Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
Ripple Important Level of Contact with IMF Revealed in Fresh Palau Report
A recently released report on Palau’s National Government Payment Service has revealed a significant level of contact between Ripple and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Prominent XRP community member WrathofKahneman (WoK) unearthed this observation and highlighted it in a recent post on X.
Notably, the report from Palau highlighted the successful completion of Phase 2a of the country’s digital payment initiative. For context, this initiative focuses on developing a stablecoin service, “PSC.” Palau is carrying out this project in collaboration with Ripple, utilizing the XRP Ledger (XRPL).
This recently completed phase analyzed stakeholder requirements in six key socioeconomic areas to develop a framework for a convenient and accessible national payment ecosystem, especially for the unbanked and underbanked.
Additionally, the Palau digital payment system seeks to emulate the services of PayPal and Alipay in ways that precisely fit the context of Palau’s needs.
Its goals are reducing cash reliance, lowering fuel consumption and travel time, and offering lower fees. The report also reviews the pilot program, incorporating feedback and recommendations for a phased nationwide rollout.
Ripple’s Important Level of Contact with IMF
What stands out in this latest report is the inclusion of the IMF Technical Assistance Team among the stakeholders consulted for the project. According to WrathofKahneman, this points to an important level of technical engagement between Ripple and the IMF.
WoK emphasized the significance of this connection, noting that while the XRP community has long been aware of Ripple’s discussions with the IMF, this report serves as tangible evidence of their collaboration on a practical level.
Furthermore, WoK strengthens his argument by pointing out that the IMF’s recommendations align closely with the objectives of Palau’s National Payment System, which Ripple is helping to develop.
The IMF’s focus on enhancing financial resilience, improving payment systems, and carefully approaching fintech innovations mirrors the goals of the Ripple-Palau collaboration.
WoK believes this alignment suggests that Ripple’s involvement is not just incidental but deeply integrated with IMF-led financial strategies in the region, reinforcing the idea of meaningful contact between Ripple and the IMF.
Essentially, this revelation reinforces the idea that Ripple is not just working in isolation but is actively engaging with major global financial institutions like the IMF.
Such collaborations could pave the way for Ripple to play a more central role in future financial systems, particularly in regions where digital innovation and financial modernization are priorities.

RFK Jr.'s campaign may drop out to support Trump, says running mate Nicole Shanahan
Both candidates have adopted a pro-crypto position; their collaboration could create a powerful narrative in the 2024 election.
Key Takeaways
▪️ Kennedy's campaign is evaluating a potential endorsement of Trump to avoid splitting votes.
▪️ Trump has become a pro-crypto candidate, promising to support the industry.
Pro-crypto presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign is mulling quitting the election bid and joining forces with Donald Trump, said Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy’s running mate, on Tom Bilyeu’s Impact Theory podcast. Shanahan’s statements were first shared by Collin Rugg, Trending Politics’ co-owner.
Dropping out of the election race is just one of two possible outcomes. Shanahan said Kennedy’s campaign is also considering continuing their third-party bid, but it comes at the risk of splitting votes with Trump, which could benefit Kamala Harris’ campaign.
“There are two options that we’re currently looking at and one is staying in and forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency because we draw votes from Trump,” Shanahan stated.
“Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump,” she noted, adding that it would not be an easy decision and they would need to justify it to their supporters.
According to Politico, Kennedy’s campaign is struggling financially, with $3.9 million in cash and $3.5 million in debt as of July 2024. Despite efforts to boost fundraising, the campaign’s expenditures have consistently outstripped its income.
If Kennedy’s campaign team chooses to collaborate with Trump’s team, that could create a powerful narrative in the 2024 election as both two figures have adopted a pro-crypto stance.
Trump has positioned himself as a pro-crypto candidate, pledging to retain all Bitcoin held by the US government and to ease regulatory pressures on the crypto industry.
Harris’ position on crypto is unclear, though reports indicate that her campaign team has been working to reconnect with the industry in recent weeks.
Despite crypto’s growing popularity, its potential impact on voting behavior remains uncertain. Voters often make decisions heavily influenced by key issues like economic conditions.
Harris has recently faced criticism for her new economic proposals, with figures like former Obama economist Jason Furman questioning the practicality and sensibility of her plans.
Following her speech on these proposals, Harris’ odds of winning the election dropped to 49% on the decentralized prediction marketplace Polymarket, while Trump’s odds saw a corresponding surge to 49%.
