Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS NEWS:

BLOCKCHAIN-BASED BRICS’ INTRA-BANK PAYMENT SYSTEM ABOUT TO BE LAUNCHED

Imagine a world where the financial dominance of the U.S. dollar is challenged not by a single nation, but by a coalition of emerging economies. This is the potential future with the launch of a blockchain-based BRICS payment system — a move that could reshape global trade, financial markets, and even geopolitics.

 But what would this system look like? And what are the broader implications for both BRICS nations and the rest of the world?

The Vision of a BRICS Payment System
The BRICS nations — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — represent nearly 41% of the global population and around 25% of the global GDP. 

Their growing economic influence has made them seek alternatives to the U.S.-led financial order, which is deeply tied to the dominance of the U.S. dollar.

The idea behind a BRICS payment system is to reduce reliance on the dollar in global trade and financial transactions. Traditionally, the U.S. dollar has been the cornerstone of international trade, but this dependence comes with risks, including vulnerability to economic sanctions and exchange rate fluctuations. 

A blockchain-based payment system offers an alternative — one that is decentralized, secure, and potentially more efficient.

Why Blockchain?
Blockchain technology is the backbone of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but its potential goes far beyond digital currencies. 

At its core, blockchain offers decentralization, transparency, and security. Transactions are recorded on a distributed ledger that is virtually tamper-proof, reducing the need for intermediaries like banks and lowering transaction costs.

For BRICS, adopting a blockchain-based payment system could revolutionize how they trade, offering several advantages over the current SWIFT system, which is heavily controlled by Western financial institutions.

In addition to being a tool for bypassing sanctions (especially relevant for countries like Russia), blockchain would allow BRICS nations to settle transactions quickly and securely, minimizing the dependency on U.S. financial institutions.

The End of Dollar Dominance?
One of the most profound impacts of a BRICS blockchain-based payment system would be its challenge to the dominance of the U.S. dollar. Today, the dollar serves as the world’s reserve currency, meaning that countries use it as the primary medium for international trade and hold it in reserves. This dominance allows the U.S. to wield enormous influence over global finance.

However, the emergence of an alternative global payment system — especially one that includes major economies like China and India — could weaken this grip. BRICS countries would be able to trade among themselves in their own currencies or via a new BRICS cryptocurrency, reducing their exposure to dollar volatility and circumventing the need for dollar reserves.

While dethroning the dollar won’t happen overnight, a successful BRICS payment system would certainly pave the way for a multipolar currency system, with the dollar, euro, yuan, and a BRICS token all vying for dominance.

This shift could result in reduced demand for the dollar, leading to currency depreciation and potentially higher interest rates in the U.S. as the country faces difficulties financing its deficits.

The Geopolitical Stakes
A BRICS payment system wouldn’t just alter the financial landscape — it would also have significant geopolitical implications. For years, the U.S. and its allies have used the global financial system, particularly access to SWIFT, as a tool for enforcing economic sanctions. 

Countries like Russia and Iran have been cut off from the global financial system for political reasons, which has led to economic hardship and increased tension.

With a blockchain-based payment system, BRICS nations would be far less vulnerable to these types of financial measures. They could trade freely without fear of being shut out of the global banking system, thus diminishing the effectiveness of Western sanctions.

This could embolden BRICS members to pursue more aggressive foreign policies, knowing that their financial systems are insulated from Western pressure.

Challenges to Launching the BRICS Payment System
Of course, launching a blockchain-based BRICS payment system is easier said than done. One of the biggest challenges will be technological infrastructure.

While blockchain is a proven technology, creating a scalable, secure, and interoperable system that can handle the transaction volume of global trade is no small feat.

Interoperability is particularly important. The system would need to work seamlessly with existing payment systems, such as SWIFT and other national systems, to ensure that it is widely adopted. Moreover, there are significant regulatory challenges. Each BRICS country has its own financial regulations, and aligning these to support a unified payment system would require extensive collaboration.

Another challenge is trust and governance. Who would control this new system? While blockchain is decentralized by nature, the question of governance still looms large. Would China, as the largest economy in BRICS, dominate the system? How would decisions be made? These are issues that the BRICS nations would need to resolve before a launch.

Economic Benefits for BRICS Members
Despite these challenges, the potential benefits for BRICS members are immense. A successful payment system would strengthen economic ties between these nations, allowing them to trade more freely and efficiently. This could lead to reduced transaction costs, increased investment, and faster economic growth.

Moreover, a BRICS payment system would give these countries greater control over their monetary policies. Currently, many emerging economies face difficulties when the dollar strengthens, as their debts become more expensive to service. By moving away from the dollar, BRICS nations could reduce their exposure to currency fluctuations and gain more control over their economic destinies.

Impacts on the Global Economy
For the rest of the world, the launch of a BRICS payment system would represent a significant shift in the global financial order. 

Emerging markets that have close ties with BRICS nations, such as those in Africa and Latin America, could benefit from easier access to trade and investment. However, developed nations, particularly the U.S., might see their economic influence wane.

In the short term, we could see increased volatility in global currency markets as countries adjust to the new system. The U.S. dollar may lose some of its luster as a safe-haven currency, while currencies like the yuan could gain prominence. This could lead to higher borrowing costs for the U.S. government and businesses as global demand for dollars decreases.

A Game-Changer in Global Finance?
The launch of a blockchain-based BRICS payment system could be one of the most significant developments in global finance in recent history.

By reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar and bypassing traditional financial systems, BRICS nations could gain more control over their economic futures and reshape the global financial landscape.

 While challenges remain, the potential for a more decentralized, multipolar world economy is becoming increasingly likely. 

Whether this will lead to greater stability or new geopolitical tensions remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the future of global finance is changing, and BRICS is leading the charge.

HOW DEMOCRATS HAVE SHIFTED ON CRYPTO

While Democrats are yet to outline much crypto policy, the Democratic National Convention showed a significant change in tone, say Justin Slaughter and Sheila Warren.

There’s nothing quite like a political convention. The pageantry of patriotic songs and speeches. The cavalcade of speeches by party leaders. And, of course, the thousands of balloons dropping like snow on the newly nominated presidential candidate.

Yet, for crypto, August’s Democratic National Convention was an especially auspicious one. Despite the open hostility of parts of the Biden Administration, crypto was for the first time a welcomed participant. It makes sense: crypto owners now comprise about 20 percent of all registered Democratic voters, according to a Paradigm poll of Democratic voters a few days before the convention.

