The world is scrambling to secure its future and many investors are sleeping at the wheel.

I called this years ago. Nations would increasingly turn to domestic gold production as a potential strategic move to safeguard their reserves from the erosion of fiat currency. That shift is no longer coming.. it’s happening now, in full force.

Yesterday, the United States announced plans to dramatically accelerate the speed and scale of mineral production on public lands, including: GOLD. For years, many in the United States dismissed gold as a “barbarous relic.” Talk about awkward…

I found this comment from Dr. Ron Paul — former three-time U.S. presidential candidate — especially powerful during our conversation:

“I think the biggest issue for the Federal Reserve is what they do in international finance… I think there are more bailouts than people realize. It’s all credit, it’s all digits. If you were on a gold standard, you couldn’t have all that mischief.”

One of the things I asked @RonPaul was if the United States still had all its gold reserves? Since the conversation… it looks like we are actually going to find out.

Walkingstick  Trump is getting a delegation to go to Iraq to deal and talk about the oil and rare mineral earth minerals right  IMO...probably next week.  

Militia Man  The Central Bank confirms they're ready to launch a digital currency.  The central bank in my view has that infrastructure in place at the bank.  It sounds like successes are already in place, allows them the ability to say things like, 'We're ready to launch digital currency.' And that's dinar...It's a big deal.

Tsunami of Homes about to Flood the Markets

Liberty and Finance:

In a recent appearance on Liberty and Finance, economist Michael Pento delivered a stark warning about the detrimental role central banks, particularly the Federal Reserve, are playing in fueling inflation and ballooning government debt.

Pento argues that the Fed’s policies, driven by the government’s insatiable spending habits, are not only exacerbating current economic woes but are also setting the stage for a significant crisis.

Pento’s core argument revolves around the idea that central banks, through their policies of expanding the money supply, are essentially enabling unsustainable government spending.

He contends that the Fed’s practice of monetizing debt – essentially buying government bonds – is a direct response to the government’s inability to fund its expenditures through legitimate means like taxation.

This, he claims, is not driven by a desire to serve the public good, but rather to ensure the government’s continued solvency.

Furthermore, Pento challenges the long-held belief in the “Fed put,” the notion that the Federal Reserve can and will intervene to prevent significant economic downturns.

He dismisses this as a fallacy, arguing that the Fed’s tools are limited and that their continued use is only delaying the inevitable reckoning. By artificially propping up the market, the Fed is merely creating larger imbalances that will ultimately lead to a more severe correction.

Looking ahead to 2025, Pento paints a grim picture. He predicts a period of anemic GDP growth, potentially tipping into a recession. This slowdown, he believes, will be compounded by factors such as rising tariffs, which will stifle international trade and further depress economic activity, and the decline of liquidity in the market.

Pento emphasizes that these conditions pose significant risks to asset prices. He cautions investors to be wary, suggesting that the market’s current valuation may be unsustainable in the face of tightening monetary policy and a weakening economy.

The potential for a sharp correction, he argues, is amplified by the very policies that were initially intended to prevent one.

In conclusion, Michael Pento’s analysis paints a concerning picture of the current economic landscape. He believes that central bank policies, designed to support unsustainable government spending, are ultimately creating greater economic instability and risk. His forecast for 2025 highlights the potential for a significant economic slowdown, urging investors to exercise caution and prepare for a potentially turbulent period ahead.

The key takeaway is that reliance on artificial monetary policy has its limits, and the chickens of uncontrolled government spending and inflated money supply are poised to come home to roost.

We must audit the gold at Fort Knox, it’s been stolen. …Wall Street Apes on Telegram

Middle of the night gold shipments are heading from London back to America with “thousands of Gold Bars” trying to return them before an audit.

Clayton Morris “Over the few weeks, there’s been a secret operation to sneak gold back into Fort Knox before Donald Trump or Elon Musk get anywhere near it. US banks have been transporting gold from London back to New York with thousands of gold bars being moved outta the bank of England’s Vaults in recent months.

