Jaime Carrasco: Gold at the Heart of the New President's Agenda?

Jaime Carrasco: Gold at the Heart of the New President's Agenda?

Palisades Gold Radio:  2-3-2025

In this episode on Palisades Gold Radio, Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Jaime Carrasco. Jaime is Senior Portfolio Manager & Senior Investment Advisor at Harbourfront Wealth Management.

They discuss the global economic landscape and the significance of gold in today's context.

Carrasco expresses his belief that Trump's election and proposed policies could lead to a reset of debt and potential devaluation of US dollars held in treasuries around the world

He emphasizes the importance of understanding history, as previous periods saw significant increases in dividends from gold mining companies during times of monetary instability.

Carrasco encourages investors to consider gold as a hedge against inflation, purchasing power loss, and political instability. He also recommends silver mining companies due to their current undervaluation compared to gold.

Central banks are increasingly buying gold as a safe haven asset, and Trump's actions are aimed at rebuilding America for Americans, possibly necessitating a full reset.

The location of US gold reserves and geopolitical issues like China's policy in Latin America, Europe's response to immigration, and the US-China-Russia alignment are significant sociological factors affecting the global economy.

Despite the current uncertainty, Jaime advocates for a decentralized world where nations can thrive and encourages investors to consider gold, silver, and Bitcoin as financial lifeboats.

Fnu Lnu   The Dinar is now getting International attention. I was just on a conference call with a very small group of arbitrage experts based in Singapore...Imagine my surprise when the call mentioned Dinar and the second part of the call was about the Dinar...The good news?   The moderator said the RV was completed, which many of us have believed but couldn't prove...The final steps of the RV are contingent upon the completion of the "Financial Integrity and Cross-Border Payments" training program...  [Post 1 of 3....stay tuned]

Fnu Lnu    The "Institute for Financial Integrity" (IFI) based in Washington DC, has announced an initiative aimed at enhancing Iraq's banking systems...in collaboration with the CBI and K2 Integrity, will provide training to the NBI (National Bank of Iraq).  This will be a huge boost for the banking sector, provide essential training, and drive value. This training is vital to insure to the investing world, that Iraq is up to International standards. Though the RV is completed, this last important step is what is causing, what we perceive, as a delay. It is no delay at all. It is about how to distribute the funding. This also signals that we are now so close you can just smell the greenbacks as they are distributed, cross borders, to eagerly awaiting American Dinar investors. [Post 2 of 3....stay tuned]

Fnu Lnu  This call was so information dense that I will have to listen to it several more times to digest all of the content. The function of revaluing the currency is completed. The rate is decided. All the numbers are calculated. What is left to do is to be trained on the physical task of properly distributing it. Crossing the T's and dotting the I's...We are so close now it is crazy. This training can be done in a matter of days. This is why the UST and others are in Iraq right now. This is all brand new ground and you are on the inside of this knowledge.  [Post 3 of 3]

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE AND ISDA SET TO BEGIN FACILITATING THE $1.2 QUADRILLION DERIVATIVES MARKET

Ripple’s membership in ISDA and its strategic partnerships with BlackRock and JPMorgan reinforce the growing influence of digital assets in global finance.

Ripple has joined the prestigious International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) alongside BlackRock and JPMorgan. This strategic partnership positions XRP to facilitate the $1.2 quadrillion derivatives market, with global debt driving trillions into XRP. 

The CryptoTradingFund (CTF) Payment Rewards system, already launched and onboarded by Amazon and Walmart, will further funnel trillions into the XRP Ledger, offering users CTF tokens as rewards for crypto transactions.

XRP’s Expansion into the Derivatives Market

Ripple’s entry into ISDA opens up significant opportunities for XRP in the $1.2 quadrillion derivatives market. With support from BlackRock and JPMorgan, XRP is poised to play a key role in cross-border payments on an unprecedented scale, showcasing the growing acceptance of blockchain in traditional finance.

This integration allows XRP to handle massive derivatives transactions more efficiently, positioning it as a crucial asset in mainstream financial systems.

The Role of CryptoTradingFund (CTF) in XRP’s Future

Ripple’s integration with ISDA enhances the XRP Ledger through the CryptoTradingFund (CTF), which rewards XRP users with CTF tokens for purchases at participating merchants. These tokens can be redeemed for fiat or used to buy goods and services, fostering greater interaction with digital assets.