There is severe electoral risk if some of these Democrats deflect to the Republican ticket in a race that could be won in the margins.

Considering that the Republicans have openly and aggressively courted crypto, crypto’s coming out at the DNC signaled that the industry was, finally, beginning to have a truly bipartisan hue. Those on the ground in Chicago got to see this blossoming of Democratic interest first hand.

While most of the crypto-focused conversations were offstage, there was a hint of crypto’s growing importance in the main convention hall too. Young pro-crypto members of Congress and candidates for Congress like Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D.-TX) and congressional candidate Shomari Figures of Alabama both received significant speaking slots.

 Some crypto companies also hosted policymakers for discussions off the convention floor, as other companies and organizations have done for decades. Vice President Harris herself stressed the importance of building an “Opportunity Economy” in her keynote, with a special grace note praising the role of Founders in making America prosperous.

This was just the proverbial tip of the political iceberg, though. It’s easy to forget when you’re watching convention programming during primetime, but political conventions are much more than a few hours of short speeches and slick videos. Conventions are, at base, about letting members of a political party agglomerate in one physical space every few years, both for socialization and for strategizing.

As part of this communal process, the week was filled with panels, meetings, and even press interviews, all of which are designed to help the party build consensus on its policy views, goals, and even beliefs. These are the interstitial material that truly comprises our decentralized political parties. And it’s here that crypto really got to make its voice heard.

Over the week, there were panels on the basics of how crypto works and how Democrats can work to rectify the party’s strained relationship with crypto.

There were discussions about the importance of maintaining the hegemony of the dollar and the role of stablecoins. And there were frequent coffee and water cooler discussions with dozens of policymakers about how they can appeal to crypto owners.

During chats that week with a host of different policymakers and opinion leaders, we were most struck not by the statements of crypto supportive policymakers, but the skeptics. 

Even some ardent crypto skeptics said the current enforcement-only approach at the SEC wasn’t working, and that there was a need for legislation. As two people who have been calling for reasonable legislation for years, this was music to our ears.

The other part that was especially notable was just how normal it was. Policymakers were curious about crypto, both how it worked and its involvement in this year’s elections.

But this curiosity was not hedged with the upturned nose that accompanied some discussions about crypto in DC even last year. Instead, we were seen as just another young and novel industry, one that policymakers were trying to grok.

The Harris campaign underscored this banal normality when it made news of its “support” for crypto’s growth in a press interview with the campaign’s policy director, Brian Nelson. Despite some anxiety about Nelson’s view of crypto given his recent role as Undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Nelson announced on the third day of the DNC that a Harris Administration would “support” the growth of crypto in America. 

The statement was remarkable given how much a political war has been waged on crypto, and unremarkable for how basic it was. Why wouldn’t an American president want an industry to stay headquartered in America?

The Harris campaign has since released its platform, which has emphasis on entrepreneurs, small businesses, and American innovators. While crypto and other technologies are not mentioned by name, the rhetoric and tone used in the platform differs significantly from that of the Biden administration.

Since the DNC, both of us have continued to meet with policymakers and candidates from across the political spectrum, and what is remarkable is how similar most conversations are, whether with Democrats or Republicans down the ballot.

Policymakers are tired of (and in some cases, shocked by) the SEC’s approach under Chair Gensler. They want to preseerve and promote American national security and economic interests. And, by and large, they are deeply concerned about inadvertently ceding technological advantages to other jurisdictions, as happened with semiconductors.

More than anything else, an overarching feeling of simple acceptance for crypto pervaded Chicago. There are still many miles to go for the Democrats to actually find workable solutions for how they want to regulate crypto, but the first step to building something is to commit to doing it.

We were pleased to see Vice President Harris acknowledge recently that digital assets technologies need to be encouraged; while we may not have a schematic for how Democrats will execute a reset with crypto, both the DNC and recent Crypto4Harris event showed that Democrats across the ticket no longer question as a default whether crypto has a right to exist. That’s progress worth celebrating with a balloon drop.

XRP NEWS: RIPPLE’S 1,700 BANK DEALS COULD SEND PRICES SOARING – HERE’S WHY!

XRP is pivotal as bulls fiercely defend the critical $0.5785 support, setting the stage for a potential breakout. With the price consolidating and eyeing key resistance levels at $0.5920 and $0.600, the question is: will bulls take over and drive XRP higher, or is another decline looming? This battle for control could define XRP’s next big move, with significant upside potential if key levels are breached.

Analyst Take on XRP Price
Crypto analyst known as CryptoTank shared a detailed thread on the essential factors that will push XRP’s price in the future, focusing on its utility for settling large-scale transactions between financial institutions.

According to CryptoTank, to understand XRP’s price, it’s critical to distinguish between market capitalization and utility. The value of utility assets like XRP is calculated by the value and volume transacted on the ledger, divided by the circulating supply. This differs from conventional market cap metrics and means that XRP’s price is inherently linked to its usage by institutions, not by retail investors.

Deep Liquidity Is Key for Banks
CryptoTank highlights that banks using XRP for settlements must have deep liquidity. Institutions such as Bank of America, SBI, JP Morgan, and Swift settle a staggering $25–30 trillion daily. 

Even if only 10% of these transactions are conducted using XRP, that’s about $3 trillion on the ledger, requiring an even larger liquidity pool—likely double the transaction amount—to avoid potential failures.

The need for such deep liquidity stems from banks’ inability to afford transaction failures. A failed transaction can lead to costly delays and complications. 

Therefore, liquidity pools must be robust enough to ensure smooth settlements, and this demand will be crucial in driving XRP’s utility and, consequently, its price.

Ripple’s Expanding Network
Ripple’s influence isn’t just limited to a few banks; the company has over 1,700 undisclosed agreements (NDAs), potentially amplifying XRP’s demand and liquidity needs.

CryptoTank emphasizes that the numbers given are just examples of a few key players, and when the full scope of these institutions is considered, the liquidity requirements—and hence XRP’s value—could be even more massive.

One of the major standout points is that retail investors have little to no influence on XRP’s price. The price won’t rise based on retail buying pressure because retail activity pales compared to the daily settlement needs of massive institutions.

