Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Nigeria’s SEC issues first license to local crypto exchange
As the regulatory environment continues to evolve, other local exchanges will likely follow Quidax’s lead and seek to meet the SEC’s requirements.
The Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission has issued Quidax, an Africa-based crypto exchange, its first provisional operating license.
The development signals the beginning of formal recognition and regulatory oversight for the country’s digital asset industry.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Nigeria’s SEC issues first license to local crypto exchange
As the regulatory environment continues to evolve, other local exchanges will likely follow Quidax’s lead and seek to meet the SEC’s requirements.
The Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission has issued Quidax, an Africa-based crypto exchange, its first provisional operating license.
The development signals the beginning of formal recognition and regulatory oversight for the country’s digital asset industry.
According to a press release shared with Cointelegraph, the SEC’s license permits Quidax to operate as a registered crypto exchange in Nigeria.
Quidax said the SEC’s approval is a “shot of adrenaline” for the Nigerian crypto community, encouraging further innovation and expansion.
Regulatory milestone
Buchi Okoro, the co-founder and CEO of Quidax, praised the SEC — particularly under the new leadership of Emomotimi Agama — for its decisive action to bring order, confidence and investor protection to the Nigerian crypto industry.
The regulatory approval now enables Quidax to collaborate with banks and other financial institutions, pending the Central Bank of Nigeria’s approval. The SEC’s licensing follows a comprehensive amendment to its rules on June 21, which covered digital asset issuance, offering platforms, exchange and custody.
A notable part of the regulatory overhaul is the introduction of the Accelerated Regulatory Incubation Programme designed to help virtual assets service providers align with new regulatory requirements.
Despite these advancements, there was initial concern that the stringent licensing requirements might significantly reduce the number of local crypto exchanges.
The Nigerian SEC mandates a minimum upfront capital requirement of 500 million naira ($556,620) and a current Fidelity Insurance Bond covering at least 25% of the stipulated minimum paid-up capital for both digital asset exchanges and digital assets offering platforms.
Nigeria’s crypto landscape
Nigeria — Africa’s largest economy — has consistently ranked high in global cryptocurrency adoption. According to a recent survey of 15 countries, Nigeria boasts the world’s most cryptocurrency-aware population.
Chainalysis’ “2023 Cryptocurrency Geography Report” placed Nigeria second in crypto adoption among 154 countries, underscoring its critical role in the global digital asset ecosystem.
However, despite the high adoption rate, the anticipated influx of foreign crypto investment has not materialized as expected. The new regulatory framework and Quidax’s licensing could potentially alter this trajectory by providing a more stable and secure environment for both local and international investors.

Hong Kong announces sandbox to accelerate RWA tokenization adoption
Hong Kong’s financial regulator launched a new sandbox initiative at testing tokenization use cases across asset classes and real-world applications in the financial sector.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has launched its new initiative dubbed “Project Ensemble Sandbox” in a bid to double down on its tokenization efforts of real-world assets.
In an Aug. 28 press release, the HKMA said the initiative aims to test and refine the use of tokenized money for interbank settlements and transactions involving tokenized assets.
The sandbox is said to focus on four main themes for its initial round of experimentation: fixed income and investment funds, liquidity management, green and sustainable finance, and trade and supply chain finance.
The HKMA says banks have already connected their tokenized deposit platforms to the sandbox, allowing for real-time testing of payment-versus-payment and delivery-versus-payment settlement mechanisms.
The initiative includes Standard Chartered (Hong Kong), HSBC, Bank of China (Hong Kong), Hang Seng Bank, and HashKey Group, among others.
In a separate development, Ant International, a tech firm headquartered in Singapore, revealed its participation in the sandbox with a focus on liquidity management. The company will work with Hong Kong branches of Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC to develop a global liquidity management solution that supports real-time, cross-border payments.
HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue commenting on the initiative said the sandbox marks a “significant step forward for the HKMA and the industry to explore the application of tokenization in real-life business scenarios,” adding that with the latest development it wants to further drive innovation and progress in the Hong Kong tokenization market.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 29 Aug. 2024
Compiled Thurs. 29 Aug. 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington
Judy Note: US National Debt was now over 35 trillion $ by way of the Globalist’s charging us interest to use our own US Taxpayer monies.
In 2008 the BRICS Alliance of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa formed to save Peoples of the World from being ruled by these Globalists. They formed a plan to rescue the bankrupted Global Economy by taking back our monies from control of the Caball, giving it back to The People and putting sovereign nation’s currencies on a gold/asset-backed standard.
As of last Sunday Banks could no longer control our money because with the Global Currency Reset in progress, they were being converted to service agencies. We also (Allegedly) no longer had to pay taxes to the Caball on our wages. The government (Allegedly) will be run by taxing us only on new items purchased.
That Global Currency Reset was (Allegedly) happening right now and will give People of the World gold/asset-backed currencies that trade at a 1:1 with each other. The Internet was being replaced by a new Quantum Internet which was 10,000 times faster.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Global Currency Reset:
Judy Note: It is my personal opinion that Tier4b (Us, the Internet Group who have purchased foreign currencies and/or Zim Bonds)are awaiting an EBS notification over our phones that directs people to watch their TVs to see 8 hour documentaries on happenings around the World. Around that same time we should receive notification to set our exchange/redemption appointments – which could be sometime during or right after the upcoming Labor Day Weekend.