Look at COMEX gold vault numbers in the past few weeks. Skyrocketing why something is very fishy, hidden, unmarked shipments heading into Fort Knox under the cover of darkness.”

“If the gold was never missing, why are they scrambling like crazy right now to try to return it? Did the lying New York fed take all the bars in the vaults and then send them to London years ago so that they could lease it out or sell it outright to China?”

We need to End The Federal Reserve

BRICS New Blockchain Payment System Changes Everything

BRICS New Blockchain Payment System Changes Everything

We Love Africa:  3-21-2025

The BRICS economic alliance, comprised of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, is reportedly exploring blockchain technology as the foundation for a new payment system. This move underscores the bloc’s ongoing efforts to reduce reliance on the US dollar-dominated financial system and foster greater economic autonomy.

The development arrives at a pivotal moment, as the BRICS nations navigate a complex geopolitical landscape.

The collective has been actively pursuing de-dollarization strategies for some time, driven by factors such as a desire for greater control over their economies and a perceived need to reduce vulnerability to US economic policies.

BRICS New Blockchain Payment System Changes Everything

We Love Africa:  3-21-2025

The BRICS economic alliance, comprised of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, is reportedly exploring blockchain technology as the foundation for a new payment system. This move underscores the bloc’s ongoing efforts to reduce reliance on the US dollar-dominated financial system and foster greater economic autonomy.

The development arrives at a pivotal moment, as the BRICS nations navigate a complex geopolitical landscape.

The collective has been actively pursuing de-dollarization strategies for some time, driven by factors such as a desire for greater control over their economies and a perceived need to reduce vulnerability to US economic policies.

This ambition has seemingly gained urgency, particularly in light of recent political developments.

Reports suggest that the bloc’s de-dollarization efforts have faced headwinds, particularly with the potential return of Donald Trump to the White House.

With Trump threatening substantial tariffs on BRICS nations – reportedly up to 150% – tensions have risen and the bloc’s unity has been tested. This threat has seemingly reinforced the determination of some members to accelerate the shift away from the US dollar, prompting the exploration of alternative financial infrastructures.

Blockchain technology, with its inherent security, transparency, and potential for decentralized operation, presents a compelling alternative to traditional payment systems. A BRICS-backed blockchain payment system could facilitate cross-border transactions between member nations without the need for US dollar intermediaries.

 This would potentially reduce transaction costs, enhance efficiency, and minimize the bloc’s vulnerability to US sanctions or economic pressure.

However, the implementation of such a system is not without its challenges. Coordinating the diverse economic and regulatory landscapes of the BRICS nations will require significant cooperation and technical expertise. Furthermore, ensuring the security and scalability of the blockchain infrastructure will be critical for its long-term success.

Despite the challenges, the potential benefits of a BRICS-backed blockchain payment system are significant. It could not only strengthen economic ties within the group but also provide a viable alternative for other countries seeking to diversify their financial relationships and reduce their dependence on the US dollar.

The exploration of blockchain technology for its payment system highlights the BRICS bloc’s commitment to reshaping the global financial landscape.

While the path forward may be complex and fraught with challenges, this move signifies a significant step towards greater economic independence and a more multipolar global order.

SEC HOLDS FIRST CRYPTO ROUNDTABLE TO REASSESS REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Despite presenting contrasting arguments, advocates and skeptics conceded that crypto needs regulatory clarity in the US.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

SEC HOLDS FIRST CRYPTO ROUNDTABLE TO REASSESS REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Despite presenting contrasting arguments, advocates and skeptics conceded that crypto needs regulatory clarity in the US.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) held its first crypto task force roundtable on March 21 to discuss regulation, which ended in a consensus that crypto needs regulatory clarity in the US despite diverging views among the panelists.

Panelists ranged from crypto advocates to skeptics and the session focused on longstanding debates, including the classification of digital assets and the limits of existing securities laws in addressing decentralized technologies.

Advocates defended decentralization as a gauge for determining whether a token is a security. At the same time, skeptics argued that the current definition by the Howey test works, as the SEC won more motions than lost.