Likewise, chart analysis, which many traders rely on, is ineffective for predicting XRP’s price movements because it cannot account for the utility and liquidity requirements that will ultimately determine the token’s value.

Will China and BRICS Nations Destroy the Dollar?

VRIC  Media:  9-23-2024

Welcome to the official VRIC channel. Today, the discussion centers around the increasing momentum toward the de-dollarization of global trade, led by the BRICS nations.

As China, Russia, and other emerging economies strengthen economic ties and finance critical infrastructure projects worldwide, a shift toward a multipolar world is becoming more apparent.

With talks of a gold-backed trade settlement currency on the horizon, the dominance of the U.S. dollar appears increasingly fragile.

The conversation explores the upcoming BRICS summit and speculates on the feasibility of a new currency standard that could redefine global financial power dynamics.

Could we be witnessing the end of dollar hegemony?

“Tidbits From TNT” Tuesday 9-24-2024

TNT:

Tishwash:  Removing zeros from the Iraqi dinar is back in the spotlight..Strengthening the currency or just changing its form?

 Talk has returned again about the process of removing zeros from the local Iraqi currency, as the Central Bank of Iraq confirmed that the project to remove zeros from the dinar is subject to continuous review and study.

Countries remove zeros from their currency to revalue their national currency and simplify financial transactions. This is done by removing a specific number of zeros from the nominal value of the currency, making it appear less inflationary and more stable.

The central banks of these countries usually issue a new currency, equal in value to one hundred thousand or one million of the old currency, with the old currency gradually being withdrawn from the markets, after a period in which the two currencies are allowed to be used side by side. The most famous countries that have implemented this process, more than once, successfully were Turkey and the former Yugoslavia.

In his statements, Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, considered that the bank responded to global economic challenges such as rising energy and raw material prices by amending some monetary policies in line with the international situation and to enhance confidence in the Iraqi dinar and prevent a sharp decline in its value.

Al-Alaq pointed out that the Central Bank of Iraq increased its holdings of foreign exchange and gold reserves to strengthen the country's financial position and stability, in order to enhance its ability to confront potential economic crises.

Commenting on this, economic researcher Ali Daadoush said in an interview with Al-Mada, “The process of deleting zeros is linked to the Central Bank of Iraq,” indicating that “the issue is not new and was previously discussed about 14 years ago. “

Daadoush pointed out that "the process of deleting prices is psychological, as the commodity worth a thousand dinars will be worth one dinar and remain at the same value."

The economic researcher pointed out that "removing zeros leads to flexible dealing with the local currency and strengthens it, and may lead to increased production and diversification of the economy, and thus enhance the value of the Iraqi dinar."

For his part, economic affairs expert Mustafa Hantoush said in an interview with Al-Mada, “The issue of removing zeros from the Iraqi currency is only arithmetic and keeps the currency at the same value. That is, when you sell a house for 100 million, it will be sold for 100 thousand.”

Hantoush added that "countries resort to deleting zeros when there is an expansion in the value of the printed currency and problems occur in the book value and accounting entries, for the purpose of restoring accounting balances."

The economic researcher went on to say, “Iraq is currently suffering from problems with the exchange rate,” indicating that “the value of printing and replacing the currency costs Iraq time, effort and millions of dollars.”

Hantoush said, “The situation now requires focusing on how to maintain the value of the Iraqi currency against foreign currencies.”

According to the latest data, the Central Bank of Iraq's foreign reserves cover 83.62% of the broad money supply, which covers the cost of importing 15 months, while the global standard rate is 20%, covering 6 months of importing.

Foreign exchange reserves are a tool used by all central banks to maintain the stability of the local currency exchange rate against foreign currencies, as well as to reduce exposure to external crises by maintaining liquidity in foreign currency to absorb shocks in times of crisis.

The Iraqi currency is under great pressure, which has caused its price to decline against the dollar during the past period, including the increase in the Iraqi budget deficit. Two weeks ago, Mazhar Salih, financial advisor to Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, said that Iraq will face a budget crisis in 2025 due to the decline in oil prices, the country's main source of revenue. Salih said in an interview with Reuters: “We do not expect major problems in 2024, but we need stricter financial discipline in 2025.” link

Tishwaash: Iraq is close to completing its financial transfers electronically.. and the US Treasury reveals its economic growth rate

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani received yesterday evening, Monday (Baghdad time), US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo, and a number of officials in the Treasury Department.

 According to a statement by the Prime Minister's Office, a copy of which was received by {Euphrates News}, the meeting witnessed "discussing bilateral economic relations between the two countries in various vital sectors, reviewing the government's efforts and plans for economic and financial reform, the move towards diversifying the sources of Iraqi output, enhancing development targets, and practical measures implemented in the field of combating money laundering."

The Prime Minister stressed that the government has made great strides in the financial and banking reform file, and 95% of bank transfers have been completed through the electronic platform, and less than 5% remains to be completed by the end of this year, after which the transition to the correspondent banking system will take place, in accordance with the government’s approach and its commitment to raising the capabilities of Iraqi banks, in line with international standards and meeting the needs of the thriving investment environment in Iraq.  

For his part, Adeyemo praised the progress witnessed by Iraq in the field of economic and banking reforms that were achieved in record time, and the state of economic growth that reached a total of about 6%, which enhances the government's efforts in development, expressing his readiness to cooperate and work within a bilateral partnership that serves the interests of economic development. link

Compiled Tues. 24 Sept. 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: Liquidity for the Global Currency Reset would both activate on Tues. 1 Oct. So I’m thinking, hoping, believing we can count on it actually happening this time.

Global Currency Reset:

“On Tues. 1 Oct. 2024 U****c. Corp. Dissolves – Ends Fiat Monetary System Experiment. Gold/Asset-Backed Quantum Financial System Locked, Loaded & Taking Over.” …on Telegram Sat. 21 Sept. 2024

“The first week in October over the Emergency Broadcast System, the military will (allegedly) reveal all. Also, in the first week of October, we expect to see various countries adopting and rolling out a valid QFS. Military reserves and armies are expected to be activated in the US, Canada, UK, EU, Iceland, South America, Mexico, African regions, Malaysia and over 80 other countries.” … (JFK Jr.) on Telegram Sat. 21 Sept. 2024

Judy Note: Tues. 1 Oct. is the date the new United States of America Restored Republic and Global Currency Reset (allegedly) begin and when the Cabal’s fiscal year ends. Most important, Tues. 1 Oct. is the deadline for banks to be Basel III Compliant (monies backed by gold) or they will be closed. The banks will be taking on a different role as service-only centers.  In other words, after Tues. 1 Oct. the Caball which has been officially bankrupt since 2008, will no longer have access to US Taxpayer dollars.

