CHINA MOVES TO WIN TRADE WAR AS TRUMP ESCALATES, EXPERT WARNS

▪️China is throwing down the economic gauntlet as Trump’s 104% tariffs take effect, signaling a long-game trade war strategy fueled by yuan devaluation and relentless countermeasures.

▪️Trump Escalates, but China’s Playing for the Win—Expert Sees Warpath Ahead

China is sharpening its stance in the economic clash with the United States, issuing what financial leader Nigel Green has characterized as a deliberate and forceful message. On April 8, the CEO and founder of international financial advisory firm Devere Group warned that recent policy signals from Beijing point to a government readying itself for a long-term trade war.

Central to that message is China’s move to let the yuan depreciate, which Green described as a calculated maneuver. He stressed:

The weakening yuan is not simply market mechanics at work; it is Beijing putting Washington on notice that far more forceful actions are in reserve if escalation continues.

Facing heightened U.S.-China trade tensions, Beijing allowed the yuan’s reference rate to cross the symbolic 7.20 mark per dollar for the first time since September 2023, signaling a shift in foreign exchange policy.

The People’s Bank of China set the fixing at 7.2038 on April 8, leading to the onshore yuan’s decline, despite improving investor sentiment. Analysts interpret this as a move toward managed depreciation to support exports amid economic strain, though sharp devaluation remains risky due to capital flight and trade negotiation setbacks.

President Donald Trump escalated pressure with threats of 50% tariffs, prompting China to vow retaliation and impose rare earth controls. 

According to the White House press secretaryan additional 104% in tariffs took effect at noon Eastern time on April 8 due to China’s failure to lift its retaliatory measures

Green dismissed the idea that Beijing would fold under mounting pressure from Trump’s administration. Instead, he emphasized the Chinese government’s strategy of resilience and counter-planning.

This is now a battle of endurance. Trump is ratcheting up the pressure, believing he can force concessions through intimidation.” He contrasted this with Beijing’s approach:

Beijing, however, is determined to show that it will not be cowed. Rather than rolling over, China is fortifying itself — insulating key industries, diversifying its supply chains, and preparing policy weapons for a prolonged standoff.

Behind the scenes, both governments are proceeding cautiously, but Green observed increasing confidence from China. He said the timing and nature of the yuan’s decline reflect Beijing’s serious stancedescribing it as a calculated move rather than a short-term devaluation.

Green characterized it as a clear signal to the White House that further escalation will carry consequences. He added that the financial sector is already adapting, with China signaling its readiness to use significant economic tools if tensions continue.

“Trump’s White House should not mistake restraint for weakness. Beijing is showing strategic patience, but there’s real steel underneath. If Washington continues to escalate, China’s response will not be meek — it will be methodical, far-reaching, and designed to maximize impact where it hurts the most,” Green opined.

 He added that global markets are entering a phase where tactical actions, such as a weakening yuan, are not solely financial signals but part of broader geopolitical strategy.

The Devere executive advised investors to prepare for a long-term shift, emphasizing that China is planning for sustained change. He said structural changes in global trade could define the next decade. Green concluded with a stark forecast:

Beijing is setting the terms of engagement. Washington can choose to escalate, but it will not do so without facing increasingly sophisticated countermeasures. China is no longer trying to avoid a trade war at all costs — it is preparing to win one if forced into it

CHINA AND RUSSIA BEGIN SETTLING TRADE TRANSACTIONS USING BITCOIN

According to a VanEck report, China and Russia have begun settling some trade transactions using Bitcoin. VanEck’s Head of Digital Assets Research, Matthew Sigelreports that the two BRICS nations have already begun settling some energy transactions in Bitcoin and other digital assets. This comes as the Trump administration’s tariff policy has reignited global trade tensions.

China and Russia have already worked on trade deals with one another without the US dollar. Now however, with economic concerns spreading worldwide, the two countries have attempted to ditch fiat altogether. 

Sigel also shared that Bolivia has announced plans to import electricity using cryptoFrench energy utility EDF is also exploring whether it can mine Bitcoin with surplus electricity currently exported to Germany

“These are early signs that Bitcoin is evolving from a speculative asset into a functional monetary tool—particularly in economies looking to bypass the dollar and reduce exposure to U.S.-led financial systems,” Sigel said.

Investing experts are looking to assets like cryptocurrency and precious metals in a time of economic instability. In recent months, the US dollar has fallen approximately 6.1% since the month of January.

Foreign holdings of US assets had previously reached around $62 trillion in 2024, but these flows are now actively reversing as investors look for and seek out alternatives in various markets. Thus, Gold and cryptocurrencies could become a worthy replacement for trade.

Another VanEck analyst, Imaru Casanova, feels that Gold could ultimately be a top asset in an economic recession. “Gold and gold stocks should ultimately benefit from the heightened level of risk across the global economy and global financial system,” she says.

