Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
INTERVIEW WITH CARDANO’S CHARLES HOSKINSON: FOUNDER DISCUSSES RECENT ETHEREUM REMARKS AND INVOLVEMENT WITH ARGENTINA
▪️Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson has clarified his earlier remark on Ethereum and Vitalik Buterin as he projects Bitcoin to reach between $200k and $300k by next year.
▪️According to him, Argentina’s attraction to several crypto projects stems from the desire to find an alternative to the local currency.
CNF recently reported that Cardano (ADA) co-founder Charles Hoskinson has labeled Ethereum as a “dictator” that solely relies on its co-founder Vitalik Buterin for direction.
In his presentation at the Token2049 event in Singapore, Hoskinson explained that the entire roadmap of Ethereum is within the control of Buterin. In this case, the project would be vague and visionless if the 30-year-old is removed from the bracket.
The Dictatorship Nature of Ethereum
During an interview with news outlet Ámbito, Hoskinson was asked if he is on bad terms with Buterin or if his statement only referred to the direction of Ethereum.
Responding to this, the Cardano co-founder explained that his expression of “dictator” in his previous presentation was just to put a complex discussion or word into a simple phrase.
According to him, his use of that word was just to imply that Buterin runs Ethereum in an authoritarian manner. In other words, holders of Ethereum and Bitcoin have no say in the direction of the protocol. Per his observation, disagreement with Buterin’s decision would likely arise once the governance model becomes unsustainable.
Ethereum could end up like Bitcoin, where innovation stagnates, or it will need to adopt a more inclusive governance model. Although Vitalik has shown resistance to on-chain governance, he seems to be acknowledging that this stance can be problematic. Most modern blockchain projects, like Cardano, are exploring on-chain governance models.
Why Argentina Attracts Several Crypto Big Players
In the interview, Hoskinson pointed out the growing distrust in the local currencies, forcing individuals to seek alternatives to hedge against inflation. According to him, Argentina is embracing crypto and aggressively learning yield farming, metaverse, and GameFi. Per his observation, this trend would continue as long as the local currency faces higher inflation, capital control, and trade barriers.
In addition to that, he explained that Argentina has emerged as a favorable market to test its products like wallet software, identity software, and microfinance platforms.
On top of that, he believes that Argentina is the best place to hire people as the first developers working on Cardano in 2016 were from Buenos Aires.
Difference Between Blockchain and Liberalism
According to Hoskinson, the vision of Argentina’s president Javier Milei, such as the concept of private and sound currencies, aligns with that of the industry. However, liberalism has a challenge of implementation. Meanwhile, blockchain presents itself as a third way that belongs to neither government nor private industry.
Sometimes it behaves like a government entity, and other times, like a private actor. This makes it an ideal solution for issues such as voting systems, national identification, or the functions of a central bank. I believe that as Milei deepens his knowledge in that field, he will recognize three key points:
first, that Blockchain is highly compatible with his philosophy;
second, that Argentina is already a global leader in cryptocurrencies; and
third, that the country has enormous local talent to drive and execute these initiatives.
Concluding the interview with a Bitcoin projection, Hoskinson estimated that the involvement of BlackRock in the asset could push BTC to between $200,000 and $300,000 next year.

VISA SEES THE ‘STABLECOIN SANDWICH’ AS PATH TO STABLECOINS GOING MAINSTREAM
While stablecoins offer cheap and fast cross border payments, their usability drawbacks have prevented them from going mainstream, until now. Visa’s Cuy Sheffield said it’s no longer always obvious to the user when stablecoins are being used for payments.
He referred to the so-called ‘stablecoin sandwich’ where someone makes a conventional payment, and the payment service provider sends stablecoins to the destination. The stablecoin is then converted to the local currency with the last mile sent via the local real time payment system.
“If you used a stablecoin a year ago, it was very explicit,” said Mr Sheffield, during a DC Fintech Week panel. “You knew you were using a stablecoin. You usually had to seek out a crypto wallet, you had to figure out how to manage your private key. We’re starting to see both major fintechs, existing wallets like PayPal and others put frontend interfaces on it that just look like another fiat wallet. And so they use stablecoins on the backend.”
PayPal’s Jose Fernandez da Ponte noted that with cross border payments today, most bank customers don’t know much about correspondent banking or Swift. Stablecoins will evolve in a similar manner.
