Dr. Ron Paul: Hope for American Liberty

Dr. Ron Paul: Hope for American Liberty

Palisades Gold Radio: 

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back former congressman Dr. Ron Paul from Texas and Liberty Report host to discuss the link between liberty and the economy.

Dr. Paul insists that freer societies are more prosperous, advocating for a sound monetary policy as crucial for economic health. He condemns interventionist policies and criticizes the Federal Reserve's manipulation of interest rates, citing 1921 as evidence of a hands-off approach leading to a better recovery from an economic downturn.

During the conversation, Dr. Paul expresses his aspiration to terminate the Federal Reserve and proposes steps towards accomplishing this goal, including repealing the Federal Reserve Act and enforcing the Constitution.

Although he acknowledges that the process might not be easy due to the nation's addiction to low-interest rates and easy money, he emphasizes the importance of recognizing inflation as a tax on people's money and advocates for Fed auditing as a path to transparency.

Dr. Paul supports gold-backed bonds as a means of promoting fiscal restraint and offering individuals a valuable savings opportunity.

He denounces tariffs as an ill-conceived solution for economic matters, suggesting instead the elimination of burdensome business regulations. Furthermore, Dr. Paul expresses concerns about government information's lack of transparency and encourages citizens to educate themselves on constitutional principles in order to safeguard individual liberties.

Dr. Paul concludes by urging listeners to act upon their convictions and principles, underlining the significance of education in history and economics.

He also presents his homeschooling curriculum as a substantial contribution to fostering individual liberty and countering excessive government control over education and healthcare. Ultimately, Dr. Paul underscores the importance of personal accountability and the risks of government intervention in diverse areas.

Millions Are Going Bankrupt As Credit Crisis Reaches Critical Level!

Atlantis Report:  12-17-2024

Today, we're going to expose the darkest side of the American credit crisis. American households are spending a thousand dollars more every month just to purchase the same goods and services as three years ago.

It's no wonder why so many people are turning to credit cards to make ends meet. But the situation is becoming so extreme that now almost half of all Americans are on a hamster wheel of credit card debt, according to a new report. That includes children, Gen Z, Millennials, and pretty much every future generation.

Recent data shows that there are millions of children in the U.S. drowning in debt. At the same time, seniors are literally unretiring to be able to pay off their balances, and conditions are growing worse with each passing month. Today, we uncover the dark side of the Credit Crisis in America.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BREAKING: FED SLASHES INTEREST RATES BY 25 BPS

The US Federal Reserve has finally announced its eighth and last policy decision for 2024 after a two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. It has cut interest rates by 25 bps. Notably, this is the third rate cut in 2024 from the Fed.

Notably, Wall Street had expected the central bank to slash the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points (bps) for the second straight meeting after lowering it to 4.50 – 4.75 per cent in November. Markets were confident in a rate reduction, with CME Group’s FedWatch tool indicating a 99% probability.

The last policy verdict by the central bank came just after Republican Donald Trump secured a landslide victory in the 2024 US Presidential elections. In the September meeting, the US Fed slashed the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 4.75 per cent-5 per cent for the first time in four years after policymakers expressed confidence that inflation was consistently on track to come near the target level.

Fed Not In A Hurry To Slash Rates

The US Fed policymakers estimate the benchmark interest rate falling by another half-point by the end of this year, another full percentage point in 2025, and a final half-point reduction in 2026 to end in a 2.75 per cent-3.00 per cent range.

The Fed Chair Chairman Jerome Powell had earlier indicated that the committee is in no hurry to reduce the key benchmark interest rates and that the committee will be more careful in the rate cut approach.

Also, earlier, Goldman analysts referenced a speech by Beth Hammack, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, where she stated that resilient growth, a strong labor market, and elevated inflation justify maintaining a modestly restrictive monetary policy for some time, as it could help to “sustainably return inflation back to 2 percent in a timely fashion.”

Impact On Crypto

“While a rate cut is undoubtedly favorable for Bitcoin’s price, the market appears to have already priced in a 25 basis point cut in December,” Min Jung, research analyst at Presto Labs, noted. He added that, as a result, the actual rate cut may have a minimal direct impact on Bitcoin’s price.

Jung emphasized that attention will turn to the December FOMC meeting’s Summary of Economic Projections and comments from Powell on future rate cuts. He noted that any unexpected developments or surprises from these factors will likely be the key drivers of Bitcoin’s price action.

Just recently, Bitcoin (BTC) took a pause after hitting an all-time high of $108,268 as traders awaited the Federal Reserve’s anticipated interest rate cut and optimism from strategic Bitcoin reserve plans.