Tues. 27 Aug. 2024 TNT: “Every agency is saying the RV is happening right now, and we’re just waiting for the 800 number to come in a couple of hours. Tony thinks it’ll happen over the weekend. September 1st makes more sense, and historically, rate changes in Iraq have happened in September. Also, at the moment, the Prime Minister, the CBI director and the Finance Minister are outside of the country.”

A New Beginning: The Activation of GESARA NESARA …Forbidden History on Telegram Wed. 28 Aug. 2024
Amidst chaos and uncertainty, there is a glimmer of hope in the form of GESARA NESARA. This mysterious acronym represents a significant shift in global affairs. It is said that the dismantling of old systems of government, education, finance, health, and commerce is underway, promising a new era for humanity. Could this be a ray of hope in these turbulent times?
A Black Swan Lurking: A Global Stock Market Crash: Ominous predictions of an imminent Black Swan-like Stock Market crash are heightening the growing tensions. Such an event could send shockwaves around the world and lead to a Global monetary transition affecting 209 countries. The impact of such a crisis is beyond imagination, and the world watches with bated breath.
~~~~~~~~~~
Wed. 28 Aug. 2024 What is NESARA/GESARA? David Wilcock
The World is on the brink of a seismic shift, one that few dare to fathom, let alone acknowledge. Yet, in the underbelly of the Internet, the whispers grow louder. Something monumental is brewing, something that will shatter the very bedrock of our societal structure. This revolution is none other than the implementation of NESARA/GESARA.
Steeped in secrecy, this policy change represents the greatest leap in human history. A small, enlightened faction of the global populace has anticipated this for decades. The rest? They are either blissfully unaware or mired in denial, their eyes unopened to the impending tsunami of change. Brace yourself, for what follows is the unmasking of a shadowy conspiracy.
What is NESARA / GESARA? NESARA/GESARA is the keystone to the revolution that will sweep across every nation on Earth this year. It signifies “The End of Poverty, The End of Debt, The Beginning of a New Golden Age!” Not a reformation but a revolution, GESARA is set to impact the entirety of our world, transforming all 206 sovereign nations.
At the heart of GESARA is a new financial system, a clean slate that wipes the debt-ridden chalkboards of the past. It zeroes out all credit card, mortgage, and other bank debt, this in response to illicit banking and governmental activities. The very idea of this is the Federal Reserve’s worst nightmare – a “jubilee,” a global forgiveness of debt.
This new financial paradigm goes on to abolish income tax and disband the IRS, setting up a 15% flat rate non-essential new item sales tax revenue for the government. Food, medicine, and used items like old homes will remain tax-free.
Imagine a world where the Constitution governs all legal matters and courts. This is part of GESARA’s vision. It returns Constitutional Law to prominence, ensuring justice is dispensed, not bought. It abolishes the notion of secret societies and special interest groups manipulating the outcomes of e*******s, introducing a new era of transparency and fairness.
As radical as it may sound, GESARA doesn’t stop there. The new law reinstates the original Title of Nobility amendment, initiates a new U.S. Treasury Bank System, eliminates the Federal Reserve System, and restores financial privacy. And perhaps most ground-breaking of all, it enables the release of over 6,000 patents of suppressed technologies hidden under the cloak of national security. This includes free-energy devices, antigravity technologies, and sonic healing machines.
By facilitating the advent of the “global gold-standard monetary system,” the IMF is an integral part of GESARA. This means all remaining fiat currencies will be traded in for gold-standard currency. In time, paper money will become an artifact of history. The financial system of the future is digital, underpinned by an impenetrable quantum server that scoffs at hacking attempts.
This new age won’t only bring financial revolution but also an overhaul of our values and perspectives. With newfound wealth, people are more likely to aid their relatives, friends, and fellow citizens. They’re more likely to contribute to humanitarian efforts, creating a ripple of prosperity and benevolence.
The time is now. Will you be ready to rise with the coming storm?

NASDAQ UNVEILS PLANS FOR SPOT BITCOIN OPTIONS
Today Nasdaq announced it has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission to launch Nasdaq Bitcoin Index Options (XBTX). Its partner is CF Benchmarks, the creator of the CME CF Bitcoin Real-Time Index (BRTI). The offering is subject to SEC approval.
The index represents current trades on cryptocurrency exchanges and these will be spot options. This complements the existing CME Options which are linked to bitcoin futures.
“Spot options settling to BRRNY (CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate – New York Variant) will build upon the hugely successful BTC futures and options contracts offered by CME,” said aid Sui Chung, CEO of CF Benchmarks.
“Together these regulated crypto derivatives will give investors the confidence to deploy more nuanced ways to gain exposure to the largest digital asset and will complement the spot ETFs that have already proved so popular with investors.”
On that point, there have been several filings for the approval of options linked to the Spot Bitcoin ETFs. This month four proposals were withdrawn by Cboe, NYSE, Nasdaq and BOX. A Bloomberg commentator expects to see re-filings and approval for ETF options in Q4.
