Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
BRICS: US & INDIA FINALIZE TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR NEW TRADE DEAL
Despite the tensions between the nation and the BRICS alliance, the US and India have reportedly finalized terms of reference for a new trade deal. Indeed, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer confirmed the major development amid US Vice President JD Vance’s visit to the country, according to a CNBC report.
Moreover, Greer noted that the United States and India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry have clearly laid out “a roadmap for the negotiations on reciprocal trade.” The major headway was confirmed as Vance traveled to India, meeting with President Narendra Modi on Monday.
US Vice President Meets With Indian President as New Trade Deal Takes Step Forward
Since the start of April, tensions between the United States and the BRICS alliance have been growing. Specifically, the country is inching closer toward a trade war with China. Indeed, amid a series of sweeping global tariffs, they levied an import duty that could reach heights of 245% on China.
However, that hasn’t stopped allies within the economic alliance from seeking a new agreement with the country. Indeed, the US and India have reportedly finalized the terms of reference for a new trade deal. The development was made as US Vice President JD Vance visited the nation, meeting with President Narendra Modi.
According to reports, the two sides have made “significant progress” towards a new trade deal. Both world leaders made note of their “continued efforts” to grow their collaboration. Moreover, they championed the need for a “mutually beneficial India-US bilateral trade agreement.”
During the initial arrival of US President Donald Trump’s Liberation Day tariff plan, India was given a 26% reciprocal tariff. However, that was lessened when the administration announced a 90-day pause. Subseuqnlety, until it resumes, the nation is facing a 10% baseline tariff alongside all US trade partners.

THE GREAT RESET JUST TOOK A MAJOR HIT
On the same day Pope Francis—known for his inclusive beliefs—passed away, another globalist fell: Klaus Schwab, the architect of the World Economic Forum's dystopian agenda, announced he was stepping down from the WEF board.
It marks the end of an era for Schwab, who championed radical wokeness, bug eating, mass vaccination campaigns, population control, and climate de-growth policies through what often resembled digital communism—social credit scores, central bank digital currencies, and many more China-like policies.
Meanwhile, cultural shifts across the Americas signal a rising movement toward traditional values, sending the WEF's ideological woke grip on governments, non-government organizations, corporations, the church, and society into disarray.
"Following my recent announcement, and as I enter my 88th year, I have decided to step down from the position of Chair and as a member of the Board of Trustees, with immediate effect," Schwab wrote in a statement.
Schwab stepped down as executive chairman one year ago, with former Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende taking over daily operations. WEF said Vice Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe was appointed board chairman in the interim and that a search committee for replacement had been appointed.
WEF stated:
"At a time when the world is undergoing rapid transformation, the need for inclusive dialogue to navigate complexity and shape the future has never been more critical. The Board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum underlines the importance of remaining steadfast in its mission and values as a facilitator of progress. Building on its trusted role, the Forum will continue to bring together leaders from all sectors and regions to exchange insights and foster collaboration."
Schwab’s resignation also comes three months after President Trump told globalist CEOs at the WEF’s 2025 Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, “America is back.” It also follows Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative, which nuked USAID programs that funneled billions of taxpayer dollars into corrupt NGOs.
Last month, Eric Weinstein made some very interesting comments at ARC 2025, indicating:
"The post-World War II order has fallen. JD Vance has announced this - I personally think it's very important that the US treat its friends in Europe very very well and it should be done in a fashion that lets people know that the US will be there for the long haul. I am sure that that is in the cards, but we have to realize that we are waking up from a very long period of time which I've called the "Great Nap"..."
Did Trump's MAGA derail Schwab's 'Great Reset' plans?
Looks like it. But globalists will rebrand. So stay tuned.

