The ongoing legal battle between Ripple Labs and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has gained widespread attention, carrying profound implications for the entire cryptocurrency industry. The lawsuit, which began in December 2020, accuses Ripple, along with its CEO Brad Garlinghouse and co-founder Chris Larsen, of raising over $1.3 billion through an unregistered securities offering by selling XRP.
In the midst of this high-stakes legal fight, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), David Schwartz, recently shared his thoughts on the situation. He opened up about the challenges posed by the lawsuit and the broader regulatory scrutiny faced by the crypto industry.

XRP LAWSUIT: RIPPLE CTO REVEALS LEGAL STRUGGLES AND THE SILENCE HE WAS FORCED INTO
The ongoing legal battle between Ripple Labs and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has gained widespread attention, carrying profound implications for the entire cryptocurrency industry. The lawsuit, which began in December 2020, accuses Ripple, along with its CEO Brad Garlinghouse and co-founder Chris Larsen, of raising over $1.3 billion through an unregistered securities offering by selling XRP.
In the midst of this high-stakes legal fight, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), David Schwartz, recently shared his thoughts on the situation. He opened up about the challenges posed by the lawsuit and the broader regulatory scrutiny faced by the crypto industry.
He explained how the legal constraints surrounding the case prevented Ripple from addressing certain truths about the situation. “One of the things that most annoyed me about the lawsuit and the war on crypto was that there were things that were indisputably true that I could not say,” Schwartz said.
While Schwartz acknowledged the frustration of not being able to speak freely, he found some solace in seeing others express these truths on Ripple’s behalf. He added, “It definitely lifted my spirits to see someone else say them when I could not.”
Schwartz said that, despite his willingness to be more open about the matter, he believes discussing the past in detail would not be productive. He explained that, due to legal and strategic constraints, Ripple has been unable to directly combat misinformation, relying on the support of the XRP community, often referred to as the “XRP Army,” to help fill that gap.
Ripple Vs SEC Latest Update:
Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton has allowed Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse to keep some court documents sealed. This includes documents about judgments and expert testimony. Both Ripple and the SEC can keep these details private as the case moves to the next stage, following a rule to protect sensitive information.

U.S. SENATE TO LAUNCH CRYPTOCURRENCY SUBCOMMITTEE, LUMMIS TAPPED AS CHAIR
In a significant move for the crypto industry, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is set to create its first-ever subcommittee focused exclusively on cryptocurrency.
The U.S. Senate Banking Committee, under the leadership of Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), is poised to establish a dedicated cryptocurrency subcommittee to advance discussions on digital asset regulation and industry oversight, according to a report by Fox News.
The formation of this subcommittee, modeled after a similar House panel created in 2023, marks a pivotal step toward a more structured approach to crypto legislation at the federal level.
A Senate aide told Fox News that Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, a staunch advocate for cryptocurrency, is the tentative choice to chair this groundbreaking panel.
‘The selection of Lummis, pending a committee vote next Thursday, signals a shift in the Senate's approach to digital assets. Alongside her nomination, the subcommittee members, representing both Republican and Democratic sides, will also be finalized through the same voting process.
Lummis, known for her vocal support of Bitcoin, has described the asset as "freedom money" and has advocated for its potential to hedge against inflation and enhance financial independence.
She previously proposed a plan for the US to acquire a significant stake in the total Bitcoin supply through a 1-million-unit purchase program over a set period. "Establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve to bolster the U.S. dollar with a digital hard asset will secure our nation's standing as the global financial leader for decades to come," Lummis said at the time.
Her leadership could steer the subcommittee toward developing a more balanced regulatory framework, fostering innovation while ensuring market integrity.
Senator Tim Scott first hinted at the possibility of forming a crypto-focused subcommittee during the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium last August.
“Wouldn't it be kind of cool if we had a subcommittee on the Banking Committee... so that we bring more light to the conversation, more hearings on the industry, so that we get things done faster?” Scott remarked, highlighting his vision for streamlined legislative action.
This move comes as Scott replaces outgoing Chair Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who maintained a more critical stance on cryptocurrency. Brown frequently called for stricter oversight, citing concerns about crypto's role in enabling illicit activities and circumventing sanctions. The change in leadership, coupled with the creation of a dedicated subcommittee, could lead to a friendlier regulatory environment for digital assets under the new administration.
Notably, the subcommittee will include other crypto-friendly lawmakers such as Senator Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) and newly elected Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), both vocal supporters of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Moreno, who defeated Brown in the November elections, has vowed to champion crypto-friendly policies in the Senate.

