, and sign for it if they meet criteria, and there's some paperwork with that. It has to be signed off on - So that is a small percentage. Some get it that way.
Most of us will get it by a direct deposit to our bank accounts. And believe me, if you have a social security number, they have your bank account. Don’t worry about it. Okay, so be looking for it over the next three days
Now. What else? See how we're moving towards the weekend. We're going that direction. What else did we hear? Listen to this -
We got two confirmations that the emergency alert system and EBS Emergency Broadcast System will be utilized Friday and or Saturday this week initiated, initiating the broadcasts on the 24th and 25th of April. That's this Friday and this Saturday,
Why are they using it and what is the purpose of it?
Remember, we don’t know exactly what was going to be broadcast. We've heard eight hours at a time. We've heard six hours. Some people thought it'd be 24 hours. It's not gonna be that. I think it's gonna be six or eight hours a day for quite a while. And it's gonna be broadcast International, not just here in the States, but it could be world wide
And what's interesting about it is it will provide cover for us who are going to the redemption centers, it'll be a sort of a distraction by watching what's going to be announced. And it could be all over the place. It could be, oh God, it could be anything from child trafficking nightmares to the truth about this and that.
I heard Trump talking about UA means UFOs and UAPs in terms of disclosure. In terms of disclosures, two days ago, I was like, wow - okay,
So what I;m saying is - thing is, it looks like what we're getting could come to us in a way of 800 numbers between now and Saturday. I'll go as far out as Saturday.
It could be Thursday, Friday -- it could be exchanges over the weekend, that's very likely, and we could have all of them initiated this weekend. It's looking very good for that.
Let's see. Where else can I I haven’t gone - I'll tell you. Rates are going up on the screens Let's talk about deadline of 8 PM tomorrow the peace plan with Iran, if they came back to the table today or tomorrow, which is a question mark right now, it may be a non starter, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And you know, as well as I do, they have no moral compass. They have no word there is no truth in what they say - we can’t trust them
So we'll see what actually occurs in terms of a peace plan. The ceasefire will end tomorrow night - is very fragile. Don't be surprised if Bomb start falling all over Iran – take out all the bridges. We take out all of their power facilities, power plants. This is what President Trump is prepared to do.
If they don't come to the table and give us a legitimate peace plan, one that they're willing to adhere to -- It's we're going to bomb them back to the Stone Age. I don't want that to happen -- President Trump doesn't want to have to do that, but the ball is in their court, but we hold all of the cards.
So do we want peace? Yes. Do we want the Middle East to be prosperous? Iran? Yes, we're going to have a super prosperous Iraq already, and I'm excited about the future that we all have with what we have and what we intend to do with it, but it'd be best if we have peace and prosperity throughout the Middle East, including Jerusalem.
Now, one more part, one more point.
We're being told that NESARA - National Economic Security and Recovery Act, national economic security and Recovery Act - NESARA - initiates this month for us in United States. GESARA - the Global Economic Security Recovery Act is going to start in May, for the rest of the world. Why is that? Because not everything is completely settled --
We still have this situation with Iran. We still have a little bit to do with Cuba. That should go pretty quickly. We've got the situation with with Russia and the Ukraine has to come to a to a standstill, to us to a to an ending point.
I mean, President Trump is getting everything where it needs to be. Remember, he's commander in chief. This is a military operation, and he will give the green light to Treasury. Treasury gives the green light to Wells. Wells Fargo gives the green light to the redemption center leaders, and staff – and boom - the 800 numbers, are released to us to call the center appointments through the call centers and getting connected to the redemption center, where we will redeem our zim and exchange our currencies, we'll still have our R & R - DOGE and in addition to our exchanges that are at redemption centers,
Now -- that is a rundown of the timeline that essentially started with everything being complete with the Clarity Act last Friday at 8pm -- then we have the timeline that takes us right now through Saturday, and we know that we should get the EBS EAS started, Friday and Saturday, Friday and or Saturday, I'll call it, and we'll see what happens.
And we should be exchanging in most redemption centers, we'll go at least two weeks, and some may go three weeks. Just depends on the demographic. Busy floor is going to have some that'll be around the clock 24 hours. If you're in a big, bigger metro area like Miami or even Orlando, maybe even Tampa. 24/7 most of them will 9am or go to 11at night, and we will see how demographics go – how many zim holders there are
So that is basically everything I wanted to bring in the way of Intel tonight - We are that close. We're on high alert Wednesday, Thursday, like this Thursday, and then we'll see what happens between Thursday and the weekend.
