This Looks Like A Divorce. And It’s Going To Be A Messy One
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 25, 2025
“I think we are making a mistake,” said the Vice President, in what the media is criticizing as an unclassified text message discussion.
The administration was discussing if, when, and how to strike against the Houthi rebel group in Yemen, which has been menacing commercial ships in the Red Sea since late 2023.
The media is focusing on the fact that someone had inadvertently (or perhaps intentionally) added a reporter from the Atlantic to the chat group. But once again the media has missed the point.

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 25, 2025
“I think we are making a mistake,” said the Vice President, in what the media is criticizing as an unclassified text message discussion.
The administration was discussing if, when, and how to strike against the Houthi rebel group in Yemen, which has been menacing commercial ships in the Red Sea since late 2023.
The media is focusing on the fact that someone had inadvertently (or perhaps intentionally) added a reporter from the Atlantic to the chat group. But once again the media has missed the point.
What matters far more is how JD Vance crystalized the current situation: that just “3 percent of US trade runs through the Suez [Canal, where the Houthis strike]. 40 percent of European trade does...”
In other words, this Houthi situation is far more important to Europe than to the US... so Europe should take the lead, step up, and do something about it rather than wait for America to once again ride to the rescue.
“I just hate bailing Europe out again,” Vance says, with other administration officials in agreement about “European free-loading”.
This is a telling exchange which reflects the mood right now. The Trump team believes that the US unfairly has to shoulder the security burden for Europe. And, frankly, their position is totally valid.
But to play devil’s advocate, the Europeans would say, “Well, that’s the price you pay for the exorbitant privilege of having the world’s reserve currency.”
And that’s not a crazy assertion either. Just ask Liz Truss.
If you don’t remember Ms. Truss, she was British Prime Minister for all of 51 days; back in September 2022, her government announced its ‘mini-budget’ which proposed significant tax cuts combined with government subsidies for household energy expenses.
The result would have been higher budget deficits, which the government intended to finance by borrowing more money.
Unfortunately for Truss, her proposals were poorly received, and investors dumped their British government bonds.
Yields collapsed. The pound went into free-fall. And Ms. Truss-- the Prime Minister of one of the largest and most powerful economies in the world-- had to resign in disgrace… all because the bond market didn’t like her economic plan.
That’s what happens when you DON’T have the global reserve currency.
America, on the other hand, does have this special benefit; every foreign government and central bank on the planet has to own US dollars… which is why the US government gets away with the fiscal equivalent of murder.
America’s government runs multi-trillion-dollar deficits year after year, yet does nothing about it.
They borrowed trillions of dollars to pay people to stay home and NOT go to work. They have constant threats of government shutdowns and debt ceiling crises. They spend more money each year paying interest than they spend on national defense. And the extreme level of waste is simply appalling.
No other country in the world would get away with all of these shenanigans.
So, if we’re intellectually honest, Europe has a point. The rest of the world willingly ignores the US government’s dismal financial condition… and in exchange they expect Uncle Sam to take care of the Houthis.
In a way, both sides are right. Both sides have valid points. Yet each side also believes the other to be completely wrong and irrational. There doesn’t seem to be any room for compromise or mutual understanding.
In divorce court this is known as “irreconcilable differences”. And it’s getting messy.
The US and Europe have spent decades as the world’s ultimate ‘power couple’; they enjoyed a massive trade relationship, an iron-clad military alliance, top secret intelligence-sharing, industrial cooperation… you name it. Europe and the US have been in bed together for quite some time.
But this relationship is clearly fractured, and it’s declining at a rate not seen since World War II.
The US may still be hoping that Europe will eventually come around. And this seems to be the strategy: threaten them with tariffs until Europe’s weak leadership buckles and bends the knee.
But that doesn’t seem to be happening. Europe is finding its legs. And its backbone.
Friedrich Merz, for example, the presumptive German Chancellor, recently scored a major victory by amending his country’s Constitutional requirement to maintain a balanced budget.
He had to sell his soul and betray voters to get it done. But Merz stated (after the election, of course) that he was willing to do “whatever it takes” to Make Europe Great Again and fend off the threat of Russian invasion.
He’s now planning close to $1 trillion in government spending, almost all of it financed by more debt. It will include a massive defense buildup, plus a bonanza of the Green party’s climate initiatives.
For his part, French President Emmanuel Macron has also been planning “a new paradigm”, as he calls it.
In a recent speech, Macron spelled out Europe’s obvious problems. The border has been overrun, and their security is in shambles.
“We have delegated everything that is strategic,” Macron complained. “our energy to Russia. Our security . . . to the United States. And equally critical perspectives [like rare earth minerals] to China.”
Even Europe’s food supplies are being imported from foreign nations, Macron laments. “Who would be foolish enough to outsource their food?”
“We must take them back. This is what strategic autonomy is all about,” he says. Bottom line, Europe is too dependent on foreign nations, including and especially the US.
He goes on to challenge Europe to fight against US “competition” and become a world leader in AI, quantum computing, space, biotechnology, and nuclear energy within five years… and to get there by deregulating and investing heavily in innovation.
Where will they get this investment capital? Well, he mused that “every year, our savings amounting to around 300 billion euros a year go to finance the Americans. . . This is absurd.” Macron believes that money should remain in Europe to fund R&D.
None of this sounds like Europe willing to accede to US demands… nor a Europe that will submit to the “Mar-a-Lago Accords” (which would, among other things, force Europe to hold 100-year US government bonds).
It looks very clearly like Europe is preparing to stand on its own… which, again, looks a lot like a divorce. And potentially quite a messy one. It’s also unfolding very rapidly, right in front of us.
Bottom line, if even Europe thinks it’s “absurd” to buy hundreds of billions of euros each year worth of US government bonds, I can only imagine what China must think.
And this leads me to believe that a new global financial system could be here sooner than anyone realizes.

