BREAKING NEWS: PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP THREATENS 100% TARIFF ON BRICS COUNTRIES IF THEY UNDERCUT THE US DOLLAR.
Here we go…
The financial storm has arrived. Nobody is laughing now.
Forcing nations into a corner may seem like power—until you realize the corner holds the world’s wealth in minerals. When those nations decide to act, what do you think will happen? All roads lead to gold.
Bullying does not work. Eventually that quiet kid in the back stands up and fights back. Typically, wins.
For years, people scoffed at me for highlighting BRICS and their push for true sovereignty.
Fast forward: the U.S. is now threatening 100% tariffs on BRICS nations daring to move away from the dollar.
A “free market” you say? The world needs gold now more than ever. Reset.
It is easier to defend a system already in existence than to accept the one coming. That is where we are today in the international monetary system. Embrace it or get left behind. Leaders better get smart right now.
If the U.S. wants a commitment from BRICS nations, it should issue long-term, gold-backed Treasury securities redeemable at maturity. Start there. Who else agrees?

Audit the Federal Reserve.
BRICS includes major U.S. trading partners like India and China. The United States threatened to put 100% tariffs on both countries if they circumvent the dollar. Both countries have been focused more on local currencies for trade in recent years. They both are stockpiling gold.
• U.S. and China Trade: Totaled approximately $758.4 billion in goods and services.
• U.S. and India Trade: Totaled approximately $191.8 billion in goods and services.
Back in 2016, President-Elect Donald Trump said: “Bringing back the gold standard would be very hard to do, but boy, would it be wonderful.” You are reading this right.

Today marks a historic shift. The United States, drowning in $36 trillion of debt and a nearly 7% GDP deficit, threatens nations to uphold its debt-based currency. Meanwhile, BRICS moves to reset and rebuild hard assets. The U.S. needs to leverage gold to retain dominance.

Ariel: Iraq is Getting Ready to Launch
Revaluation?
Reinstatement?
Redenomination?
Does it matter?
No because the only thing that would warrant a post of this type given what Iraq is getting ready to launch hours from now concerning those bonds. I do not see any other major event that is on schedule for tomorrow.
Listen, regardless of what happens tomorrow Iraq stated on an official basis that they only have 5% left for their monetary reform. So regardless we are on track for anything to happen at this point.

NO TURNING BACK ON LAUNCHING BRICS PAYMENT SYSTEM: DIPLOMAT
BRICS Sherpa Sergey Ryabkov confirmed to reporters that the bloc will not scrap the formation of a new payment system. Speaking to reporters at the Sherpa meeting, the diplomat doubled down saying that there’s no turning back on launching the new BRICS payment system. The goal of the new system is to sideline the US dollar and settle cross-border transactions in a basket of local currencies.
For the uninitiated, BRICS is working on the formation of an independent payment system that will not incorporate the US dollar into its mechanism. The mechanism will include local currencies of the bloc and keep the US dollar away from all transactions.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
NO TURNING BACK ON LAUNCHING BRICS PAYMENT SYSTEM: DIPLOMAT
BRICS Sherpa Sergey Ryabkov confirmed to reporters that the bloc will not scrap the formation of a new payment system. Speaking to reporters at the Sherpa meeting, the diplomat doubled down saying that there’s no turning back on launching the new BRICS payment system. The goal of the new system is to sideline the US dollar and settle cross-border transactions in a basket of local currencies.
For the uninitiated, BRICS is working on the formation of an independent payment system that will not incorporate the US dollar into its mechanism. The mechanism will include local currencies of the bloc and keep the US dollar away from all transactions.
“The glass is always half-full; it is never half-empty,” said Ryabkov when answering about the independent payment system within BRICS.
“We can measure how full the glass is in different ways but this ultimately depends on who is holding this glass in their hands. Therefore, we’ve made significant strides today. How much time it will take to fill the framework we’ve established with tangible actions depends on us. On BRICS and the global majority,” the diplomat said to reporters at a press conference.
Why is BRICS Creating a New Payment System?
The BRICS bloc is creating a new payment system to safeguard the economies of developing countries from US sanctions. The goal is to protect themselves economically without being pinned down by the US and the West. The diplomat called the US and the West “hostile states” who want to harm the prospects of developing countries.
The diplomat called the upcoming BRICS payment system a “critical milestone” for the bloc and “a point of no return.” He added that “we will do everything in our power to ensure success.”

'GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME ADDICTED TO INDIRECT REGULATION' — RIPPLE CTO
In a recent Joe Rogan interview, Mark Andreesen revealed that the debanking of tech firms caused the Silicon Valley shift toward Trump.
Ripple chief technical officer David Schwartz recently joined the list of tech founders speaking out against Operation Chokepoint 2.0 — a government-run debanking operation against the crypto industry. Schwartz said the government is "addicted to indirect regulation" and laid out four reasons why de-banking undermines the rule of law.
Schwartz argued that debanked entities switch service providers or take their funds underground — thereby evading surveillance and sanctions control altogether.
The CTO also said de-banking undermines due process, freedom of speech, and the right against unlawful search and seizure. Schwartz wrote:
"Our government has become addicted to indirect regulation precisely because of these evils. It is cheaper and easier to pressure someone else to punish me than to charge me with a crime and give me due process, but the government ought not to punish people without giving them due process."
"It is easier to pressure banks to cut off disfavored businesses than to make that business illegal," The CTO continued before imploring the government to use lawful and above-board processes to regulate businesses.
Industry founders recount government debanking operation
According to venture capitalist Mark Andreesen, more than 30 tech firms were victims of Operation Chokepoint 2.0, and tech founders recently took to social media to share their debanking experiences.
The list of figures speaking out included Frax Finance founder Sam Kazemian, who claimed that JPMorgan Chase debanked him in December 2022.
Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong also petitioned the government for records relating to Operation Chokepoint 2.0 via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and is currently compiling those records.
In September 2024, Castle Island Ventures partner Nic Carter revealed that the Biden administration deliberately killed Silvergate Bank — a major institution for crypto banking — in an effort to destroy the crypto industry. “I believe Silvergate could have survived its drawdown — and was on a path to do so,” Carter said.
However, Industry executives remain optimistic that the incoming Trump administration will reverse years of regulatory hostility toward the crypto industry.

The Role of the Military …Julian Assange on Telegram
The Deepstate’s financial empire will crumble. The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is set to officially take over, ushering in the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. The elite-controlled banks, stock markets, and fiat currencies will be obliterated and replaced with a fair, transparent financial system designed to serve the people, not the oppressors.