With Amazon and Walmart already on board, the CTF Payment Rewards system is set to channel billions into the XRP Ledger, increasing adoption and value for XRP users.

CTF Framework Transaction Soars as Demand Increases

CTF token value has garnered significant attention, with projections suggesting it could rise from $1.02 to $748.98. The limited supply of CTF tokens, combined with growing demand from companies like Amazon and Walmart, could drive a massive increase in value. Experts predict that the CryptoTradingFund system could attract up to $9 trillion, impacting CTF token prices substantially.

With trillions flowing into the XRP Ledger, CTF tokens are poised for major growth, establishing a new financial ecosystem centered around Ripple’s blockchain.

The Future of XRP and Blockchain in Global Finance

Ripple’s collaboration with ISDA, BlackRock, and JPMorgan signals a new era for digital currencies in global finance. The ability to handle $1.2 quadrillion in derivatives transactions highlights blockchain’s transformative potential. XRP, along with CTF tokens, stands at the forefront of this financial revolution, offering a new framework for global payments and financial transactions.

Conclusion: A New Era for Digital Assets and Global Finance

Ripple’s membership in ISDA and its strategic partnerships with BlackRock and JPMorgan reinforce the growing influence of digital assets in global finance. With XRP set to facilitate trillions in derivatives transactions and the CTF Payment Rewards system offering innovative rewards, Ripple is well-positioned to shape the future of global finance.

As the XRP Ledger continues to evolve, the financial world is on the brink of a significant transformation, with Ripple at the heart of this blockchain-powered revolution.

XRP JUMPS 20% AMID SEC’S MAJOR POLICY CHANGE ON CRYPTO INVESTIGATIONS

On Monday, February 3, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) implemented a new policy that could slow down its crypto-related investigations.

According to Reuters, sources familiar with the matter revealed that SEC lawyers are now required to get approval from politically appointed leadership before formally initiating probes.

This change marks a shift in the SEC’s previous procedures and comes under the agency’s new leadership following President Donald Trump’s administration.

Typically, the SEC is overseen by five commissioners, including the chair, though the commission currently operates with only three members — two Republicans and one Democrat. Commissioners are appointed by the president.

The agency recently saw the departure of former chair Gary Gensler and fellow Democrat Jaime Lizárraga. Currently, Acting Chair Mark Uyeda holds the position until Paul Atkins, nominated by Trump to be SEC chairman, is officially confirmed.

Reacting to the same, former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel wrote, “I was heavily involved in the policy allowing formal order authority to be delegated to the staff, enacted in the wake of the Madoff debacle. So for those whose response to Madoff was “the SEC should move more slowly,” this is great news.”

Amid this news, XRP surged by 19.90% in the last 24 hours, reaching a price of $2.71 after previously dropping to a low of $2.14 and peaking at $2.78. The initial dip in XRP’s value was driven by fears of a trade war following U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of high tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China.

However, analysts now suggest that this drop may have created a solid foundation for a potential strong recovery in the coming days.

Iraqi Oil: Starting to deliver Kurdistan’s production to SOMO.. Procedures with Türkiye for export via Ceyhan

Iraqi Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani announced on Monday, February 3, 2025, the start of procedures to deliver Kurdistan Region oil to the marketing company "SOMO", while indicating that there are government procedures towards exporting oil through the port of Ceyhan.

Abdul Ghani said in a press statement followed by "Al-Jabal", "The Ministry of Oil began its movements with the regional government by sending an official letter to deliver oil in a legal manner to the marketing company (SOMO)."

He pointed out that "there are procedures with the Turkish government to prepare the Iraqi-Turkish pipeline to export oil through the port of Ceyhan. 

Abdul Ghani explained that "the specified quantities are not less than 300 thousand barrels per day of the region's oil, delivered to the federal Ministry of Oil, to be exported via the Iraqi-Turkish pipeline link

Tishwash:  Iraq and Jordan discuss work stages in joint border economic city

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani received today, Monday, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Yarub Al-Qudah, who confirmed the Jordanian government's support for Iraq's efforts to host the Arab Summit in Baghdad, scheduled for this year.