That's for Friday, Saturday. That's going to live with the icing on the cake, and realize this, when we get our payments as little and older, we'll get that most of us by direct deposit, and we get that allows everybody to have some money, so that when we go in for our changes and all that good stuff, it's not going to be as noticed, and you're going to be under NDA if you're a Zim holder. And if you're not, you're not, if you're if you're just exchanging the other Okay, so it's gonna be great. So we will have a call for Thursday night.
We'll have an update. We'll see if we're on let's see if ends have shown up yet. If we do, that's the first fruits of what we're all been waiting for, and that's initially a part of this
So that's everything I'd like to say. I just want to thank Sue for doing a wonderful job tonight and every night, it's just sort of special tonight, I think especially all the prayer time and you're saying it was wonderful. Thank you for Thank you Bob. Great testimonials like, like the New Sales going on concurrently, and I want to thank big call universe.
And who knows, maybe Thursday could be a celebration. Call, let's see. All right, everybody, have a great night, and we'll see you Thursday.

Clare: Dinar reserves in the red zone: A look at the compass of financial collapse in Iraq
4/21/2026 Erbil (Kurdistan24) –
While the world watches the fluctuations of Bitcoin, which has surpassed $75,000, and the volatility of oil prices around $74, Baghdad's financial apparatus faces a different kind of challenge: the challenge of "sovereign liquidity." Figures compiled by Kurdistan24's economic desk indicate a dramatic shift in the Iraqi Central Bank's ability to manipulate the local currency (the dinar), amid alarming indicators
From Peak to Below Trillion: The Journey of Freefall
Returning to the official financial data we analyzed, we find that the Central Bank of Iraq's reserves of local currency (the dinar) were at their peak in February of last year, stabilizing at 2.278 trillion dinars. However, since then, the trend has been downward, only stopping at the "red zone."
In March of this year, reserves recorded a historic decline, reaching only 0.916 trillion dinars. This figure is not merely a statistic; it is a clear indication of a decrease in reserves exceeding 50% within a single year, which casts serious doubt on the "fiscal sustainability strategy."
Why is Baghdad depleting its reserves?
The problem lies in a simple but terrifying equation: Iraq spends twice as much as it earns.
On-the-ground observations reveal that the gap between government revenues and expenditures has widened to an unprecedented degree. While the oil export artery via the Turkish Ceyhan pipeline has been disrupted due to political and legal complexities, operating expenses and salaries have continued to inflate, forcing the central bank to draw on its reserves to cover the resulting deficit.
Lack of alternatives and entering the tunnel of borrowing
The Iraqi economy remaining hostage to a single barrel of oil is "slow suicide". In the absence of any other real sources of income, and with the cessation of northern exports, the Iraqi state is left with two bitter choices:depleting what remains of the reserves, which threatens the purchasing power of the dinar (which is currently trading in the markets at levels of 153,000 to 100 dollars).
Throwing ourselves into the arms of domestic loans, which means mortgaging the future of upcoming budgets to burdensome domestic bank debts.
What we are witnessing today is a final "wake-up call" for decision-makers in Baghdad. The economy doesn't lie, and the numbers don't lie; the dinar's reserves falling below one trillion represents a direct threat to the state's ability to fulfill its basic obligations to its citizens.
The solution does not lie in withdrawing more money, but in reforming the financial structure and immediately opening the disrupted export channels, before we find ourselves facing a deficit that even borrowing cannot solve.

Clare: Iraq, which leads the world in the number of banks, is the weakest in terms of economic influence.
April 21, 2026
Despite having more than 70 banks, Iraq's banking sector remains among the weakest in the region in terms of economic impact, financing capacity, and level of trust, while countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia have successfully transformed their banks into key drivers of growth and investment. The paradox here lies not in the number of banks, but in the nature of the role they play within the economy.
Reading the banking reality in Iraq reveals that the main problem does not lie in the lack of financial institutions, but rather in the absence of the actual economic function of the bank, as a large part of these banks does not work as a financier of projects or a supporter of productive activity, as much as they are linked to limited activities that revolve around the state, liquidity and foreign currency.
In Iraq, oil revenues constitute approximately 90 percent of the state's resources, making the economy fundamentally rentier rather than production-based. Within this model, the central bank became the primary source of dollars, while private banks, to a large extent, remained more like financial intermediaries profiting from the money and currency cycle than institutions that channeled financing into industry, agriculture, and productive services.