The Role of the Military …Julian Assange on Telegram
The Deepstate’s financial empire will crumble. The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is set to officially take over, ushering in the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. The elite-controlled banks, stock markets, and fiat currencies will be obliterated and replaced with a fair, transparent financial system designed to serve the people, not the oppressors.
Prepare yourselves—this is the storm you’ve been waiting for. Nothing can stop what is coming.
Global Currency Reset:
Sat. 30 Nov. 2024 Mark Z: A number of my sources that are involved with groups and historic bonds are now back in place and prepared (according to them) for a very eventful two weeks. They expect to be very busy over the next two weeks. This probably means things are starting soon. I have to agree with them.
Sat. 30 Nov. 2024 Wolverine: Zim Bonds are not currencies as they are on a contract rate. They are going to be worth HUGE.
Sat. 30 Nov. 2024: The Central Bank of Iraq will be holding a remittance auction for banks and exchange companies inside Iraq on Sun. 1 Dec. 2024. That means the Iraqi Dinar will be on the Forex inside Iraq on Sun. 1 Dec. 2024 and go live internationally on Monday 2 Dec. 2024. …Majeed KSA (in Iraq) on Telegram
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please consider the following as RUMORS:
Here are the latest updates that demonstrate the unparalleled strength and integration of QFS, proving it to be the ultimate tool for humanity’s financial liberation.
Tues. 15 Oct. 204 Major Rollout: Asset-Backed Digital Currencies Activated in Key Nations: On October 15, 2024, the White Hats officially launched asset-backed digital currencies in several strategic nations, including Russia, India, Brazil, and Hungary. Unlike the central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) being pushed by globalists, these currencies are 100% backed by gold, silver, and other tangible assets, rendering them immune to inflation and manipulation.
India: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced a shift from the fiat rupee to a Quantum Gold-Backed Rupee, facilitated by the QFS. The move has already stabilized the economy, with inflation dropping by 7% in just one month.
Brazil: Brazil’s government revealed that its new Quantum Real has attracted billions in foreign investment, thanks to its transparency and incorruptibility.
Mon. 28 Oct. 2024 Military Integration: Securing Global Financial Freedom. On October 28, 2024, leaked documents confirmed that the U.S. Space Force has deployed quantum satellites to secure QFS operations worldwide. These satellites, equipped with cutting-edge encryption, ensure that QFS transactions are immune to hacking or interference. This military integration demonstrates that QFS is not just a financial tool but a critical element of global sovereignty.
In addition, Special Operations Forces in alliance with the White Hats have successfully dismantled several deepstate-controlled data centers that were key to implementing the Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI). These operations, conducted in Switzerland, Belgium, and Canada, have crippled the globalists’ ability to spy on QFS transactions.
On Fri. 1 Nov. 2024: Russia’s Quantum Ruble was activated, bypassing Western sanctions and integrating seamlessly into the global QFS network. This integration is part of a larger plan to neutralize the fiat-based global financial system, which has enslaved nations under debt and corruption for decades.
Sun. 3 Nov. 2024 Integration with Global Trade: Quantum Nodes Deployed. These nodes highlight the global reach of QFS and its ability to bypass corrupt banking systems controlled by the Deepstate. A groundbreaking development occurred on November 3, 2024, when Quantum Trade Nodes were activated in Dubai, Singapore, and Frankfurt. These nodes act as transactional gateways, allowing nations to trade securely without reliance on traditional banking systems like SWIFT. The Quantum Trade Nodes provide instantaneous, transparent settlement of transactions, cutting out the need for intermediaries.
Dubai: The Dubai Trade Council reported that 60% of its exports and imports are now settled using QFS protocols, eliminating transaction delays and corruption.
Singapore: Singapore’s integration of Quantum Nodes has made it the fastest-growing hub for global trade, processing over $100 billion in QFS-backed transactions in just two weeks.
Frankfurt: Germany’s trade systems have seamlessly linked with QFS, reducing cross-border payment times from days to seconds.
Australia: The Australian government has announced plans to phase out fiat currency entirely by 2025 in favor of QFS integration.
September 2024 The Fall of the Globalists’ CBDCs: The Deepstate’s dream of controlling humanity through Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) is collapsing under the pressure of QFS. The exodus from CBDCs underscores the growing recognition that QFS offers a secure, incorruptible alternative to the deepstate’s financial schemes. Since September 2024, several nations have abandoned their plans for CBDC adoption after seeing the transparency and fairness of QFS.
Italy: The Italian government scrapped its CBDC pilot on October 20, 2024, citing public opposition and the superior performance of QFS-backed alternatives.
South Africa: On November 5, 2024, South Africa announced its withdrawal from the globalist-controlled CBDC initiative, opting to explore QFS integration instead.
Argentina: The Argentine Central Bank admitted on November 12, 2024, that its CBDC trials had failed to gain public trust, paving the way for a QFS-backed system.
Fri. 15 Nov. 2024: QFS and the End of Debt Slavery. This debt reset is part of a broader effort to free nations and individuals from the financial shackles imposed by the globalists. One of QFS’s most profound impacts is its ability to erase national and personal debt by exposing the fraudulent practices of central banks and their fractional reserve systems. On November 15, 2024, leaked reports revealed that the White Hats have been using QFS to conduct forensic audits of central banks in the UK, France, and Japan, uncovering trillions of dollars in fraudulent debt.
France: The French government is now under pressure to annul illegitimate debts imposed on its citizens, thanks to QFS-backed audits.
Japan: Japan has already announced plans to forgive $500 billion in public debt, crediting QFS for revealing the fraud.
UK: The UK’s central bank faces growing scrutiny, with insiders revealing plans to transition entirely to QFS by 2026.
Nov. 2024 Evidence of Mass Awakening: As of November 2024, a global awakening is underway, driven by the transparency and empowerment provided by QFS. Across social media platforms and encrypted communication channels, millions are sharing testimonials of how QFS is revolutionizing their financial lives.
Farmers in India are bypassing corrupt middlemen and receiving fair prices for their crops directly through QFS transactions.
Small businesses in Brazil are thriving as they gain access to QFS-backed loans with zero interest.
Activists in Europe are using QFS to fund grassroots movements without fear of government crackdowns.
The Road Ahead: The power of QFS is undeniable, and its integration into global systems is accelerating. The White Hats are not just fighting back—they are winning. The Quantum Financial System is proving itself to be the ultimate weapon against the deepstate’s agenda of mass control, and surveillance.
As of November 17, 2024, the future is no longer uncertain. With QFS, humanity is reclaiming its sovereignty, dismantling the corrupt systems of the past, and building a future of freedom, fairness, and transparency. The message is clear: the globalists’ reign of terror is crumbling, and the Quantum Age has begun.