Clare: Among them is the Iraqi Elina Habba.. Trump honors his supporters from the leaders of the Arab and Muslim community
1/10/2025
US President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with leaders of the Arab and Muslim community in the United States and honor them, including the Iraqi Elina Habba, the lawyer who was known for being one of Trump's defenders and one of his most prominent supporters in the elections.
Leaders of the Arab and Muslim American community revealed that a meeting will be held between President-elect Donald Trump and his Vice President, Geddy Vance, with community leaders in Washington, DC, two days before the inauguration of the president-elect for a new term on January 20.
The leaders explained to the "Erem News" website that "this meeting is an embodiment of the commitment that Trump made to the community during his election campaign in Michigan last fall."
They pointed out that "the meeting will be a celebration of Trump's success in winning the elections, in addition to renewing the emphasis on the special relationship that has linked Arab and Muslim American voters to the Republican Party in recent years."
The leaders revealed that the list of invitees to this meeting will include, in addition to officials of Arab and Muslim origins who were appointed to the new Trump administration, community leaders who were in the front lines of supporting Trump’s campaign in an attempt to win the votes of the Arab and Muslim community in Michigan and the rest of the US states.
After announcing his victory in the elections, President Trump took the initiative to appoint Americans of Arab and Muslim origins to senior positions in his new administration.
Leaders explained to "Erem News" that there are other appointments on the way for more Arab Americans in the Trump administration in the days and weeks that will follow the president's swearing-in.
Among the names to be honored at the meeting are Trump's senior Middle East adviser, Massad Boulos, ambassador-designate to Turkey Tom Barrack, Iraqi-born lawyer Elina Habba, adviser to the president, and the appointed "Doctor of the Nation" of Jordanian origin, Janet Nesheiwat, in addition to Muslim physician Mehmet Oz and Egyptian-born physician Martha McCary, who was appointed director of the Food and Drug Administration.

The Fed will End Quantitative Tightening this Year
Heresy Financial: 1-10-2025
The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy has been a dominant force in the economic landscape in recent years, and its actions in 2025 will be closely watched. One key development anticipated is the cessation of quantitative tightening (QT), a process aimed at reducing the massive balance sheet the Fed accumulated during the pandemic.
Understanding the path to this point, along with the factors at play, is crucial for gauging the economic outlook.
To appreciate the current situation, we must look back to 2020. In response to the devastating economic impact of the CoviD-19 pandemic, the Fed engaged in unprecedented monetary easing. This included slashing interest rates to near zero and unleashing an enormous program of quantitative easing (QE), effectively “printing money” by purchasing trillions of dollars in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities.
This infusion of liquidity was meant to stabilize markets, support employment, and prevent a deeper economic collapse. While it achieved those goals to a large degree, it also laid the foundation for future challenges, including inflation.
As inflation surged in 2022 and 2023, the Fed pivoted sharply, embarking on a path of aggressive interest rate hikes and quantitative tightening (QT). QT involves allowing maturing assets on the Fed’s balance sheet to roll off and, in some instances, selling assets directly into the market. This process reduces the money supply and aims to cool down the economy and bring inflation under control.
However, QT hasn’t been without its complications. As the Fed reduces its holdings of Treasury bonds, it indirectly puts pressure on the government to borrow more from the open market, potentially raising the cost of borrowing for the US Treasury. This adds a layer of complexity to the financial system.
The Fed also maintains a Reverse Repo (RRP) Facility, a tool that allows financial institutions to temporarily park excess cash with the Fed in exchange for securities. Historically, it served as a safety valve, absorbing excess liquidity in the system.
However, in recent years, the RRP facility has seen a significant surge in utilization due to the vast amount of liquidity floating around as a result of the prior QE programs. As QT continues, the question remains whether the RRP will continue to play the same role or if the liquidity it absorbs will eventually dry up.
The central question surrounding the end of QT is: where is the liquidity coming from? The massive QE operations of 2020 created an unprecedented amount of money in the financial system. While QT is intended to drain that liquidity, the process unfolds slowly.
The persistence of the RRP utilization suggests that there’s still ample cash available. However, as the Fed continues to unwind its balance sheet, the system will become progressively leaner. This process will influence the cost of borrowing, and possibly the level of risk assets people are willing to take.
The move by the Fed to conclude quantitative tightening in 2025 marks a significant shift in monetary policy. While the immediate impact might be a reduction in upward pressure on interest rates, the lingering effects of 2020’s “money printing” and the complexities of unwinding such a large balance sheet mean that the economic path ahead remains uncertain.
Investors and economists will be closely scrutinizing the Fed’s actions and the resulting market responses as 2025 unfolds. The lessons learned from this period will undoubtedly shape the future of monetary policy for years to come.