PS We’ve been predicting for years that a new global financial system will end up displacing the US dollar. And the implications are enormous. Gold, for starters, should continue to do extremely well-- despite the fact that it is at an all-time high. So should gold stocks. Many foreign stock markets (which are significantly undervalued relative to the US) should also perform very well.

Wed. 26 March 2025 How to End the Fed …QFS on Telegram
So much has been written about why we should end the Federal Reserve. With growing public demand for an audit, the call has finally reached the masses. If such an audit happens, it may expose hidden programs like the Bank Term Funding Program and open the door to something bigger. What’s missing, however, is the how. Ending the Federal Reserve must be done carefully—without shocking the system. The goal is simple: unwind its power while minimizing disruption to the money supply.
This can be achieved in five deliberate steps.
First, revoke the Federal Reserve’s authority to manipulate monetary policy. Repeal the Federal Reserve Act and remove its power to control interest rates or print money.
Second, freeze all expiring debt assets on the Fed’s balance sheet—U.S. Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, and loans—and let them expire naturally over time. These assets make up about 99% of the Fed’s holdings.
Third, sell off non-expiring assets, if any, gradually over 1 to 5 years. Their volume is small and unlikely to cause market instability.
Fourth, convert the Fed into a fully private institution, stripped of its special legal privileges. It may continue operating based on its existing market position, but without state-backed power.
Finally, if the Fed can’t sustain itself as a private bank, other institutions can take over its limited remaining functions—like interbank lending—under standard private banking laws. Its collapse would then be irrelevant.
The Fed’s balance sheet currently holds about $6.8 trillion, mostly in U.S. debt. Roughly $4.2 trillion is in Treasuries and $2.2 trillion in mortgage-backed securities—both with set expiration dates. Letting these assets expire passively, instead of selling them, would slowly shrink the Fed’s footprint. The initial decline would be steep—about 10% in the first year—then taper off to about 1.7% annually, averaging 3.1% per year.
Unlike traditional quantitative tightening, this approach doesn’t drain bank reserves. No reserves are destroyed, no liquidity pulled. The Fed would continue earning interest on remaining assets, using that income to pay interest on reserves held by banks, softening the transition. Over time, as the Fed’s income declines, interest payments to banks would shrink. This would push banks to deploy capital more actively into markets, rather than earning passive returns at the Fed.
The shift would spur lending and investment, adding inflationary pressure that could counteract the deflationary impact of ending the Fed’s debt-buying programs. The result: a gradual rebalancing.
If done correctly, the outcome would be monumental. The Fed would lose its privileged authority. Direct manipulation of interest rates would end. Money supply remains stable, as reserves stay intact. No shock to the banking system. No need to redesign payment systems like ACH.
The dollar may appreciate slightly as discipline returns. The government would face pressure to rein in debt, as a stronger dollar increases real debt costs. And markets, no longer warped by artificial intervention, would reward prudence over reckless leverage.
Ending the Fed isn’t just possible—it’s a necessary step toward a freer, more honest economy.

Frank26 The currents of Iraq are only flowing in a direction of a new exchange rate. It's not flowing towards 1310.
Walkingstick Trump actually said we can take Iraq's oil as repayment. You think these 20 years we're not going to get paid back? We got paid back by Kuwait...Therefore the oil flowing in Iraq is not just a statement in Iraq, IMO it is a forced action to start the oil flowing now. This would expose the budget tables. This Iraqi monetary reform, I got a feeling about it and that feeling has a lot to do with the quick actions of Donald Trump that we are witnessing.
Militia Man Regarding the exchange rate article quote "The official exchange rate will become the prevailing and sole one as will the digital exchange rate adopted by monetary policy." He's talking about the official exchange rate. He's not necessarily talking about 1310. He says the official exchange rate 'will become', that sounds to be like it'll be something different and it'll be a sole one on its own

