Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

FEDERAL RESERVE RELAXES STANCE ON BANK CRYPTO ACTIVITIES

The Federal Reserve has withdrawn four crypto-asset related advisories, including ones that required banks to inform the Fed of planned activities in advance or receive a non objection letter. The two other main federal banking regulators, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) had already cancelled the requirements to get permission.

It follows a letter from Republican members of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee earlier this month requesting the withdrawal of the letters. They characterized the supervisory non objection process as a method to “stonewall financial institutions” and prevent them from engaging with distributed ledger technology (DLT).

The FDIC’s responses to freedom of information requests, combined with the lack of services launched by banks, largely support this assertion.

Oversight will now happen through the normal Fed supervisory process. The Federal Reserve statement says, “the Board will work with the agencies (FDIC, OCC) to consider whether additional guidance to support innovation, including crypto-asset activities, is appropriate.”

“Today’s announcement from the Fed and FDIC is a welcome and important step toward achieving that goal and ensuring consumers can access these products and services through their trusted bank relationships,” said American Bankers Association President and CEO Rob Nichols. “We look forward to working with the Fed and FDIC in this fast-evolving marketplace.”

The withdrawn letters

The first withdrawn letter was issued in 2022 and required Board supervised banking organizations to notify the Federal Reserve prior to engaging in digital asset activities. The 2023 letter, SR 23-8 established a supervisory non objection process for state member banks involved with tokens using distributed ledger technology.

The withdrawal also included two joint 2023 letters issued by the Fed, FDIC and OCC that were more cautionary in nature. In fairness, their timing made sense. The crypto crash that followed the 2022 collapse of the Terra algorithmic stablecoin, resulted in the mass withdrawal of funds at Silvergate Bank, which alarmed the regulators.

Shortly after these letters, Silicon Valley Bank collapsed, which was unrelated to crypto. However, there were assertions that the collapse of Signature Bank around the same time was partly related to crypto, an issue that bank executives disputed.

In addition to the banking regulators, the CFTC and SEC have also adopted different approaches to crypto under the new Trump administration. While the SEC took an extreme stance under the Biden administration, it remains to be seen whether the pendulum swings too far the other way.

For example, the SEC washed its hands of supervising most meme coins. But some critics, including popular podcaster Joe Rogan, have expressed shock that meme coin pump and dump scams remain largely unregulated

CARDANO FOUNDER CONFIRMS XRP INTEGRATION, FRUSTRATED BY CHAINLINK DELAYS

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson used the closing minutes of a wide-ranging “ask-me-anything” session on Wednesday to give the community a granular look at two long-running alliance talks that have often generated more speculation than substance:

▪️a multisided collaboration with Ripple’s XRP ecosystem
▪️an oracle integration with Chainlink.

Hoskinson, responding to a viewer who asked, “Charles, are partnerships of Ripple and Chainlink still being discussed?”, made it clear that progress has been uneven. “Ripple, yes. Chainlink we’re working hard on that,” he said.

XRP Integration Makes Progress

On Ripple, Hoskinson sounded decidedly upbeat, describing a concrete roadmap that reaches from native wallet support to token distribution and a new role for Ripple’s forthcoming RLUSD stablecoin. He confirmed that “we’re going to add XRP support for Lace, so if you’re an XRP user you can hold your XRP in the Lace wallet,” referring to IOG’s flagship light wallet launched last year.

He went further, noting that “XRP is going to be part of the Midnight airdrop,” the privacy-focused sidechain announced by Input Output Global. Even the stablecoin is on the table: “we’re in talks with RLUSD so I mean, uh, that’s as good as it gets,” he said, hinting that Cardano infrastructure might natively support Ripple’s fiat-pegged asset.

Hoskinson attributed the new momentum partly to personal rapport inside Ripple’s technical brain-trust. “David Schwarz just invited me to speak at one of their conferences and we’re on very good terms,” he disclosed.

The founder also revealed that “the Flare [Network] people want to come to Cardano and do oracles with us,” underscoring that the partnership has broadened beyond Ripple and broadens to the entire XRP Ledger ecosystem.

sed that relations remain cordial—“I have [Sergey] Nazarov’s private number… we meet and we’re like ‘Yeah, we need to work together’”—the substance of the collaboration still hangs in limbo.

Chainlink, he explained, “has us on the list for integration” and is migrating to “some new framework that’s kind of like Rosetta with Coinbase to do these integrations.” The result is a moving target: “for some reason it’s just always like three to six months off.”

Hoskinson dismissed any notion that the delay stems from politics or money. “There’s no component of it where there’s an interpersonal issue… there’s no component where there’s an economic issue,” he insisted. Instead, he pointed to Chainlink’s bifurcated codebase—“they have like a legacy way of doing it [and] they’re moving towards a new way”—which makes it “hard to predict… what the integration’s going to take.”

Even staffing up the effort has not forced the process across the finish line. “No matter how many people I throw at it… it just, for some reason, doesn’t get over the line,” he admitted, conceding that Cardano is “kind of in this no man’s land” while it waits for Chainlink’s next-generation tooling to stabilize.

Despite the frustration, Hoskinson reiterated his desire for Chainlink to become a premier oracle on Cardano, though he added that “there’s also Pyth [Network] and then there’s Flare and others” in play. He softened the critique with an anecdote about the two founders’ similarities, quipping that “Sergey and I… have the same fashion style, we have the same beard, we’re the same body mass… there’s no bad blood.”

At press time, ADA traded at $0.72.

Restored Republic:

Fri. 25 April 2025 The long-awaited announcement regarding the official launch of NESARA is on the horizon. … on Telegram

A Global Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) will (allegedly) soon activate, broadcasting a coordinated message worldwide. The transmission will initiate a 10–12 day global lockdown, during which all media outlets will air documentaries revealing the full truth behind the events of recent years—military operations, covert arrests, seized assets, and systemic corruption.