BRICS NEWS:  BRICS ANNOUNCE PARTNER NATION RULES WITH ONE KEY DIFFERENCE

With the BRICS expanding for the second time in two years, the economic alliance has announced its newly instituted partner nation rules, with one key difference among them. Indeed, the bloc welcomed 13 new countries with partnership status as its global standing continues to strengthen.

The decision was officially unveiled at this year’s annual summit. Moreover, it happened 12 months after the bloc officially expanded for the first time since 2001. Specifically, it welcomed four countries to join the BRICS bloc, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, Iran, and Ethiopia joining the group.

BRICS Partner Nations Unveiled as Alliance Announce Rule Change

The last two years have seen massive shifts take place in a geopolitical realm. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Western sanctions took a massive toll on the invading country. Thereafter, Moscow turned to its BRICS allies and the global south as de-dollarization became an immense priority.

The allure of those policies was clearly shown in nations jockeying to join that emerging group. Now, the bloc has expanded twice. Indeed, the official membership list has grown, as well as the development of its very own partnership nation-tier coming to fruition. Now, BRICS has announced partner nation rules with one very important difference.

According to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, BRICS partners are able to submit ideas but are not permitted to vote on them. According to Ryabkov, partner status “presupposes participation in BRICS mechanisms,” yet he assured, that “they are not allowed to make decisions.”

This aspect of the partnership plan was not made public prior to the announcement of its creation this year. It will be interesting to hear how nations react to the terms. Moreover, its impact on future participation and interest will showcase how the economic alliance is viewed internationally.

There’s No Limit on the Price of Gold, Sound Money Rising as Fiat Falters

There’s No Limit on the Price of Gold, Sound Money Rising as Fiat Falters

VRIC Media:  12-18-2024

In a rapidly changing economic landscape, many investors are seeking safe havens to guard against inflation, currency debasement, and financial instability.

Two prominent voices in the discussion of precious metals, Peter Schiff and Adrian Day, recently shared their insights on VRIC Media, shedding light on the potential trajectory of gold in the current financial climate.

Schiff and Day argue that gold’s potential for growth is intrinsically linked to the instability of fiat currencies, particularly the US dollar.

They propose that the upside for gold is limited only by how low these currencies can actually fall—a situation they describe as “truly limitless.” With record levels of national debt and budget deficits becoming the norm across many countries, including the United States, the risks associated with traditional currency systems continue to mount.

One of the main driving forces behind the case for gold is the alarming rise in global debt levels. According to recent data, global debt has soared to over $300 trillion, creating an unsustainable financial environment. Governments are increasingly resorting to quantitative easing and other monetary policies that dilute the value of money. This debasement of currency erodes purchasing power and drives investors toward assets like gold, which have historically maintained their value during economic turmoil.

Schiff, known for his bearish outlook on the dollar, warns that the current practices of excessive borrowing and money printing could lead to a significant collapse of fiat currencies. With confidence in traditional currencies waning, precious metals may serve as a refuge, preserving wealth during uncertain times.

Additionally, Schiff and Day highlight the predicted downfall of the cryptocurrency market as another catalyst for gold’s upward trajectory. While cryptocurrencies initially emerged as an alternative store of value, their volatility and lack of intrinsic value present significant risks. As the bubble potentially nears its burst, investors may pivot back to gold, an asset that has stood the test of time.

The duo maintains that the fragility and speculative nature of digital currencies could lead to a massive capital shift towards gold. This increased demand could further drive up the price of gold, extending the current bull market for the precious metal.

In light of these factors, Schiff and Day confidently assert that the gold bull market is only just beginning. They urge investors to reassess their portfolios and consider incorporating gold as a hedge against the potential decline of fiat currencies and the uncertainties plaguing other investment avenues.

While the road ahead for gold is fraught with challenges, including potential market volatility and geopolitical events, the fundamental underpinnings of its value appear robust. As economic indicators continue to signal risks and uncertainties, gold remains a beacon of stability for those seeking to navigate the tumultuous waters of modern finance.

As we observe the shifting dynamics of the global economy, insights from Peter Schiff and Adrian Day emphasize the importance of gold as an investment. With an expanding debt crisis, ongoing currency devaluation, and skepticism towards digital currencies, gold could be on the verge of a significant upswing.

The message is clear: in a world where the limitations of fiat currencies seem to erode, gold offers a timeless safeguard for wealth preservation, potentially leading investors into a promising new era for the precious metal.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

GENSLER GONE, CRENSHAW OUT, RLUSD LIVE: RIPPLE VS SEC FINAL SHOWDOWN ON JAN 15?

