Tishwash:  Central Bank: 20 Iraqi banks practice direct transfer operations in 8 foreign currencies

The Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, confirmed today, Tuesday, that there are 20 Iraqi banks practicing direct transfer operations in 8 foreign currencies.

Al-Alaq said, according to the official agency, that "the recent quarterly meetings with the US Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department, which were held in Dubai, were very positive, as the steps taken by the Central Bank to improve the foreign transfer system and convert operations to international practices in a safe, transparent and highly organized manner were praised."

Al-Alaq pointed out that "this transformation is the first of its kind in Iraq, which witnessed transitional stages from (the window) to (the platform) and then to correspondent banks."

He continued, "Today, there are 20 Iraqi banks practicing direct transfer operations with international correspondents in eight foreign currencies, within the new system."

Al-Alaq explained that "the other banks that are still outside this framework are now working to qualify them according to specific standards, in cooperation with an international consulting company, to apply the necessary standards that qualify them to join foreign transfer operations."
He stressed that "there are no new sanctions or changes, but on the contrary, there is praise and appreciation from international bodies, especially with regard to the mechanism of selling cash dollars.

" Al-Alaq stressed the "need to focus on these successes to show a positive image of the transformations in the Iraqi banking sector, which will be positively reflected in the dealings of international financial institutions with Iraqi banks."  link

Tishwash:  Government Advisor: Electronic Payment Enhances Dinar Stability, Shrinks Parallel Market

 The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed that the public’s increasing conviction in using electronic payment cards for travel purposes or paying dues to small companies has achieved great success in reducing the size of the parallel market for the US dollar, which has contributed to its gradual decline.

Saleh explained in a statement to {Euphrates News} agency, that "the modern monetary policies that were recently implemented have proven their effectiveness in achieving financial and economic stability, as annual inflation rates have decreased to levels not exceeding 3%, which reflects the strength and stability of the Iraqi dinar against foreign currencies.

The financial advisor pointed out that the new monetary policy tools adopted by the Iraqi government, in cooperation with the Central Bank, have directly contributed to directing cash liquidity towards official channels, which has enhanced public confidence in the dinar and led to a reduction in informal transactions in the dollar.

Saleh stressed the importance of continuing efforts to enhance the use of electronic means in financial transactions, given its pivotal role in supporting the national economy and combating illegal practices associated with the parallel currency market.

He stressed that these achievements come within the framework of a comprehensive strategy aimed at achieving sustainable financial stability and enhancing the confidence of citizens and investors in the future of the Iraqi economy, calling on all segments of society to engage more in the use of electronic payment tools in the interest of the national economy. link

Tishwash:  Nineveh, Kirkuk and Tikrit are deprived of the dollar.. It's time, Baghdad, the airport is ready

Exchange representative spoke to 964

 Mosul (Nineveh) 964

Nineveh does not receive its share of the dollar despite the city’s stability for 9 years, and the restrictions affect many travelers from Nineveh, especially patients and students who need remittances to or from the city. Talk of the dollar problem has returned to the forefront in conjunction with the imminent opening of Mosul Airport.

Abdullah Khalil, a representative of Nineveh exchange companies, says that they have complied with the Central Bank’s requests to merge every 10 companies to form a new Category A company, but the red tape is still hindering the entry of these companies into the dollar auction. In the past, Nineveh included 90 companies, each of which received $1.2 million per month. Today, only two companies have met the merger criteria, in addition to 7 companies ready to merge, compared to 100 companies receiving dollars in Baghdad. According to Khalil, the return of the dollar to Mosul will serve all neighboring governorates deprived of the dollar, such as Salah al-Din and Kirkuk, in addition to Kurdistan. Economists in Baghdad have previously called for the necessity of resuming the injection of dollars into the western governorates, which would relieve pressure on the capital and the south.

In the event that The dollar has been pumped into Nineveh, and each company's share will be about 2 million dollars per month, which will contribute to stimulating economic activity and improving the situation of affected companies

Abdullah Khalil - Representative of exchange companies in Nineveh:

Since 2014, exchange companies have stopped working by decision of the Central Bank.

In 2021, 47 companies were opened by the Central Bank.

When we reviewed the receipt of Nineveh Governorate’s share of the dollar, the Central Bank stipulated that every 10 companies merge into one company to be classified as A and to be able to enter the Central Bank’s dollar selling window.

Indeed, we have merged 10 companies two and a half years ago, but we suffer from red tape, which is disrupting our work.

Nineveh does not have a Class A company, which has the right to receive dollars from the Central Bank and sell them to travelers.

We also do not have external outlets through international companies such as Western Union.

We asked the Central Bank to exempt Nineveh from this matter, knowing that Baghdad has 100 category A companies.

Opening companies in Nineveh will serve nearby cities such as Kirkuk, Salah al-Din, Erbil, and Dohuk, which do not have Class A companies and do not receive dollars from the bank.

For 11 years, Nineveh has not received its share of the dollar, and I hope that through you our voice will be heard and that there will be an exception decision from the Central Bank, especially since Mosul is about to open the airport, and it is expected that tourism and trade will increase.

Previously, we had 90 companies, each of which was receiving $1.2 million per month.

Today we have two companies ready to take over, and there are 7 companies ready to merge.

There are 20 companies banned by the Central Bank from trading in dollars, and their dealings are limited to Iraqi dinars only.

We pay fees and taxes to the bank, just like the rest of the governorates that receive dollars and have external transfers.

Each company's share will be $2 million per month if the Central Bank pumps dollars into Nineveh.

There are patients traveling outside Iraq who need remittances from Nineveh, but they cannot receive them or vice versa.

Issam Zenkana - Economic Researcher:

After 9 years of liberating Nineveh, restrictions on exchange companies are supposed to be lifted and they and citizens are supposed to be allowed to trade in dollars.

These restrictions negatively affected the commercial movement in the city, especially among merchants.