During this period, every citizen will be (allegedly) asked to stay indoors during a designated 5-hour window, as directed by the EBS. This isn’t fear—it’s clarity. The world is about to learn what really happened.

At the conclusion of this global disclosure phase, a secured 800-number will (allegedly)  be provided, allowing people to schedule appointments to set up their Quantum Financial Accounts (QFS). These accounts will (allegedly) receive direct deposits as part of global wealth redistribution—returning stolen funds to the people, including trust assets and savings long withheld by the Cabal.

In recent weeks, nearly 75 banks have been seized, and Cabal-owned accounts closed, with their assets moved to the QFS. These moves have been intentionally quiet—until now.

Every Central Bank has transitioned to ISO 20022, the QFS’s international standard, ensuring traceability and eliminating fraud. Traditional bank accounts are now backed by this new transparent system. Investments and stocks will soon migrate as well, once final approval is given.

Yes, the Stock Market crash is real—but it’s not your destruction. It’s the end of their system and the beginning of yours.

Your savings, pensions, and funds are safe and secured in the new system. The originally planned date of March 1st may shift slightly due to Julian calendar adjustments, but nothing can stop what’s coming.

The world is about to witness the greatest transfer of wealth and power in human history.

Be ready. The countdown is real.

Tishwash:  Automation, economic reforms, and waste management top the agenda at Iraq's meeting with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

A high-level Iraqi delegation held talks with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in Washington, D.C.,  on automation, economic reforms, and waste management.

The statement added that "the Minister of Finance began her participation in the first meeting with the Executive Director of the World Bank, Abdulaziz Al-Mulla, where the economic situation in Iraq and the role of the World Bank in supporting Iraq in its reform programs were discussed, particularly in the areas of maximizing revenues, reducing expenditures, digitization, electronic systems, and infrastructure, energy, and environmental projects ."

He added, "The Minister also met with the Regional Vice President of the International Finance Corporation  (IFC),  Hela Sheikh Rouhou, and discussed with her the most important obstacles to investment in Iraq, ways to address them, and the most important projects that the corporation is supervising in Iraq in the transportation, energy, and international trade finance sectors . "  She explained that "the corporation can support projects of the Iraq Development Fund ."

The minister also discussed with Al-Dawani the issue of human development in Iraq, which is a government priority to be included in the World Bank's plans to allocate support and launch future projects in the education, health, employment, and social protection sectors ."

According to the statement, the Minister and the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq attended "the ministerial meeting chaired by the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Gurevichi, and attended by the Ministers of Finance and Governors of the IMF countries.

The meeting also focused on exchanging visions and experiences regarding economic reforms, enhancing the performance of government institutions, supporting and strengthening the private sector, and opening them up to be at the forefront of sustaining the economic resilience of the countries of the region ."

Tishwash:  The Prime Minister's Financial Advisor talks about gold demand and prices.

The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, explained the reasons for the increased demand for gold in Iraq, as well as its impact on global prices.

Saleh stated that "local gold is one of the wealth havens most affected by external or international factors and shocks, as it is a commodity imported from gold vaults abroad. The global price of gold exceeded the $3,200 per ounce barrier in April 2025, affected by geopolitical tensions, especially between the United States and China, or the so-called trade war issue represented by the escalation of the mutual tariff war between various countries of the world and its direct and indirect effects on inflation trends and expectations in the global economy."

 He pointed out that "this coincided with indicators of the oil asset cycle, the downward trend in global oil prices, as well as the increasing demand for the yellow metal by central banks and investors seeking a safe haven for wealth around the world, as gold is undoubtedly the best store of value." He explained that "the price of gold, which has witnessed a significant and continuous rise, despite its fluctuations towards the decline, has maintained its high price. For example, the price of one ounce on April 17, 2025, reached approximately $3,321.89, after previously reaching a new record high of $3,357.40 per ounce."

Saleh said, "The opening of the local gold market to the global market and the impact of global gold prices on our country's supply has become an immediate reflexive issue. Until the local gold market stabilizes again, it may take a long time to adapt again." He pointed out that "the short-term jumps in gold prices cast a shadow over the tendencies of individuals in our country and the behavior of some to hedge their investments in the yellow metal."

He pointed out that "the demand for gold in Iraq is a traditional means of preserving value, which leads to its purchase as a normal hedge, especially for those with cash surpluses, with the aim of profiting from the external price factors affecting the fluctuations in the international economy, and the impact of this on the level of global prices, and the repercussions of this on thinking about re-diversifying the wealth portfolios of some of them, or according to their beliefs and traditions in investing, preserving the value of their personal financial wealth, or speculating."

He explained that "if the goal of importing is a safe investment, it is preferable to monitor global and local markets to make informed decisions, and to properly diversify their investment portfolios and not rely entirely on a single investment vehicle to preserve value, as gold is also subject to decline.

 It is also preferable to consider other national investment options to diversify their investment portfolios, especially investing in interest-bearing sovereign government bonds currently offered to investors through the Iraqi banking system." link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE PRESIDENT MONICA LONG STUNS XRP ARMY WITH PRODUCT ADVANCEMENT UPDATES

President Monica Long confirmed Ripple Labs’ $1.25 billion Hidden Road purchase, emphasizing XRP and RLUSD enterprise integration.

Ripple’s acquisition of prime brokerage firm Hidden Road for $1.25 billion is back in the spotlight.

XRP eyes bullish breakout with price holding above key levels.

Derivatives marketplace CME Group is to launch XRP futures on May 19, boosting institutional interest.