Ripple sees a boost as SEC Chair Gary Gensler resigns, and RLUSD launch signals global growth for XRP ahead of key January 15 deadline.

January 15 could be pivotal for XRP as SEC files briefs in Ripple lawsuit; new leadership brings hope for relaxed crypto regulations.

It looks like the clouds are clearing for Ripple as recent events have given it a boost, possibly changing the course of its legal battle. Trump’s promise to fire SEC Chair Gary Gensler on day one seems to be coming true, as Gensler announced his resignation on January 20, the same day Trump is inaugurated. This big news helped push XRP to new yearly highs.

Plus, Ripple’s RLUSD launched on December 17, taking a big step toward global growth. Meanwhile, SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw became a target of the crypto community due to her strong anti-crypto stance and was denied renomination. 

All of these events could lead to something big on January 15, especially with Paul Atkins soon taking over as SEC Chair. Many are hopeful that this will bring a more relaxed approach to crypto regulation.

What Will Happen on January 15?

The SEC has requested an extension to file its principal brief in the ongoing XRP lawsuit with Ripple Labs. The new deadline for filing is set for January 15, 2025.

According to attorney Fred Rispoli, this part of the case is strictly about paperwork — no new evidence or jury trial. There are two appeals in process: one from the SEC and another from Ripple, called a “cross-appeal.”

Each side will submit an opening brief, followed by an opposition brief, and then a reply brief. Afterward, there will be a 15-minute oral argument in front of three judges. 

Fred said that while the argument is brief, it will be crucial, as the judges’ questions can provide insight into their initial thoughts on the case. However, he also said that the entire process could take up to a year and a half, despite the short duration of the oral argument.

Ripple vs. SEC drama heats up will the outcome boost XRP? Reda XRP price prediction points to a potential surge as key decisions loom.

Even if the legal case continues, supporters remain optimistic that the new government will implement the right measures to support the crypto industry. Another bullish development is that Empower Oversight is urging Congress to release an SEC Inspector General report on former chairman Jay Clayton’s actions. This report could bolster their investigation before Clayton is confirmed as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

US TREASURY ISSUES SANCTIONS OVER NORTH KOREAN CRYPTO MONEY LAUNDERING

Alleged crypto money launderers with links to the North Korean regime have been sanctioned by U.S. authorities.

North Korea’s government has been caught red handed—again.

That’s according to the feds, who today announced that they have sanctioned two individuals tied to a crypto money laundering network with alleged ties to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

In a Tuesday statement, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control said it had sanctioned Lu Huaying and Zhang Jian for allegedly laundering digital assets to fund the already heavily sanctioned government in Pyongyang.

The Treasury Department alleged that a front company in the United Arab Emirates, named Green Alpine Trading LLC, was used to turn crypto into cash. The agency credited the UAE for help in targeting the sanctioned individuals.

“Today’s sanctions are a part of ongoing efforts to disrupt the DPRK’s money laundering operations, which finance the regime’s unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs,” Tuesday’s statement reads.

The sanctions mean that both Huaying and Jian have had their assets frozen and that Americans won’t be able to do business with them or with their company.

Acting Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Bradley T. Smith added that the North Korean regime used “complex criminal schemes” to fund its missile program—including “exploiting digital assets.”

North Korean actors are no stranger to crypto: Hacking groups with ties to the country’s ruler, such as Lazarus, have used mixing tools like Tornado Cash and other apps in order to hide the trace of dirty funds, U.S. authorities have alleged.

Other digital asset researchers and blockchain trackers have released data showing that hackers with government ties target crypto exchanges to steal funds.  

The U.S. only yesterday hit North Korea with more sanctions, targeting a number of banks and officials with the aim of disrupting the hermit kingdom’s support of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

UK’S FIRST DIGITAL SECURITIES SANDBOX PARTICIPANTS GET PRELIMINARY APPROVAL

The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) opened the Digital Securities Sandbox (DSS) for applications at the end of September. It relaxes certain rules for DLT market infrastructures. 

Some of the first applicants have already received preliminary approval, although admittedly it doesn’t mean that much because they can’t go live. However, given it’s only been six weeks since applications opened, it appears the FCA plans to move fast.

The two entities that have announced preliminary approval are (intended) central securities depository (CSD) Montis (owned by Archax) and ClearToken, which plans to operate as a central clearinghouse for crypto and tokenized assets. ClearToken is backed by Nomura’s Laser Digital and Standard Chartered’s Zodia Custody, amongst others.

Like the EU’s DLT Pilot Regime, the DSS plans to relax the rule that exchanges and central securities depositories must always be separate. With DLT, that split is sometimes impractical. The first EU approval of CSD Prague happened 18 months after the legislation came into force. Only two EU entities have been approved so far.

