Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
US SEC DELAYS DECISIONS ON POLKADOT AND HEDERA ETFS AS AGENCY WEIGHS DOZENS OF CRYPTO PROPOSALS
The SEC is extending its deadline to June 11, according to filings published on Thursday.
It will also delay a decision on the Bitwise Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF until June 10.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is pushing back its deadline for a few proposals to list and trade crypto funds based on Polkadot and Hedera's tokens. The agency is weighing dozens of filings to launch crypto exchange-traded funds.
The SEC is delaying its decision until June 11 to approve or disapprove a proposal from Grayscale to convert its Polkadot Trust as well as one from Canary to list an HBAR ETF, according to filings posted on Thursday. It originally had until the end of this week to make a judgement. The agency is also delaying a decision on the Bitwise Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF until June 10.
"The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised therein," the agency said in the HBAR filing.
Filings for the Grayscale Polkadot Trust and the Canary HBAR ETF were made in February as firms look to launch a variety of crypto ETFs in what is expected, and is so far, a crypto-friendlier SEC.
Since President Donald Trump took office in January, the SEC has shown an openness to the crypto industry through public crypto roundtables while also dropping several lawsuits against crypto firms. The next roundtable is on Friday and is focused on crypto custody.
Under former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, the agency approved the listing of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 and spot Ethereum ETFs later in July, following a decisive court ruling brought on by Grayscale.

BRICS: EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT IN FINAL TALKS TO REMOVE CHINA SANCTIONS
The European Parliament is in the “final stages” of discussions with Beijing about removing sanctions on China, according to a Parliament spokesperson. “Discussions with the Chinese authorities are continuing and in their final stages,” the spokesperson said Thursday. The Chinese government put retaliatory sanctions on some MEPs in 2021, after the EU sanctioned some Chinese officials and entities over alleged human rights abuses in Xinjiang.
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola “will first inform group leaders once there is official confirmation from the Chinese authorities that sanctions have been lifted. It has always been the EP’s intention to have sanctions lifted and resume relations with China”, the spokesperson added.
Further sanctions, amounting to a visa ban and asset freezes in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, were applied to a group of EU ambassadors who sat on the powerful European Council’s Political Security Committee, as well as the Mercator Institute for China Studies think tank and several other researchers. It is unclear if those sanctions are also set to be lifted, as representatives have yet to comment on further sanctions being cleared.
More Good News For China
The news is another positive for China, which earlier today also found out that their tariffs from the US may be lowered to 50%.
The Trump administration currently examines different methods for reducing the American trade barrier on Chinese imports, which he imposed in his second term, through possible reductions of 50% to 65%. Ears of political representatives are exploring a plan that duplicates previous House Committee on China recommendations.
China, meanwhile, has embarked on a charm offensive of its own, trying to rally European governments to fight Trump’s duties together. On Tuesday, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke by phone with the foreign ministers of Austria and Britain, in an effort to convince them to oppose US moves.
“The US uses tariffs as a weapon to launch indiscriminate attacks on various countries … as a responsible country, China has stood up to stop it, not only to safeguard its own legit rights and interests, but also to safeguard international rules and the multilateral trading system,” Wang said.

So… Is It Over? And The Surprising Player That Is Holding The Cards
So… Is It Over? And The Surprising Player That Is Holding The Cards
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) April 23, 2025
Franklin Roosevelt pressed the red emergency button to stop the elevator on the way down to his private dining room. The King of Saudi Arabia was waiting for him, but the President wanted to smoke a couple of cigarettes first.
It was 11:30 in the morning on Valentine’s Day, 1945. World War II was nearing its end, and Roosevelt had just come from the famous Yalta Conference with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin to discuss what post-war Europe would look like.
So… Is It Over? And The Surprising Player That Is Holding The Cards
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) April 23, 2025
Franklin Roosevelt pressed the red emergency button to stop the elevator on the way down to his private dining room. The King of Saudi Arabia was waiting for him, but the President wanted to smoke a couple of cigarettes first.
It was 11:30 in the morning on Valentine’s Day, 1945. World War II was nearing its end, and Roosevelt had just come from the famous Yalta Conference with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin to discuss what post-war Europe would look like.
But on the way back home, Roosevelt went out of his way to meet with the Saudis. Legendary amounts of oil had been discovered in the Arabian desert a few years before and knew that such vast energy reserves would be strategically important to the United States after the war.
The problem was that Roosevelt was on death’s door at that point. His doctors had urged him not to go, but the President overruled them, sensing that the trip would solidify American interests.
He was right-- it was a critically important trip. But the doctors were right too-- it was obvious the trip had taken its toll, and a senior aide described FDR as “helpless in fatigue”.
The quick smoke break on his way to the lunch meeting was Roosevelt’s quick moment to relax, gather his wits, and put his game face on before taking on King Abdulaziz.
Apparently, the cigarettes did the trick, because Roosevelt was able to summon enough strength to build great rapport with the King.
As US Marine Colonel William Eddy (who was present at the meeting) later described, “the King and the President got along famously together” and became fast friends.
Roosevelt and Abdulaziz discovered they were the same age, both deeply interested in agriculture, and even shared similar physical handicaps.
In fact, Roosevelt gave one of his own wheelchairs to the King as a goodwill gesture, which Abdulaziz later recalled was “my most precious possession [from] my great and good friend President Roosevelt.”

Roosevelt died less than two months later. But he had planted the seeds of a relationship with Saudi Arabia that soon became very important… and eventually critical to the United States.
In the 1940s and 1950s, the US economy grew leaps and bounds and had an insatiable appetite for energy; Saudi oil played a key role in fueling that growth, and both nations prospered from the relationship.
Their amity was put to the test in the 1970s when the US dollar was taken off the gold standard. World leaders revolted, and the dollar’s standing as the global reserve currency could have ended very quickly.