SEC’S GENSLER SAYS MOST CRYPTO PROJECTS ARE DOOMED AS RIPPLE APPEAL DEADLINE NEARS

▪️Outgoing SEC Chair Gary Gensler highlights scams in crypto, calls for stronger regulation as he prepares to step down.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
SEC’S GENSLER SAYS MOST CRYPTO PROJECTS ARE DOOMED AS RIPPLE APPEAL DEADLINE NEARS
▪️Gary Gensler warns crypto market still rife with fraud, says many projects won’t survive in his final interview as SEC Chair.
▪️Outgoing SEC Chair Gary Gensler highlights scams in crypto, calls for stronger regulation as he prepares to step down.
Gary Gensler, the outgoing chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, shared his thoughts on regulating the fast-growing crypto market. While he acknowledged that crypto is still a small part of the overall financial markets, he said that it’s full of bad actors and scams.
Under his leadership, the SEC has filed about 100 enforcement actions in the past four years, compared to his predecessor Jay Clayton’s 80. Gensler believes that the crypto market is still struggling with fraud, with many projects acting like risky investments that may not survive.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Gensler said,
In this field, it’s rife with bad actors.” He then broke down the crypto market into two parts, saying, “The public knows a lot about Bitcoin, which, depending on its market value, is two-thirds to 80% of the market value of crypto.
Gensler pointed out that there are “10,000 to 15,000 projects raising money from the public.” Many of these projects, he believes, are simply speculative investments, “hoping for a better future.”
He explained, “I’ve been around finance for over four decades, and everything in the markets trades on a mixture of fundamentals and sentiment.” However, he added, “At any given time, I’ve never seen a field that’s so much wrapped up in sentiment and not so much about fundamentals.”
Gensler Says Crypto Projects ‘Won’t Survive’
He also warned, “Many of these 10,000 to 15,000 projects will not survive. They’re like venture capital investments. They’re not going to survive.” Gensler pointed to the existence of “small pump and dump schemes” that have caused problems in the industry. Reflecting on past events, he said, “We’ve lived through a few years where they became notorious, but they’re in jail now.”
Despite the growing number of enforcement actions, Gensler thinks that the crypto market is still not complying with the rules. He sees his role as ensuring that the market works without fraud, manipulation, and misinformation. Gensler is set to resign on January 20 and Paul Atkins will serve as the SEC Chair next.

PRO-CRYPTO CFTC BOSS, SUBCOMMITTEE RUMORED AS TRUMP INAUGURATION NEARS
New reports suggest the US Senate Banking Committee is looking to create its first crypto subcommittee, while Trump is reportedly eyeing a pro-crypto CFTC commissioner to take the agency’s helm.
The US Senate Banking Committee is reportedly set to create its first-ever crypto subcommittee, while a pro-crypto commissioner is now a top pick to replace the outgoing chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, according to two reports.
The two reports — seen as positive developments for the crypto industry — come less than two weeks before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, set for Jan. 20.
According to a report from FOX Business on Jan. 9, following a Punchbowl News report on Jan. 8, the US Senate Banking Committee’s new chair, Republican Senator Tim Scott, has made the creation of the subcommittee a top priority and plans to replicate the House Financial Services Committee’s model, which introduced a crypto subcommittee in 2023.
Two Senate aides told FOX that Scott has put forward Senator Cynthia Lummis to chair the subcommittee, with a vote on her approval to happen in the next few days. Lummis, a longtime crypto supporter, has recently echoed Trump’s push for a strategic Bitcoin.
Trump has made sweeping promises to rein in crypto regulation by enforcement and turn the US into a “crypto capital.” The Senate Banking Committee is the key overseer of financial agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and of federal monetary policy.
A memo seen by FOX said Senators Bernie Moreno, Dave McCormick, Thom Tillis and Bill Hagerty were being considered for the new crypto subcommittee. They are all “strongly supportive” of crypto, according to the digital assets lobby group Stand With Crypto.
It is not known which Democrats might be joining the subcommittee, but Senator Elizabeth Warren, a vocal crypto skeptic, is the party’s most senior member of the Senate Banking Committee
In 2024, the House passed a key crypto bill known as FIT21 that was created by the House Financial Services crypto subcommittee. It would hand greater regulatory control to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The bill is currently awaiting action in the Senate.
Mersinger tipped to lead CFTC
Meanwhile, Unchained reported on Jan. 9 that five people close to the matter said CFTC Commissioner Summer Mersinger has emerged as a leading choice to chair the agency, as current CFTC chair Rostin Behnam said he’d be stepping down when Trump takes office.
Mersinger has overtaken ex-CFTC commissioner and a16z policy head Brian Quintenz for the job, as she’s seen as someone who could pass a Senate confirmation. She was a staffer for Senate Majority Leader John Thune for 12 years.
As she’s already a commissioner, Trump could appoint her to a temporary chair role while the Senate deliberates on her confirmation.
Mersinger has made crypto-supportive comments, telling a Blockchain conference in November that she was “uncomfortable” that the CFTC was “kind of setting some sort of policy through our enforcement cases.”
Trump is set to take office on Jan. 20, officially giving Republicans full control of the government after the party picked up a majority of Senate seats and kept its House majority in November’s elections. The new Congress kicked off on Jan. 3.