In an attempt to address these sorts of delays, the UK has created a gate system, with Gate 1 as preliminary approval, and Gate 2 as permission to go live within the sandbox. These preliminary approvals are only for Gate 1. For existing regulated entities, the gap between Gate 1 and Gate 2 should not be too significant. 

The FCA said early bank applicants could earn Gate 2 approval by February 2025, with unregulated entities closer to November 2025. Others would be somewhere in between.

Both of the startups, Montis and ClearToken, are yet to receive regulatory approval, so they are likely to have to wait a while to receive Gate 2 clearance. That said, Montis has been working on its CSD licensing for years.

“By applying to the DSS, we are taking a significant step toward creating a dynamic, globally connected financial ecosystem based in the UK,” said Montis Group CEO Martin Watkins. 

“Our proven capabilities in Luxembourg, where we have built an infrastructure service aggregate and record both conventional and natively digital securities using DLT, will provide a strong foundation for the UK’s digital securities markets.”

Judy Note: Beware of Banks: Yes, there are many banks exchanging certain currencies including the Iraqi Dinar right now. WARNING: They will give you the present street rate, not the much higher rate you can receive at an official Redemption Center.

Most of the larger Banks are (allegedly) owned by the Cabal – and they are going broke with the new financial system. In the very near future they will not even be handling our money. So it is not surprising that Banks are now advertising to exchange your currency with them.

Banks are also saying that there is no such thing as a Redemption Center. Not true.

Be aware you will get a much higher rate(allegedly)  at an official Redemption Center, plus a bank is not authorized to redeem Zim.

On Tues. 17 Dec. 2024 Ripple USD Stablecoin (RLUSD) launched, the Iraqi Dinar was (allegedly) being paid out at it’s new revalued rate of just under $8.00 in-country (the international rate has not yet stabilized on the Forex and wouldn’t be until Mon. 23 Dec); Rumors swirled that the Vietnamese Dong has followed suit and XRP went live.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tues. 17 Dec. 2024 Bruce:  (RUMORS)

On Mon. 16 Dec. 2024 at 9am Iraqi time Iraq paid it’s contractors at the new Iraqi in-country rate of just under $8.00 and dated the payments back to Aug.

As of Tues. 17 Dec. 2024 Banking Systems were beginning to process the new gold/ asset-backed US Treasury Note (USTN).

The new gold/asset-backed USTN is now in all banks and Redemption Centers.

XRP is crypto currency and allows the USTN to be live. If you hold XRP you can sell it at your Redemption Center appointment.

On Tues. 17 Dec. 2024 at 8 am EST emails went out to all banks and Redemption Centers explaining the timing of Tier4b exchange appointments.

Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) email notification to set appointments will go out from Wells Fargo overnight tonight or tomorrow Wed. 18 Dec. 2024.