 “The unpredictability of economic policies and heightened market volatility should boost gold’s appeal as the preferred safe-haven asset during times of global uncertainty.”

With one half of the new deal in Bitcoin, Russia, did not get tariffs imposed on it by the US, the other half, China, did. As a result, the latter has ordered all state-run banks in the country to reduce purchasing the US dollar in its reserves.

China is Dedollarizing, China Launches $1.2 Trillion Digital Yuan System, Bypasses Western SWIFT

China is Dedollarizing, China Launches $1.2 Trillion Digital Yuan System, Bypasses Western SWIFT

Lena Petrova:  4-8-2025

Recent developments suggest China is making a concerted effort to lessen its reliance on the US dollar, and a key piece of this strategy is the rollout of its digital Yuan system.

With a reported $1.2 trillion investment, this sophisticated platform aims to offer an alternative to the Western-dominated SWIFT financial messaging system, potentially reshaping the global financial landscape.

China is Dedollarizing, China Launches $1.2 Trillion Digital Yuan System, Bypasses Western SWIFT

Lena Petrova:  4-8-2025

Recent developments suggest China is making a concerted effort to lessen its reliance on the US dollar, and a key piece of this strategy is the rollout of its digital Yuan system.

With a reported $1.2 trillion investment, this sophisticated platform aims to offer an alternative to the Western-dominated SWIFT financial messaging system, potentially reshaping the global financial landscape.

For years, the dominance of the US dollar in international trade and finance has been a subject of debate. China, the world’s second-largest economy, has long expressed concerns about the potential vulnerabilities and geopolitical leverage that such a system affords the United States.

The digital Yuan represents a significant step towards creating a parallel financial infrastructure that could, over time, challenge the dollar’s hegemony.

The digital Yuan, or e-CNY, is a central bank digital currency (CBDC) issued and controlled by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC). Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which are decentralized, the e-CNY operates under a centralized authority, allowing the PBOC to maintain strict control over its issuance and circulation.

China’s launch of its digital Yuan system marks a significant step towards de-dollarization and a potential reshaping of the global financial order. While the dollar’s dominance remains firmly entrenched, the e-CNY offers a glimpse into a future where alternative financial systems compete for prominence.

The success of this endeavor will depend on a complex interplay of economic, political, and technological factors, and its impact will be felt across the world. As the digital Yuan evolves and its adoption spreads, the global financial landscape will undoubtedly be transformed.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

DRAMATIC SELL-OFF OF US GOVERNMENT BONDS AS TARIFF WAR PANIC DEEPENS

US government bonds, traditionally seen as one of the world’s safest financial assets, are suffering a dramatic sell-off as Donald Trump’s escalation of his tariff war with China sends panic through all sectors of the financial markets.

The falls suggest that as Trump’s fresh wave of tariffs on dozens of economies came into force, including 104% levies against Chinese goods, investors are beginning to lose confidence in the US as a cornerstone of the global economy.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

DRAMATIC SELL-OFF OF US GOVERNMENT BONDS AS TARIFF WAR PANIC DEEPENS

US government bonds, traditionally seen as one of the world’s safest financial assets, are suffering a dramatic sell-off as Donald Trump’s escalation of his tariff war with China sends panic through all sectors of the financial markets.

The falls suggest that as Trump’s fresh wave of tariffs on dozens of economies came into force, including 104% levies against Chinese goods, investors are beginning to lose confidence in the US as a cornerstone of the global economy.

UK bonds also came under pressure from investors, who sent the cost of financing government borrowing to its highest level since 1998, heaping further pain on Rachel Reeves as the chancellor struggles to prevent her budget plans from being wrecked by a panic on global markets.

The yield – or interest rate – on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond rose to 4.516% on Wednesday before slipping back to 4.451%, up 0.14 percentage points on the day. This week it has undergone the three biggest intraday moves since Trump was elected in November. Yields move inversely to prices, so surging yields mean falling prices as demand drops.

The move in the 30-year bond was more dramatic. The yield briefly jumped above 5% to its highest since late 2023 and was last trading at 4.899%, or 0.12 percentage points higher than Tuesday.

Both yields came down from their highest levels, however, after a much-anticipated $39bn (£31bn) US bond auction later in the day met market expectations.

“This is a fire sale of Treasuries,” said Calvin Yeoh, a portfolio manager at the hedge fund Blue Edge Advisors“I haven’t seen moves or volatility of this size since the chaos of the pandemic in 2020,” he told Bloomberg.

Analysts believe the US Federal Reserve may need to step inJim Reid, at Deutsche Bank, said: “Markets are pricing a growing probability of an emergency [interest rate] cut, just as we saw during the Covid turmoil and the height of the GFC [global financial crisis] in 2008.”

