Gold Revaluation 2025: Two Paths to a U.S. Dollar Reset

Taylor Kenny:  4-27-2025

Gold revaluation isn’t a future event—it’s a process already unfolding.

 In this video, Taylor Kenney reveals the quiet shift underway as trust in fiat evaporates, debt spirals out of control, and gold returns to the center of the global financial system.

There are two ways a revaluation could unfold—one is already happening, and the other could rewrite the rules overnight.

Understanding how each scenario plays out could be the key to protecting wealth and future.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Sun. 27 April 2025

Compiled Sun. 27 April 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

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.

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.

~~~~~~~~~~

Possible Timing:

Constitutional Law and the Gold Standard was set to return to all citizens (allegedly) around the Globe by Sat. 26 April 2025. In this new World unshackled from the banking elite 207 nations would function under concepts of the original Constitution and a restored justice system under NESARA/GESARA Law. …John F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram

A new gold/asset-backed currency for 207 nations that traded at a 1:1 with each other would end the era of fiat US Dollar manipulation – liberating the World, along with release of over 6,000 suppressed technologies including free energy, antigravity and healing machines.

Everyone Is DUMPING The Dollar...Will It Continue To Crash?

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Sunday Morning 4-27-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BREAKING NEWS: FIRST XRP ETF GOES LIVE IN BRAZIL, NOT U.S

▪️Brazil becomes the first country to launch an XRP ETF, beating the United States.

▪️The XRPH11 ETF will give investors safe, easy, and regulated access to XRP investments.

▪️Experts predict XRP-related products could attract up to $8 billion in future, with XRP price to hit $24 soon.

XRP has just reached a major milestone with the launch of its first-ever ETF in Brazil. This exciting move could bring more investors into XRP and open the door for bigger developments in the United States.

With experts predicting that billions of dollars could soon flow into XRP products. However, this could pump the XRP price by 1000%.

First XRP ETF Goes Live in Brazil

In a big win for the XRP community, Brazil’s B3 stock exchange has launched the world’s first XRP ETF. The fund, called XRPH11, is managed by Hashdex and Genial Investimentos.

It will track the Nasdaq XRP Reference Price Index, making it easier for investors to gain safe and regulated exposure to XRP.

According to Hashdex, the ETF will invest at least 95% of its assets directly in XRP or in other products like futures contracts that copy XRP’s price movements. This setup allows both regular and big investors to invest in XRP without needing to own or store the cryptocurrency themselves.

Brazil Moves Ahead, US Still Waiting

Interestingly, this major step happened in Brazil, not in the United States, where Ripple is based. In the US, companies like Grayscale and Franklin Templeton have already filed for XRP ETFs, but they are still waiting for approval from the SEC.

Meanwhile, the demand for XRP-related investment products is growing fast. As of April 18, XRP-focused ETPs had about $950 million in assets under management, according to CoinShares. Just last week, XRP funds saw $37.7 million in new money, leading all other crypto funds.

Even bigger things could be on the horizon. JPMorgan predicted earlier this year that XRP products could pull in up to $8 billion — almost eight times more than today.

XRP Price Outlook

Even after this big news, XRP’s price hasn’t moved much. It is still trading around $2.20, with only a small 0.8% rise in the last 24 hours. But many believe that if an XRP ETF gets approved in the US, the price could shoot up.

Although XRP has been moving slowly for some time, signs are starting to look more exciting. In the past, when gold slowed down after a strong rally, XRP went up by 1,000%.

Now, with gold pulling back again, some experts think XRP could rise sharply and even reach $24 this year.

US CRYPTO RULES LIKE 'FLOOR IS LAVA' GAME WITHOUT LIGHTS — HESTER PEIRCE

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said that to engage in crypto activities, “SEC-registrants have had to hop from one poorly illuminated regulatory space to the next.”

SEC Commissioner and head of the crypto task force, Hester Peirce, says US financial firms are navigating crypto in a way that’s similar to playing the children’s game “the floor is lava,” but in the dark.

“It is time that we find a way to end this game. We need to turn on the lights and build some walkways over the lava pit,” Peirce said at the SEC “Know Your Custodian” roundtable event on April 25.

The lava is crypto, says Peirce

Peirce explained that SEC registrants are forced to approach crypto-related activities like “the floor is lava,” where the aim is to jump from one piece of furniture to the next without touching the ground, except here, touching crypto directly is the lava.

“A D.C. version of this game is our regulatory approach to crypto assets, and crypto asset custody in particular,” she said.