The fiat US Dollar will be phased out within the next three months, or by the end of March 2025.

~~~~~~~~~~

(Rumors)

GLOBAL CURRENCY RESET The final countdown: The wait is over, patriots. The Storm is here, and the gears of history are turning faster than ever. Iraq’s oil-backed Dinar has revalued in-country, with rates confirmed at $3.49 in Iraq and $3.28 in Kurdistan. Rumors swirl that Vietnam’s Dong has followed suit, with classified rates already circulating. Tier 4b (that’s us!) is on high alert. Reno has received the green light, and redemption centers are locked and loaded. Trusted insiders confirm the Quantum Financial System (QFS) is fully operational, standing by 24/7 to bypass the corrupt banking systems. The trigger could be pulled at any moment—weekday, weekend, it doesn’t matter. https://x.com/nesaragesara0/status/1868321159671877693?s=46

Tishwash:  Iraqi dollar smuggling returns to the forefront.. Central Bank Governor “beautifies” the bleak picture

Economic researcher, Ziad Al-Hashemi, said that the Central Bank of Iraq suddenly punished 49 Iraqi companies on charges mostly related to smuggling and money laundering through foreign transfers, despite all previous assurances that transfers have become immune to smuggling.

Al-Hashemi considered in a post on the “X” platform, which was followed by “Al-Jarida”, that “this is a procedure that confirms that the Iraqi dollar smuggling system is still very active, and that the Central Bank Governor’s talk about the compliance rate reaching 95% is just rhetoric to beautify the bleak image of the Iraqi banking system.”

He explained that “the 49 companies that were punished are companies operating in various commercial, industrial and service sectors, and this confirms that we are facing a dangerous, broad system that has penetrated the entity of the Iraqi economy and market like cancer!”

He pointed out that "the banking system in Iraq is still heavily penetrated by smuggling and money laundering systems and support for sanctioned entities, and after all these years and promises, it has become not unlikely that there is real collusion and collaboration between the official Iraqi banking system and those smuggling systems."

He continued, "On the other hand, we are waiting for the Syrian documents that will arrive that reveal the size of the illegal trade and the movement of smuggling dollars from Iraq, which the Assad regime used to live on. Then we will learn the details of one of the most important unknown parts of the process of smuggling Iraqi money, which began draining Iraq in 2004 and continues to this day." link

Tishwash:  Iraq out of the list of major countries holding US bonds 

The US Treasury Department announced on Tuesday that Iraq is no longer a major foreign holder of US bonds. 

Shafaq News Agency reviewed the Treasury report for September, which showed that Iraq was not among the top 20 countries holding US bonds, after it was ranked among the top holders last year with a holding of $32.6 billion.

The report indicated that "Japan topped the list of major countries in holding US bonds, with holdings amounting to $1.123 trillion, followed by China in second place with holdings amounting to $772 billion, while the United Kingdom came in third with $764 billion, the Cayman Islands in fourth place with $420 billion, Luxembourg in fifth place with $417 billion, and Canada in sixth place with $370 billion."

The report explained that Saudi Arabia was the only Arab country that maintained its position among the 20 largest holders of US bonds, as its holdings amounted to $143.9 billion.

The report indicated that the total holdings of US bonds by countries around the world in September amounted to 8 trillion and 872 billion dollars.

US bonds are a type of debt instrument issued by the US government to raise money, and many countries buy them as a safe investment. 

In the past years, many Arab and foreign countries, including Iraq, owned large amounts of these bonds, and over time, Iraq's holdings of US bonds decreased until it left the list of the 20 largest countries holding these bonds.   link

Clare:  Iraq and Jordan sign a 5-point joint statement, including support for the outcomes of the Aqaba meetings

Speaker of the House of Representatives Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani and his Jordanian counterpart Ahmed Al-Safadi signed a joint statement of five points today, Tuesday, including support for the outcomes of the Aqaba meetings on Syria and support for efforts aimed at stopping the Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip.

The correspondent of the Iraqi News Agency (INA) said: "A joint statement was issued from the official talks held by Parliament Speaker Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani and his Jordanian counterpart Ahmed Al-Safadi, in the presence of members of the Permanent Bureau in the House of Representatives, the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee, the head of the Jordanian-Iraqi Parliamentary Brotherhood Committee, and members of the Iraqi Council of Representatives representing heads and members of parliamentary committees and blocs.

First - Strengthening coordination between Jordan and Iraq; to confront the challenges imposed by the circumstances of the region, supporting the brothers in Syria and respecting their will and the necessity of protecting the security of Syria and its citizens, preserving the unity of their lands and ensuring the representation of all their components in the political process, and supporting the outcomes of the meetings hosted by the Jordanian city of Aqaba regarding the situation in Syria.

Second: Enhancing the prospects of Jordanian-Iraqi economic cooperation, removing any obstacles that hinder this, and organizing mutual visits of parliamentary committees and chambers of industry and commerce in both countries, which contributes to opening investment windows in various fields, working to establish cultural and educational cooperation agreements, and benefiting from mutual experiences in the sectors of agriculture, energy and construction.

Third: The importance of completing the project to extend the oil pipeline from Basra to Aqaba, which is considered an economic artery for transportation for the benefit of the two countries, and working to support various joint bilateral and tripartite projects with our brothers in Egypt.