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
PAUL ATKINS SEC CONFIRMATION HEARING BEGINS: IS THIS GOOD NEWS FOR CRYPTO?
▪️Former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins, a Trump nominee, is expected to bring a more crypto-friendly regulatory approach.
▪️Atkins' confirmation faces scrutiny due to his past advisory roles, financial ties to crypto, and potential conflicts of interest.
▪️The crypto industry anticipates Atkins' potential leadership as a shift towards clearer regulations.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
PAUL ATKINS SEC CONFIRMATION HEARING BEGINS: IS THIS GOOD NEWS FOR CRYPTO?
▪️Former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins, a Trump nominee, is expected to bring a more crypto-friendly regulatory approach.
▪️Atkins' confirmation faces scrutiny due to his past advisory roles, financial ties to crypto, and potential conflicts of interest.
▪️The crypto industry anticipates Atkins' potential leadership as a shift towards clearer regulations.
The crypto market finally has a leader at the SEC who supports digital assets. After years of strict regulations, uncertainty, and legal battles, there’s a chance for real change. Paul Atkins, a former SEC commissioner and Trump’s pick for SEC Chair, is expected to take a more crypto-friendly approach – if confirmed. Unlike his predecessor Gary Gensler, who cracked down hard on the industry, Atkins wants to introduce clear and predictable rules. He believes confusing regulations have slowed innovation and pushed businesses overseas.
His confirmation hearing today could set the stage for crypto’s next big chapter.
Senate Hearing Begins Today
Atkins will face the Senate Banking Committee today for his confirmation hearing, where he plans to push for a balanced regulatory framework. He has criticized the SEC’s past policies, arguing that complicated and politically driven rules have hurt businesses and investors. His goal is to create common-sense regulations that encourage growth while ensuring proper oversight.
Industry Support vs. Political Opposition
The crypto industry is optimistic about Atkins’ nomination, seeing it as a chance to move away from the SEC’s aggressive enforcement, which has driven innovation overseas.
But not everyone is on board. Senator Elizabeth Warren and other critics have raised concerns about his regulatory past. Warren has questioned his advisory role with FTX, his ties to major financial firms, and his decisions during the 2008 financial crisis. She recently sent him a 34-page letter demanding answers before his hearing.
Questions over Atkins’ crypto investments
Atkins’ financial records show he holds up to $5 million in a crypto investment fund and $1 million in equity across two crypto firms. His and his wife’s total assets exceed $328 million, mostly from his wife’s family wealth. These investments have raised concerns over potential conflicts of interest, which he is expected to address during the confirmation process.
What Happens Next?
Until Atkins is officially confirmed, Mark Uyeda will serve as interim SEC Chair following Gary Gensler’s resignation. The Senate will decide when to hold the final vote on Atkins. If he is approved, it could mean major changes in how the SEC regulates crypto.
While the crypto market welcomes a shift in policy, some worry that too much freedom could lead to illegal activities and fraud. Trump’s open support for meme coins like TRUMP, which remain unregulated, has added to concerns.
Over the last few months, some of Trump’s policies have backfired, and the crypto market is still recovering, far from its peak of $109K. Whether Atkins’ leadership will bring stability or new challenges remains to be seen.
Atkins might be the SEC’s new face, but in crypto, the real question is always the same – will the rules change the game or just the players?

US SENATE CLEARS RESOLUTION TO KILL IRS’S CONTROVERSIAL DEFI BROKER RULE
A rule to scrap a U.S. Internal Revenue Service rule targeting decentralized finance platforms has cleared the Senate, setting the stage for the president’s expected sign-off.
On March 26, the Senate voted 70-28 in favour of repealing the controversial DeFi broker rule, which sought to expand tax reporting requirements for businesses in the sector.
Earlier this month, the House of Representatives passed the resolution with bipartisan support, with Republican Representative Mike Carey, a vocal critic of the bill, calling it a “massive government overreach” that would compromise the privacy of American nationals and hinder growth in the industry.
Now, the resolution heads to President Donald Trump’s desk for final approval. David Sacks, the White House’s crypto and AI adviser, has previously confirmed the administration’s support, and Trump is expected to sign it into law.
The rules, initially proposed by the IRS and the United States Treasury Department in August and finalised in December 2024, would require DeFi platforms to report user transactions—specifically, gross proceeds from crypto sales—to the IRS, similar to traditional brokers.
This would include collecting and filing personal data of users involved in these transactions, which critics say goes against the nature of decentralisation and puts unnecessary pressure on platforms that often don’t have central operators.
Supporters of the repeal argued that the rule was unworkable in practice and could drive innovation out of the U.S.
The Blockchain Association, a digital asset advocacy group, along with the Texas Blockchain Council, sued the IRS last year.
Marisa Coppel, the association’s Head of Legal, criticized regulators in a joint statement last year, claiming that the IRS and Treasury had “gone beyond their statutory authority in expanding the definition of ‘broker.”
“Not only is this an infringement on the privacy rights of individuals using decentralized technology, it would push this entire, burgeoning technology offshore,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed that Iraq's public finances are resilient to oil price fluctuations.
The Ministry of Finance, for its part, ensured financial stability by disbursing salaries on time, as well as disbursing pensioners' salaries before Eid al-Fitr. In a meeting with the Parliamentary Finance Committee, the Minister of Planning confirmed that the schedules include funding for ongoing projects without adding new ones.
According to information published by "Al-Sabah", the (2025) budget is expected to reach about (200) trillion dinars with an estimated deficit of (64) trillion dinars. For his part, the financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, explained that Iraq is hedging against oil price fluctuations, and that the first quarter of (2025) passed without financial turmoil, while ensuring the stability of salaries and social care, in addition to implementing service projects.
Saleh pointed out that "the price of a barrel of oil in the Federal Budget Law for the three years, issued pursuant to Law No. (13) of (2023), was set at about (70) dollars, which ensures the stability of public revenues despite global economic challenges." link
Tishwash: Employees withdraw 8 trillion dinars from banks in two hours.. The Ministry of Finance seeks a solution.
Crisis of confidence despite the electronic system
Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Moeen Al-Kadhimi, called for stopping the provision of subsidized dollars at an exchange rate of 1,320 dinars for non-essential luxury imports, and instead providing them for the import of necessities such as production lines and agricultural equipment, to reduce the volume of imports later.
He pointed out that many private banks were not established according to the needs of economic sectors and that they profit from transfer operations despite being inactive due to their inability to deal with foreign correspondent banks. He also confirmed that the government deposits about 8 trillion dinars monthly as salaries for employees and retirees, but they are withdrawn within only two hours, calling for the matter to be addressed.
oeen Al-Kadhimi, in an interview with journalist Saadoun Mohsen Damd, followed by 964 Network :
The banking system is linked to the Central Bank, the body responsible for regulating banking operations. Numerous workshops have been held recently to develop the banking system. However, there are external factors that influence banks attempting to link up with foreign banks, which also impact the development process.
From our perspective as a parliamentary committee, we believe the Iraqi banking system is still in its early stages of adapting to global regulations. The Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance are required to support the work of banks so they can fulfill their role beyond limited tasks, such as supporting the agricultural and industrial sectors, and other diverse economic sectors.
Some banks are trying to profit solely from dollar transfers, without contributing to other developmental aspects. One of our most important observations is the increasing number of banks being established without feasibility studies.
This is despite the fact that they are practically at a standstill because most of them have been unable to link up with international banks to conduct financial transfers, thus preventing them from accessing the currency window.
The Central Bank sometimes justifies some of the violations of its instructions by private banks. It must then address the missing relationship between the public and the banks. Some citizens lost their money after certain banks declared bankruptcy, and the Central Bank must also address this issue.
Improving banking performance is key, and we have approached the Central Bank about addressing the issue of depositing funds and the difficulty depositors face in withdrawing them later, while improving interest rates to ensure depositors feel valued. Most importantly, we are increasing automation, moving away from cash transactions.
The internet is no obstacle to the electronic transformation of financial transactions. Banks must improve their digital applications and technologies to benefit from the country's internet services and quality. Employee and retiree salaries, which amount to approximately 8 trillion dinars, are now paid electronically, but they are withdrawn within two hours, immediately emptying all banks. This must be addressed.
The Ministry of Finance's monthly priority is to convert its dollar balances into dinars to boost remittances and foreign imports, which are often for luxury goods, as traders benefit from the exchange rate difference. This must stop, and subsidized dollars must be allocated to essential needs, such as importing production lines, to reduce imports later. link