China Has Officially Deployed Its Digital Arsenal
China Has Officially Deployed Its Digital Arsenal
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) April 22, 2025
By 1970, US commanders in Vietnam were optimistic that they had “functionally severed” North Vietnamese forces. The generals were particularly boastful about their taking out the Ho Chi Minh Trail—a sprawling network of roads, footpaths, and tunnels through Laos and Cambodia that let North Vietnamese forces move troops and supplies into South Vietnam, bypassing the fortified border.
After bombing it into oblivion, a senior US Air Force general declared, “Gentlemen, what we have here is the end of North Vietnam as a viable fighting power.”
China Has Officially Deployed Its Digital Arsenal
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) April 22, 2025
By 1970, US commanders in Vietnam were optimistic that they had “functionally severed” North Vietnamese forces. The generals were particularly boastful about their taking out the Ho Chi Minh Trail—a sprawling network of roads, footpaths, and tunnels through Laos and Cambodia that let North Vietnamese forces move troops and supplies into South Vietnam, bypassing the fortified border.
After bombing it into oblivion, a senior US Air Force general declared, “Gentlemen, what we have here is the end of North Vietnam as a viable fighting power.”
Unfortunately, the ‘experts’ were wrong again.
Only weeks after declaring victory, US forces found themselves locked in a brutal and unexpected battle at Fire Support Base Ripcord— a base the US was constructing as a launchpad for future operations.
The North Vietnamese brought in artillery, mortars, rockets, anti-aircraft weapons, and wave after wave of ground troops. All of that firepower, manpower, and ammunition moved hundreds of miles through dense jungle terrain, across borders, and into South Vietnam—right under the nose of US airpower that had supposedly rendered the the Ho Chi Minh Trail defunct.
Their ability to move silently helped the Viet Cong guerrillas wage a shadow war of ambushes, sabotage, and infiltration—blending into the population by day and striking by night.
The Viet Cong’s psychological victories eroded US public support. Morale among American troops declined, and political dissent at home surged.
US troops at Fire Support Base Ripcord held out for nearly a month under constant bombardment and ground assaults. But by late July, with casualties mounting, the last Americans were airlifted out under enemy fire.
It was a scene that foreshadowed what would play out in Saigon just a few years later as the US abandoned the war.
And it was through the use of these guerrilla tactics— Distract. Disrupt. Discourage. Dismay.— that a substantially weaker force was able to defeat a much more powerful army.
China is starting to do the same thing in this economic war with the United States. And they’re targeting America’s youth.
For example, TikTok’s ‘Blackout Challenge’ encourages the app’s young users to asphyxiate themselves until they lose consciousness, which led to the death of a 13-year old California boy in February of this year.
A 15-year old in Oklahoma died from the ‘Benadryl Challenge’. Concussions and other serious injuries have resulted from the ‘Skullbreaker Challenge’ where kids ‘prank’ others by kicking their legs out from under them as they jump.
Curiously, Chinese teens haven’t succumbed to the same contests. Instead, viral math problems challenging users' problem-solving skills regularly trend on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok.
One popular influencer is a 12-year-old girl who has gone viral for teaching college-level math, explaining complex problems in a simplified manner.
Last week, we got another look at how TikTok figures into China’s guerrilla economic warfare arsenal.
Chinese influencers began pointing American consumers toward a new app: DHgate— a Beijing-based e-commerce platform that sells items directly from the Chinese factories which manufacture brand-name goods.
Their pitch: why pay $120 for name-brand yoga pants when the same exact item, just without a brand label, can be yours for $15?
Within days, DHgate exploded in popularity—climbing to the #2 spot on Apple’s App Store in the US, just behind Temu (another Chinese-owned e-commerce app) and ahead of ChatGPT.
Yoga pants, handbags, sunglasses, sneakers, you name it—products stripped of their logos and exposed for what they are: glorified drop-shipped Chinese goods with a 700% markup.
Of course, the sudden surge in popularity wasn’t organic; it was orchestrated.
Chinese influencers produced videos explaining how major Western brands were bilking their consumers and outsourcing production to these very same factories.
TikTok made sure those videos went viral in the US.
Even 145% tariffs would only push the price of $15 yoga pants up to $36.75— still much less expensive than buying from Lululemon.
China’s guerrilla strategy is clear: They want US consumers to question who is the enemy— the ones selling you affordable clothing, or the ones increasing your cost of living?
This drives a wedge between consumers and the US government— why would my government prevent me from buying affordable goods? Tariffs could quickly become as unpopular among Americans as the Vietnam War was in the 1960s.
China is weaponizing TikTok to turn US consumers against the government... and against major US brands.
They pulled back the curtain on how the economy really makes the sausage—exposing that a $2,000 handbag comes from the same factory, made of the same materials, with the same quality stitching as the $40 knockoff. Americans are paying thousands for a label, not for a superior product.
You can bet that all the data that has been gathered from TikTok has been sent back to the mothership to be analyzed and weaponized. China clearly understands how to use that information for marketing and messaging in ways that could give them a huge edge in the escalating economic warfare.
American consumers may quickly feel that China is not the enemy robbing them blind; instead, they may view China as the ones offering a better deal.
The US government, on the other hand, suddenly looks like the bad guy for keeping prices high and products out of reach.
And this is just the beginning.
What happens when a billion-dollar marketing machine—fueled by foreign data, run through a CCP-influenced algorithm, and distributed on the most addictive app in the world—starts targeting not just consumer wallets, but the foundations of America’s consumer-centric economy?
An erosion of trust in American brands. A growing resentment toward US trade policy. A subtle, creeping, deliberate narrative that China gives you value, while your own government gives you inflation.
This is now the guerrilla phase of the economic war.