During the meeting, according to a statement by the Prime Minister's Office, a copy of which was received by {Euphrates News}, "the bilateral relations between the two countries were discussed, and ways to strengthen them in various economic and commercial fields, in addition to discussing mechanisms for developing industrial and commercial cooperation between Iraq and Jordan, in light of the work of the Iraqi-Jordanian Joint Trade Committee, as well as confirming cooperation between the Jordanian and Iraqi private sectors."

The meeting touched on the stages of work in the joint border economic city between Iraq and Jordan, which aims to enhance economic integration, stimulate investments and activate partnership, and the returns and benefits it will achieve for the two countries, especially with the continuation of work on the development road project, with its strategic axes and projects. link

Tishwash:  To discuss military and strategic files.. A "high-ranking" American official will visit Baghdad soon

An Iraqi government official reported on Monday that a high-ranking American official is about to visit Baghdad soon, and that preparations are underway for the visit, noting that the official will discuss the American presence in Iraq and the structuring of the relationship between the two countries. 

The official told Shafaq News Agency, "Special preparations are now underway for a visit by a high-ranking American official to Baghdad in the coming period." 

The official pointed out that "the file of the American presence in Iraq will be discussed in parallel with adjusting the rhythms of the region, in line with the recent changes in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza." 

He said, "The American official will discuss the mechanism for restructuring the relationship between the United States of America, in addition to understandings in the areas of security and defense, along with files related to the US Federal Reserve." 

It is noteworthy that Baghdad and Washington announced months ago an agreement stipulating the withdrawal of the US-led international coalition forces by September 2025.

The Washington Post quoted an Iraqi official as saying that he expected Iraq to request an extension of the stay of US forces, in light of the recent developments in the region following the fall of the Assad regime in Syria.

Since mid-October 2023, armed factions began targeting American bases in Iraq, coinciding with the Gaza War, as the factions announced that their targeting of American forces was in response to American support for Israel.

The previous escalation between the armed factions and America witnessed military responses from Washington, the latest of which was the bombing of the city of Al-Qaim, adjacent to the Syrian border. The US Central Command confirmed at the time that its forces launched air strikes in Iraq and Syria targeting sites of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and its affiliated faction groups.

The command said that the US military forces struck more than 85 targets with many aircraft, including long-range bombers, launched from the United States.

The American responses to the targeting of the armed factions also included assassinations of leaders of those factions in the center of the capital, Baghdad, using guided and accurate missiles. link

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Monday Evening 2-3-25

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

CBOE TO LAUNCH 24-HOUR STOCK TRADING

Traditional exchanges are seeking to expand trading hours as 24/7 onchain trading gains momentum.

Cboe Global Markets, one of the world’s largest derivatives and securities exchanges, has tipped plans to roll out 24-hour per day trading on weekdays, according to a Feb. 3 announcement.

The planned change “aims to meet growing global customer demand for expanded access to U.S. equities markets,” the exchange said. It comes as real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platforms increasingly offer a 24/7 alternative to traditional securities markets.

“We continue to hear from market participants globally – particularly those in Asia Pacific markets like Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Australia – that they want greater access to U.S. equities trading,” Oliver Sung, Cboe’s head of North American equities, said in a statement.

Sung said Cboe’s experience operating 24-hour exchanges in other markets means the exchange “can seamlessly support a 24x5 trading model for U.S. equities.” It plans to support 24-hour trading Monday through Friday, but not on weekends.

Cboe already offers nearly round-the-clock trading hours for certain derivatives, including S&P 500 Index options, and for its global forex markets.

Demand for extended trading hours

Other traditional US equities exchanges are also seeking to deliver round-the-clock trading for clients. In August, 24X National Exchange filed an amended application to US regulators to launch a securities exchange that could potentially bring 24/7 trading to cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

In the US, spot cryptocurrency exchanges such as Coinbase operate continuously, but securities exchanges — where crypto ETFs are traded — only handle trades between 9:30 am and 4:00 pm Eastern Time.

Meanwhile, RWAs — tokens representing claims on assets such as stocks, bonds or real estate — surged in popularity after US President Donald Trump’s November election win ushered in a friendlier regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies.

Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on blockchain networks enable 24/7 trading of RWA tokens

On Feb. 3, RWAs reached a cumulative all-time high of more than $17.1 billion across over 82,000 total asset holders, excluding the value of stablecoins, according to data from RWA.xyz.

