We Love Africa: 10-2-2024
In a world increasingly defined by economic interdependence, the dominance of a single currency has profound implications for global trade and financial stability. For decades, the US dollar has reigned supreme, shaping international transactions and financial systems.
However, a new alliance is emerging, giving developing countries a viable alternative. The BRICS alliance—comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—stands at the forefront of this transformation, captivating the attention of nearly 40 additional nations eager to break free from the dollar’s grip.
Emerging economies in Asia, Africa, and South America share a collective aspiration to reduce reliance on the US dollar, and they are actively exploring alternatives. The financial landscape is shifting, as countries recognize the vulnerabilities associated with dollar dependence—be it through economic sanctions, inflationary pressure, or currency fluctuations. In response to these challenges, a diversified financial architecture supported by local currencies is becoming increasingly attractive.
The BRICS nations are leading the de-dollarization effort by creating pathways that facilitate trade and investment without the USD as the main currency. By fostering collaboration among member countries, they are working to establish a more equitable economic environment that promotes domestic currencies, reduces transaction costs, and ultimately strengthens their economies.
As interest in the BRICS alliance grows, nearly 40 nations have expressed a desire to join in 2024. This wave of interest highlights a fundamental shift in the global economic order. Countries from diverse backgrounds see BRICS as a platform to amplify their voices and interests in a world dominated by the West. By joining forces, these nations aim to reshape international trade and finance, creating a more multipolar world.
The motivations behind this expansion range from the quest for economic stability to a desire for enhanced political influence on the global stage. The BRICS nations are not merely coming together out of necessity; they share a vision of sovereignty and economic resilience that resonates deeply with many developing countries.
Among the BRICS members, China emerges as a pivotal player in this tectonic shift. Analysts predict that the yuan could become a preferred alternative for countries looking to navigate away from the dollar. China’s established trade relationships across the globe position its currency as an attractive choice for international transactions and investments. The Belt and Road Initiative exemplifies China’s strategy to expand its economic influence, promoting the yuan’s use in various regions.
As countries explore using local currencies for trade and investment, we may witness a growing trend of bilateral trade agreements that eschew the dollar altogether. This could lead to a gradual but significant decline in dollar transactions, reshaping the global financial landscape.
The potential for BRICS to influence the global financial system is staggering. While it remains to be seen how quickly and effectively the alliance can implement its de-dollarization strategies, the very essence of BRICS signifies a challenge to existing norms. By prioritizing cooperation and shared economic growth, BRICS could lead to a more balanced distribution of power in global finance.
However, challenges are inevitable. The complexity of integrating diverse economies with differing fiscal policies, trade practices, and financial systems poses serious questions about the feasibility and effectiveness of a BRICS-based currency exchange. Moreover, internal political dynamics and external geopolitical pressures could either bolster or hinder the alliance’s ambitions.
The BRICS alliance represents an important milestone in the global economy, offering a new pathway for developing countries to forge their own financial destinies. As interest in BRICS swells and countries rally around the ideals of de-dollarization, the implications for the US dollar and the global economic order could be profound.
Will BRICS succeed in gaining traction, and will more countries follow this path towards economic independence? Only time will tell. As we navigate this evolving landscape, one thing is clear: The emergence of BRICS is a wake-up call for the existing global financial system, signaling the dawn of a potentially new era in international trade and finance. Stay tuned as we continue to explore the potential impact of BRICS on the global economy.

SWIFT SET TO BEGIN LIVE BANK TRIALS OF DIGITAL ASSET TRANSACTIONS IN 2025
▪️Swift said banks will begin live trials of digital asset and currency transactions over its network next year.
▪️It marks the first time Swift will move beyond experimenting with blockchain transactions in testing environments to real-world settlement.