According to this equation, Iraqi banks have, in many cases, become institutions that depend more on the state than they contribute to the economy, which explains their weak role in stimulating investment or expanding the private sector. In healthy economies, banks have a clear function: mobilizing savings and converting them into loans, investments, and projects. In Iraq, however, this process remains weak and fragmented.
In contrast, the experience in the UAE and Saudi Arabia presents a completely different picture. While fewer banks operate within a more diversified and dynamic economic environment encompassing energy, real estate, tourism, aviation, technology, and sovereign wealth funds, the bank's role extends beyond mere financial intermediary to include direct participation in growth. This is achieved through financing major projects, supporting the private sector, and integrating with both domestic and international investment flows.
The difference isn't limited to the nature of the economy; it extends to the level of trust between citizens and the banking system. In Iraq, the cash economy remains dominant, and a large number of citizens still prefer to keep their money outside of banks. This is a result of accumulated factors related to weak legal protections, a lack of transparency, and declining confidence in the banking system's ability to protect savings and provide stable and secure services.
In the UAE and Saudi Arabia, increased financial inclusion, the expansion of bank card use, and widespread reliance on electronic payments have helped to boost confidence in banking institutions and connect individuals and businesses on a daily basis to the formal financial system, giving banks greater social and economic depth.
Governance and oversight stand out as another crucial factor in explaining this disparity. The Iraqi banking sector suffers from a relative weakness in internal audit systems, inconsistencies in compliance, and political and economic interferences that have affected the efficiency of some institutions. In the view of many observers, some banks appear to be more like limited-functional financial fronts than integrated banking institutions capable of managing credit and risk according to modern standards.
In contrast, the banking systems in the UAE and Saudi Arabia are based on stricter oversight and higher levels of compliance with international standards, including capital adequacy requirements, risk management, anti-money laundering, and corporate transparency, which has given those markets a greater ability to attract investment and enhance financial stability.
Digital transformation is also one of the most important differences between the two models. While banking services in Iraq still suffer from a clear slowness in development, a relative weakness in technological infrastructure, and the instability of some payment systems, banks in the Gulf have been able to move to advanced levels of digitalization, through smart applications, instant transfers, and electronic services that have become part of the daily lives of individuals and companies.
From a risk and liquidity perspective, Iraq faces additional challenges related to high levels of non-performing loans, weak risk management in some institutions, and a heavy reliance on government or non-productive liquidity, while Gulf banks typically enjoy higher levels of capitalization, reserves, and liquidity, giving them a greater ability to absorb shocks and deal with economic fluctuations.
In conclusion, the crisis in Iraq's banking sector is not one of quantity, but rather one of function, structure, and trust. Iraq does not suffer from a shortage of banks, but from the absence of a genuine developmental role for them, and from the fact that a large portion of them are linked to a rentier economy and the dollar, instead of being directly linked to a productive economy and long-term investment.
In this sense, banks in the UAE and Saudi Arabia act as an engine for economic growth, while a large part of the Iraqi banking sector is still far from this role, which makes its impact limited despite its large size.
If the current model persists in Iraq, the banking sector will remain large in number but weak in impact. However, if the country embarks on genuine reform encompassing governance, oversight, digital transformation, building trust, and linking banks to the productive economy, Iraq possesses the market size and domestic demand to build one of the strongest financial sectors in the region.

Jon Dowling & Mark Z Discuss Latest Updates Of The Greatest Wealth Transfer
Chris Real World: 4-21-2026
The global financial landscape is shifting beneath our feet. For those paying close attention, the signs of a massive transition—often referred to as the Global Financial Reset—are becoming impossible to ignore.
In a recent, high-stakes episode of the Jon Dowling podcast, returning guest and renowned researcher MarkZ joined the conversation to pull back the curtain on the geopolitical maneuvers, currency revaluations, and monetary shifts currently reshaping our world.
For years, the Iraqi Dinar has been a focal point for those watching the Global Currency Reset (GCR). MarkZ and Jon Dowling explored the intricate political dance currently happening in Baghdad. With the nomination of the Prime Minister caught in the crosshairs of Iranian influence and Western strategy, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
The discussion highlighted the strategy to reclaim Iraq’s sovereignty—both politically and financially—as a necessary domino to fall before the broader global reset can take full effect.