Tishwash: Iraq Implements Global Transit System TIR from April
Iraq will implement the global transit system TIR from 1 April 2025, marking a significant step in enhancing logistics and international trade.
According to state-run Iraqi News Agency (INA), the Border Ports Commission announced that the system will streamline cross-border transport, strengthening Iraq's position as a key trade hub in the Middle East.
The TIR system is expected to play a crucial role in the Development Road project, linking southern and northern Iraq while providing an efficient trade corridor connecting Asia, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Turkey, and Europe.
Logistics firms are prepared to launch TIR operations from locations such as Mersin, Turkey, to Gulf countries via Umm Qasr Port. Initial trials indicate that the journey could be completed in under a week-compared to 14 days via the Red Sea or 26 days if ships reroute around Africa.
Transport Minister Razzaq Muhibis Al-Saadawi highlighted that TIR implementation, supported by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani and facilitated by the International Road Transport Union (IRU), will reduce transport times by 80% and costs by 38%, offering substantial economic benefits and job creation. Over the past two years, Iraq has developed its transport infrastructure to maximise TIR's impact on trade and the national economy.
IRU Secretary-General Umberto de Pretto welcomed the initiative, stating that TIR has facilitated secure trade for nearly eight decades. He anticipates that Iraq's integration into the system will enhance regional economic connectivity and streamline freight movement. The system's electronic pre-declaration (TIR-EPD) will integrate with Iraq's Uruk platform, enabling cargo monitoring via GPS and enhancing security through regular checkpoints.
TIR, governed by a United Nations convention and managed by IRU, is designed to ensure smooth, cost-effective, and secure international trade.
In 2023, Iraq became the 78th country to accede to the United Nations TIR Convention. link