Expect Freefalling Markets; COVID Crash "On Steroids" | David Hunter
Liberty and Finance: 11-30-2024
David Hunter, a veteran contrarian macro strategist, is forecasting a major "melt-up" in financial markets followed by a dramatic collapse.
He predicts that stock markets will continue to surge, with the S&P 500 possibly reaching 7,500 and the NASDAQ hitting 25,000 before this parabolic rally culminates.
However, Hunter warns that this final stage will be followed by a global economic bust, driven by decades of overspending, over borrowing, and central bank policy errors. In terms of precious metals, he has a bullish pre-bust outlook, forecasting gold to rise to $3,400 and silver to reach $75 in the near term, boosted by a weakening dollar and falling interest rates.
He then sees a crash in prices. After the bust, Hunter sees both metals continuing their upward trajectory, with gold potentially reaching $20,000 and silver soaring to $500 as part of a broader commodity-driven recovery.

Tishwash: Government Advisor: Number of Bank Accounts in Iraq Increases to More Than 14 Million
The Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial and Economic Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed on Saturday that financial inclusion in Iraq, represented by bank accounts, has risen to 14 million, with 20 million users, while he pointed out that Iraq is witnessing a boom in adopting e-governance as a basis for integrity and financial efficiency.
Saleh said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and reviewed by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the pillar of financial inclusion is represented by the number of personal bank accounts, as inclusion aims to enable individuals and companies to access financial services appropriate to their needs in an easy and reasonable manner, while ensuring legal protection and transparency."
He added, "Financial inclusion focuses on enhancing the financial integration of economically and socially marginalized groups, such as the poor, women, and youth, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises that lack adequate access to financing in the banking system by opening a bank account."
He pointed out that "national indicators confirm that financial inclusion in Iraq has increased from 20% to 48% at the present time compared to previous years," explaining that "the reason is due to two main factors, which are the localization of salaries of employees, workers, retirees and social care, and the other is the spread of digital payments or digital financial inclusion."
Saleh stressed that "Iraq is witnessing a boom within the government program policy that considers e-governance as the basis for integrity, transparency, financial and economic efficiency, and optimal investment of resources and time," noting that "the latest statistics indicate that the number of bank accounts is about 14 million bank accounts and more than 20 million payment card users, which means an increase in the financial inclusion rate from 20% to 48%, which is a rate measured by the number of bank accounts opened for adults in the population."
He continued, "There are a number of open bank accounts that are dormant or zero, which should be excluded to reach the correct number of open bank accounts. There are open and zero accounts belonging to expatriates, deceased people, bankrupt companies, companies that have left work, and individuals who have not dealt with their bank accounts opened in banks that are under guardianship or are in trouble, and other factors and hopes are many."
He continued, "The real criterion for adopting the bank account as a criterion for financial inclusion is the bank accounts opened for active individuals, not the zero or inactive ones, which requires excluding them from the statistics of banks and the Iraqi banking system in general." link

