Mnt Goat   I have to start off with...some really good news, actually some WOW! WOW! WOW!  news...we can see the path now and very clearly.  So, finally we get word that Iraq has met all it requirements to join the World Trade Organization (WTO)...This DOES NOT make the RV imminent...all these recent activities and events matter and the RV is a “by product” of all these events not a singular event in itself... The view is now in sight and the writing is on the wall. So much on the wall that I do not believe anything is going to stop it short of a major disaster.

Militia Man  The council of Ministers, who we've been talking about a lot have been in the news with Al Sudani.  He had two COM meetings in one day, which is unheard of...You can see where this is headed ... What they're painting a picture of is Iraq is imminently going into the international world.

Tishwash:  We will not wait for companies, we will act

Baghdad reaches an understanding with the Doha Stock Exchange: Iraqi shares will be able to be traded in Qatar as well

The Iraqi Securities Commission revealed a project with the Qatar Stock Exchange that will allow for the joint establishment of companies, leading to “dual listing” that will allow the listing of Iraqi shares in both the Iraqi and Qatari markets.

The commission member, Wadah Al-Taha, said that it will not wait for major and promising companies to list their shares on the Iraqi Stock Exchange, but will form a committee to encourage those companies. He pointed out that expanding the Iraqi Stock Exchange requires the listing of government sector companies on the stock exchange.

Waddah Al-Taha - Member of the Board of the Securities Commission, in an interview with the media figure, Dhikrayat Muhammad:

Expanding the work of the Iraq Stock Exchange requires restructuring mixed companies, through the government sector relinquishing its shares and listing and offering them for investment, while we work on listing public government companies.

Usually, stock markets around the world represent a mirror of a country’s economy, but in Iraq, the stock market does not reflect the economy, for several reasons, including the weakness of the investment culture, the decline in government support and understanding, in addition to the fact that the importance of listing and initial public offerings is unclear to private sector companies.

We seek to “deepen” the Iraqi Stock Exchange, meaning diversify its sectors participating in the subscription, with the aim of reducing the ceiling of investment risks and creating relative attractiveness for investors. We are currently working on merging our governance draft with the draft of the International Finance Corporation to give a global character to our investment environment and send reassuring messages to foreign investors.

Instead of waiting for promising emerging companies to come to the Iraqi market for listing, we are currently working on forming a specialized committee to move towards such companies and reach an understanding with them in order to list their shares in the market. The criteria for selecting the targeted companies revolve around performance, financial efficiency, company history, sector quality, and management nature.

We have a memorandum of understanding with the Qatari side, and we hope to approve it during the coming period. It has very good content, as it allows us to establish companies jointly, and we aspire to reach the stage of “dual listing” where the Iraqi stock can trade in the Iraqi and Qatari markets, in addition to applying the regulatory standards in effect there.

We apply a high level of “global standard” procedures in terms of combating money laundering. The market is very safe in this regard. Our standards are sometimes harsh and restrictive for investors, but they ensure that there are no illegal financial activities.  link

Tishwash:  Minister of Finance stresses the need to adhere to timetables to achieve economic reforms

 Finance Minister Taif Sami Mohammed stressed, on Thursday, the need to adhere to timetables to achieve economic reforms.

A statement by the ministry, seen by Al-Eqtisad News, stated that "Minister of Finance Taif Sami Mohammed chaired a meeting to follow up on the implementation of the government program related to financial, economic and digital affairs, where she reviewed the latest developments in the plans and procedures adopted by the government to achieve economic and financial reforms and discussed the challenges facing the implementation of the program."

The minister stressed, according to the statement, "the importance of adhering to the specified timetables and achieving the desired goals in enhancing economic stability."

The statement added that "the meeting addressed the most prominent economic and financial indicators, and reviewed the results of the reforms that have been completed so far, in addition to discussing ways to accelerate the pace of reform in vital sectors. Sami stressed the need for cooperation between all parties to achieve sustainable development and improve the standard of living for citizens."

Tishwash:  Very frank” talk from Al-Sudani’s advisor: They will bomb us and we will be strategically patient like Iran

"A new map is coming, whether we like it or not."

Ibrahim al-Sumaidaie, advisor to Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, said that the new regional map in the region “is happening, whether we like it or not,” and therefore it is necessary to invest in Iraq’s role, as it ranks second in the United States’ interests after Israel, warning that “the one who falls will fall, and do not let us fall.”

The advisor pointed out that Tel Aviv launching a strike inside Iraq instead of Iran is possible and is the most likely scenario, especially if it fails to reach an understanding with Tehran. He said that Iraq is an unarmed country and cannot do anything other than political diplomatic options due to the clear Western superiority, “even the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missiles were unable to repel the Kremlin’s missiles.”

He criticized the actions of “some brothers who are gnawing at al-Sudani’s flanks, even though he defends them before the United States and tries to prevent a strike against Iraq.” He called for Iraq to adopt the Turkish method in dealing with the risks of war, as well as the Iranian method “which invented the policy of strategic patience.”

He concluded by saying, “The West sees us as a successful country (..) All the Americans want is for us to be an economic zone not subject to Russian military influence, or Chinese economic influence, without the existence of (sub-state) as this world is ruled by states and not armed groups, and the majority of the political forces supported by the reference are with this trend.”  link

America Is Now On “The Second Half Of The Chess Board”

America Is Now On “The Second Half Of The Chess Board”

Notes From the Field By James Hickman / Simon Black October 10, 2024 

Over fifteen centuries ago, according to an ancient Sanskrit legend, a mythical Hindu priest named Sissa was ordered to invent a new board game to entertain the king of Taligana.