But Saudi Arabia stuck with the dollar. And in 1974, the two countries inked a new economic cooperation deal: the US would provide security and technology, and the Saudis agreed to maintain their currency peg to the dollar… which ultimately meant that oil would still be sold exclusively in US dollars.
If the Saudis had gone the other way and abandoned the dollar, America could have lost its global financial dominance by the end of the 1970s.
Instead, Saudi Arabia’s commitment encouraged (and realistically forced) the rest of the world to continue to hold US dollars, even if just for the sole purpose of buying oil from OPEC.
As a result, the US dollar has remained the global reserve currency through this day-- which is the ONLY reason why America can have a $36+ trillion national debt or run multi-trillion-dollar deficits each year… and yet the world keeps buying US government bonds.
Saudi Arabia could now be poised for another big decision that will have a major impact on America’s future dominance.
But first-- as of today, it appears that the Trump administration may be climbing down from hard-nosed positions they had adopted as recently as Monday.
Suddenly now the President doesn’t want to fire Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Suddenly the gazillion percent tariffs on China are “too high”. Suddenly Elon thinks that he is spending too much time at DOGE.
Granted, all of this could change by the time I finish writing this article. Such are the times in which we live. However, it seems that the administration is feeling the pressure from the bond market rout, the stock market rout, the currency market rout.
It’s all very Truss-ian, i.e. reminiscent of 2022 when then-British PM Liz Truss had to resign after domestic financial markets crashed and investors vomited all over her economic plan.
Obviously, the guys in the US aren’t going to resign. But it appears that they’re capitulating to investors’ demands: “Go back to the way things were in March… keep hitting the woke universities, keep policing the border, keep doing all the other stuff. Just leave trade alone.”
So, is the economic war already over? Who knows. But even if they really are backing down, it remains to be seen if the rest of the world will simply forget about the past month and move on.
How much trust and confidence will other nations continue to have in the dollar, and in the United States? Already, over the past several years, there has been serious effort from the Usual Suspects (i.e. Russia, China, Iran, etc.) to de-dollarize.
Some of their efforts have been laughable. Others have made great progress.
And Saudi Arabia may once again be the key swing vote.
Saudi’s Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), knows his kingdom’s oil will eventually run out, and he’s desperately seeking to build a real economy to replace it.
On one hand, Saudi Arabia has a longstanding relationship with the US-- though one that has clearly soured over the years. On the other hand, he has the Chinese offering all sorts of cash and prizes.
China knows that the petrodollar, i.e. selling oil in US dollars, is a key driver for global US dollar demand… which props up the US government and supports America’s gargantuan national debt.
Chipping away at that dollar demand will really hurt the United States. China wants this to happen. And they’ve been pushing Saudi Arabia to start selling oil in Chinese yuan, i.e. petroyuan.
Bottom line, MBS is going to have to make a decision about whether partnership with China or the US is better for his kingdom over the next several decades.
If he sticks with the US and rejects Chinese overtures, it will go a long way in keeping other countries in line, eliminating doubts about America, and maintaining the dollar as the reserve currency-- for now.
On the other hand, if he decides that China is the better option and starts selling oil in yuan, it could be crippling for the US economy.
Foreigners holding trillions of US dollar assets would no longer need to maintain such vast dollar reserves. The dollar would plummet as a result, US government bond yields would skyrocket, and inflation would surge.
Saudi Arabia is holding a lot of cards right now regarding the fate of the dollar… which is a key reason why Donald Trump himself is heading there in a few weeks.
Make no mistake-- this is a monumental story in the making.

Gold Is Being Remonetized – Why $10K Gold & $50 Silver Are Now in Sight | Florian Grummes
Kitco News: 4-24-2025
Gold is pulling back from record highs above $3,500/oz — but is this just a pause before the next surge?
Silver is up over 3% in a single day, and some analysts say it's finally “waking up.” Azerbaijan’s State Oil Fund just added nearly 19 tonnes of gold in Q1, signaling fresh sovereign accumulation.
Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says there's “an opportunity for a big deal” with China on trade. Could this reshape global capital flows — and set the stage for silver to explode?

Ariel: 34 Countries Meeting with Trump
4-23-2025
34 countries meeting with Donald Trump.
A New Deal
Fair Trade
Currency Parity
Equal Value
~ Monetary Revaluation
The trade summit between Donald Trump and 34 nations is profoundly significant for humanity, as it holds the potential to liberate global populations from the Deepstate’s oppressive grip, fostering a new era of economic and political sovereignty.
By challenging the entrenched systems of currency manipulation, unfair trade practices, and centralized control, these negotiations could empower nations to prioritize their citizens’ welfare over elite interests, reducing economic exploitation and fostering self-sufficiency.
The potential exposure of covert intelligence operations, secret society networks, and manipulative agendas in energy, technology, climate, and pharmaceuticals could awaken humanity to the hidden forces shaping their lives, sparking demands for transparency and accountability.
This shift threatens to dismantle the unipolar order, replacing it with a multipolar world where nations and individuals reclaim agency, free from the Deepstate’s financial, technological, and narrative stranglehold.
Ultimately, this could pave the way for a fairer, more equitable global system, where humanity’s potential is no longer shackled by orchestrated dependency and deception.

Henig IMO Vietnam wants trade with the US immensely, and is willing to be quite flexible to maintain that relationship. Remember that the number one thing that Trump seeks is fairness in the market--and top of the list of enabling factors is a fair exchange rate, with no exchange rate manipulation.
Militia Man Article: "What are the real reasons behind the delay in sending budget tables?" So, the cat is finally out of the bag. They are now saying what we could see...Article 12 of the 2023-2024 Budget is being withheld publicly. It is clearly exchange rate related! What they are saying is now in print that the street knows what we know and this is supporting our view...
Frank26 Article: "Baghdad prepares to receive a Kurdistan delegation...a decisive round to turn the page on disputes" The only dispute is that we don't have a new exchange rate. IMO that's what this conversation is going to be about. It's not about the oil. It's not about flowing the oil. The oil is not about the HCL. It's not about Article 140. It's about a new exchange rate IMO.

