Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

NEW HAMPSHIRE HOUSE PASSES STATE BITCOIN RESERVE BILL

The “Live Free or Die” state is one step closer to embracing Bitcoin after the House of Representatives passed a reserve bill.

A bill proposing the creation of a state Bitcoin reserve was passed by the New Hampshire House of Representatives on Thursday.

The House’s vote on New Hampshire Bill HB302, which if passed would allow the state’s treasury to invest in precious metals and digital assets, held a difference of just 13 votes, with 192 representatives voting for the bill and 179 voting against.

The bill will now move on to the New Hampshire Senate.

“We’re tied to the U.S. dollar, whether we like it or not, but this would allow us to have the state invest a small portion into this uncorrelated, new asset class,” New Hampshire Representative and bill proposer Keith Ammon previously told Decrypt.

Proposed in January, the bill would allow the state’s treasury to allocate up to 5% of the state’s public funds to eligible assets, based on text from the House’s amended bill. The initial proposal suggested an allocation of up to 10% of the state’s public funds.

Those funds can be used on precious metals like silver or gold, or…"any digital assets with a market capitalization of over $500 billion averaged over the previous calendar year.” Only Bitcoin meets that requirement, as of this writing.

New Hampshire’s treasury carried around $3.6 billion in funds as of its most recent annual report, meaning the state could buy up to approximately $181 million worth of precious metals or Bitcoin.

If spent only on crypto’s top asset, at today’s price of $79,755, that would give the Granite State a reserve of around 2,269 BTC. Bitcoin is down about 3.5% on the day, per data from CoinGecko.

The bill indicates that digital assets held by the state must be held by a qualified custodian, by the treasurer with a secure custody solution, or via an exchange traded product from a registered investment company.

New Hampshire is one of many states considering Bitcoin reserve bills, some of which have thus far failed to push them through their respective Houses—like in Pennsylvania and Wyoming.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for the United States on March 6.

NORTH CAROLINA LAWMAKER INTRODUCES DIGITAL ASSET FREEDOM ACT

North Carolina joins the growing list of US states attempting to pass comprehensive digital asset bills as a hedge against inflation.

North Carolina (NC) representative Neal Jackson introduced the North Carolina Digital Asset Freedom Act on April 10. The bill proposes that qualifying "digital assets" be accepted as a legally recognized form of payment and for taxes.

Although the language of the bill does not specifically mention Bitcoin, there are several provisions laid out that make BTC uniquely qualified under the bill's definition of a "digital asset."

These stipulations include a minimum market capitalization of $750 billion and a daily trading volume of over $10 billion, a market history of 10 years or more, proven censorship resistance, proof-of-work consensus, lack of a central authority, 99.98% or more network uptime, and a maximum supply cap. The bill read:

"The General Assembly further finds that decentralized digital assets, which are not governed by any central entity or foundation, align with the economic principles of limited, noninflationary money and are capable of ensuring the security and integrity of transactions."

Jackson's bill is merely the latest in state-led Bitcoin strategic reserve legislation in the United States amid inflation concerns, high US federal debt and a depreciating currency.

North Carolina takes a firm stance against CBDCs

Former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper vetoed a bill banning a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in July 2024. At the time, Cooper characterized the bill as "premature, vague, and reactionary" to threats that have not yet materialized.

In August 2024, the North Carolina House of Representatives overrode Cooper's veto in a definitive and bipartisan 73-41 vote.

The North Carolina Senate followed suit by overriding Cooper's veto in a 27-17 vote and passed the anti-CBDC legislation into law in September 2024.

Dan Spuller, the head of industry affairs at crypto advocacy organization the Blockchain Association, applauded the action taken by NC lawmakers to push back against the tide of CBDCs.

"This bill should have never been vetoed, and Governor Cooper blew an opportunity to send a strong message to the Federal Reserve that NC stands united against CBDCs," Spuller wrote in a Sept. 9 X post.

BRICS: US DOLLAR IS NOW AN UNRELIABLE CURRENCY, SAY ANALYSTS

BRICS is doing everything to puncture the prospects of the US dollar as the White House is accused of weaponizing the currency. The bloc kick-started the de-dollarization agenda and is now convincing emerging economies to trade in local currencies. The alliance has been successful as many developing countries signed trade deals settling cross-border transactions in native currencies.