RWAs could grow more than 50-fold by 2030, according to a Tren Financial report, which compiled predictions from financial institutions and consulting firms. They represent a $30-trillion market opportunity globally, Colin Butler, Polygon’s global head of institutional capital, told Cointelegraph in an interview.

The most popular RWA funds are the tokenized money market funds Hashnote Short Duration Yield Coin (USDY), BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) and Franklin OnChain US Government Money Fund (FOBXX). Tokenized money market funds collectively command more than $3 billion as of Feb. 3, according to RWA.xyz.

On Jan. 30, private equity firm Apollo Global Management said it had partnered with Securitize to launch a tokenized private credit fund.

COINBASE CLO TO TESTIFY IN OPERATION CHOKEPOINT 2.0 HEARING

The first Operation Chokepoint 2.0 hearing is set to hold soon with Coinbase CLO Paul Grewal among the listed testifies

▪️Coinbase CLO to participate in Operation Chokepoint 2.0 hearing

▪️Anchorage and MARA Holdings CEO also joins the witness list

▪️Industry proponents sees the Chokepoint investigation as a major win

Paul Grewal, Coinbase Chief Legal Officer (CLO) is one of the testifiers at the forthcoming Operation Chokepoint 2.0 hearing with the Senate Banking Committee. Billed to take place later this week, Grewal will join other experts includes MARA Holdings CEO Fred Thiel in testifying against the crackdown on the crypto industry.

Operation Chokepoint 2.0 Hearing Witness List

It is worth noting that the hearing regarding the Operation Chokepoint 2.0 claims will be conducted by both the House and Senate respectively. As shared in an X post, the Coinbase CLO features in the witness list for both hearing set for February 6.

Besides Grewal, WSPN CEO Austin Campbell, Fred Thiel will participate in the House Financial Services Committee hearing. Per the update from, the lawmakers noted that more witnesses may still be added to the list.

For the Senate Banking GOP hearing, Nathan McCauley, the founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital will also take part in the hearing. In addition, Stephen Gannon from Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, Mike Ring from Old Glory Bank and Aarond Klein from the Brookings Institution will also take part.

As the Coinbase CLO noted, the lawmakers’ hearing will conduct an “oversight hearing looking into the past clandestine and undemocratic campaign to cut off crypto from banking.”

Coinbase CLO and Industry Leaders Have a Lot to Say

Just like Anchorage Digital, Coinbase also suffered from the impacts of the Operation Chokepoint 2.0. Over the past few weeks, the exchange has uncovered Letters from the US FDIC that shows the role played by the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission (FDIC) in the chokepoint agenda.

Per the content of the unredacted documents, the FDIC instructed banks to cut financial services for the crypto industry. With Paul Grewal running the legal team that got these unredacted files from FDIC in a legal battle, he might shed many insight in the hearing.

Anchorage Digital also potentially faced the Operation Chokepoint as a broad-based financial services provider in the industry. With claims of crackdown in the Bitcoin mining sector, Fred Thiel may also be an invaluable witness in the hearing.

Operation Chokepoint 2.0: Promises Kept

Prior to his election victory, President Donald Trump promised that the war on crypto will be over under his tenure. The appointed Crypto and AI Czar Davids Sacks promised to probe Chokepoint claims from industry leaders.

Also, Rep French Hill also made similar promises in December with confirmation that Reps will investigate the claims in January. Crypto proponents have celebrated the move by the current administration to check regulatory agencies’ excesses.

The tokenized Treasuries sector has grown rapidly, surpassing $3 billion in total value locked in 2024. With Ondo Nexus, Ondo Finance aims to strengthen onchain financial infrastructure, bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance.

More News, Rumors and Opinions Monday PM 2-3-2025

KTFA;

CalandLQ: Hi Family! IMO, I find FA #4999, (Passing of the Budget amendment)  to be just what Frank and WS said, but there are some who still don’t seem to understand what’s unfolding right before our eyes. So, to the few, I hope you find the following to be helpful and IMO. 

The Iraqi Parliament’s approval of the first amendment to the Federal General Budget Law for the fiscal years 2023-2025 carries significant implications for the country’s citizens.