Bessent Slams IMF - But Real Warning Was About the Dollar
Taylor Kenny: 4-24-2025
U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent publicly challenged the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, accusing them of "mission creep" and calling for a rebalancing of the international financial system.
While the headlines may focus on global policy debates, the deeper message is clear: the dollar system, as we know it, is breaking
As Taylor Kenney explains, the system that holds your savings, retirement, and financial future is undergoing a fundamental transformation—and it's time to prepare.
Gold Hit $3,500 — Then Something Strange Happened
Goldcore TV: 4-24-2025
Gold’s recent surge to $3,500 wasn’t just a price event — it was a warning shot.
A sudden, sharp revaluation not just of gold, but of everything investors thought they understood about the system.
While the media called it a rally, #centralbanks were quietly doing something else: doubling down. Not on yield. Not on growth. But on sovereignty. On protection. On something real, in a financial system increasingly built on hope and hashtags.
This GoldCoreTV episode breaks down what really happened at $3,500 — and why it wasn’t the end of the bull market, but the beginning of something deeper.
We explore: Why gold’s spike wasn’t about inflation — but about institutional panic
How central banks are quietly rebelling, buying over 1,000 tonnes a year
Why #silver’s silence is actually a signal, not a failure
What the gold-silver ratio is telling us about timing and opportunity
Why “buying the dip” isn’t a strategy for central banks — and shouldn’t be for you
This isn’t about timing a trade. It’s about understanding the message behind the move.
Because when trust evaporates, gold doesn’t rise in a frenzy — it rises in silence.

▪️Other firms like ProShares filed for three XRP futures ETFs with the U.S.SEC.
Global leading derivatives marketplace CME Group has confirmed adding XRP futures to its list of cryptocurrency derivatives products.
The launch is planned for May 19, pending the green light from regulators. This recent development is part of the firm’s continued effort to meet growing demand from investors looking for alternatives in the digital asset market.
Details on the New XRP Futures Contracts
According to CME Group, the XRP futures will be available in two contract sizes. As detailed, one will cover 2,500 XRP while the other will be much larger, representing 50,000 XRP.
It is worth mentioning that both contracts will be cash-settled. Pricing will be based on the CME CF XRP-Dollar reference rate, a daily benchmark calculated at 4:00 p.m. London time.
This rate reflects the value of XRP in U.S. dollars and is used to provide a consistent and fair settlement process. This addition will expand CME Group’s existing digital asset offerings.
The CME Group exchange currently provides futures and options for the most prominent cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum. It also expanded its crypto offerings with the launch of Solana (SOL) futures. With XRP now added to the lineup, CME is ready to provide traders with a broader range of tools to manage their exposure to digital assets.
Since entering the digital asset ecosystem, the exchange has recorded a consistent increase in interest in its crypto products. In the first quarter of 2025, the average daily volume for crypto futures was 198,000 contracts. This represents a notional value of $11.3 billion, showing strong year-over-year growth.
Open interest also grew to an average of 251,000 contracts, equal to $21.8 billion in notional value. SOL futures, which began trading in mid-March, recorded more than 43,000 contracts traded, with a total notional value of $705 million.
Rising Demand for Regulated XRP Offerings
CME Group’s decision to offer XRP futures reveals the increasing role of regulated financial instruments in digital asset trading. Based on market sentiment, as more investors seek alternatives for BTC and ETH, exchanges respond by introducing products linked to other tokens.
XRP, the cryptocurrency associated with Ripple Labs, has gained attention for its practical use in financial transactions. Its speed and low cost have made it popular among everyday users and institutional investors.
With XRP’s inclusion, CME Group is widening access to futures trading in an evolving space. This also signals that traditional financial institutions are paying closer attention to how digital assets can fit into mainstream portfolios.
In addition to CME Group’s announcement of launching XRP futures, the digital asset has made headlines lately following the conclusion of the Ripple vs. SEC case. The settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has arguably renewed confidence in XRP’s position, paving the way for increased institutional interest.
Coinspeaker noted earlier that ProShares has joined the race for the XRP ETF. In a recent SEC filing, the firm revealed plans to launch three XRP futures-based ETFs. This move signals growing competition and a more competitive investment appetite in the XRP space.

BRICS: CHINA OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES PLAN TO PROMOTE ITS OWN PAYMENT SYSTEM
BRICS member China officially rolled out a plan to promote its own payment system to replace SWIFT. The Communist country aims to reduce US dollar dependency to confront Washington’s aggressive stance on trade and tariffs. The new plan was jointly released by the Shanghai municipal government and the People’s Bank of China, the country’s central bank.
The new payment system from BRICS member China will incorporate the Chinese yuan through the Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS). China wants to leverage its dominance in the manufacturing and trade sector and push the Chinese yuan for settlements.
BRICS: China Will Take on SWIFT Through CIPS Payment System
The BRICS country China revealed that it will “enhance the functionality” of CIPS and challenge the Western-dominated SWIFT payment system. “Promote the use of the renminbi in belt and road partner countries, and build a trade and investment service system based in Shanghai to facilitate the global circulation and use of the renminbi,” the plan stated.
The plan also states that the Xi Jinping administration will strengthen financial support to Chinese enterprises “going global”. “Enabling all types of market players to engage in international competition and cooperation in a safer, more convenient and efficient manner,” read the report.
China will also allow other BRICS members to settle cross-border transactions without the US dollar in the new payment system. Beijing is looking to internationalize the Chinese yuan and make it a common currency for trade among developing nations.
Settling cross-border transactions in the new payment system will not only strengthen the Chinese economy but also uplift the BRICS alliance. The development could cause harm to the US dollar as more countries will stop using it as a form of payment for trade.

Stocks, Bonds, and the US Dollar are all Breaking
Stocks, Bonds, and the US Dollar are all Breaking
Wealthion: 4-24-2025
The financial markets may be teetering on the edge of a major repricing event, according to Jesse Felder, founder of The Felder Report.