UK bonds came under severe pressure after the US moves
. The yield on a 30-year UK gilt hit 5.65%, surpassing a previous 27-year high of 5.472% set in January.

Shorter-dated 10-year gilt yields were slightly higher at 4.78%, while two-year yields ticked down to 4%.

Higher yields on gilts – UK government bonds – will make things even more difficult for Downing Street, as it will raise the cost of borrowing to fund investment.

China’s intransigence in the face of escalating US tariffs appeared to indicate that the world’s two largest economies were heading for a showdown, with an outcome that analysts said was difficult to predict.

“When challenged, we will never back down,” said China’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Lin JianThe commerce ministry said: “China will fight to the end if the US side is bent on going down the wrong path.” Beijing has promised further countermeasures.

It was not clear whether China, which is one of the world’s largest holders of Treasuries, included among its policy changes the sale of those bonds, accelerating the sell-off and the US administration’s financial pain.

Global stock markets suffered another tumultuous day as the tariffs took effect.

Japan’s Nikkei benchmark index fell almost 4%, while Taiwan’s benchmark stock index was 5.8% lower. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index recouped some earlier falls to close 0.4% down, and South Korea’s Kospi 200 index dropped by 1.8%.

However, China’s stock markets rose, appearing to weather the storm after government interventions. The SSE composite index in Shanghai ended the day 1.1% higher, while the Shenzhen SE composite rose 2.2%.

In Europethe major markets also fell back. In London, the FTSE 100 dropped by 3% on Wednesday, immediately undoing the gains on Tuesday. Germany’s Dax index dropped by about 2.3%, leading to a 16% drop since 18 March, while France’s Cac 40 fell by 3.3%. Spain’s Ibex index was down by 2.2%.

TRUMP'S 90-DAY TARIFF PAUSE SENDS BITCOIN BACK TO $81,000

▪️President Donald Trump has paused tariffs for 90 days and lowered reciprocal duties to 10% for most countries.

▪️Markets immediately bounced on the news — bitcoin reclaimed $81,000 while equities trotted higher.
▪️Analysts had said Wednesday’s FOMC minutes may spur a “dead cat bounce” and herald a potential multi-week recovery.


The tit-for-tat trade escalation between China and the United States once again reverberated throughout global financial markets and cryptocurrencies on Wednesday — but prices surged this time.

Bitcoin jumped 5% in minutes to trade above $81,000 as President Trump responded to China's escalation by increasing tariffs on the Asian giant to 125%. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap had dropped below the $80,000 mark following the implementation of the president's tariff plans on Sunday, April 6.

In the same beatTrump announced a 90-day pause for import duties on other countries and reduced reciprocal tariffs to 10% in the interim. "Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately," Trump wrote on Truth Social, a social media platform he owns.

"I have authorized a 90-day PAUSE and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately," the President added, noting that over 75 countries had engaged the U.S. in commerce negotiations.

Crypto markets and equities immediately skyrocketed following the news. Ether flew 7% to hit $1,580, according to The Block's price page. Major altcoins like Solana and XRP posted double-digit bounces as the total cryptocurrency market flipped green, rising above $2.6 trillion. The GMCI 30 recorded an 8% uptick as the top 30 digital currencies by market cap soared, according to The Block’s data page. Data from Yahoo Finance showed similar price action in U.S. markets. The S&P 500, DOW Jones, Nasdaq, and Russell 2000 all rose more than 5% shortly after President Trump's post.

Dr Kirill Kretovsenior automation expert at CoinPanel, told The Block that bitcoin and crypto’s amped volatility was unsurprising, considering sudden price swings in more established markets. "Even traditional markets are behaving like memecoins,Kretov said. "Just look at the recent S&P 500 spike of +8% on fake news, followed by a -3.5% correction within minutes. If that’s the new normal for tradfi, why would we expect bitcoin to behave differently? Especially with how thin and easily moved the crypto market is right now."

Relief from macro data

Minutes from the March Federal Open Market Committee meeting to be released Wednesday afternoon may spark a market recoveryDarren Chu, contributing analyst at BRNhad said before Trump's latest jab at China. Also, Thursday’s Consumer Price Index and Friday’s Produce Price Index data could offer a clearer picture of U.S. inflation, which are key factors for the Federal Reserve’s future decisions on monetary policy.

"Odds are moderate and rising for a multi-day to multi-week Dead Cat Bounce to begin as early as today 2 pm EST with the release of the US FOMC meeting minutes, or by Thursday with the US CPI and unemployment claims, or Friday with the US PPI and preliminary UoM consumer sentiment and inflation expectations,Chu said.

U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell previously said the central bank would respond to hard data rather than sentiment and was in no rush to pivot its policy stance. Powell also cautioned President Trump’s tariff maneuvers, warning that economic repercussions like higher inflation and cooling growth rates might arise.