IOTA INVITES DEVELOPERS TO APPLY FOR $10M IN SEASON 2 GRANTS
▪️IOTA’s Season 2 grant program aims to empower builders aligned with IOTA’s vision of sustainability and decentralization.
▪️Prospective applicants can submit proposals via the IOTA Grants website, with projects evaluated based on scalability, usefulness, safety, alignment with funding goals, and long-term viability
The IOTA Ecosystem DLT Foundation unveiled its Season 2 grant program. The IOTA Grants Season 2 has committed to offering $10 million in funding and fostering innovation within the Web3 ecosystem. The initiative looking to empower Web3 builders and innovators focused on projects closely aligned with its vision of sustainability and thriving within a decentralized and free ecosystem.
IOTA Grants Season 2 Focus Areas & Funding Goals
It caters to three core areas, namely open-source development, education, and events, for supporting projects. These categories advance IOTA’s ecosystem by covering key aspects of Web3 growth.
For context, open-Source Development promotes the development of tools, utilities, and public goods that increase user experience.
Moreover, the foundation has targeted education to reduce the complexity of multi-layered technology to reach everyday users. Meanwhile, events that promote community-driven activities like hackathons and workshops are prioritized.
“We’re here to support you on this journey,” the IOTA Foundation stated. They added:
Whether you’re accelerating adoption through real-world applications, planning to utilize our EVM framework, or shaping the future of the IOTA Rebased network, our grants are designed to foster innovation and creativity across the entire spectrum.
Currently, one of the key areas of focus has been the launch of the IOTA rebased protocol. The IOTA Rebased protocol is reportedly gearing up for its mainnet re-launch in early 2025, reported CNF. On the social media platform X, Michael Atlan emphasized that this re-launch positions IOTA for broader real-world adoption
Success Of Season 1 Grants
The end of Season 1 of the IOTA Grants program has been on an upbeat note since it attracted quality talent and great projects. Altogether, there were 144 applications, from which 32 were funded amounting to $3.47 million. The process had to be momentarily halted because it was overwhelmed with applications.
The Foundation has reflected on the previous season by highlighting productive outcomes. In a blog post, the team wrote,
The first season proved highly productive, bringing exceptional talent and innovation into the IOTA ecosystem.
Hence, applying for Season 2 is relatively simple. Anyone can submit a proposal by logging onto the IOTA Grants website along with guidelines on the funding. The applicants would be interviewed by the IOTA Grant Committee, which includes members of the IOTA Foundation.
Projects are rated along six criteria including alignment with funding goals, scalability, usefulness, safety, expertise of the grantee, and long-term viability.
The Foundation went ahead to inform that its evaluation process is quite transparent, assuring that all funding goes only to projects whose potential to alter the ecosystem can be maximally realized.
IOTA Grants Season 2 builds on the momentum of its predecessor and is seeking even more innovative ideas. “Your ideas have the power to drive positive change in the ecosystem, and the IOTA Ecosystem DLT Foundation is here to support you,” the Foundation encouraged.
The IOTA Foundation added that it’s excited to work with developers and visionaries to build the future of Web3. Thus, prospective candidates can visit the IOTA Grants website for more information or to apply.

Militia Man There's some people out there that talk about the fact that the dollar auctions haven't changed. That's wrong...you should already know this by now, it's called the new reinforcement mechanism. Articles specifically tell you the dollar auctions...are no longer, at all. Everybody that is going to get a dollar from anywhere in Iraq is going to come from this new mechanism and that's a fact.
Frank26 The auctions have metamorphosed, they have evolved...they have progressed to what is now called international foreign currency transfers and it's being done by private banks...You think the currency auctions that once existed that Iran was taking advantage of are still active? ...You're wrong. You're ignorant...Transfers, no longer auctions. This is not taking a currency and converting it into any other currency. This is moving a currency in and out of the country they could never do before. Don't you understand the value of that? Don't you understand how important that is for the monetary reform? Ain't got nothing to do with the CBI. It has to do with the private banks exchanging between each other and across the borders.
My Bubble Meter Is at an All-Time High: Black Swans to Watch for in 2025 – Steve Hanke
Daniela Cambone: 1-9-2024
"The stock market is in bubble territory... and that signals danger," warns Steve Hanke, a renowned economist and professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University.
In this episode of the 2025 Outlook Series, Hanke sits down with Daniela Cambone to discuss the global economy, trade policies, and the key risks shaping the year ahead.
Prof. Hanke predicts a significant slowdown in the U.S. economy in 2025, citing the contraction of the money supply and the pace at which it grew as key factors. He also critiques President-elect Donald Trump's mercantilist trade policies, arguing that viewing trade as a "zero-sum game" will ultimately harm the U.S. economy.
“It’s immoral for the government to be interfering with you and I who are voluntarily agreeing to you sell,” he states. Turning his attention to Europe, Hanke highlights serious concerns about Germany's faltering economy, calling it "in the tank big time" and cautioning about its potential to destabilize the broader European economy.