If the White House fails to import the dollar, the U.S. could enter a new era of hyperinflation. The US dollar needs to maintain its dominant position in the currency markets to make other countries absorb its deficit.

BRICS: The US Dollar Losing Its Reliability, Say BMO Analysts

Commodity analysts at BMO Capital Markets wrote that the US dollar is losing its sheen and BRICS is leveraging the development. The notion to push local currencies ahead for trade and transactions is easier now than ever before. “The US dollar is no longer seen as a reliable reserve asset,” wrote the analysts. 

The note added, “Looking at the broader picture, the combination of deficit spending, tariffs, and pressures on smaller nations has fueled market uncertainty. Increased uncertainty typically leads to lower interest rates for Treasuries but also causes turbulence in equity markets,” he said.

The recent stock market crash is also a cause of worry as investors lose trust in the trade sector. The note added that BRICS could also put gold forward and diversify their reserves more without the US dollar.

“Recently, we’ve seen heightened volatility and a meaningful decline in equities from their highs earlier this year. This underscores a fundamental question: What can people truly trust? The answer remains a physical metal, gold, which has preserved its value for thousands of years and has never been debased, unlike every currency in history.”

Debt Crisis, Fed Meltdown Accelerates as Gold Confirms Crisis

Debt Crisis, Fed Meltdown Accelerates as Gold Confirms Crisis

Taylor Kenny:  4-9-2025

While the news cycle whirls with political dramas and fleeting headlines, a more profound, and potentially alarming, story is unfolding in the financial markets: the soaring price of gold.

This isn’t just a typical commodity price fluctuation; some experts argue that gold’s rise serves as a stark warning sign of a deeper, more systemic problem brewing beneath the surface – a crippling debt crisis threatening to destabilize the U.S. economy.

The core issue, as highlighted by financial analysts like Taylor Kenney on ITM Trading, is the staggering $36 trillion U.S. national debt. This monumental figure, largely ignored in main stream media, is rapidly spiraling out of control.

Even seasoned financial veterans are admitting that we’re navigating uncharted waters, with traditional economic models struggling to offer clear solutions or predict the long-term consequences.

Historically, gold has served as a safe-haven asset, a store of value sought after during times of economic uncertainty and currency devaluation. When investors lose faith in traditional assets like stocks and bonds, particularly those backed by debt-ridden governments, they often flock to gold, driving up its price.

The current gold rally suggests growing anxiety about the stability of the dollar and the ability of the U.S. government to manage its burgeoning debt.

Adding fuel to the fire is the increasing trend of central banks around the world diversifying their reserves, moving away from the U.S. dollar and towards other assets, including gold.

 This de-dollarization trend, if sustained, could further weaken the dollar’s global dominance and exacerbate the existing debt crisis. Central banks, typically conservative and meticulous in their investment strategies, aren’t known for making rash decisions.

Their shift towards gold suggests a pragmatic assessment of the increasingly precarious global economic landscape.

Ignoring the warning signs flashing in the gold market could be a costly mistake. While the future is uncertain, understanding the underlying issues and taking proactive steps to protect your wealth is crucial for navigating these turbulent economic times.

The soaring price of gold isn’t just a number; it’s a call to action. It’s a reminder that prudence and informed decision-making are paramount in safeguarding your financial future in an increasingly volatile world.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

PRESIDENT TRUMP USHERING IN CRYPTO ‘GOLDEN AGE,’ WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL SAYS

The return of US President Donald Trump has come with some concern, but according to one White House official, his administration is set to usher in a new crypto ‘golden age.’ Indeed, Trump’s executive director of digital assets, Bo Hines, recently discussed the impact that his presence will have on cryptocurrency development in the country.

In a post to X (formerly Twitter), Hines called Trump the “true crypto President.” He noted that his stance on the emerging asset class will propel growth. Moreover, he said this effort will help crypto companies that “were victims of a weaponized justice system under the Biden regulatory regime.”

White House Official Says Trump Administration Will Bring New Golden Age for Crypto in US

It has certainly been a volatile start to US President Donald Trump’s second term thus far. Just three months into the year, the returning administration has sought to balance trade with the presence of new Liberation Day tariffs. Subsequently, the move greatly affected the US stock market, with a monumental crash and recession fears abounding the economic outlook.