In a recent interview with James Connor on Wealthion, Felder issued a stark warning: stocks, bonds, and the U.S. dollar are all dangerously mispriced, potentially setting the stage for significant upheaval.
Felder argues that despite persistent recession signals, the S&P 500 remains dangerously overvalued. He highlights the concerning trend of retail investors driving a leverage-fueled bubble, while corporate insiders are simultaneously cashing out their holdings – a classic sign of market irrationality.

Wealthion: 4-24-2025
The financial markets may be teetering on the edge of a major repricing event, according to Jesse Felder, founder of The Felder Report.
In a recent interview with James Connor on Wealthion, Felder issued a stark warning: stocks, bonds, and the U.S. dollar are all dangerously mispriced, potentially setting the stage for significant upheaval.
Felder argues that despite persistent recession signals, the S&P 500 remains dangerously overvalued. He highlights the concerning trend of retail investors driving a leverage-fueled bubble, while corporate insiders are simultaneously cashing out their holdings – a classic sign of market irrationality.
The narrative surrounding the tech sector, often seen as a haven in uncertain times, is also showing cracks. Felder points out that optimism is waning, evidenced by AI giants freezing capital expenditure spending, suggesting a potential slowdown in the very sector driving market enthusiasm.
The bond market, traditionally seen as a safe haven, is facing its own unique challenges. According to Felder, surging deficits and persistent inflation could trigger a “vigilante revolt,” as investors lose confidence in the government’s ability to manage its debt. This could lead to a sharp increase in bond yields, further destabilizing the financial landscape.
Adding to the complexity, Felder believes the Federal Reserve may soon find itself in a policy trap. Facing political pressure, the Fed might be forced to monetize debt, potentially exacerbating inflationary pressures and undermining the dollar’s credibility.
Finally, Felder suggests that the U.S. dollar may have entered a long-term bear market, marking a significant shift in the global macroeconomic landscape. This weakening of the dollar could have far-reaching consequences, impacting everything from international trade to investment flows.
Jonathan Wellum, CEO of Rocklinc, weighed in on Felder’s analysis, revealing his firm’s cautious stance. Acknowledging the potential for market volatility, Wellum disclosed that Rocklinc is currently holding a substantial 28% cash position. This strategic move reflects a defensive posture, allowing the firm to capitalize on potential opportunities that may arise during a market correction.
Despite the overall bearish outlook, Wellum emphasized that opportunities still exist in today’s volatile markets. He pointed to specific areas where value can be found, though he didn’t explicitly detail them in the excerpt.
Felder’s warning and Wellum’s cautious approach underscore the importance of vigilance in the current market environment. While predicting the future is impossible, the confluence of overvalued assets, unsustainable debt levels, and potential policy missteps suggests that the risk of a major repricing event is elevated.
Investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance, diversify their portfolios, and be prepared for potential volatility ahead.
Whether a full-blown “reset” is imminent remains to be seen, but the warning signs are certainly worth heeding.

THE BLACK SWAN HAS LANDED: Black Swan events are lightning strikes in history—rare, explosive, and only obvious in hindsight. Today’s Black Swan is nothing less than the ignition of NESARA and GESARA, the global reset that resets the rules of money, power, and control.
PHASE TWO: THE DAWN OF A NEW FINANCIAL WORLD: Protocol 19 has triggered the shift. The world’s financial system is being dismantled and rebuilt in real time. The old guard is done.
The Swift system collapses into the Quantum Financial System—a new realm of transparent, secure transactions.
Bitcoin’s dominance fades as asset-backed currencies rise—stable, regulated, and grounded in real value.
The media monopoly falls as Starlink and the Odin Project decentralize global communications.
The dollar and euro step aside as gold reclaims its throne as the foundation of global wealth.
~~~~~~~~~~~
NESARA: THE RESET BEGINS: NESARA, the National Economic Security and Recovery Act, delivers what the world has demanded for decades—a reset for the people:
All personal debts—gone. Credit cards, mortgages, loans wiped clean.
The IRS abolished. Income tax erased. A new flat sales tax replaces the corrupt system.
Seniors’ benefits increase, offering dignity to those who built the nation.
Constitutional law returns to the courts, restoring justice.
This is the foundation of a new America, unshackled from the banking elite.
GESARA: THE GLOBAL VISION: GESARA takes NESARA worldwide, reshaping every corner of the earth:
Citizenship revoked for globalist operatives—barred from reentry for life.
New elections globally. Emergency powers dismantled. Democracy restored.
A new Rainbow Currency, backed by precious metals, ends the era of fiat manipulation.
This is not reform—it’s global liberation.
THE HIDDEN TRUTHS EXPOSED: NESARA/GESARA aren’t just economic shifts—they unlock the hidden history:
Birth certificates, once sold as collateral, returned to the people.
The Federal Reserve dismantled. The Treasury takes control of the nation’s money.
Over 6,000 suppressed technologies—free energy, antigravity, healing machines—released to the world.
A NEW WORLD AWAITS: Financial privacy restored. Constitutional justice enforced. Global military aggression ceases. Massive humanitarian funds released. A technological renaissance begins.
The Black Swan has struck. NESARA and GESARA are no longer a theory—they are the mechanism that will shatter the old world and build the new. Trump’s Phase Two is in motion. The reset has begun.

Remember the WTO did already tell us Iraq has met all the requirements. They told us this over a year ago. Does Iraq need a globally traded currency for “full accession”?
Militia Man Article: "The central bank's approach to banking reform and development contributes to accelerating Iraq's accession to the World Trade Organization." Iraq hasn't had full accession yet. And we always believe they won't have it quite yet until they are fully international. But the point is Iraq showing they are ready to go with what they have been doing. The news is really exciting because it supports all of that.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
US STABLECOIN PLANS IGNITE EU REGULATORY DISPUTE
U.S. endorsement of cryptocurrencies and promotion of dollar-based stablecoins has reportedly sparked tensions between the European Commission and the European Central Bank.