The event marked a shift in tone from the SEC under former Chair Gary Gensler, who frequently characterized most crypto tokens as securities and pursued enforcement actions against major firms.

Legal definitions and the scope of securities law

Discussions extended to what characteristics of digital assets, if any, justify different treatment under the law. Crypto advocates at the event suggested that beyond asking whether something is a security, the more relevant question may be whether certain securities merit exemptive relief.

Proponents argued that one possible differentiator is the degree of control exerted by issuers, a concept that better captures the decentralized nature of many blockchain networks.

Lee Reiners, a lecturing fellow at the Duke Financial Economics Center, said that all panelists agree that Bitcoin (BTC) is not a security because it is sufficiently decentralized.

However, he added that drawing a line to define if something is sufficiently decentralized or an investment contract is impossible, citing a Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) report that divides decentralization by spectrums based on different aspects.

Investor risk and statutory authority

Skeptics of the crypto industry presented contrasting perspectives. Former SEC enforcement official John Reed Stark and the most vocal critic maintained that the agency’s responsibility is to protect investors who purchase digital assets.

Additionally, crypto critics argued that the Howey Test remains a sufficient legal standard and that the SEC’s track record of litigation success affirms its interpretive authority. Stark suggested that there is no need to reinvent the framework.

Despite these divisions, participants generally agreed that clearer definitions and regulatory consistency would benefit the industry and the SEC’s oversight responsibilities.

The roundtable represents the first in a series of efforts to modernize the agency’s stance on crypto markets while balancing investor protection with technological innovation. It signals the beginning of the regulator’s reassessment process.

RIPPLE PUSHES SEC WITH 3-STEP PLAN FOR CLEAR CRYPTO REGULATIONS

▪️Ripple criticizes past SEC leadership for creating regulatory confusion and urges a return to clear, existing securities laws.

▪️Ripple proposes the SEC focus on enforcing established laws, not creating new ones, to provide clarity for the crypto market.

▪️With the SEC dropping its appeal, the Ripple lawsuit nears resolution, highlighting the need for defined crypto regulations.  


Ripple is calling on the SEC to finally bring clarity to crypto regulations. The company argues that unclear rules have caused confusion for years, making it harder for businesses and investors to navigate the industry.

 This comes after Hester Peirce, head of the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, asked the public for input on how crypto assets should be classified. Her request, titled “There must be some way out of here,” signals an effort to fix the mess left by past SEC leadership.

But Ripple isn’t holding back. The company has strongly criticized the SEC’s previous approach, calling it inconsistent, overly complicated, and legally weak.

Now, Ripple is laying out a clear plan to cut through the confusion – one that could finally bring long-overdue regulatory clarity.

Ripple Criticizes Previous SEC Leadership

In its response, Ripple strongly criticized the SEC’s former chairman, Gary Gensler  arguing that the agency’s past approach to crypto regulation was unclear, overly complicated, and lacked legal support. Ripple suggested that the SEC intentionally created confusion to hide its failure to follow proper legal processes.

To fix this, Ripple outlined three key steps the SEC should take to improve regulatory clarity.

Ripple’s Three-Step Plan for Clearer Regulations

1. Focus on True Securities
Ripple believes the SEC should only regulate assets that legally qualify as securities under federal law. The company argued that many digital assets, especially those that do not generate profit or yield, should not be classified as securities.

2. Enforce Existing Laws Instead of Creating New Ones
Ripple urged the SEC to stick to the laws already in place instead of introducing new rules that could create further confusion. The company stressed that only Congress has the power to make new laws, and the SEC should focus on enforcing existing regulations.

3. Provide Clear Guidelines
Ripple called on the SEC to take a more transparent approach to crypto regulations. It praised the SEC’s decision to clarify that meme coins are not securities, saying such clear guidance helps reduce uncertainty in the market. Ripple is now pushing for similar clarity across the entire crypto industry.