Peirce said that, much like in the game, firms wanting to engage with crypto must avoid directly holding it due to unclear regulatory rules. “To engage in crypto-related activities, SEC-registrants have had to hop from one poorly illuminated regulatory space to the next, all while ensuring that they never touch any crypto asset,” Peirce said.

Peirce said that investment advisers are often unsure which crypto assets qualify as securities, what entities count as qualified custodians, and whether “exercising staking or voting rights” could trigger custody violations.

“The twist in the regulatory version is that it is largely played in the dark: burning legal lava and no lamps to illuminate the way.”

Peirce also said that a broker or ATS that cannot custody or manage crypto assets will struggle to facilitate trading, making it unlikely for a “robust market” to develop.

Echoing a similar sentiment, SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda said at the event that as more SEC registrants work with crypto assets, it’s essential that they have access to custodial options that meet legal and regulatory requirements.

Uyeda said the agency should consider letting advisers use “state-chartered limited-purpose trust companies” with the authority to hold crypto assets as qualified custodians.

Meanwhile, the recently sworn-in chair of the SEC, Paul Atkins, said that he expected “huge benefits” from blockchain technology through efficiency, risk mitigation, transparency, and cutting costs.

He reiterated that among his goals at the SEC would be to facilitate “clear regulatory rules of the road” for digital assets, hinting that the agency under former chair Gary Gensler had contributed to market and regulatory uncertainty.

“I look forward to engaging with market participants and working with colleagues in President Trump’s administration and Congress to establish a rational fit-for-purpose framework for crypto assets,” said Atkins.

Tishwash:  Fitch Ratings: Iraqi banks will not be harmed by the decline in oil prices.

Fitch Ratings confirmed on Saturday that the Iraqi banking sector is not affected by the decline in oil prices due to its lower credit rating.

The agency said in a report seen by Shafaq News Agency that "the indirect effects resulting from the decline in oil prices and weak global growth may lead to a decline in government spending, severely impacting banking operating conditions in most Gulf and Middle Eastern countries."

She added, "The banking sector in Iraq has low credit ratings, with most banks classified as CCC. These ratings are unlikely to be affected by the negative impact of lower oil prices, especially given the central bank's strong ability to support government spending."

The agency noted that "credit conditions in Gulf banks could also deteriorate if profitability and cash flows decline for companies operating in affected sectors. However, they are well-positioned to absorb any deterioration in the operating environment, thanks to the strengthening of their financial reserves in recent years."

Fitch Ratings is one of the largest global rating agencies. Founded in 1914 and headquartered in New York and London, its mission is to assess the creditworthiness of countries and companies and provide reports that help investors determine the risks of loans and investments.

Fitch is one of the world's top three rating agencies, along with Standard & Poor's and Moody' link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani succeeded in transforming trade relations with Türkiye into investment opportunities.. His advisor

"A transition that is happening for the first time"

The Prime Minister's Advisor for Investment Affairs, Mohammed al-Najjar, affirmed on Saturday that Iraq has become an attractive environment for Turkish investments, noting that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has succeeded in transforming trade relations with Türkiye into investment opportunities.

Iraq is the first country in which Turkey will invest,” Al-Najjar said in a statement to the official agency, followed by 964 Network. “It is well known that Turkey is the one looking for investment opportunities and requesting investments, but we have succeeded, through government measures, in attracting investment environments in Iraq.” He pointed out that “the opportunities created by the Prime Minister have made Iraq an attractive country for Turkish companies, which constitutes an important platform for a large number of countries to enter and invest in the opportunities available in Iraq.”

He added that "the entry of Turkish investments into Iraq represents a turning point in relations between the two countries. This is the first time that relations have shifted from a commercial aspect to an investment aspect." He pointed out that "there are multiple areas for Turkey to invest in Iraq, including infrastructure, roads, energy, and communications, all of which represent significant opportunities for Turkish companies that have begun to invest, not just in contracting or commercial operations."

Al-Najjar explained that "Iraq has worked to transform its relationship with Türkiye into an investment relationship, including a path to development, which will constitute a fundamental pillar for Turkey as a starting point for investment."  link

Tishwash:  Al-Alaq: We are working to solve the problem of Visa and MasterCard cards abroad.