One of the most provocative segments centered on President Trump’s proposed shift toward a new U.S. currency. Moving away from the debt-based fiat system that has dominated since 1971, the discussion analyzed the move toward a dollar backed bygold and silver.
This isn’t just about economic stability; it’s about a dismantling of globalist control over currency. By tethering money to tangible assets, the goal is to end the “controlled demolition” of the current U.S. dollar and replace it with a system that rewards production and savings rather than inflation and debt.
We are witnessing a historic sell-off. China and Japan—traditionally the largest holders of U.S. Treasuries—are offloading their holdings at an unprecedented rate.
MarkZ explains that this isn’t accidental. It is part of a broader realignment of world orders. As the fiat U.S. dollar undergoes a managed decline, these global powers are repositioning themselves for a multi-polar world where the old rules of the Treasury-backed reserve currency no longer apply.
While the “when” is always the most difficult question to answer, the podcast highlighted two critical windows:
April 27th: A significant deadline regarding reset deals and international agreements.
July 4th: A date of high symbolic and strategic importance for potential major currency announcements.
While these dates serve as benchmarks, both the hosts and MarkZ emphasized that the process is already well underway, regardless of the specific day the “switch” is flipped.
Perhaps the most poignant part of the conversation was the shift from technical analysis to spiritual preparation. The transition into a new financial system will likely be volatile.
The overarching message was one of hope. The goal of this reset, according to the panel, is to facilitate a fairer, more transparent system that restores power to individuals and sovereign nations.
We are living through a transition that happens once in a century. While the “controlled demolition” of the old world can be frightening, it is a necessary precursor to building something better. As MarkZ and Jon Dowling reminded us, the key is to stay informed, stay prepared, and stay optimistic.

We’re talking decades-old rot: a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD that survived endless audits, a 16-year-old slice in FFmpeg that fuzzers hit millions of times without spotting the exploit path, memory corruption in “secure” virtual machine monitors, and remote code execution flaws that hand root access to unauthenticated attackers.
The Direct Link to Currency Revaluation and Forex Migration
The global currency reset moving suppressed or distorted currencies toward tradable forex windows, tokenized rails, ISO 20022 migration, and on-chain auditability relies on exactly these vulnerable legacy systems for settlement, payroll processing, exchange mechanisms, and compliance rails. Mythos exposes the fragility at the worst possible moment for holdouts but at the best possible moment for the White Hat compression.
The Double-Dip Opportunity and Sequencing
Holders of other suppressed currencies (IQD, potentially IRR) watch closely.
A clean Venezuela forex window or rate adjustment doesn’t automatically “double dip” mechanically these are sovereign decisions tied to oil revenue, reserves, IMF/World Bank re-engagement (already resuming dealings with Venezuela), and bilateral U.S. licenses (recent GL 56/57 authorizations).
But it does compress timelines elsewhere by showing the reset path works when nodes are cleared: remove militia/government capture (Iraq-style dollar cutoff pressure), reclaim energy leverage (Hormuz/Iran playbook), force cyber hygiene (Mythos wildcard), and migrate to transparent mechanisms that starve old cutouts.
Bottom line, Mythos isn’t delaying the reset — it’s turbocharging the sequencing. Legacy opacity d--s faster when AI forces the world to patch or perish. Countries like Venezuela get the runway to deliver…

Ariel: Majeed is on the Money here
4-21-2026
I Want To Further Expound Upon This
Majeed KSA: this is actually a solid scenario. Let’s walk through it logically, not politically.
The key constraint If Venezuela wants new wages paid on May 1 using a new rate, then:
* Banks
* Payroll systems
* Government payment systems
* Exchange mechanisms all need time to process the new rate before salaries are calculated and paid.
And historically, even in Venezuela, these changes are never same-day—banks need lead time to adjust systems and distribute changes .
So when should they do it? Realistic answer: They should change the rate at least several days to 2 weeks before May 1.
⸻Why? Think of the sequence:
1. Day 0 (rate change announced & activated)
* Central bank updates official rate
* Financial system begins adjusting 2. + few days
* Banks, ATMs, payroll systems sync
* Businesses update pricing and accounting 3. Before payroll cutoff
* Government calculates salaries based on new rate 4. May 1
* Salaries are paid correctly under the new system
The critical cutoff Most payroll systems don’t calculate salaries on the same day—they’re usually processed a few days in advance. So if salaries are paid May 1, calculation likely happens around:April 25–28 (rough estimate)
Conclusion (clean answer) To safely increase wages by May 1: The exchange rate should be changed no later than mid–late April (around April 15–20) Absolute latest (risky): ~April 25 Ideal (stable rollout): 2 weeks before → around April 15
Majeed Is On The Money Here
Especially given the recent urgent meetings regarding Claude Mythos virus that banks are preparing for. This will further expedite the revaluation process.