SWIFT SET TO BEGIN LIVE BANK TRIALS OF DIGITAL ASSET TRANSACTIONS IN 2025
▪️Swift said banks will begin live trials of digital asset and currency transactions over its network next year.
▪️It marks the first time Swift will move beyond experimenting with blockchain transactions in testing environments to real-world settlement.
Starting next year, Swift said banks in North America, Europe and Asia will begin live trials of digital asset and currency transactions over its global messaging network, which services more than 11,500 financial institutions.
Swift has previously experimented with blockchain transactions in testing environments. However, next year’s trials will pilot an advanced version of its infrastructure capable of orchestrating real-world digital asset and currency transactions across networks for the first time, according to a statement by the firm on Thursday.
The live trials will leverage Swift’s existing global network and interlink various digital and traditional currency platforms, providing a single system for banks to transact across borders with digital and fiat currencies, the firm explained.
The trials are designed to demonstrate how financial institutions can transact interchangeably across both existing and emerging asset and currency types using their current Swift connection.
“Global financial institutions will have the ability to use Swift’s global platform to conduct pilot transactions for the settlement of digital assets and currencies,” the firm said.
Moving from experimentation to reality
The announcement follows a series of recent experiments by Swift, working with web3 services firm Chainlink as an enterprise abstraction layer to connect its network to the Ethereum Sepolia test network.
The experiments demonstrated that Swift could provide one single point of access to multiple public and private blockchain networks, which could also support institutions creating tokenized assets and the development of central bank digital currencies — currently being explored by 134 countries.
"For digital assets and currencies to succeed on a global scale, it’s critical that they can seamlessly coexist with traditional forms of money,” Swift Chief Innovation Officer Tom Zschach said.
“With our vast global reach, we are uniquely positioned to bridge both emerging and established forms of value, and we’re now focused on demonstrating this in real-world, mainstream applications.”
A key aim of the trials is to address the rise of disconnected digital platforms that could hinder the widespread adoption of new forms of value, according to the firm. “While the scale is impressive, without interconnectivity between platforms, global adoption is set to remain fragmented,” Swift said.
“As new forms of value emerge, our intention is to continue offering our community the ability to seamlessly make and track transactions of all kinds of assets — using the same secure and resilient infrastructure that is integral to their operations today," Zschach added.

RIPPLE’S CEO DROPS TRUTH BOMB ON SEC: WHY THIS LAWSUIT IS A TOTAL JOKE!
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse did not mince words in a recent post about the SEC’s continued pursuit of its lawsuit against Ripple. Garlinghouse expressed deep frustration with the SEC, particularly its Chair Gary Gensler, stating that if the agency were rational, they would have dropped the case long ago. Instead of protecting investors, the SEC has damaged its credibility and reputation.
According to Garlinghouse, Ripple and the broader crypto industry have already secured victory on key issues, including XRP’s status as a non-security.
XRP’s Status is Clear, Despite SEC’s Appeal
Garlinghouse emphasized that XRP’s legal status as a non-security is now well established. Despite the SEC’s decision to appeal, Garlinghouse remains confident, calling the appeal misguided and infuriating.
He pointed out that when the SEC previously attempted an interlocutory appeal, it did not challenge XRP’s non-security status—an important legal milestone that Ripple intends to defend.
Stuart Alderoty Backs Garlinghouse’s Position
Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty echoed Garlinghouse’s views, labeling the SEC’s decision to appeal as both disappointing and unsurprising. Alderoty described the lawsuit as an “embarrassment” for the SEC, emphasizing that the court had already rejected claims that Ripple acted recklessly.
There were no allegations of fraud, nor were there any victims or financial losses in the case, which Alderoty believes further undermines the SEC’s rationale for continuing.
SEC’s Misguided Litigation Strategy
Alderoty also criticized the SEC for what he called “litigation warfare” against the crypto industry, accusing the agency of using the courts to stall progress rather than faithfully applying the law.
Ripple is currently evaluating whether to file a cross-appeal to further challenge the SEC’s position.
Alderoty vowed that Ripple is ready to fight once again in the appellate court, asserting that Ripple is leading the charge for the entire crypto industry.
In a striking coincidence, the SEC’s Enforcement Director, Gurbir Grewal, announced his resignation just an hour before the SEC’s decision to appeal. While Garlinghouse and Alderoty did not explicitly link the two events, the timing suggests potential internal shake-ups within the SEC, further fueling speculation about the agency’s long-term strategy.
Ripple remains committed to defending XRP’s non-security status and pushing back against what they see as a misguided, and ultimately futile, attempt by the SEC to extend the lawsuit. Both Garlinghouse and Alderoty remain resolute that Ripple and the broader crypto industry will continue to prevail.

There are Whales who have flown to Zurich to go to their appointments and receive their blessings. The RV is very complicated as they are dealing with all the currencies of the world and have them all gold backed. The Pentecostal group is about to release the funds to their members that are going to the event this weekend.
They will be given the codes and the PIN number to access their funds. They will be paid first before going to the gala night. I think about 300 people or more are going to the event from various countries around the world. Contracts are starting to get paid.”

Wed. 2 Oct. 2024 MarkZ: “The Historic Bond contact I was hoping could give me an update said they are now under an NDA. I am confident they got paid something at the table or they would not have signed it. A couple other bond folks told me they did get their final paperwork but the plan is not to pay the until early next week.
So paperwork is final…process is started but they will not get full release of their funds until next week. I wonder if it’s more of an international clearing process to get their spendable funds. In other words, two of my contacts were in a group so funds were given to the paymaster. Then the paymaster has to clear those billions in funds internationally then distribute those funds to all the people in the group. If these billions were moved from Europe to the US- there would be safety checks and balances.
This takes awhile. I very much think and am very confident money has been moving on bonds, just not as quickly as we want it to be moving.”