Meanwhile, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) made a filing in May for spot Bitcoin options similar to the Nadaq’s, although those are based on the Coindesk index.

IOTA’s EVM, REAL WORL ASSETS, and DUBAI’s CRYPTO BOOM: Shaping the Future of DeFi
IOTA’s EVM, RWAs, and Dubai’s thriving crypto nature are poised to revolutionize decentralized finance.
Additionally, Dubai’s friendly regulatory framework and forward-thinking approach could transform Dubai into a key player in the crypto economy.
The growth of the blockchain ecosystem is fueling the development of cutting-edge technologies that have the potential to revolutionize decentralized finance.
In particular, IOTA’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Real World Assets, and the thriving crypto environment in Dubai. By converging these three elements, the future of Decentralized Finance is poised to flourish.
The launch of IOTA’s EVM, which happened mid-May this year, was a significant milestone in bridging the gap between its unique Tangle technology ( an innovative type of distributed ledger technology) and the Ethereum ecosystem- the king of smart contracts.
This integration means that developers can leverage Ethereum’s off-the-edge tools and Dapps, also making IOTA a force to be reckoned with in the smart contract landscape. Making this a dynamic duo, the IOTA network is acclaimed for feeless transactions and scalable network.
Going unheeded is the growing trend in the tokenizing of real-world assets such as real estate, commodities, and more. Bringing assets like this onto the Blockchain means easy trading, transparency, and security. As this real-world asset digitization, regions like Dubai, where the real estate market is blooming and has a strong appetite for innovation, could be a step in the right direction.
IOTA’s EVM and RWA lead the way in Dubai’s Blockchain Revolution
Since 2021, Dubai has emerged as a dubayy for blockchain and cryptocurrency innovation. Dubai boasts a crypto-friendly regulatory framework that has often attracted blockchains from across the globe.
Its forward-thinking approach has made the city the leader in real estate business, technology and innovation, Finance and banking, and the E-commerce sector.
Dubai’s ambition to become a leading crypto-friendly city aligns perfectly with the developments surrounding IOTA’s EVM and RWAs. The city dreads to integrate the thriving blockchain technology into various sectors from finance to real estate.
By amalgamating the finest attributes of both realms: IOTA’s secure data, feeless transactions, and minimal resource demands This, is a perfect recipe to foster innovative business models in Dubai.
Additionally, In doing so, Dubai requires a platform that will offer security, transparency, and efficiency especially when it comes to RWAs.
The synergy between these elements could unlock new opportunities for asset tokenization in Dubai. This would see real estate in the city being tokenized on IOTA, allowing fractional ownership and easier access to international investors.
This would not only boost Dubai’s real estate market but also contribute to the growth of the local crypto ecosystem.
Meanwhile, IOTA is swapping hands for $0.1353, marking a 3.70% and 20.04% decline in the last 24 hours and past month, respectively.

Walkingstick [Iraqi bank friend Aki update] New York is to remove the red tape that the United Nations is still holding on the banks of Iraq that are not participating in the monetary reform. These sanctioned banks may stay sanctioned or be shut down completely. It really doesn't matter to the monetary reform process but this is something that is needed to be done.
Fnu Lnu With the RV drawing near, the crazies are coming out of the woodwork...First of all, The redemption centers ARE the same as the banks. They are merely off premises due to an expected increase in traffic. They are not separate entities. Secondly..."The Law of One Price"...states an instrument cannot be sold in different markets at different prices. In other words, the "redemption Centers" (banks) are NOT going to offer you an exchange rate three times what the "Banks" give you. IT IS ILLEGAL! The rate will be the rate no matter where you go. The only thing that may differ is the percentage of the fee. This fee is usually 2% but that isn't etched in stone.
CENTRAL BANKS ARE BETTING AGAINST THE SAME SYSTEM THEY FORCE US TO PARTICIPATE IN.

The home price-to-income ratio is at an all-time high, surpassing the peak of 2006, indicating severe housing affordability issues.

IS BRICS ABOUT TO ANNOUNCE A GOLD-BACKED CURRENCY?
Back in July, BRICS announced the intention to create a new payment system to rival SWIFT and further the bloc’s stated goal of de-dollarization.
While the exact details of how the system works are not yet confirmed, Former Russian Ambassador to the USA Yury Ushakov made public statements confirming it would use cutting-edge digital technology, including blockchain. He called this an “important goal for the future.”
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
IS BRICS ABOUT TO ANNOUNCE A GOLD-BACKED CURRENCY?
Back in July, BRICS announced the intention to create a new payment system to rival SWIFT and further the bloc’s stated goal of de-dollarization.
While the exact details of how the system works are not yet confirmed, Former Russian Ambassador to the USA Yury Ushakov made public statements confirming it would use cutting-edge digital technology, including blockchain. He called this an “important goal for the future.”
The system is set to facilitate both cross-border payments and settlements and will not require U.S. Dollars. Further comments made by Russian central banker Elvira Nabiullina suggest that as many as 159 countries have expressed interest in using it, signaling strong international interest in ways to trade that don’t depend on the USD.