Buy Gold, Dump Dollars: US Billionaires Plan for the WORST as More Fed Cuts Loom

Daniela Cambone:  9-23-2024

"The Fed will be forced to pivot, and when they do, it's going to send gold soaring even higher,” says Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter and CEO of the New Orleans Investment Conference.

Speaking with Daniela Cambone, Lundin explained that the Fed is cornered, with no choice but to cut rates to support the weakening economy.

He emphasized that these expected rate cuts will continue to weaken the U.S. dollar, further enhancing gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE VS SEC: JOHN DEATON BRINGS SEC MISCONDUCT TO LIGHT – XRP NEWS

▪️Pro-crypto attorney John Deaton has slammed the US SEC over the Ripple lawsuit.

▪️Deaton demanded damages for the XRP community and called for mass layoffs.

Pro-crypto attorney John Deaton has shed more light on the recently concluded case between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs Inc. According to the latest development, Deaton has accused SEC lawyers of intentional misconduct.

John Deaton Accuses SEC of Misconduct
In a recent YouTube interview, Deaton said the SEC exhibited serious misconduct by claiming that XRP is a security. This take comes as the US SEC recently apologized for the confusion caused by using the term “crypto asset securities.”

However, Deaton says the Ripple vs SEC case wasted money, capital, and energy. He said XRP immediately lost $15 billion, and people were liquidated when the markets regulator initiated the lawsuit.

“You shouldn’t be liquidated because of government overreach because the government and these unelected bureaucrats are doing what they are doing,” says Deaton.

According to him, Ripple spent over $100 million on defense. Deaton stated that he and XRP community members demanded that the SEC remove the “XRP is a security” language to resolve the case. He claims the SEC refused and even attacked him.

As a result, he said the SEC’s apology cannot be accepted and claims the lawsuit was intentional misconduct by its lawyers.

“People should be fired, they should lose their jobs if they were in the decision-making process,” Deaton stated.

He added that Ripple and the XRP community deserve compensation for the extensive litigation and expense over the SEC misconduct. Before the interview, Deaton wrote in an X post that the SEC’s crypto overreach has cost retail investors $15 billion. Deaton’s comments resonated with many XRP investors, even beyond the community, fueling ongoing discussions.

Is an Appeal Imminent?
His comments come as discussion grows over whether the SEC will appeal the Ripple decision. As mentioned in our earlier post, former SEC attorneys Marc Fagel and James Farrell are confident that the SEC will file an appeal. Attorney Fred Rispoli added that the SEC is still undecided and may wait until the last minute to make an appeal announcement.

However, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty confirmed that Ripple does not intend to appeal. He said Ripple had obtained a stay order on a $125 million penalty pending further proceedings.

Meanwhile, investor caution and market volatility could continue to impact XRP negatively if the case drags on. At press time, XRP is trading at $0.5883, down by 0.71% in the past 24 hours. The 24-hour trading volume decreased by 15.5% to $938 million, indicating reduced investor interest.

Despite current challenges, analysts predict a positive breakthrough for XRP as Ripple prepares for the Ripple Swell 2024 event. Another development that could push XRP higher is Ripple’s participation in Project Agora. As CNF noted earlier, this project, led by the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), will help boost Ripple’s global influence.

SEC CHAIR GARY GENSLER ADDRESSES CONGRESS ON CRYPTOCURRENCY REGULATION

▪️Gary Gensler will testify before Congress regarding SEC's cryptocurrency policies.

▪️His leadership faces scrutiny from both parties amid upcoming elections.

▪️The SEC's stance on crypto continues to draw significant criticism.

On Thursday at 18:40, Gary Gensler, the Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), will testify before Congress. The cryptocurrency market is focused on Gensler’s upcoming statements and his aggressive stance on altcoins, as the SEC faces increasing scrutiny.

Gensler to Speak Before Committees
On September 24 and 25, Gensler will appear before the Financial Services Committee and the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. His leadership has been under intense review from both partisan and political perspectives, making his statements highly anticipated. Republican committee members have criticized the SEC’s negative stance on cryptocurrencies for years, which has highlighted the Democrats’ anti-crypto position.

As the upcoming presidential elections approach, it is expected that lawmakers will press Gensler on cryptocurrency regulations and the handling of fraud cases such as FTX and Terra. Meanwhile, Coinbase‘s legal counsel received significant backlash for criticizing the SEC’s claims about “crypto asset securities.”

Gensler’s Supporters Decline
Ron Hammond, Director of Government Relations at the Blockchain Association, states that Gensler will face tough questions from both parties. Hammond noted that this session will differ from previous ones.

“Gensler has fewer allies this time; many are dissatisfied with the agency’s recent crypto approach.” – Ron Hammond

This marks the first time Gensler will testify alongside other SEC Commissioners, adding to the significance of the sessions. 

While Democratic leaders are expected to defend their policies, Republicans may question the agency’s direction, potentially aiding their electoral efforts by appealing to cryptocurrency investors.

Under Gensler’s leadership, the SEC continues to face heavy criticism from the crypto community and lawmakers. Recent examples include sharp critiques from House Majority Leader Tom Emmer and Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry regarding the SEC’s classification of crypto airdrops as securities.

The timing of Gensler’s testimony adds fuel to the debate, as he has faced frequent criticism from courts and Congress over the SEC’s aggressive enforcement tactics. Additionally, former President Donald Trump has stated that he would remove Gensler if he wins the upcoming elections.

Gensler’s testimony in Congress could hold critical importance for cryptocurrency regulations and the SEC’s future policies. Market participants and investors are closely monitoring the outcomes of these sessions.

TURKEY TENDS TO VIEW BRICS AS A POLITICAL TRUMP CARD AGAINST THE WEST — EXPERT

Turkish economist Bartu Soral noted that when looking at "the global distribution of power, it is clear that huge changes have occurred since the early 2000s"

ANKARA, September 23. /TASS/. Turkey's interest in BRICS has economic considerations, but purely political motives are also strong, Bartu Soral, one of the country’s leading economists, said in an interview with TASS.