There is supposed to be a government banking operation based on academic financial steps built on the foundations of a free economy.  link

BRICS: US TO FORGE TRADE DEAL AS NEW NATION FEARS TARIFF THREAT

Amid the ongoing tensions with the BRICS group, the US is set to forge a new trade deal as a new nation comes forward with concerns over the growing threat of tariffs.

Indeed, since his return to the White House, US President Donald Trump has embraced increased import taxes as an aggressive policy to balance out trade.

The efforts have drawn both criticism and concern from the global market. Specifically, a host of nations have expressed worry that the action could lead to a trade war.

Now, that fear may be leading geopolitical alignment to take place on a global scale.

US to Forge New Trade Agreement as BRICS, Canada, and Mexico Face Tariffs

The BRICS economic alliance and the United States are engaged in a notable faceoff. The latter promised to issue 150% tariffs on the collective, citing its de-dollarization as the reason. In response, the bloc’s 2025 chairmanship holder, Brazil, has continued to lean into the necessity of ditching the greenback in global trade.

Both sides have only encouraged continued concerns regarding geopolitical tensions. Moreover, amid the BRICS confrontation, the US has forged a new trade deal as another nation expresses concern over impending Trump tariff threats. The US President reissued those import taxes on Canada and Mexico after pausing the effort last month.

According to a new report, the United States and the UK are set to iron out the details of a new trade agreement. Specifically, a visit from Prime Minister Keir Starmer has seen both sides commit to the new deal. Its purpose looks to be balancing trade and thus avoiding tariffs on the European nation.

After the meeting, Trump expressed his hopes for a “great trade agreement” with the UK. “We’re going to have a great trade agreement, one way or another,” Starmer said. “We’re going to end up with a very good trade agreement for both countries, and we are working on that as we speak.”

SEC AGREES TO DROP LAWSUIT AGAINST CUMBERLAND DRW, SAYS FIRM

The SEC sued Cumberland DRW in October, claiming it operated as an unregistered securities dealer in handling more than $2 billion in crypto assets.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission will dismiss its case against the Chicago-based Cumberland DRW, the crypto trading firm says.

“Today we signed a joint filing to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dismissing its case against Cumberland DRW,” Cumberland wrote in a March 4 X post.

Cumberland said the filing was agreed in principle between Cumberland DRW and SEC staff on Feb. 20 and is currently awaiting the agency’s approval.

It’s the latest crypto-related lawsuit the SEC has agreed to drop. It has previously dropped cases against crypto exchanges Coinbase and Kraken, along with crypto firm Consensys.

The regulator has also recently announced it had dropped its investigation into non-fungible token (NFT) companies Yuga Labs and OpenSea, and crypto exchanges Gemini and Uniswap Labs.

“We look forward to continuing our dialogue with the SEC to help shape a future where technological advancements and regulatory clarity go hand in hand,” Cumberland added.

The SEC sued Cumberland DRW on Oct. 10, alleging a single charge of operating as an unregistered securities dealer for more than $2 billion in crypto assets.

The regulator claimed Cumberland acted as an unregistered dealer since March 2018 by buying and selling crypto it deemed to be securities.

The SEC also claimed that five of the tokens that Cumberland handled were securities, including  POL. SOL, ATOM. ALGO, and FIL.

The agency was seeking permanent injunctive relief, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, prejudgment interest and civil penalties.

Cumberland argued it had registered as a dealer-broker in 2019 and was hit with the suit despite engaging in “five years of good-faith discussions” with the SEC, adding it was just “the latest target” of SEC’s “enforcement-first approach to stifling innovation.”

Crypto exchange Coinbase recently filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to the SEC seeking to discover how much the SEC spent on enforcement action against crypto firms.

“Bits and Pieces” in Dinarland Tuesday PM 3-4-2025

DJ:  DID YOU KNOW?

Over the years I have been a proponent of not following the narrative of Intel providers who are constantly forecasting start dates for the GCR/RV but rather focusing on the mechanisms that would be required to accomplish such a task.

After all we’re talking about a transformation of the global financial system and it is pretty much understood it would have to be digital.

The global financial system is on the cusp of a digital revolution, with digital currencies poised to redefine transactions, banking, and economic policies.

For digital currency to be widely adopted and seamlessly integrated, several mechanisms must be changed, enhanced, or created. If one looks, we can currently see these transitions in real time .

Keep in mind though there will always be a need for a percentage of physical currency to remain in circulation being crucial to ensuring economic stability and accessibility.

First and foremost, regulatory frameworks are being modernized. Governments and financial institutions are collaborating to establish comprehensive policies that govern digital currency use, ensuring security, transparency, and compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. Without these clear guidelines, digital currency adoption could lead to financial instability or illicit activities.

The second critical enhancement involves the banking infrastructure. Traditional financial institutions have begun integrating blockchain technology and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms into their operations.

 This integration has required significant investment in technological upgrades, cybersecurity measures, and personnel training to ensure seamless transactions and fraud prevention. Central banks have begun to develop their own central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to maintain monetary control and economic stability.

Another essential mechanism is digital payment infrastructure. Retailers, service providers, and consumers must have access to user-friendly and secure payment solutions that support digital currency transactions. We are seeing point-of-sale systems, mobile payment applications, and online banking platforms being upgraded to accept digital currencies alongside traditional money. Interoperability between various digital currencies and traditional banking systems are gaining widespread adoption.

Cybersecurity enhancements have been a priority. Digital currencies are vulnerable to hacking, fraud, and cyberattacks, necessitating new robust security protocols. Multi-factor authentication, biometric verification, and encryption technologies are now standard across all digital currency platforms to protect users from financial loss and data breaches.

Despite this shift toward digital transactions, maintaining a percentage of physical currency is essential. A completely cashless society risks excluding individuals without access to digital banking or technological literacy. Physical currency serves as a backup during system failures, cyberattacks, or economic crises, ensuring continued economic functionality.

Transitioning to a digital currency-driven financial system to ignite the GCR required these extensive regulatory, technological, and infrastructural advancements.

While digital currency offers efficiency, security, and innovation, a hybrid system that retains a percentage of physical cash will ensure inclusivity and resilience. Seeing these advancements and coordinated global efforts, is a strong indicator the GCR and financial transformation is within reach.