They also stated on an official basis that for Foreign Currency for Travelers: Cards will be available at the official Central Bank rate via the e-governance system.

They know this is the only way to get on Donald Trump’s good side. Because he said today that the only way he will make a deal with these countries is if it benefits the American people.

Otherwise he does not want to entertain anyone not looking to enhance the livelihoods of the US workers.

Do you all know how historical this is?

These people will walk away from the negotiations table signing deals that have you as the 1st priority.

But in order to do so these countries will have to gix their exchange rate system. And you already know what that means.

Compiled Wed. 9 April 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Tues. 8 April 2025: BOOOOM! Trump’s Tariffs IGNITE Global Financial MELTDOWN — Markets COLLAPSING, Elites PANICKING, and GOLD SKYROCKETING… This Was ALWAYS the Plan …QFS on Telegram

The war has begun — not with bullets, but with gold, tariffs, and the destruction of a system built to enslave. On April 2, 2025, President Donald J. Trump dropped the hammer: a 10% universal import tariff on every product entering the U.S., with China hit at 34%, the corrupt EU at 20%, and Vietnam slammed with 46%. This isn’t trade policy — this is a full-scale economic war against the globalist parasite network that hollowed out America.

While the media screams over a 14% drop in the S&P and a 19% Nasdaq crash, they’re ignoring the real story: Trump is bleeding out the old fiat system to birth something new. The temporary market panic is a calculated reset — a controlled collapse designed to drain the swamp’s economic engine and redirect America’s wealth back into the hands of the people.

And behind it all? Gold. For months, Trump’s military-aligned network has been quietly reclaiming stolen U.S. gold — recovered from underground vaults, foreign banks, and offshore accounts controlled by the cabal. That gold wasn’t for elites. It was seized, purified, and moved into the new Patriot Gold Reserve — built for the American people.

Now, the fiat dollar is being exposed as a fraud. Inflation projections under the old system hit 2.2%, but Trump flipped the board. He’s allowing the dollar to weaken just enough to cripple the illusion — while elevating gold to become the backbone of the new economy. And it’s working.

As of April 7, 2025 — gold is skyrocketing. This isn’t market reaction. It’s military precision. Trump has already re-linked America to a silent gold standard. It’s happening — right now.

Even more shocking: patriots are buying gold directly from Trump’s reserve. Real Americans — not bankers — are now holding gold once hidden by globalist hands. Every ounce sold weakens the old system and strengthens the new one. This isn’t redistribution. It’s retaliation. It’s justice.

Dozens of nations are now begging for deals. The EU is bluffing with threats. They’re panicked. Trump holds the leverage. He has the energy. He has the market. And now, he has the gold.

Everything was leading to this — the takedown of the Fed, the resurrection of energy, the silent purges, , the revival of U.S. manufacturing. It was all part of the blueprint. And now we’re here.

Trump has consolidated power — not for himself, but for the people. The tariffs aren’t hurting us. They’re suffocating the beast. Wall Street’s screams are the death rattle of a system that fed on debt, suffering, and control. That system is dying.

Gold is rising — and with it, a new Quantum Financial System is emerging. Real assets. Real sovereignty. Real freedom. The illusion is ending. The matrix is breaking. Trump unplugged America from their digital leash.

For the first time in generations, we stand on our own. No foreign bankers. No globalist masters. No puppet strings.

This is what MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN looks like: Tariffs that cut off foreign control. Gold that breaks the chains. A president who never surrendered. A people finally set free.

The old world is burning. And America is rising from the ashes.

Tues. 8 April 2025 BOOM!!! THIS IS HUGE! PRESIDENT TRUMP WASN’T JOKING… HE’S CALLED FOR CONGRESS TO ABOLISH THE INCOME TAX! …QFS on Telegram

President Trump has officially called on Congress to abolish the federal income tax — and this time, it’s not a campaign line. It’s a declaration of economic war against the system that’s robbed American workers for over a century.

“We don’t need to tax our people to deathh,” Trump said. “We need to tax the countries that take advantage of us.” With that, he laid the foundation for a bold transformation: eliminating income tax, restoring tariffs, and ending financial slavery imposed by globalist policy. This isn’t just a tax plan. It’s a direct strike against the Deepstate’s economic grip on the American people.

Before 1913, America operated without a federal income tax — and it thrived. For over four decades, the country saw explosive growth, rising wages, and massive industrial expansion. The government was funded by tariffs, not by draining the paychecks of hardworking citizens.

 That system built railroads, steel empires, and a middle class that didn’t need handouts or digital surveillance to survive. It was only with the 16th Amendment that the door opened for IRS overreach, centralized power, and bureaucratic control. Now, Trump is calling for a return — not to the past, but to the principle: sovereignty through strength, not submission through taxation.