Central Bank Governor Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq announced on Saturday that the issue of Visa and MasterCard cards abroad will be resolved within the next month.

Al-Alaq said in press statements: “The Central Bank has completed the two tasks related to cash sales and foreign transfers, but the card crisis witnessed a state of “misunderstanding.” 

He explained, “When we moved to organize this process, it required a set of measures that must be worked on, so that we put it on the right path and according to acceptable standards. Therefore, there were some pauses and some changes in the paths.”

Al-Alaq said: “An agreement was reached with all concerned parties - which include Visa and MasterCard, in coordination with the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the auditing company - on the “formulas and paths for settling these cards,” stressing that “the Central Bank has taken rapid steps in this regard, expecting to complete this task within the next month, i.e. before the scheduled date for this process, which is June 1.”

Al-Alaq revealed that “work has begun on a plan to issue cards to small merchants, after completing consultations with companies,” “to accommodate the requests of merchants—a large segment of Iraqi society—to cover their foreign trade without going through long routes, so that transfers can be made directly, which will create a major shift in accommodating merchants who do not use formal transfer methods.”

Al-Alaq noted that “the Central Bank, in agreement and consultation with the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, has completed the organization of cash dollar sales operations, and is now in an “ideal position, by their own testimony.”

He described foreign commercial transfers as “progressing very smoothly, as we have expanded the network of correspondent banks abroad in the US and elsewhere. An agreement has also been reached to open another bank in the US to establish relationships with Iraqi banks in transfer operations.”  link

The Planned Economic Reset: Greg Mannario

The Planned Economic Reset

Liberty and Finance:  4-27-2025

In a recent interview with Liberty and Finance, renowned trading coach Gregory Mannarino delivered a stark and unsettling assessment of the current economic landscape, painting a picture of deliberate market manipulation, government incoherence, and the insidious control exerted by global elites.

Mannarino’s analysis, both alarming and galvanizing, serves as a stark warning about the future and a call to action for individuals seeking to reclaim their sovereignty.

Mannarino pulls no punches in his critique, suggesting that even seemingly populist leaders like President Trump are ultimately beholden to the whims of the stock market, a market itself heavily influenced by unseen powers.

He points to Trump’s often-conflicting economic messaging and policy reversals, particularly around tariffs and interest rates, as evidence of a system driven by stock market pressures and orchestrated by forces beyond the purview of everyday citizens.

The core of Mannarino’s argument rests on the conviction that the global financial system is teetering on the brink of collapse, fueled by an unsustainable mountain of debt, artificially suppressed interest rates, and a looming shift towards centralized digital control.

He describes the current system as a deliberate “wrecking machine,” intentionally designed to cripple the middle class and small businesses, paving the way for a new, more easily controlled global order.

He highlights the deceptive nature of “prosperity” metrics, arguing that the apparent economic gains are built on a foundation of sand, propped up by unsustainable debt and manipulated numbers.

He warns that the inherent fragility of this system makes it vulnerable to a sudden and catastrophic collapse, the consequences of which will be far-reaching and devastating for ordinary people.

In the face of this grim outlook, Mannarino advises viewers to take proactive steps to protect themselves. He strongly advocates for holding real assets, particularly gold and silver, as a hedge against the inevitable devaluation of fiat currencies. He emphasizes that tangible wealth, insulated from the digital machinations of the financial system, offers a vital pathway to security in times of crisis.

However, Mannarino’s message extends far beyond mere financial preparedness. He calls for a profound shift in consciousness and a concerted effort to reclaim individual sovereignty. He urges listeners to resist the narratives pushed by main stream media and to seek out independent sources of truth.

He believes that the key to dismantling the control of global elites lies in awakening to their agenda and refusing to participate in their system of manipulation.

Beyond resistance, Mannarino emphasizes the importance of unity, spiritual reconnection, and grassroots organizing. He believes that by coming together, sharing knowledge, and supporting each other, individuals can build alternative systems and communities that are resilient to the coming changes. He sees a renewed connection to spirituality as a source of strength and guidance in navigating the complex and challenging times ahead.