Learning how to swim is not the same thing as swimming. Diving into the deep prematurely. Probably not a good idea.

Fed Predicts Economic Crash, will Chaos Continue?

David Lin:  3-3-2025

Global markets are reeling after a dramatic downturn, fueled by growing concerns about the strength of the global economy and, some say, a tacit admission from the Federal Reserve that a recession is imminent. The sharp sell-off has left investors scrambling and questioning whether the current chaos will subside or snowball into a full-blown economic crisis.

To dissect the unfolding market turmoil and gain insights into what the future may hold, David Lin sat down with Jim Bianco, President of Bianco Research. The conversation, captured in a tense recording, painted a picture of a market grappling with uncertainty and an economy on shaky ground.

While the Fed hasn’t explicitly declared an impending crash, Bianco suggested their recent actions and pronouncements are speaking louder than words. Bianco also cautioned against overly optimistic assumptions about a quick rebound.

The current market situation is undeniably concerning. Whether it represents a temporary correction or the prelude to a deeper economic downturn remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear: investors need to exercise caution, stay informed, and be prepared to navigate a potentially turbulent road ahead.

Why the US GOV Must Revalue Gold (And Why It’s Terrifying)

Taylor Kenny:  3-4-2025

Why is gold being revalued? As central banks around the world are stockpiling gold at unprecedented levels, it’s becoming clear that the global financial system is undergoing profound changes.

For those of us who are concerned about the future of the US dollar, inflation, and economic collapse, understanding the true significance of gold revaluation is crucial.

GRAYSCALE PURSUES SIXTH ALTCOIN ETF AS NASDAQ SEEKS TO LIST HEDERA FUND

Approving multiple smaller assets for Grayscale's ETFs could help pave the way for an index ETF, a source told Decrypt.

Crypto asset manager Grayscale Investments is pushing forward with its offerings for altcoins, filing for approval of a new spot Hedera (HBAR) exchange-traded fund (ETF) on Monday.

The Nasdaq Stock Market 19b-4 filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission marks Grayscale’s sixth altcoin-focused ETF.

The SEC, under the leadership of acting chair Mark Uyeda, has already acknowledged and published filings for ETFs linked to altcoins, pointing to a more supportive stance toward altcoin-based investment products under a Trump administration.

“The biggest benefit to having a lot of smaller assets be approved for an ETF would be that it would pave the way for an index ETF,” Katalin Tischhauser, Head of Research at Sygnum Bank, told Decrypt.

A 19b-4 filing is part of a two-step process to propose a crypto ETF to the SEC, and once acknowledged by the agency, the filing will be published in the Federal Register, initiating the SEC's approval process.

Grayscale’s other spot ETF filings include tracking the performance of Polkadot (DOT), XRP, meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL).

Grayscale was one of the first to file to convert its XRP Trust and Dogecoin Trust into ETFs, and the SEC has already acknowledged those filings along with Solana ETF, adding them to the Federal Register.

The filings for the Polkadot and Cardano ETFs are still in the early stages of regulatory review.

The SEC’s review process typically lasts 45 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register, during which time the commission will consider the filings and invite public comments.

Following this period, the SEC can either approve or reject the proposed rule changes or delay its decision, with the entire process potentially stretching to 240 days.

Grayscale is not the first asset manager to pursue a HBAR ETF. Last month, Nasdaq filed a 19b-4 form with the SEC to list a spot HBAR ETF on behalf of Canary Capital.

As of now, the SEC is still in the process of reviewing the application, and no official approval has yet been granted

Still, Bloomberg Senior ETF Analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart have pointed out that both Hedera and Litecoin have “higher odds than others [ETFs] of approval.”

AUSTRALIA’S GOVERNMENT HAS NO PLANS TO ESTABLISH A STRATEGIC CRYPTO RESERVE

The Albanese government has no plans to follow the lead of the Trump administration, which has announced plans to stockpile XRP, Solana, Cardano, Ether and Bitcoin.

Australia’s government is not currently considering a strategic crypto reserve, despite US President Donald Trump announcing the effort in the United States just days earlier.  

US President Donald Trump announced on March 2 that the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets was directed to include XRP, Solana, Cardano, Ether and Bitcoin in the crypto strategic reserve.

A swathe of other US states are also considering adding crypto to their balance sheets.

However, it is understood the current ruling party in Australia has no plans to establish a crypto reserve.

A spokesperson for Australian Assistant Treasurer and Financial Services Minister Stephen Jones told Cointelegraph that the government is focused on regulating digital asset platforms.

“The Albanese Government has consulted on our proposed framework to build a fit-for-purpose digital asset regulatory regime, and we continue to work closely with industry,” the spokesperson said.

“The Albanese Government knows that blockchain and digital assets present big opportunities for our economy, our financial sector and innovation.”

A change of government could be on the horizon for Australia, however. Constitutionally, a new federal election must be held on or before May 17, and the latest YouGov poll shows the center-right coalition holding a slight lead over the center-left Labor government, leading 51% to 49%.

A spokesperson for the Coalition did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Speaking to Cointelegraph, Tom Matthews, head of corporate affairs at Australian crypto exchange Swyftx, said that while the idea for a reserve is popular, it can also be “fraught with complexity,” and if not managed properly creates the potential for concentration risk with some tokens.

“If one of the main goals of your country’s strategic reserve is to hedge against crises, the price volatility of crypto is a problem. It is just difficult to see where the political traction is going to come from,” he said.

Matthews speculates a more likely scenario is the emergence of a long-only sovereign wealth fund that holds crypto.

Kraken’s managing director for Australia, Jonathon Miller, told Cointelegraph that crypto has already firmly established itself as an investment-grade asset, with ETFs on major exchanges, superannuation funds and sovereign wealth funds already invested for quite some time.

“If it’s suitable for them, it’s certainly worth consideration for long-term asset allocators like the Future Fund and even Treasury,” he said.