Trump’s plan is simple, powerful, and historically proven. Shift the burden from Americans to foreign nations affecting our market. Tariff their goods, protect our industries, and use the revenue to run the country — just like we did before. It’s already working.

With strategic tariffs and controlled trade, the U.S. can generate enough to fund infrastructure, defense, and economic renewal without ever touching a citizen’s paycheck. And the fear in Washington proves it. They’re terrified not because it’s impossible — but because it ends their control. The income tax isn’t just revenue. It’s leverage. And Trump just threatened to take it away.

This is bigger than policy. It’s a philosophical reset — the true Great Economic Reset. Not Klaus Schwab’s digital prison, but an America-first model where freedom is earned, not rationed. The IRS loses power. The people gain it. The globalist playbook gets erased, and a new era begins — one where government serves, not rules.

Trump’s move isn’t reckless. It’s revolutionary. And it signals the end of tax-based tyranny and the rise of a system rooted in national strength, individual liberty, and unstoppable prosperity. The storm is not just political. It’s financial. And it’s here.

NEW YORK BILL PROPOSES USING BLOCKCHAIN TO SAFEGUARD ELECTION RESULTS

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

NEW YORK BILL PROPOSES USING BLOCKCHAIN TO SAFEGUARD ELECTION RESULTS

Assemblyman Clyde Vanel’s new proposal would evaluate how blockchain can secure voter records and election results.

Blockchain may soon be part of New York’s strategy to secure the democratic process.

That's the hope of Clyde Vanel (D-33), who filed Assembly Bill A7716 on Tuesdayproposing that the New York State Board of Elections study how blockchain technology could be used to protect voter records and election results.

The bill, currently in the Assembly Election Law Committee, calls for a comprehensive report within one year, examining blockchain’s potential as a tool for election integrity.

The legislation defines blockchain as a decentralized, cryptographically secured, immutable, and auditable ledger capable of delivering an “uncensored truth.

It mandates 
that the Board of Elections collaborate with the Office of Information Technology Services and engage experts in blockchain, cybersecurity, voter fraud, and election systems.

The final report must also consider blockchain implementations in other states and jurisdictions.

If the bill advances, it would need to pass through the full Assembly, undergo the same process in the Senate, and then be signed into law by the governor.

For now, it remains under committee review, pending discussion or amendment. Yet, should the bill be enacted, the state board would be legally obligated to deliver its findings within 12 months.

This is not Vanel’s first push for such legislation. Versions of the bill have appeared in legislative sessions since 2017, though none have made it to the Governor’s desk.

This year’s version, however, arrives amid growing nationwide interest in exploring blockchain's role in public infrastructure, even as other states pursue very different use cases, such as crypto investment and regulatory reform.

Last monthUtah lawmakers approved HB230, a blockchain-friendly bill that protects crypto activities and infrastructure, but stripped language that would’ve allowed the state to invest in Bitcoin directly.

HB230 prohibits state and local governments from restricting individuals' and businesses' ability to accept digital assets as payment, use self-hosted or hardware wallets, and participate in blockchain activities such as operating nodes, developing software, transferring assets, and staking.

Meanwhile, the Bitcoin investment strategy gained momentum following President Trump’s March executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve at the federal level.

As of now, 47 Bitcoin reserve bills have been introduced in 26 states, with 41 still live, per reserve tracker Bitcoin Law data.

DOGE Stimulus Check Update

DOGE Stimulus Check Update: Here's the latest news on the dividend and when it may arrive

Shelby Slade, Arizona Republic  Tue, April 8, 2025

Many Americans worried about money and finances have been closely watching for the idea of DOGE dividends to become a reality. Azoria CEO James Fishback, the person who came up with the dividend idea, has said that he and others are working with lawmakers to get a proposal for the stimulus checks in front of Congress, which is the first step in the process.

There are other hurdles for the proposal, too, including the United States' current economic situation and saving enough money via the Department of Government Efficiency's cuts.

Shelby Slade, Arizona Republic  Tue, April 8, 2025

Many Americans worried about money and finances have been closely watching for the idea of DOGE dividends to become a reality. Azoria CEO James Fishback, the person who came up with the dividend idea, has said that he and others are working with lawmakers to get a proposal for the stimulus checks in front of Congress, which is the first step in the process.

There are other hurdles for the proposal, too, including the United States' current economic situation and saving enough money via the Department of Government Efficiency's cuts.

Here is the latest update on DOGE stimulus checks, including who would be eligible for the payment and when the dividends could be sent.

DOGE Stimulus Check Update

There are no major updates about the DOGE stimulus check. A formal proposal has not been made in Congress, which is the first step in the process. However, the CEO credited with the idea has said that he and his team are working on it.