Fourth: Supporting all efforts aimed at stopping the brutal Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip, rejecting attempts to displace our brothers in the Strip and the West Bank, working to double efforts to deliver relief supplies to the Strip, rejecting all forms of extremist actions by settlers against our brothers in various Palestinian territories, and rejecting the violations practiced against Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.

Fifth: Coordinating joint parliamentary positions between the Iraqi and Jordanian Houses of Representatives, based on a long and extended history of solid fraternal relations between the two countries and peoples, in a way that contributes to achieving common interests and defending the nation’s issues.”  link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

CRYPTO-SKEPTIC AND SEC BOSS CRENSHAW AXED FROM SENATE RENOMINATION

Outgoing Securities and Exchange Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw will not be renominated to her position following a decision by the Senate Banking Committee. The hearing to nominate Crenshaw and Gordon Ito to the Financial Stability Oversight Council, previously scheduled for Wednesday, December 17, was canceled, according to multiple reports.

The FSOC is a financial system monitoring agency established in 2010 under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

No room for Crenshaw

News of Crenshaw’s canceled vote came after rising opposition to her renomination to the U.S. SEC. Crypto industry leaders and policymakers criticized Democratic senators for attempting to push Crenshaw’s hearing through without proper vetting.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said blockchain proponents would closely watch the eventual vote, and the outcome would likely impact future StandWithCrypto donations to politicians.

Crenshaw will be remembered as an anti-Bitcoin and crypto-skeptic SEC Commissioner throughout her tenure at the agency. She infamously voted against approving spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds, and frequently aided soon-to-be ex-chair Gary Gensler’s staunch hostility toward blockchain businesses.

Crenshaw’s removal from consideration clears the way for President-elect Donald Trump to nominate a new SEC commissioner, potentially shaping the agency’s leadership with officials aligned with his pro-crypto agenda.

Trump has so far pitched former SEC regulator Paul Atkins for SEC chair, pending Senate confirmation. Atkins, a pro-Bitcoin entrepreneur and vocal crypto supporter, would replace Gensler who has announced his resignation effective on Trump’s inauguration.

Last month, fellow Dem SEC Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga also announced plans exit the federal watchdog, citing a need for more family time. The Dem-SEC exodus could hand over agency reins solely to the Republican party. Only GOP Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda remain, with Atkins likely to join soon.

UK PLANS TO PROHIBIT PUBLIC CRYPTO OFFERINGS, EXCEPT VIA EXCHANGES

Today the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published a discussion paper on regimes for crypto-asset admissions and disclosures and market abuse regimes. It also reiterated the UK’s timetable for crypto legislation, targeting 2026. A key feature of the admission and disclosures regime is that public offerings of crypto assets will be banned, with two exceptions.

New public offerings of crypto-assets will only be allowed if via a regulated cryptocurrency exchange, or by restricting the offering to qualified investors. The aim is to put the onus on cryptocurrency exchanges to perform sufficient due diligence on offerings and to have a process for rejecting listings for trading. Exchanges may be subject to prudential requirements.

Legislation is needed because currently UK oversight of crypto only applies to anti money laundering and marketing.

Regarding the disclosures, the FCA is keen to avoid making it so extensive that it imposes disproportionate costs on the preparer. They also note that while consumers need comprehensive information, the quantity shouldn’t be so excessive that it obscures critical details. The paper provides a list of the expected contents.

The regulator is keen to encourage issuers to provide some forward looking statements. While these will carry some liability, it doesn’t want to set the bar too high.

 Hence, in the UK there’s a concept of protected forward looking statements (PFLS), where statements that turn out to be untrue only attract liability if the consumer can establish that the issuer knew the statement was untrue or reckless as to the facts.

The UK has a National Storage Mechanism (NSM), a free online repository of regulated information, including prospectuses from issuers. Information related to crypto-assets admitted to trading on crypto exchanges would be included in the NSM.

Preventing market abuse

Additionally, the paper covers steps to address market abuse. It recognizes that existing traditional market abuse regimes may not be as easy to implement for crypto because of market fragmentation, cross border elements, and in some cases, the lack of a clear issuer (such as Bitcoin).

Nonetheless, legislation will aim to prohibit insider dealing, require the disclosure of inside information by crypto exchanges and prohibit market manipulation.

Inside information is sensitive information that could move crypto prices and hence needs to be disseminated as soon as possible to prevent a few people from taking advantage.

However, the listing of a crypto-asset without the issuer’s request can be problematic. The FCA hopes to address this by putting the onus on the entity requesting the crypto listing to make sure inside information is disseminated promptly. 

For traditional markets, the UK has a regulated information service, which is a centralized announcement service, and it is considering using this for crypto.

For the purposes of the paper, crypto assets include cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. However, a separate consultation is expected on fiat-referenced stablecoins in the future.