Ripple vs. SEC Lawsuit Nears Its End

Meanwhile, the long-running legal battle between Ripple and the SEC is close to wrapping up. The SEC has dropped its appeal against Ripple, leaving only Ripple’s cross-appeal as the final step. Many legal experts believe Ripple will withdraw its appeal once a favorable agreement with the SEC is reached.

After years of regulatory chaos, the SEC and Ripple might finally be on the same page. The real question is: will crypto finally get the clarity it deserves?

Tishwash:  Sources: Qaani Warned Iraqi Factions Against "Provoking the Americans"

 Houthis Close Headquarters in Central Baghdad Following Advice from the Coordination Framework

Reliable sources revealed to Asharq Al-Awsat the contents of an Iranian message to leaders of Shiite factions in Iraq, which included strict instructions to "not provoke the Americans and Israelis," warning of attacks on Baghdad similar to those targeting the Houthi group in Yemen.

For weeks, Iraqi groups loyal to Tehran have shown a marked decline in their hostile activities under international pressure and US attacks on the Houthis.

The sources said that Esmail Qaani, commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, delivered a message from the Iranian leadership during a recent visit to Iraq.

Qaani warned the faction leaders that "US military attacks against Houthi facilities could quickly backfire on Baghdad."

Qaani called on Iraqi factions to "refrain from engaging in any military activity during this sensitive period," and stressed the need to "take further measures to stop or reduce armed manifestations."

The sources quoted a Shiite faction commander as saying that "Qaani conveyed strict instructions from the Iranian leadership urging Iraqi parties to avoid all forms of provocation against the Americans or Israelis." He said that "a single spark could open a front in Iraq." He added, "The leaders of the Iraqi factions were comforted by the message due to the intense pressure they have been facing for months."

The sources reported that "Tehran's assessment is that the Americans will not hesitate to carry out attacks against targets inside Iraq if the factions show a field response in support of the Houthis."

Reports indicated that Qaani visited the capital, Baghdad, last week and met with politicians in the "Coordination Framework" and leaders of armed factions.

Qaani's visits to Baghdad are often shrouded in secrecy, but his meetings focused on representatives of pro-Tehran groups and prominent leaders in the ruling coalition.

Reports claimed that Qaani renewed "Tehran's commitment to support its allies in Baghdad if they come under pressure from the US."  link

UAE COMMITS TO $1.4 TRILLION US INVESTMENT, WHITE HOUSE SAYS

WASHINGTON/DUBAI, March 21 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates has committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in the United States after top UAE officials met President Donald Trump this week, the White House said on Friday.

Th e framework will "substantially increase the UAE's existing investments in the U.S. economyin AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing, the White House said in a statement.

UAE COMMITS TO $1.4 TRILLION US INVESTMENT, WHITE HOUSE SAYS

WASHINGTON/DUBAI, March 21 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates has committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in the United States after top UAE officials met President Donald Trump this week, the White House said on Friday.

The framework will "substantially increase the UAE's existing investments in the U.S. economyin AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing, the White House said in a statement.

The White House did not outline how UAE investments would reach $1.4 trillion, with some of the deals unveiled as part of the framework having already been announced.

The only fully new deal appeared to be an investment by Emirates Global Aluminium in what would be the first new aluminum smelter in the United States in 35 years, the White House said, adding the plant "would nearly double U.S. domestic aluminum production".

"Developing a primary aluminium smelter in the U.S. has been part of EGA's ambitions for several years," a spokesperson for the firm said in a statement.

The UAE, an oil producer and longtime security partner of the U.S., is looking to deepen investment ties with Washington and is emerging as a global leader in AI, one of the sectors it is betting on to diversify its economy away from energy.

In September, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan met former U.S. President Joe Biden, in the first visit of a UAE president to the White House, as the two leaders discussed deepening cooperation in areas such as AI, investments and space exploration.

Gulf sovereign wealth funds, including Abu Dhabi's $330-billion Mubadala, are already big U.S. investors, and Trump and his family have business ties to the region.