Monica Long, the President of American blockchain payments firm Ripple Labs Inc, has spurred fresh excitement within the XRP community. She recently stunned the community with updates on the company’s ongoing expansion and its latest acquisition. These developments come as the Ripple Labs-linked cryptocurrency XRP shows steady price gains amidst increasing institutional adoption.

Ripple Strengthens Infrastructure with Hidden Road Deal

In a recent CNBC interview, Monica Long confirmed Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road, a global prime brokerage firm that processes over $3 trillion in transactions annually.

In the interview, Long disclosed that the deal, which cost Ripple $1.25 billion, is considered a strategic move. This acquisition is aimed at strengthening the company’s financial infrastructure services, which include global payments, token custody, and asset tokenization, all of which are tailored for enterprise use.

According to the update, Long shared that Ripple Labs has expanded its payments network. She highlighted the company’s strong liquidity management, regulatory compliance with over 60 licenses, and complete control over payment flows.

Long also mentioned that purchasing Hidden Road supports Ripple’s core mission and enhances the integration of XRP, RLUSD (Ripple’s stablecoin), and other digital assets into enterprise-level solutions.

It is essential to add that this development follows Ripple Labs’ decision to delay going public. Long explained that the company remains financially strong, holding billions in cash reserves, and does not need an IPO for capital or visibility.

Commenting on the development, CEO Brad Garlinghouse echoed these remarks, confirming that Ripple will focus on building through acquisitions rather than listing on the stock market.

XRP Holds Key Levels

CoinMarketCap data shows that the fourth-largest cryptocurrency XRP is currently trading at $2.19, up 1.80% in the last 24 hours.

It is worth noting that the price has shown signs of consolidation. Market data shows that it is holding support above $2.11 and pushing through key levels following a mid-week high of $2.30.

Analysts are watching a possible 25% breakout toward $2.74, backed by a bullish inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. According to experts, a move above $2.22, which stands as the short-term resistance, is expected to open the path toward $2.50 and beyond.

It is worth mentioning that Derivatives exchange CME Group’s announcement of XRP futures set to launch on May 19 has only added to the market optimism. As detailed in its announcement, the futures will offer micro and larger contracts targeting institutional and retail investors.

Coinspeaker noted earlier that Coinbase submitted a filing with the CFTC to introduce XRP futures trading. This shows the rising appeal of XRP among Institutional and professional traders.

Reports also show that XRP technical indicators are pointing toward mixed signals. For context, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering around 55 but trending down toward the midline, indicating a potential shift in sentiment. Meanwhile, long liquidations are outpacing short ones, hinting at growing sell-side pressure. Despite this, XRP remains above the 100-day EMA, keeping the current bullish setup intact.

With continued attention on support at $2.15 and resistance at $2.22, market participants are closely watching Ripple’s next steps.

BRICS: GOLDMAN SACHS ANALYST PREDICTS THE US DOLLAR’S FUTURE

Goldman Sachs analyst has provided a gloomy prediction for the US dollar as BRICS aims to topple the US dollar from the world’s reserve currency. The US dollar is the worst-performing currency in the forex markets as the DXY index dipped below the 100 mark.

 It hit a low of 98.06 after falling from a high of 109.40 early this year. The greenback has dipped nearly 9% year-to-date and eight out of nine leading currencies outperformed it in 2025.

BRICS: Goldman Sachs on The US Dollar’s Future: ‘Weakness Is Here To Stay,’ Says Analyst

Kamakshya Trivedi, Head of Global FX at Goldman Sachs said that the US dollar’s weakness is here to stay. Trivedi explained that the geopolitical winds have changed as emerging economies are now looking at their own benefits similar to how the US does on foreign policies. 

The Goldman Sachs analyst remains bearish on the US dollar as BRICS and other countries are diversifying their reserves.

“The US dollar weakness is here to stay. It’s going to persist, and it’s going to deepen,” said the analyst. He added, “I think the dollar weakness has further to run.” However, the Goldman Sachs analyst explained that the local currencies of BRICS countries do not pose a threat to the US dollar.

He stressed that the euro and Japanese yen could rise as the greenback declines in the charts. “It’s going to be the euro o+r the yen in the lead. That’s your typical ultra-safe haven. And I think that we could be getting back to the low 130s in quick time if the labor market data in the US start to crack.” While BRICS currencies might not pull the US dollar down, the euro and yen could, said the Goldman Sachs analyst.

America’s “Suez Moment” Has Arrived

America’s “Suez Moment” Has Arrived

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)   April 25, 2025

Don Edgar considered himself extremely lucky.

It was early in the morning on November 6, 1956, and the World War II veteran turned journalist for Britain’s Daily Express was one of just two reporters invited to witness Britain’s invasion of Egypt.

Standing on the bridge of a British warship, Edgar wrote that it was “the most impressive military operation the British had put on for many a year, with parachutists, marine commandos, tanks, aircraft, and a naval bombardment.”

Naturally he would say so. Edgar was British.

The rest of the world, however, was not terribly impressed. And the United Nations-- along with the US, Canada, Australia, and more, raced to condemn Great Britain for its aggression.

Britain naturally felt justified. Egypt had recently seized the Suez Canal-- one of the most important waterways in the world linking the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.

For Britain, the Suez Canal was a critical transport route for Saudi oil, not to mention a major asset; the British government had purchased a 44% stake in the canal back in the 1870s for a mere 4 million pounds, and the annual dividend soon exceeded their entire purchase price.

So, when Egyptian President Gamal Nasser nationalized the canal in July 1956, the British weren’t willing to take that lying down. To them it felt like theft.

Prime Minister Anthony Eden called it “piracy”, and he was willing to go to war to take the canal back.

Unfortunately for Eden, he underestimated the Egyptians’ resolve to fight.