ECB Dollar-Based Stablecoin Concerns Overblown
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
US STABLECOIN PLANS IGNITE EU REGULATORY DISPUTE
U.S. endorsement of cryptocurrencies and promotion of dollar-based stablecoins has reportedly sparked tensions between the European Commission and the European Central Bank.
ECB Dollar-Based Stablecoin Concerns Overblown
U.S. President Donald Trump’s endorsement of cryptocurrencies is reportedly causing a tiff between the European Commission (EC) and the European Central Bank (ECB), which sees this embrace endangering Europe’s financial system. According to a Politico report citing an ECB policy paper, the central bank’s demand for the rewrite of laws governing cryptocurrencies is at odds with the EC, which views the former’s concerns as alarmist.
As stated in the report, the commission believes the Frankfurt-based ECB’s demands are an affront and challenge to its lawmaking authority. The reported spat between the two bodies comes as some in the European Union continue to voice concern over the growth of cryptocurrencies and dollar-based stablecoins.
For instance, the Italian economy minister recently warned that dollar-based stablecoins pose an even greater threat to the euro than the ongoing trade war. In the past, the European Union (EU) said it would prioritize promoting the digital euro, the continent’s answer to dollar-based stablecoins.
However, planned U.S. reforms, including a White House executive order and the STABLE and GENIUS acts, are expected to significantly expand the American stablecoin industry, potentially reaching a $2 trillion supply by 2028, according to British bank Standard and Chartered. This projected growth has triggered warnings from ECB President Christine Lagarde and digital payments head Piero Cipollone.
MiCA Rules Cannot Withstand Dollar Stablecoins
According to the report, both Lagarde and Cipollone believe Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) rules are not strong enough to withstand dollar-based stablecoins. They fear that an avalanche of dollar-based stablecoins could end up rerouting European savings into the U.S. The ECB officials’ dim view of MiCA, however, is not shared by EC officials, who reportedly made their feelings known at a recent meeting.
An anonymous diplomat who attended the meeting is quoted in the report explaining how EC officials rebuffed claims made by Lagarde and Cipollone.
“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 said.
The official suggested that the European Central Bank (ECB) is amplifying concerns about stablecoins to gain political backing for its digital euro project. The initiative aims to create a pan-European payment system to protect Europe’s financial infrastructure from crypto assets.
However, the EC has defended the effectiveness of MiCA rules and insisted that it’s too early to assess the impact of the U.S. crypto resurgence on EU markets.

NEW AI AGENT LAUNCHES ON MAY 10: GROK AI BASED CRYPTO AGENT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING
A new AI agent—powered by Grok AI—is set to launch on May 10, and it could change everything for retail traders during this crypto bull run.
In major news, MIND of Pepe launches its AI agent on 10 May. Much more than just a trading bot, $MIND is an autonomous intelligent actor that ingests and analyzes all types of market data in real time.
As such, it is also much more than just a meme coin. MIND of Pepe threatens to do for crypto what ChatGPT and Grok are doing for research and content generation – opening up a whole new world of invention. $MIND is a brain that not only analyzes but also acts. It can start trends as well as respond to them. It can even create brand new tokens.
Two of crypto’s dominant narratives in 2025 are still charging forward: meme coins and artificial intelligence. These narratives echo the explosive energy that fueled last year’s bull run. The launch of the MIND of Pepe AI agent marks the next stage of truly usable and useful AI for crypto market participants and users.
Now, as Q2 kicks off and the market regains its momentum, one question is on everyone’s mind: Can these trends continue to lead the charge?
There’s good reason to believe so. Meme coins remain one of the most accessible entry points into crypto, deeply rooted in internet culture, powered by viral energy, and driven by loyal communities. Meanwhile, AI is only just beginning to show its full potential, with new use cases emerging rapidly as the technology evolves.
And now, these two trends collide in one of the most talked-about projects of the year: MIND of Pepe ($MIND) – a crypto AI agent that gives the internet’s most iconic meme a neural upgrade.
The result? A meme coin with a brain – engineered to help investors identify opportunities, whether the market is pumping, dipping, or moving sideways.
Right now, $MIND is priced at $0.0037315 in its ongoing presale, but that price will rise in less than two days as the next tier kicks in.
CoinGecko Analysis Suggests Meme Coins and AI Will Still Dominate 2025
CoinGecko’s Q1 2025 report confirms what the market’s already feeling – AI tokens and meme coins continue to dominate investor interest, accounting for a combined 62.8% of all attention.
AI tokens now lead the charge with 35.7%, surpassing meme coins at 27.1%.
In 2024, meme coins ruled the first two quarters, cooled off in Q3, and peaked again in December with renewed retail participation. AI tokens, while active, played a secondary role.
But this year’s different. To lead the narrative again, it’ll take more than recycled hype. Investors are now looking for substance behind the memes – and real-world utility behind the AI. The project needs to offer tools, tech, and tangible value.
.For instance, tokens like Artificial Superintelligence Alliance ($FET) and Ocean Protocol ($OCEAN) – both critical to AI agent infrastructure – have been gaining serious traction, rising more than 32% and 28.4%, respectively, over the past week
In that same vein, MIND of Pepe is quickly capturing attention, not just riding the AI narrative, but helping redefine what it means in the crypto space.
MIND of Pepe Is The Ultimate Meme Coin Fusion With AI
In a market still driven by meme energy and AI utility, MIND of Pepe is emerging as the fusion point – a Pepe-themed, AI-powered token that doesn’t just react to trends but hunts them down and turns them into profit potential for $MIND holders.
Built on Ethereum, MIND of Pepe functions as an autonomous AI agent. It scans X (formerly Twitter), tracks crypto sentiment, and identifies early-stage opportunities before they go mainstream.
Holders can access these insights through a sleek, ChatGPT-style dashboard – trained specifically on crypto-native data – that answers questions, analyzes market conditions, and broadcasts real-time trade ideas.