Indonesia Accept China's Offer: BRICS is next?
Fastepo: 10-2-2024
Indonesia’s stature as a burgeoning economic and military heavyweight in Southeast Asia is increasingly capturing international attention.
The nation boasts the largest economy in the region, with a gross domestic product of $1.19 trillion in 2023, ranking 16th globally by nominal GDP. Forecasted to grow at 5% in 2024, Indonesia’s economic vigor is propelled by robust domestic consumption and extensive infrastructure investments.
In the same year, Foreign Direct Investment inflows totaled $47.5 billion, enhancing key industries such as metal goods and telecommunications.
In 2023, the Indonesian military comprised approximately 1.05 million personnel, including 400,000 active-duty members, 400,000 reserves, and 250,000 paramilitaries.
This comprehensive force structure allows Indonesia to maintain a robust defense posture across its extensive archipelago.

🚨 JUST IN: MELD GOLD CONFIRMS TOKENIZED GOLD ON $XRP LEDGER—First transaction went through yesterday and a further rollout will happen through October.” — @meldgold 🙌Meld Gold will release two new stablecoins on XRP Ledger, backed by Gold & Silver.
Each token will… https://t.co/HmYs3tsVnM pic.twitter.com/wAUgCaXnMM— Good Morning Crypto (@AbsGMCrypto) October 1, 2024
Drawing insight from our previous publication, the collaboration between Meld Gold and Ripple primarily sought to enable greater access, efficiency, and utility to Real-World Assets (RWAs).
The plan was to offer institutional-grade functionality and built-in features to ensure more secure, efficient, and scalable financial services and use cases.
According to our press release review, the original plan was to release two new stablecoins on the XRPL backed by gold and silver. Specifically, each token was reported to represent 1kg of these metals that leading custody providers would hold – MKS Pamp and Imperial Vaults.
In that report, Meld Gold CEO Michael Cotton disclosed that his team is very well-versed in every component of the supply chain and would contribute massively to the expected RWA revolution.
Our team of industry experts has deep experience in every component of the supply chain, from origination, certification, and logistics, to storage and insurance.
Our passion for disrupting and advancing digital ownership is ideal for the coming RWA revolution. This is the industry, delivering the systems only they could design, to bring the physical world on-chain.
What Meld Gold Seeks to Achieve with XRPL Integration
According to Meld Gold, its offer of the world’s most accepted assets on-chain would certainly redefine the XRPL’s Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
With this, both new and old users would leverage the XRPL’s native features, which include Decentralized Exchange (DEX) and Automated Market Maker (AMM).
Over the years, Meld Gold has closely worked with precious metals in its quest to provide infrastructure for a successful transition of assets on-chain. According to a blog post, with the first transaction reportedly successful, the subsequent months are expected to witness additional upgrades.
This would include the “implementation of patent-pending work on minimized trust systems for connecting physical items to the blockchain.”
Utilizing blockchain technology offers significant advantages, such as immediate global accessibility, simple and secure ownership accountability, and standardized data rails for interoperability and velocity.
A key component, often overlooked, is how the assets are connected to the blockchain and precisely how they are accounted for. Precious metals, being physical assets, always require trust, but minimizing this to only the required level is crucial.
Recently, Ripple announced that its yet-to-be-launched RLUSD stablecoin on the XRPL has reached an advanced phase, with 99% of its total supply minted. As we reported, 800,000 new tokens have been created after 100,000 tokens were generated several months ago.

RIPPLE UNVEILS SIMPLIFIED VAULT AND LENDING UPDATES ON XRP LEDGER
▪️Ripple simplifies asset management on the XRP Ledger with updates to the Vault and Lending Protocols.
▪️Meld Gold partners with Ripple to introduce tokenized gold and silver assets on the XRP Ledger.
In a tweet, Ripple has announced significant improvements to its Vault and Lending Protocols, paving the way for more efficient and user-friendly operations on the platform. These modifications are part of a larger goal to improve asset management and lending operations in the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem, which benefits both developers and users.
Streamlined Asset Management and Lending on the XRP Ledger
According to the statement, the XLS-65d Single Asset Vault (SAV) has been significantly redesigned, reducing its structure to increase overall efficiency. The revised design removes two previously required transactions, allowing the Vault to store assets directly.
This update is designed to make asset management faster and more cost-effective for users by eliminating unnecessary processes that previously hindered the process.
Meanwhile, the XLS-66d Lending Protocol has been revised to reflect these Vault modifications. Previously, users had to go through many processes to deposit and redeem assets, but the revised protocol eliminates these extra steps completely.
This streamlined approach greatly minimizes friction for users, resulting in a more seamless lending experience inside the XRPL ecosystem.
One of the primary points mentioned by Ripple is its compliance-first strategy. Both the Vault and Lending Protocol improvements are intended to simplify and integrate Clawback and Freezing requirements.
These modifications ensure that the protocol complies with industry rules while also making it easier for users to traverse the platform. By tackling these regulatory concerns square on, Ripple hopes to boost trust in its ecosystem, particularly among institutional users looking for a compliant blockchain solution.
In addition to Ripple’s recent improvements, the XRP Ledger is evolving through collaboration and innovation. According to a prior CNF report, Meld Gold has teamed with Ripple to launch tokenized assets representing gold and silver on the XRPL.
The initial objective is to introduce two stablecoins backed by these precious metals, which will increase the XRP Ledger’s use cases. This move is a huge step forward in integrating real-world assets to the blockchain, giving consumers a concrete connection to gold and silver while remaining inside the XRPL’s decentralized infrastructure.
On the other hand, as we previously noted, Xaman Wallet version 3.0 has added a revenue-sharing model to help XRPL developers and improve the whole ecosystem.
The most recent upgrade includes several important features, including a threshold-based paradigm, universal transaction signing, and increased developer and user accessibility. These upgrades aim to make the XRPL ecosystem more accessible and developer-friendly, fostering innovation and growth.
Meanwhile, as of writing, XRP is trading at $0.6014, down 3.18% over the last 24 hours. This fall has taken XRP’s market cap back under $35 billion.