Nasser responded by blowing up dozens of transport and cargo ships, effectively clogging up the canal and rendering it useless.

Eden also didn’t count on the immense global backlash… and not just diplomatically.

It was bad enough that pretty much every country on earth, from the United States to the Soviet Union, joined together in denouncing the invasion.

Britain was also severely punished by financial markets. Foreign capital fled the country. The British pound plummeted. Both the stock market and the bond market crashed.

It was absolutely brutal. Britain’s main stock index fell 170 points, roughly 8% in the span of ten days. Bond prices fell by 15% and bond yields surged as a result.

And the British government had to burn through roughly 15% of its total foreign reserves ($279 million at the time) just to keep its economy afloat.

Britain simply didn’t have the economic resources to withstand such intense financial pressure-- much of which was inflicted by the United States. So, the Brits quickly backed down and accepted the ceasefire terms dictated by the UN.

What started as an almost patriotic mission to reclaim British patrimony ended in a humiliating withdrawal-- and one that left no doubt in anyone’s mind that Britain was no longer a major superpower.

Financial markets do crash from time to time, often in reaction to government policy or some exogenous event. But it’s extremely unusual to have the trifecta, i.e. a major decline in the stock, bond, AND currency markets, simultaneously.

For example, if a government announces a major tax increase, then most likely the stock market will suffer a sudden decline. Higher taxes are bad for business, and valuations will take a hit.

But higher taxes would make bonds a more attractive investment (since the additional tax revenue makes the government more creditworthy).

So, stocks would fall, yet bonds would benefit.

As another example, slashing interest rates would typically be perceived as good for business… so stocks would rise. But the reduced rates (which may invite higher inflation) could be perceived as bad for the currency… so the dollar might drop as a result.

There are always trade-offs, and capital tends to move in/out of various asset classes.

But again, it’s extremely unusual for all of these assets to decline, so dramatically, at the same time. And it’s usually a pretty clear sign that capital is fleeing your country, i.e. foreign investors are pulling a lot of money out, quickly.

Usually if this freak occurrence does take place, it happens to some little banana republic. Zimbabwe and Venezuela come to mind.

But for a wealthy, developed country to suffer such financial humiliation is extremely rare… and signals that something has gone terribly wrong.

Again, this happened to Britain during the Suez Crisis. It also happened to Japan after their big crash in the 1980s.

Even the US was humbled in 1971 when the dollar was taken off the gold standard; the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 7% that August, the bond market fell (i.e. bond yields rose by more than 100 basis points), and the dollar lost 15% against other major currencies.

The US was able to recover back in the 70s, however, because it managed to maintain its position as the global reserve currency-- and even still, it took a decade of stagflation before they managed to right the ship.

This month we witnessed the same pattern. After the Liberation Day nonsense, the US stock, bond, and currency markets all crashed (and gold surged to $3500 as a result). Substantial foreign pressure mounted.

And, at least for the moment, it appears that the US government is capitulating; just like Britain in 1956, the US government lacks the financial sturdiness to withstand the pressure.

Also, just like Britain in 1956, this may be the moment that future historians mark as the end to US global primacy.

It seems naive to think that the rest of the world will simply move on and forget about Liberation Day. Most likely this fiasco will accelerate the US dollar being displaced as the world’s dominant reserve currency.

No one knows yet what that new system will look like. And it’s because of the “I don’t knows” that gold surged to a peak of $3500.

Central banks have been the key driver of that trend, because, while they don’t know what the next reserve currency will be, they do know that they’ll be able to trade for it with gold.

I still believe this long-term trend will hold, i.e. central banks will continue to trade their US dollar reserves for gold.

But at the moment, gold is looking a bit overbought; its surge in price has been nearly a one-way street, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a short-term correction.

On that note, it’s very difficult to find anyone today who is bearish on gold… and when everyone has jumped on the same bandwagon, I start getting a bit nervous.

Fortunately, there are still a number of absurdly cheap gold companies, like mining, service, and streaming businesses, that are trading at ridiculously low multiples.

We’ll talk about this more next week.

Gold to Hit $6,000? Dollar Reset & Bitcoin Boom Ahead | Frank Holmes

Gold to Hit $6,000? Dollar Reset & Bitcoin Boom Ahead | Frank Holmes

Kitco News:  4-25-2025

Gold recently hit a record $3,500/oz amid extreme volatility. Now, Frank Holmes — CEO of U.S. Global Investors and Executive Chairman of Hive Digital — says $6,000 gold is coming under Trump’s new term.

With Goldman Sachs projecting a 25%-30% dollar drop and BRICS nations rapidly stockpiling gold, is a global currency reset already underway?

Frank also shares his forecast for $250,000 Bitcoin, the rise of decentralized assets, and how both gold and crypto are being driven by loss of trust in traditional financial systems.

From central bank gold buying to mining stock cash flows and sovereign reserve shifts, Holmes breaks down the macro forces behind this dual breakout.

Clare:  Iraqi Deputy PM and FM Fuad Hussein in Washington Today

4/25/2025

WASHINGTON DC, United States 

Iraq’s Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Fuad Hussein is in Washington, and he will meet later today with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Hussein became Iraqi Foreign Minister in 2020, after two years as Finance Minister. A Kurd, Hussein was the long-time Chief of Staff to Masoud Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region, until his retirement from that position in 2017.

Hussein was most recently in Washington in March 2024, in the last year of the Biden administration, to prepare for the first visit to Washington of Iraq’s then newly-elected prime minister, Mohammed Shi’a al-Sudani.

The purpose of Hussein’s current visit is less clear, but it comes as the Trump administration has held a series of high-level meetings and discussions with its Middle Eastern allies.