OVAL OFFICE MEETING

Trump in January asked Saudi Arabia to spend upwards of $1 trillion in the U.S. economy, over four years, including purchases of military equipment, and said this month he likely would make his first trip abroad to the Gulf country to seal an investment agreement.

The deal, which could happen between this month or the next, would come at a time when Saudi Arabia, the Arab world's biggest economy, has been taking a more prominent role in U.S. foreign policyThe Gulf country is set to host diplomatic talks around Ukraine involving the United States and Russia next week.

The White House said on Friday the UAE agreement resulted from a meeting that Trump held on Tuesday with national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan in the Oval Office and a dinner that Vice President JD Vance and several cabinet members held with the UAE delegation, which included the heads of major UAE sovereign wealth funds and corporations.

Among the tie-ups highlighted on Friday was a partnership between UAE sovereign wealth fund ADQ, which is chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon, and U.S. private equity firm Energy Capital Partners, for a $25 billion U.S.-focused initiative to invest in energy infrastructure and data centers. That had been previously announced two days ago.

A commitment by XRG, the international investment arm of UAE state oil company ADNOC launched in November, to support U.S. natural gas production and exports with an investment in the NextDecade liquefied natural gas export facility in Texas, had previously been made public last year by ADNOC, under Biden.

AUSTRALIA OUTLINES CRYPTO REGULATION PLAN, PROMISES ACTION ON DEBANKING

The Albanese-led government intends to release draft legislation in 2025 for public consultation and promised to work with Australia’s four largest banks to better understand de-banking.

Australia’s government, under its ruling center-left Labor Party, has proposed a new crypto framework regulating exchanges under existing financial services laws and has promised to tackle debanking.

It comes ahead of a federal election slated to be held on or before May 17, which current polling shows is shaping up to a dead heat between Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Labor and the opposing Coalition led by Peter Dutton.

The Treasury Department said in a March 21 statement that crypto exchanges, custody services and some brokerage firms that trade or store crypto will come under the new laws.

The regime imposes similar compliance requirements as other financial services in the country, such as following rules safeguarding customer assets, obtaining an Australian Financial Services Licence and meeting minimum capital requirements.

In August 2022, the government initiated a series of industry consultations to draft a crypto regulatory framework.

“Our legislative reforms will extend existing financial services laws to key digital asset platforms, but not to all of the digital asset ecosystem,” the Treasury said in its statement.

Small-scale and startup platforms that don’t meet specific size thresholds will be exemptalong with firms that develop blockchain-related software or create digital assets that aren’t financial products.

Payment stablecoins will be treated as a type of stored-value facility under the Government’s Payments Licensing Reforms; however, some stablecoins and wrapped tokens will be exempt.

“Dealing or secondary market trading in these products will be not treated as a dealing activity, and platforms where they are traded will not be treated as operating a market simply because of that trading activity,” the Treasury said.

As part of its crypto agenda, Albanese’s government has also promised to work with Australia’s four largest banks to better understand the extent and nature of de-banking.

There will also be a review into a central bank digital currency
 and an Enhanced Regulatory Sandbox in 2025, allowing businesses to test new financial products without needing a license.

Albanese’s government intends to release a draft of the legislation for public consultation. However, a change of government could be on the horizon with a looming federal election, a date for which is yet to be called.

Dutton’s center-right Coalition had earlier promised to prioritize crypto regulation if it wins the election.

The latest YouGov poll published on March 20 shows the Coalition and Labor neck in neck for a two-party preferred vote.

Caroline Bowler, the CEO of local crypto exchange BTC Markets, said in a statement shared with Cointelegraph that the areas of reform are sensible and would keep Australia competitive with global peers.

However, she thinks there “will be additional detail required on capital adequacy and custody requirements.”

“We need to ensure that these requirements aren’t overly burdensome for business investment in Australia,” Bowler said.

Kraken Australia’s managing director, Jonathon Miller, said there is an “urgent need for bespoke crypto legislation” to address the existing confusion and uncertainty in the country’s industry.