Gold Soars Past $3400 As Stocks Plummet | Mario Innecco
Liberty and Finance: 4-22-2025
Mario Innecco discusses the recent surge in gold prices, attributing it to ongoing global currency debasement and long-term inflationary policies by central banks.
He highlights the accumulation of physical gold by sovereign nations and central banks as a signal of a potential monetary realignment, possibly involving gold's return to the global financial system.
Innecco also emphasizes the declining credibility of fiat currencies and the dollar index as misleading, noting that all fiat currencies are weakening relative to gold.

Innecco also emphasizes the declining credibility of fiat currencies and the dollar index as misleading, noting that all fiat currencies are weakening relative to gold.
He suggests that the Dow-to-gold ratio could return to 1:1, reflecting a major shift in financial markets similar to past historical resets.
Finally, Innecco advises patience and continued accumulation of gold and silver, warning that pullbacks may be brief and sharp as fear eventually drives more investors into hard assets.

The President of the United States said this today:
“He who has the gold makes the rules.”
Nothing to see here…
The world is undergoing a transformational moment… something I have spent years covering.
• Treasuries selling off
• Global trade changing
• Strategic relationships breaking down
The list goes on. Many are watching in disbelief.
The Dow is down 800 points. The dollar is under pressure. Gold has smashed through $3400. The President of the United States has called the chairman of the Federal Reserve a loser. What a time to be alive.
The dollar is getting crushed. And yet, dollar bulls are acting like contrarians while hyping the world’s reserve currency. Seriously? When the music played loud, they all laughed and had condescending attitudes toward gold people.
The US dollar has lost over 40% of its purchasing power compared to gold in the 1 year… This should be the biggest story in the world, yet it is not. This tells you everything.
The world is relearning the meaning of money. Life doesn’t teach through lectures, only consequences.

PAUL ATKINS OFFICIALLY SWORN IN AS SEC CHAIR, SIGNALS SHIFT TO CRYPTO-FRIENDLY APPROACH
Paul Atkins was sworn in on Monday as the 34th Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), marking a significant shift toward a more crypto-friendly regulatory stance.

PAUL ATKINS OFFICIALLY SWORN IN AS SEC CHAIR, SIGNALS SHIFT TO CRYPTO-FRIENDLY APPROACH
Paul Atkins was sworn in on Monday as the 34th Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), marking a significant shift toward a more crypto-friendly regulatory stance.
Atkins’ appointment signals a departure from former Chair Gary Gensler’s aggressive enforcement strategy against digital asset firms. In his opening remarks, Atkins reaffirmed the SEC’s mission to promote capital formation, ensure fair markets, and protect investors.
He emphasized the need for clear and consistent regulation, stating that his experience in both public service and the private sector has shown him how regulatory uncertainty can stifle innovation.
Atkins To Exit Patomak Following SEC Appointment And Crypto Focus
Atkins, who founded Patomak Global Partners in 2009 to help develop digital asset standards, pledged to step down from his role at the firm within 90 days. His nomination passed narrowly, with 52 Republican votes in favor and 44 Democrats opposing.
Senator Elizabeth Warren had previously pressed Atkins to disclose Patomak’s advisory work with crypto companies, including ties to the collapsed FTX exchange.
During his Senate confirmation, Atkins criticized previous regulatory approaches as overly complex and politicized. He committed to leading the SEC with what he described as a “rational and principled” framework, aimed at fostering innovation rather than hindering it.
Atkins takes over from Gensler, whose tenure was marked by numerous lawsuits against crypto firms for alleged securities violations.
Since Gensler’s departure, acting Chair Mark Uyeda and Commissioner Hester Peirce have already moved to dismiss many of these cases and eased oversight on sectors like meme coins and crypto mining.
Known for his strong Wall Street connections, Atkins’ financial disclosures revealed investments of up to $5 million in digital asset firm Off the Chain Capital LLC. With a combined net worth of approximately $327 million, Atkins becomes one of the wealthiest SEC chairs in recent history.
As the SEC transitions under Atkins’ leadership, it faces a backlog of over 70 crypto-related ETF applications involving assets like Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, and MELANIA. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas summed up the sentiment on X, saying, “Gonna be a wild year.”
SEC Changes Crypto Enforcement Strategy
Last month, the SEC officially ended its investigation into Australian-based crypto gaming firm Immutable, bringing a significant chapter in the company’s regulatory journey to a close.
The SEC’s move to close the Immutable case is part of a broader trend in its crypto enforcement strategy. In recent months, the agency has also dropped investigations into other major crypto firms, including OpenSea, Uniswap, Robinhood, and Gemini.
To enhance regulatory clarity, the SEC has also launched a crypto-focused task force led by Commissioner Hester Peirce.
Meanwhile, Ripple is nearing the end of its own legal battle with the SEC. A March 26 update confirmed Ripple will not pursue a counter-appeal after the SEC agreed to drop its appeal earlier this month.
The company will pay a reduced fine of $50 million, down from the initially proposed $125 million.