A key aspect of this amendment is the resolution of longstanding disputes between the federal government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) regarding oil revenue sharing

Resumption of Oil Exports:  The amendment facilitates the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region, which had been halted since March 2023 due to legal disputes.

Under the new agreement, the KRG will supply 400,000 barrels of oil daily to the State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO), ensuring a structured mechanism for revenue generation and distribution.

Economic Impact: By resolving these disputes and resuming oil exports, the amendment is expected to bolster Iraq’s overall oil production and export capacity. This increase in revenue can enhance the government’s ability to fund public services, infrastructure projects, and social programs, directly benefiting citizens across the country.

Equitable Revenue Sharing: The agreement delineates mutual obligations between the federal and regional governments. While the Kurdistan Region commits to specific oil quotas, Baghdad is mandated to fulfill its financial commitments, ensuring that Kurdistan receives its allocated budget entitlements. This aims to establish stability and transparency in the oil revenue-sharing process, reducing long-standing disputes.

 Political Stability: The successful negotiation and passage of this amendment demonstrate a commitment to cooperation between Baghdad and Erbil. This collaboration can lead to greater political stability, which is crucial for attracting foreign investment, improving security, and fostering a more predictable environment for economic development.

 In summary and again all IMO, the amendment’s approval is a positive development for Iraqi citizens, promising economic growth, improved public services, and enhanced political cohesion.

Clare:Erbil and Baghdad reach a "final agreement" on employee salaries

2/3/2025

The Ministry of Finance in the Kurdistan Regional Government announced, on Monday evening, that it had reached a final agreement with the federal government to resolve the issue of salaries of the region's employees.

The ministry stated in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, "After 15 days of continuous work between the technical delegations of the Ministry of Finance in the Kurdistan Region and the Ministry of Finance in the federal government to solve technical problems, implement requests, and prepare tables for the list of salaries of employees, retirees, military personnel, and security forces in Kurdistan, a final agreement was reached on employee salaries for the year 2025."

She added, "Meanwhile, in a meeting held today, Monday, in the Iraqi Economic Council building, a delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government met, headed by the Minister of Finance and Economy, Awat Sheikh Janab, and attended by the Chief of Staff of the Council of Ministers in the Kurdistan Region, Omed Sabah."

She continued, "The Kurdistan Regional Government delegation thanked the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, the Deputy Prime Minister, Fuad Hussein, the Head of the Kurdistan Regional Government's Representation in Baghdad, Khalida Hadi Shawshli, and the Minister of Finance in the Federal Government, Taif Sami, for their efforts, assistance, coordination and support to reach an agreement on the dues of the Kurdistan Regional Government employees."

The ministry indicated that "on the other hand, the Kurdistan Regional Government delegation thanked the Presidency of the Iraqi Council of Representatives and the various blocs in the Iraqi Council of Representatives for their cooperation and support for approving the budget amendment, especially the items related to oil exports."

The ministry confirmed that "the technical teams of the Ministry of Finance in the Kurdistan Region are completing the procedures for sending the salaries for the month of January 2025, and it is expected that the amounts will be deposited into the bank account of the Ministry of Finance."

It is noteworthy that the negotiating delegation of the Kurdistan Region confirmed in all meetings its readiness to continue implementing the obligations that fall on the shoulders of the Kurdistan Region, in order to avoid repeating the problems of last year.  LINK

Frank26  What did we need for the monetary reform to realize its new exchange rate?  ...What do we need in  order for the new exchange rate to come out?  Article quote "Our message at the United Nations is very clear, the message is Iraq  is now stable and secure...We wish this country all the best and prosperity and all that is good and beneficiary for this country  and the people of this ancient country."  You know darn well they're about to release a new exchange rate, you want money don't  you?  ...This is amazing!   

Fnu Lnu  When a currency is in a basket of currencies, as in IMF / World Bank, a currency can only deviate 2% up or down in a 90 day period. Go to the website and look it up. Plus, it has been stated in plain English, numerous times, by the CBI, that the old and new currency will coexist for 10 years. When the Dinar goes on the FOREX, you can exchange at any time you wish, wait as long as you wish, until the currency you hold is cancelled...which will be 10 / TEN / Diez...YEARS ...Capice'?

TRUMP ORDERS CREATION OF US SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND, SAYS IT COULD OWN PART OF TIKTOK

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order directing the U.S. to take steps to start developing a government-owned investment fund that he said could be used to profit off of TikTok if he’s successful at finding it an American buyer.