In a potentially related move, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill allowing digital currencies to be used for export payments. Evidently, Putin is trying to find ways to trade internationally while under U.S. sanctions due to the war in Ukraine.
Could the BRICS payment system use a gold-backed digital currency?
Anyone familiar with the digital currency industry knows that rumors and speculation circulate widely on little more than suggestive evidence and loosely connected dots.
So, it should come as no surprise that there’s been much debate about a potential link between Putin’s bill and the BRICS payment system and whether the “chosen” blockchain’s native token stands to gain in value.
What many seem to be missing is this: if the rumors are true and BRICS released a gold-backed digital currency, what does it mean for the digital gold narrative peddled by BTC proponents?
While BTC does have a fixed supply for now and users can take custody of their own coins, there isn’t much real liquidity supporting it, and there are well-known long-term problems with the economics of the system.
Could a gold-backed BRICS currency that is actually useful for trade be more appealing to speculators and those who still believe in both hard money and electronic cash? Time will tell, but as usual, BTC maximalists are intent on asking questions to confirm their biases and only tell one side of the story.
De-dollarization won’t be so easy
Whatever form the new BRICS payment system and currency takes, de-dollarizing won’t be easy, and it won’t happen quickly. Just look at some stats showcasing how entrenched the USD is in global trade:
▪️59% of all global reserves are held in USD, according to the IMF.
▪️ 80-90% of global trade is conducted in USD, and oil is priced in it.
▪️ 85% of all FOREX trades involve the USD.
▪️ 60% of all global debt issuances are priced in U.S. dollars.
U.S. Treasuries are still the go-to safe haven asset.
On top of the immense power that USD gives Washington, there’s also the issue of sanctions. The U.S. government can also tell any party doing business with entities it has sanctioned (e.g., Russia) that they aren’t welcome in the U.S. markets, restricting access to capital and more. These secondary sanctions are a powerful weapon in Washington’s arsenal.
While some will choose BRICS over the United States for political reasons, it’s unlikely that many will choose to lock themselves out of the world’s largest economy by nominal GDP, especially if other large markets like the EU are aligned with it.
Nonetheless, the BRICS system and currency will pose a meaningful challenge to U.S. financial dominance. Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and the other members are not to be underestimated and will play an increasingly important role in the future as their economies grow.
What the BRICS system will look like in the future is anyone’s guess, but with its annual summit ahead in Kazan on October 22-24, we may get our first glimpse soon enough.

IOTA completes EU blockchain pre-commercial phase
Iota completes the final phase of the European Blockchain PCP, setting the stage for scalable, sustainable and secure blockchain infrastructure across the European Union.
The European Commission has been working with leading blockchain developers to set the stage for a future of scalability, sustainability and security across the European Union.
The Iota Foundation announced its successful completion of the final stage of the EU’s blockchain Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP), along with seven other participants.
Blockchain advances in the EU
The developers have been working on “cutting-edge” prototypes using distributed ledger technology solutions that focus on specific touchpoints, such as intellectual property rights management and digital product passports.
Initiated in 2020, the European Blockchain PCP was part of a broader strategy to enhance the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI), a network designed to support cross-border digital services.
Iota’s recent completion of the third phase puts the foundation in a position to be able to contribute to the next generation of blockchain infrastructure under the forthcoming European Digital Infrastructure Consortium for Blockchain (EUROPEUM-EDIC).
This phase included collaborations with local partners, such as Software AG and the Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, to develop solutions on its blockchain that incorporate decentralized identities, smart contracts and advanced data sharding techniques.
The end goal is to enable scalable and energy-efficient blockchain applications running across infrastructure in the EU.
Dominik Schiener, chairman of the Iota Foundation, said:
“EBSI is a crucial step towards a cohesive digital future for Europe, providing the necessary framework for innovation and collaboration across various sectors.”
EU’s tech initiatives
As the European blockchain landscape transitions into EUROPEUM-EDIC, Iota said that it plans to solidify its partnerships with commercial entities and governmental bodies in the region to bring its prototypes to market.
Potential applications it highlighted range from automotive battery tracking to secure intellectual property management.
This development comes as the EU advances its policies and available innovations in the emerging technology sector.
In July, the EU confirmed its collaboration with ChromaWay to develop blockchain-based sustainability solutions.
The team from ChromaWay, along with other participants in the blockchain space, will join the EU at a follow-up workshop in Brussels this September to outline the next steps for Q4 2024 and into 2025.
Although Europe has taken a progressive stance in collaborating with developers and creating laws to regulate crypto and artificial intelligence, critics have become increasingly vocal that Europe’s progress may be set back by too much red tape.

Tues. 27 Aug. 2024 Nesara Gesara Secrets on Telegram:
NESARA (National Economic Security and Recovery Act) and GESARA (Global Economic Security and Recovery Act) are two economic reform proposals that have been circulating online for some time.
The main goal of these proposals is to make the world a better place by introducing several changes in how we deal with money. Some of these changes include:
Debt elimination: Imagine waking up one day and finding that all your student loans, credit card debts, and mortgages have vanished into thin air. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, that’s what NESARA and GESARA are proposing.