Worst Crash Since Great Depression will Force Monetary Reset
Commodity Culture: 3-27-2025
In a recent episode of “Commodity Culture” with Jesse Day, market strategist Henrik Zeberg painted a stark, almost paradoxical, picture of the future. While many are bracing for an imminent market downturn, Zeberg believes the bears are premature.
He predicts a significant market rally, culminating in a dramatic blow-off top, before a recession and market crash eviscerates asset values and ultimately necessitates a monetary reset based on sound money, specifically gold.
Worst Crash Since Great Depression will Force Monetary Reset
Commodity Culture: 3-27-2025
In a recent episode of “Commodity Culture” with Jesse Day, market strategist Henrik Zeberg painted a stark, almost paradoxical, picture of the future. While many are bracing for an imminent market downturn, Zeberg believes the bears are premature.
He predicts a significant market rally, culminating in a dramatic blow-off top, before a recession and market crash eviscerates asset values and ultimately necessitates a monetary reset based on sound money, specifically gold.
Zeberg’s forecast hinges on the idea that the current market landscape, despite its apparent fragility, still holds the potential for a final, exuberantly irrational surge.
He argued that underlying market forces are not yet aligned for a sustained bear market. Instead, he envisions a dramatic final rally, driven by factors like lingering liquidity and the herd mentality of investors eager to chase returns. This “blow-off top,” as he describes it, will be the final act of this current market cycle, and its peak will be the precipice of significant economic pain.
Following this artificial high, Zeberg foresees a harsh and unavoidable correction. This won’t be a simple dip; he predicts a profound recession, potentially even a depression, where virtually all asset classes will suffer significant losses. He anticipates a crash that will wipe out substantial wealth and shake the foundations of the global economy.
The silver lining, according to Zeberg, lies in the ashes of this economic devastation. He believes that only when faced with the utter failure of current monetary policies will global powers be forced to consider a radical shift.
In this scenario, he sees a return to sound money principles, most likely anchored by gold. This wouldn’t be a matter of choice, but rather a necessary consequence of the collapse of the existing system.
Zeberg’s vision is a compelling, albeit unsettling, one. He suggests that riding the coming wave requires vigilance and a deep understanding of market cycles. While predicting a significant market rally, he also urges caution, emphasizing that the ultimate goal should be preserving capital and preparing for the inevitable downturn.
In his view, the short-term gains should be viewed as a prelude to a long and challenging period, ultimately leading to a fundamental shift in the global monetary system, a shift that favors the stability and security of gold.
Whether you agree with Zeberg’s specific timeline or not, his conversation with Jesse Day on “Commodity Culture” provides a thought-provoking and timely perspective on the potential trajectory of the markets and the future of money itself.
It underscores the importance of understanding macro trends and preparing for a range of potential outcomes in an increasingly uncertain economic landscape.

▪️Ripple withdrew its cross-appeal against the SEC, signaling the nearing end of their legal battle.
▪️The SEC may seek to lift the injunction that restricts Ripple's direct XRP sales to institutions.
▪️If the injunction is lifted, Ripple could resume institutional XRP sales, but must adhere to securities laws.
Ripple’s long-running legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is nearing its final stage. The company has withdrawn its cross-appeal, leading to speculation that the SEC might ask the court to lift the injunction preventing Ripple from selling XRP directly to institutional investors.
If this happens, could Ripple restart these sales? Experts share their views on what this means for Ripple, the SEC, and the broader crypto market.
Could Ripple vs. SEC End Soon?
After the SEC settled its lawsuit with Coinbase, many in the crypto space wonder if Ripple’s case could also be resolved soon.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed that the company has withdrawn its cross-appeal, signaling that the legal battle is entering its final phase.
The SEC-Ripple Legal Battle: The Background Explained
The SEC’s injunction has significantly restricted Ripple’s business, preventing direct sales of XRP to institutional investors.
The legal fight began in 2020 when the SEC accused Ripple of selling XRP without proper authorization. Last year, Judge Analisa Torres of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled that Ripple’s institutional sales were an unregistered securities offering. However, she clarified that XRP sales on public exchanges did not fall into the same category.
The SEC has not yet confirmed whether it will request the court to lift the injunction.
Experts Weigh In: Will Ripple Resume Institutional Sales?
Legal expert Fred Rispoli believes that if the court removes the injunction at the SEC’s request, Ripple could restart institutional sales. However, he emphasizes that the company must comply with securities laws.
He says: “Ripple’s institutional XRP sales still must conform to securities law but can now sell to say, hedge funds or private equity firms directly instead of to OTC desks first.”
XRP Community Reacts
While some XRP supporters see Ripple’s decision as a positive step, others remain uncertain about how it will affect XRP’s future.
Currently, XRP is trading at $2.47, reflecting a 6.6% increase over the past week and a 280.2% surge in the past year. At the start of this month, XRP was priced at $2.14602, meaning it has risen nearly 14.98% since then. However, it is still 18.73% below this month’s peak.
Ripple’s withdrawal of its cross-appeal is a key moment in its legal fight with the SEC. If the injunction is lifted, the company could resume institutional sales, but it must still comply with securities laws.
The XRP community remains divided – some are optimistic about XRP’s growth, while others remain cautious due to regulatory uncertainty. Ripple’s next moves and the SEC’s decision will play a crucial role in shaping XRP’s future.
Whatever happens, you can’t deny, this whole Ripple saga? It’s been a wild ride for everyone watching.