Reviving the Gold Standard: Judy Shelton’s Proposal for a Gold-Convertible Treasury Bond
25 November 2024
Gold prices are significantly down on Monday morning. As the U.S. enters a shortened trading week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the general market sentiment appears more optimistic, which is unfavorable for precious metals typically seen as safe-haven assets.
This improved risk appetite can be partially attributed to President-elect Trump’s selection of hedge fund manager Scott Bessent for the position of Treasury Secretary.
The appointment of a financial industry insider to this key economic role has seemingly boosted investor confidence in the incoming administration’s economic policies. The price of gold is trading at $2642.39, down $73.80. The price of silver is trading at $30.39, down 95 cents.
Judy Shelton, a long-time advocate for sound money, has proposed an innovative approach to reintroduce a gold standard for the US dollar.
Her plan involves issuing a 50-year Treasury bond that would be convertible into gold, potentially to be initiated by President Trump on July 4, 2026. This proposal aims to address the current monetary system’s shortcomings and restore stability to the dollar by tying it back to a tangible asset.
The concept of a gold-convertible Treasury bond serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it provides a mechanism for discovering the appropriate price for gold convertibility without the need to abolish the Federal Reserve or make drastic changes to the current monetary system. Secondly, it would effectively utilize the United States’ substantial gold reserves, which are currently undervalued on government ledgers.
By offering gold redeemability, the government could potentially issue extremely long-dated debt at lower interest rates, as the risk of future dollar devaluation would be mitigated. This approach aligns with Shelton’s view that currency should be a standardized measure for public use rather than a policy instrument for managing the economy.

XRP NEWS: RIPPLE’S RLUSD STABLECOIN SET TO LAUNCH IN 4 DAYS – WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
XRP NEWS: RIPPLE’S RLUSD STABLECOIN SET TO LAUNCH IN 4 DAYS – WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Ripple's stablecoin, RLUSD, is set to launch soon, pending NYDFS approval.
RLUSD aims to stabilize Ripple's offerings and capture a larger share of the cross-border payment market.
Positive regulatory shifts and market optimism are driving XRP's price surge.
Ripple always seems to be in the spotlight, doesn’t it?
The company behind XRP is preparing to launch its highly anticipated stablecoin, RLUSD, with approval from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) expected on December 4.
Why is RLUSD so important and how will it change the game for Ripple AND crypto payments? Let’s find out.
RLUSD: Ripple’s Answer to Legal Problems?
The launch of RLUSD is more than just a product release—it’s Ripple’s strategy to address the ongoing legal uncertainty around XRP. Unlike XRP, which is known for its price swings, RLUSD will offer the stability that investors and institutions seek.
Ripple’s acquisition of Standard Custody & Trust Company earlier this year was a crucial step. It enabled Ripple to meet NYDFS’s strict regulatory standards, setting the stage for RLUSD’s launch and enhancing its credibility in the stablecoin space.
Can Ripple Compete With the Others?
With RLUSD, Ripple is entering a market dominated by heavyweights like Circle’s USDC and Paxos’ USDP. By partnering with platforms such as MoonPay and Uphold, Ripple aims to make RLUSD available globally.
The stablecoin’s primary use case?
Transforming cross-border payments. RLUSD could make these transactions faster and more cost-effective, further boosting the adoption of Ripple’s RippleNet, which already competes with traditional systems like SWIFT.
XRP Price Analysis
XRP has been trading within a tight range of $0.39 to $0.75 since March 2023. However, recent developments—such as the upcoming U.S. election and Ripple’s push for regulatory clarity—have renewed investor optimism.
The anticipated launch of RLUSD is seen as a catalyst that could push XRP beyond its current limits. Some market analysts predict XRP could climb above $2 by year-end, driven by increased confidence in Ripple’s ecosystem.
What’s Boosting Ripple Today?
Ripple’s position is further strengthened by global regulatory changes. The MiCA framework in Europe and a pro-crypto stance from the Trump administration in the U.S. are creating a more supportive environment for compliant blockchain projects like Ripple.
If the NYDFS grants approval as expected, RLUSD could launch on December 4. This would add stability to Ripple’s offerings, enhancing its appeal in the fast-growing stablecoin market.
The stablecoin race is heating up, and Ripple’s RLUSD could be the wildcard that changes the game. Stay tuned to Coinpedia to know just how far it will go.
FAQs
Why is XRP going up?
Optimism around regulatory clarity and Ripple’s stablecoin news is fueling the price surge.
How high can XRP go?
While predictions vary, some experts believe XRP could cross $2 by year end.
What is stablecoin?
A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency pegged to a stable asset like the U.S. dollar, reducing volatility.
Is XRP a good investment?
XRP has huge potential, but market volatility and regulatory factors should be considered.