However, the administration is still hopeful that the short-term struggle will benefit the country in the long term. Moreover, it is optimistic about one key industry that could surge over the next four years. Indeed, US President Trump is poised to usher in a crypto ‘golden age,’ according to White House official Bo Hines.

Speaking to Fox News, the top cryptocurrency policy official for the administration discussed the industry’s potential. “The president has made this a priority, and it is a testament to his leadership and his knowledge of the space,” Hines said.

“Unlike any president before him, he has truly embraced this technological development in a way that no one else has, which has allowed us to do what we need to do to make the United States the crypto capital of the world,” he added.

Hines also notes that the administration is “clearing the deck” of Biden-era policies. Indeed, the previous president had a well-established opposition to the industry. Yet, things have already changed drastically in the early months of Trump’s return. Things should continue, with Standard Chartered saying Bitcoin has $500,000 upside under Trump.

ELIZABETH WARREN ACCUSES TRUMP OF MARKET MANIPULATION OVER TARIFF CHAOS

Senator Warren accuses Trump of market manipulation through erratic tariff decisions, alleging insider profit.

Trump's unpredictable tariffs, including a sudden hike on Chinese goods and a temporary pause, are causing market instability and economic uncertainty.

Congress is facing pressure to investigate Warren's claims and address the economic impact of Trump's tariff policies.

President Donald Trump’s 90-day tariff pause gave crypto markets a brief moment to breathe—but the calm didn’t last long. Behind the scenes, political tensions are heating up fast. U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren is now going after Trump with serious accusations, claiming his unpredictable tariff moves may have been more than just bad policy. She says they might have been a calculated play to benefit his wealthy allies.

Could these sudden shifts in trade policy be more than meets the eye? The story gets deeper—and more explosive—the further you look.

Is Trump Playing the Market?

Warren is urging an independent investigation to find out whether Trump’s sudden tariff changes were meant to benefit his wealthy Wall Street allies. She argues that his actions go beyond bad economic planning and could point to deeper issues. Calling the pattern “corruption,” Warren claims that insiders close to Trump may have made profits by taking advantage of market chaos.

One of Warren’s main concerns is the sharp increase in tariffs on Chinese goods—from 105% to 125%—which caught markets off guard. Around the same time, Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for other countries. This brief relief calmed the markets temporarily, but Warren believes the timing may have been deliberate—giving insiders a chance to “buy the dip” before prices bounced back.

Economic Warning Signs Are Flashing

Warren didn’t stop there. She blamed Trump’s constant changes in trade policy for hurting the U.S. economy, saying the “flip-flopping” has shaken investor confidence. With factory output slowing and job openings (JOLTS data) showing weakness, fears of a possible recession and rising inflation are growing.

From the Senate floor, Warren called on Congress—especially Republicans—to take action and put an end to what she calls “Trump’s tariff chaos.” She warned that this unpredictable approach to trade could cause even more damage to the economy if left unchecked.

More Lawmakers Join In

Representative Steven Horsford also criticized Trump’s sudden tariff reversal, saying it might be an example of market manipulation. He questioned who benefited from the move, hinting that billionaires may have taken advantage of the situation. His comments reflect growing concern in Congress that Trump’s trade policies are helping a select few while creating volatility.

Other lawmakers have also raised red flags, worried that Trump’s unpredictable trade strategy could harm the U.S. economy in the long run.

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton also voiced his disapproval. He said Trump’s tariff approach is flawed, and instead of working with allies to hold China accountable for intellectual property theft, Trump has picked fights with major trading partners.

As political and economic tensions rise, attention is now on Congress. Will lawmakers launch a formal investigation into Warren’s claims of market manipulation? For now, the pressure is building—and the markets are watching closely.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 10 April 2025

Compiled Thurs. 10 April 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

What We Think We Know as of Thurs. 10 April 2025:

Wed. 9 April 2025: The U.S. Debt Clock just crossed the line — and something unprecedented has happened. Income tax? Gone. Corporate tax? Gone. Federal Reserve remittances? Zeroed out. …QFS on Telegram

This isn’t a glitch. This isn’t a coding error. This is a deliberate signal, embedded within one of the most iconic public financial dashboards in America. While headlines focus on distractions, a quiet transformation is already in motion — a dismantling of the old system right before our eyes.

These missing figures are not simply redacted values. They are symbols — markers of a seismic shift. The disappearance of key fiscal indicators on the Debt Clock reveals the unraveling of a debt-fueled illusion that has propped up the global economy for decades.