It comes as regulators in the country have flagged plans to shift focus toward the crypto industry.

Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Center CEO Brendan Thomas said in December last year the Anti-Money Laundering regulator was shifting its focus to the cryptocurrency industry in 2025 amid a crackdown on crypto ATM providers who might be flouting Anti-Money Laundering laws.

The Australian Securities and Investment Commission released a consultation paper on proposed guidance for crypto in December as well, placing many digital assets under the category of financial products and requiring firms dealing in crypto to be licensed.

The country has also emerged as a hub for Bitcoin and crypto ATMs, with coin ATM Radar data showing it has the third largest number worldwide at over 1,453 ATMs, up from 67 in August 2022.

How Could Iraq’s Gold and Oil Catapult the Dinar to Kuwaiti $3.25 Rate—or Far Beyond?

How Could Iraq’s Gold and Oil Catapult the Dinar to Kuwaiti $3.25 Rate—or Far Beyond?

Awake-In-3D  March 3, 2025

As an electrical engineer with a data-driven background and a career founding technology companies, I explore a theoretical scenario where Iraq’s gold and oil resources could revalue the Iraqi dinar (IQD) to $42 against the fiat US dollar.

Grounded in economic principles and Iraq’s tangible assets, this analysis imagines how such a shift might unfold—if conditions align.

Iraq’s resource wealth positions it for a potential economic transformation. Could gold and oil propel the dinar to unprecedented heights? This scenario avoids speculative hype, instead leveraging quantifiable factors to propose a plausible outcome.

Iraq’s Resource Foundation

Iraq holds the world’s fifth-largest proven oil reserves at 145 billion barrels, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration. With oil prices potentially reaching $100 per barrel by early 2026—aligned with forecasts from the International Energy Agency—Iraq aims to boost production to 5 million barrels per day (bpd).

Simultaneously, its gold reserves have grown to 162.7 metric tons by February 2025, according to the World Gold Council. If gold hits $3,000 per ounce by late 2025, as some analysts like Goldman Sachs predict amid inflation and central bank demand, these holdings would be worth $15.7 billion USD.

These assets—oil and gold—form the backbone of a potential currency revaluation.

A Strategic Asset-Backed Approach

Imagine Iraq stabilizing its dinar by backing it with tangible assets, diverging from Kuwait’s managed currency peg of $3.25 USD tied to a currency basket. Iraq might aim for financial independence, leveraging:

• Gold Reserves: 162.7 metric tons, valued at $15.7 billion USD, with a 10% backing (1/10th gram per currency unit) chosen to balance stability and flexibility, inspired by historical gold standards like the U.S.’s 40% pre-1933 model.

• Oil Wealth: A conservative 5% of its 145 billion barrels, or 7.25 billion barrels, valued at $725 billion USD at $100/barrel, pledged to bolster confidence without overcommitting reserves.

Together, these yield $740.7 billion USD in backing assets, a foundation for revaluation.

Policy Mechanism: Redenomination

A key step could be a redenomination, removing three zeros from the dinar, a tactic used successfully elsewhere. Turkey, in 2005, dropped six zeros from its lira, simplifying transactions without altering economic value. For Iraq:

• 1,000 old IQD becomes 1 new IQD.

• Money supply (M2) shifts from 173,686 trillion old IQD to 173.686 billion new IQD, maintaining overall worth.

• This eliminates psychological barriers tied to high denominations, enhancing usability.

The Exchange Rate Calculation

Backing 10% of the new money supply—17.3686 billion new IQD—with $740.7 billion USD yields:

740,7 billion USD 

17.3686 billion new IQD = 42.64 USD per new IQD  

Rounded to $42 USD, this suggests:

• 1 new IQD = $42 USD.

• 1 USD = 0.023 new IQD.

While ambitious, this value reflects Iraq’s resource scale, potentially exceeding Kuwait’s $3.50 peak in 1991, supported by smaller reserves (101.5 billion barrels, negligible gold).

Implementation Steps

For this to work, Iraq would need:

1. Stronger Reserves: Accumulate US dollars, euros, and yuan to buffer global liquidity, akin to pre-euro reserve builds.

2. Oil Expansion: Push production past 5 million bpd, mirroring Saudi Arabia’s export-driven growth.

3. Innovative Tools: Issue oil-backed bonds for investors and a digital dinar, reducing cash reliance, as piloted by nations like China with its e-CNY.

4. Dollar Independence: Deepen trade with BRICS nations, gradually shifting from USD dominance, a trend seen in recent Sino-Iraqi oil deals.

Global and Domestic Implications

If successful:

• Iraqi purchasing power could surge, stabilizing its economy.

• Foreign investors might flock to Iraq as an emerging powerhouse.

• Global markets could adjust, possibly with IMF oversight akin to the euro’s rollout, to manage oil trade shifts.

• Currency traders might see long-speculated gains, though phased implementation would be key.

Risks and Realities

This isn’t guaranteed. Political instability, as seen in Zimbabwe’s failed 2006 redenomination amid hyperinflation, could derail it. Execution demands precise central bank coordination and market acceptance—trade partners might resist a $42 dinar without gradual integration. Skeptics may call $42 unrealistic, but Iraq’s resource wealth, far exceeding Kuwait’s at its revaluation peak, suggests a higher ceiling is plausible under ideal conditions.

Conclusion: A Plausible “What If”?

This scenario hinges on rising gold and oil values, strategic asset backing, and a stable redenomination. While $42 may seem bold, it’s a logical outcome of Iraq’s unique position—145 billion barrels and 162.7 tons of gold dwarf Kuwait’s base. Success requires political will and global cooperation, but if achieved, the dinar could mark a significant shift in modern currency dynamics. The question is when—or if—Iraq seizes this potential.

Global Currency Reset:

Mon. 3 March 2025 Wolverine:

We are on the cusp of getting this released. Tomorrow is a big day when Pres Trump has his SOTU or something similar, what we are expecting is big news for him to announce Nesara Gesara, New Republic, and no more fiat, and perhaps the Global Currency reset. 