There’s a three step process of discussion paper, followed by a consultation and then the final policy stance. The Bank of England and FCA issued a joint discussion paper on stablecoins in late 2023.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

GOLD PRICE LIKELY SUPPRESSED BY CONCENTRATED SHORTING, COULD EXPLODE

At long last, complaints of gold price manipulation and suppression got some respect this week from the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum, a London-based group connected with central banks.

The group published a long paper heralding gold's restoration to the center of the world financial system, "Gold and the New World Disorder," and the paper's chapter titled "Market Disruption -- The Short Squeeze" has this to say about the topic at hand:

"With record demand for gold, much of it from BRICS-related countries, the risks of a squeeze are increasing. This could have several catalysts.

'Bullion banks' holding concentrated gold short positions might need to buy back the metal during another price run.

Analysts have long argued that these short positions suggest market manipulation, citing the disproportionate control held by a few entities.

Lawsuits against banks for manipulating the precious metals markets have yielded some success in recent years. During these lawsuits, some former 'bullion bank' traders have commented about how these gold market strategies might make the market vulnerable to a short squeeze -- either by accident or design.

Academic and other studies provide evidence that 'shorting gold' has historically been used to suppress the gold price, often linked to central bank sales and futures contracts on commodity exchanges.

There is also room for market disruption from imbalances stemming from allocated and unallocated gold accounts, when market participants own just a claim on gold rather than specific bars.

Recent analysis suggests that the unallocated-to-allocated gold ratio at the London Bullion Market Association could range from 20:1 to even 100:1. For every ounce of physical gold backing these accounts, there might be 20 to 100 ounces of unallocated paper gold claims.

This indicates a fractional-reserve system where future claims may far exceed the physical gold available. Predicting the timing of such a squeeze is speculative, given the size of some of these positions and growing world financial and economic tensions.

However, with suspicions rising that some BRICS countries could be considering 'weaponizing' gold against the West, financial markets could be in for a bumpy ride."

Ya think? The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) has been documenting and screaming about this for 25 years. For example, here and here.

If even these "official" guys now can acknowledge not only that the gold market has been heavily influenced by central banks and their bullion bank agents but also that the world has foolishly been depending on a lot of imaginary metal, the racket may be quickly coming to an end -- no thanks to OMFIF itself, which for years has been ignoring all the incriminating information placed in the public domain by GATA.

RLUSD STABLECOIN GOES LIVE: PRICE FLUCTUATES 20% BEFORE STABILIZING

Ripple USD (RLUSD) is officially live on global exchanges. This enterprise-grade stablecoin combines the stability of fiat with the efficiency of blockchain technology. RLUSD will operate on two networks: Ethereum and Ripple’s native XRP Ledger (XRPL). Initially, the price of the stablecoin fluctuated within a 20% range, but it is pegged to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 ratio, ensuring stability over time.

Ripple CTO David Schwartz had previously said that there might be supply shortages at first, causing the price to fluctuate. However, once supply stabilizes, the price will quickly return to around $1.

He also said, “Since the idea of $RLUSD many months ago to launch in a matter of hours, I’ve been looking forward to more use cases realized on the XRPL and more liquidity on-chain with a trusted stablecoin like RLUSD. Countless opportunities are here for devs and users who want the benefits of XRPL, RLUSD and XRP.”

The stablecoin will be available on exchanges like Uphold, Bitso, and CoinMana, with more expected by the end of the year. Ripple’s stablecoin is fully compliant and backed by US dollar deposits, government bonds, and cash equivalents. This provides the stability and transparency that many stablecoins have lacked.

RLUSD aims to bridge the gap between traditional fiat and crypto, offering benefits like instant cross-border payments, liquidity for remittance, and seamless integration with DeFi protocols. This is huge for XRP and the broader crypto ecosystem.

Ripple’s stablecoin will be a game-changer. It’s backed by years of experience in the financial system and offers a level of compliance and trust that’s currently unmatched. With major partners and exchanges expected to adopt it, RLUSD has the potential to challenge dominant stablecoins like Tether and USDC.

Clare:  After an Interruption of More Than 30 Years, Iraq Wins the Chairmanship of the Executive Council of the Arab Investment Company

12/17/2024  Tripoli - WAA

The Iraqi Embassy in Libya announced today, Tuesday, that Iraq won the presidency of the Executive Council of the Arab Investment Company in the year 2025.

The Chargé d'Affaires of the Embassy, ​​Ahmed Al-Sahaf, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that "in a prominent diplomatic step, Iraq succeeded in winning the presidency of the Arab Investment Company during the 63rd session of the Arab Economic and Social Council held in the Jordanian capital, Amman, to return to this position after an absence of 32 years," noting that "Iraq has not been able to obtain the presidency of the aforementioned company's council since 1992."

He explained that "this achievement came as a result of joint coordination between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Industry and within the priorities of the government program of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, and the emphasis of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein on repositioning Iraq's role in regional and international organizations, within the multilateral diplomatic path