Mr Sheffield highlighted that for non-crypto users, the concept of making a payment in dollars then having to pay gas fees using the blockchain’s native token doesn’t make sense, and means the user has to get involved in crypto. Some of the new payment apps are starting to abstract away these gas fees.
With a move into mainstream, there’s a need for consumer protection.
Stablecoin risks and consumer protection
Mr Sheffield raised the need for standards to reduce consumer risk. Where tokens don’t comply with the standards, they shouldn’t be allowed to be called stablecoins.
“If you can compare two products that are marketed to consumers as stablecoins, they could be entirely different around: is there a fiat asset behind it? If so, where are those reserves held? What audits or attestations are done?
So I think it’s a really challenging environment for consumers if you’re being offered a stablecoin to have to go under the hood and do due diligence,” said Mr Sheffield.
Anna Yuan, formerly with Solana and now the founder of Perena, believes the crypto world now distinguishes between stablecoins as narrow banking-style tokens, versus asset referenced tokens that peg to a currency with reserves in assets such as crypto, trade finance or something else.
“Those should not be considered for daily average consumer use cases. Those are for the crypto bros,” she said. That would include mutli billion dollar coins such as the DAI and Ethena.
Stablecoin sandwiches and the current regulatory status carry risks. Today, many stablecoin holders are choosing to custody their own stablecoins, particularly in emerging markets. To abstract away blockchain gas costs, most apps take on the role of custodian. The users also don’t know which stablecoins they own and not all stablecoins are equal. Many of these app providers are not licensed.
“That means your assets are no longer yours. And why would you use that when you could use a trusted entity like PayPal to custody your assets,” she said. She’s concerned that bad experiences “could really hurt people’s perceptions of stablecoin sandwiches in the long run.” Ms Yuan also emphasized that it’s important not to do away with self custody for those that want it.
Banks and stablecoins
Meanwhile, Mr Sheffield said Visa spends a lot of time exploring what role banks are going to play. Until now stablecoins were not issued by banks, but a number of large banks are now getting involved. He referred to Societe Generale Forge and its EURCV stablecoin. Plus, Visa recently announced its helping BBVA explore stablecoins.

The Dirty, Four-Letter Word That Keeps the Lights On
The Dirty, Four-Letter Word That Keeps the Lights On
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) October 24, 2024
There’s a really dirty four-letter word that starts with a “C”. No, not that one. This is a word you simply cannot say around Greta Thunberg, otherwise her ears will melt off of her face.
I’m talking about coal. And it’s about to have its moment.
One reason is that global population grows each year, and every one of them needs energy in some way or another—to keep the lights on, to fuel the machines that harvest their food, to power virtually everything that keeps life going.
The Dirty, Four-Letter Word That Keeps the Lights On
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) October 24, 2024
There’s a really dirty four-letter word that starts with a “C”. No, not that one. This is a word you simply cannot say around Greta Thunberg, otherwise her ears will melt off of her face.
I’m talking about coal. And it’s about to have its moment.
One reason is that global population grows each year, and every one of them needs energy in some way or another—to keep the lights on, to fuel the machines that harvest their food, to power virtually everything that keeps life going.
Second, the world population generally becomes wealthier each year. Billions of people in China, India, and Southeast Asia are better off now than they were ten years ago. As economies develop, they consume more food, more goods, more electricity— and all of that requires more energy.
More efficient technology offsets some energy use, like switching from old-school incandescent light bulbs to LEDs.
But the general rule is that as energy becomes cheaper, people tend to use more of it, i.e. the world always finds a way to use that energy savings somewhere else.
Plus there are some technologies (AI, crypto mining) which, in aggregate, consume a ton of energy.
So overall global energy demand keeps rising.
Energy supply, on the other hand, is REALLY hard to come by. Exploring for oil, drilling, constructing power plants, building hydroelectric dams, wind turbines, etc. is capital-intensive, labor-intensive, resource-intensive, and very time-consuming.
Meanwhile, many sources of energy supply are dwindling.
Some major shale fields in the US, which were once the biggest source of growth in energy supply, have peaked.
But perhaps an even more significant obstacle to supply is how the government and hyperventilating, pearl-clutching leftists do everything they can to reduce supply.
These people who stop traffic, throw glitter bombs on priceless works of art, and deface public property, in their efforts to “Just Stop Oil” want to turn the clock back to 1750 on human civilization.
Plus there are fanatics with real political power— like California Governor Gavin Newsom— who insist on replacing conventional electrical plants with extremely inefficient wind and solar.