BRAZIL’S BITCOIN RESERVE BILL: HOW IT COULD CHANGE CRYPTO FOREVER
Brazil Bitcoin takes a bold step forward.
Congressman Eros Biondini has proposed a BTC reserve bill to make Bitcoin part of the national treasury. His plan, called the ‘Bitcoin Sovereign Strategic Reserve (RESBit)’, wants to put 5% of Brazil’s reserves into Bitcoin. This marks a major change in how countries handle cryptocurrency.
Understanding Brazil’s BTC Reserve Bill and Its Impact on Crypto Regulations
Key Components of RESBit
Brazil’s Central Bank will keep the Bitcoin in cold storage. They plan to buy it step by step. The BTC reserve bill aims to spread out financial risks and make Brazil a tech leader. Such Brazil Bitcoin initiatives could show other countries how to use cryptocurrency in their banking systems.
Global Implications and Market Response
More countries want to use cryptocurrency now. Argentina, Morocco, and Romania are interested, too. US President-elect Donald Trump supports creating a Bitcoin reserve, making the BTC reserve bill more important worldwide.
Implementation and Security Measures
RESBit has strong rules for keeping Bitcoin safe. The Central Bank will use new technology to watch over and protect the funds. This helps make sure national digital money stays secure. Brazil’s innovative Bitcoin security measures could set a global standard.
Economic Strategy and Innovation
The plan helps the economy now and builds for the future. Brazil Bitcoin’s move with RESBit creates a blueprint that other countries might follow. This could change how the world handles money.
Future Outlook
Biondini’s plan could make cryptocurrency more common. If it passes, Brazil Bitcoin legislation would make it one of the first big countries to keep Bitcoin as a national reserve. This might encourage other nations to do the same.

“It’s a cartel. It’s not a government agency, it has the appearance of it being a government agency. They went to great lengths to give it that façade In it’s essence, It’s a cartel… They got together. They drew up the rules and regulations for their own industry.
To self regulate their own industry. It’s what cartels do. And then they sent it to congress and they took off the label off the top that said ‘banking cartel’ and they erased that and they said ‘Federal Reserve Act.’ Congress passed it into law. And that’s why we think it’s a government agency it’s because if you don’t obey the rules that they set down for their own industry you go to prison.”