Introduction of a new currency: Say goodbye to the good old American dollar and hello to a new shiny currency backed by gold, silver, or some other precious metal. This would make the value of money more stable and less prone to inflation.
Tax system overhaul: No more complicated tax forms or surprise tax bills! NESARA and GESARA aim to simplify the tax system and make it more transparent, so you can finally understand what’s happening with your hard-earned money.
Helping the little guy: These proposals seek to support small businesses and individuals by giving them access to low-interest loans and other financial assistance.

Militia Man Obviously the budget is going to need to have an exposure of an exchange rate. After all these months, 8 months, 9 months, 10 months, why haven't they gone international at 1310? Why haven't they been put on the Forex at 1310 so they can...pay for all the roads, pavement, buildings, schools and try to find investors to physically come in with not a freedom of capital movement? I don't think they're ever going to be able to do that without having a Real Effective Exchange Rate.

FRANK: They give you all this monetary reform education because they are about to give you your purchasing power from it. If the purchasing power was not coming to you they would never have promised it to you in their speeches and you wouldn't be seeing your country exploding the way it is right now.

Tishwash: Billion Dollar Ambition.. Iraq Provides Facilities to Egyptian Companies and a Delegation from Them to Visit Baghdad Next Month
Egypt aims to increase the volume of trade exchange with Iraq by about 41% to one billion dollars during the coming year, compared to 707 million dollars annually, according to an Egyptian government official, at a time when major Egyptian companies expressed interest in investing in several sectors there in a meeting with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani.
The official's statements came hours after Prime Minister Mohammed Shia'a's visit to Egypt, where he met with a group of businessmen representing major Egyptian companies, who expressed their readiness to work in Iraq in various fields, especially the development road project, pharmaceutical industries, hospitals, infrastructure, and construction industries, according to a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office.
Al-Sudani pointed out during the meeting that “the doors are open to Egyptian businessmen and companies, whose presence in Iraq is important to us, due to their successful experiences, and within a political direction to lead the two countries towards more cooperation and integration,” according to the statement.
The government official added that according to the latest statistics, the value of Egyptian exports to Iraq amounts to about $700 million annually, while the value of imports from Iraq does not exceed $7 million.
In contrast, an Egyptian delegation headed by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Transport Kamel El-Wazir intends to visit Iraq on September 9, with the aim of completing procedures for strategic partnerships between Egyptian and Iraqi companies, and with the Iraqi government, according to what was revealed by Alaa Ezz, Secretary-General of the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce.
Ezz added that the meeting with Al-Sudani, which included representatives of several companies including Hisham Talaat Moustafa, Hassan Allam, Orascom and El-Sewedy, witnessed the presentation of “the contribution of Egyptian companies to the infrastructure in the field of housing and construction in Iraq,” adding: “We asked the Prime Minister to deal with Iraq as a partnership and not as a labor market, meaning that Egyptian factories will manufacture production requirements in Iraq, either by acquiring their troubled factories or partnering with them to operate them.”
Pharmaceutical Partnership
Ezz explained that they also asked the Iraqi Council of Ministers to establish a partnership between the two countries in the field of medicines in stages, by establishing Egyptian factories to produce medicines, adding that Iraq imports 90% of its medicine needs, worth 3 billion dollars, revealing that the Iraqi side promised to issue government guarantees to Egyptian companies that will operate in Iraq.
This is not the first time that Egyptian companies have expressed a desire to work in Iraq. Last June, two Egyptian sources said that the Iraqi Ministry of Health was holding talks with Egyptian contracting companies to participate in the implementation and rehabilitation of 12 hospitals in the country with a total investment of $480 million.
Role of contracting companies
In addition to the pharmaceutical sector, Egyptian contracting companies are moving towards expanding their business abroad and seizing business in countries that are allocating billions in investments for reconstruction and development, especially Iraq and Libya.
Iraq needs $88.2 billion to implement reconstruction projects inside the country, which witnessed great destruction during the war against ISIS, according to previous statements by the Iraqi Ministry of Planning.
Tarek Shukry, head of the Real Estate Development Chamber at the Federation of Egyptian Industries, said that the Iraqi Prime Minister addressed his country’s need to build 2.5 million housing units, and implement other projects in the fields of infrastructure, water, roads and utilities.
Shoukry added that the Egyptian Minister of Investment and Industry will be a link between Iraq and Egyptian businessmen, especially with regard to the details of the required investment projects, land locations, offering systems, methods of granting them, financial transfers, granting visas, and other important matters for investors.
Shoukry said that the Iraqi Prime Minister promised to send all the details of the projects within two weeks. link

Tishwash: OPEC Secretary General arrives in Baghdad
The Secretary-General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Haitham Al-Ghais, arrived in Baghdad on Wednesday.
The official spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Oil said in a statement today, August 28, 2024, "The Secretary-General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Haitham Al-Ghais, arrived in Baghdad on a two-day visit."
He added, "The visit comes within the framework of bilateral communication on developments in the oil market, in addition to enhancing and expanding the horizons of cooperation in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and OPEC Plus."