But this AI doesn’t just listen. It acts. MIND of Pepe can interact with influencers and creators to amplify hype around trades it flags – and when the market’s quiet, it can dig even deeper.
With on-chain access and its wallet, the agent can interact directly with dApps and create new tokens based on trend signals it detects, pushing the boundaries of what meme coins and AI agents can do.
It’s a next-level leap – and the momentum shows. The project has already raised over $8.2 million, making it one of the fastest-moving presales of the year.

Việt Nam attaches great importance to developing its Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with the US, and wishes to promote economic and trade relations in a balanced, stable, sustainable, and effective manner.
HÀ NỘI — Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyễn Hồng Diên, head of the Vietnamese government trade negotiation delegation, on Wednesday evening held a phone call with United States Trade Representative Jamieson L. Greer to officially launch talks on bilateral economic and trade issues between Việt Nam and the US.
This was an important working session to discuss the principles, scope, and roadmap for negotiations. Attending the call were members of the Government negotiation delegation and technical-level representatives from relevant ministries and agencies.
During the call, Minister Diên affirmed that Việt Nam attaches great importance to developing its Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with the US, and wishes to promote economic and trade relations in a balanced, stable, sustainable, and effective manner.
He emphasised that Vietnamese ministries and agencies are ready to negotiate and address US concerns, and to work with the US to find mutually beneficial solutions based on the spirit of harmonised interests and shared risks. For his part, US Trade Representative Jamieson L. Greer highly appreciated the two countries’ agreement to negotiate a bilateral trade agreement. He expressed confidence that the two sides would soon reach appropriate solutions to foster stable and mutually beneficial economic and trade relations.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the two Heads of Delegation also agreed to maintain regular communication at both the head-of-delegation and technical levels to expedite negotiations on specific issues. Việt Nam was among the countries hit with the highest rate of 'reciprocal tariffs' as announced by US President Donald Trump in early April, at 46 per cent.
During a phone call taking place shortly afterwards, General Secretary Tô Lâm, Việt Nam's top leader, has told President Trump that Việt Nam can slash all tariffs against American goods into Việt Nam to zero per cent, while seeking for the US to do the same for Vietnamese goods. — VNS LINK

Henig: Việt Nam will safeguard core interests while deepening US trade ties: PM
April 23, 2025 - 08:11
PM Chính reaffirmed that Vietnamese goods do not pose unfair competition to US industries, noting that bilateral trade has long been mutually beneficial, particularly for American consumers.
Việt Nam, he added, remains willing to negotiate on issues raised by the US, so long as its core interests are protected and its foreign policy principles upheld.
HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính has urged ministries and local authorities to work in close coordination to swiftly address key concerns raised by the United States, as Việt Nam continues to pursue fair and sustainable trade relations, amid shifting global dynamics.
Chairing a Government meeting yesterday, the PM said the current challenges in global trade also present opportunities for Việt Nam to restructure its export base, diversify markets and supply chains, and boost product quality. He emphasised the need for a strategic shift towards high-tech, green and knowledge-based economic development, driven by digital transformation. Institutional reform, he noted, must go hand in hand with growth.
PM Chính directed ministries to tighten oversight in key areas such as origin traceability, anti-smuggling, commercial fraud prevention and the fight against counterfeit goods. He also called for a comprehensive review of tax refund mechanisms and demanded a reduction in administrative procedures, costs and processing times, aligned with Government resolution.
To further support investment attraction, he ordered the immediate establishment of a national one-stop investment portal and investment promotion centres, at both national and provincial levels. These efforts aim to draw in high-quality, long-term investors, especially in technology and innovation. Such investors, the PM said, should not only bring capital, but also transfer technology, train human resources, invest in research and development and support Vietnamese enterprises in joining global supply and production chains.
This was the fifth high-level meeting chaired by PM Chính, to implement the Politburo’s and Party General Secretary Tô Lâm’s conclusions on adapting to the US’s evolving tariff policies and promoting deeper trade ties.
Following reports and discussions, the PM acknowledged Việt Nam’s timely and flexible response to the US’s tariff adjustments, first introduced under President Donald Trump. He said the country’s calm, strategic approach has produced tangible results and earned a positive response from Washington.
Within the framework of the Việt Nam–US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, General Secretary Lâm held a phone call with President Trump and dispatched Deputy Prime Minister Hồ Đức Phớc and the Minister of Industry and Trade, as special envoys to engage US officials. Vietnamese leaders have also met with the US Ambassador, lawmakers, academics and business leaders to enhance mutual understanding.
Việt Nam has issued decrees to reduce certain tariffs on US imports, addressed long-standing issues in US-invested projects and taken steps to rebalance trade, such as increasing purchases of American-made aircraft, while staying within the bounds of Vietnamese law and bilateral agreements.
PM Chính reaffirmed that Vietnamese goods do not pose unfair competition to US industries, noting that bilateral trade has long been mutually beneficial, particularly for American consumers. Việt Nam, he added, remains willing to negotiate on issues raised by the US, so long as its core interests are protected and its foreign policy principles upheld. He tasked ministries and the negotiating team with thoroughly preparing for upcoming talks, ensuring alignment with the guidance of the Politburo, the General Secretary and the Government.
He warned against introducing complications that could affect other markets or disrupt Việt Nam’s existing international commitments. The PM said that trade relations should be handled with calm, clarity and conviction. He underscored the importance of prioritising dialogue over confrontation, maintaining mutual respect and pursuing harmonised interests that serve the long-term benefit of both countries, particularly their businesses and consumers.
He urged a focus on diversifying export markets, product lines and supply chains, improving product quality and cost efficiency and moving towards a high-tech, green, circular and knowledge-based growth model grounded in science, technology and digital transformation. — VNS LINK

Henig: Party leader receives Rosen Partners CEO
April 24, 2025 - 00:32
Rosen Partners informed General Secretary Tô Lâm on their investment plans, notably a project to build a world-class amusement park in Việt Nam, and committed to promoting cooperation in science and technology, artificial intelligence (AI)
HÀ NỘI — Party General Secretary Tô Lâm gave a reception in Hà Nội on Wednesday for Daniel Rosen, CEO of Rosen Partners – a privately held, industry-leading investment firm in the US.