Sissa labored over the task for quite some time, but he eventually brought the King a military strategy game with a 64-square board and beautifully hand-carved pieces. Today we call this game chess. And according to the legend, the King was absolutely enamored with it.

So enamored, in fact, the King offered Sissa any reward he desired. So, the priest asked for a single grain of wheat to be placed on the first square of the chess board. Then two grains on the second square. Four grains on the third. Eight grains on the fourth. And so on.

The King of Taligana thought the request to be humble and cheap. After all, a little bit of wheat was nothing compared to the endless entertainment of this new game. So, he ordered his men to bring in the grain.

But as they continued counting, the numbers began to grow quickly.

One-quarter of the way through the board (sixteen squares), Sissa was owed around 131,000 grains-- roughly four kilograms of wheat. No big deal.

But with every square the amount kept doubling. Halfway through the board Sissa is owed over 8 billion grains-- about a quarter of a million TONS of wheat. And it keeps doubling from there.

By the final square, the amount of grain owed is far more than all the wheat that the world can possibly produce.

This is known in mathematics as exponential growth, i.e. when something grows at a faster and faster rate. Sort of like my kids. Or more ominously, the US national debt.

According to data just released by the federal government, interest on the national debt for Fiscal Year 2024 (which just ended last Monday, September 30) was roughly $1 TRILLION.

That’s just the interest bill.

And while that number itself is simply astonishing, it’s even more important to put it in context. $1 trillion is significantly more than the government spends on virtually EVERY other line item, including the military and Medicare.

In fact, Social Security is the ONLY federal program whose budget exceeds interest on the debt. For now. But within the next 5 years, interest on the debt will surpass even Social Security.

Just going back to FY 2020— which started pre-pandemic on October 1, 2019— the interest bill that year was “only” $345 billion. And in FY21, it only rose to $352 billion. That was just a $7 billion, or 2%, increase. No big deal.

But in FY 2022, it took a more significant jump to $475 billion. Then $660 billion. And now a TRILLION dollars.

So not only is the interest bill increasing, but the rate at which it is increasing… is increasing.

Just like grains of wheat on a chessboard, this is an exponential problem. At first it looks manageable. Even paltry. But around halfway through the chessboard, the problem starts to spiral out of control very quickly.

Technologist and author Ray Kurzweil actually refers to this phenomenon as “the second half of the chess board”, i.e. the part of the exponential growth model where the problem becomes too big to solve.

How did the most powerful nation in the history of the world reach this point?

For starters, a complete lack of discipline when it comes to federal spending. For decades now, the government has spent money as if there were no limit and would never be any consequences to increasing the debt.

This was most noticeable during the pandemic when they (and the media) engineered widespread fear and hysteria, shut down the economy, and then spent trillions of dollars to keep everyone afloat.

The national debt skyrocketed as a result. But at the time, interest rates were practically zero. So, the government’s borrowing costs were pretty negligible. That’s why the annual interest bill barely moved between FY2020 and FY2021.

But as you probably recall, rates soared in 2022. And so did the government’s interest bill.

Each year, in fact, much of the existing national debt matures; money that the Treasury Department borrowed five or ten years ago becomes due and must be paid back.

Naturally, the Treasury Department doesn’t have any money to pay back its lenders. So instead, they issue new debt to repay the old debt.

The problem, of course, is interest rates. The money they borrowed years ago was at 0% or 1%. Today it’s 4%.

Just this past Fiscal Year (2024) the Treasury Department refinanced roughly $5 trillion in debt at significantly higher interest rates… in ADDITION to the $2 trillion in NEW debt that they borrowed.

This means that NEXT YEAR’s interest bill will likely be even HIGHER.

You can see how this problem can quickly become a crisis. Again, five years ago the annual interest expense was $345 billion. Five years from now it could easily be $2 trillion.

Sure, the government’s overall tax revenue is also increasing. A bit. But the interest bill is growing much faster-- at an exponential rate. You can’t have linear growth in your revenue and exponential growth in a major expense and expect to survive.

It appears that the US government has crossed the proverbial Rubicon into the second half of the chessboard. And their options are extremely limited.

On one hand, the government could slash spending, reform entitlement programs (like Social Security, welfare, etc.), and engage in a massive deregulation effort to boost economic productivity. But I’m not holding my breath.

Their other approach will be to increase taxes and print tons of money to keep interest rates artificially low.

This is already starting to happen.

The government released its new inflation data just this morning showing that core inflation is STILL on the rise. Inflation is not beat by a long shot. And yet the Federal Reserve is going full steam ahead in its rate cutting cycle.

Fed officials aren’t stupid. They know that 0% interest rates are the only hope for the US government’s financial survival.

And the chief consequence, of course, will most likely be some pretty nasty inflation.

This is why we keep saying that real assets make so much sense, i.e. crucial materials like metals, energy assets, and productive technology that are (1) useful and critical in the economy, and (2) cannot be created out of thin air by central banks or governments.

Historically, real assets perform extremely well and hold their value during inflationary times.