We are not witnessing a standard downturn. This is a controlled demolition of the fiat system, designed not to collapse everything into chaos, but to usher in a replacement — one that’s already being assembled in the shadows.

For years, the U.S. government has operated on borrowed time, printing money with no intention of balancing the books. National debt has surpassed $34 trillion, and interest payments alone now rival military spending. But instead of warning signs, we are shown silence — or worse, erased data. The message is subtle, but unmistakable: the numbers no longer matter, because the system they represented is being retired. Behind the curtain, a new architecture is emerging, engineered by central banks, global technocrats, and digital overlords — all under the guise of modernization.

And what replaces the old? Look closely. A shift is underway — away from income tax and corporate levies, toward a model powered by tariffs and controlled trade. President Trump’s vision for economic sovereignty aligns with this: eliminate punitive taxes on citizens and domestic producers, and place the fiscal burden on foreign imports.

This isn’t just policy — it’s strategy. A return to national strength through fair trade, resource control, and internal production. But don’t be deceived. As this vision gains ground, those in power are adapting — not resisting. They are preparing their version of the “reset” — a digital prison cloaked in convenience.

Hard assets are being hoarded. Gold, silver, farmland, minerals, and energy infrastructure are vanishing into private hands. At the same time, tokenized currencies and programmable money are being tested by institutions. The plan? Replace the collapsing dollar with digital credits, “backed” by elite-owned resources. You won’t hold the gold. You won’t own the land. You’ll receive conditional access — credits that expire, tracked and limited by behavior. Freedom will become a privilege. Privacy a memory.

This was never about errors or incompetence. It was always about control. The global financial order was designed to centralize wealth, suppress independence, and manufacture dependence. Now, with the illusion nearing its end, a new phase begins — one masked in progress, but built on subjugation. The question is no longer whether the reset is real. It’s whether you’re prepared to meet it on your feet or fall into it asleep.

Stay alert. Stay sovereign. The clock isn’t broken. It’s speaking.

Stock Volatility Will Lead To Derivative Meltdown | Bill Holter

Liberty and Finance:  4-9-2025

Bill Holter discusses the current financial volatility, emphasizing the growing risks of a systemic collapse. He warns that the global financial system is vulnerable, particularly with the massive volume of derivatives—over $2 quadrillion—which far exceeds the size of the financial system itself.

Holter predicts that if a major derivatives player defaults (such as a systemically important bank or brokerage house), it could trigger a cascade of failures, ultimately leading to a "derivative meltdown."

 This could wipe out assets, and Holter suggests that the best way to safeguard wealth is by owning physical gold or silver, as they cannot be bankrupt.

He highlights that these metals, especially in physical form, will retain value when the broader financial system fails, offering a secure store of wealth in uncertain times.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

JUST IN: SENATE CONFIRMS PAUL ATKINS AS SEC CHAIR, NEW ERA FOR CRYPTO?

In a 52-44 vote, the U.S. Senate has confirmed Paul Atkins as the next Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The confirmation now heads to the White House, where President Donald Trump is expected to formally sign off on the appointment. Once that process is complete, Atkins will be officially sworn in. According Fox Business’ Eleanor Terrett, the timing for these next steps remains unclear.

Who Is Paul Atkins?

Paul Atkins is a seasoned financial regulator and former SEC commissioner who served under President George W. Bush. Known for his market-oriented approach, Atkins is respected across party lines and has also held senior roles under Democratic leadership, including under former SEC Chair Arthur Levitt. His nomination hints at a significant shift in regulatory direction under the Trump administration.

Atkins will replace outgoing Chair Gary Gensler, whose tenure was marked by a high-profile and often controversial crackdown on the crypto industry. Gensler faced both praise and criticism for an aggressive enforcement-first approach, especially in applying securities laws to digital assets.

A Turning Point for Crypto Policy?

Under the Biden administration, critics argued that the SEC’s enforcement-heavy stance stifled innovation and failed to offer a clear regulatory path forward. With Atkins at the helm, expectations are high that the SEC may pivot toward a more constructive, guidance-driven regulatory environment.

While details about Atkins’ policy plans remain to be seen, early signals suggest a shift toward fostering innovation while still enforcing accountability. Many in the industry are hopeful that the incoming SEC leadership will work toward creating a consistent, federally backed framework that balances growth and oversight.