ECB FLAGS RISK OF FINANCIAL CONTAGION FROM US CRYPTO PUSH
The ECB is calling for changes to MiCA, only months after the regulatory framework was implemented.
The European Central Bank (ECB) raised an alarm over potential fallout from aggressive US support for the crypto industry, warning that a surge in dollar-backed stablecoins could destabilize Europe’s financial system.
According to a policy paper seen by Politico, the ECB has asked for a revision of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies just months after it came into effect.
The concern is that US reforms backed by President Donald Trump could flood European markets with dollar-denominated stablecoins.
The ECB fears this could trigger a flight of European capital into US assets, undermining EU financial sovereignty and exposing banks to liquidity risks.
ECB and European Commission clash over MiCA rules
While the ECB calls for tighter controls, the European Commission dismissed the warnings as exaggerated, per the report.
The report, citing two diplomats and one EU official, said that the existing MiCA framework is robust enough to manage stablecoin risks despite potential US policies like the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy (STABLE) and the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS), two bills aimed at expanding America’s crypto footprint.
“The Commission was quite clear that they had different views on this topic,” and “not very many (countries) supported the idea that we should now jump the gun and start making quick changes in (the rules) based on this alone,” one of the diplomats reportedly told Politico.
The stablecoin sector now commands a valuation of $234 billion, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
The ECB warned that European issuers could face redemption pressures from EU and foreign holders without stricter limits, potentially sparking a financial “run” and harming exposed institutions.
“The worry is warranted,” Mikko Ohtamaa, co-founder and CEO at Trading Strategy, said in a post on X. “However, the EU had the first mover advantage with the regulation and they screwed it up.”
Ohtamaa said no EU stablecoin is globally competitive due to MiCA’s restrictive rules, which are influenced by bank and legacy finance lobbying.
Tether remains a major critic of MiCA
Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, USDt (USDT), has long been a critic of the EU’s MiCA regulation.
Last year, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino argued that MiCA’s requirements, particularly the mandate for stablecoin issuers to hold at least 60% of reserves in EU bank accounts, could introduce systemic risks to both stablecoins and the broader banking system.
Due to noncompliance with MiCA, USDT has faced delistings from major European exchanges, including Coinbase, Crypto.com and Kraken.

“Tidbits From TNT” Tuesday Morning 4-22-2025
TNT:
Tishwash: The Central Bank renews its warning against trading in withdrawn banknotes.
In recent years, this bank has observed the circulation of foreign banknotes from various countries, some of which are genuine and in circulation, others withdrawn from circulation, and some counterfeit. Such banknotes are used by unscrupulous outlaws to defraud citizens by luring them into exchanging them for Iraqi dinars at prices far exceeding their actual value.
They claim that exchanging them offers them significant profits and rare investment opportunities.
Therefore, the Central Bank of Iraq calls upon the public and the specialized security and regulatory agencies to monitor these matters and refrain from handling these banknotes. They should focus on Iraqi banknotes and those handled by the Central Bank of Iraq and the banking system, to avoid falling prey to outlaws.

Tishwash: Federation of Chambers of Commerce: Visit of American companies resulted in a regulatory work agreement for the private sector
The Federation of Iraqi Chambers of Commerce affirmed on Monday that the visit of American companies is a message to the world that Iraq is a safe environment. It also explained that the visit resulted in an agreement on a regulatory framework for the private sector.
Abdul Razzaq Al-Zuhairi, head of the General Federation of Iraqi Chambers of Commerce, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “The visit of American companies to Iraq to invest and work with Iraqi businessmen is a positive and important step for Iraq.”
He explained that "Iraq is a fertile environment, and the visits of American companies to Iraq are a positive message to all countries of the world that Iraq is a safe environment."
He added, "American companies have signed numerous agreements with the Iraqi private sector in the fields of electric power and renewable energy. The most important memorandum is the signing of a regulatory framework between the Iraqi and American private sectors by the American Chamber of Commerce and the Iraqi Chamber of Commerce."
He pointed out that "a number of American companies have signed agreements with the private sector, most notably the global company Google, which is seeking to enter Iraq. Its representative came and wrote a positive message about Iraq, stating that Iraq is safe, which is an important message to the world link