I like clean air and water as much as anyone, but wind and solar aren’t anywhere near as environmentally friendly as people claim. They require tons of dirty minerals and chemicals, and barely produce enough energy yield to offset the inputs.
This is why big technology companies (who are looking to power their massive AI electricity needs) are going all-in on nuclear power.
Nuclear is absolutely the power of the future. It’s clean. It’s safe. It’s absurdly efficient.
By comparison, a single kilogram of Uranium can produce as much electricity as an entire square kilometer of solar panels. The difference in energy yield is not even close.
Tech companies understand this... hence why Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. are investing billions in nuclear energy as the ultimate solution to power their electricity-hungry AI data centers.
But it takes time to build nuclear power plants. And the most advanced “small scale” nuclear reactors are still in development.
In the meantime, tech companies still need power. The world still needs power. Lots of it. And more every year.
We’ve already talked about how natural gas (especially US natural gas) is THE cheapest energy source on earth right now. In fact, at its current price of roughly $2.40, US natural gas is priced at the energy-equivalent of oil selling for $15 per barrel. That’s cheap.
But there’s another cheap, abundant energy source that is going to be extremely relevant in powering the world’s energy needs for the foreseeable future: coal.
Yes, it’s a very, very dirty word. Climate fanatics don’t want to hear it. But until the world builds sufficient nuclear energy infrastructure, there’s still a critical need for conventional fossil fuels. And that includes coal.
Like it or not, coal is still vital to energy infrastructure, accounting for more than a third of global electricity production. In fact, global coal consumption has consistently INCREASED over the past few decades despite the environmental backlash against it.
Coal is still an extremely efficient source of energy, compared to wind and solar. On an energy return basis, it’s about 6x more efficient than wind and solar— i.e. less energy input required per unit of output.
And if you think coal is dirty, then you should check out how environmentally damaging cobalt mines are (a key ingredient in solar batteries). Not to mention, most cobalt mines in Africa are teeming with child labor.
Coal power plants have the added benefit of being very quick any easy to build. That’s why China— in addition to investing heavily in nuclear power— is also still buying a lot of coal.
It’s also worth pointing out that coal is an essential ingredient in iron and steel production. So even though the leftists hate it, coal will likely remain a key resource in human civilization for the next few decades.
However, from an investment perspective, hardly anyone wants to touch coal. Investment funds are afraid of government blow-back and the wrath of the left... so they don’t invest in coal.
And for individual investors, coal is uncool and unpopular. Thanks Greta.
As a result, there are some coal companies out there making money hand over fist. They have a bright future with plenty of demand down the road. Yet their valuations are a total joke.

He added, "The House of Representatives will extend its legislative session for a month, and thus the legislative holiday will be only one month to complete some important laws. A letter was sent to the House Presidency to include some laws on the agenda during the coming weeks."
Al-Maliki said, "Among the laws that we demand to be included on the agenda are the laws (the right to obtain information, and the regulation of the right to demonstrate and peaceful assembly), as well as reading the proposals of some laws for a first and second reading, such as (the proposed law of human rights activists, and the law of the House of Representatives, its formations and amendments) link
Tishwash: Al-Araji: Iraq today is free of terrorism
Today, Wednesday, October 23, 2024, the National Security Advisor, Qasim Al-Araji, announced that Iraq is "free of terrorism."
Today, the National Security Advisory held a conference to evaluate and update the Iraqi strategy for combating terrorism for the years (2012-2025), in coordination with the Counter-Terrorism Service and in cooperation with the European Union Mission in Iraq.
Al-Araji opened the conference with a speech in which he stressed that “Iraq today is free of terrorism and we are working to sustain security and ensure its success. We must work according to the principle of citizenship, far from nationalism and sectarianism, because Iraq unites everyone and we must abandon the feeling of marginalization and work according to the law and not escape punishment. The citizen must trust the state and its judicial institutions.”
He also pointed out that "there are no first-class or second-class Iraqis, etc., as all Iraqis are equal, and the government is strong and state institutions are strong and work to strengthen societal cohesion."
Al-Araji said, "The government is working on the largest social integration process for those who came from Al-Hol camp, where they were subjected to psychological rehabilitation in Al-Jadaa camp under the supervision of the Ministry of Migration and Displacement and all other agencies. More than 2,000 families have been returned to their original areas so far, and what remains are 600 families undergoing rehabilitation, in preparation for their return and giving them a chance at life again."