Tishwash: Economist: Electronic financial transactions save Iraq from cash shortage
Economic researcher Diaa Abdul Karim said on Thursday that the shift towards electronic financial transactions and generalizing this to all government and private transactions will save the country from a shortage of cash.
Abdul Karim told Al-Maalouma, “Most countries in the world, and Europe in particular, have moved towards electronic financial transactions, such that the culture of dealing with electronic cards in buying and selling in various sectors has been created in society, and even With the decline of its economy, it will not suffer financially because its financial transactions are electronic.”
He added, "These transactions make it unnecessary for governments to print currency continuously, as this process is financially costly. Iraq prints some denominations domestically and other denominations of currency are printed abroad, and printing them costs the financial value of this currency."
He explained that "the move towards electronic transactions requires intensive education in order to withdraw the cash mass from the street and to transform transactions, especially large amounts, through electronic cards. Consequently, the citizen will not be forced to withdraw large amounts from banks in order to buy a property, a car, etc., but will use his card to transfer money to the other party, which ensures the safety of financial transactions and prevents the cash mass from being wasted and taken out of the banking framework.” link

" He added that "the meeting discussed ways to expand the frameworks of cooperation and coordination between the Council of Representatives and the Presidency of the Republic in order to legislate and approve laws that have a direct impact on the lives of citizens."
He continued: "The meeting also discussed the efforts made by the government at the service level and the importance of supporting the reconstruction process and rehabilitating and developing the infrastructure in a way that achieves the aspirations of the people for a safe and stable life." link

Tishwash: Kurdistan Region President to visit Baghdad next week
Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani is scheduled to travel to Baghdad next week, an official said.
“Barzani will participate in a meeting of the State Administration Coalition (SAC),” Dilshad Shihab, spokesperson for the Kurdistan Region Presidency, told Shafaq News Agency.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
HOW THE BITCOIN FREEDOM ACT COULD SHIELD OKLAHOMANS FROM INFLATION?
In November 2024, the US inflation rate grew sharply from 2.6% to 2.7%. In May 2020, it was just 0.1%. In June 2022, it touched a peak of 9.1%. This inflation pattern has adversely affected the value of the US dollar. Inflation, thus, is something that determines the quality of life a working-class professional leads. Recent developments indicate that US states are keen to protect people from the threat of inflation.
The Bitcoin Freedom Act introduced in the Oklahoma law-making house by Senator Dusty Deevers is the latest example. How much can this law impact the United States society?

HOW THE BITCOIN FREEDOM ACT COULD SHIELD OKLAHOMANS FROM INFLATION?
In November 2024, the US inflation rate grew sharply from 2.6% to 2.7%. In May 2020, it was just 0.1%. In June 2022, it touched a peak of 9.1%. This inflation pattern has adversely affected the value of the US dollar. Inflation, thus, is something that determines the quality of life a working-class professional leads. Recent developments indicate that US states are keen to protect people from the threat of inflation.
The Bitcoin Freedom Act introduced in the Oklahoma law-making house by Senator Dusty Deevers is the latest example. How much can this law impact the United States society?
What is the Bitcoin Freedom Act?
The act proposes that Oklahomans should be provided a chance to choose whether they want to receive their wages in Bitcoin or not. It also submits that businesses should be allowed to accept payments in Bitcoin.
Why is the Bitcoin Freedom Act Significant?
At the start of 2024, the US inflation rate stood at just 3.1%. In March, it touched a peak of 3.5%. Though in November it came down to 2.7%, it was far higher than the 1.2% inflation recorded in the same month in 2020.
Growing inflation is one of the most serious threats the US economy is facing right now. Rising inflation means falling purchasing power.
Bitcoin can save people from losing their purchasing power to inflation, as its total supply is fixed, and thus is unaffected by the threat of devaluation unlike traditional currencies.
Oklahoma’s Leadership in Financial Innovation
The introduction of the bill is likely to make a serious impact across the United States. The action has lifted the state to the celebrated position of innovation-friendly economies. It may encourage many to enter the world of financial innovation confidently.
The Future of the Bitcoin Freedom Act
The political stance against the cryptocurrency industry shifted when Republican candidate Donald Trump who projected himself as a pro-crypto candidate, defeated Democratic candidate Kamala Harris who represented a crypto-skeptic regime, in the US presidential election.
In the latest election, the Republican Party received a massive majority in Oklahoma, a US state that has emerged as a stronghold of Republicans, especially since 2011.
The Bitcoin Freedom Act, also known as SB325, is expected to be discussed in the 60th legislative session of the 60th legislature. Reports say that the session will begin on February 3, 2025.
In conclusion, the Bitcoin Freedom Act is more than legislation – it is a step toward financial empowerment and innovation. By embracing Bitcoin, Oklahoma is securing its place in the future of finance.