Tishwash: An expert identifies the missing link to diversifying sources of income and achieving economic reform.
Economic expert Qusay Safwan identified the missing link in the path to diversifying sources of income and achieving economic reform in Iraq. He noted that controlling corruption begins with the banking sector and is linked to understanding revenue risks and the behavior of the Iraqi dinar at border crossings.
During his appearance on the "Free Talk" program on Al Furat TV channel this evening, Safwan explained that "economic diversification cannot be achieved without regulating these outlets, which are a tool for protecting local production and developing investment." He indicated that "reforming the financial sector requires rehabilitating banks through mergers, partnerships, and specialization."
He stressed that "these goals are still far off, and the real beginning lies in developing the human resources working in the banking sector, especially since most Iraqi banks focus their grants on the housing sector."
Safwan explained that "the Central Bank's policy is geared toward supporting financial inclusion, as 40% of individuals use electronic banks, a matter linked to suspicions of money laundering." He called for "providing incentives to credit card holders and motivating them through tax exemptions and import facilitation, which would enhance the conversion of the dinar into hard currency through the Central Bank."
He pointed out that "the Central Bank alone cannot reform the Iraqi economy in light of the lack of control over border crossings and the citizens' lack of trust in banks," emphasizing that "investing in technology is costly, but necessary and yields tangible benefits for shops and businesses."
Safwan revealed that "Iraq has $100 billion in the US Federal Reserve," emphasizing "the need to eliminate intermediaries and build a direct relationship between producers and consumers," warning that "corruption is greater than the support available at the outlets."
He added, "Private banks were established as joint-stock companies, and their shares are now denominated below the dinar mark and are available to all." He called on the Central Bank to "address the dispute between it and the Companies Registrar regarding dividend distribution, which is prompting small shareholders to sell their shares to major investors."
Safwan concluded by saying, "Government banks need a comprehensive restructuring to drive development and create investment portfolios for agricultural, industrial, and commercial cities." He also highlighted the need to integrate the local market with global markets, similar to the Gulf banks, and attract $350 billion domestically. link

INCOMING SEC CHAIR TO WEIGH MORE THAN 70 CRYPTO ETF FILINGS—INCLUDING SOLANA AND XRP
Spot crypto ETFs are currently limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum in the U.S., but analysts expect new approvals this year.
▪️Incoming SEC Chair Paul Atkins will have more than 70 crypto ETF hopefuls to review when he begins in the role.
▪️Funds pegged to Dogecoin, Pengu, Solana, XRP, and the Melania meme coin are all in the mix.
▪️After punting on XRP ETFs in March, the agency can delay its final decision until mid-October.
Incoming SEC Chair Paul Atkins will have an avalanche of crypto-related applications to sift through when he officially takes control of the regulator.
Hopeful issuers now await feedback on 72 crypto-linked exchange-traded funds in the U.S., including requests to list options, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.
“Gonna be a wild year,” he said on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday, noting ETF hopefuls have positioned themselves to offer funds for assets ranging from Solana to the first lady’s meme coin.
Atkins was confirmed as U.S. President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission by a full Senate vote around two weeks ago. His swearing-in ceremony is expected to take place soon, marking an official start to the SEC’s push to regulate crypto collaboratively under new leadership.
Although Atkins was a proponent of deregulation during his previous stint at the SEC, analysts say the crypto-friendly veteran may have to make a few first-time calls, specifically when it comes to which cryptocurrencies can be approved for listings as commodity-based trusts.
Balchunas did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Decrypt.
Last year, the SEC approved spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs under former SEC Chair Gary Gensler. While the approvals represented a landmark moment for the crypto industry, it raised deeper questions about which cryptocurrencies should be regulated as commodities, and therefore be allowed to trade on Wall Street in a similar fashion to assets like gold.
In total, asset managers are looking for feedback on applications tied to 15 different cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Those include applications centered on digital assets with large valuations like Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP—alongside relatively nascent ones like the Solana-based tokens Bonk, Pengu, and Official Trump.
Under Acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda, the agency has chipped away at some regulatory uncertainty. In February, the SEC said that it generally doesn’t consider meme coins to be securities, but it didn’t advise whether they were fitting for Wall Street wrappers.
For assets like XRP, the SEC won’t be forced to make a decision immediately after Atkins takes the reins at the agency. After punting on XRP ETFs in March, the agency can delay its final decision until mid-October.