WYOMING GOVERNOR SAYS STATE’S LONG-PLANNED STABLECOIN COULD LAUNCH BY JULY
Wyoming's planned stablecoin—first proposed in 2022—will work across Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and multiple ETH scaling networks.
The state of Wyoming is gearing up to launch its long-planned stablecoin in the coming months, Governor Mark Gordon said at the DC Blockchain Summit on Wednesday, with the state eyeing a potential July debut following a period of testing.
The stablecoin, which was first proposed via a state bill in February 2022, will be powered by LayerZero and be usable across multiple chains, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and the Ethereum scaling networks Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism.
“We are thrilled to share Wyoming's vision for state leadership in the nation's capital,” Governor Gordon said in a press release issued following his DC Blockchain Summit interview. “Our forward-thinking approach to blockchain and digital asset legislation has positioned Wyoming as a model for not only other states, but the federal government as well.”
The token, WYST, which is now in testing phase across seven blockchain testnets, is poised to benefit both the state and its users, according to the Governor. He said that it will require an over-collaterization of the cash and U.S. Treasuries that back the token to reduce the risk of de-pegging, or shifting from the 1:1 ratio the token is supposed to hold with the U.S. Dollar.
Additionally, interest from the treasuries that back the token will be deposited into the state’s school foundation fund, according to a press release from the Governor.
Though the idea of its state stablecoin first surfaced in 2022, Wyoming’s progress accelerated in March 2023 with the passing of the Wyoming Stable Token Act, which led to the creation of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission—the group ultimately tasked with issuing a stablecoin that “aligns with state laws and fiscal responsibility.”
The Commission, which is leading the launch of WYST, is currently still engaging with vendors as it relates to the “development, deployment, and management of WYST.”
“The next phase of testing and customizing smart contracts is an imperative step towards delivering the best product for Wyoming and stable token holders,” said Commission Executive Director Anthony Apollo. “Once launched, WYST will grant holders the ability to transmit dollar-denominated transactions of any value, anywhere in the world, nearly instantly, with significantly reduced fees compared to traditional ACH or wires.”
The testing process is expected to occur throughout Q2 2025, leading up to the potential July launch.
Stablecoins remain at the center of crypto headlines in recent days and weeks, highlighted by the GENUIS Act, a bipartisan bill to create a regulatory framework for the tokens and their issuers.
On Tuesday, Wyoming-based Custodia Bank said it created the first bank-issued stablecoin on Ethereum. Wyoming’s launch of WYST would be the “first fiat-backed and fully-reserved stable token issued by a public entity in the United States,” according to the release.

Clare: Iraq has the fourth largest oil reserves in the world.
3/26/2025 - Baghdad
State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) highlighted the importance of Iraqi oil and its vital role in global markets on Wednesday, noting that Iraq possesses the fourth-largest proven oil reserves in the world, at approximately 145 billion barrels.
The company said: “The promotion and sale of Iraqi crude oil is taking place in the three main markets (the Asian market, the European market, and the American market), in addition to the African market, by participating in international forums and conferences and holding meetings with major international companies directly or through the official website for online participation, in addition to inviting and providing the opportunity for major international companies, under announced conditions and within the established contexts, to participate in spot cargo auctions (Spot Cargo), which has worked to attract many international companies to be permanent customers for purchasing Iraqi crude oil, while emphasizing that the marketing strategy followed is to focus on markets that offer the highest returns and the best stability of demand, with flexibility in directing shipments according to global price changes to the rest of the markets to export the full available quantities of Iraqi crude oil.”
Regarding the advantages of Iraqi oil, SOMO confirmed that “global crude oils are classified and their quality is determined based on their API (specific gravity) and sulfur content. Iraqi crude oil produced on this basis is classified into (medium and heavy crude oil) based on its specific gravity. It has a high sulfur content for both types, according to the sulfur content standard. It is considered a crude oil with specifications (required globally), and is compatible with the operational plans of refineries that wish to produce specific products according to their needs.”
She explained that "among the advantages that help attract buyers are the significant and growing demand for medium and heavy crude oils, stable production, and the availability of large, stable quantities that ensure long-term supply contracts for these refineries. The geographic location and low shipping costs make Iraqi oil a favorite in the Asian market, in addition to the fair, competitive price based on market fundamentals."
She pointed out that "an increase in the API (specific gravity) means the possibility of producing larger quantities of light products with a higher price value compared to heavy products, while the higher the sulfur content in crude oil, the less desirable it is to buyers because it requires higher costs to refine it."
The company continued, "Iraq ranks fifth globally in oil production, with an output of approximately 4.27 million barrels per day, making it the second-largest producer in OPEC after Saudi Arabia. Iraq also has the fourth-largest proven oil reserves in the world, at approximately 145 billion barrels."
She pointed out that "this ranking reflects Iraq's vital role in global oil markets, as it contributes significantly to meeting global energy demand. Marketing-wise, Iraqi crude oil is considered an important oil with a good market reputation, as it is relied upon by many international refineries in their refining operations and is in relatively high demand."
She added, "Iraqi crude oil is in global demand for refineries in several countries, as Iraqi crude oil is exported exclusively to companies that own refineries, but most of the companies to which Iraqi crude oil is exported are Asian companies, the most important of which are China and India, at a rate of approximately 70%, and approximately 30% for the other two markets, European and American combined."
She explained that "the Oil Marketing Company adopts a clear strategy in accordance with the best marketing principles adopted globally through the principle of transparency and clarity in dealing with international companies specialized in the field of oil. It also adopts medium and long-term contracts to ensure the marketing of crude oil with the best return, achieving the interest of the country, which depends on more than (90%) of its budget financing on the revenues achieved by the Oil Marketing Company."
She stated that "the Oil Marketing Company also adopts the export of products such as naphtha, fuel oil, jet fuel, sulfur and any other surplus products beyond local needs, while the imports of these products vary according to the quantities and types available for export. The production costs borne by companies investing in Iraqi oil fields can indirectly affect the global prices of Iraqi oil, as the price of Iraqi crude oil depends on market factors such as supply and demand. Production costs affect Iraq's profit margins and its investments in oil, but global prices are determined more by supply and demand factors, competition, OPEC+ policies in some cases, and others. If costs rise significantly and affect Iraq's production capacity, it may lead to higher oil prices due to a shortage in supply."
Regarding the difference in selling prices for Iraqi oil compared to Brent crude prices, the company said: “Iraqi crude oil is sold at a higher or lower price than Brent crude, due to differences in quality, specifications, shipping costs, infrastructure challenges, and competitive pricing policy. However, it varies according to global market conditions, as Brent crude oil is the benchmark used in the European market. There are also other oils that differ from Brent crude oil, such as Dubai + Oman crude oil for the Asian market and the ASCI sour crude oil index in the US market.”
She added, "OPEC and OPEC+ policies determine production levels, which are reflected in global prices, impacting the buying and selling of Iraqi crude oil. The greater the production restrictions, the higher the prices, but the lower the quantities sold, and vice versa. These policies also impact its market share and financial returns." LINK