He also stressed "the importance of monitoring social media sites that spread division and poison among Iraqis and not allowing any party or entity to divide Iraqi society, as security was achieved by the pure blood of Iraqis and must be preserved." link
***************
Tishwash: Calls to accelerate 2025 budget and boost non-oil revenues
A number of representatives called on the government to expedite the submission of the 2025 budget, warning of the delay that could affect the implementation of development projects and economic reform programs.
They stressed the importance of enhancing non-oil revenues, calling for the adoption of financial and economic policies that contribute to diversifying sources of income and improving resource management.
The representatives stressed the need to develop clear plans for investment in the oil sector, with the aim of increasing productivity and achieving additional revenues to support the budget, in light of the ongoing fluctuations in global oil prices and the economic pressures facing the country.
This comes amidst an emphasis on the need to boost non-oil revenues and ensure the achievement of financial targets to avoid any economic imbalances.
The head of the parliamentary finance committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, said: “We expect the 2025 budget to reach the House of Representatives early next year,” indicating that “the government has begun meetings to restructure the budget items.”
For his part, member of the finance committee, Mustafa Al-Karaawi, stated that “the current year’s budget stipulated the need to provide parliament with the financial schedule before the end of the fiscal year, and any delay in this will cause a delay in the start of implementing the budget and its schedules,” noting that “the non-oil revenues targeted in the budget are estimated at 27 trillion dinars, while what has been achieved so far does not exceed 8 trillion dinars only.”
Al-Karaawi added that “the Ministry of Finance indicated the possibility of collecting 3 trillion dinars per month during the coming period, and that the finance committee called on the government to boost non-oil revenues and ensure the achievement of financial targets to avoid any economic imbalances.”
The MP stressed that "the committee closely monitors the distribution of budget funds to ensure their effective use in serving citizens and strengthening the national economy," noting that "it discusses from time to time ways to increase government revenues by developing the tax and customs system."
The MP noted that "there is a government plan that relies on automating and modernizing the work systems in these institutions, and it is expected to be completed by the end of this year, which will contribute to enhancing revenues and ensuring better efficiency in collecting them."
The head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, discussed with the delegation of the Adam Smith International Foundation a set of laws related to developing the financial and banking system.
The two sides discussed important draft laws, including the Securities and Commodities Law, the Banking Studies Center Law, and the Islamic Sukuk Investment Law, with the necessary amendments.
Al-Atwani also reviewed before the delegation the most important challenges facing the financial system in Iraq, as well as the steps and priorities of the Finance Committee within the framework of finding a correct philosophy and rational management of public money and the economy by diversifying sources of income and not relying excessively on oil to feed the state budget.
He stressed that "the Parliamentary Finance Committee, as part of its ongoing efforts and continuous efforts to maximize non-oil revenues, is currently working on amending the law of the General Authority for Monitoring the Allocation of Federal Revenues." link

TOKENIZATION: BIS INNOVATION HEAD SAYS PRIVATE SECTOR NEEDS TO EMBRACE CHANGE
The BIS Innovation Hub lead, Cecilia Skingsley spoke about the need for the current financial industry to embrace change. It’s one thing if there’s a department exploring the possibilities of tokenization, but if the C-suite is happy with the way things currently work because they’re making money, that inhibits progress.
“Because the financial infrastructures of today, they are not going to be fit for tomorrow,” she said, talking during the Institute of International Finance (IIF) annual meeting.

TOKENIZATION: BIS INNOVATION HEAD SAYS PRIVATE SECTOR NEEDS TO EMBRACE CHANGE
The BIS Innovation Hub lead, Cecilia Skingsley spoke about the need for the current financial industry to embrace change. It’s one thing if there’s a department exploring the possibilities of tokenization, but if the C-suite is happy with the way things currently work because they’re making money, that inhibits progress.
“Because the financial infrastructures of today, they are not going to be fit for tomorrow,” she said, talking during the Institute of International Finance (IIF) annual meeting.
She believes there are two key requirements for tokenization to work at a global scale. One is digital identity and the other is around regulation. Different jurisdictions are creating their own rules, but there’s a need for mutual regulatory recognition, which will take time. Otherwise tokenization might just take off in certain regions, without the potential global benefit.
While some are disappointed with the slow speed of progress of tokenization, Ms Skingsley said she would have been surprised if it had moved faster. The financial sector needs to be humble.
“The last time the financial industry got really excited about new technology, it was during the securitization era,” she said, noting its contribution to the Global Financial Crisis. Hence, it’s good to be deliberate.