"The decline of the West's dominance in the international system brings BRICS to a leading position in production and export. In this context, Turkey values its relations with the Turkic countries and with Russia, which is active in the region. There are many points of contact here.

Nevertheless, I think that the interest in BRICS declared by the Turkish government is an attempt to gain a trump card against the West and has political motives," he believes.

The expert noted that when looking at "the global distribution of power, it is clear that huge changes have occurred since the early 2000s. The G7 countries used to dominate, while today, for example, the EU and Japan have lost power."

"On the contrary, the BRICS countries are leaders in global exports and production. China has acquired significant production and technological power, including thanks to its excellent education system. Russia is strong in the defense industry. Brazil ranks second in the world in food exports. The Anglo-Saxons, who dominated in the 1990s, are losing ground," Soral noted.

Touching upon Turkey's political motives, the economist noted that BRICS is an economic association that needs to be approached in this spirit.

"We need a national program, a roadmap for interaction with BRICS, a production program in various industries in the context of the BRICS economy. Personally, I do not see such plans from the government and I think that Turkey's application does not have a serious economic basis," the economist believes.

Earlier, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that Ankara was assessing its participation in BRICS from the point of view of economic cooperation opportunities, but said that "the association itself is currently searching for an identity, options for institutionalization" and therefore it is difficult to say to what point the republic's interaction with BRICS may reach.

 Nevertheless, Fidan noted that "if Turkey's integration with the EU had ended with full membership in the union, then perhaps Turkey would not be looking for other options on many issues.".

QATAR LAUNCHES DIGITAL ASSETS LAB

Last week the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) unveiled the first participants in its Digital Assets Lab, “powered” by the Qatar Central Bank. The QFC avoided using the term sandbox, although the Lab’s aims sound similar, but broader. 

The goal is to encourage innovation and development in the distributed ledger technology (DLT) space. Plus, it provides regulatory support and is one of the pathways for landing a license to operate in Qatar.

It follows the recent launch of Qatar’s Digital Asset Regulations at the start of the month.

The creation of the Lab involved partnering with Google Cloud, local bank Masraf Al Rayan, The Hashgraph Association (THA) and enterprise blockchan firm R3.

“As the base product for the QFC ecosystem, R3’s Corda will power tokenization projects across Qatar’s financial industry, supporting the issuance, transfer, and redemption of digital assets,” said R3’s CEO David E Rutter.

However, some applications are likely to be deploy on the public Hedera DLT. In May the affiliated Hashgraph Association (THA) announced a $50 million Digital Assets Venture Studio in Qatar which is part of the Lab.

THA is planning to work in five areas:

▪️Equity Tokenization
▪️Sukuk (Islamic Bonds) Tokenization
▪️Real Estate Tokeniszation
▪️Sustainability/ESG – Carbon Credits
▪️Consumer engagement and loyalty programs

The Middle East is becoming a hotbed for tokenization, with multiple regulatory enclaves within the UAE alone, never mind Saudi, Qatar and elsewhere. Qatar’s banking sector is already internationally diversified, with around 30% of deposits from foreigners.

The Qatar Central Bank, which is involved in the Digital Assets Lab, completed its central bank digital currency infrastructure in June.

Digital Assets Lab participants
The Digital Assets Lab isn’t purely for new startups. We’ve regularly covered several of the participants, including Partior, Polygon, Settlemint, Taurus and Citi-backed xalts.

The full list of initial participants are: AISCIA, ALT DRX, arca-x, AssetShare, Audtye, Blade Labs, BlockStead, DMZ, evergon, Finrock, Falcon Nest Labs, itoo technologies, mintus, oori, Partior, Polygon, PropTech, ScieNFT, SettleMint, SidraChain, Skargard, Taurus, xalts, and Verity.

Telegram may hand over user data of rule violators to authorities

The Telegram team has removed all problematic content from there in recent weeks, Pavel Durov said, without giving any details

MOSCOW, September 23. /TASS/. Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov said that the messenger can disclose user IP addresses and phone numbers in response to legitimate requests from the relevant authorities. He clarified that this measure concerns violators of Telegram rules and is being introduced to deter criminals from abusing the messenger's internal search function.

"We have clarified that the IP addresses and phone numbers of those who violate our rules can be disclosed to the relevant authorities in response to justified legal requests," Durov said, specifying that Telegram has updated its terms of service and privacy policy, bringing them to uniformity worldwide.

As Durov explained, some users were abusing Telegram’s search function to sell illegal goods. The Telegram team has removed all problematic content from there in recent weeks, he said, without giving any details.

"Over the past few weeks, a special team of moderators has used artificial intelligence to make the Telegram search much safer. All problematic content that we identified in search is no longer available," Durov said. He also called on users to report illegal content.

Tishwash:  Iraq Plans Currency Redenomination Amid Economic Challenges

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has announced that discussions regarding the project to remove zeros from the Iraqi dinar are ongoing, with assessments continuing. The bank also noted a reduction in reliance on the US dollar for trade transactions.

Ali Mohsen al-Alaq, Governor of Iraq's Central Bank, stated that the bank is facing global economic challenges, such as rising energy and raw material prices.

To address these issues, it has amended some monetary policies in line with the international situation, aiming to increase confidence in the Iraqi dinar and prevent a significant decline in its value.

The central bank has also increased its holdings of foreign currency and gold reserves to enhance the country's financial stability and its ability to cope with economic crises in any situation, he added.

Many countries remove zeros from their currencies to revalue the national currency and facilitate financial transactions. This process involves eliminating a certain number of zeros from the nominal value of the currency, making it less inflationary and more stable.

Earlier this year, the Iraqi federal government decided to postpone a plan to remove three zeros from the nominal value of its currency notes, citing that the current economic climate is not suitable.

Last year, the central bank indicated plans to redenominate the Iraqi dinar to simplify financial transactions in an economy that remains heavily centralized and oil-dominated, where deals are often conducted in cash.  link

HONG KONG MONETARY REGULATOR LAUNCHES SECOND PHASE OF CBDC PROJECT

The HKMA has engaged 11 firms for advanced e-HKD+ digital currency trials, so far.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has announced the launch of the second phase of its central bank digital currency (CBDC) pilot program, known as e-HKD, according to a Sept. 23 statement.