The ministry spokesman said, "Al-Ghais's visit schedule includes meeting with the Iraqi Oil Minister and a number of Iraqi officials."
Sabah Subhi, a member of the Oil and Gas Committee in the Iraqi Parliament, had previously told Kurdistan 24, “Iraq has exceeded its share of oil exports in OPEC, and must reduce its exports next year. Therefore, Iraq is obstructing all attempts to resume the export of oil from the Kurdistan Region.”
Sabah Subhi added, "The Iraqi Ministry of Oil is obstructing all attempts to resume the export of oil from the Kurdistan Region."
He explained that "Iraq exceeded its share of oil exports in OPEC by 1.4 million barrels out of the 3.6 million barrels allocated to it," adding that "OPEC has repeatedly warned Iraq against exceeding its share of oil exports."
As of March 25, 2023, crude oil exports from Kurdistan fields and Kirkuk province to Turkey via the Turkish port of Ceyhan have been halted.
In addition to suspending all oil activities of foreign companies operating in Kurdistan fields, after the decision of the International Arbitration Court in Paris that these exports are illegal.
This decision comes as a result of a lawsuit filed by the federal government against Turkey at the International Court of Arbitration in Paris in 2014, due to its allowing the flow of Kurdistan oil into its territory and its export without Baghdad’s approval.
According to an agreement concluded between Baghdad and Ankara in 2010, the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) is the only entity authorized to export, market and sell Iraqi oil in global markets.
Kurdistan used to export 450 thousand barrels daily to Turkey, to secure the salaries of its employees and its financial revenues, due to the absence of an oil and gas law regulating the management of oil wealth in Iraq.
On April 4, 2023, Erbil and Baghdad reached an interim agreement until the Iraqi parliament passes the oil and gas law.
This agreement stipulated that the Kurdistan government would hand over 400,000 barrels per day to SOMO, form a joint four-party committee to oversee the sale of oil in global markets, open an independent account at the Central Bank to deposit financial revenues, and appoint a representative from the regional government as Deputy Director General of SOMO. link

How Genghis Khan Is Driving Your Grocery Bill Higher
How Genghis Khan Is Driving Your Grocery Bill Higher
Notes From the Field By James Hickman / Simon Black August 27, 2024
Over eight hundred years ago, in what is now northwestern China, the Uyghur people— long before they were carted off to internment camps by the Communist Party— ruled their own independent kingdom, known as Qocho.
Then, in the year 1209, Genghis Khan sent diplomatic emissaries to Qocho. The message was clear: the Great Khan wanted to avoid a bloody military campaign, and he proposed a peace offering instead.
Genghis Khan’s deal was simple: the Uyghur people would keep their rulers, their infrastructure, their religion, and their customs. Their soldiers would live. Their buildings would not burn. Their women would not be touched. They would even be granted a high degree of autonomy.
How Genghis Khan Is Driving Your Grocery Bill Higher
Notes From the Field By James Hickman / Simon Black August 27, 2024
Over eight hundred years ago, in what is now northwestern China, the Uyghur people— long before they were carted off to internment camps by the Communist Party— ruled their own independent kingdom, known as Qocho.
Then, in the year 1209, Genghis Khan sent diplomatic emissaries to Qocho. The message was clear: the Great Khan wanted to avoid a bloody military campaign, and he proposed a peace offering instead.
Genghis Khan’s deal was simple: the Uyghur people would keep their rulers, their infrastructure, their religion, and their customs. Their soldiers would live. Their buildings would not burn. Their women would not be touched. They would even be granted a high degree of autonomy.
And in exchange, they would provide the Mongol Empire with administrative support, as the Uyghurs were famously adept in governance and literacy.
The Uyghur ruler, recognizing the military strength of the Mongols and the benefits of an alliance, voluntarily accepted these terms, avoiding destruction.
Genghis Khan is generally known to history as a butcher and conqueror. But he was also a fairly skilled diplomat; he understood that it was far better to talk and settle matters peacefully than to go to war.
Through peaceful negotiation, lives could be spared, resources conserved, and vital economic assets preserved— not just for his own empire but also for the kingdoms he sought to absorb. This meant more tax revenue for him, and prosperity for everyone.
Fast forward to the present day, and Genghis’s namesake— Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan— has taken the opposite approach. She wants to go to war... which in our modern era means lawsuits. She has no interest in diplomacy, discussion, or compromise; she just wants to sue businesses and take them to court.
Bear in mind, the FTC was created in 1914, back when a handful of huge companies wielded monopolistic control over key industries in America. So the government set up the FTC to protect consumers from being squeezed by these powerful monopolies.
But a century later, Genghis Khan is using the vast powers of her office to wage war on legitimate business... and even capitalism itself.
A few months ago, for example, Genghis decided to ban “non-compete” clauses from employment contracts. This is one of the fundamental principles of capitalism: a voluntary agreement between an employer and employee to protect a company’s investment and intellectual property.
But Genghis Khan wouldn’t hear of it. So she banned non-competes, even though she had absolutely no legal authority to do so. And this is typical of her— she just invents whatever authority she wants.
Another example we talked about a few months ago— Genghis filed a lawsuit against two major grocery store chains (Albertsons and Kroger) to prevent them from merging.