Talking about today’s Financial Stability Board (FSB) report on tokenization, she noted that the FSB’s job is to highlight risks. While everyone wants safety, the public sector wants “safe, safe, safe”, whereas the private sector wants flexibility.
She also shed light on the tradeoffs that central banks consider.
In order to encourage inclusion and competition, the public sector tends to embrace low barriers to entry. That’s until that triggers financial stability risks, at which point the questions is whether they want many participants or a few, and it’s easier to supervise a few.
Another trade off relates to liquidity. On the one hand, fragmented liquidity is not good for efficient markets. But at the other extreme, the public sector doesn’t want to see dependence on one particular marketplace.
In terms of solving liquidity issues, Ms Skingsley doesn’t currently see tokenization as addressing it, although that could change. Most market observers describe the current tokenization sector as fragmented. However, it could swing from one extreme to the other.
Ms Skingsley also noted that a few central banks are adapting their real time gross settlement (RTGS) to accommodate DLT-based financial market infrastructures (FMIs). The Bank of England is one of them.
“An increasing number of central banks are wanting to allow for a DLT-based FMI. And then you will see the beginnings of bridges from the current to what could be future tech.”

BRICS CURRENCY OFFICIALLY UNVEILED
A mock-up of the upcoming BRICS currency has finally been unveiled at the alliance’s ongoing summit in Kazan, Russia. Indeed, Russian president Vladimir Putin was seen with a mock-up up “BRICS bill” at the summit, the first time the new currency has been put on display.
The BRICS bill in question features the five BRICS nations’ flags (Brazil; Russia; India; China; and South Africa) connected together to form a circle. The displayed currency appeared to be a note with a value of 100. On the flip side of the note appears to be multiple additonal flags, likely of new interested countries that may join BRICS. These include Mexico; Egypt, Nigeria, and Bahrain.
The BRICS bloc has yet to formally announce the launch of the new BRICS currency, however, it has been at the front and center of conversations within the bloc for years. Earlier today, Chinese President Xi Jinping made a historical announcement regarding the bloc’s new payment system.
Speaking to those in attendance, the president discussed why the system is so important to groups that continued seeking a multipolar world. “There is an urgent need to reform the international financial architecture,” Jinping said. “BRICS must play a leading role in promoting a new system that better reflects the profound changes in the international economic balance of power,” he added.
BRICS Currency Launch To Be Revealed Soon?
The blockchain-based BRICS pay system has always been viewed as a key de-dollarization development. For the bloc, it presents a chance to circumvent Western financial infrastructure like the SWIFT payment platform. Therefore, presents a key opportunity for nations within the group to promote the use of their currencies for trade.
The BRICS bloc has enjoyed unprecedented growth over the last two years. It has sought to increase its presence on a global scale and disrupt the West’s dominant run. Throughout the last year, it has increased its de-dollarization efforts to lessen overall reliance on the US dollar. The new BRICS currency will be the next key step in establishing a world where USD isn’t the supreme leader.
The BRICS currency is expected to be backed by gold, the precious metal currently establishing new highs in value. According to reports, the new currency will consist of a backing of 40% gold and 60% tied to local currencies. The regional currencies could involve the Chinese yuan, Russian ruble, and Indian rupee, among other member’s legal tenders.

U.S. Debt Hits Crisis Point: Can BRICS Shift Power Away from the U.S. Dollar? - Adam Button
Kitco News: 10-24-2024
Jeremy Szafron, Anchor at Kitco News, interviews Adam Button, Managing Editor at ForexLive, to explore critical developments in global markets, including the rising influence of BRICS, the U.S. dollar's strength, and surging global debt.
Button breaks down the implications of the BRICS nations' push for alternatives to the U.S. dollar, potentially reshaping the currency landscape with a gold-backed system.
The conversation also touches on the Federal Reserve's response to growing inflation and debt, as well as the recent interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada, with Button sharing insights into how these dynamics could influence the U.S. dollar's future.

The clock is ticking for wealthy families who want to take advantage of a major tax break that allows for the tax-free transfer of up to $27.22 million in assets.
The tax break was established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was signed into law in 2017, and it is sunsetting automatically in 2025 — so it could disappear for the foreseeable future.
Here's what the tax break is, along with some details on how families are rushing to take advantage of it and some advice on whether you should do the same.

The tax break was established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was signed into law in 2017, and it is sunsetting automatically in 2025 — so it could disappear for the foreseeable future.