BE CAREFUL! This Is Serious - The Crash Will Be WORSE Than 2008 - Chris Vermeulen
Finance Flow: 10-1-2024
America's slowing job market is weighing heavily on consumer sentiment. The latest survey from the Conference Board reveals that Americans have become significantly more pessimistic about the current state of the U.S. economy and the future of the job market.
Adding to these concerns are exceedingly high debt levels across major global economies, increasing the likelihood of not just one but potentially multiple debt crises ahead. In the U.S., the Congressional Budget Office projects that the debt-to-GDP ratio will surpass 150% by 2034, up from the current 98%, pushing the nation's debt to its highest level in history.

America's slowing job market is weighing heavily on consumer sentiment. The latest survey from the Conference Board reveals that Americans have become significantly more pessimistic about the current state of the U.S. economy and the future of the job market.
Adding to these concerns are exceedingly high debt levels across major global economies, increasing the likelihood of not just one but potentially multiple debt crises ahead. In the U.S., the Congressional Budget Office projects that the debt-to-GDP ratio will surpass 150% by 2034, up from the current 98%, pushing the nation's debt to its highest level in history.
Chris Vermeulen of The Technical Traders, speaking with Liberty and Finance, shares his insights on the current market, suggesting that a significant decline may be on the horizon as the stock market shows signs of topping out.
He points to several warning signals, including worsening economic data, rising unemployment, maxed-out business sales, skyrocketing credit card debt, and increasing mortgage delinquencies in both commercial and residential sectors. Vermeulen believes these are typical indicators of a Stage 3 market environment, where underlying issues begin to worsen before becoming more visible.
More stocks are joining the S&P 500's recent surge to record highs, easing earlier concerns that the 2024 rally was primarily driven by a few giant tech companies.
The index is on pace to gain 5% in the third quarter, which ends on Monday. This time, however, optimism surrounding the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts is encouraging investors to move into regional banks, industrial companies, and other sectors poised to benefit from a stronger economy and lower interest rates, in addition to the tech stocks that have already seen significant gains this year.
Despite this positive momentum, Chris Vermeulen warns of several concerning signs that suggest the stock market is beginning to break down, even though the indexes continue to perform well. He foresees a potential correction of 30%, 40%, or even 50%, noting that the 2022 pullback of around 25% was just a precursor to what might be coming.
The Federal Reserve began its first rate-cutting cycle in four years earlier this month with a 50-basis point reduction, a move that Chairman Jerome Powell described as a measure to protect a resilient economy. According to LSEG data, traders are giving equal odds for another large rate cut when the Fed meets again in November, and they are forecasting over 190 basis points of cuts by the end of 2025.
Several sectors of the stock market are benefiting from the expectation of lower rates and stable growth. The S&P 500’s industrial and financial sectors, considered among the most sensitive to economic shifts, have gained 10.6% and nearly 10%, respectively, in the third quarter.
Chris Vermeulen explains that even if the Federal Reserve continues to cut rates, as it did during the 2008 financial crisis, it won't necessarily save the stock market. He notes that during times of panic, investors often rush to sell their portfolios, particularly those trading on margin, which forces brokers to execute sales regardless of rate cuts.
This selling pressure, driven by fear and forced liquidations, can overwhelm any potential positive impact from the Fed's rate cuts.