As well as the strategic planning and management that the Iraqi Ministry of Industry has been pursuing, and in accordance with productive diplomacy, through intensive efforts led by the Iraqi Embassy in Tripoli, headed by the Chargé d'Affaires, Dr. Ahmed al-Sahaf, who was able to obtain decisive Libyan support to strengthen Iraq's candidacy, through coordination with the Chairman of the Investment Authority in the State of Libya, Dr. Abdul Hakim al-Fitouri, who gave Libya's vote to Iraq, which it needed to secure victory."

He noted that "Iraq's hosting of the company's executive council meetings in 2025 in Baghdad is a step aimed at enhancing Arab cooperation in the fields of industry and infrastructure, and consolidating Iraq's position as a pivotal industrial center."  LINK

Clare:  Get ready.. The exchange rate is set to rise again: The dollar selling platform will stop and “the shock is coming”

12/17/2024  - Baghdad

Economic expert Nasser Al-Tamimi warned, today, Tuesday (December 17, 2024), of a rise in the dollar exchange rate in Iraq in the coming days.

Al-Tamimi told Baghdad Today, "There are real fears in the Iraqi market of the continued rise in the dollar exchange rate after the Central Bank of Iraq stopped working on the platform," indicating that "this matter will constitute a shock, especially at the beginning of implementing the decision and will lead to a rise in the dollar, to increase demand for it in the parallel market."

He added that "after the platform is stopped, most traders, especially small ones, will depend on the parallel market to finance their foreign trade, while continuing to finance trade with Iran and Turkey in dollars, through illegal means," noting that "this is what will lead to the rise, and therefore practical steps must be taken to prevent this by the country's monetary authority, and urgently."

The Central Bank of Iraq revealed on Wednesday (September 4, 2024) the mechanism for ending the electronic platform for foreign transfers, while indicating that the placement of foreign transfer operations and meeting requests for the dollar are on sound paths and consistent with international practices and standards. 

The bank said in a statement received by "Baghdad Today", that "the electronic platform for foreign transfers managed by the Central Bank of Iraq began at the beginning of 2023 as a first stage to reorganize financial transfers in a way that ensures proactive oversight of them instead of subsequent oversight by the Federal Reserve auditing daily transfers, and this was an exceptional procedure as the Federal Reserve does not usually do this, and a gradual shift was planned towards building direct relationships between banks in Iraq and foreign correspondent and approved banks, mediated by an international auditing company to conduct a pre-audit of transfers before they are executed by correspondent banks."

He added that "during the year 2024 and until now, 95% of the transfer process from the electronic platform to the mechanism of correspondent banks directly between it and Iraqi banks has been achieved, which means that only about 5% of it remains within the platform, which will be transferred using the same mechanism before the end of this year and according to the plan," explaining that "some expectations about potential impacts on the exchange rate and transfer operations are baseless, because the process will not be sudden or in one batch at the end of this year, but rather it was originally achieved during the past period with effort and careful follow-up, except for the remaining small percentage that will be completed in the coming short period."

He stressed that "trade with the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, India and China represents about 70% of Iraq's foreign trade as (imports), which prompted the Central Bank of Iraq to find channels for transfer in euros, Chinese yuan, Indian rupees, and Emirati dirhams, through accredited correspondent banks in those countries, and (13) Iraqi banks have actually begun conducting transfer operations with a pre-audit mechanism that has been agreed upon and approved in addition to transfers in dollars."

He continued: "With the provision of channels for personal transfers for legitimate purposes and external purchases through electronic payment channels and international money transfer companies and cash sales to travelers, and the payment of cash dollars for incoming transfers to the parties and purposes specified in the Central Bank's published instructions."

The Central Bank of Iraq stressed that it "put foreign transfer operations and meeting dollar demands on sound tracks consistent with international practices and standards and the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Law," explaining that "providing the aforementioned channels for all purposes at the official dollar price makes this price the true indicator of economic practices, which is proven by the reality of price stability and control of inflation, and any other price traded outside those channels is an abnormal price that those with unorthodox or illegal practices resort to, who avoid official channels in their dealings, and bear the additional costs alone by purchasing at a higher than the official price to delude others with the difference between the official price and others."  LINK

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY: Mr Sammy just told me when Iraq cancels the auctions and the change over occurs to the dinar, that's actually a process of the revaluation.  FRANK:  That is the last step in the process...The question is, when will this happen?  In my strong opinion this is based on the ending of the auction on December 31, 2024 then January 1, 2025 should be a start.  Of course you know this is the Middle East so I'm not offering you a date.  You know the Iranian politicians in Iraq are doing everything to stop it.  If this event wasn't real, they wouldn't be stopping it...

Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY:
We are hearing another gazette is missing from the publication.  They say it's number 485.  They say it was completed but it is not published publicly yet.  We thinking it's because it has the article 12 items related to it... FRANK:  Article 12 is the introduction of a restricted free currency with no sanction to the international world.  It does not mean it has to have value but it means that it can leave your borders and gain value in an international basket.  Everything is set up so perfect.