Welcoming Rosen's return to Việt Nam on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the two countries’ diplomatic relations and the second year of the Việt Nam-US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, Lam expressed his pleasure at the strong developments in bilateral relations in recent times.
He reaffirmed that Việt Nam values the development of its relationship with the US and hopes the two sides will continue to deepen, enhance, and stabilise their cooperation in all fields, particularly in the areas of economy, trade, and investment, for the benefit of the people and businesses of both countries.
Assessing that Việt Nam and the US are two economies with complementary advantages, the Party chief said Việt Nam has an abundant workforce with a strong desire to contribute to and strive for progress, and rich natural resources, and places great emphasis on capital, technology, and high-tech products from the US. Rosen shared his impressions of witnessing the talent, entrepreneurial spirit, and the remarkable changes in Việt Nam, which, he said, have created favourable conditions and opened up more investment and business opportunities for US companies in the country.
He provided information about his company’s investment plans, notably a project to build a world-class amusement park in Việt Nam, and committed to promoting cooperation in science and technology, artificial intelligence (AI), as well as connecting Vietnamese scientists with their US and international counterparts, and building specific collaborative projects in areas such as science and technology, AI, and smart governance.
Welcoming Rosen Partners' interest in investing in Việt Nam, General Secretary Lâm affirmed that the country is working to streamline its organisational apparatus and reorganise its administrative boundaries to expand space and facilitate development, in line with the country's goals for 2030 and 2045.
Việt Nam encourages investment in the development of culture, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges, and welcomes cooperation with other countries, including the US, in the field of science and technology, he said, urging the group to promote cooperation and invest in areas where the US has strengths and Việt Nam has needs, including high-quality agriculture, and human resources development and training.
Rosen reaffirmed his commitment to making efforts to implement investment projects in Việt Nam, contributing to the development of Việt Nam and the Việt Nam-US relationship. — VNA/VNS LINK
US GB Bankers Rule The World
US GB Bankers Rule The World
The Final Wake Up Call By Peter B Meyer
Not one penny of tax pays for any service or programme
Put simply, bankers control the government in almost every country. This has been the case since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, and in Europe for centuries before that.
Their grip was further tightened when the gold standard was abandoned in 1971. For the most part, the public believes that governments get their money from the taxes they collect from their citizens. This money, it is believed, pays for all the services and programmes needed to keep a country running. But this is not the case. Instead, not a single penny paid by the people to the government actually pays for any service or programme.
US GB Bankers Rule The World
The Final Wake Up Call By Peter B Meyer
Not one penny of tax pays for any service or programme
Put simply, bankers control the government in almost every country. This has been the case since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, and in Europe for centuries before that.
Their grip was further tightened when the gold standard was abandoned in 1971. For the most part, the public believes that governments get their money from the taxes they collect from their citizens. This money, it is believed, pays for all the services and programmes needed to keep a country running. But this is not the case. Instead, not a single penny paid by the people to the government actually pays for any service or programme.
The money collected from the people goes directly to privately owned central banks.
This is how central banks actually work; the central bank lends money to the government and buys the government’s debt. But the banks do not really have the money they lend, so when they need it they just print more.
The money they print is worth nothing because it is not backed by anything.
In the past, the US dollar was backed by the so-called “gold standard” and that determined the value of the currency.
The business model of the central banksters is control. They put governments into debt to control them by creating fake currency and lending it to the government, which then has to listen to what the banksters say. Otherwise they go after the real assets and that is why governments and the population are massively indebted.
The central banks don’t want to give up this control mechanism, they insist on maintaining their debt-based control system.
The whole economic system has collapsed since 2008. The banks created an illusion to make everyone believe that the economy had recovered, but as is now known and seen by many, it did not.
The same central banks are preparing to bring the economy down, but first they need someone to blame. However, they have started to announce that it could happen as early as this year.
Designed for tampering
Pre-programmed for manipulation and deception The average citizen has been programmed to trust the government. It starts with their primary school civics books and continues through college courses in ‘political science’, where young people are pre-programmed to be susceptible to manipulation and deception.
Sure, everyone knows that governments make mistakes and are occasionally inept. But the average person actually believes that government is their friend.
That’s why they’re perfectly willing to give up privacy for convenience. They think their interests are in the hands of competent, well-meaning and well-meaning people. But that’s not the case at all.
The government is an entity with its own interests. It’s like a parasite or a predator that feeds on society as a whole. This trend is likely to continue until there’s a crisis.
Dysfunctional Banks
The present banking system is very dysfunctional. It’s politicised and distorted, while today’s ‘too big to fail’ institutions are already effectively twisted arms of the state.
These are horrendous practices. They are made possible by paying mega-millions to management and socialising the losses.
The Central Bank Became Everyone’s Bank
Banks have historically provided two financial services: the storage and the intermediation of money. Money was a commodity, not just an accounting fiction. It was a floating abstraction.
This distinction has already been lost with current accounts that pay interest and fractional reserve policies that create currency out of thin air. But people would really be living in dreamland if the central bank really did become everyone’s bank. Right now, the central bank has total control over interest rates and all lending policies, without any competition.
A Double Transformation
To deal with the mounting debt and the printing of money to pay for dozens of new social programmes, President Franklin D. Roosevelt made two extraordinary changes to the financial system in 1933.
First, he closed the banks for four days and forced Americans to turn in and exchange every ounce of gold they owned for $20.67 in paper money.
Then the government raised the price of gold, wiping out 69% of the savings of anyone who played by the rules.
But that was just the beginning. Roosevelt also removed the ‘gold clause’ from all contracts, including loans, bonds and other financial instruments. At the time, people were worried that the government might inflate away the value of their money. So they added a gold clause, which said that repayments could be required to be made in gold.