Chinese Yuan Overtake US Dollar: What's Going On?
Fastepo: 10-1-2024
China has escalated its economic rivalry with the United States, this time taking direct aim at the U.S. dollar. In recent months, Chinese financial institutions have significantly increased their short positions against the American currency, betting on its decline.
Estimates suggest that Chinese banks have allocated over $100 billion toward these positions, positioning themselves to profit from any devaluation of the dollar. The strategy revolves around sophisticated financial instruments, particularly foreign exchange swaps, which allow Chinese banks to effectively "short" the dollar.
This maneuver enables these banks to benefit from shifts in currency values. In practice, Chinese institutions swap yuan for dollars at a predetermined rate. Should the dollar depreciate by the contract’s end, the American counterpart owes more yuan, generating gains for the Chinese bank.
These activities have grown substantially, with state-run Chinese banks reportedly building up more than $100 billion in short positions by 2024.
The tactic has been deployed as part of broader efforts to stabilize the yuan without exhausting China's foreign reserves. This currency strategy is driven by the mounting pressure on the yuan, which has been weakened by both the Federal Reserve's hawkish policies and a cooling Chinese economy.
By engaging in these swaps, Chinese banks have been able to secure returns during periods of market volatility, sometimes reaping returns of up to 6% for traders involved in these deals.

RIPPLE ISSUES AN IMPORTANT WARNING FOR ITS UPCOMING STABLECOIN: DETAILS
▪️Ripple cautioned users to beware of fake claims that its stablecoin is live.
▪️The SEC labeled the product as an unregistered asset, adding to its ongoing legal disputes with the company.
XRP Army Beware
Earlier this year, Ripple announced it will launch a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the American dollar. It will be called RLUSD and will be available on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum. According to CEO Brad Garlinghouse, the product could serve as a bridge between the cryptocurrency industry and traditional finance, while numerous analysts believe its eventual launch could positively impact XRP’s price.

RIPPLE ISSUES AN IMPORTANT WARNING FOR ITS UPCOMING STABLECOIN: DETAILS
▪️Ripple cautioned users to beware of fake claims that its stablecoin is live.
▪️The SEC labeled the product as an unregistered asset, adding to its ongoing legal disputes with the company.
XRP Army Beware
Earlier this year, Ripple announced it will launch a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the American dollar. It will be called RLUSD and will be available on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum. According to CEO Brad Garlinghouse, the product could serve as a bridge between the cryptocurrency industry and traditional finance, while numerous analysts believe its eventual launch could positively impact XRP’s price.
Last week, Ripple’s team minted over 800,000 RLUSD on XRPL and Ethereum, representing 99% of the total supply. This caused speculation that the stablecoin is already live.
The company, though, assured it is still in the private beta testing phase. It also cautioned users to beware of dubious individuals who claim the opposite.
Numerous X users thanked Ripple for the heads up. The popular community figure Vet was among those reacting below the post, saying:
“Unfortunately, a necessary PSA. Even accounts with a gold checkmark are impersonating and scamming people. Definitely stay vigilant, and the best thing is to do nothing, don’t click any links, and wait for official sources.”
Controversy With the SEC… Again
Ripple’s plans to introduce a stablecoin caused huge excitement in the cryptocurrency space. However, it was not welcomed by everyone, with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) describing it as a “new unregistered crypto asset.”
This is not the first quarrel between the entities. To the uninitiated ones, the SEC sued Ripple in December 2020, accusing it of conducting an unregistered securities offering by selling XRP tokens. The case passed through numerous developments over the years, reaching an important milestone in August 2024.
Back then, Judge Torres determined that the sales of XRP on secondary markets to retail investors did not constitute securities transactions. Nonetheless, she ordered Ripple to pay $125 million for violating certain securities laws.
The figure represents a massive discount on the $2 billion initially sought by the regulator, causing many to declare the ruling a major Ripple victory. Both parties have until October 7 to appeal, and the SEC seems more likely to do so.
Over the past few weeks, there have been increased rumors about such a potential scenario. American lawyer Fred Rispoli, for example, thinks the chance for an appeal is 60%.

WILL ADA PRICE REACH $0.5 AS CARDANO MIDNIGHT TESTNET GOES LIVE?
The long awaited testnet for Cardano privacy protocol Midnight Network is finally out, potentially setting ADA price for new rally
▪️Cardano Midnight testnet has gone live after months of development
▪️The testnet is only available to developers for now
▪️ADA price, down in downtrend may benefit in the long term
Cardano has entered the spotlight again with the Midnight Protocol testnet, a trend that may bode well for ADA price. Per the latest update, the Midnight protocol announced that its long-awaited testnet is now live for developers.
The Cardano Midnight Testnet – Key Note To Developers
Cardano first introduced the Midnight Protocol as its privacy solution in 2023. Since then, the team has invested time in developing it in readiness for full rollout. As announced, the testnet will test out important features that can guarantee a stable Sandbox environment for the protocol.
With Midnight, developers will have the opportunity to build functional applications. While many alternative protocols exists that can offer this capability, with Midnight, user’s sensitive data are protected. The goals of the testnet are limited and it aims to create a simulation of a full mainnet launch.
To achieve this testnet function, the Cardano protocol said it “has expanded its capabilities and hardened the network’s codebase to reduce the need for regularly scheduled chain resets when upgrading.”
For developers who plans to participate in the testnet can help build applications in the sandbox environment. Beside this, they can help discover data protection capabilities, and influence the network. Ultimately, the overall enhancement will bolster Cardano as a protocol and ADA price in the long run.