Any legacy payroll or banking software running on outdated OS/browser stacks (common in emerging markets under prior isolation) now faces accelerated risk of cascading exploits during the sensitive transition window.
Bad actors could weaponize zero-days to disrupt salary disbursements, manipulate exchange data, or siphon liquidity right as the “more bang for the buck” rollout hits. That forces faster hardening prioritizing defensive patching via Glasswing partners (Palo Alto, CrowdStrike, etc.) and migration to auditable, on-chain or modernized rails.
Now you understand why POTUS kept mentioning they need to flip the switch. This is exactly what this means for the new financial platform or system necessary to combat this exploit.
Also if Venezuela aims to roll out new wages or payments around May 1 (Labor Day timing for political punch) using an improved or revalued rate, the systems need lead time.
Banks, government payroll platforms, central bank exchange windows, and private-sector payment processors must update rate tables, test settlement flows, recalibrate compliance checks, and distribute changes without triggering runs, black-market chaos, or exploit windows.
Watching this play out in this manner is unbelievable.
The global currency reset moving suppressed or distorted currencies toward tradable forex windows, tokenized rails, ISO 20022 migration, and on-chain auditability relies on exactly these vulnerable legacy systems for settlement, payroll processing, exchange mechanisms, and compliance rails. Mythos exposes the fragility at the worst possible moment for holdouts but at the best possible moment for the US Military/White Hat compression plan.
One thing about this Claude Mythos thing and where Iraq is in their monetary reforms is extremely critical given that their current goal is to bring confidence to their currency. Well guess what Iraqi banking systems often run on patched-but-vulnerable OS stacks or outdated middleware.
Mythos is said to chain remote code execution to manipulate auction data in real time inflating/deflating bids, injecting ghost transactions, or draining liquidity during high-volume windows.
Which means a successful hit during a sensitive reform phase that they are now in triggers immediate black-market premium spikes and erodes trust in the dinar. This is why POTUS is pushing them to get this done because they are totally oblivious to the seriousness of what This can do. Because they are still moving aa if we didn’t invest billions into their new banking system that was created to help them face these types of challenges.
But they want to play politics and come out and deny what Washington did by pulling all USD shipments. Internally when it comes to State salaries, pensions, and military payouts rely on centralized platforms tied to legacy databases. Mythos finds auth bypass or destructive DoS flaws, then escalates to alter rate tables or freeze disbursements. In a redenomination scenario (removing zeros internally), this could corrupt conversion logic, create double-spend chaos, or leak sensitive holder data.
The dollar shipment suspension already starves liquidity add Mythos exploitation and you get cascading bank runs or militia-linked skims going haywire. This is why I keep telling you all we are on a unpredictable timeline.

The geopolitical landscape in the Middle East is shifting, and for investors in the Iraqi dinar, these changes are more significant than ever.

The US Just Turned up the Pressure on the Dinar
Dinar For Dummies: 4-21-2026
The geopolitical landscape in the Middle East is shifting, and for investors in the Iraqi dinar, these changes are more significant than ever.
A recent deep dive by Stephen, an entrepreneur and long-time investor in the dinar, sheds light on a high-stakes standoff between the United States and Iraq that could fundamentally alter the nation’s currency stability and sovereign future.
At the core of the discussion is a startling development: reports that the United States has halted shipments of U.S. dollars to Iraq. According to Stephen, this move is a direct response to the presence of Iranian-backed militia members within the Iraqi government and parliament.
For years, the U.S. has maintained a firm stance on Iraq’s sovereignty, but this latest maneuver signals a major escalation. By leveraging its financial influence—specifically the flow of physical U.S. dollars that Iraq relies on to pay government salaries, manage its budget, and stabilize its currency—the U.S. is effectively pressuring Baghdad to purge Iranian influence from its ranks.
The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated. Iraq’s economy is heavily dependent on this supply of U.S. currency. Stephen warns that a prolonged suspension of dollar shipments could have catastrophic repercussions.
While the Central Bank of Iraq has publicly denied rumors of a halt in dollar shipments, Stephen urges investors to look beyond official statements. In the murky waters of international finance and geopolitics, government denials are common, even when reports on the ground suggest an entirely different reality.