"My team and I have met with dozens of Members of Congress in the past month. I am confident that DOGE Dividend checks with happen," James Fishback said in a April 1 post on X, formerly Twitter.

"Hard-working taxpayers deserve to be cut into DOGE's savings. It was *their* money all along."

There has also been intense speculation in Washington, D.C., about Elon Musk's future with the Trump administration. The conversation was triggered in part by Trump mentioning that Musk would need to return to overseeing his companies. Further speculation that Musk was being pushed out began to spread although the White House pushed back on that idea later in the week.

Musk also appeared to dodge questions about the DOGE stimulus checks — an idea that went viral among supporters in February — during a rally in Wisconsin on March 30. The billionaire and Tesla CEO ceded that any stimulus from DOGE's dubious savings would have to go through a congressional vote.

"It's somewhat up to Congress and maybe the president to, you know, as to whether specific checks are cut," Musk said.

When will DOGE stimulus checks be sent?

Tishwash:  Tomorrow... Iraqi and American Chambers of Commerce Sign Contract to Regulate Private Sector Operations

The head of the Federation of Iraqi Chambers of Commerce, Abdul Razzaq al-Zuhairi, announced today, Tuesday, the signing of an agreement with the American Chambers of Commerce to regulate the private sector tomorrow, Wednesday. He explained that the government has included regulating the private sector in its program.

In a statement to Al-Iraqiya News Agency, followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), al-Zuhairi said, "Tomorrow will witness the signing of an agreement with the American Chambers of Commerce to regulate the private sector."

He explained that "American companies are distinguished by greater flexibility and capabilities, and they have extensive experience working with countries around the world. In addition, Americans have everything they need to work in Iraq, especially in the field of industry."

He pointed out that "the banking base in Iraq has become large and global, and it is possible for us to work within it." He explained that "the agreement signed yesterday, in addition to the agreement to be signed tomorrow, includes regulating work in the Iraqi and American private sectors." He emphasized that "the government has included in its program the regulation of the private sector and supports many areas, especially loans and the purchase of machinery and equipment," noting that "despite the difficult circumstances we faced, the results were positive on the ground."

Al-Zuhairi also referred to "addressing taxes, customs, the companies law, and the agency law," indicating that "there is a package that the government sent to Parliament for a vote, which is the most important package."

He explained that "the work of the private sector requires continuous updating, as there are new systems, laws, and new programs that change from time to time. Land acquisition was previously under the agrarian reform law, as was the energy issue, and many other issues have been finalized."

He explained that "what the government has done over the past period has been exceptional," expressing his hope that "support for the private sector will continue in order to attract the largest number of international companies and employ the workforce."  link

Tishwash:  US Energy Secretary: I will visit the Middle East this week to promote investment in the United States.

 US Energy Secretary Chris Wright will begin a two-week tour of three Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

This trip, which will also include Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, is expected to pave the way for President Donald Trump's visit to those countries, likely in mid-May.

"I will be visiting the Middle East this week to promote investment in America," Wright wrote on his personal X account on Tuesday.

Looking forward to visiting the Middle East this week and promoting investment in America! https://t.co/qbj0ghIeoj

— Secretary Chris Wright (@SecretaryWright) April 8, 2025

 A source at the Ministry of Energy said that Wright will begin his trip in the United Arab Emirates, followed by Saudi Arabia over the weekend, and then Qatar, and will also meet with leaders of several countries. The source added that Wright will likely hold talks on ensuring abundant global oil supplies outside of countries whose oil exports are subject to US sanctions, including Iran, Venezuela, and Russia.

Discussions will also focus on the three countries' investments in the United States, after the UAE last month committed to a $1.4 trillion, 10-year investment framework in artificial intelligence, semiconductor, energy, and manufacturing infrastructure.

The source said that Wright will visit oil and gas production sites in the Middle East, looking for ways to reduce costs. He added that he will also visit a nuclear power plant in the UAE.  link

Tishwash:  How Iraq is Modernising and Diversifying its Growing Economy

How Iraq is Modernising and Diversifying its Growing Economy

For the last three years Iraq has enjoyed relative stability, good oil prices and a growing economy. For those who invested in the Iraqi stock market, returns of over 100% are common and GDP in 2025 is estimated to be up to 5%.

Oil and Gas sales has driven this expansion, but other factors such as sovereign wealth funds are now encouraged by the GOI's stability to invest, such as the Saudis with their Public investment fund, the Qataris ( both government and private sector, and the Gulf states, have driven around $3.5bn investment into infrastructure, housing and the development road initiative, in addition to Iraqis investing in consumer real estate such as cafes and housing  all feeding off economic and political confidence. The government has also pledged up to $400bn of investment into development, infrastructure and the Al Fawr port complex and the new $15bn trade deal with UK for cyber, telco and defence support.