Her claim is that the merger will harm labor unions, though she offers absolutely no reasonable explanation or evidence to support this assertion.
More importantly, her job is to protect CONSUMERS.... not labor unions. But here we have it again: Genghis Khan has once again invented new authority for herself to be the Protector of Unions... even though Congress never tasked her with that mission.
The whole thing is so absurd, in fact, that the FTC has no reason to suspect that the merger of these two grocery store chains will harm anyone at all. If anything, consumers should benefit.
The supermarket industry is extremely competitive, with traditional grocers now having to compete with tech companies, co-ops, farmers' markets, delivery apps, big-box warehouses like Costco, and even Walmart and Amazon.
For Albertsons and Kroger, it’s clear that a merger makes sense; it helps them optimize their cost structure, achieve greater efficiencies, and thus deliver savings in the form of lower prices to consumers.
And lowering prices isn’t some altruistic act by these companies; lower prices will make them more competitive.
But Genghis Khan has no understanding of how capitalism works. In the sentiment of her fellow Marxists, she views capitalism as a zero-sum game, best encapsulated by AOC’s false logic: “No one ever makes a billion dollars. You take a billion dollars.”
This way of thinking is completely false. Sure, 1,000 years ago when the real Genghis Khan was conquering the world, economics was indeed a zero-sum game. Nations got richer by plundering their neighbors, and individuals became wealthier by taking from others.
But that’s not what modern capitalism is about. It’s not a zero-sum game. Capitalism is about making the pie bigger. It’s about value creation. It’s about making everyone better off— workers, customers, investors, even the government that collects tax revenue. Everyone wins.
But FTC Chair Genghis Khan acts like it’s still the year 1209. She doesn’t understand modern economics or the value creation principles of capitalism. So her tendency is to engage in warfare— not with soldiers on the battlefield, but with lawyers in a courtroom. Albertsons and Kroger never had a chance.
For example, the FTC initially howled that the combined Albertsons and Kroger company would have too many locations. OK fine. So the companies promised to sell off a percentage of their stores, and they even found a buyer.
Then the FTC claimed there wouldn’t be enough stores, and competition would suffer.
“Damned if I do, damned if I don’t.” Again, the companies never had a chance. There’s no satisfying Genghis Khan. She doesn’t want to talk. She doesn’t want a solution. She just wants to go to war.
The hearing started yesterday, and both sides showed up to court ready to fight. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the case is quickly dismissed, or that reason prevails in court.
Either way, it’s not a great outcome. If Genghis wins, food prices are likely to rise. But even if she loses, she’ll just find some other business to attack, or some other pillar of capitalism to assault.
In Genghis’s mind, lawfare is always and everywhere the answer. And somehow we are all supposed to become more prosperous because of it.
That’s capitalism in the 21st century, folks: the federal government will sue its way into prosperity.
Unfortunately, Genghis Khan is not isolated in her way of thinking. In fact, one of her biggest cheerleaders is none other than Kamala Harris, who has applauded this lawsuit for taking on “corporate greed.”
This is the sad lie they always use try to explain inflation; rather than acknowledge that their own policies and profligate spending have led to higher prices, they blame greed. And promise to sue their way to lower prices. It’s genius.
And it’s not just Kamala either— Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, Bernie Sanders, and a whole bunch of other very vocal supporters (surprisingly from both parties) are all on board with this idiotic approach.
It represents an obvious risk to prosperity and success. And that is something that should be factored into the long term planning of anyone who wants to build anything of value in America.

▪️Russia is set to start a trial for cross-border payments in digital tokens in September to ease the pain of crippling sanctions, sources tell Bloomberg.
▪️Only a scalable blockchain network with low fees and real-time transactions can serve the country, which has over 144 million residents, making XRP one of the best candidates for the role.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
RIPPLE NEWS: Russia to Begin Trials of Crypto Payments and Exchanges on September 1—Will They Use XRP?
▪️Russia is set to start a trial for cross-border payments in digital tokens in September to ease the pain of crippling sanctions, sources tell Bloomberg.
▪️Only a scalable blockchain network with low fees and real-time transactions can serve the country, which has over 144 million residents, making XRP one of the best candidates for the role.
Since the conflict with Ukraine started, Russia has become the world’s most sanctioned nation. For months, the government has relied on short-term fixes, which have helped prop up the ruble and keep the financial system afloat.
However, the weight of global isolation is catching up with Russia, and sources now say that the government is exploring crypto.
According to sources who spoke to Bloomberg, Russia intends to start the trial on Sunday. It will rely on its National Payment Card System to facilitate the swap between the country’s ruble and crypto tokens.
The system was created in 2014 to provide faster and cheaper payments for Russians. Today, it underpins the country’s interbank payment systems and the Mir, the national card payment network.
According to the two sources, the government picked the system as it already contains instant payments and features like interbank clearing, making it easier to integrate with all existing financial rails. The system is also operated and regulated by the central bank, giving the government added confidence.
The move, which hasn’t been made official or public at press time, is no surprise. President Vladimir Putin’s administration has been softening its stance on crypto in recent months.