UK OPENS APPLICATIONS FOR DIGITAL SECURITIES SANDBOX
In January new legislation came into force in the UK supporting a five year Digital Securities Sandbox (DSS) which temporarily relaxes some legal requirements to explore new technologies including DLT experimentation. Today the Bank of England and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) opened applications for the sandbox.
In traditional markets, trading is conducted on an exchange and settlement via a central securities depository (CSD). DLTs are designed to combine the two functions and the sandbox supports that.
The bank emphasized that the rules in the DSS are flexible, allowing the regulators to make adjustments as they learn more. Financial instruments considered in scope include equities, corporate and government bonds, money market instruments such as commercial paper and certificate of deposits, fund units and emissions allowances. Derivatives and cryptocurrencies are excluded.
The regulators published guidance, a policy statement and an application form.
“The DSS lays the foundation for market participants to realise these benefits (of digital securities) in a safe, regulated environment and importantly, puts the UK in a strong leadership position when it comes to tokenisation,” said Quant CEO Gilbert Verdian.
“With the EU having already launched its DLT pilot regime, it is vital that the UK does not fall behind in this new era of digital finance.”
That said, the DLT Pilot Regime hasn’t exactly gotten off to a flying start. More than 18 months have passed since the legislation came into force and regulators have not yet approved any applications. However, that’s expected to change soon.
Digital Securities Sandbox rule changes
The Bank of England and FCA ran a consultation for the Digital Securities Sandbox, which closed in late May.
The regulators specified activity limits for the sandbox, the topic that attracted the most feedback from the consultation.
The global asset class figures remain unchanged (for the most part). However, the limits for individual firms have become more flexible.
Regarding fund management, in contrast to other asset classes, the regulators will not impose an aggregate limit on fund tokenization activity in the DSS.
Foreign currency assets now in scope
One of the most notable changes is the expansion of scope to include other currencies, such as euros and dollars. The regulators will specify global limits for these currencies, which will be in addition to the sterling limits. However, limits on individual firms will account for all currencies.
Regarding settlement, there isn’t a lot of movement. Stablecoins are still ruled out, with central bank money settlement considered the default. The Bank of England highlighted the availability of the omnibus bank account facility (as used by Fnality) and that it’s working with industry on an RTGS synchronization settlement facility.
It said there was a possibility of wholesale CBDC experiments, but it didn’t make any promises. Settlement in commercial bank money is allowed, although it must be justified.
With long delays for approval under the EU’s DLT Pilot Regime, the regulators outlined expected timeframes. Banks that apply now can potentially be live by February 2025. go-live will probably be November 2025 or later. Other FMIs are somewhere in between.

This is what will give us confidence in our new system. This is what will allow us to make sound decisions that reflect reality as it is supposed to be. No more hanky-panky under the table at our expense. And you should feel very satisfied about that for many reasons.
𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙝: No more reckless speculation or shady under-the-table deals. For the first time in modern history, the banking system is being held accountable. Gone are the days when Wall Street fat cats could manipulate your savings for their own gains.

𝘼 𝙂𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙔𝙤𝙪: The era of government inefficiency, waste, and corruption is coming to a close. No more secret deals or hidden agendas that favor a select few.

𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝘿𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙥𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙊𝙫𝙚𝙧: The financial elites are finally being put in check. No longer will Wall Street have the power to rig markets or siphon wealth from the middle class.

𝙋𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙁𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙄��𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮: The East Coast port strike has opened the door to transparent and equitable supply chains. The days of backroom deals that created shortages and price hikes are over.

This is the foundation of the New Republic, where no one is above the law, and every citizen is protected by the same set of rules. This will give you the confidence to make decisions knowing they are rooted in reality, and that the system will uphold what is fair and right.
Historic things are happening today. And it's not even 11:00 yet. Julian Assange just exposed Mike Pompeo. Naming those names you all want to hear. But I doubt that will be all of course. Because at some point that celebrity that is on that P. Diddy tape will come out and the world will be quite surprised. This is when I think the panic will really set in for the rest of Hollywood.
But of course, we all are just getting our morning started. And I do not want to keep your time here away from everything that will be going on today by making this post longer than what it needs to be. We have some headlines to catch up to right? So go and enjoy your day and I will be back with some updates.