The second phase will delve into advanced use cases for digital money, emphasizing e-HKD and tokenized deposits for individuals and businesses. The first phase focused on testing CBDC applications in domestic retail payments, offline transactions, and the settlement of tokenized assets.

The HKMA stated that the initiative has evolved from its original e-HKD focus and is now rebranded as Project e-HKD+ to align with the changing fintech landscape.

e-HKD Applications
The HKMA has engaged 11 firms from various sectors to investigate e-HKD applications in three main areas, including tokenized asset settlement, programmability, and offline payments.

Some of the participants reportedly involved in phase 2 include ANZ, Airstar Bank, Aptos Labs, BlackRock, Bank of Communications (Hong Kong), ChinaAMC, China Mobile, DBS, Fidelity International, Kasikornbank, and Sanfield.

The HKMA stated that these firms will evaluate the commercial viability of new digital money forms within real-world settings, aiming to enhance accessibility for individuals and corporations.

The results of Phase 2 will provide insights into the practical challenges of creating a digital money ecosystem that integrates both publicly and privately issued digital currencies. Project e-HKD+ will further develop the necessary technology and legal framework to support potential future issuance of e-HKD for both individuals and businesses.

To foster collaboration, the HKMA will establish the e-HKD Industry Forum. This platform will enable participating institutions to discuss common challenges and explore the scalable implementation of new digital money forms. Industry-led working groups will address specific topics, initially focusing on programmability.

Similar to Phase 1, an e-HKD sandbox will be available for pilot participants to facilitate prototyping, development, and testing of use cases. During Phase 2, the HKMA will collaborate closely with the selected firms over the next 12 months to share key findings with the public by the end of next year.

HKMA chief executive Eddie Yue stated:

“Project e-HKD+ signifies the HKMA’s commitment to digital money innovation.  The e-HKD Pilot Programme has provided a valuable opportunity for the HKMA to explore with the industry how new forms of digital money can add unique value to the general public.  The HKMA will continue to adopt a use-case driven approach in its exploration of digital money.”

RIPPLE VS SEC: IS THE SEC PREPARING A LAST-DITCH APPEAL?

▪️Legal experts believe the SEC will file an appeal, but the regulator remains undecided, creating uncertainty for XRP.

▪️Ripple is confident in its legal position, and analysts foresee a potential bullish breakout for XRP despite the looming appeal.

Following the development of the SEC’s appeal against Ripple, CNF highlighted its effect has put the XRP community on edge, current updates in the ongoing Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit suggest that an appeal from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected. According to legal experts, the SEC seems poised to challenge Judge Torres’ rulings on the XRP case.

As shared on his X account, former SEC attorneys Marc Fagel and James Farrell have expressed confidence that the SEC will file an appeal, emphasizing that not doing so would reflect poorly on the regulator. The SEC has two weeks left before the deadline to submit the appeal.

As the deadline approaches, the XRP community is growing anxious. Attorney Fred Rispoli speculates that the SEC remains undecided about the appeal and could wait until the last minute to make an announcement. 

Meanwhile, Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty have confirmed that Ripple does not plan to appeal and has secured a stay order on a $125 million penalty until further proceedings.

Interestingly, recent SEC actions in the Binance case suggest the agency may not appeal Judge Torres’ ruling regarding XRP’s programmatic sales, where the judge stated that buyers in programmatic sales were no different from secondary market purchasers.

XRP Price Surges Despite Legal Uncertainty
However, the trading volume has dropped by 25%, hinting at decreased activity among traders. Analysts are predicting a potential bullish breakout for XRP as Ripple prepares for its Ripple Swell 2024 event. The possibility of an SEC appeal could push XRP beyond its current $0.65 resistance level.

As of today, Ripple (XRP) is trading at $0.5897, with a loss of 1.09% in the past day and a 4.92% increase over the past week. See XRP price chart below.

CARDANO FOUNDER RESPONDS AS DEVELOPER INTRODUCES BITCOIN TO CARDANO BRIDGE

Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson reacts with surprise as a Bitcoin developer unveils a seamless bridge between Bitcoin and Cardano apps.

A Bitcoin developer, known as elraulito, has announced a breakthrough in blockchain interoperability, revealing a seamless bridge between Bitcoin and Cardano applications.

The developer showcased a smart contract on Plutus V3, allowing Bitcoin wallets to interact directly with Cardano’s ecosystem. This enables users to send ADA, manage tokens, and stake in Cardano pools without requiring a new wallet.

Notably, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson reacted with surprise as the innovation could mark a new phase in cross-chain connectivity.

Smart Contract Capabilities Explained
The developer detailed how the smart contract was built using a combination of tools and protocols. Notably, the contract employs aiken, a Cardano smart contract language, and CIP69, which enhances the address’s programmability.

A multivalidator enables transactions, delegations, and reward withdrawals, while MeshJS manages off-chain transactions. Mesh, an open-source library, supports Web3 app development and currently offers one of the few implementations compatible with Plutus V3.

This bridge allows Bitcoin users to engage in Cardano’s ecosystem without additional software, providing a straightforward onboarding process. As the developer noted, these capabilities could potentially extend to every EVM chain, broadening blockchain usability and functionality.

Community Reactions and Technical Insights
The announcement generated questions among enthusiasts, eager to understand the mechanics and applications of the new bridge.

One user asked how Cardano actions could be sent from a Bitcoin wallet, to which the developer responded that Bitcoin users can sign Cardano actions from their existing wallets.

If the signature is verified, the action is executed by Cardano nodes. This functionality opens doors to onboarding users from outside the Cardano ecosystem, facilitating interactions like airdrops and liquid staking without changing wallets.

Further discussions focused on the validation process. The contract validates the signature by checking the UTXO, receiver, amount, and asset details against its outputs. This validation ensures that transactions align with predefined rules set within the smart contract, providing secure cross-chain operations.

BRICS News:

THE TALIBAN MOVEMENT SUBMITS APPLICATION TO ATTEND THE BRICS SUMMIT IN KAZAN

Representatives of the Taliban movement have sent an application to Moscow to attend the BRICS summit which is being held Kazan, the capital of Russia’s Tatarstan Republic on October 22-24, RIA Novosti reported on September 21.