And the added benefit is that, right now, many of the businesses which produce real assets are at historically cheap levels. We’ll show you a great example tomorrow.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

SEN. HAGERTY'S STABLECOIN REGULATION DRAFT AIMS FOR CLARITY, ECHOES HOUSE BILL FRAMEWORK

▪️The draft closely resembles the Clarity for Stablecoins Act worked on in the House of Representatives by Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., and Maxine Waters, D-Calif.

▪️“It is Senator Hagerty’s version of McHenry-Waters,” spokespeople for Sen. Hagerty said in an emailed statement to The Block.

Crypto-friendly Sen. Bill Hagerty unveiled a discussion draft of legislation to create a regulatory framework for stablecoins that is very similar to work being done in the House of Representatives.

The Tennessee Republican said his draft legislation "provides much-needed clarity" in a statement on Thursday. The draft closely resembles the Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act worked on in the House of Representatives by Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., and Maxine Waters, D-Calif.

“It is Senator Hagerty’s version of McHenry-Waters," spokespeople for Sen. Hagerty said in an emailed statement to The Block. Hagerty also is a member of the Senate Banking Committee, which has jurisdiction over key agencies, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Sen. Hagerty's draft bill takes the structure of the House bill while also splitting federal supervision between the Federal Reserve for banks and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for non-banks, his spokespeople said.

Hagerty's draft bill would include a provision that says issuers that go over a $10 billion threshold may get a waiver from their federal regulator to then stay under their state's jurisdiction. 

The draft legislation also includes language around maintaining reserves on a one-to-one basis with reserves that have U.S currency.

“Stablecoins have the potential not only to enhance transactions and payment systems, but also to help create new demand for U.S. Treasuries as we work to address our unsustainable deficit,” Sen. Hagerty said in the statement. “For too long, these benefits and the broader promise of stablecoins have been hindered by the lack of clear regulations."

Negotiations around passing a stablecoin bill have been complicated over the last few years on Capitol Hill. House Financial Services Chair McHenry and the top Democrat of that committee, Rep. Waters, have been working on their bill to create a regulatory framework for stablecoins since 2022. 

The bill advanced out of the Republican-led committee last year but has not gained much traction. At the time, Waters called the bill "deeply problematic" due to a provision that allows state regulators to approve stablecoin issuances without Federal Reserve input.

However, tables might have turned last month during a congressional hearing when Rep. Waters said she wants to "strike a grand bargain on stablecoins" before the end of the year.

Waters said the bill needs to place the Federal Reserve in a "dominant role" and that stablecoins must be backed by safe reserves, such as short-term Treasury bills.

"I've made a public statement to you about bipartisanship — let's see what you do with it," Waters told McHenry in late September.

Cody Carbone, president at The Digital Chamber said the advocacy group was “encouraged” by the release of the draft legislation.

“While the window for passage in this Congress is limited, Senator Hagerty’s efforts have revitalized the discussion,” Carbone said in a statement to The Block.

“The push for a U.S. stablecoin regulatory framework is bipartisan, and we urge lawmakers to prioritize this important, common-sense legislation through the end of the year.”

Ron Hammond, director of government relations at the Blockchain Association said Sen. Hagerty’s draft was “an important development” especially after comments made by McHenry and Waters to move forward stablecoin legislation before the end of the year.

“While the election results will largely determine what is in the realm of possible for the lame duck, it is likely the Republicans will take back the Senate and this effort from Sen Hagerty could be the starting point for a Republican led Senate Banking Committee in 2025 should stablecoins not get addressed in the lame duck,” Hammond said in a statement to The Block.

Update: Oct. 10 , 10:15  p.m. UTC to include comments from Carbone and Hammond

RIPPLE NEWS: COULD GARY GENSLER’S RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL LEAD TO A DISMISSAL OF THE RIPPLE-SEC LAWSUIT?

The U.S. SEC has filed an appeal in its case against Ripple, after a federal judge ruled that the SEC did not prove Ripple violated securities laws by selling XRP to retail customers.

The SEC’s appeal, submitted to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, argues that the judge’s decision contradicts established Supreme Court precedents and securities laws.

As we look ahead, several factors could influence the ongoing legal battles in the crypto space. With an election approaching, potential changes in leadership could  impact the SEC’s direction. If Donald Trump wins, the current dynamics could shift dramatically.

There’s widespread concern about how ongoing litigation is driving innovation out of the United States. According to James Murphy aka MetaLawMan, this situation could lead to one of two outcomes: either Gary Gensler resigns or is removed from his position, replaced by someone less hostile towards crypto. A new leader might prioritize settling or dismissing cases rather than pursuing aggressive actions against the industry.

James said that the upcoming presidential election’s importance for cryptocurrency regulation. He noted that Kamala Harris recently couldn’t identify any mistakes the Biden Administration made regarding crypto, despite ongoing efforts—dubbed “Operation Choke Point 2.0″—to restrict the industry.

It’s also worth noting that there’s legislation in the works that could clarify jurisdiction over cryptocurrency, suggesting that it might be impractical for judges to decide these matters without clear guidelines from Congress. Given this landscape, there’s a greater than 50% chance that we could see changes that alter the course of these cases.

He added that influential figures like Mark Cuban and Anthony Scaramucci suggest changes might be on the horizon, but he’s doubtful. With the election just weeks away, he pointed out that the administration could easily request Gary Gensler’s resignation, and typically, such requests are complied with. However, he expressed frustration that no actions have been taken yet.