Indeed, one of those first exchanges was a phone call between Rubio and Sudani in late February. Their discussion appeared to have been quite friendly, while they agreed on the need to resume Kurdish oil exports through the Iraq-Turkish pipeline, even as that has yet to happen.

Other meetings and phone calls between Washington and its allies in the Middle East followed.

They include an April 11 telephone conversation between Rubio and Masrour Barzani, Prime Minister of Iraq’s Kurdistan Region.

The next day, Sudani paid a rare visit to Erbil. In the meeting between the Kurdish and Iraqi prime ministers, almost certainly, Barzani’s exchange with Rubio was among the issues they discussed.

Issues on the Agenda between the U.S. and Iraq

Asked at a press briefing yesterday about Hussein’s visit to Washington, State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce confirmed that he “will be here at the State Department tomorrow for various meetings,” and “I will be in one of those meetings.”

But “as far as to the specifics of what will happen, I have nothing to preview for you at this time,” she added.

However, in a post to X, Hussein provided a bit more information.

“We will hold a series of bilateral meetings to strengthen Iraqi-American relations and coordinate efforts on regional and international issues,” Hussein wrote. “We will also discuss ways to enhance mutual security and cooperation in various fields.”

Presumably, that will include Syria and Iran, as well as the status of the campaign against ISIS. In addition, it will be quite interesting to see if there is any significant progress in resuming Kurdish oil exports.  LINK

Fed’s Desperate Bid to Stop Gold Price - Why it Will Backfire

Daniela Cambone:  4-25-2025

“Gold has become hard to control… Someone's putting pressure on the New York and London process of keeping the gold price mellow,” says E.B. Tucker, bestselling author of Why Gold, Why Now?

In today’s interview with Daniela Cambone, Tucker suggests that—like all cartels—the system was pushed too far and couldn't sustain itself. He argues that the gold futures market became so detached from physical gold that it lost credibility.

He points out that FedCoin, a central bank digital currency, will rise to dominate the financial system, ultimately replacing traditional forms of money.

Additionally, he opposes the idea of returning to the gold standard, warning it would lead to people being “wiped out.” However, Tucker recognizes gold’s critical role in the coming financial transformation.

Key Facts:

-The IMF Warning: should we be concerned?

 -Gold is becoming harder to control.

-Instant success in the stock market is a thing of the past

. -A mindset shift can transform your wealth.

-FedCoin is coming—what does this mean for you?

-Where is the middle class headed?

7 Big Mistakes to Avoid When Exchanging Dinar or Dong

(Dinar Recaps Note: This post is for informational purposes only.  It is not legal, tax or investment advice.  Dinar Recaps advises that everyone should do their own due diligence and seek local Professional tax, legal and/or investment advisers.)

Iraqi Dinar Breaking News: 7 Big Mistakes to Avoid When Exchanging Dinar or Dong

4-25-2025

For years, many have speculated about the potential revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) and Vietnamese Dong (VND). The hope is that these currencies will significantly increase in value, potentially offering holders a substantial return on their investment. But are you truly prepared for that revaluation day?

According to Iraqi Dinar Breaking News, the exchange process can be fraught with peril. One wrong move could cost you thousands, or even millions, of dollars. Their latest video exposes the 7 biggest mistakes currency holders make during the exchange process, arming you with the knowledge to avoid these costly pitfalls.

This isn’t just about luck; it’s about preparation. Here’s a glimpse into the critical errors you need to avoid:

1. Missing or Incomplete Documentation: You won’t be able to exchange your currency without the proper paperwork. This includes proof of ownership, identification, and potentially even purchase history. Get your documents in order now and ensure they are easily accessible.

2. Unverified or Damaged Notes: Not all IQD or VND notes are created equal. Learn how to identify genuine currency and ensure your notes are in acceptable condition for exchange. Avoid accepting damaged or suspicious-looking notes.

3. Breaking Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): In some scenarios, you might be asked to sign an NDA regarding the details of your exchange. Breaking these agreements can have serious legal and financial repercussions. Understand the terms and conditions before signing anything.

4. Tax Implications Ignored: The revaluation of a currency can trigger significant tax liabilities. Don’t get caught off guard! Consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to understand the tax implications of your potential gains and plan accordingly.

5. Trusting the Wrong People: The excitement surrounding a revaluation can attract scammers and fraudsters looking to take advantage of uninformed individuals. Be wary of unsolicited offers, guarantees, and high-pressure tactics. Only work with reputable and licensed exchange professionals.

6. Disorganization and Lack of Preparation: A chaotic approach to the exchange process can lead to missed deadlines, forgotten documents, and costly errors. Organize your currency, paperwork, and financial plans well in advance.

7. Failing to Properly Prepare Your 25K IQD Notes (If Applicable): The video highlights the specific importance of properly preparing 25,000 IQD notes. This might involve specific cleaning, handling, or documentation procedures. Failing to follow guidelines for these notes could significantly impact their exchange value.

Investing in the IQD or VND is a speculative venture. While the potential rewards are enticing, it’s crucial to approach the situation with a well-informed and cautious mindset. Don’t let your dreams of financial freedom be shattered by avoidable mistakes.

Take the time to educate yourself, prepare diligently, and seek professional guidance. By avoiding these 7 common errors, you’ll significantly increase your chances of a successful exchange and potentially unlock the financial gains you’ve been hoping for.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

XRP NEWS TODAY: RIPPLE REJECTS 2025 IPO DESPITE SEC WIN – HERE’S WHY

▪️Ripple confirms no IPO plans for 2025 despite previous speculation and legal clarity.

▪️Strong financial standing and strategic acquisitions negate Ripple's need for public offering.

▪️Ripple focuses on growth through acquisitions like Hidden Road to expand its financial reach.