As it has become known, the Taliban want to be represented at the BRICS summit by the acting deputy prime minister of the country, the head of the political wing of the Taliban terrorist movement, Abdullah Ghani Baradar.

"We express our interest in the participation of a high-level delegation in the summit, in particular, Deputy Prime Minister of Afghanistan Abdul Ghani Baradar, as well as myself along with other participants," says an application sent by Nooriddin Azizi, the Taliban’s acting Minister of Commerce and Industry, to Yuri Ushakov, the Aide  to Russian President.  

BRICS is an intergovernmental organization comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates. 

Originally identified to highlight investment opportunities, the grouping evolved into an actual geopolitical bloc, with their governments meeting annually at formal summits and coordinating multilateral policies since 2009.  Bilateral relations among BRICS are conducted mainly based on non-interference, equality, and mutual benefit.

The founding countries of Brazil, Russia, India, and China held the first summit in Yekaterinburg in 2009, with South Africa joining the bloc a year later.  Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates joined the organization on January 1, 2024. 

Saudi Arabia is yet to officially join, but participates in the organization's activities as an invited nation.  BRICS is an informal group of countries that includes Russia, Brazil, India, China, and South Africa.

Last Time Fed Cut 50 bps Was The Start Of The Great Financial Crisis

Arcadia Economics:  9-23-2024

The markets are cheering that the Federal Reserve is once again back to lowering interests rates, and at a faster than expected pace.

 But the history of the beginning of new rate cutting cycles shows that all might not be so easily fixed. Especially when we look back to the last 50 basis point cut, which was delivered right as the Great Financial Crisis really began to accelerate.

So Vince Lanci looks through what's happened in the past, and compares that to the situation we face today. And to find out more, click to watch the video now!

Global War To DISTRACT From Currency Crisis - "I Hope I'm Wrong" | Matthew Piepenburg

Liberty and Finance:  9-21-2024

Matthew Piepenburg discusses the alarming state of the global financial system, arguing that it is caught in a cycle of excessive debt and centralization.

He highlights his forthcoming article titled "Global Snapshot: Stupid, Broken, and Evil," emphasizing that the current system is unsustainable, with war serving as a convenient distraction for politicians.

Piepenburg expresses concern over the Federal Reserve's recent emergency rate cut, suggesting it signifies a desperate attempt to manage an inevitable crisis rather than a sign of economic strength.

He points out that inflation is a persistent issue, exacerbated by poor fiscal policies and a political unwillingness to make necessary reforms.

 Finally, he notes a growing global trend away from reliance on the U.S. dollar as countries seek to protect their wealth through hard assets, indicating a significant shift in the financial landscape.

Global Currency Reset:

“On Tues. 1 Oct. 2024 Corp. Dissolves – Ends Fiat Monetary System Experiment. Gold/Asset-Backed Quantum Financial System Locked, Loaded & Taking Over.” …on Telegram Sat. 21 Sept. 2024

“The first week in October over the Emergency Broadcast System, the military will reveal all. Also, in the first week of October, we expect to see various countries adopting and rolling out a valid QFS. Military reserves and armies are expected to be activated in the US, Canada, UK, EU, Iceland, South America, Mexico, African regions, Malaysia and over 80 other countries.” … (JFK Jr.) on Telegram Sat. 21 Sept. 2024

Judy Note: Tues. 1 Oct. is the date the new United States of America Restored Republic and Global Currency Reset begin and when the Cabal’s fiscal year ends. Most important, Tues. 1 Oct. is the deadline for banks to be Basel III Compliant (monies backed by gold) or they will be closed. The banks will be taking on a different role as service-only centers.  In other words, after Tues. 1 Oct. the Caball which has been officially bankrupt since 2008, will no longer have access to US Taxpayer dollars.

BRICS Alliance; Chinese Elders:

BRICS was an Alliance of the nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa formed in 2008 after the so-called US “Mortgage Crisis.” In reality the crisis happened when the C***l continued to print fiat US Dollars while bankrupt and unable to even pay interest on gold borrowed from the Chinese Elders which backed that US Dollar, the basis for international trade. In the ensuing years since BRICS formed, they evaluated gold and resources of 209 nations in preparation for a Global Currency Reset. After the GCR all countries currencies would be at a 1:1 with each other instead of relying on the fiat US Dollar for international trade.

The Chinese Elders were composed of different multigenerational Chinese families living in the Philippines who over centuries, owned and held  responsibility for around 90% of the world’s gold, lending it out to countries for establishment of their financial systems. There were five top Chinese Elders who were responsible for the Global Currency Reset and RV release of funds.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Ripple CLO Talks Congress Insights on SEC and XRP

▪️Professor Reiners emphasized the need for Congress to address the regulatory gap in the crypto spot market.

▪️Ripple’s argument against XRP being a security aligns with Reiners’ testimony on investment contracts.

Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, has responded to Professor Lee Reiners testifying before Congress, which provided an illuminating viewpoint on the continuing legal dispute between Ripple and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reiners, known as both a pro-SEC and anti-crypto advocate, acknowledged the SEC’s recent setback in the Ripple case, underscoring three key factors with substantial significance for the crypto industry and Ripple’s journey.

Questioning the Regulatory Gaps and Decentralization in Crypto Laws
To begin, Reiners identified a significant regulatory gap in the crypto spot market, pointing out that neither the SEC nor the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) currently regulate this sector. This observation highlights an obvious flaw in the current regulatory framework for cryptocurrency.

Reiners believes Congress should take a more active role in closing this regulatory hole. Ripple’s Alderoty agreed, emphasizing the importance of legislative action to better address the changing crypto ecosystem.

Another key argument addressed by Reiners was the concept of decentralization in relation to securities legislation. He criticized the idea that securities regulations should be predicated on a “mystical” decentralization threshold, alluding to a 2018 speech by former SEC Director William Hinman.

This statement has sparked debate within the crypto community, particularly because it hinted that certain cryptocurrencies could be immune from securities restrictions if they achieved a sufficient level of decentralization.

Reiners’ stance is consistent with the broader crypto industry, which has long stated that decentralization should not be used to determine whether an asset is a security.

Reiners also addressed the topic of investment contracts, citing analogies to the landmark Howey Test case concerning orange groves. He underlined that the object of an investment contract, such as orange groves, is not a security in and of itself. A management contract must be present when something is considered security.