Militia Man We haven't heard anything about the oil running...It hasn't started through the Cyan Port. Salaries haven't been completely 100% sorted, the '23, '24 budget schedules haven't been exposed and they haven't gone to the parliament yet. But now parliament is pushing for that to happen. What are they waiting for? They're waiting for an exchange rate...
Frank26 Article: “Blessed by Tehran, a ‘framework’ agreement to protect American interests and prohibit unilateral military support for Palestine.” Article quote: “The main forces within the Coordination Framework…reached an agreement to remove the Popular Mobilization Forces from the political file, in addition to merging all factions within the Popular Mobilization Forces Authority. The agreement stipulates that all Popular Mobilization Forces…are subject to the orders of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces only, and that no party may act outside the framework of official military orders under any name or reason…noting that Tehran, which is the supporter of the axis of resistance, has supported this” Is this for real? Because if this if for real…we now have security and stability!

BLACKROCK AND FIDELITY POISED TO ENTER XRP ETF RACE AFTER RIPPLE’S LEGAL WIN
Nate Geraci, a leading ETF analyst, forecasts that BlackRock and Fidelity will soon join the XRP ETF race, with approval expected to happen soon. His optimism stems from the resolution of Ripple’s legal battle with the U.S. SEC.
Ripple’s Win Clears Path for XRP ETF
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
BLACKROCK AND FIDELITY POISED TO ENTER XRP ETF RACE AFTER RIPPLE’S LEGAL WIN
Nate Geraci, a leading ETF analyst, forecasts that BlackRock and Fidelity will soon join the XRP ETF race, with approval expected to happen soon. His optimism stems from the resolution of Ripple’s legal battle with the U.S. SEC.
Ripple’s Win Clears Path for XRP ETF
Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s top lawyer, revealed that the company successfully reduced its fine from $125 million to just $50 million, down from the SEC’s initial $2 billion demand. Additionally, the injunction against Ripple is expected to be lifted at the SEC’s request.
After four grueling years, experts say the way is now clear for an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the U.S. In a latest X post, Geraci noted “Seems obvious spot XRP ETF approval simply matter of time IMO. And yes, I expect BlackRock, Fidelity, etc to all be involved.”
He also highlighted that XRP is currently the third-largest non-stablecoin cryptocurrency by market cap, making it a significant player in the market. And given its size and growing interest, the largest ETF issuers, such as BlackRock and Fidelity, are unlikely to overlook the potential of launching an XRP ETF.
While the SEC has been cautious about approving altcoin ETFs, Geraci believes the agency will eventually approve them. He also highlighted the ongoing debate about whether broad crypto index ETFs or single-asset ETFs will lead the market. Despite expecting the SEC to set limits on approvals, Geraci remains optimistic about the growth of these financial products.
BlackRock To Partner With Ripple?
In a recent Bloomberg interview, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse was asked about collaborating with BlackRock to launch an XRP ETF in the U.S. While Garlinghouse didn’t confirm the partnership, he sparked speculation by stating, “We think it makes sense for the XRP community overall”.
Many believe that once Ripple’s regulatory issues are resolved, asset managers will quickly move to launch an XRP ETF later in the year. Further Ripple CEO is also confident that XRP will join the U.S. Digital Asset stockpile.
Increasing Odds of XRP ETF Approval
Meanwhile, Polymarket, a decentralized prediction platform, shows an 84% chance of XRP ETF approval in 2025. With industry experts closely monitoring XRP’s price, many anticipate a potential breakout to $3 soon, signaling a promising future for the token.