At IBBCs Baghdad conference in February, over 350 business delegates flocked to hear the leading minsters or oil, communications, foreign affairs and key advisors to the Prime Minister, expand on opportunities in Iraq, where the atmosphere was palpably enthusiastic to participate in the new Iraq economy.

Beyond Infrastructure we also see expansion in Schooling and Universities, in more diverse services such as travel, tech and professional services like law and banking. Collaboration with international companies and countries is key to Iraq's evolution, as new skills and technologies are coming into the country, driven by international confidence in Iraq. Iraq needs a more skilled workforce to enable engineering and business expansion, and companies like Unihouse and Mselect are supporting these skills.

Indeed, IBBCs membership mix reflects this diversification, modernisation and internationalisation of the economy: private schools, training and skills companies, tech and media companies, high end added value design, and the establishment of Agritech and marine sector companies bringing expertise into the country like DPD, AL Zaman Group(Marine Shipbuilding company Uk Ltd ) Gold Sponsors, and CJ-ICM.

At our Spring Conference at the Mansion House on June 3rd we will showcase the leaders in these new sectors and explain why they are now investing and establishing in Iraq.

You will also meet the best of British expertise, through the sagacity of Lord Howell on energy, Lord Green on banking, Professor Frank Gunter with his report on Iraq Entrepreneurs, and from Iraq the minister of Transport, who will outline the significant infrastructure opportunities, as well as other Iraqi officials soon to be confirmed. Underpinning UK investment the UKEF CEO, Tim Reid, will present how companies can access the £billions in UK trade guarantees, Jon Wilks CMG ( former Ambassador) will articulate his much anticipated geo political insights and dynamics especially with an election looming and developments in Syria, Iran and the Middle East

The IFC on investment initiatives led by Hogan Lovells (Gold sponsor) and with TBI (Gold Sponsor), and key IBBC companies in energy, finance , maritime, agritech, tech and education will be evident on stage.

For those wanting more interactive discussion there are roundtables on Entrepreneurship, Growth, Transport (with Sardar, Gold Sponsors), Education and a special Tourism and heritage panel and exhibition. On 2nd June will be a special networking reception at the Mansion house for delegates, and the Tech forum online - covering how AI and Tech support the services sector- including its use in education, investment and Pharma.

To view the latest speaker, line up and to register, please go to this link on IBBCs website.

While the worlds stock markets are in turmoil, for once, Iraq presents a beacon of economic and social stability as it takes the long march towards modernity and diversification of its economy. Come and hear how this is happening and meet the people who are making it happen. Register here for the IBBC Mansion House conference.

Gold sponsors include: Trade bank of Iraq, Sardar Group and Al Zaman Group (Marine Shipbuilding company Uk Ltd), Hogan Lovells International LLP  link

XRP NEWS: RIPPLE SET TO BUY HIDDEN ROAD FOR $1.25B IN STRATEGIC DEAL

▪️Ripple acquires Hidden Road for $1.25B, becoming the first crypto firm to own a global multi-asset prime broker.

▪️The acquisition will see Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD used as collateral and Hidden Road's post-trade on XRP Ledger.

▪️This major deal, amidst positive regulatory shifts, positions Ripple and Hidden Road to bridge traditional and decentralized finance.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

XRP NEWS: RIPPLE SET TO BUY HIDDEN ROAD FOR $1.25B IN STRATEGIC DEAL

▪️Ripple acquires Hidden Road for $1.25B, becoming the first crypto firm to own a global multi-asset prime broker.

▪️The acquisition will see Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD used as collateral and Hidden Road's post-trade on XRP Ledger.

▪️This major deal, amidst positive regulatory shifts, positions Ripple and Hidden Road to bridge traditional and decentralized finance.

Ripple has taken a major step forward by agreeing to acquire one of the fastest-growing prime brokerages in the world. This deal marks a big moment for the company and the crypto industry, as Ripple becomes the first crypto firm to fully own and operate a global, multi-asset prime brokerage platform.

Ripple announced it will acquire Hidden Road for $1.25 billion. This is one of the largest acquisitions in the digital asset space so far, signaling Ripple’s serious commitment to expanding its reach into traditional finance.

Ripple’s Stablecoin Steps Into the Spotlight

One of the most important aspects of this deal is the boost it gives to Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSDHidden Road will now use RLUSD as collateral across its services, making it the first stablecoin to allow smooth cross-margining between crypto and traditional markets. This gives RLUSD a strong foothold in real-world financial applications.

As part of the agreement, Hidden Road will shift its post-trade operations to the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This move aims to lower costs and improve efficiency, highlighting XRPL’s value as a preferred option for institutional decentralized finance (DeFi).

Ripple also plans to improve its Ripple Payments platform by reducing costs, increasing liquidity, and offering secure, bank-grade digital asset custody to Hidden Road’s institutional clients.