BRICS: CHINA UNVEILS FIRST GOLD ATM: MELTS AND CONVERTS GOLD
BRICS member China has unveiled the world’s first Gold ATM that melts, tests, and converts gold into instant bank transfers. The ATM has already witnessed long queues of people trying to sell off their generational gold. Users need to book an appointment to use it, and according to early reports, appointment slots are full until as late as May.
The Gold ATM is operated by China’s Kinghood Group and is installed at a mall in Shanghai. The machine weighs, checks the quality, and analyses the Gold before dispensing the money equivalent to the price that was put in. The ATM is designed to accept gold items of over three grams with a purity of at least 50 percent.
“The introduction of smart gold ATMs primarily serves a recycling function from a business perspective. This reflects the fact that, with rising gold prices, the value of gold held by the public has increased significantly, leading to a stronger desire to cash out,” Wion quoted Xu Weixin, a member of the Shanghai Gold Association, as saying. “There is still strong upward momentum for gold, mainly driven by central banks and institutional investors accelerating their gold purchases.”
XAU/USD Surges to All-Time High as China Begins Using Gold ATM
Furthermore, the development from China also comes as Gold prices globally are skyrocketing. Indeed, the precious metal touched the historic milestone of $3,400 on Monday.
The XAU/USD index, which tracks the performance of the precious metal, showed the commodity surging 70 points, spiking more than 2% in the day’s trade. The Spot Gold prices have risen close to 30% year-to-date, generating stellar returns to investors.
Commodity traders who took an entry position this year are all enjoying profits as the metal is heading north. This is the highest the glittery metal has surged in the last four months since 2010.
The steady yet unending accumulation of gold, as well as China’s new Gold ATM, could send its prices higher by the end of 2025. Senior Bloomberg strategist Mike McGlone recently predicted that the metal could soon hit the $4,000 mark next.
“We’re putting in a pretty good base now around $3,000,” McGlone said. “It’s going to head into $4,000, the question is time. Anything in between there is for the traders, which I used to do.”

Fed’s $2T Bailout is Prepped - Banks Will Echo WW2 Era
Fed’s $2T Bailout is Prepped - Banks Will Echo WW2 Era
Daniela Cambone: 4-21-2025
“It ends with the banks looking like they did at the end of World War II... half of their book was government bonds,” says R. Christopher Whalen, investment banker and author.
In a conversation with Daniela Cambone, he breaks down the systemic risks emerging in the treasury market. “Today the treasury market is basically a carry trade with a lot of hedge funds using 100 to 1 leverage.
That’s the market for treasury debt,” he explains, pointing to the fragility of the current system.

Whalen also argues that the Bretton Woods framework has eroded and that the dollar’s dominance is waning.
“This dollar Imperium has run its course.” He believes central banks — including the U.S. Federal Reserve — should diversify their reserves to include gold alongside major currencies like the dollar, euro, and yen.
He views gold as a strategic reserve asset with untapped financial utility. “I hope... the BIS is going to recognize gold as a high-quality liquid asset... it would become eligible to be collateral in swaps,” he says.

Sat. 20 April 2025: Quantum GESARA: G.E.S.A.R.A, Farmers Plan & More – Power Back to the People! …Nesara/Gesara on Telegram
QUANTUM GESARA: THE FINAL RESET HAS BEGUN In the midst of global turmoil and a crumbling fiat economy, a revolutionary system is emerging: Quantum GESARA. . It fuses NESARA/GESARA, quantum technology, the 1955 Price Reset, and the long-hidden Farmers Plan into one coordinated strike against the Deepstate’s economic empire. The reset isn’t coming—it’s underway.
A RETURN TO 1955: THE AMERICAN DREAM REBORN: Imagine a world where you can buy a home for the cost of a modern-day appliance. That’s the promise of the 1955 reset. Through the resurrection of suppressed executive orders and sovereign common law, we’re entering a phase where inflation is crushed, debt is erased, and life becomes affordable again. This isn’t nostalgia—it’s policy. History is being reversed.
The U.S. Treasury is aligning with ISO20022 and Rainbow Treasury Notes backed by gold and silver. The Federal Reserve? (allegedly) Gone. StarLink is the new nervous system of commerce. And with Quantum Internet on the rise, censorship will be obliterated as the truth floods the globe.
THE GLOBAL CURRENCY RESET (GCR): THE MOAB HAS DETONATED The GCR—aka The Mother of All Bombs—has been triggered. Treasury-backed Rainbow Notes are live in test markets. The old fiat system is disintegrating. A 10-day shutdown will (allegedly) activate the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS), and following a three-day Quantum Blockchain Election, governments will reset under new leadership—downsized by 90%.
RESTITUTION AND JUSTICE: NESARA, GESARA, AND THE ST GERMAIN TRUST Where is the stolen wealth? Who hijacked the prosperity programs? The answers are being exposed. The return of taxes paid, reparations for illigal foreclosures, and justice for the stolen St Germain Trust are at the core of NESARA/GESARA. This is not theory—it’s restitution.