Trump signed an order on his first day office to grant TikTok until early April to find an approved partner or buyer, but he’s said he’s looking for the U.S. to take a 50% stake in the massive social media platform. He said Monday in the Oval Office that TikTok, which is owned by China-based ByteDance, was an example of what he could put in a new U.S. sovereign wealth fund.

“We might put that in the sovereign wealth fund, whatever we make or we do a partnership with very wealthy people, a lot of options,” he said of TikTok. “But we could put that as an example in the fund. We have a lot of other things that we could put in the fund.”

Sovereign wealth funds invest in assets, such as stocks, bonds and real estate. They are typically funded by a country’s budgetary surpluses, which the U.S. currently does not have.

Trump noted many other nations have such investment funds and predicted that the U.S. could eventually top Saudi Arabia’s fund size. “Eventually we’ll catch it,” he promised. Countries like Norway also have a similar fund.

Traceable, Credible Gold for Saudi Arabia

Traceable, Credible Gold for Saudi Arabia

Kitco News:  2-3-2024

Saudi Arabia is undergoing a significant economic transformation, moving beyond its traditional reliance on oil and gas. A key element of this diversification strategy is the development of its mining sector, with the Kingdom aiming to establish itself as a major player in the global mineral supply chain and, more specifically, a “global intermediary” in the critical minerals market.

 This ambition was highlighted in a recent interview conducted by Kitco’s Senior Mining Editor and Anchor, Paul Harris, with His Excellency Bandar Alkhorayef, Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources of Saudi Arabia, on the sidelines of the Future Minerals Forum in Riyadh.

The interview offered insights into the Kingdom’s bold plans to leverage its mineral wealth and establish itself as a vital hub in the rapidly evolving landscape of critical minerals.

Saudi Arabia sees mining as the third industrial pillar, standing alongside oil and gas and petrochemicals, a significant shift in focus for the nation. This strategic move is underscored by the fact that the Kingdom has identified a staggering $2.5 trillion in mineral resources, a figure that has already garnered significant international attention and investment interest.

Saudi Arabia’s geographical location is crucial to their strategy. Positioned at the heart of the fastest-growing region globally, the Kingdom aims to become a central mining hub connecting various global markets.

However, their ambition extends beyond simply extracting and exporting minerals. The Kingdom seeks to play a more nuanced role as a “global intermediary,” navigating complex geopolitical tensions while simultaneously building its capacity to produce and process critical minerals. This means fostering international collaboration and forging partnerships with companies and countries from around the world, irrespective of political differences.

This approach is particularly significant in the context of the global demand for critical minerals, which are essential for the development of clean energy technologies, electric vehicles, and various other modern industries. By positioning itself as a neutral intermediary, Saudi Arabia hopes to facilitate a more secure and stable supply chain, mitigating potential disruptions and ensuring a more equitable distribution of these vital resources.

The interview also shed light on Saudi Arabia’s specific mineral resources. While the $2.5 trillion figure encompasses a diverse range of minerals, gold is a key focus.

The Kingdom currently holds the 15th largest gold reserves in the world and is actively working towards increasing its gold refining capacity. This move not only aims to maximize the value of their own gold reserves but also positions Saudi Arabia as a potential processing hub for gold from other regions.

Beyond resource extraction and production, Saudi Arabia emphasizes its commitment to responsible mining practices. This includes prioritizing environmental sustainability, community engagement, and implementing ethical labor standards. This approach is crucial for ensuring that mining activities contribute to the country’s long-term development goals and do not negatively impact the environment or local populations.

In conclusion, Saudi Arabia’s ambition to become a “global intermediary” in the development of critical minerals is a key component of its broader economic diversification strategy. By leveraging its significant mineral resources, geographical location, and a commitment to international collaboration and responsible mining, the Kingdom is positioning itself as a crucial player in the future of the global mineral supply chain.

This marks a significant shift, not only for the Saudi economy but also for the global landscape of critical mineral development, offering a potentially more balanced and stable approach to this increasingly important sector.

Mnt Goat   President Trump...has now taken on the issues involving Iraq. This is a very good for us investors as we all know the value of the dinar has been greatly suppressed due to corruption and stalling...Yes, we all know and so does the CBI that this needs adjustment. The adjustment is coming but it will take political willpower to do it.