Here's what the tax break is, along with some details on how families are rushing to take advantage of it and some advice on whether you should do the same.
Tax breaks on wealth transfers could be cut in half next year
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act made many changes to the tax rules, but one of the biggest modifications involved a significant increase to the estate and gift tax exemption.
In 2017, wealthy individuals could transfer a total of $5,490,000 in assets without incurring estate or gift taxes. This is called the lifetime exemption and it applies to gifts you make above the annual exempt amount, as well as to assets that you transfer upon your death.
The new law significantly increased the amount you could transfer. The limit jumped up to $11,180,000 in 2018 and has been adjusted upward automatically each year.
In 2024, it's possible to transfer as much as $13,610,000 without owing taxes. This is per person doing the transferring. Married couples can combine their exemptions to transfer $27.22 million.
That big increase will go away next year unless lawmakers act again. When it goes away, the amount you can transfer tax-free will fall to somewhere in the $6 million to $7 million range. Assets above that threshold will be subject to a 40% transfer tax.
As a result of this change, many wealthy families are eagerly transferring assets this year while they can still take advantage of the larger exemption to move money to children and other loved ones without owing the IRS a cut.
Should you follow the lead of wealthy families?
While the change to the estate and gift tax exemption could profoundly impact wealthy Americans, it is likely to have no consequences at all for the vast majority of people.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
WHY IOTA’S SUPPLY INCREASE ISN’T A THREAT: INFLATION AND ECOSYSTEM GROWTH KEY
▪️Since IOTA increased the token supply last year to 4.6 billion—up from an initial 2.79 billion—there have been concerns that this has suppressed its price.
▪️However, one ecosystem member says the increase was in line with the broader inflation, other major tokens experienced similar figures, and it’s the ecosystem growth that ultimately matters.
Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
WHY IOTA’S SUPPLY INCREASE ISN’T A THREAT: INFLATION AND ECOSYSTEM GROWTH KEY
▪️Since IOTA increased the token supply last year to 4.6 billion—up from an initial 2.79 billion—there have been concerns that this has suppressed its price.
▪️However, one ecosystem member says the increase was in line with the broader inflation, other major tokens experienced similar figures, and it’s the ecosystem growth that ultimately matters.
In September last year, IOTA made a massive announcement, revealing that it would increase the supply of IOTA tokens from 2.79 billion to 4.6 billion. Since then, some analysts have claimed that the new tokens have been the key factor suppressing the price of the token.
However, one community member argues that what the ecosystem builds on the network is more important than the token inflation.
In its September 2023 announcement, IOTA revealed that it would release new tokens every two weeks for the next four years, presumably up to the end of 2027.
Of the new 1.82 billion tokens, the ecosystem fund, which includes the IOTA Foundation and the Tangle Ecosystem Association, would receive 31%, the highest share. The funds would go towards supporting developers to build on IOTA. Contributors received 5%, while Assembly stakers got 3.5%.
Did IOTA’s Supply Increase Suppress the Price?
Since the announcement, debate has been heated over the effect it has had on the price. IOTA’s price has dipped 22% since September last year. However, in that time, it has surged to a yearly high of $0.4146 in March this year, which sent its market cap to $1.32 billion.
He states that today, the token supply has only increased by 24.5% (currently stands at 3.48 billion).
This may seem like a lot, but when we consider USD inflation (which has grown by 29% over the same period), things start to look very different…The takeaway? The supply increase has not hurt IOTA’s value as much as you might think.
The member further notes that IOTA has been getting a bad rep like it was the only token whose supply had increased since it hit its all-time high back in 2017. In that time, BTC supply has grown 18%, while Ethereum’s is up 25%. Cardano has increased by a much bigger rate than IOTA at 35%. However, all these projects haven’t been attacked and accused of suppressing the price.
He adds:
The increase in supply is common for most crypto projects, and it’s a natural part of blockchain ecosystems, especially those with staking rewards or inflationary mechanisms.
Token inflation isn’t the most important factor for a crypto project, the member added. Rather, it’s more about “expanding the ecosystem (IOTA 2.0, SCL1, Shimmer), which brings value far beyond supply metrics.”
Remember: Market dynamics, adoption, and technological advancements will ultimately drive long-term value. The supply increase is a part of this evolution, not a hindrance.
IOTA trades at $0.1169, dipping 1.7% in the past day to bring its weekly losses to 5.3%.

WILL REGULATORS ALLOW TOKENIZED COLLATERAL FOR DERIVATIVES IN THE EU AND US?