“We believe that by establishing a clear crypto regulatory framework and mitigating problems like debanking, government can remove the barriers hampering growth in the Australian economy,” he said.

Clare:  New shipping line: Umm Qasr receives first mega-ship from South Korea

3/20/2025

On Wednesday, Farhan Al-Fartousi, Director of Iraq's Ports, announced the inauguration of a new maritime line with the arrival of a South Korean giant vessel at Umm Qasr Port.

In a statement to Shafaq News, Al-Fartousi described the launch of the new line as "an important historical step," noting that this journey is the first of its kind.

The first giant container ship of the South Korean company HMM arrived at Umm Qasr Ports, marking the beginning of a new era of trade cooperation between Iraq and South Korea.

"The ship is 366 meters long, with a maximum capacity of 16,000 containers, although it arrived with a lower load," Al-Fartousi added.

He emphasized that Iraq is working to strengthen cooperation with leading countries in maritime transport to "achieve the best economic benefits."

Al-Fartousi also anticipated a greater flow of goods and commodities through Iraq's ports in the future, "which will contribute to boosting trade activity and fostering national economic growth in Iraq."LINK

Mnt Goat  I am going to show you the ...events that...can have a huge impact on moving forward with the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. These events include:  1. ...the direct implementation of the ASYCUDA SYSTEM at customs throughout Iraq 2.  ...the “White Paper” Pillars of Financial Reform... we know that the...efforts are all but fully completed.  3. ...the issue of the parallel market (black market) and the CBI now tells us they have to “kill it” permanently.  4.  The Silk Road and Industrial Cities projects.  5.  The US has already declared that Iraq must deal with the Iranian militia...According to the US president, Iraq must reverse its course from an Iranian puppet state. 6.  The passing of the Oil and Gas law...  I firmly believe that it will be convergence of these six (6) activities above that will get us the reinstatement back to FOREX.

Frank26  In the beginning, the exchange rate is looking for at least 1 to 1 with the American dollar, not to be matched with it but to be paired with it and possibly a basket of international currencies with value for each other.  Then later on the Real Effective Exchange Rate will come in a float...As the whole world uses your currency it will climb in international value by trading it...using it...selling it, by crossing it from bank to bank, platform to platform.  The dinar will grow internationally, then at that point the CBI will control this financial growth of your exchange rate by monitoring it and then capping it at a specific number that was tested and approved through the RV phase of your monetary reform.

BRICS Just Took Another Step against the US Dollar

BRICS Just Took Another Step against the US Dollar

Geopolitical Analyst:  3-20-2025

The landscape of global finance is shifting, and the BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – are at the forefront of a potential revolution.

In a bold move that challenges the long-standing dominance of the US dollar, BRICS finance ministers recently finalized a new payment mechanism designed to bypass the dollar in international trade.

 But what does this actually mean, how will it affect the flow of goods and money around the world, and most importantly, how could it impact you?

BRICS Just Took Another Step against the US Dollar

Geopolitical Analyst:  3-20-2025

The landscape of global finance is shifting, and the BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – are at the forefront of a potential revolution.

In a bold move that challenges the long-standing dominance of the US dollar, BRICS finance ministers recently finalized a new payment mechanism designed to bypass the dollar in international trade.

 But what does this actually mean, how will it affect the flow of goods and money around the world, and most importantly, how could it impact you?

For years, the BRICS nations have been subtly chipping away at the US dollar’s seemingly unshakeable reign. This recent agreement marks a significant escalation, signaling a clear intention to de-dollarize international trade and reclaim economic sovereignty. But why is this such a monumental development?

The US dollar has been the world’s undisputed reserve currency for decades, facilitating over 88% of global foreign exchange transactions. Its stability and widespread acceptance have made it the go-to currency for international trade and a crucial asset for many nations to stabilize their economies. However, the BRICS nations are now resolutely saying, “No more.”

The recent steps taken by the BRICS nations are already sending ripples throughout the global financial system. The international monetary order, which has been heavily reliant on the US dollar for decades, is facing an unprecedented challenge. If these trends continue, the dollar’s dominance could weaken considerably over the next decade.