BRICS NEWS: BRICS FAIL TO CHALLENGE US DOLLAR IN 2024: CAN THEY THIS YEAR?
In one of the biggest developments of the last two years, the BRICS bloc has sought to challenge the dominance of the US dollar. Although its de-dollarization process persisted in 2024, the economic alliance has failed to make a significant impact. Now, all eyes are on if it stands a chance in 2025.
According to data from TradingView, a majority of major currencies have fallen against the US dollar. Indeed, the metrics show that the greenback ensured its strength through a resilient American economy. Contrarily, economic activity slowing in China and the Eurozone failed to create an environment for thriving de-dollarization.
US Dollar Ends 2024 Unmoved: Can BRICS De-Dollarization Take Hold This Year?
First created in 2001, the BRICS economic alliance has grown into a legitimate global force. The bloc has continued to expand, although its geopolitical implications have become a point of contention. Amid its increased de-dollarization efforts, the group has proved no match for the strength of the West.
Recent data show that the BRICS collective failed to truly challenge the US dollar in 2024, with its eyes now on succeeding in 2025. Over the course of the last twelve months, the Chinese yuan and Indian rupee both fell 2.8% against the dollar. Additionally, the Russian ruble fell 18.6% against the greenback.
A big reason for the outcome is the United States’ ability to continue its economic recovery. The country’s inflation has fallen from its 40-year high to settle just above the Central Bank’s target. Throughout the last year, it has become one of the best-recovering countries from the 2020 pandemic.
That hasn’t proven true for the rest of the world. Now, all eyes are on the incoming Trump administration. The US President-elect has already issued a stark warning to the BRICS bloc and those seeking to ditch the US dollar. However, his policies could have massive implications. Whether or not the greenback is challenged remains to be seen, but such a challenge would certainly come with a cost.

Clare: Al-Nusairi: Explains the new mechanism for external transfers after the platform is closed
1/9/2025 Baghdad
Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi explained that closing the electronic platform on 12/31/2024, which was used by the Central Bank for prior auditing and controlling the transparency of foreign transfers and ensuring their arrival to the final beneficiary and overcoming suspicions of money laundering and terrorist financing, is not, as some believe, closing the platform is a closure of foreign transfers, but rather a change in the mechanisms to achieve fluidity and speed by reducing the links.
Al-Nusairi said in a televised interview that it is not normal for the Central Bank or the US Federal Reserve to carry out executive procedures, but rather the task of central banks is supervision and control, and the electronic platform was a stage in this direction, and now we have reached the stage that is practiced in the countries of the world according to international banking standards through the direct relationship between local banks and correspondent banks.
He added that transfers in other currencies will enable Iraqi banks that do not have correspondents in American banks to conduct their transfers through correspondent banks in other countries such as China, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, India, Europe, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. This will lead to expanding the number of Iraqi banks that participate in foreign transfers and reduce pressure on other banks.
He stressed that the exchange rate announced as the parallel rate does not reflect the price reality, firstly because Iraq does not have the parallel market situation, which is only achieved when it has sources of dollars and currencies other than the Central Bank, such as private sector exports, remittances from residents abroad, tourism, etc., so it has exchange rates that correspond to the official exchange rate at the Central Bank, and that speculation in dollars on the black market is punishable by law.
Secondly, limiting the sale of cash dollars to travelers and through a strict mechanism has made cash dollar sales at a minimum level, and therefore what is in circulation is what remains with travelers. We should look at the price at which the Central Bank covers all external operations, including imports and personal transfers for the purposes of study and treatment abroad and legitimate purposes, which explains the stability of prices in light of the current inflation rate, which is about 3.1% less than the inflation rates in Arab, regional and neighboring countries. This means that the Central Bank has achieved a basic objective of monetary policy.
Al-Nusairi expressed his surprise that some people calculate the banks’ revenues from selling the dollar by measuring the difference between the market price and the official price, which is a big mistake because the banks do not transfer at the market price but at the official price monitored by the Central Bank
. He explained that the foreign currency selling window is dedicated to securing the Iraqi dinar for the purposes of the Ministry of Finance’s operating budget and to enhance the banks’ balances in foreign currencies for external transfers and to cover the cash dollar for travelers and for other legitimate needs of citizens.