Frank26 I believe it's implemented. I believe they're using the new exchange rate. I can't prove it to you...but based on what I read...At 1310, 2 + 2 = is not 7. 2 + 2 is 4. These articles, this is logical. This is the truth. They're telling you what they're doing, what they're going to do. They're telling you how they're protecting the new exchange rate from parliament.
Militia Man 'Investing in strategic minerals such as thorium could generate returns comparable to oil as thorium is cleaner and more important alternative than uranium. Linking the value of the national currency to invest in the minerals depends on Iraq’s ability to enter valued added chains which contribute to raising the gross domestic product…This boom in mineral investment will positively impact fiscal and monetary policy by enhancing monetary stability.' That’s what they want, monetary stability…It’s kind of a long article but it’s fascinating. Linking the value of the national currency to investment based off their natural resources I think is quite simple to understand … The expectation is Iraq will have a real effective exchange rate and open up and integrate into the International financial system.

Tishwash: Representatives of the Iraqi oil ministry, KRG, and APIKUR meet in Erbil, April 20, 2025.
A trilateral meeting was convened in Erbil on Sunday among representatives of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), and the Association of the Petroleum Industry of Kurdistan (APIKUR) to address critical issues concerning the Kurdistan Region's oil sector, with a primary focus on resuming oil exports. Omid Sabah, Chief of Staff of the KRG Council of Ministers, stated that discussions involved the operational activities of oil companies and explored mechanisms to facilitate the restart of exports.
The meeting also considered the challenges and proposals presented by these companies to create a conducive environment for resuming oil exports promptly.
Despite the Iraqi Parliament's approval of amendments to the federal budget law on February 2, 2025, particularly Article 12 concerning the resumption of Kurdistan's oil exports, disagreements between the federal government and the KRG have hindered the implementation of these provisions. The amendments stipulate that the federal Ministry of Finance will compensate the KRG for production and transportation costs of oil delivered to the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO). An international technical advisory body, to be appointed jointly by the federal and regional governments, was tasked with determining the fair cost of production and transportation for each oil field within 60 days of the law's enactment. However, this deadline has passed without an agreement, prompting concerns from Iraqi lawmakers.
Adnan al-Jaberi, Deputy Chairman of the Iraqi Parliament's Oil and Gas Committee, emphasized that the 60-day period to select a consulting firm has expired without consensus. He noted that, in the absence of agreement, the federal government reserves the right to unilaterally appoint the advisory body.
Meanwhile, oil production companies operating in the Kurdistan Region have expressed skepticism toward the Iraqi Ministry of Oil. These companies demand the settlement of outstanding payments for past production, advance payments, and future guarantees as prerequisites for resuming export operations.
The halt in oil exports since March 2023, following a ruling by the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris, has significantly impacted the Kurdistan Region's economy, leading to delays in public sector salaries and reductions in essential services. Baghdad is under increasing pressure to resolve these disputes to restore financial stability and economic growth across Iraq.
As negotiations continue, the resumption of oil exports remains contingent upon resolving contractual disagreements, ensuring fair compensation for production and transportation costs, and rebuilding trust between the federal government and oil companies operating in the region.

Tishwash: The Central Bank launches the virtual bank project.
The Central Bank of Iraq announces its adoption of a project to launch a virtual bank in Iraqi universities. This is the first virtual bank to be established in an Iraqi university. The first phase will be held at Al-Muthanna University, which hosted a comprehensive exhibition held on the sidelines of the second scientific conference "Artificial Intelligence and Labor Market Requirements."
The conference was organized by the University's College of Administration and Economics, in cooperation with Mansoura University of Egypt, the Central Bank of Iraq, the Muthanna Chamber of Commerce, and the Muthanna Chamber of Industry.
The exhibition included pavilions representing a group of banks and companies, as well as displays of fine art and heritage.
The virtual bank project aims to provide students and graduates with practical experience in banking, preparing them to develop human resources capable of meeting the needs of financial institutions. It also aims to provide students with practical experience by simulating the work of financial institutions and adopting international best practices.
It also aims to encourage financial institutions operating in Iraq to access and expand financial services to all geographical regions of Iraq, with the aim of strengthening financial inclusion plans.

CARDANO FOUNDER SAYS BUTERIN’S NEW ETHEREUM PROPOSAL ‘MAKES SENSE’