A key driver behind this shift is the growing frustration amongst many countries, particularly in the developing world, regarding their dependence on the US-led financial system.

The present global financial infrastructure grants the US considerable leverage over other nations, enabling Washington to impose sanctions, restrict access to the SWIFT payment system, and influence international lending institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.

The BRICS nations’ move to de-dollarize is not just a financial maneuver, it’s a statement of intent. It represents a desire for greater economic independence and a challenge to the established global financial order.

As this movement gains momentum, it will undoubtedly reshape the future of global trade and have a ripple effect on economies and individuals around the world. It’s a development worth watching closely, as it could redefine the economic landscape for years to come.

SEC’S OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON RIPPLE LAWSUIT STILL PENDING: HERE’S WHAT WE CAN EXPECT

Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, recently announced that the SEC has finally dropped its appeal against Ripple, marking the end of a lengthy legal battle that lasted over three years. The SEC has decided not to pursue further legal action, confirming that Ripple is no longer under threat from the regulatory body.

This decision has had an immediate impact on XRP’s price, which surged following the announcement. The legal saga, which began with the SEC’s claim that Ripple violated securities laws by selling XRP, has been a major point of contention in the cryptocurrency space.

Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett responded, explaining that the SEC still needs to formally approve the withdrawal of its appealOnce the Commission gives the green light, they can expect a press release similar to the one issued earlier this year when the SEC dismissed its lawsuit against Coinbase.

Terrett added that the SEC typically addresses matters of litigation and enforcement during their closed meetingsThe dismissal of the Ripple case will likely be discussed at one of these meetings, which is scheduled for next Thursday.

RIPPLE CEO PREDICTS NEW RLUSD CRYPTO TO BE TOP 5 STABLECOIN BY YEAR END FOLLOWING SEC’S DROPPED XRP LAWSUIT

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says the firm’s dollar-pegged crypto asset will become a top stablecoin by the end of the year after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dropped its lawsuit against the payments platform.

In a new interviewGarlinghouse says that RLUSD – which launched in December 2024 – will grow into a top-five stablecoin after the regulatory agency dropped its lawsuit against Ripple Labs for allegedly violating securities law.

According to Garlinghouse, the stablecoins sector of the industry should see massive growth in the next few years.

“I think we’re underestimating how big [stablecoins] might get. Today, that market is about $230 billion. Some smart people think that may go up 10x in the next five years – I think that’s probably right…

Ripple launched its own stablecoin at the end of the last year that’s already ahead of our own internal forecast in terms of where we are at this point

We’re still really small, but the goal is by the end of the year, for RLUSD, Ripple’s stablecoin, to be one of the top five in the market, and I think the whole market is going to grow dramatically this year.

Earlier this weekthe SEC announced it is dropping its case against Ripple Labs for allegedly selling unregistered securities, causing XRP, the digital asset associated with the firm, to rally.

Ripple was initially sued by the SEC in 2020, but a judge in 2022 ruled that the open-market sales of XRP to retail investors do not qualify as securities.

XRP is trading for $2.47 at time of writing, a 2.4% decrease on the day while RLUSD has a market cap of $169.6 billion.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Fri. 21 March 2025

Compiled Fri. 21March 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: It was all about money. Just in the past four weeks the Trump/Musk DOGE investigations have verified a mind boggling Deepstate money laundering scheme: the U.S. Treasury cannot account for $4.1 trillion in payments.

That amounts to over a third of the National Debt – which was supposedly owed to the privately owned by bankers of the Deepstate Federal Reserve as a result of them charging US Taxpayers interest to use their own monies – the US Dollar having been made fiat long ago by the same Deepstate perpetrators.

Global Currency Reset:

Thurs. 20 March 2025 Bruce:

There were 18 currencies in the World going up in value.

The Dinar has (allegedly) revalued.

The new currency rates were now (allegedly) on the Bank, Redemption Center and Forex screens and populating up in value.