Ariel (@Prolotario1): Hold onto your Iraqi Dinars
10-2-2024
Hold your Iraqi Dinars people.
If they decide to release the rate on their independence day I will not be upset.
If they decide to release the rate on Halloween I will not be upset.
If they decide to release the rate on Thanksgiving I will not be upset.
If they decide to release the rate on Christmas day I will not be upset.
If they decide to release the rate on News Years day I will not be upset.
Why?
Because they told you officially that they only have 5% remaining in their monetary reforms. And they told you they are aiming to finish this before the end of the year.
Relax.

Mnt Goat I am telling you that I know with 1000% certainty we will NOT see the RV until after the Nov 5th voting...In a conversation with my CBI contact on Saturday I was told that if all goes well in the US elections, we can expect to see the preparation gearing to the reinstatement by the start of the project to delete the zeros and the swap out of the larger notes for the smaller denominations. I was told this is now planned to begin shortly after the voting is over and the winners are announced. I was told we might have to wait for the inauguration ceremony to conclude to see the reinstatement occur.

What OPEC And BRICS Just Announced Is About To Send The Entire Energy Market Into A Frenzy
What OPEC And BRICS Just Announced Is About To Send The Entire Energy Market Into A Frenzy

These days, the world is changing fast, especially when it comes to how countries are teaming up over energy. The partnership between BRICS and OPEC+?
Yes, it's shaking things up in a major way. With countries feeling the heat from Western sanctions and scrambling for energy security, this collaboration is becoming a really big deal.

What OPEC And BRICS Just Announced Is About To Send The Entire Energy Market Into A Frenzy
Tech Revolution: 10-2-2024
These days, the world is changing fast, especially when it comes to how countries are teaming up over energy. The partnership between BRICS and OPEC+?
Yes, it's shaking things up in a major way. With countries feeling the heat from Western sanctions and scrambling for energy security, this collaboration is becoming a really big deal.
BRICS and OPEC+ hold a massive chunk of the world’s energy resources. They’re not just playing the game—they’re flipping the script on the global economy.
So, here’s the scoop: Russian President Vladimir Putin recently made waves at the Russian Energy Week forum. He basically said that Russia’s energy sector is ready to hit its targets, despite what he called “illegal” Western sanctions. He pointed out that oil and gas sales make up about a third of Russia’s total state budget.
That’s huge, especially with everything going on in Ukraine. It’s what keeps the Russian economy going. Putin also touched on how teaming up with BRICS helps balance out Western influence. He said, “Russia fulfills its obligations to supply energy resources to the global market,” which shows how Russia is trying to stabilize things through groups like OPEC+ and the Gas Exporting Countries Forum. He made it clear that Russia is sticking close with OPEC+ oil producers, standing strong together against outside pressure
Despite the sanctions, Putin mentioned that 90% of payments for Russian energy exports come from “friendly” countries that haven’t slapped on sanctions. This really shows why a new energy strategy is needed, and he hinted that one could be coming soon to handle this changing landscape better.
Türkiye is really making moves in the BRICS alliance, and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is all in on it. He’s excited about the potential Türkiye could tap into by getting involved with groups like BRICS and ASEAN.
Erdoğan thinks this could shake up the regional landscape and maybe even kick off a new geopolitical structure. He also highlighted Türkiye’s strong connections with countries across Europe, Central Asia, and Africa.
Frustrated with how slowly things are moving in terms of joining the European Union, Türkiye has officially applied to join BRICS. Erdoğan is optimistic that this membership could open up fresh opportunities for economic cooperation and partnerships, especially beyond its usual Western allies.
If Türkiye does get into BRICS, it could really boost the bloc’s influence, thanks to Türkiye’s strategic location and deep historical ties. BRICS just got a major upgrade!
Now with new members like Iran, the UAE, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, the group is packing some serious power on the global energy stage. With these additions, BRICS now controls 42% of the world’s oil and gas reserves and a massive 72% of the world’s rare earth metals.
That’s a serious chunk of the world's critical resources! This kind of control means BRICS isn’t just a big player in energy anymore—it’s now a force to be reckoned with in industries that depend on rare earth metals and coal too.
This dominance gives BRICS the power to influence resource markets and challenge the rules that have been set by traditional Western institutions. The implications of this are huge, as BRICS positions itself as a real alternative to the usual economic heavyweights.
As BRICS continues to grow, it’s shaping up to be a solid alternative to the usual Western institutions like the World Bank and IMF. This group is all about pushing for a different economic model—one that’s focused on fair development and spreading resources more evenly.
And with the BRICS development bank in play, there’s potential for countries to find new financing options that help them sidestep traditional Western financial systems. That could be a total game-changer! You can really see the global power shift as BRICS starts making moves in the resource markets.
With such a huge chunk of the world’s energy resources under its belt, BRICS can score some great deals for its members. There’s even talk about BRICS exploring non-dollar transactions, which could seriously shake up the global economy and challenge the dominance of the U.S. dollar in international trade. If that happens, we’re looking at a major geopolitical shift!