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
CARDANO FOUNDER SAYS BUTERIN’S NEW ETHEREUM PROPOSAL ‘MAKES SENSE’
A fleeting exchange on social media has drawn two of the crypto sector’s most prominent protocol architects into unexpected alignment. On Sunday, Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson replied to a technical blog post from Ethereum co‑founder Vitalik Buterin with a terse endorsement: “It makes sense, we are using RISC V with BitVMX. It’s the future.”
Buterin’s Latest Proposal For Ethereum
The comment was triggered by Buterin’s newly published “Long‑term L1 execution layer proposal” on the Ethereum Magicians forum, where he argues that Ethereum should abandon the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) in favour of the open‑source RISC‑V instruction‑set architecture.
In the proposal Buterin calls the idea “equally as ambitious as the beam‑chain effort is for the consensus layer,” contending that a RISC‑V transition would “greatly improve the efficiency of the Ethereum execution layer, resolving one of the primary scaling bottlenecks,” while also simplifying the core codebase. He stresses that the familiar account model and opcodes “would stay exactly the same,” explaining that opcodes such as SLOAD, SSTORE and CALL would be exposed to contracts as RISC‑V syscalls.
“Old‑style EVM contracts will continue to work and will be fully two‑way interoperable with new‑style RISC‑V contracts,” he adds, sketching implementation paths that range from a dual‑VM environment to a more radical interpreter‑based migration.
Buterin’s technical motivation centres on the cost of proving EVM execution inside zero‑knowledge circuits. He points to measurements from Succinct’s ZK‑EVM showing that four tasks—deserialising inputs, initialising the witness database, computing state roots and executing blocks—consume the bulk of prover cycles.
The last of those, block execution, alone accounts for roughly half of total proving time. “Some numbers suggest that in limited cases, this could give efficiency gains over 100 ×,” Buterin writes, suggesting that direct access to a RISC‑V virtual machine could eliminate the overhead of compiling the EVM into RISC‑V for ZK proof generation. He argues that even if pre‑compiles become the new bottleneck, the shift would still produce “very significant” performance wins.
Cardano’s Use Of RISC‑V
Hoskinson’s swift assent carries weight because Cardano has been building around the same architecture. The network’s extended UTxO model is now being paired with BitVMX FORCE, a collaborative effort designed to let Cardano dApps tap into Bitcoin’s liquidity and decentralised‑finance activity.
BitVMX emulates a general‑purpose CPU for Bitcoin using RISC‑V, which in turn lets Cardano’s domain‑specific languages—Plutus and the low‑level Aiken—compile contracts that run seamlessly on either chain. By adopting the same instruction set for its off‑chain circuits,
Cardano hopes to render zero‑knowledge proofs more efficient and to facilitate cross‑chain functionality without resorting to trusted bridges.
RISC‑V’s appeal is two‑fold. As an open specification it avoids licensing constraints while offering implementers freedom to add extensions; at the same time, it’s simple, orthogonal design is friendlier to zero‑knowledge proof systems than the EVM’s eclectic opcode catalogue or Bitcoin’s austere script.
Hoskinson’s “It’s the future” therefore describes not merely Cardano’s roadmap but a growing industry trend, now echoed inside Ethereum’s own research circles.
Whether Ethereum’s highly conservative core‑dev process will embrace Buterin’s proposal remains uncertain. The Beacon‑chain merge, the Cancun/Deneb upgrade and the push toward statelessness already crowd the execution‑layer agenda.
Yet the fact that both a UTXO‑based competitor and the originator of account‑based smart contracts now cite RISC‑V as the optimal long‑term target suggests that the argument will not dissipate quickly. As Buterin concludes, stripping the base layer to “well within” ten thousand lines of code may require “this kind of radical change.”

SOUTH KOREA'S CENTRAL BANK VOWS TO 'ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE' IN STABLECOIN LEGISLATION DEVELOPMENT
▪️The Bank of Korea said it will actively participate in developing stablecoin regulations to prevent potential risk to monetary and financial stability.
▪️The country is working on the second part of its crypto legislation, which is set to focus on stablecoins and transparency requirements for crypto services.
The Bank of Korea said it will "actively participate" in the country's efforts to build a regulatory framework for stablecoins in order to mitigate potential monetary and financial risks.
"Unlike general virtual assets, stablecoins inherently possess characteristics of a payment measure," the BOK said in a payment systems report on Monday. "If their usage expands, they could … undermine the effectiveness of monetary policies."
The central bank also pointed out that stablecoins could transmit risks from crypto-related crises to the traditional financial market, threatening financial stability and the integrity of payment and settlement systems.
"The [Bank of Korea] intends to present its views on the desirable direction of stablecoin regulation from a central bank perspective," the bank said.
South Korea is currently developing a follow-up legal framework to its inaugural crypto law, which took effect in July 2024 and focuses heavily on protecting crypto investors by setting stricter requirements for exchanges.
The second bill is set to establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins and provide clearer classifications for crypto service providers, along with rules for more transparent token listings and disclosures, the BOK said in its report.
South Korea's Financial Services Commission previously announced that it would start drafting the legislation in the second half of this year.
The BOK report suggested that the country had 18.25 million crypto investors as of December 2024, which is more than 35% of its current total population. The top five exchanges in South Korea see an average daily trading volume of around $12.1 billion.
In a parallel effort, the BOK is testing its central bank digital currency with participation from citizens, retail shops and local banks to determine its commercial feasibility. Local news outlets reported that the central bank's planned second-stage trial, set for October, will explore peer-to-peer transfers of the CBDC.