TREASURY EYES REGULATORY RESET TO IGNITE BLOCKCHAIN AND PAYMENTS

Regulatory roadblocks are crumbling as the U.S. Treasury signals a sweeping pivot toward blockchain, stablecoins, and digital assets, igniting America’s fintech dominance worldwide.

Regulatory Barriers on the Brink as Treasury Sparks Blockchain Shift

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent laid out a broad financial reform agenda at the Bankers Association Summit on April 9, pledging to remove regulatory barriers that he said have slowed innovation in blockchain, stablecoins, and modern payment technologies. His address emphasized aligning financial oversight with national interests while refocusing on economic growth. Bessent stated:

We will take a close look at regulatory impediments to blockchain, stablecoins, and new payment systems. And we will consider reforms to unleash awesome power of the American capital market.

“Americans deserve a financial services industry that works for all Americans, including and especially Main Street. Under President Trump’s leadership the Treasury Department and I will deliver that to you,”  Bessent added.

Bessent criticized current regulatory approaches as outdated and skewed toward global frameworks, particularly the Basel Committee’s capital standards, which he claimed are “not in my opinion the right starting point for a modernization effort.” 

He called for a U.S.-first model built from “the ground up,” emphasizing that decisions impacting domestic financial innovation should not be shaped by international bodies lacking transparency. 

His remarks suggested that this shift could help level the playing field between banks and nonbank financial innovators, a move that would give rise to broader adoption of technologies like digital assets and tokenized payment networks.

In line with that vision, Bessent confirmed that the Treasury would also review capital rules that currently disincentivize investment in innovation. He further pledged to modernize anti-money laundering and compliance rules to allow financial institutions to focus on “national security priorities and high-risk areas,” giving them leeway to deprioritize lower-risk activities.

While pushing for reform, Bessent framed the administration’s approach as supportive of small-town lenders and consumers:

Americans deserve a financial services industry that works for all Americans.

His remarks position the Treasury to potentially spearhead new regulatory frameworks aimed at fostering both financial safety and cutting-edge innovation.

President Donald Trump has strengthened his pro-cryptocurrency position by ordering the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, using roughly 200,000 BTC seized in legal cases to support national economic interests.

At the same time, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) disbanded its National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team, indicating a shift from enforcement to industry support. The moves reflect the administration’s aim to make the U.S. a global crypto leader.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday Morning 4-10-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  US official: We have huge opportunities in Iraq

The Vice President of the US Chamber of Commerce, Steve Lutes, announced that "his country's companies in the energy and healthcare sectors will visit Baghdad in the coming period," stressing that "there are tremendous opportunities in Iraq."

A US delegation arrived in Iraq last Monday, the largest US trade mission ever, comprising representatives from 60 companies across various sectors.

In a statement seen by Al-Masry Al-Youm on Thursday, Lutz said, "The American delegation listened to a speech by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani regarding relations between Iraq and the United States and ways to develop them."

He added, "The US economic delegation signed several important agreements with Iraq, some of which were attended by the Iraqi Prime Minister, and this was in coordination with the US Treasury Department."

Lutz noted that "this visit will be a new spark for developing relations between American economic and business companies and Iraq, especially given the many investment opportunities we seek to capitalize on in light of the long-term partnership with our Iraqi partners."  link

Tishwash:  Despite Tariffs, US brings largest Trade Delegation to Iraq

Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani received a delegation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, including American investors and corporate executives, accompanied by the U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in Iraq.

The meeting focused on strengthening economic ties and promoting Iraq as an attractive destination for foreign investment.

The Prime Minister outlined steps taken by the Iraqi government to facilitate business entry, noting the country's broad and diverse market, legal reforms, and investment incentives. He emphasised Iraq's stability, skilled labour force, and ongoing development across various sectors.

According to a statement from the US Embassy, almost 60 U.S. companies are part of the delegation, aiming to. "strengthen U.S.-Iraq private sector ties and foster fair and balanced trade between the U.S. and Iraq."

The U.S. Chamber and the Federation of Iraqi Chambers of Commerce earlier signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to "strengthen ties between the US and Iraqi private sectors." It added: "This partnership will foster long-term economic collaboration."

Last week, the US imposed additional tariffs of 39 percent on imports from Iraq (excluding oil).