XRP News April 25th: Despite years of speculation and growing chatter in the crypto world, Ripple has officially confirmed it will not go public in 2025. The company behind XRP has decided to take a different route—even after settling its long legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Why Is Ripple’s IPO Delayed?

In a recent interview with CNBC, Ripple’s President Monica Long made it clear: an IPO just isn’t part of the plan. She explained that Ripple is already in a strong financial position, holding billions of dollars in cash.

She added that most companies go public to raise capital or gain more visibility. Ripple doesn’t need either right now.

CEO Brad Garlinghouse echoed her view. He confirmed that Ripple is not seeking outside funding and has no plans to become a publicly traded company anytime soon.

The IPO Talk Has Been Around for Years

The idea of Ripple going public has been a hot topic in the crypto space. Back in 2022, Garlinghouse said an IPO would be considered after the company resolved its legal issues with the SEC.

That moment finally came in late 2023, bringing some much-needed clarity. But even after that, Garlinghouse made it clear: going public is not a top priority for Ripple.

Ripple’s Valuation Has Shifted, But Its Strategy Is Strong

Earlier this year, Ripple repurchased shares at a valuation of $11.3 billion. That’s a drop from its $15 billion high in 2022.

The share buyback raised $285 million, pushing Ripple’s total funding to $318.5 million. The company’s investors include major names like Andreessen Horowitz, Google Ventures, and Founders Fund—proof that confidence in Ripple is still strong.

Acquisitions Over IPOs: Ripple’s New Playbook

Rather than focusing on an IPO, Ripple is expanding through strategic acquisitions. Its biggest move so far is the $1.25 billion purchase of Hidden Road, a prime brokerage firm that handles around $3 trillion in annual transactions.

This deal is expected to strengthen Ripple’s new stablecoin, RLUSD, and help the company grow its role in global finance. It’s a major step toward building Ripple’s influence in the digital payments and blockchain infrastructure space.

Some XRP holders may have been hoping for an IPO boost, but Ripple’s approach shows confidence in its long-term direction. The focus is now on building technology, expanding reach, and leading innovation in cross-border payments and stablecoins.

For those tracking XRP price trends, crypto market news, or stablecoin developments, Ripple’s evolving strategy is worth keeping a close eye on.

FEDERAL RESERVE WITHDRAWS CRYPTO RULES FOR BANKS, ENDING 'CHOKE POINT' PRACTICES

The U.S. central bank will now treat crypto like any other banking service, instead of approaching the industry with particular caution.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation unexpectedly released a trove of documents on Wednesday detailing how the agency regulated banks’ approach to crypto.

Travis Hill, the FDICS’s acting chairman, said the agency is taking steps to enhance transparency as lawmakers move to investigate a plot dubbed “Operation Chokepoint 2.0.”

“The documents that we are releasing today show that requests from these banks were almost universally met with resistance,” he said in a press release. “These and other actions sent the message to banks that it would be extraordinarily difficult—if not impossible—to move forward.”

In December the FDIC published 24 letters detailing the agency’s push to delay or prevent American banks from engaging in crypto-related activities. But this 790-page batch of documents appears to contain correspondence covering banks’ ability to serve crypto firms as well.

In one letter, an FDIC appointee acknowledged that a bank’s board of directors had chosen to close all of an entity’s deposit accounts. While the entity wasn’t explicitly referred to as a crypto firm, the letter also sought additional information on the bank’s internal authorization “to engage with up to a maximum of three additional crypto companies.”

The letter also said that “banking organizations are neither prohibited nor discouraged from providing banking services to customers of any class or type,” but industry advocates have claimed the correspondence was further proof of the FDIC’s debanking plot.

The documents were unveiled shortly before Senate lawmakers began a scheduled hearing on “debanking.” So far, it’s been giving the public a first look at whether the FDIC unlawfully clamped down on the crypto industry.

Bitcoin and ‘reputation risk’

One snippet, highlighted by Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal, showed how a bank was deterred from offering an account to a stablecoin issuer looking to park reserves at the institution.

The bank was told that it “should not proceed with any crypto-asset activity” until the FDIC and another entity—the name is redacted in the document—found the practice was safe and sound.

In one case, Grewal said the FDIC did not raise concerns about “risks to the financial system.” But he did think it deterred a bank from offering a way for customers to purchase Bitcoin. In an excerpt, the FDIC stated that "reputation risk" or the prospect of Bitcoin’s price falling was at issue.

Though the conversation among lawmakers has focused intensely on the FDIC, which insures banking deposits and supervises financial institutions, the Federal Reserve recently weighed in.

A week ago, Fed Chair Powell stated that “banks are perfectly able to serve crypto customers, as long as they understand and can manage the risks.”

Some letters included in Wednesday’s document dump accused banks of false advertising, claiming that they did not include clear and prominent disclaimers that digital assets are not covered by FDIC insurance in advertisements.

On Wednesday, Hill signaled that more documents may be in the pipeline, as the agency moves to reverse practices under the previous administration.

“While this review remains underway, we are releasing a large batch of documents today,” he said. “Looking forward, we are actively reevaluating our supervisory approach to crypto-related activities.”

“Tidbits from TNT” Friday Morning 4-25-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Foreign Minister arrives in Washington

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein arrived in Washington, DC, on an official visit.

A statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA) stated that “Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs,

Fuad Hussein, arrived in the US capital, Washington, on an official visit during which he will hold a series of bilateral meetings with a number of senior officials in the US administration.”

The statement added that “this visit comes within the framework of strengthening bilateral relations between the Republic of Iraq and the United States of America, and discussing ways to develop joint cooperation in the political, security and economic fields, as well as discussing regional and international issues of common interest.”