BRAZILIAN AUTHORITIES LAUNCH OPERATION TARGETING ENTITIES FACILITATING CRYPTO MONEY LAUNDERING

The Brazilian Federal Police launched Operation Alcacaria this Wednesday, aiming to thwart the action of a network focused on providing money laundering services using cryptocurrency. The operation involved 62 search warrants, 13 arrest warrants, and the seizure of funds of the involved entities in banks.

**********

Brazilian Authorities Execute Operation Alcacaria Against Crypto Money Laundering Actors
Brazil is strengthening measures against institutions leveraging crypto to complete financial crimes.

Local media reported that the Brazilian Federal Police launched Operation Alcacaria on Wednesday, targeting several financial operators that provided money laundering services to criminal organizations nationwide.

The operation was executed jointly with the Federal Revenue Service. The still unnamed organizations targeted by the police are being investigated for their involvement in money laundering, currency evasion, the operation of an illegal financial institution, and the use of false documents.

In addition, the police are also tracking and investigating exchanges that would also be working with these operators, providing them with digital asset liquidity for money laundering activities. However, no names have been shared publicly.

On this, the Federal Police stated:

These money launderers are allegedly responsible for currency evasion and money laundering for a variety of crimes throughout Brazil, in a practice known as crypto-cable.

The operation was launched simultaneously with a similar initiative called Operation Privilege, which also shared some suspects with this one. 13 preventive arrest warrants and 20 search warrants were issued as part of Privilege, which has a regional anti-crime force at its helm, the Rio Grande do Sul Organized Crime Task Force.

Last month, Brazil also executed Operation Niflheim, a high-level crackdown on three organizations that had laundered almost $10 billion using crypto, sending these funds to countries like the U.S., the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Hong Kong, and China. This makes Alcacaria the last of three actions launched against cryptocurrency-based money laundering crime in Brazil in less than one month.

US Banks Face $500 Billion in Losses as De-Dollarization Grows

US Banks Face $500 Billion in Losses as De-Dollarization Grows

Geopolitical Analyst:  10-9-2024

In the world of global finance, the tides are shifting. While the BRICS alliance — comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — is diligently strengthening its banking framework and advocating for de-dollarization, the United States finds itself wrestling with a series of financial challenges that could have far-reaching implications.

With the recent collapse of 15 banks in just three years, concerns about the stability of the US banking system are becoming increasingly pronounced.

The data coming to light is alarming. In a recent report, finance expert Dr. Rebel Cole from Florida Atlantic University unveiled that US banks are currently grappling with over $500 billion in unrealized losses on investment securities as of the end of Q2 2024. While there was a slight decrease from $516 billion in Q1 to $513 billion in Q2, the overall picture is still concerning for an economy that has long prided itself on resilience and stability.

These unrealized losses represent a significant burden on the balance sheets of American banks, indicating that the financial health of these institutions is under duress. Coupled with the fact that banks in the US have seen numerous failures, the future of the banking sector is increasingly uncertain. This backdrop cannot be overlooked; it hints at deeper systemic issues that could provoke wider financial instability.

Meanwhile, the BRICS bloc is actively pursuing strategies to insulate themselves from the pressures of the US dollar. Central banks within this alliance are accumulating gold reserves at an unprecedented pace. This tactic serves as a hedge against the volatility of the dollar and underscores the BRICS countries’ commitment to reducing their dependency on US currency.

The motivation behind the BRICS nations’ push for de-dollarization isn’t merely economic; it’s fundamentally geopolitical. By fostering financial independence from the US dollar system and increasing their gold reserves, these countries are positioning themselves to withstand the shocks that the US economy currently faces.

Dr. Cole’s analysis sheds light on the troubling nexus between unrealized losses and the exposure of banks to uninsured deposits. As inflation continues to plague the economy and interest rates fluctuate dramatically, the potential for further instability does exist. The recent volatility in the 10-year treasury yield is testament to the unpredictable nature of the current economic landscape. High inflation rates in the US are further eroding confidence in the dollar, prompting many to question the reliability of an economy that has long been considered the bastion of financial stability.

As US banks navigate these complex waters, the combination of significant unrealized losses and a precarious position regarding uninsured deposits could spell disaster. The specter of financial instability looms, casting a shadow over the once-unassailable dominance of the American banking system.

The juxtaposition of BRICS’ resilience and US banks’ challenges signals a notable shift in global finance. While the BRICS alliance actively fortifies its foundations through asset accumulation and strategic partnerships, the US is left to weather the storm of its financial missteps. The growing unease over the stability of the US dollar, alongside the BRICS nations’ efforts to create a diversified and independent financial ecosystem, creates a sense of urgency.

As financial dynamics evolve, it is crucial for policymakers, investors, and consumers alike to remain vigilant. The stabilization of the US banking system is imperative not only for the nation’s economic well-being but also for the global financial order. The decisions made today in response to these challenges will determine how the landscape will look in the coming years.

In conclusion, the rise of the BRICS alliance coupled with the struggles of the US banking system marks a potential turning point in global finance. The projected unrealized losses, coupled with financial instability and the aggressive de-dollarization strategy of BRICS, suggests a transformative period ahead. As we navigate this evolving landscape, the implications will surely resonate throughout the global economy, redefining power and influence in the world of finance. Only time will reveal how these developments will reshape our financial realities.