Full statement from the Media Office of the Prime Minister:

Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani Welcomes a Delegation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani welcomed today, Wednesday, a large delegation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which included a number of corporate executives and American investors, in the presence of the U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in Iraq.

The Prime Minister reviewed the facilitations and measures taken by the government to support the entry of businesspeople and companies into the Iraqi market, which now holds numerous promising opportunities. He noted that Iraq offers a broad and diversified market for various goods, products, and services.

Prime Minister Al-Sudani emphasized that the Iraqi people have made significant achievements in defeating terrorism and laying the foundations for national development. He stressed the importance of maintaining and strengthening bilateral relations with the United States, particularly since Iraq today stands as a distinguished democratic model in the region.

Key highlights from the Prime Minister's remarks:

Due to the war in the 1980s, the sanctions in the 1990s, and the fight against terrorism over the past two decades, development in Iraq has been delayed across all sectors.

Iraq is a fertile ground for investment opportunities in all fields.

The country today enjoys political, security, societal, and economic stability, and is witnessing an unprecedented development boom.

Iraq has a skilled labor force and promising expertise across various fields.

The government has worked to improve the business environment and made serious efforts to reform laws to facilitate company registration and operations.

Iraq's investment law offers numerous incentives to investors, and the government is working on a legislative package to further encourage foreign investment.

Iraq's trade balance is not in deficit, but structural reforms are needed to reduce reliance on oil.

Iraq is an industrial and agricultural nation and represents the shortest commercial route between East and West, connecting to Europe through Türkiye.

The Development Road Project will become the shortest and most cost-effective economic corridor linking Asia and Europe.

Iraq possesses untapped mineral wealth and ranks first globally in sulfur reserves and second in phosphate reserves.

Iraq produces 4 million barrels of oil per day, but flares associated gas while simultaneously importing gas to power electricity stations.

The government has set a vision for strategic projects and signed contracts with international companies to stop gas flaring by early 2028.

Iraq ranks among the top ten countries in the world in natural gas reserves.

Some portray a negative image of Iraq, which is not only unfair but also inaccurate.

Iraq has welcomed numerous investment companies to carry out projects in energy, housing, industry, and agriculture, with the total value of investment licenses reaching $88 billion.

Sovereign guarantees have been granted to the private sector to support the implementation of projects in various sectors.  link

Tishwash:  Government Advisor: Cooperation between Fiscal and Monetary Policies Ensures Sustainable Economic Stability

The Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, explained on Wednesday the mechanism for closing and financing the budget deficit. He noted that the state's general budget is based on an oil price of $70 to counter market fluctuations. He emphasized that cooperation between fiscal and monetary policies ensures sustainable economic stability.

 Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "Since the federal state budget was enacted under Law No. 13 of 2023, amended (the three-year budget for 2023, 2024, and 2025), it has been based on conservative oil prices to counter oil market fluctuations.

This includes adopting a price of $70 per barrel of crude oil, an export capacity of 3.4 million barrels of oil per day, and an annual spending ceiling of approximately 200 trillion dinars, with a planned deficit of approximately 64 trillion dinars."

He explained that "the planned deficit, if realized, turns into an actual deficit, financed (according to the degree of deficit) from domestic sources and a small number of committed external sources, depending on actual need, particularly for financing development projects."

He added that "the domestic sources of deficit financing are loans provided by the government banking system, often to finance the general budget when a deficit occurs, as a bridge loan. With the exception of the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, nothing has occurred that requires significant borrowing, except for less than 6% of the total planned annual balance to date."

He pointed out that "there is close and precise cooperation between fiscal and monetary policies, and they are proceeding closely together to build sustainable financial stability in our country to confront any shock of a sudden drop in global oil prices and its repercussions on financing the state's general budget."

He continued: "This is in order to maintain spending related to securing salaries, wages, pensions, social care, the basic services program, and support for farmers, all of which are constants in spending in the 2025 fiscal year, while proceeding with basic service projects (education, health, sewage networks, electricity, water, and roads)." link

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 secretary, an 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 stance, describing 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 Sigel, reports 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 crypto. French 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.

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.

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 in. Jim 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 Jian. The 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 Europe, the 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 beat, Trump 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 Kretov, senior 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 recovery, Darren Chu, contributing analyst at BRN, had 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.