We hear bondholders are getting paid, and this morning another bondholder, I heard, has been paid. I cannot confirm. However, all these people are under NDA and we pray all these sources are true.

Michael Ruben has sources who say it is this week, so I hope those sources are correct. 

Other sources say Pres Trump signed off on the RV a few days ago, these sources do not know one another, but all had the same info. 

Trigger groups start tomorrow and it has been heard that tomorrow is notification day, and we are waiting for spendable money, and told it is all coming tomorrow. 

For the first time ever, I have been on calls with paymasters and banks, and heard it is all happening this week, and some private sector bondholders are getting paid this week, 100% confirmed.

Pentecostal is ready to go, and many leaders in Bogota are waiting to get paid, and when they get paid, that money will be distributed to members. One leader has his group In Panama.

There are about 2 to 3 million people in the RV international, but mostly Latin speaking people. I am in that group as well. That is definitely happening. 

I am also under NDA on two platforms, so I cannot speak of these platforms, as they are “that close” to starting. 

The NDA: I repeat to you, when you DO receive the blessing, make sure you stay quiet, and do not go anywhere publicly, if you talk in public someone will hear it and you may lose your funds, go straight home and be sure all phones around you are off, be sure you only speak to family you can trust and friends you can trust. 

I spoke to people in Brazil in charge of Medbeds and they are ready to go. Tier 1, 2 and 3, and some have been paid, and Skye said the medbeds were released for those.   

MIKE BARA: Wolverine, I am hearing the exact things you are. I have a few contacts and they are all focusing on tomorrow and Tuesday in the USA. There is pressure to do this overnight. 

The President of Iraq has gone to a special session in Cairo tomorrow, ahead of Pres Trump’s speech tomorrow. Everyone is on the same page.   

Also have heard from people who know bond contacts that they were paid out last week, and that they have currency exchange appts starting tomorrow. That is the first time I ever heard about currency exchanges. Don’t be disappointed if not first thing tomorrow, but all is pushing toward that.   

All Wolverine’s sources are different than mine, and it appears all is coming together. 

Just two hours ago, heard those appts are scheduled at major banks for people who have already cashed in certain bonds, and they are scheduled for currency exchanges. 

WOLVERINE: I have heard that the redemption centers will be open for a month to give people more time to exchange in the event they are in the hospital, out of town.

MIKE BARA: MarkZ has said, this, that the redemption centers will open for about four weeks.

=======================================

On Mon. 3 March 2025 US Inc. Corp.(allegedly)  dissolved, ending the fiat monetary system and closing US Inc. government. The privately owned Federal Reserve and IRS will (allegedly)   shut down. Its fiscal year ends, and it’s been bankrupt since 2008. No Congressional budget approvals, just running on fumes with a fiat dollar.

Militia Man  Article: "Based on the directives of the Central Bank of Iraq we warn all citizens not to use digital payment tools actively deal with the Forex..."  Why would you be warning people about trading in digital currencies on the Forex if you weren't going?  You wouldn't.  There's no reason to even bring it up...

Frank26   IMO at this point in the monetary reform they are so close to giving the citizens the new exchange rate which means we are so close to giving the new exchange rate to the enemy, to parliament and that's why Sudani wants all of the systems up and running and that's why the Secretary of State came and made sure that's being done so we can detect every stealing that would occur...All of these moves from Sudani are because he's being guided by the United States Treasury and Donald Trump to make sure this time we hit the mark.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

SEC: MEME COINS ARE NOT SECURITIES. MUSK: THEY’RE LIKE A CASINO

Last week, four different views of meme coins were put forward. On Thursday the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provided staff guidance that meme coins would not be considered securities. SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw dissented.

The following day, Joe Rogan posted an interview with Elon Musk. Rogan thinks meme coin pump and dumps should be regulated, but Musk think’s meme coins are okay provided people treat them as a bit of fun and don’t risk too much.

Unsurprisingly, the Rogan – Musk excerpt is more entertaining.

“The whole meme coin thing is bananas,” observed Rogan. “It is so bananas that people dump real money into these coins and then you could just pump them up and sell them.”

“It’s like a casino or something,” Elon Musk responded, comparing it to “the greater fools theory and musical chairs. Whoever’s the last to sit down loses.”

To which Rogan replied, “And somehow or other it’s still legal”.

“If you expect to win at a casino, you’re being a fool,” answered Musk. “At the risk of saying something bold and outrageous, don’t bet the farm on a meme coin.”

Rogan spoke about pump and dumps, where people often hope they are the one who will dump, but they end up on the losing end. He repeated, “It’s just weird that it’s legal still”.

Musk responded that people lose money at casinos. Rogan’s view is that pump and dumps make meme coins different and observed that you could run “a real pyramid scheme”.

With that context, let’s turn to the SEC’s new guidance on meme coins. By saying most meme coins are not securities, the SEC also conveniently sidesteps a potentially awkward position regarding the $TRUMP meme coin.

The SEC’s position on meme coins

Following the change in administration, the SEC has swiftly dropped many of its outstanding cases and investigations into major crypto firms, where the allegations revolved around classifying most cryptocurrencies as securities (rather than outright fraud). But meme coins are amongst the first pieces of guidance provided.

Here’s the core paragraph on meme coins:

“Meme coins typically are purchased for entertainment, social interaction, and cultural purposes, and their value is driven primarily by market demand and speculation. In this regard, meme coins are akin to collectibles.”

“Meme coins also typically have limited or no use or functionality. Given the speculative nature of meme coins, they tend to experience significant market price volatility, and often are accompanied by statements regarding their risks and lack of utility, other than for entertainment or other non-functional purposes”

The key legal aspect is whether a meme coin is sold as part of an “investment contract”, the so-called Howey test.

The SEC continued,

“The offer and sale of meme coins does not involve an investment in an enterprise nor is it undertaken with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of others.”

It says that the price movement is the function of speculation and “collective sentiment” rather than any efforts of a third party. Again it compares them to collectibles.