BRICS & US RACE FOR DIGITAL FINANCE SUPREMACY: WHO’S WINNING?
The last year has seen the emergence of the cryptocurrency market as a viable financial sector. Indeed, its arrival has spurred a host of nations to adopt the asset class in a bid to not get left behind. Moreover, it has only increased the conflict between the BRICS and the US as they race for digital finance supremacy. But the question is, who is winning?
US President Donald Trump has already stated his desire for the United States to be the crypto capital of the world. However, the BRICS alliance has already sought out the implementation of blockchain-based applications to help them curtail overreliance on Western systems. Amid a brewing trade war, these two sides are set to face off further in a budding crypto race.
BRICS and US Embrace Digital Finance: But Which Side is Coming Out Ahead?
Since the start of the year, the West and Global South have seen tensions escalate. With Donald Trump returning to the White House, he has targeted that region. Specifically, he has warned of impending 150% tariffs for those who are engaged in de-dollarization efforts.
Yet, the US dollar is not the only battlefield on which these two sides are fighting. Both BRICS and the US are engaged in an ongoing conflict for digital finance supremacy. However, the biggest question now is, just who is winning?
The BRIC bloc has long sought to embrace the blockchain revolution. It had created its very own blockchain-based payment system to counter the Western Swift. Moreover, they have introduced a gold-backed stablecoin that could revolutionize how it transacts with digital assets.
However, the United States is not far behind BRICS. The country has sought to overhaul its crypto policy since Trump returned to the Oval Office. This comes with the president’s plea to pass stablecoin legislation. These efforts all align with the belief that the nation could soon head the entire industry in the coming years.
Which Side Is Winning in 2025?
So, just who is winning at this moment? The question doesn’t have a clear-cut answer but can be explained nonetheless. BRICS is further in development at this stage; China is embracing the digital yuan, and India, Russia, and Brazil all have major digital currency initiatives in place.
However, the United States may have more potential due to the overarching business interest that the asset class has garnered in the nation.
Moreover, the arrival of the UAE’s new $1.4 trillion investment framework into the Western giant will only fasttract its digital finance development. Regardless of where they stand now, the coming months will be massive in determining if BRICS or the US is edging ahead.

Trump vs. BRICS, the Battle for Global Currency Supremacy
Trump vs. BRICS, the Battle for Global Currency Supremacy
Geopolitical Analyst: 3-26-2025
The global financial landscape is undergoing a significant shift, and at the heart of this transformation lies a power struggle for the future of global currency supremacy.
For decades, the US dollar has reigned supreme, serving as the cornerstone of international trade, investment, and holding the coveted title of the world’s primary reserve currency.
However, the rise of new economic powerhouses, particularly the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), and the expansion of the BRICS+ coalition, are challenging the dollar’s long-held dominance.
Trump vs. BRICS, the Battle for Global Currency Supremacy
Geopolitical Analyst: 3-26-2025
The global financial landscape is undergoing a significant shift, and at the heart of this transformation lies a power struggle for the future of global currency supremacy.
For decades, the US dollar has reigned supreme, serving as the cornerstone of international trade, investment, and holding the coveted title of the world’s primary reserve currency.
However, the rise of new economic powerhouses, particularly the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), and the expansion of the BRICS+ coalition, are challenging the dollar’s long-held dominance.
The emergence of these powerful economies, spearheaded by China and Russia, has ignited a strategic rivalry with the United States, each side vying for control over the future global currency system.
Fueling this competition is the legacy of former President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy, which sought to solidify the US dollar’s position. Meanwhile, the BRICS+ nations are actively exploring alternatives to de-dollarize and diminish the US currency’s influence.
But what do these competing forces mean for the global economy, and is the US dollar truly in danger of losing its coveted position as the world’s reserve currency?
The US dollar’s dominance in the global financial system spans nearly a century. After World War II, the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944 established the US dollar as the central currency for international trade and finance. This landmark agreement, which pegged other currencies to the US dollar, solidified its position as the world’s reserve currency.
Even the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the early 1970s couldn’t dethrone the dollar, which continued to reign supreme in global finance.
Several factors have contributed to the dollar’s unparalleled strength. Foremost among them is the sheer size and resilience of the US economy. As the world’s largest economy, the United States boasts a financial system that is deep, liquid, and trusted by investors worldwide. This inherent stability attracts capital and reinforces the dollar’s attractiveness.
Furthermore, the dollar has become the default currency for key global markets, most notably the oil market. The “petrodollar” system, which mandates that oil transactions be conducted in dollars, has been instrumental in cementing the dollar’s central role in global trade and demand.
Beyond economic factors, the dollar has also benefitted from its status as the preferred reserve currency for central banks worldwide. The United States’ considerable political and military influence further reinforces the dollar’s dominance. Countries looking to engage in trade with the US or maintain access to its vast markets are incentivized to hold dollar reserves, effectively reinforcing the dollar’s global position.

Ariel: The Gold Standard:
A Return to Real Wealth America re-adopting the gold standard means every dollar is backed by tangible gold, not just government promises.
Historically, the U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1971 under Nixon, leading to decades of inflation $1 in 1971 is worth about $7.50 today.
Now, with gold backing the dollar, your money holds real value. Imagine walking into a store knowing the $100 in your pocket won’t lose purchasing power overnight.
For families, this means savings grow, not shrink. Businesses can plan long-term without fearing currency devaluation.
Globally, the dollar regains trust nations like China and Russia, who’ve hoarded gold (China with 2,200 tons, Russia with 2,300 tons as of 2024), will trade with the U.S. on equal footing, stabilizing markets and reducing economic warfare.

The Next 2008 Is HAPPENING NOW… and Nobody’s Ready for It
Taylor Kenny: 3-25-2025
The next 2008 is already unfolding—only this time, it’s not the banks at risk… it’s your savings. Retail bankruptcies are exploding, but that’s just the beginning.
Behind the scenes, private equity is using a dangerous debt strategy that could wipe out 401(k)s, pensions, and retirement accounts across the country.