Clare:  Trade Bank of Iraq announces measures to support exchange rate stability

10/9/2024   Baghdad

The Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI) announced on Wednesday that it has taken a series of measures to support the stability of the exchange rate and prevent exploitation by speculators.

The Director of the Tahrir Branch at the Iraqi Bank, Yarab Al-Hashemi, said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and reviewed by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the bank's management has taken a series of measures that would stabilize the exchange rate and prevent manipulation in the market, including increasing working hours in the bank's branches, which had an impact on the speed of completing merchants' transactions and the smoothness of financial transfers and eliminating the momentum in that."

He added, "There is a series of measures being taken successively that will have a clear impact on controlling the exchange rate, preventing speculators, and limiting the granting of dollars to the beneficiaries exclusively."

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani directed "intensifying inspection procedures in financial transfer operations and not being lenient or lenient in pursuing speculators who exploit the crises that the region is going through; to achieve personal profits and benefits
at the expense of the public interest of the country."  LINK

Good afternoon Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE HITS BACK AT SEC, FILES CROSS-APPEAL

The feud continues: Ripple Labs has announced plans to file a cross-appeal in its ongoing legal case with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

This move by Ripple is meant to preserve its legal defenses as the SEC’s own appeal proceeds through the courts. The SEC filed an appeal on Oct. 2 to counter the July 2023 ruling that concluded XRP cannot be classified as a security.

The SEC’s appeal follows the ruling that determined Ripple’s sale of XRP on exchanges did not violate federal securities laws.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse tweeted that, with the cross-appeal, Ripple is “looking forward to sealing the SEC’s fate and finally putting an end to the SEC’s regulation-by-enforcement agenda.”

The SEC sued Ripple in December 2020, claiming that XRP, Ripple’s cryptocurrency, was sold as an unregistered security. Securities are financial instruments, like stocks or bonds, that must meet strict regulatory requirements before being sold. The key issue in the case is whether XRP qualifies as a security.

Ripple’s cross-appeal ensures it can address all aspects of the case as the legal process continues. According to Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty, the company wants to keep all options open.

This comes despite the SEC’s contentious stance on what constitutes a token as a security — and despite clear details of the SEC’s appeal.

In appeal cases like this, both parties file notices explaining the basis of their arguments, followed by more detailed legal briefs. Ripple’s next step is to submit these briefs as the appeal progresses. Both Ripple and the SEC will be outlining their positions in the coming weeks.

The ongoing battle
As mentioned earlier, Ripple Labs was sued in 2020 by the SEC for conducting an unregistered securities offering by selling XRP. The SEC claimed that XRP was a security under U.S. law and alleged that Ripple and its executives raised $1.3 billion in capital without proper registration.

Ripple argued that XRP does not meet the criteria for a security under the Howey Test.

Throughout the case, Ripple achieved several important milestones, such as a key ruling by Judge Sarah Netburn in March 2021, which distinguished XRP from Bitcoin and Ethereum, acknowledging its utility and currency-like value.

The court also ordered the release of crucial documents, including internal communications from former SEC director William Hinman, whose comments on Ethereum’s status as a non-security influenced the case.

On July 13, 2023, Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP is not a security when sold on exchanges to the public, marking a significant victory for Ripple and the broader crypto industry.

However, the court ruled that Ripple’s XRP sales to institutional investors violated securities law. Ripple’s legal struggles continued, including the SEC’s attempt to appeal this decision, which was denied in October 2023.

Ultimately, Ripple faced a $125 million fine. However, the ruling marked a turning point in the crypto regulatory landscape, setting a precedent for how digital assets are classified in the U.S. moving forward.

SOUTH KOREA ALLOWS DIVISION OF CRYPTO IN DIVORCE SETTLEMENTS

South Korean law allows spouses to claim cryptocurrency and Bitcoin holdings during divorce proceedings, recognizing them as marital assets, law firm says.

Married couples in South Korea can now divide cryptocurrency holdings during divorce proceedings, according to a law firm specializing in the country’s legal system.

South Korean law firm IPG Legal clarified the law regarding cryptocurrencies during divorce cases. Responding to questions from clients, the firm said that under South Korean law, both tangible and intangible assets can be divided during a divorce:

“Under Article 839-2 of the Korean Civil Act, either spouse may request a division of marital assets accumulated during the marriage upon the divorce in Korea.”

The firm pointed to a 2018 ruling by South Korea’s Supreme Court that confirmed cryptocurrency and virtual assets are considered property due to their economic value as intangible assets.

South Korea considers crypto as an intangible asset
As a result, any cryptocurrencies acquired during marriage can be regarded as part of the marital estate. Spouses who are aware of their partner’s crypto exchange wallets can have courts issue a “fact-finding investigation” to ascertain the value of their holdings.

Tracking crypto investments is easier than traditional cash, considering that blockchain technology preserves all transactions and does not allow external factors to modify or delete entries.

Bank withdrawal records and other forensic investigations also allow for the discovery of unknown sources of crypto holdings.

Partners can choose to either cash out the crypto holdings before splitting or share the tokens directly.

Investigators find hidden Bitcoin in New York divorce
The growing use of cryptocurrency in finance has led to more divorce cases involving digital assets worldwide.