That’s not to say there’s a free pass for fraudulent behavior, because the SEC highlights that it’s possible for others, most likely the Department of Justice, to pursue bad actors.

But for now, it certainly seems like it’s a situation of buyer beware.

Commissioner Crenshaw dissents

Democrat Commissioner Crenshaw disagrees. Her concern is that the new meme coin definition put forward by the SEC doesn’t have a foundation in law.

She wrote,

“The lack of a useful definition alone makes the value of this guidance questionable, except perhaps as a roadmap for crypto enterprises looking to evade oversight by labeling themselves as a meme coin.”

Commissioner Crenshaw believes that other crypto issuers will downplay the role of managerial efforts in order to fit into the meme coin classification and escape oversight.

She asserts that most meme coins rely on managerial efforts, whether it’s structuring offerings to limit supply or via buybacks or burning. The Commissioner highlighted the prevalence of manipulation through pump-and-dumps and rug pulls. And she noted that getting a listing on an exchange involves managerial effort.

Apart from meme coins, the Commissioner also has reservations about Crypto 2.0. While she recognizes the intent to provide more guidance on what is or is not a security, she’s concerned that the withdrawal from many cases before providing that guidance raises many questions. These include,

“How can we pursue fraudulent conduct in this space while casting doubt on our regulatory jurisdiction? Are we eroding our ability to police fraudulent Ponzi schemes? Are we poised to give special treatment to crypto assets over traditional assets, or even other emerging assets?”

JUST IN: Trump Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize

President Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, with Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) making the announcement on X Monday morning. “Today I will nominate @realDonaldTrump for the Nobel Peace Prize. No one deserves it more,” Issa wrote in a post that quickly gained traction online.

The decision to nominate Trump follows a tense meeting last week in which he reportedly asked Zelenskyy to leave the Oval Office after a fiery exchange over U.S. military aid.

Trump later stated that Zelenskyy had “disrespected” the United States and suggested that Ukraine was using America’s involvement as leverage rather than genuinely seeking peace.

Trump’s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize will likely serve as a symbolic nod to his non-interventionist stance, particularly as his campaign for a second term continues to emphasize an “America First” approach.

A spokesperson for Issa also highlighted Trump’s endeavors to foster peace in the Middle East. “Congressman Issa recently led a Congressional delegation to four Middle East nations—he observed first-hand and from several heads of state that the spirit of peace and moving away from conflict is real and multilateral,” said Jonathan Wilcox, Issa’s deputy chief of staff and communications director, in remarks to The Hill.

Wilcox added, “From the time of his election and after being sworn in, President Trump has inspired and promoted the cause of peace—and in a way we have not heard in many years.

His advocacy is an aspiration of a world without war, and we are seeing this come into focus in several regions of the world today – not just one.”

Rep. Issa isn’t the only one who feels this way. Secretary of State Marco Rubio robustly supported President Trump’s strategy for brokering a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia during a Sunday interview.

Rubio, speaking on ABC News’s “This Week,” suggested that if Trump were a Democrat, his efforts would likely receive widespread acclaim.

Amid a heated discussion with host George Stephanopoulos, Rubio said, “Shouldn’t we all be happy that we have a president who’s trying to stop wars and prevent them instead of start them?”

“I just don’t get it. I really don’t, other than the fact that it’s Donald J. Trump,” Rubio said. “If this was a Democrat that was doing this, everyone would be saying, ‘Well, he’s on his way to the Nobel Peace Prize.’ This is absurd.”

“We are trying to end a war,” Rubio explained. “You cannot end a war unless both sides come to the table, starting with the Russians. And that, that is the point the president has made. And we have to do whatever we can to try to bring them to the table to see if it’s even possible.”

Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize multiple times. In 2018, Norwegian Parliament member Christian Tybring-Gjedde nominated Trump for his role in facilitating peace talks between North and South Korea.

Two years later, in 2020, Tybring-Gjedde again put Trump’s name forward, this time citing his efforts in brokering the Abraham Accords, which normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

In 2021, Laura Huhtasaari, a member of Finland’s Parliament, also nominated Trump, recognizing his efforts to end prolonged conflicts and promote dialogue. Most recently, in 2024, U.S. Congresswoman Claudia Tenney nominated Trump for his role in expanding the Abraham Accords, which facilitated diplomatic agreements between Israel, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates.

The most recent U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize was Barack Obama in 2009.

COINBASE DEMANDS SEC REVEAL US TAXPAYER COST OF GARY GENSLER’S AGGRESSIVE CRYPTO ENFORCEMENT

Coinbase questions SEC's spending on crypto oversight as it seeks transparency through FOIA.

Coinbase is requesting a record of how much the Securities and Exchange Commission spent on enforcement actions under former Chair Gary Gensler.

Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal shared that the company submitted a Freedom of Information Act request seeking data on employee hours, contractor expenses, and other line items tied to what he described as the SEC’s “war on crypto.”

His statements pointed to investigations of Coinbase, Gemini, and other companies, along with the broader impact on Americans’ jobs and technological competitiveness.

Grewal stated,

“We know the previous @SECgov’s regulation-by-enforcement approach cost Americans innovation, global leadership, and jobs, but how much did it cost in taxpayer dollars?”

The FOIA filing asks for documents detailing the number of enforcement actions launched against digital asset entities, the associated costs of those efforts, and the staffing resources allocated to them.

Coinbase also wants information on the unit previously called the “Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit,” requesting clarity on that group’s budget, staff headcount, and total compensation. 

According to Grewal, the intention is to reveal how taxpayer funds were used to support what he characterizes as aggressive oversight without formal rulemaking.

The SEC’s strategy under Gensler frequently relied on enforcement actions instead of newly drafted regulations, prompting pushback from several crypto firms. Coinbase’s request comes after the agency dropped its lawsuit against the exchange in late February, citing a broader pivot in its regulatory approach.

Grewal further noted that the company would continue pursuing greater transparency, suggesting that any forthcoming documents could expose the extent to which enforcement-based tactics shaped policy decisions.