Stephen views these tensions as part of a broader, more aggressive U.S. strategy to restore Iraqi sovereignty. By using both economic pressure and military deterrence, the U.S. appears to be signaling that the status quo—where Iranian-backed elements hold sway over Iraqi policy—is no longer acceptable.
This is compounded by rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran. With a ceasefire agreement expiring and hostile rhetoric escalating, the potential for renewed military action is a factor that every investor needs to monitor closely.
Despite the potential for short-term chaos, Stephen offers a more optimistic long-term outlook.
He suggests that this intense external pressure may be the “tough love” required to force Iraq into genuine monetary reform.
By eliminating Iranian interference, the path could finally be cleared for a more stable, independent, and modernized Iraqi financial system—a prerequisite for any potential revaluation of the Iraqi dinar.
Geopolitics and currency investing go hand-in-hand when it comes to the Iraqi dinar. As the situation evolves, it is crucial to stay informed through independent verification and expert analysis.

Member: Any bond news Mark?
MZ: I spoke to a couple of bond holders and they say they get their full funding this week. They told them not to expect it until the middle of the week…..most likely Wednesday. Cross your fingers and hope.
Member: Still waiting for news that the Clarity act has passed
Member: Mark are we getting off stuck in terms of the PM being sat?
MZ: On Tuesday articles say there were behind the scenes meetings to confirm the Prime Ministers file. Confirming the withdrawal of Maliki and Abadi. The vote took place with 9 leaders out of 12. Sudani abstained form the vote. Tomorrow they will announce the official candidate for Prime Minister.
Member: If bonds are paid tomorrow and Sudani is official pm… hcl will follow closely behind. …our time might be very near.
MZ: Been some big happenings in Iraq: “Iraq has not received any dollar transfers for the last 72 hours” The US is tired of them playing games.
MZ: Cliff notes from articles. In Iraq now- you can only pay for real estate whether you are renting or buying with Iraqi Dinar. They can no longer use the US dollar. It has to be in dinar. This is huge. We were told they would do this. It took them a long time.
MZ: There was a real good piece out “ Iraq has been ready for 20 years” by Reset Intelligence over at Dinar Recaps. Its from a book titled “Head of the Snake- the hidden architecture of Iran: Wealth Extraction and Global Control” by David E. Attherton.
MZ: It talks about how Iraq has been ready for a long time. But they have not been allowed to because the Deep State has using them to funnel and launder funds through Iran. The author makes a very compelling case how Iraq may revalue in this process going on right now. Very interesting article.

Member: When did Kuwait RV?
Member: Kuwait went Sunday March 24, 1991…some people say Kuwait did not revalue their currency?
MZ: In Kuwait they devalued the old currency….printed new currency and then revalued it. Just like Iraq is expected to do. The devalued the old Sadaam Hussein notes and printed the notes we all hold.
Member: Other gurus said 4-20 was going to be big.
MZ: My bond contacts think the week of the 20th will be big……we will wait and see….

Militia Man Heavy crude topped up about $117 a barrel. That's a big big amount of money over the $70 budget, padding those reserves...They talk about their reserves. They talk about their gold. They talk about all these things. Saleh has been hammering it home. He's been giving reassurances for quite some time. Nothing has changed from that aspect...
Frank26The next step is to give the citizens of Iraq purchasing power. How are you going to give the citizens of Iraq purchasing power? By introducing a new exchange rate followed by redenomination with lower notes because the lower notes would replace the three zero notes...They're not printing a new currency but they are educating the Iraqi citizens about a new currency that they've never dealt with before so it's not a shock to the system. Tomorrow they'll tell them even more.
Jeff June 20, 2021 they set two conditions for deleting the currency. Article "Al-Kazemi's financial advisor: Deleting three zeros from the currency is an option" Quote "The first condition is price stability and global economic growth, and the second is appropriate stability in political life." They clearly tell you from the central bank, political stability is the number one thing you're looking for as a dinar investor to know when they're going to be ready to revalue the currency...That's why Iraq has been telling you they're going implement the banking reforms after the government is formed because they're going to revalue after the government is formed.
BREAKING: Venezuela Sanctions Lifted Iraq Hit With New Sanctions
Edu Matrix: 4-21-2026
BREAKING: Venezuela Sanctions Lifted Iraq Hit With New Sanctions - . What does this mean for the future of both currencies?