During a New York couple’s divorce proceedings, the wife appointed a forensic accountant to uncover her husband’s hidden Bitcoin holdings.

The wife found that her soon-to-be ex-husband failed to declare 12 BTC — worth about $500,000 — stored in an undisclosed crypto wallet.

“It was never even a thought in my mind because it’s not like we were discussing it or making investments together. It was definitely a shock,” she said.

ARGENTINA OVERTAKES BRAZIL IN CRYPTO INFLOWS — CHAINALYSIS

Argentina’s stablecoin market is one of the largest in the world in terms of share of stablecoin transactions, beating the global average by 17%.

Argentina, one of the fastest-growing cryptocurrency markets, has overtaken Brazil as the top Latin American (Latam) country in terms of estimated crypto inflows by users.

Crypto users in Argentina deposited the largest amount of crypto in Latam between July 2023 and June 2024, with inflows totaling $91 billion, Chainalysis reported on Oct. 9.

With an estimated $91 billion in crypto inflows, Argentina has overtaken Brazil in terms of total crypto value received, ranking slightly ahead of Brazil’s estimated $90 billion during the period.

Argentina’s stablecoin activity is 17% higher than the global average
The rapid growth in crypto adoption in Argentina comes amid a decades-long battle with inflation and local currency devaluation, forcing Argentinians to seek alternative ways of saving, including using the US dollar or dollar-pegged stablecoins.

According to Chainalysis, Argentina’s stablecoin market is one of the largest in the world in terms of share of stablecoin transactions. It is also among the leaders in the Latam region.

Argentina’s share of stablecoin transaction volume amounted to 61.8% between July 2023 and June 2024, slightly above Brazil’s share of 59.8%. Argentina’s stablecoin activity is well above the global average of 44.7% but lower than Columbia’s 66%.

The report highlighted that the share of Argentina’s retail-sized stablecoin transactions — those under $10,000 — is growing faster than any other asset type. This trend suggests that Argentinians are relying on stablecoins to protect their finances from inflation and currency instability. The report stated:

“Their interest in stablecoins highlights the role of crypto in unstable markets and how citizens are able to take better control of their financial futures by embracing cryptocurrency, regardless of official monetary policy.”

Tether prioritizes markets like Argentina over developed economies
Argentina’s growing stablecoin activity comes as stablecoin issuer Tether focuses more on emerging markets like Argentina rather than developed economies like the US.

The operator of the world’s largest US dollar-pegged stablecoin, Tether USDT, Tether recognized Argentina’s need for the “digital dollar,” its CEO Paolo Ardoino told Cointelegraph last week.

“That people want to hold that dollar, not in cash, but in a digital form because it’s much more convenient,” Ardoino said.

Argentina has increasingly positioned itself as a crypto-friendly country. In late 2023, Argentina officially allowed using Bitcoin in legally binding contracts after pro-Bitcoin President Javier Milei took office in December 2023.

Despite Argentina becoming one of the most active jurisdictions in cryptocurrency usage, the local government is yet to regulate the growing market.

According to Forbes, Argentina struggled to provide regulated cryptocurrency services to its population as of July despite the government making multiple efforts to introduce regulations.

While developed economies like those in Europe have been pushing stablecoin regulations in recent years, Argentina has yet to introduce a stablecoin framework.

Tishwash:  A qualitative shift and an increase in trading.. Securities announces the launch of a new website for the Iraqi market

Wissam Al-Mulla

The Securities Commission announced today, Thursday, the signing of an agreement with the International Finance Corporation to develop the Iraqi market, and while it indicated the preparation of a guidebook to raise the transparency of companies, it confirmed that the new website of the Iraqi Stock Exchange will cover spot stock prices and is a qualitative leap.

The Chairman of the Securities Commission, Faisal Al-Haimus, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The Commission signed an agreement with the International Finance Corporation in the first quarter of this year to develop the work of the Iraqi Stock Exchange."

He explained that "the Authority has worked on developing the guidance booklet and the government guide for companies, which is expected to be ready by the end of the year, in order to present it to companies and benefit from the guidelines contained therein."

He pointed out that "the booklet aims to increase the level of transparency for companies listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange, which are often late in publishing essential information and accounts, which affects investors."

He stressed that "the Commission has launched the new website of the Iraq Stock Exchange, which will cover spot stock prices, which will allow the investor to read the market movements of any company, and this is a qualitative shift that will result in an increase in trading."  link

Committee member, MP Jamal Kocher, said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA /: "There are several factors behind the rise in the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar, the most important of which are speculators, currency smuggling, lack of control over border crossings, some private bank owners, and some parties / not named / controlling money laundering, and other factors.

Mot: .. Just Saying as You Season!!! 

Mot:  What happens when I sit down for “just a minute” to write my to-do list.

BRICS will use a gold-backed currency

BRICS will use a gold-backed currency

BRICS will most likely go for a gold-backed currency called the UNIT. 

BRICS countries are considering ways to promote local currencies in international trade and financial transactions. The group’s work has picked up speed lately and leaders may decide on their path forward at the BRICS Summit in October.

One BRICS currency alternative being considered, the UNIT, would use a gold-backed digital asset on a blockchain to settle global transactions. 