Grewal emphasized Coinbase’s commitment to this issue, stating:

“We’ll never stop fighting for government transparency on behalf of our customers and this industry. It may take time to get the full picture, but I think we’ve shown that we will do what it takes for as long as it takes.”

Gemini’s Winklevoss twins have also criticized the SEC’s approach, pointing to legal fees when that agency dropped its investigation into their platform. Coinbase’s filing signals a broader demand for accountability following similar calls from other industry participants.

The 17-point FOIA request may provide unprecedented visibility into the SEC’s internal allocation of resources toward crypto enforcement during a contentious period for the industry.

The SEC’s recent shift includes dismissing some cases against crypto firms and declaring memecoins are not securities while forming a new task force to establish more explicit guidance. Coinbase’s FOIA submission indicates that clarity alone may not resolve existing grievances if the costs incurred remain obscured.

Grewal emphasized that the exchange is prepared to wait through the entire FOIA process to secure the data it believes could help the public understand how government resources were allocated when the SEC targeted digital asset businesses.

Tishwash:  MP: Washington directly supervises the financial system in Iraq

Representative Mukhtar al-Moussawi confirmed today, Monday, that the United States directly supervises the financial system in Iraq, and is aware of the entire movement of money.
Al-Moussawi explained to Al-Maalouma that "the United States directly supervises the financial system in Iraq, and is fully aware of the movement of funds and exiting the country, which gives it broad economic influence that affects the financial decisions of the Iraqi government.

Regarding the security official, Al-Moussawi said that "Iraq has recovered in terms of security and has become able to protect its lands from terrorist attacks, thanks to the development of the capabilities of the armed forces and the Popular Mobilization Forces," ruling out "the possibility that Washington will use the ISIS terrorist organization card again, given the expected failure of such attempts in the face of the high security readiness enjoyed by the Iraqi military apparatuses.

" Al-Moussawi criticized "some parties that promote the possibility of the return of the threat of the terrorist organization, and an attempt to repeat the 2014 scenario," stressing that "the security forces and the Popular Mobilization Forces are ready to thwart any terrorist activity that may target the country."

According to observers, the United States is playing its suspicious role in Iraq, whether through economic intervention or waving the security card, which calls for a firm national position to end its guardianship and restore full autonomy   link

Tishwash:  Investment opportunities are expanding.. FAO is preparing to transform into the largest industrial city in the Middle East

The Ministry of Industry and Minerals revealed plans on Monday to establish giant industrial projects in the city of Al-Faw, which will make it one of the largest industrial cities in the Middle East, as part of the Strategic Development Road project.  

The Deputy Chairman of the Industrial Cities Authority at the Ministry, Riyadh Jassim Kazim, said in a statement to the official newspaper that "the technical designs for the project will be completed soon, as work is proceeding according to well-studied plans, with the completion of the initial designs and the addition of some modifications to ensure the project is implemented in the best possible way."  

He explained that "the development road will transform Iraq into a pivotal commercial center linking the East and the West through advanced industrial cities extending from Al-Faw to the Turkish border," noting that Al-Faw city will include giant industrial projects including petrochemical plants, power stations, water desalination and liquefied gas facilities, in addition to residential and tourism projects, which will contribute to stimulating trade exchange and creating more than one million job opportunities.  

Kazem also stressed that the project will contribute to reducing the time it takes to transport goods from China to Europe to less than 22 days, which will enhance Iraq's position as a global logistics center.  

He pointed out that the preparation of the project's designs faced some obstacles, such as conflicts on the road's path with agricultural and economic projects, but coordination was made with local governments and those conflicts were removed, which allowed the preparation of the final technical designs for the project.  

He concluded by saying that "the development road will be a fundamental pillar in diversifying the Iraqi economy and reducing dependence on oil, so that Iraq becomes a pivotal part of the international trade map, benefiting from its modern infrastructure and its ability to connect continents." link

************

Tishwash:  Sanctions and mistrust.. How will the Iraqi digital currency be born?

Why don't we develop our systems?

Financial and banking expert Mustafa Hantoush confirmed that talking about launching an Iraqi electronic currency at the present time is premature, in light of a banking system that suffers from structural problems and weak infrastructure.

He explained to “Jarida Platform” that “the culture of electronic payment in Iraq is still immature, and unless the government intervenes and imposes the adoption of electronic payment in government departments, we will not witness any real development in this field.”

Hantoush added that “Iraq does not have an integrated internal transfer system and relies on international systems such as Visa and MasterCard, which makes it a priority to develop the national switchboard, enhance the electronic payment infrastructure, and spread the culture of digital payment among citizens.” He pointed out that “electronic payment, in essence, depends on the presence of funds deposited in banks and their electronic transfer instead of direct cash exchange, which requires a strong infrastructure and broad confidence in the banking system.”

Hantoush stressed that “even major countries such as the United States, Europe and China have not yet been able to develop integrated electronic currencies due to fears of electronic breaches and weak cybersecurity systems,” wondering about the extent to which Iraq, with its current banking system, can achieve this.

He added, "Talk about an Iraqi electronic currency does not match the reality of Iraqi banks, which suffer from sanctions, the absence of their real role in the market, and the presence of a large percentage of money circulating outside the banking system, in addition to the lack of trust in banking institutions."

He concluded by saying, “The Central Bank still relies on old evaluation mechanisms, and the Islamic banking system has not witnessed real development in Iraq, which makes the priority now to build an integrated banking system, enhance confidence in it, and develop its electronic infrastructure before thinking about launching an electronic currency.” link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BRICS: BRAZIL REITERATES NEED TO END US DOLLAR, WILL 150% TARIFFS FOLLOW?

The ongoing tension between the global south and west has been a key matter of geopolitical uncertainty. That may only take a step forward as the BRICS 2025 president, Brazil, has reiterated its need to end the US dollar as 150% tariffs loom large over the nation.

Speaking on the alliance’s operations, Brazil president Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva noted that the group will not cease its de-dollarization approach. However, that may come with steep consequences. Indeed, US President Donald Trump has warned that there will be import taxes levied on nations that he views are seeking to “destroy” the greenback.