Frank26   The East [Middle East bank owner contacts] were willing to talk to us and tell us we see those lower notes in those [January article] pictures.  Yeah they're using the 3 zero notes.  We asked why are they using the 3 zero notes, why don't they show them the real lower notes?  They said because the real lower notes are going to look like the ones they got now.  What?  Yeah, they're just going to drop the zeros, the colors and the shape will still be the same.  The only one that will be different will probably be the 25.  It will be smaller and it'll be a 20.  It's hard to get information but what little bit we've got is just so encouraging.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

CRYPTO CATASTROPHE: WORLD RECORD BROKEN, WORST BLOODBATH IN HISTORY

Market in shambles after introduction of trading tariffs sparks enormous liquidation surge

One of the worst bloodbaths in the history of the cryptocurrency market just occurred, with liquidations skyrocketing past $2.24 billion in the last day.

With Bitcoin plummeting to $94,000 and the entire market collapsing along with it, this massive wipeout has destroyed leveraged traders. The magnitude of the losses has broken all previous records, making this one of the most vicious sell-offs in the history of cryptocurrency.  

With $609 million in liquidations, Ethereum traders were the most negatively impacted, according to the liquidation heatmap. At $412 million, Bitcoin trailed closely behind, while liquidations exceeding $85 million were reported by XRP, Dogecoin and Solana.

The biggest single loss happened on Binance, with an ETHBTC trade worth $25.64 million and a whopping 734,621 traders liquidated in a single day.

After losing crucial support at $97,000, Bitcoin is currently testing $92,000 – a level that may dictate its course in the near future.

The price of Bitcoin may drop to $83,000 if it drops below this level, signaling a more significant correction. With Bitcoin at the top of the market, altcoins are doing even worse; some have already dropped more than 80% from their peak.

Altcoin momentum has completely collapsed, falling to 38 out of 100, according to the CMC Altcoin Season Index, which indicates a strong phase dominated by Bitcoin.

This change reflects traders' swift decline in risk appetite and their flight from altcoins to safer assets. The cryptocurrency market is in a panic right now. If Bitcoin is unable to stay above $92,000, it is likely to continue declining.  

Particularly for altcoins that have already been in free fall, losses could get even worse. Overleveraged traders have paid the price, and this carnage may not end yet unless volatility levels off.

CARDANO (ADA) VOLUME SKYROCKETS 428% DESPITE WORST CRYPTO BLOODBATH

Cardano dropped below $0.70 as traders rushed to sell ADA, pushing volume to historic levels

The broader digital currency ecosystem recorded its worst single-day bloodbath this year, with assets like Cardano (ADA) at the forefront. At the time of writing, the ADA price changed hands for $0.7012, down by 20.53% in the past 24 hours. The coin dropped to $0.5648 in earlier trading, its lowest level in nearly 90 days.

Cardano volume took different turn

Despite the selloff, one unique Cardano metric, the transaction volume, recorded an impressive rally.  

Per data from CoinMarketCap, the Cardano volume is up 428.86% to $3.77 billion. This boost in trading volume is not commensurate with the price outlook, thus implying traders were in flight mode over the weekend.

Market data shows that more than $36 million has been lost by ADA traders in the past 24 hours via liquidations. Long traders suffered the most, with over $31 million taken out unduly. With the crypto market drawdown triggered by the tariff war in North America, the effect appears comprehensive across all markets.

At the moment, a high level of volatility has been introduced into the Cardano trading ecosystem. After this multi-month low price, the coin has inked some rebound, but generally, the coin is not out of the woods yet.

Catalyst to watch and Bitcoin influence

Amid this unusual price slump, Cardano traders will likely focus on new anchors as the price recovers. These new anchors might include fundamental ecosystem updates and how they may shape the ADA ecosystem.

With the Plomin hard fork going live in the past week, Cardano proponents are now looking forward to how this upgrade can impact ADA accumulation and price outlook. In addition, ADA's whale activity is in the spotlight, as a large buying trend can trigger positive sentiment.

Meanwhile, the ADA-BTC correlation may yield a positive boost in the mid-to-long term. Bitcoin has stabilized its latest sell-off, hinting that Cardano may soon follow suit.