Tishwash: After the decision to cancel the platform.. Will we witness a crazy rise in dollar prices in Iraq?
In a move that has attracted the attention of economic and financial circles, the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, announced the bank’s intention to cancel the electronic platform for financial transfers early next year.
This decision comes as part of a series of reforms aimed at facilitating financial procedures and stimulating the economy, but at the same time it raises questions about its potential impact on the stability of the dinar exchange rate.IraqibeforeDollarAmerican.
The concept of the electronic platform and its role in currency stability
The electronic money transfer platform is a mechanism adopted to ensure the regulation of foreign money transfers and to limit manipulation of exchange rates.
The platform documents commercial transactions and money transfers by banks and financial companies, ensuring more effective control over hard currency flows in and out of the country.
This platform has greatly contributed to narrowing the gap between the exchange rate.OfficialAnd priceThe marketBlack, where it prevented many money laundering and smuggling operations.

The Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, confirmed in a statement to the official agency, which was followed by:Sumerian“Next year, we will launch a new approach to expand and enhance citizens’ remittances for various purposes, such as travel, treatment, or any legitimate remittances abroad, just as we did for commercial remittances,” he said, noting that “there are also agreements currently in place with relevant companies such as Visa, Mastercard, MoneyGram, Western Union, to establish a new framework for implementing these operations, which will constitute another shift in controlling these operations.”
Al-Alaq added, "Next year or the beginning of next year 2025 will witness the completion of the current procedures, and we seek to provide reassurance, especially with some people's questions about the fate of transfers after the completion of the electronic platform at the end of this year 2024."
“There is no sudden transition, but rather a gradual transition that began in 2024, where the banks’ relationship was transferred directly to correspondent banks without passing through other links, and the process has been completed with continued success,” he continued, stressing that “more than 95% of this goal has been achieved, and this process will be completed successfully within the next two weeks,” noting that “there is international anticipation to celebrate this occasion.” link

The BRICS alliance is determined to trade in local currencies and not the US dollar for cross-border transactions. The US dollar is seen as an adversary that hinders their growth in the global financial sector. Local currencies are seen as an alternative option that can bring the hegemony of the USD down.
BRICS: Local Currencies First & Not the US Dollar
Similar to the phrase ‘America First‘, the BRICS bloc is now emerging to make ‘local currencies first’. The bloc is pulling every trick up its sleeve to sideline the US dollar for cross-border payments. From oil deals to copper trade and infrastructural loans, the alliance is aiming to push local currencies for settlements.
Many other developing countries are keen on joining the bandwagon and could soon jump on the de-dollarization train. Several nations in Africa are on the sidelines and could seek the help of BRICS to put their local currencies to use.
The move will strengthen their native economies and make businesses thrive. It will also provide a way for their local currencies to make a mark in the currency markets.

BRICS NEWS: 2 COUNTRIES OFFICIALLY ABANDON THE US DOLLAR FOR TRADE
BRICS members Russia and Iran announced that they have officially abandoned the US dollar for trade between the two nations. Russia reported that 96% of all cross-border transactions between Iran have been settled in local currencies, the ruble and rial. In 2024, the usage of local currencies between Russia and Iran is up by 12.4%, making 96% of all settlements.
“We (BRICS members Iran and Russia) have entered into a currency agreement with Russia and fully removed the US dollar. Now we only trade in rubles and rials,” said the Governor of the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic, Mohammad Reza Farzin. However, both nations face sanctions as the White House has made it difficult to accept the US dollar.
In July this year, both the BRICS countries agreed to a currency swap policy signed by the Russian and Iranian central banks. They also completed the integration of Russia’s Mir payment as a replacement for the SWIFT messaging system and the US dollar. Russia also allowed Iranian citizens to withdraw the rial in ATMs across the country.
BRICS: Russia & Iran Sidelines the US Dollar, Trades in Local Currencies
While the US pressed sanctions on BRICS member Russia to weaken its economy, the Kremlin is bypassing the sanctions by convincing other countries to ditch the US dollar and begin using local currencies. The de-dollarization initiative is growing and many developing countries are now eager to join the bandwagon.