Brazil Re-Commited to Ditching the US Dollar: Will It Face Trump’s 150% Tariffs?

The BRICS economic alliance operates on a rotating chairmanship model. This means that the alliance will be under the guidance of a shifting presidency, with one nation taking the mantle at the start of the year. In 2025, it is Brazil that is taking that position, and it is already standing firm on what it expects of the bloc.

Amid the growing tension between BRICS and the United States, Brazil has reiterated its need to end the US dollar dominance despite 150% tariffs being threatened on such countries. 

Earlier this year, the bloc rejected a BRICS currency plan. However, that hasn’t forced it to change its tone on the group’s relationship with the greenback.

“US President Donald Trump’s threats of tariffs won’t stop the group’s determination to seek alternative platforms for payments between member countries,” Brazil’s President said. Now, whether or not they face those promised Trump tariffs will depend on how the US President views the action.

Last week, Trump said, “‘Any BRICS state that even mentions the destruction of the dollar will be charged a 150% tariff.” The bloc has yet to claim to be seeking the greenback’s destruction. Therefore, will the pursuit of alternative payment methods trigger the tariff?

Moreover, is Brazil’s position opposing a BRICS currency freeing it from those threats? It certainly became the main focus of the geopolitical sector over the next several months

SEC DROPS LAWSUIT AGAINST KRAKEN, ENDING ‘POLITICALLY MOTIVATED CAMPAIGN’SEC DROPS LAWSUIT AGAINST KRAKEN, ENDING ‘POLITICALLY MOTIVATED CAMPAIGN’

The dropped lawsuit follows dismissals of other SEC lawsuits and investigations against other cryptocurrency companies like Coinbase and Gemini.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has agreed to drop its lawsuit against Kraken, the cryptocurrency exchange revealed on March 3. The move ends what the exchange calls a “wasteful, politically motivated campaign” and “clears the path toward a stable, forward-thinking regulatory regime.”

According to Kraken, the lawsuit is being dismissed with prejudice, with no admission of wrongdoing, no penalties paid, and no changes to Kraken’s business. The SEC sued Kraken in November 2023, alleging that the exchange acted as a broker, dealer, exchange and clearing agency without registering with the SEC.

The SEC, under Gary Gensler’s leadership, was prone to a policy of regulation by enforcement, suing or investigating crypto companies, such as Coinbase, Uniswap and non-fungible marketplace OpenSea, for a variety of reasons. This approach was widely criticized in the industry for stifling innovation, targeting legitimate crypto companies instead of going after bad actors and more.

The SEC’s latest actions may reflect the changing environment of the US government regarding crypto. Kraken writes about its case, “This case was never about protecting investors — it and other enforcement actions clouded instead of clarified. It undermined a nascent industry that repeatedly urged clear rules of the road.”

A shifting regulatory climate

Since the change in SEC leadership, the agency has dismissed or is rumored to drop various lawsuits and investigations that began during Gensler’s tenure. On Feb. 27, it dismissed its lawsuit against Coinbase. Previously, it had dropped lawsuits or investigations against Consensys, Uniswap, OpenSea, Gemini and Robinhood.

The moves come as the US is shaping up for increased regulatory clarity surrounding digital assets. On Feb. 7, US lawmakers introduced a stablecoin bill to boost dollar dominance. It is possible that lawmakers may introduce a general crypto regulation bill that is a stronger version of FIT21.

In addition, there are further tailwinds: US President Donald Trump, who has said he wants to make the US the “world capital of crypto,” has announced plans for a crypto strategic reserve consisting of BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL and ADA. The president will be hosting the first White House Crypto Summit on March 7.

HESTER PEIRCE ANNOUNCES SEC’S NEW CRYPTO TASK FORCE AMID POLICY SHIFT

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has officially released the list of members for its Crypto Task Force, which brings together advisors from key divisions.

This follows a memo published by Commissioner Hester Peirce on March 3 on the official SEC website. According to the memo, the task force consists of staff from Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda’s office, along with representatives from multiple divisions within the agency.

Peirce highlighted the team’s experience and commitment to addressing complex crypto regulatory challenges, stating that the Crypto Task Force is composed of knowledgeable and dedicated staff focused on developing practical regulatory solutions for the industry.

She also emphasized that the team would collaborate with other SEC experts and engage with the public to shape effective crypto regulations.

SEC’s new crypto-focused team

The task force includes Richard Gabbert as Chief of Staff, Michael Selig as Chief Counsel, and Taylor Asher as Chief Policy Advisor. Additional members include Sumeera Younis (Chief of Operations), Landon Zinda (Senior Advisor), and multiple senior advisors such as Donald Battle, Bernard Nolan, and Laura Powell.

Peirce has long been an advocate for clear and fair regulations in the crypto sector. Her latest initiative follows ongoing calls from industry leaders for more regulatory clarity.

This development aligns with a broader trend within the SEC to reevaluate its stance on cryptocurrency oversight. Under the previous administration, the agency intensified enforcement actions against crypto firms, imposing significant penalties.

For instance, in 2024 alone, the agency imposed fines totaling $4.68 billion on crypto businesses, accounting for 68% of its lifetime penalties in this sector.

However, recent months have seen a notable shift. The SEC has closed investigations into several prominent crypto entities, including Gemini, Coinbase, OpenSea, Uniswap Labs, Robinhood Crypto, Consensys, and lately Kraken. This move suggests a more lenient regulatory approach under the current administration.

How Gold Is Valued & Why $25k-$55k Makes Sense in a Revaluation Scenario | Tavi Costa

Kitco News:  3-3-2025

What do historical financial crises tell us about today's market? Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron interviews Tavi Costa, Partner & Macro Strategist, Crescat Capital on the sidelines of PDAC in Toronto.

Costa discusses the rare convergence of demand for gold from both Eastern and Western economies and why he believes silver is on the verge of a significant move back to its all-time highs.

Costa analyzes the potential impact of revaluing gold prices and inventories, referencing historical comparisons to the 1940s and 1970s.