Last month, legislators legalized crypto mining in the country, as we reported. The lawmakers also laid the groundwork for the testing of digital tokens for payments.
Two weeks ago, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov revealed that the government was working on legalizing crypto exchanges. However, he clarified that suitable regulations had yet to be formulated to make this possible.
“We haven’t found a solution yet on how to do this,” he said.
Crypto to Evade Crippling Sanctions—Does XRP Offer the Best Alternative?
Crypto might be Russia’s best to evade sanctions. While these sanctions encompass every fabric of the country’s economy, Western nations have mainly targeted Russia’s money, seeking to limit the country’s ability to send or receive money.
According to the BBC, the sanctions have frozen around $350 billion of Russia’s foreign currency (which accounts for half the country’s total reserves). 70% of the country’s banks have been frozen from the global economy, including being restricted from SWIFT.
Crypto offers a decentralized option whose access can’t be restricted by centralized entities, and sanctioned countries, including China, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela, are increasingly exploring it as an option.
Of the 10,000+ cryptos that Russia can turn to, XRP offers the best alternative. For one, XRP is already a massive player in the global movement of money, with its products and networks being integrated by some of the world’s largest financial institutions.
In some countries like Japan, over 80% of the banks are working on integrating crypto. Its low fees, instant transactions, and robust ecosystem make it superior to its peers.
XRP trades at $0.5913, losing 0.6% in the past day.

China considers sanctions against its companies due to ties with Russia illegal
According to the statement, such actions by Western countries "meet their egoistic interests, though [they] are not based on facts, with the international community not to accept them at any time"
BEIJING, August 27. /TASS/. Beijing considers unilateral sanctions imposed by the US and its allies against Chinese enterprises for suggested ties with Russia illegal, special envoy of the Chinese government Li Hui told a briefing following the fourth round of shuttle diplomacy on discussion of the conflict in Ukraine with Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa.
"Some countries take advantage of the crisis, winning their allies over to their side and continuing shifting responsibility [for the crisis]. Moreover, they are trying to throw around words on China’s responsibility," he said. "Using illegal unilateral sanctions, they threaten normal trade with Russia," Li Hui added.
Such actions by Western countries "meet their egoistic interests, though [they] are not based on facts, with the international community not to accept them at any time," he stressed.
After the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine the US and the European Union imposed a number of sanctions against Chinese enterprises for allegedly supporting Russia’s defense industry. Beijing rejects those accusations, noting that they are unfounded.
Li Hui visited Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa from July 27 to August 8 for discussing the Ukrainian crisis.

BRICS NEWS: Payments in Chinese Yuan Overtake US Dollar by 2.5%, Crypto Payments Next?
▪️ The Chinese yuan’s profile in global payments and trade is rising, overtaking the US dollar as the most used currency in cross-border payments in China.
▪️ It’s also making a mark in other countries and was the most traded currency on Russia’s Moscow Exchange last year.
The US dollar has dominated global commerce for decades, and today, it accounts for around 60% of all global currency reserves. However, the tide could be slowly turning as more countries recognize the power that a currency wields and seek to prop up their own.
One of the leading contenders is China’s yuan, officially known as the renminbi. While China is the world’s second-largest economy and the nexus of global manufacturing, its currency has failed to keep up with the country’s ascent since the turn of the millennium.
The yuan has failed to rival the USD and has even fallen behind the euro, sterling pound, and the Japanese yen.
However, global political realignments are changing the currency landscape. China is now closer than ever to Russia and has even courted other major economies as members of BRICS, including Brazil, India, the UAE, Egypt, and South Africa.
These nations are collectively against the USD’s domination and have been working on a blockchain-based alternative, as we have reported.
This solution could take a bit longer, as some of the BRICS leaders have admitted, and in the meantime, China’s yuan looks like the de facto currency of choice.
The Yuan Gains Ground—Is Crypto Next?
Last year, the yuan overtook the USD in cross-border commerce for the first time ever in China, accounting for 48%, while the dollar hit 46.7%. This was seen as a significant event that ushered in a new era of de-dollarisation for Asia’s largest economy.
It doesn’t end there. By the end of 2023, the yuan emerged as the most traded currency on the Moscow Exchange. It accounted for 42% of the trades, edging the dollar’s 39.5%, as reported by Reuters and other local Russian outlets. Yuan volume tripled to 34.15 trillion rubles ($385 billion), while that of the USD dipped.
This trend is bound to only get stronger. For one, Russia, China, Iran and several Middle-Eastern nations that are warming to BRICS are subject to sanctions from the US and its allies in Europe and Asia. Russia, in particular, is now the most sanctioned nation in history. This has denied its banks and payment systems access to the global payments grid.
Russia has been experimenting with crypto as a go-around, as we reported. However, in cross-border trading with allies like China, the yuan and ruble are more suited.
The USD isn’t going to be threatened overnight. America is still the world’s largest economy, and the country enjoys the support of Europe and some of Asia’s largest economies, including Japan and South Korea.
However, de-dollarisation is certainly on course. And once the greenback is out of the picture, the yuan could become one of the key players. Gradually, crypto could also play a much more significant role, especially if China changes its stance against crypto, as has been reported.