The statement continued, “During his visit, the Minister is scheduled to meet with a number of officials in the US State Department, most notably Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State, in addition to holding meetings with prominent political and economic figures.”  link

Tishwash:   Al-Sudani: Our goal is to meet the needs of the Iraqi market and stop importing from abroad.

 Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani stated on Thursday that his government's goals include strengthening public-private sector partnerships, meeting the Iraqi market's need for local production, and halting imports.

This came in a speech he delivered during the inauguration of the executive works, via video conference, for six industrial projects in Muthanna Governorate, at a total financial cost of $1.171 billion.

In his televised address, he said that the private sector is the state's true partner in fulfilling various developmental and service obligations and needs for citizens, adding, "We have great confidence in businesspeople in this field and in the facilities provided by the government."

He added, "Our goal is to meet the needs of the local market and stop importing from abroad," stressing the need to meet the needs of the local market, whether for government projects, ministries, governorates, or others.

Al-Sudani continued, "Iraq is currently witnessing a clear push to implement service and construction projects, which requires more diverse materials to meet the needs of this market, regardless of imports." link

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

Tishwash:  What are the reasons for the decline in the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar?

On Thursday, April 24, 2025, Professor of International Economics Nawar Al-Saadi revealed the reasons for the decline in the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar in local markets.

 Local stock exchanges in the capital, Baghdad, witnessed a rise in the value of the dinar at closing this afternoon, with the selling price reaching 145,500 dinars per $100, and the buying price reaching 143,500 dinars per $100.

 The dollar exchange rate in Iraqi markets rose significantly in the fall of 2024, exceeding 1,550 dinars per dollar, or 155,000 dinars per $100, in some areas.

Trump's policies

Al-Saadi told Al-Jabal, "The current decline in the US dollar's exchange rate cannot be isolated from the global economic and political context, which is undergoing profound transformations. The United States has been facing negative economic indicators for some time, including slowing growth and declining retail sales data, which has reinforced market expectations that the Federal Reserve may move to cut interest rates in the coming period. This trend, by its nature, weakens the dollar's attractiveness as a savings and investment currency and increases pressure on it in foreign exchange markets."

He added, "Furthermore, the economic policies recently adopted by the US administration, most notably the imposition of tariffs on a number of goods, have contributed to raising import costs and increasing inflation rates, which has negatively impacted investor confidence in the performance of the US economy in the medium term."

He continued: "In addition to internal factors, there are also global shifts that are gradually beginning to impact the dollar's standing," noting that "the accelerating trend by some international powers, such as the BRICS countries, toward reducing reliance on the dollar in trade and financial transactions reflects the beginning of the erosion of the monopoly position the dollar has enjoyed for decades. These multipolar policies are beginning to have a clear impact on the balance of monetary power worldwide."

internal factors

Regarding the situation in Iraq, according to the expert, "The recent decline in the dollar exchange rate is due to a decline in local demand during Ramadan, when commercial activity and travel decrease, leading to a temporary decline in demand for hard currency. However, this decline is not sustainable, and the dollar is likely to rise again when demand returns to normal levels, especially with the approach of the summer import seasons, or if obstacles arise in the flow of foreign currency into the Iraqi market."

The professor of international economics concluded his remarks by saying, "The decline in the dollar exchange rate we are seeing reflects a state of economic anxiety and uncertainty rather than a long-term strategic shift."

Al-Saadi stated that "the dollar will not easily lose its global standing, but it is no longer the unrivaled currency, and the world is gradually moving toward new monetary balances that will have profound repercussions for developing economies, including Iraq."  link

Tishwash:  Soon... Indications of an Oil Discovery in Iraq

Positive indicators are increasing that strengthen the chances of announcing a new oil discovery in southern Iraq, amid active government moves to activate the latest licensing rounds and expand the scope of investment in exploration blocks, which will contribute to raising the country's production capacity in the short and medium term.

According to a statement reviewed by the Washington-based Energy Platform, the Joint Management Committee for the seventh exploration block held its first meeting on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, headed by the Director of the Wasit Oil Authority, Engineer Ahmed Mahdi Sabri, and attended by officials from the Chinese company CNOOC, to which the block was awarded as part of the fifth and sixth supplementary licensing rounds.

This meeting is seen as a first step towards a project that could lead to a confirmed oil discovery in one of the richest potential hydrocarbon reserves.

During the meeting, it was agreed to approve the work program and operating budget for 2025, in addition to affirming the joint commitment to implementing global best practices in exploration and development.

Oil discovery site

According to technical assessments conducted by the operating company, Block 7 shows strong initial indications of promising oil reserves.

The geographic scope of the block includes the governorates of Diwaniyah, Hillah, Muthanna, Wasit, and Najaf, giving the project a strategic dimension, particularly as CNOOC intends to adopt advanced technologies that will contribute to enhancing the chances of a highly economically viable oil discovery.

It's worth noting that this move comes as part of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil's efforts to revitalize recently signed licensing contracts, in line with the goals of the government's program and the state's vision to promote comprehensive development.

Oil exploration in Iraq

Iraq's oil exploration portfolio is witnessing a significant shift. On October 27, 2024, the Ministry of Oil signed the final contracts for the latest licensing rounds, in the presence of Oil Minister Hayan Abdul-Ghani. Abdul-Ghani announced that these agreements will contribute to the addition of 750,000 barrels per day of crude oil, in addition to the production of 850 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.

The minister affirmed that the ministry has ambitious plans to develop new exploration blocks, which constitute a pivotal part of Iraq's oil exploration strategy for the next phase.

The contracts cover vast areas, including the Al-Faw, Jabal Sanam, Sumer, Adan, and Abu Khaima fields, in addition to the Al-Khulaisiyah and Middle Euphrates fields, enhancing the geographical diversity of investment opportunities.