In this video, we break down the latest developments as Venezuela sanctions are lifted and how that is helping stabilize the Venezuelan currency over the past two weeks.
With the U.S. Treasury allowing transactions with certain Venezuelan banks, the country now has greater access to U.S. dollars, boosting confidence and supporting short-term economic stability.
We also discuss how Venezuela’s banking system is reopening to international activity, allowing more direct access to oil revenue and global financial systems.
Plus, renewed contact with the IMF (International Monetary Fund) is increasing investor confidence and pushing Venezuelan bonds higher.
At the same time, Iraq sanctions hit hard, targeting individuals connected to the Coordination Framework. We explain what these U.S. Treasury sanctions mean for Iraq’s financial system and how this could impact the Iraqi dinar moving forward.
When comparing the Venezuelan bolívar to the Iraqi dinar (IQD), there are key differences.
Venezuela has struggled with hyperinflation and currency devaluation, while Iraq has maintained relative stability, backed by strong foreign reserves and massive oil wealth.
Key takeaway: When U.S. banks allow transactions and global access improves, currencies can stabilize. The question is—can Iraq follow a similar path?

Iraq has been Ready for 20 Years

Twenty Years. That’s How Long Iraq Has Been Ready For The Reset.
By David E. Atterton | Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT
The infrastructure has been live since 2018. The constitutional framework was signed in 2005. Every technical component for a dinar that reflects Iraq’s actual economy has existed for close to two decades.
The rate didn’t move for one reason. And it is documented in $17.7 billion of signed court records.
If you have been in dinarland for any length of time, you have heard the same question asked ten thousand times. Why is it taking so long?
The answer is not incompetence. Not instability. Not “Iraq isn’t ready.”
Iraq’s banking system was running the largest sanctions evasion and money laundering network in the Middle East on behalf of Iran. You do not move the exchange rate of a currency that is the pipeline for billions of dollars in sanctioned flow. You shut the pipeline down first, then you move the rate.
That shutdown is now on the record. Public. Documented. Finished.
The $17.7 Billion Paper Trail
Between 2009 and 2023, seventeen Western banks paid $17.7 billion in US government fines for processing Iranian money through the dollar system. Not a---------s. Fines paid. Consent orders signed. Statements of Facts admitting specific wire transfers, specific dates, specific Iranian counterparties.
• BNP Paribas – $8.9 billion (2014) – $8.8 billion in sanctioned Iranian, Sudanese, and Cuban transactions over seven years
• HSBC – $1.9 billion (2012) – Iranian and Mexican cartel laundering
• Standard Chartered – $1.1 billion across two settlements – Iranian transactions cleared through New York
• Commerzbank – $1.45 billion (2015) – Iran and Sudan violations
• Société Générale – $1.34 billion (2018) – Iran and Libya sanctions breaches
Every one of those settlements traces back to Iranian counterparties. And a significant portion of those counterparties cleared through Iraqi correspondent accounts at institutions like Trade Bank of Iraq, Al-Bilad, Al-Taif, and Warka Bank.
Iraq’s banking sector was not a bystander. It was the Middle East node of the Iranian dollar workaround. That is why the rate was locked.
Why The IMF Wouldn’t Let It Move
The International Monetary Fund conducts what is called an Article IV consultation with every member country. It is a compliance review. For Iraq, Article IV reviews between 2015 and 2022 consistently flagged the same thing: money laundering and t-------m financing risk tied to the informal banking sector and private bank correspondent relationships.
Stated position of the IMF, repeated in every consultation: Iraq must complete banking sector reform before monetary policy normalization.
Monetary policy normalization. That is the technical term for the thing dinarland has been calling “the RV” for twenty years.
What Got Done
The reform is on paper and in the record:
• Approximately 400 currency exchange houses running hawala for Iranian entities were shut down between 2023 and 2025
• Iraq’s private banking sector was consolidated from 40-plus institutions down to a supervised core
• Electronic payment infrastructure was rolled out to make shadow transactions traceable
• US Treasury and the Central Bank of Iraq signed joint statements in 2023, 2024, and 2025 transitioning from “compliance remediation” to “monetary policy coordination”
• The 2024 IMF Article IV consultation removed the money-laundering-risk language that had been in every prior review since 2015
Each of those is a public document. Each has a date. Each is searchable.