HOW THE UNIT WORKS

According to reports following the SPIEF and the June foreign ministers meeting, BRICS is considering a blockchain-enabled payment system that uses a digital asset called the UNIT. Based on the UNIT white paper, each UNIT would be backed by a reserve basket with the following characteristics:

Includes 40% gold

60% balance is made up of participating BRICS currencies which are convertible into gold 

No one currency has a greater than 30% weight in gold terms.

A UNIT is created or “minted” at a blockchain-based node when a consumer or investor participant deposits on reserve the corresponding value of gold and participating BRICS currencies. For example, to receive one gold gram equivalent value of a UNIT, a participant would deposit 0.4 grams of gold and 0.6 gold equivalent grams worth of participating currencies (figure 2).

The white paper envisions that UNIT nodes would have a connection to a physical storage hub with adequate transport connections and supporting infrastructure.

The UNIT is not designed to take local currencies’ place in domestic day-to-day transactions. It would work in parallel with established domestic banking and payment systems.

Gold on reserve forever

Gold is the anchor of the ecosystem. The existing gold supply plus annual gold mine production limits the amount of new UNITs created. In addition, as envisioned by the white paper, once gold and local currencies are put into the reserve, they stay there. The one exception to the on-reserve-forever rule is in the case where a node seeks to be bought out. In the case of a buyout, all UNITs returned by the node are canceled and its share of the reserves is returned.

The limited redeemability of the underlying reserves is an important characteristic of the UNIT ecosystem. The on-reserve-forever rule would essentially lead to ounces of gold coming out of central bank reserves, investor portfolios, or the ground and heading straight into permanent storage. This new permanent use case for gold has positive implications for gold miners. Once global investors begin to understand and believe that the UNIT ecosystem will require more gold over time, scarce reserves in the ground should become more valuable.

Re-rating of gold reserves in the ground

Importantly for the mining industry, the on-reserve-forever nature of the UNIT ecosystem would support the demand for gold. The extent of the support will initially depend on the rate of UNIT adoption for use in global commerce. In 2022, the exports of the five original BRICS countries were worth about US$5.3 trillion (China US$ 3.7 trillion).

Based on 2022 trade data and current gold prices, we estimate that for every 1% of market share of BRICS of export trade obtained by the UNIT, just over 250 tonnes of gold along with the equivalent of 385 tonnes of gold in participating BRICS currencies would have to be put on reserve at UNIT nodes.

The actual gold going on reserve at ecosystem nodes would represent almost 5% of the 5,672 tonnes of gold reserves held by the BRICS central banks as of the first quarter of 2024 as reported by the World Gold Council.

Given that most merchandise trade in UNITs would likely be driven by private sector participants, it remains to be seen to what extent central banks would be offering their gold to be used for the minting process. While central banks could conceivably provide some gold initially to help establish the ecosystem, we doubt that they will be running down their reserves as UNIT adoption grows.

As prospective UNIT adoption grows over time, unmined gold reserves would take on added importance considering the critical role gold will play in this new global payment system. Currently, the top three North American gold producers, Newmont (NEM), Agnico Eagle (AEM), and Barrick Gold (GOLD) have just over 7,500 tonnes of gold reserves in the ground as of December 2023. Once mined, those reserves would support the creation of enough UNITs to cover just over 29% of BRICS export trade in 2022. 

​How would a BRICS currency impact the economy?

A potential shift toward a new BRICS currency could have significant implications for the North American economy and investors operating within it. Some of the most affected sectors and industries include:

Oil and gas

Banking and Finance

Commodities

International trade

Technology

Tourism and travel

The foreign exchange market

How can investors prepare for a new BRICS currency?

Adjusting a portfolio in response to emerging BRICS currency trends may be challenging for investors. However, several strategies can be adopted to capitalize on these trends.

Diversify currency exposure by investing in assets denominated in currencies other than the US dollar, such as bonds, mutual funds, or exchange-traded funds (ETFs).  Link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

WHY INDIA IS DELAYING CRYPTO REGULATION—THE SURPRISING REASON BEHIND IT!

India has yet to publish its long-awaited discussion paper on cryptocurrency policy. The country’s focus is elsewhere. For months, there was an expectation that the government would outline its stance by September. However, other pressing issues are now taking priority. So, what’s going on with India’s crypto policy, and why is it taking so long? Let’s explore what’s happening with crypto in India and why it’s not on the top of the list.

Delays, Priorities, and More Delays
According to insiders, India was supposed to release a discussion paper on crypto. This paper was expected to provide a direction for future regulation, especially after consultations with the central bank and markets regulators. However, there is no clear timeline anymore. Why? The country’s officials are dealing with more urgent issues. For now, crypto policy is on the back burner.

Competing Priorities in India
One big reason for the delay is the sheer number of competing priorities the government is handling. India is preparing for the 2024 annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. It’s also dealing with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and the conflict in the Middle East. On top of that, election season is heating up, and the Finance Ministry is busy with budget planning. With so much going on, cryptocurrency regulation is not seen as an urgent matter.

Crypto Not an Immediate Threat
Despite a recent $234 million hack of Indian exchange WazirX, the government doesn’t consider crypto legislation as critical as it was two years ago. While the sector is still unregulated, India has imposed heavy taxes and requires crypto entities to register with the country’s Financial Intelligence Unit to meet global anti-money laundering standards.