Jeff Up Until, through the end of September...was the government's busiest time period for having and holding sessions of parliament, getting record steps done, all in preparation for them to revalue. Since September they only got a few odds and ends done. Why so little? Because they have a rate change date and they are working around that date...awaiting the revaluation...In this month of January you're witnessing them on a small level starting to implement their banking reforms via what they're doing through the currency auctions. That's another critical preparation step for them to revalue the currency...
PompeyPeter They won't carry on until they have something out on Forex. Let's not forget the importance of that because that's attached to WTO. I think that's an enormous indicator of where we're at. They've got to pull the plug. They've got to show that rate internationally on Forex even if they show 1310, which they won't because they'll implode economically, but they've got to put something up on that board. They've got to show the international world the currency...It's got to be up there.

SOUTH KOREA TO ALLOW CORPORATE FIRMS TO INVEST IN CRYPTO: WHAT’S NEXT?

SOUTH KOREA TO ALLOW CORPORATE FIRMS TO INVEST IN CRYPTO: WHAT’S NEXT?
▪️FSC’s new policy allows businesses to participate in digital asset investments legally.
▪️FSC proposes raising stock ownership limits for companies from 5% to 15%.
▪️Over 30% of South Koreans actively trade cryptocurrencies, indicating significant market growth.
South Korea is preparing for a big shift in its approach to cryptocurrency. The Financial Services Commission (FSC) has announced plans to let corporations invest in digital assets. This decision could create new opportunities for businesses and give the country’s crypto industry a significant boost.
New Rules for Corporate Investments
Right now, companies in South Korea face strict rules on cryptocurrency investments, including challenges in opening real-name accounts. To change this, the FSC plans to start by allowing non-profit organizations to invest in digital assets under a regulated framework.
FSC Director Kwon Dae-young highlighted the importance of clear standards for listing cryptocurrencies and enforcing rules for virtual asset exchanges. This initial phase will help create a safer and more structured environment for investments.
Building a Safer Crypto Market
The FSC is also working on broader rules for issuing and trading digital assets. The goal is to make the process more transparent and secure while supporting innovation in the market.
To protect investors, the FSC plans to limit market participation to trustworthy companies. This includes introducing shareholder eligibility checks, requiring social credit ratings, and setting stricter guidelines for risky assets like meme coins.
Beyond cryptocurrency, the FSC is looking to make other financial reforms. One key proposal is raising the limit on how much stock companies can own in non-subsidiaries, increasing it from 5% to 15%. This change aims to give businesses more flexibility and control.
South Korea’s Growing Crypto Influence
South Korea’s decision to embrace corporate crypto investments shows its growing recognition of digital assets. While the global market faces challenges, the country is positioning itself as a leader in innovation.
Earlier, CoinPedia reported that the Bank of Korea, established under the Virtual Asset User Protection Act, disclosed that more than 30% of South Korea’s population is now engaged in crypto trading.
By opening its doors to corporate crypto investments, South Korea is setting a precedent that could inspire other nations to follow suit.

DOJ CLEARED TO SELL $6.5B SILK ROAD BITCOIN – NO MORE U.S. BTC RESERVE?
Wallets holding the seized BTC from Silk Road were intact at the time of writing.
▪️DOJ has reportedly approved the sale of seized 69K BTC, which Trump planned to repurpose for strategic reserve.
▪️No seized BTC had been moved from key wallets as of this writing.
Crypto Twitter has been abuzz with speculation that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) greenlighted the sale of 69K Bitcoins [BTC], worth $6.5B, seized from Silk Road.
The update was first shared by media publisher DB News, citing a U.S. official.
In an X (formerly Twitter) post dated the 9th of January, the publisher stated,
“The U.S. Govt has been given the greenlight to liquidate 69,000 BTC ($6.5B) from Silk Road, an official confirmed to DB News today. Interesting situation less than 2 weeks away from the new admin who vowed to not sell.”
What’s next for U.S. BTC strategic reserve?
Market sentiment has always been impacted whenever updates on the U.S. government’s movement of BTC surface.
Given that President-elect Donald Trump pledged to form a U.S. BTC strategic reserve (SBR) using the above seized BTC, potential actions are even more scrutinized by the market.
Some community members speculated that the seized BTC had already been sold through a ‘credit line.’ One user claimed,
“The “seized BTC” that was meant to be used for a ‘strategic reserve’ [under the Trump administration] was sold off already, with a credit line sanctioned by Coinbase.”
Some flagged the update as FUD. In fact, Arkham data showed no balance decline in wallets linked to seized BTC at press time.
However, if true, the sale could happen before Trump’s presidential inauguration. According to some market experts, even such a scenario wouldn’t massively detour BTC.
Glassnode founders clarified that such a sale wouldn’t happen through exchanges but through OTC (over-the-counter) markets. So, it won’t suppress the king coin.
On his part, CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju downplayed the panic, reinforcing that the potential $6.5B sell-off could be smoothly absorbed by the market. He said,
“Last year, $379B entered the market based on realized cap—roughly $1B per day. The U.S. govt selling $6.5B could be absorbed in just a week. Do not panic.”
All said, prediction sites like Polymarket and Kalshi priced a +40% chance of a U.S. BTC strategic reserve in 2025.
However, at press time, the odds of that happening in the first 100 days of the new administration declined from 34% to 27%.