The Signal
Iraq sits on approximately $16 trillion in proven natural resources. Fifth-largest oil reserves on Earth. Second-largest phosphate deposits globally. Gold reserves past $21 billion. Its current exchange rate of 1,310 dinars to the dollar was set by an occupying authority in 2003 and was never designed to be permanent.
What changed in 2024 is not Iraq’s wealth. Iraq’s wealth has been there the entire time. What changed is the sanctioned-money plumbing that required the rate to stay artificial. That plumbing is gone.
When Central Bank of Iraq Governor Ali Al-Alaq and US Treasury officials sit down in the same room in 2025 and talk about “monetary policy coordination,” that is not a throwaway phrase. It is the language that historically precedes an official realignment.

Fiat US Dollar Collapsing, Global Currency Reset Activated
And Power Shifting Back To The People
Summary:
According to the latest report from Judy Byington, dated April 20, 2026, the transition from a fiat-based system to a gold-backed Global Currency Reset (GCR) has reached a critical flashpoint.
The update suggests that the traditional banking corridor, long dominated by the “global elite,” is currently being dismantled as institutions fail to meet Basel III compliance standards—meaning they lack the physical gold or assets necessary to back their holdings.
This has allegedly led to the freezing of over 143,000 individual bank accounts in a single day, prompting urgent warnings for citizens to secure cash reserves before the traditional system becomes inaccessible.
Central to this transition is the implementation of the Quantum Financial System (QFS), which reportedly took control of the global SWIFT system earlier this month.
The report indicates that the QFS is a gold-backed global financial framework that operates outside the reach of corrupt entities.
As the “Old World” structure collapses, 209 nations have supposedly synchronized their currencies with gold, effectively ending the era of fiat slavery.
For the average citizen, this shift is expected to manifest through “Redemption Centers,” where individuals will set up digital wallets on the Starlink Satellite System. These wallets are intended to mirror existing bank balances, though the report emphasizes that personal accounts in the United States must be managed through these specific centers rather than traditional banks.
One of the most significant aspects of this update is the imminent announcement of NESARA and GESARA. These protocols are described as a “Debt Jubilee,” a massive financial reset where illigal mortgages, credit card debts, and student loans are excused.
This redistribution of wealth is reportedly funded by seized “Cabal” assets and global trust funds that have been redirected into the QFS. The report suggests that humanity is moving toward a system of “sovereign fund dashboards,” where every citizen will have access to their own funds and notification of their debt-wipe status via secure texts and emails.
The timeline provided for the remainder of April 2026 is tight and high-stakes. The update warns of a “Ten Days of Darkness” beginning around April 21, during which banks will close, and ATMs and credit cards will cease to function.
This period is intended for the “GESARA wealth drop” and a 48-hour blackout to facilitate the final transition. By April 23, Zim redemptions are expected to flood humanitarian projects, and the QFS is slated to (allegedly)go live for the general public.
This transition is framed as a move toward a sovereign treasury system that eliminates income tax in favor of a simplified 14% sales tax and various tariffs.
For those involved in humanitarian efforts, often referred to in the report as Tier4B, the instructions are specific. Potential “project managers” are encouraged to have their project budgets and impact statements prepared in both fiat and grams of gold.
The report notes that “Green Bar” notifications are already being sent to those who have passed final reconciliation, signaling that appointment slots for currency exchange are being populated.
The overarching message of Byington’s report is one of preparation and vigilance—urging people to move away from traditional banking institutions and toward a new era of digital, asset-backed financial sovereignty.

StephenThis is a very real investment that I think is going to pay off in a very large way for all of us who are invested. That's why I have stuck in it for so long...I do believe we are closer than ever before for it happening. But stay grounded. Have realistic expectations.
Frank26 Once [Iraqi's] government is formed, then we are going to push for the new exchange rate because we want fairness with the American dollar. If not Trump will leave Iraq. That's the last thing Iraq wants...
Mnt Goat Article: “Minerals and “white gold” put Najaf on the investment map in Iraq” This...article...solidifies to us once again the importance of Iraq and its wealth...get out of their ‘rentier’ economy of sole 95% of oil revenues. Is this part of what we all have been waiting for? Yes... A dinar rate of 132? I don’t think so...silica mining (white gold) and other projects like it in part is what is going to get the reinstatement at a higher rate once it goes back on FOREX. We don’t go the bank until its back on FOREX. Of course, we all know that the reinstatement is being intentionally held back. Iraq could easily sustain a rate of about $3.22 right now as it was prior to the 1991 war...