Through these tours, the ministry seeks to attract quality investments that will secure the fuel needed for power plants and manufacturing industries, and open up broad prospects for employing Iraqi personnel, making oil exploration in Iraq an extremely important development tool.

Production challenges and international commitments

In contrast, the Iraqi government is still required to reconcile its investment expansion with its international obligations under the OPEC+ alliance.

In April, Baghdad announced its commitment to reduce oil production by 120,000 barrels per day, with the reduction set to increase to 140,000 barrels in May and June to compensate for production overruns over the past year.

During the Sulaymaniyah Forum on April 16, 2025, the Oil Minister stated that Iraq is seeking to persuade OPEC to increase its production quota, at a time when the market is witnessing increasing pressure to control supplies.

Abdul Ghani indicated that his country intends to extend exclusive invitations to American companies, such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron, to strengthen their presence in oil exploration projects in Iraq. link

Thurs. 24 April 2025 BOMBSHELL: TRUMP’S $150 TRILLION PLAN — THE TRUST FUND HIDDEN FOR 161 YEARS …Quantum Financial System on Telegram

While the world scrolls, Trump loads the system. Beneath the chaos of headlines and media theater, the real shift happens in silence. Financial intelligence insider Jim Rickards has revealed that Donald J. Trump is preparing to unlock the largest hidden trust fund in human history:

$150 trillion in untapped natural resources
— copper, lithium, rare earths, energy assets
— buried beneath U.S. soil for 161 years.

This isn’t digital wealth. This is tangible power. And after a pivotal Supreme Court decision, the final legal barrier standing in Trump’s way has been removed. While the media spins distractions, Trump prepares to ignite the age of economic resurrection.

THE $150 TRILLION TRUST — AMERICA’S BURIED INHERITANCE For over a century and a half, America’s hidden treasure has remained locked away. Copper, lithium, uranium, rare earth minerals, gold, oil — valued at over $150 trillion, enough to:

– Erase the national debt
– End foreign energy dependence
– Rebuild infrastructure
– Restore monetary sovereignty

So why has it been suppressed? For decades, federal agencies guarded this wealth behind the Chevron Doctrine — a legal firewall that empowered unelected bureaucrats to dictate access and control over these resources, all while the global elite siphoned value through foreign deals and debt.

THE CHEVRON DOCTRINE FALLS — THE LOCK IS BROKEN Since 1984, the Chevron Doctrine has been the ultimate cage, giving federal agencies unchecked power. But now? The Supreme Court has just overturned it. The legal lock is gone. Trump, or any executive leader, now holds the key to challenge federal overreach and unlock America’s buried inheritance. This isn’t just a legal shift. It’s the trigger for the greatest energy and resource transition in human history.

TRUMP’S RESET — SOVEREIGNTY THROUGH RESOURCES Trump’s promise to “drain the swamp” wasn’t just political. It was economic warfare. With the Chevron Doctrine overturned and $150 trillion in resources at stake, Trump is positioned to:

– Rebuild America from within
– Crush foreign dependency
– Redirect the monetary system to tangible value
– Launch an economic reset grounded in sovereignty.

Trump’s return isn’t just about leading a nation — it’s about flipping the global economic system on its head. And the elites know it.

QUIET MOVEMENTS INTO XRP, GOLD & ENERGY While the public is kept in the dark, the elite are already repositioning:

– XRP — primed as global liquidity for what’s coming
– Gold, silver, uranium — tangible assets for the new standard
– Rare earths and domestic energy — the core of the $150T trust

Elite family offices, BlackRock, and institutional investors are already moving. Legislation is being rewritten. Assets are migrating into tokenized systems, ready for the shift. This isn’t crypto hype. This is the silent reconfiguration of global economic power.

WHY YOU HAVEN’T HEARD ABOUT THIS? Why is this silent? Why the media blackout? Because this isn’t meant for the masses yet. It’s strategic. While they distract with cultural battles and political theater, the foundation for Trump’s return and the activation of this trust is quietly being built.

THIS IS NESARA/GESARA — THE RESET BEHIND THE RESET For years, NESARA and GESARA have been mocked as fantasy. But their blueprint — debt erasure, sovereignty, global economic renewal — is exactly what this $150 trillion trust embodies. This is the architecture of NESARA/GESARA taking form:

– National debt erasure
– Resource-backed value replacing fiat fraud
– Legal barriers collapsing

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:
World Bank is saying Iraq is now economically stable.  FRANK:  IMO the World Bank is trying to tell the world Iraq has a new exchange rate or they wouldn't make such a bold and stupid statement like that.  The WTO doesn't require a new exchange rate but it does require your currency not to have any restrictions on it, therefor allowing it to go up in value when they are ready...

Militia Man   Article quote:  "The World Gold Council announced Iraq would rank 28th globally and 4th in the Arab world in gold purchases and reserves in 2025.  This confirms the central bank is proceeding steadily to achieve the objectives of monetary policy and reducing inflation, controlling the general price level, controlling the money supply, maintaining the dinar exchange rate within the target rate for the public and continuously monitoring and analyzing the interest rate set by the central bank..."  Iraq is clearly doing the things right...Whether she's at 1310 today or a new fresh real effective exchange rate, she has the tools used now that will do the same in the future...

In this video, we break down how Trump’s economic adviser, Stephen Miran, is working to reshape the global financial system through a bold new plan called the Mar-a-Largo Accords.

Discover how this strategy, inspired by the 1985 Plaza Accord, could dramatically shift global trade relations, impact the U.S. trade deficit, and influence how currencies are valued worldwide.

Learn how the plan proposes tariffs, currency adjustments, and a deeper link between trade and national security. Is this the start of a new economic era or a risky gamble?

We’ll explain this for investors, policymakers, and global markets.