TAIWAN ENFORCES AML REGISTRATION MANDATE FOR CRYPTO PROVIDERS
Taiwan accelerates its crypto AML mandate, imposing stricter registration rules and penalties for noncompliance.
Taiwan advanced the introduction of its new Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations for cryptocurrency businesses after authorities fined two crypto exchanges for violations.
On Nov. 27, the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) announced that the upcoming money laundering prevention registration mandate for crypto exchanges was shifted to Nov. 30 from the previous Jan. 1, 2025 deadline.
Per the previous notice, virtual asset service providers (VASPs) failing to register with the government could be subject to a two-year prison sentence or fines of as much as 5 million New Taiwan dollars ($155,900).
The new mandate includes previously registered crypto businesses
According to Taiwan FSC records, 26 crypto providers are currently approved to continue to offer their services. All crypto entities, whether previously registered or not, must register in accordance with the new AML mandate. The authority said:
“No business operators have completed the Money Laundering Prevention Registration under the VASP Registration Measures.”
The authority provided a checklist of items crypto exchanges can use to track suspicious transactions or activities. When identifying suspicious customers, crypto service providers must look for names and bank account details, location via IP addresses, multiple trading accounts and frequent information changes, among other things.
Crypto exchanges in Taiwan were also asked to track unusual transaction activities, including but not limited to splitting funds, utilizing multiple accounts with the same IP address and switching assets.
Cracking down on crypto exchanges violating AML laws
According to a Regulation Asia report, the FSC fined crypto exchanges MaiCoin and BitoPro on Nov. 28 for AML violations in relation to customer due diligence (CDD), transaction monitoring, record-keeping and suspicious transaction reporting.
To register with Taiwan’s AML regulation, crypto service providers are required to submit a one-page form detailing the nature of their businesses.
The form states that any changes to the business or the information provided should be provided to the Securities Over-the-counter (OTC) Trading Center within five business days.
Crypto businesses will also be required to establish a quality management system for accounting and auditing their finances.

RETAILERS PUSH FOR A DELAY IN ROLLOUT OF RUSSIA’S CBDC
In October the Bank of Russia revealed a time frame for the roll out of the digital ruble, which forms part of a Bill that has been submitted to the State Duma. The mass rollout date is 1 July 2025. By that time the largest banks and retailers must support the central bank digital currency (CBDC). Now the Ministry of Industry and Trade has asked for a longer timescale of up to two years, similar to that provided to smaller retailers, the Izvestia newspaper reported.
The 1 July deadline applies to retailers with a turnover of more than 30 million rubles ($274,000). Those with incomes between 20 to 30 million rubles have one extra year, and smaller firms have two years.
The Ministry complained that there are still no rules for the operation and functioning of the digital ruble, so it doesn’t allow sufficient time for retailers to prepare and for adapting their point of sale software.
Trade bodies agree. “We believe it is necessary to refrain from legislatively establishing specific deadlines for launching systems at the trade level and to provide for a transition period of at least two years, during which companies will carry out the necessary work,” a letter from the Retail Companies Association (ACORT) states.
Another industry body, the Association of Internet Trade Companies (AITC), has similar views. It said, “The absence of such important provisions does not give businesses the opportunity to assess the costs of implementation time, the necessary human resources, expenses for the company, and also to understand to what extent companies are ready to implement such payments.”
The main benefit of a CBDC for retail outlets is reduced acquiring fees, so retailers will pay less for processing payments.
What’s the rush?
Stepping back, one of the big motivators for a CBDC is for cross border payments in order to circumvent sanctions. If a CBDC isn’t rolled out domestically, then a cross border CBDC would need direct integration with the domestic payment system.
With the cross border payment platform mBridge, the only member that currently has a domestic CBDC is China, and even that is in pilot mode. Hence, it’s not completely clear why there’s such a rush in Russia. Especially given the central bank has a few other issues to deal with given the war with Ukraine.
On the other hand, Russia is known for its software prowess, and is trying to lead the BRICS Bridge cross border payment project. Hence, having an operational domestic CBDC gives it more credibility.