We are Heading into Another Round of Inflation
We are Heading into Another Round of Inflation
Palisades Gold Radio: 1-8-2025
In a recent episode of Palisades Gold Radio, host Tom Bodrovics welcomed back financial expert Tom Luongo, the prolific voice behind the “Gold, Goats, and Guns” newsletter and blog, along with his roles at Newsmax Ultimate Wealth Report and Financial Intelligence Report.
The discussion was a deep dive into the complex interplay of political shifts, economic instability, and the potential paths forward, offering a bracing perspective on the global landscape.
We are Heading into Another Round of Inflation
Palisades Gold Radio: 1-8-2025
In a recent episode of Palisades Gold Radio, host Tom Bodrovics welcomed back financial expert Tom Luongo, the prolific voice behind the “Gold, Goats, and Guns” newsletter and blog, along with his roles at Newsmax Ultimate Wealth Report and Financial Intelligence Report.
The discussion was a deep dive into the complex interplay of political shifts, economic instability, and the potential paths forward, offering a bracing perspective on the global landscape.
Bodrovics and Luongo wasted no time in dissecting the legacy of Donald Trump’s first term, particularly focusing on the long-lasting impact of his judicial appointments. Luongo emphasized the significance of these conservative placements, highlighting the ongoing struggle by Democrats to maintain control in certain jurisdictions. This sets the stage for future legal battles and demonstrates the enduring legacy of presidential administrations.
The conversation then pivoted to Europe, where Luongo painted a concerning picture of economic instability. He pointed to the Euro’s alarming freefall, the volatility in the UK, the widening US-German bond spreads, and the ongoing tensions between the US and Russia as indicators of a continent teetering on the brink. This instability, Luongo argued, has profound implications for the global financial system.
Looking ahead, the conversation turned to potential strategies for navigating these complex economic waters. Luongo explored the possibilities for Trump, should he return to the Oval Office, to weaken the dollar. He suggested options including protectionist tariffs, deregulation, and lowering the cost of capital, all designed to spur domestic growth. He also delved into the volatile nature of markets due to consistent central bank interventions, touching on the potential ramifications of inflation, heightened political tensions, and even anticipated political shifts in Canada.
The discussion didn’t shy away from the crucial issue of oil, with Luongo expressing his belief that oil prices are significantly undervalued, causing ripples across various economic sectors. He further explored the potential of Judy Shelton’s unconventional idea of using gold as collateral on the yield curve, posing it as a potential remedy for the nation’s fiscal challenges. This innovative idea offers a glimpse into the kind of outside-the-box thinking that may be required to address the current financial landscape.
Throughout the conversation, Luongo maintained a solution-oriented approach, urging listeners to shift their focus from the problems themselves towards finding pathways for resolution. He then drew a distinction between the economic policies implemented under the Powell-led Federal Reserve during both the Trump and Harris administrations, highlighting the shifts in approach brought on by different administrations.
The final takeaway from Luongo was a stark one, a prediction that 2025 will bring a “new type of crazy,” suggesting that the economic and political turbulence witnessed in recent years is likely to intensify.
This conversation between Tom Bodrovics and Tom Luongo was not just a report on current events; it was a call to action. It urged listeners to understand the underlying forces shaping the global economy and to prepare for the potential for further instability, highlighting the importance of informed decision-making in the face of an uncertain future.
Luongo’s analysis, delivered with his characteristic boldness and insight, provided a valuable framework for understanding the complex economic landscape and the challenges that lie ahead. The episode serves as a crucial reminder that awareness, critical thinking, and a focus on solutions are essential tools for navigating the turbulent waters of the modern financial world.

These transfers are linked to international banks...No more being done by auctions of the CBI but by this new system in our banks. FRANK: This is fantastic because these are the preparations. FIREFLY: We are linked to the world!
Jeff What they're doing is selling US dollars to pay for and fund imports coming into Iraq...What they've done with this new transfer system is they've made backend changes that are not visual...What they've done...is transition so that they can allow their banks to do these international transfers...There's only so much they can do with banking reforms at this time until the rate physically changes. Again, what they're doing is they're positioning the banks to...do foreign transfers with the US dollars...now instead of that money being sent directly from the central bank it's being routed and sent from the local banks within Iraq. That prepares Iraq to be ready towards going international...