Tues. 1 Oct. 2024 Currency Revaluation …Charlie Ward and Friends on Telegram
Key Currencies: Iraqi Dinar, Vietnamese Dong, and Zimbabwe ZIM
Iraqi Dinar: The Iraqi dinar has been undervalued for too long due to years of turmoil and economic instability. But everything is about to change. With this new treaty in place, the Dinar is set for a major revaluation—bringing newfound prosperity to Iraq and transforming its future.
This revaluation won’t just boost the economy; it will bring foreign investors flocking, pushing Iraq into a new era. The elites tried to suppress Iraq, but they can’t hold it down any longer. The rise is imminent, and those who know are getting ready to prosper.
Vietnamese Dong: Vietnam’s economy has been growing steadily, but the value of the Dong never reflected this progress—because they didn’t want it to. Now, with a revaluation, the Dong is set to be on par with the U.S. dollar, signaling the unstoppable rise of Vietnam’s economic power.
This isn’t just about Vietnam; it’s about a global shift, and the opportunities are endless. Trade, investment, and massive economic growth are on the horizon. Those in the know are already seeing the potential. Are you ready to seize the moment?
Zimbabwe ZIM: Zimbabwe has faced economic collapse, hyperinflation, and hardship—but the ZIM is coming back. The revaluation of the ZIM isn’t just a step forward; it’s a leap towards freedom from the chains the global powers placed on Zimbabwe.
This change will restore faith in Zimbabwe’s economy and pave the way for recovery and growth. The old system fears countries like Zimbabwe rising—but it’s too late to stop what’s coming. The revaluation is about reclaiming power, and those prepared will see rewards beyond belief.

Militia Man If you do the math on it, if you drop the three zeros from the exchange rate of the nominal value of the currency. If the exchange rate is $1 divided by 1310 gets you .0007643 or real close, which is far less than a penny. If you drop the three zeros off the exchange rate you've done a big service. You've created value to that currency because if you drop three zeros from the exchange rate that is .76 ...They can then add the Real Effective Exchange Rate based off the non-oil revenue streams...
Jeff Article: "Iraq presents to the US Treasury date for abandoning the currency auctions" The auctions will end or be abandoned the day the rate changes. The rate will change on a Sunday morning. That's when the currency auctions will end, when the rate changes. This article's saying the currency auctions will end by year end. They're talking to US officials...They're just making a generalized statement, saying by year end...So by the end of December...the currency auctions will end meaning the rate would have to change allowing the auctions to end...

Tishwash: Economist outlines financial options as oil declines...and warns
An economic expert revealed the options available to the Ministry of Finance if oil prices continue to decline.
Salah Nouri told Al Furat News Agency: "The decrease in the selling price of exported oil affects the Ministry of Finance's commitment to financing the (current and investment) budget."
He explained that "the options before the Ministry of Finance are either to proceed with implementing the budget paragraphs, which means increasing domestic borrowing, which in turn affects the liquidity of government banks and the employees' pension fund, which are the lending entities, or to reduce funding for investment projects and some paragraphs of the current budget."

Tishwash: Iraq's 2025 budget: Will the government deliver on its promises amid growing crises?
As the date for discussing the 2025 budget schedules in Iraq approaches, many questions are being raised about the government’s ability to meet its financial obligations amidst the growing crises. The Parliamentary Finance Committee, headed by its member Mohammed Nouri, confirmed that employees’ salaries are fully secured until the end of this year, but can these statements be relied upon in light of the current economic situation?
Despite the committee’s assurance that there is no delay in paying salaries, many question the government’s ability to address the delay in funding provincial allocations and ongoing projects. Development projects in Iraq have become underfunded, hampering efforts to develop infrastructure and improve basic services.
Moreover, reports indicate that the Iraqi government is facing significant challenges in balancing its financial obligations with dealing with economic variables, such as oil prices and inflation. While the Finance Committee hopes to launch project packages in the coming days, the question remains: Will these measures solve the current crises or will they worsen over time?
Responding to citizens’ needs and achieving sustainable development requires a comprehensive plan that goes beyond merely approving annual budgets. At a time when the Iraqi street is demanding improved services and job opportunities, the Finance Committee and the government appear to be in a race against time to ensure the country’s financial stability.
The situation remains as it is: statements confirming commitment, but the facts on the ground indicate otherwise. The government will have to face pressure from the street and increasing demands in the coming period, especially with the approach of elections and growing frustration among citizens. Will the government be able to strike a balance between pledges and reality? The coming days will reveal that. link