During the SIBOS banking event yesterday, David Durouchoux from Société Générale (SocGen) FORGE explained that combining tokenization and derivatives is crucial to encourage the sector to grow.
However, derivatives are not part of the EU DLT Pilot Regime, which relaxes certain laws for DLT and tokenization.
Derivatives traders have to provide collateral as margin when prices move against them. However, traditionally the transfer of collateral is slow because it takes time to settle.
This results in added risks. It also means when traders want to withdraw collateral, it takes time. Hence, the desire to explore alternatives such as tokenization.
Meanwhile, Stateside there are moves afoot to get the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to support DLT-based collateral used for margin. We spoke to the CEO of Hashnote, a traditional finance (TradFi) affiliated firm that has launched a tokenized money market fund, USYC.
He sees the crypto world as a stepping stone to getting tokenized money market funds (MMFs) accepted as collateral in TradFi.
SocGen FORGE: digital bonds as collateral for derivatives
As context, SocGen FORGE provided the infrastructure for the issuance of the very first European Investment Bank (EIB) digital bond of €100m that was issued on the Ethereum blockchain in early 2021.
Mr Durouchoux said that a key requirement is to develop liquidity for digital bonds first. While DLT is already used for repo, it is usually based on the tokenization of existing government bonds.
The next step is to use digitally native bonds for repo. This is already happening in some jurisdictions, such as Switzerland.
“If we have that, then we can build up on that a derivative market, which is efficient. We have trading rooms, we are sell side and we know how to do it,” he said, adding that there have been discussions with the European Commission about reforming the DLT Pilot Regime law to support derivatives.
There are two types of derivative opportunities. ,One is tokenized derivatives and the other is the use of tokenized collateral for derivative margin calls.
The latter is the one more widely discussed and experimented with because tokenization enables collateral mobility. Rather than collateral being stuck with a single custodian and taking two days to settle, tokenization enables collateral to transfer almost instantly.
Tokenized collateral takes shape
Several solutions are already available. Europe’s HQLAᵡ is the traditional finance platform for mobilizing collateral. JP Morgan has its Tokenized Collateral Network and Broadridge’s repo solution DLR can also be used for collateral mobility. State Street says it’s working on a tokenized money market fund for use as collateral.
Some of this has been triggered by the interest in tokenized money market funds in the crypto world. Franklin Templeton was the first traditional finance (TradFi) firm to launch a tokenized money market fund on a public blockchain, with BlackRock launching BUIDL this year.
Hashnote’s tokenized MMF used as collateral for derivatives
In fourth place in crypto money market funds (MMF) is another TradFi affiliated firm, Hashnote, which is associated with high frequency trading firm DRW and its crypto offshoot, Cumberland.
Hashnote’s USYC fund, with $375 million in assets under management, isn’t a typical MMF in that its cash is in a bank during the day and earns yield on overnight repo.
It is the first tokenized money market fund to be accepted as collateral by crypto derivatives firm Deribit. Cumberland is one of the TradFi-linked firms that are using it as collateral. Hashnote’s CEO Leo Mizuhara told Ledger Insights that it sees crypto as a stepping stone to getting USYC accepted in the TradFi sector.
“My long game for the collateral product at least (is) that we want to be in the CME, in Eurex and LCH,” he said, calculating the collateral between them at around $90 billion, a figure substantially larger than crypto sector collateral. Short term he hopes to roll out the offering with crypto exchanges Binance, ByBit and OKX.
There are sufficient traditional finance firms active in the crypto world that they can lobby to include tokenized collateral.
“You get adoption in the crypto world, and you get the TradFi firms to tell the CFTC, ‘hey we trust this product, it’s working’,” said Mizuhara. “That’s how you get into the TradFi world and become dependable”.
In fact, the CFTC’s advisory group is already recommending that DLT-based collateral be allowed.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported that BlackRock has similar plans with its BUIDL MMF. BUIDL is already accepted as collateral at prime brokers FalconX and Hidden Road and it is eyeing Deribit, Binance and OKX as well.
Tokenized design matters
Hashnote’s Mizuhara pointed out that its USYC fund has a key advantage, because interest accumulates within the token. By contrast, BlackRock airdrops interest as new tokens to BUIDL holders once a month.
That’s fine for individual holders, but it’s a challenge if an intermediary has to ensure these airdropped tokens are distributed to clients. It’s an extra process that has to be programmed.
And the whole point of tokenized collateral is to reduce friction and enhance efficiencies.