What to Expect?
India might eventually release its discussion paper, but no one knows when. For now, the government seems more focused on bigger international and domestic issues. So, if you’re waiting for clear crypto rules in India, it looks like you’ll have to wait a little longer.

THAI SEC PROPOSES REGULATIONS FOR CRYPTO INVESTMENT IN MUTUAL, PRIVATE FUNDS

Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed draft regulations allowing mutual and private funds to invest in cryptos.

The proposed principle, announced Wednesday, is currently seeking public feedback on revisions to mutual funds’ investment criteria in digital assets.

The move comes at a time when interest in cryptocurrency investment is increasing. Thailand, one of the world’s most crypto-friendly nations, ranks 10th globally in terms of adoption.

The regulator noted that the funds will be allowed to invest in crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) listed on the US exchanges. Further, it also allows funds to choose investment tokens, which has attracted the interest of Thai investors.

“The funds will be allowed to invest in investment tokens subject to current investment limits of traditional securities, such as single entity limit, group limit, and concentration limit.”

The announcement read that for institutional investors and ultra-high-net-worth individuals with high-risk tolerance, the funds will be allowed to invest in crypto ETFs with no investment limit.

Thai SEC deputy secretary-general Anek Yooyuen said that investment tokens will have the same investment ratios as transferable securities. This is because they have key risks and features similar to traditional securities, such as debt securities, Bangkok Post reported.

“Relevant criteria will be revised to support the establishment and management of funds investing in digital assets, such as asset custody, digital asset value calculation, information disclosure and appropriate advertising.”

Thailand approved its first crypto ETF in June, issued by One Asset Management (ONEAM). The Thai SEC endorsed ONEAM’s Bitcoin ETF, marking a milestone in the country’s evolving regulatory framework for digital assets.

Thai SEC Mulls Initial Coin Offering, Increase Penalties for Violating Crypto Firms
Additionally, the regulator is also considering allowing authorised initial coin offering portals to use outsourced companies.

“This measure was endorsed by the SEC and a public hearing is needed before it can be implemented,” Yooyuen added.

Besides, the Thai SEC will also allow 10 private companies to explore trials for exchanging cryptos for Thai bhat as a part of digital asset regulatory sandbox project.

Furthermore, crypto firms that violate the SEC rules are considered a severe offence. As a result, the regulator aims to increase penalties for such companies in addition to their licenses being revoked.

Securities firms that send inappropriate trading orders will be fined a maximum of 1 million to 3 million baht. Investors who breach laws by manipulating stocks are subject to civil and criminal penalties, the report noted.

RIPPLE ROLLS OUT CRYPTO STORAGE SERVICES FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

Ripple Custody enhances security and compliance for fintech and banking sectors.

▪️Ripple Custody offers banks crypto storage with advanced security and policy settings.

▪️The service integrates with XRP Ledger to enhance trading and compliance capabilities.

Ripple is rolling out a new suite of crypto storage services designed to help banks and fintech firms securely store and manage crypto assets, according to a new report from CNBC. The initiative is part of Ripple’s strategy to diversify its offerings beyond traditional payment settlement operations.

Discussing the latest development, Aaron Slettehaugh, Senior Vice President of Product at Ripple, said the goal is to support the growing needs of businesses operating in the crypto and fintech sectors.

“With new features, Ripple Custody is expanding its capabilities to better serve high-growth crypto and fintech businesses with secure and scalable digital asset custody,” Slettehaugh said.

According to Ripple, the new features come with a more user-friendly interface for storing and managing digital assets. The services also include advanced operational and policy settings, integration with the XRP Ledger, and enhanced anti-money laundering monitoring to ensure compliance.

Under the Ripple Custody brand, the firm plans to allow clients to tokenize real-world assets using its XRP Ledger.

Ripple Custody operates in several countries and is trusted by several top companies like HSBC, BBVA, Societe Generale, and DBS. Ripple said that its custody division experienced over 250% year-on-year customer growth.

Ripple’s expansion into the custody sector follows its acquisitions of Metaco and Standard Custody & Trust Company, targeting bolstering Ripple’s custody capabilities.

The expansion positions Ripple against established firms in the crypto custody market, which is projected to exceed $16 trillion by 2030. Ripple Custody directly competes with well-established custody solutions by Coinbase, BitGo, and Gemini.

Ripple is gearing up to enter the stablecoin market with its upcoming stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD).  RLUSD is in beta testing, with trials being conducted on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains.

As with its custody move, Ripple faces challenges as it enters a crowded stablecoin market dominated by established players. While there is potential for RLUSD, it will need to differentiate itself from existing offerings to gain traction.

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.

OCTOBER WARNING: This Economic Index Hasn’t Been this LOW Since 1975

Daniela Cambone:  10-9-2024

"We’re in a world of inflation volatility,” says Peter Boockvar, Chief Investment Officer of Bleakley Financial Group. In a discussion with Daniela Cambone, Boockvar explains that the widely accepted two percent inflation target won’t remain steady.

He predicts deceleration through the end of this year, followed by an upward inflection next year. Given this volatility, Boockvar advocates for owning gold as a strong hedge, with silver offering even more potential for percentage gains.

He acknowledges the likelihood of a correction or pullback in precious metals, which he sees as typical in any bull market.

“Any sprinter will run out of gas. A healthier run is a marathon where there could be some slowdown in pace along the way. And even a breather is always a good thing to sort of recharge the batteries."