This viewpoint is consistent with Ripple’s central argument that XRP should not be categorized as a security since it does not meet the criteria for being an investment contract.

The Impact of SEC Changing Leadership on Crypto Regulation
One of Reiners’ most memorable comments was that “SEC chairs come and go,” implying that regulatory landscapes might move dramatically with changes in leadership.

This insight serves as a reminder of the transient nature of regulatory interpretations, implying that Ripple’s case may result in different consequences if future SEC leadership takes a fresh perspective on cryptocurrencies.

While the crypto community eagerly monitors these events, doubt remains over XRP’s future, notably whether the SEC would appeal the Ripple case verdict before the deadline of October 7, 2024.

This lingering uncertainty is currently placing downward pressure on the XRP price, which was $0.5843 at the time of this post, representing a slightly 0.55% fall over the last 24 hours.

On the other hand, Ripple’s partner, SBI Holdings, has made substantial progress in researching the integration of token-based bank deposits with central bank digital currencies. According to a CNF report, SBI Holdings has joined Project Agora, which aims to examine how tokenized commercial bank deposits might be integrated with wholesale CBDCs on a single ledger.

AUSTRALIA TIGHTENS GRIP ON CRYPTO STARTUPS WITH CORPORATE LAW CHANGES

Key Takeaways

▪️Australia wants all crypto exchanges to hold financial services licenses.
▪️The country has so far had limited success in its crackdown on the crypto industry.
▪️As of 2022, over one million Australians held at least one form of cryptocurrency.

Australia is set to further enhance the regulation of the cryptocurrency industry by requiring all crypto exchanges to hold financial services licenses.

The move will see the country’s corporate watchdog push for updated regulations to be enforced over the next two months, the Australian Financial Review reported.

Australia Tightens Grip on Crypto
The new licensing requirements are required as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) considers most major crypto assets to be relevant under the country’s Corporate Act, according to ASIC commissioner Alan Kirkland.

Crypto developers in the country have been confused about whether or not they should obtain an Australian Financial Services (AFS) license.

An AFS is needed for a “financial product,” which is when an individual takes on a financial risk or makes an investment.

ASIC is currently embroiled in two major court cases involving two crypto startups that have not obtained a license.

“ASIC’s message is that a significant number of crypto-asset firms in the Australian market are likely to need a license under the current law. This is because we think many widely traded crypto assets are a financial product,” Kirkland said.

ASIC Has Had Limited Success
ASIC will update its “Information Paper 225” for a November release. The regulatory paper will clarify how cryptocurrencies and other financial products should be treated.

So far, ASIC has had limited success penalizing crypto exchanges without a license.

Block Earner, an Australian crypto startup founded in 2021, was taken to court by ASIC, which alleged that the company was working unlawfully without a license. The Federal Court sided with Block Earner, claiming the startup had been operating lawfully.

ASIC sued Finder Wallet for not registering as a financial service. The court ultimately ruled that the startup did not need a license to operate.

The Australian watchdog is appealing both court decisions.

Australia and Crypto
Like the rest of the world, Australia has an evolving relationship with cryptocurrency.

In 2022, research firm Roy Morgan found that over one million Australians own at least one form of cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano.

A 2023 study by the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) found nearly 3 in 10 Aussie investors plan to buy crypto in the next year, with 15% already holding digital assets.

However, While Australia has generally welcomed innovation in the crypto space, a strong emphasis on consumer protection has remained.

According to a Finder report powered by Coinbase, 50% of Australian owners said the security and reputation of an exchange are the most important features to them.

Last month, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) found that half of crypto-related Facebook ads were scams.

The ACCC alleged that Meta was aware of crypto scams in its ads for the past six years.

“Meta has been aware that a significant proportion of cryptocurrency advertisements on the Facebook platform have used misleading or deceptive promotional practices,” the company said in a court ruling.

GOLD FOLLOWS BITCOIN PRICE RALLY TO NEW RECORD HIGHS, WILL MOMENTUM CONTINUE?

Inflation hedges, such as gold, have emerged as a more attractive option for diversification along with Bitcoin which is nor preparing for a mega rally in Q4.

Key Notes
▪️Gold has surged to a record high of $2,629 per ounce, gaining 5% in the past two weeks, following Fed rate cuts.
▪️Rising geopolitical risks, including conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have increased the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset.
▪️Goldman Sachs forecasts further growth in gold prices, projecting a surge to $2,700 by early 2025.

The gold price has been hitting new highs following the Fed rate cut last week while following the Bitcoin price trajectory recently. Over the past week, the BTC price has surged over 8.5% moving all the way to $64,000.

On the other hand, the gold price touched a record high of $2,629 per ounce on September 23. Within the last 15 days, the yellow metal has registered strong 5% gains. The major boost comes following the 50 bps rate cut by the Federal Reserve which served as the tailwind for the yellow metal.

A decrease in interest rates diminishes the appeal of assets linked to Fed-determined returns, like short-term government bonds, while making inflation hedges, such as gold, a more attractive option for diversification.

Furthermore, the appetite for gold investments has been growing recently amid rising geopolitical risks such as the ongoing wars between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Hamas. On the other hand, the uncertainty around the 2024 US elections is also another factor contributing to this.

Furthermore, banking giant Goldman Sachs recently reported that the gold purchases by central banks have tripled following the last two years of the Russia-Ukraine war. With more Fed rate cuts expected this year, Goldman Sachs researchers predict that the gold price will surge to $2,700 by early next year.

Gold Rally Isn’t Ending Anytime Soon
Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Financial Group, noted that gold has yet to surpass its inflation-adjusted peak of $3,200, set in 1980. Meanwhile, gold advocate Peter Schiff took the opportunity to criticize digital assets in a post on X on Sept. 23. Schiff noted:

“Gold just hit another record high, but few investors notice or care. With so much attention focused on Bitcoin, investors are not only missing out on gold’s gains but the significance of the rise.”

On the other hand, Bitcoin is also showing strength gearing up for a mega rally moving ahead in Q4 2024. 10x Research founder and CEO Markus Thielen noted that the chances of a major breakout increase as we approach the October-to-March period.

“Bitcoin’s 2024 performance has once again followed its seasonal pattern – just as it did in 2023. This is why traders should anticipate a major breakout, potentially reaching new all-time highs in Q4 2024,” he added.