Dr. Judy Shelton: Why Shouldn't the Dollar be as Good as Gold?
Palisades Gold Radio: 10-23-2024
Tom welcomes a well known and interesting guest for the first time to the show, Dr. Judy Shelton.
Judy is Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and author of Good as Gold, passionately advocates for sound money as a moral obligation of governments to their citizens.
Sound money, according to Shelton, should maintain its value over time, acting as an unchanging standard for economic planning and transactions.
She criticizes the Federal Reserve's policy of debasing the U.S. dollar through inflation targeting, which undermines its purchasing power and creates inequality in society.
The Federal Reserve was initially established to provide an elastic currency that addressed seasonal economic fluctuations. However, the role of the Fed has shifted significantly over time, leading to concerns about its growing dependence on the government for budgeting needs and potential consequences for the economy and small businesses.
Shelton argues for market-determined interest rates, pointing to historical examples like the gold standard.
She also highlights the importance of accurate data in monetary policy decision-making and critiques central banks' conflicting policies on a global scale that can lead to currency wars and instability in international trade.
Shelton advocates for a new international monetary system anchored by a gold convertible long-term US Treasury bond, which would promote stability and accountability in international transactions.
She recalls her unsuccessful nomination to the Federal Reserve and expresses her belief that economic growth under President Trump's agenda and Elon Musk's involvement could lead to controlling the budget and promoting sound money.
Shelton urges for less central planning by governments, believing there is a collective yearning for trustworthy, stable money in society.
The interview concludes with Dr. Judy Shelton expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to discuss her ideas and the success of her book "Good as Gold" on Amazon's charts. She encourages listeners to get radical and demand sound money from their governments for a more prosperous economy based on individual liberty.

BRICS NEWS: IRANIAN AMBASSADOR URGES BRICS TO DEVELOP A BANKING SYSTEM FREE FROM WESTERN STANDARDS
▪️At BRICS, the Iranian Ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali, criticized existing Western financial standards for disproportionately benefiting Western nations while harming developing countries.
▪️As the BRICS nations convene in Kazan from October 22 to 24, discussions will focus on enhancing cooperation and financial independence.
Ahead of the 16th BRICS Summit, Iranian Ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali, has called on BRICS member nations to build a financial and banking system free from Western influence.
Speaking on October 22 in Dubai, Jalali highlighted the need for the BRICS bloc to create its own systems and regulations. He believes this will offer fairer opportunities for countries in the Global South.
Iranian Ambassador On BRICS Payment
Jalali emphasized that the existing Western financial standards disproportionately benefit Western nations while causing harm to developing countries. According to the ambassador, these standards are tailored to Western needs and have historically imposed unfair rules on other regions.
“We should not align ourselves with Western financial systems, as they cause significant damage to Global South nations,” Jalali stated, as reported by the Irna news agency.
The ambassador urged BRICS countries to explore alternative financial mechanisms. He specifically mentioned focusing on banking cooperation and a new financial messaging system that could operate independently of Western models.
Moreover, the Iranian ambassador criticized current Western frameworks. He spotlighted areas of criticism such as financial regulations and counterterrorism measures, which he described as being built on biased standards. “The West has established rules in these areas based on its own interests, rather than considering the needs of other nations,” Jalali remarked.
The call for reform comes at a crucial time, as BRICS nations gather in Kazan, Russia, from October 22 to 24 for their annual summit, reported CNF. With Russia holding the BRICS chairmanship for 2024, the summit will feature discussions to boost cooperation among member countries. Jalali’s remarks appear to be in line with underlined goals for the summit where financial independence and collaboration are key themes.
Will They Be Successful In Implementing Fair Standards?
Jalali also pointed out that BRICS has the potential to redefine global financial practices. He stressed that the group could implement fair standards that reflect the needs of both BRICS nations and other developing countries. “BRICS member states may create fair standards in this area for themselves and other countries interested in cooperation,” he noted.
BRICS, originally formed in 2006 by Brazil, Russia, India, and China, welcomed South Africa in 2011. The bloc has continued to grow, with Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE officially joining as full members on January 1, 2024.
With growing calls for financial independence, the 16th BRICS Summit serves as a key platform for discussions on breaking away from Western-dominated systems.
Moreover, the BRICS Pay system is reportedly mimicking Europe’s SWIFT, which makes it very efficient. Also, the bloc is using blockchain technology in its de-dollarization efforts, per the CNF report.