Tier4b (Us, the Internet Group) would not receive our appointments until the rates were solid on the screens, which they weren’t yet.

The Forex screen rate is not the rate we would receive at the Redemption Center, which would be (allegedly) higher except for the Dong.

Bond Holders were going into Reno and Miami (not Zurich or New York) to redeem their bonds and will likely have access to their accounts by Sat. 22 March.

Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) will (allegedly) receive notification to set redemption appointments sometime between Fri. 21 March and Tues. 25 March.

Wed. 19 March 2025 Wolverine: Gold backed currency (allegedly) started Tues. 18 March. People in Colombia are getting paid on the bond. Good news from Zurich.

Wed. 19 March 2025 Mike Bara: I have been told Zurich and Reno are paying out. I have reports that things were extremely active in Reno. Exchanging money, money flowing. Different groups of people from those we were hearing from. I have been told of people being paid in Zurich.

Wed. 19 March 2025 Jen: What we got on Monday is that most paymasters have funds to distribute. They will (allegedly) do so this week. Approximately 90% complete on other tiers.

Wed. 19 March 2025 Elaina: I have been tracking a lot of pieces of data for money movements and watching various centers of influence. This morning, I observed 30 private aircraft fly into Reno in very quick succession. Between 900am and 945am PST. A US Government Learjet came in at 830am PST. There was also a higher than normal number of private aircraft that arrived into Zurich in the last 24 hours.

Global Currency Reset – It’s Happening Now! …Quantum Financial System on Telegram

The Storm Has Arrived! The gold-backed financial system has BEGUN. Reports confirm payouts are moving FAST in Colombia, Zurich, and Reno. This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. Iraq’s codes are (allegedly) being released. The revaluation is imminent. Paymasters are locked in, and high-level banking elites are scrambling.

MONEY IS MOVING. Once Reno is fully confirmed, within HOURS the Dinar will revalue. The pieces are falling into place! The corrupt fiat system is crumbling in real time. Sources from Zurich and Reno confirm large payouts happening NOW. If Reno is active, the Dinar RV will explode within 72 hours—or even TONIGHT.

Massive financial movements cannot be ignored. Private jets flooded Reno and Zurich in rapid succession, and a U.S. Government Learjet landed at 8:30 AM PST. What are they preparing for? The answer is clear: Tier 4B is about to be unleashed.

TRUMP CLEARED THE PATH! The Deepstate minions in Iraq were eliminated so that Iran couldn’t interfere with this reset. The Cabal fought to delay it, but they failed. Trump’s operatives ensured Iraq could proceed without retaliation. The result? The Forex rates are ready to shift. This is financial warfare, and we are WINNING.

Banks are already showing the new rates! Chase & JP Morgan screens confirm skyrocketing values: IQD: $5.23 VND: $3.89

The system is nearly 90% complete. Notifications are set to drop ANY MOMENT. Emails will start rolling out AS SOON AS TODAY. Do NOT be caught off guard—have everything prepared.

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN! Keep an eye on your emails. The next 24 hours could change EVERYTHING. The fiat system is on life support, and the new financial era is about to begin. STAY READY. IT’S HAPPENING!

Frank26  I very strongly believe as the cards are being dealt out, we investors of the Iraqi dinar are holding a trump card...Security and stability is the only thing that we need. Do we need to calculate the exchange rate No.  The RV phase took care of that over a dozen years ago.  Do we need to get the banks up to modern technology, up to par with the rest of the international world No, the US Treasury is on the ninth floor, the whole freaking floor ...Do you think that's for 1310?  No, I don't Frank.  Well good for you then because you hold a trump card don't you?  Yes you do.

MarkZ   [via PDK]  Question:  Mark do you think there’s a chance this could go into April No – I do not.  IMO, There is a possibility that exchanges could go into April…just because exchanges could take awhile.  I do have 3 different groups that have expressed to me their expectations to be processed over the weekend. If this happens it is highly possible to see 4a moving over the weekend...I already have some wealth managers/redemption folks tell me they are scheduled to work this weekend.