These gold clauses were included in government loans, bank deposits, insurance policies and other private contracts.
When Roosevelt outlawed the gold clause, he stole billions from investors. In fact, a Harvard paper estimates that this rule took $700 million a year in 1933 dollars from private investors who bought government bonds.
Billions more were stolen from people who lost money in private contracts, bank accounts and insurance policies when the gold clause was removed.
The removal of the gold clause was so controversial that investors sued the government. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court. Roosevelt was terrified that his Debt Jubilee would be overturned. He even wrote a speech saying he would ignore the court if it ruled against him.
In the end, his political pressure worked, and the court ruled 5-4 in Roosevelt’s favour. There were consequences, of course: tens of millions of people lost massive amounts of their savings. And after a boom, the stock market soon fell by 50% in a single year. Investor confidence was shattered.
A great financial crisis was brewing. The government and individuals had borrowed exorbitant amounts of money, and many were struggling to repay their creditors because every dollar at the time had to be backed by $0.25 of gold. So the government couldn’t print unlimited amounts of money out of thin air.
Foreign creditors who held US government bonds were allowed to take repayment in gold bullion rather than dollars, so gold reserves rapidly disappeared. From 1958 to 1968, 52% of America’s gold reserves left the country in the form of repayments on US debt.
The government was terrified. They knew there was only one way out: another debt jubilee. First, they eliminated the 25% gold backing of every dollar. Then, in 1971, President Richard Nixon completely reneged on the US promise to pay foreign creditors gold for their dollars.
It was the Federal Reserve that created the post-1971 fake dollar when Nixon cut the dollar’s last link to gold. And it was this fake dollar that turned America from the world’s largest creditor to the world’s largest debtor; and from the world’s largest trade surplus to the world’s largest trade deficit.
This reversal destroyed breadwinner jobs, leaving the baby boomer generation with declining real incomes, part-time jobs and no surpluses to save.
Finally, it was the Fed with its ultra-low, below-inflation interest rates that made saving money uncool, unprofitable and unnecessary.
The question is: how will larger deficits reduce the national debt?
How will spending real resources on phony wars make people safer or better off?
Clearly this will end in chaos if nothing is done to stop it.
The central banks have kept the system going longer in order to bring the world into the one world government. For the same reason, all countries must be equally brought down to the lowest standard of living in order to create a level playing field for integration into the New World Order system.
Fortunately, the cabal’s obscure plans were interrupted by the election of Trump. Their plans began to fall apart when Hillary was not elected.
Fake Evidence
People should be wary of fabricated “evidence” of any kind, even more so after what is seen in recent decades.
A case in point is the monstrous lies and massive distortions that accompanied the reckless claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

Gold Continues To Diverge From Silver & Trade On Monetary Premium
Arcadia Economics: 4-23-2025
We're in the midst of one of the more fascinating days in gold and silver market history. As the gold futures are down $120, while silver is actually up 60 cents along with the stock markets.
I'm not sure we've ever seen a divergence that extreme between the two metals before, and in today's show, Lynette Zang talks about how we're seeing gold trade at a monetary premium right now.
Gold’s Surge is Unsettling as Trump Shocks System
Liberty and Finance: 4-22-2025
In a recent discussion with Liberty and Finance, the anonymous financial analysts known as Doomberg delivered a stark assessment of the U.S. economy, arguing that the country is already mired in a recession.
They painted a picture of economic headwinds, political challenges, and potential geopolitical flashpoints, urging investors to remain calm and prepare for a period of prolonged uncertainty.
Doomberg pointed to a confluence of economic indicators signaling a significant slowdown. While mainstream narratives often focus on positive numbers, they highlighted underlying weaknesses masked by lagging data.
They suggested that key sectors are struggling, and that the overall economic picture is far less rosy than official reports suggest.
Adding to the economic woes, Doomberg believes that the Trump Administration faces significant obstacles, even before potentially retaking office. Internal pushback from within the government, coupled with a Federal Reserve that appears to be operating at odds with the administration’s goals, could significantly hinder any attempts to implement effective economic policies. This misalignment, they argued, creates further instability and uncertainty in an already fragile environment.
Echoing familiar concerns from the CoviD era, Doomberg warned about the resurgence of supply chain disruptions. These disruptions, they stated, are not isolated incidents but rather a pervasive issue that continues to destabilize markets and contribute to inflationary pressures.
This ongoing instability makes it difficult for businesses to plan and invest, further exacerbating the economic slowdown.
One of the most compelling arguments Doomberg presented was the rising price of gold. They interpreted this not just as a response to inflation, but as a broader signal of a shifting monetary environment. Gold’s rise, they argued, indicates a growing lack of confidence in traditional financial systems and a move towards alternative stores of value.
While energy markets currently appear stable, Doomberg cautioned against complacency. They warned that geopolitical tensions, particularly in volatile regions, could rapidly alter the energy landscape, leading to price spikes and further economic disruption.
They emphasized the unpredictability of these events and the potential for significant ripple effects throughout the global economy.
Despite the somber outlook, Doomberg’s message wasn’t one of despair. They strongly advised investors to avoid the trap of short-term panic selling. Instead, they advocated for a long-term perspective, urging investors to focus on building resilient portfolios that can weather the ongoing uncertainty.
They emphasized the importance of diversification, maintaining sufficient cash reserves, and investing in assets that tend to perform well during periods of economic turmoil.
In conclusion, Doomberg’s discussion with Liberty and Finance offered a sobering assessment of the U.S. economy. Their analysis highlighted the multifaceted challenges facing the nation, from economic slowdown and political headwinds to supply chain disruptions and potential geopolitical flashpoints
However, by urging investors to remain calm, focus on long-term strategies, and maintain a balanced portfolio, Doomberg offered a roadmap for navigating the turbulent times ahead. The message is clear: preparedness and prudence are essential in the face of escalating economic uncertainty.