Hidden Road’s Global Presence Set to Expand

Hidden Road already handles more than $3 trillion in trading volume each year for over 300 major institutions. With Ripple’s support, the firm is now set to grow even more and could soon become one of the largest non-bank prime brokers in the world. This partnership is a key step in connecting traditional finance with the decentralized world.

This is the second billion-dollar crypto deal of 2025, showing strong momentum for the digital asset industry. Under President Trump’s administration, the market is growing more optimistic about relaxed crypto regulations.

Earlier in March, major crypto exchange Kraken announced a $1.5 billion deal to acquire retail futures trading platform NinjaTrader. That move allows Kraken to expand into new asset classes and grow its user base.

Ripple Hints At Collab With Cardano

Adding more buzz, Ripple recently released a video about tokenization that included the Cardano logo. This led to speculation about a possible partnership between the two companies. 

The video focused on the potential of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, which could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033. While the community is excited, neither Ripple nor Cardano has confirmed any collaboration yet.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse commented on the deal, saying the crypto industry is entering a new and promising phase. For the first time, the U.S. market is becoming truly open to digital assets, as the regulatory confusion from earlier leadership begins to clear up. At the same time, the crypto space is maturing and starting to meet the standards of traditional finance.

According to Garlinghousethis moment presents a huge opportunity for growth and mainstream adoption.

BRICS: INDIA TO TURN ON US, JOIN CHINA IN TRADE WAR?

With the arrival of United States President Donald Trump’s Liberation Day economic policy, the world has been subject to an influx of tariffs. Now, despite its increased relationship with the country, BRICS nations may band together, with India potentially joining with China amid a brewing trade war with the US.

A Chinese Embassy spokesperson in India recently called for the nation to stand with its BRICS ally against the US Trump administrationSpecifically, spokesperson Yu Jing called for the nations to join forces to “overcome the difficulties” of the recent tariff plan, according to a Reuters report.

BRICS Nations to Join Forces? China Calls for India to Stand With It in Opposition to Trump Tariffs

In early AprilUS President Donald Trump threw a wrench into global economics. Indeed, he announced the arrival of a baseline 10% tariff on nearly every trading partner that the country hasThe increasingly aggressive economic policy was instituted to facilitate balanced trade for the nation, the administration assures.

However, its presence has forced a host of nations to respond. Among the most concerning answers have been from East Asia, which has vowed to fight the policyNow, it is calling on its BRICS ally in India to stand with China as it is set to engage in a trade war with the US.

Chinese Embassy spokesperson Yu Jin recently said the two sides should come together amid the action“China-India economic and trade relationships are based on complimentary and mutual benefit. Facing the US abuse of tariffs… the two latest developing countries should stand together to overcome difficulties.”

The only problem is that both nations took radically different approaches to their response to the Trump tariffs. Specifically, India has already ruled out reciprocal action. Indeed, it noted that it was seeking to secure a negotiated trade deal with the United States amid the policy.

Alternatively, Chian has not been as diplomatic. According to a recent reportthe country has vowed to “fight to the end” in response to the looming trade warThe US president has threatened an additional 50% tariff on China, with the Eastern Asian power calling it “blackmail.

XRP LAWSUIT NEWS: SEC OPPOSES EMERGENCY REQUEST FOR ‘DECISIVE EVIDENCE’ IN RIPPLE CASE


The long-running legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially come to an end, as confirmed by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse just a few days ago.

While the announcement was met with celebrations among Ripple supporters and the broader crypto community, the XRP price failed to react as positively as expected. This muted response has led to growing anticipation and calls from XRP enthusiasts for an official statement or confirmation from the SEC.

Adding to the intrigue, an unusual filing recently appeared in the SEC vs. Ripple docket. A man named Justin W. Keener submitted an emergency request seeking to “present decisive evidence in favor of the defendants and in favor of liberty for the American people.”

The letter, however, left many questions unanswered. It doesn’t clearly specify what the so-called ‘decisive evidence’ entails or how it would benefit Ripple’s caseKeener hints that the evidence may relate to physical investment contracts he has been collecting, though details remain scarce.

In responsethe SEC has filed an opposition to Keener’s request. According to Fox Business’ Eleanor Terrettthe SEC argues that the motion should be denied for several reasons.

First, they claim the District Court no longer has jurisdiction over the matter since the case has moved to the Second Circuit.

Second, they assert that Keener failed to file the proper motion to intervene in the case. Lastly, the SEC contends that the request is unnecessary because Ripple is fully capable of deciding for itself whether the evidence in question could be helpful.

The SEC is now asking Judge Analisa Torres to dismiss Keener’s request entirely, arguing that it holds no legal standing and that the case has already reached a conclusion.