Ultimately, Gregory Mannarino’s message is one of both warning and hope. While he paints a sobering picture of the forces arrayed against individual freedom and economic stability, he also offers a powerful call to action.

He believes that by awakening to the truth, reclaiming our sovereignty, and uniting in purpose, we can not only survive the coming storm but also build a more just and equitable future.

His call to arms is one of informed resistance, spiritual awakening, and collective action, a path towards reclaiming our lives and shaping our destiny.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

FEDERAL RESERVE RELAXES STANCE ON BANK CRYPTO ACTIVITIES

The Federal Reserve has withdrawn four crypto-asset related advisories, including ones that required banks to inform the Fed of planned activities in advance or receive a non objection letter. The two other main federal banking regulators, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) had already cancelled the requirements to get permission.

It follows a letter from Republican members of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee earlier this month requesting the withdrawal of the letters. They characterized the supervisory non objection process as a method to “stonewall financial institutions” and prevent them from engaging with distributed ledger technology (DLT).

The FDIC’s responses to freedom of information requests, combined with the lack of services launched by banks, largely support this assertion.

Oversight will now happen through the normal Fed supervisory process. The Federal Reserve statement says, “the Board will work with the agencies (FDIC, OCC) to consider whether additional guidance to support innovation, including crypto-asset activities, is appropriate.”

“Today’s announcement from the Fed and FDIC is a welcome and important step toward achieving that goal and ensuring consumers can access these products and services through their trusted bank relationships,” said American Bankers Association President and CEO Rob Nichols. “We look forward to working with the Fed and FDIC in this fast-evolving marketplace.”

The withdrawn letters

The first withdrawn letter was issued in 2022 and required Board supervised banking organizations to notify the Federal Reserve prior to engaging in digital asset activities. The 2023 letter, SR 23-8 established a supervisory non objection process for state member banks involved with tokens using distributed ledger technology.

The withdrawal also included two joint 2023 letters issued by the Fed, FDIC and OCC that were more cautionary in nature. In fairness, their timing made sense. The crypto crash that followed the 2022 collapse of the Terra algorithmic stablecoin, resulted in the mass withdrawal of funds at Silvergate Bank, which alarmed the regulators.

Shortly after these letters, Silicon Valley Bank collapsed, which was unrelated to crypto. However, there were assertions that the collapse of Signature Bank around the same time was partly related to crypto, an issue that bank executives disputed.

In addition to the banking regulators, the CFTC and SEC have also adopted different approaches to crypto under the new Trump administration. While the SEC took an extreme stance under the Biden administration, it remains to be seen whether the pendulum swings too far the other way.

For example, the SEC washed its hands of supervising most meme coins. But some critics, including popular podcaster Joe Rogan, have expressed shock that meme coin pump and dump scams remain largely unregulated

CARDANO FOUNDER CONFIRMS XRP INTEGRATION, FRUSTRATED BY CHAINLINK DELAYS

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson used the closing minutes of a wide-ranging “ask-me-anything” session on Wednesday to give the community a granular look at two long-running alliance talks that have often generated more speculation than substance:

▪️a multisided collaboration with Ripple’s XRP ecosystem
▪️an oracle integration with Chainlink.

Hoskinson, responding to a viewer who asked, “Charles, are partnerships of Ripple and Chainlink still being discussed?”, made it clear that progress has been uneven. “Ripple, yes. Chainlink we’re working hard on that,” he said.

XRP Integration Makes Progress

On Ripple, Hoskinson sounded decidedly upbeat, describing a concrete roadmap that reaches from native wallet support to token distribution and a new role for Ripple’s forthcoming RLUSD stablecoin. He confirmed that “we’re going to add XRP support for Lace, so if you’re an XRP user you can hold your XRP in the Lace wallet,” referring to IOG’s flagship light wallet launched last year.

He went further, noting that “XRP is going to be part of the Midnight airdrop,” the privacy-focused sidechain announced by Input Output Global. Even the stablecoin is on the table: “we’re in talks with RLUSD so I mean, uh, that’s as good as it gets,” he said, hinting that Cardano infrastructure might natively support Ripple’s fiat-pegged asset.

Hoskinson attributed the new momentum partly to personal rapport inside Ripple’s technical brain-trust. “David Schwarz just invited me to speak at one of their conferences and we’re on very good terms,” he disclosed.

The founder also revealed that “the Flare [Network] people want to come to Cardano and do oracles with us,” underscoring that the partnership has broadened beyond Ripple and broadens to the entire XRP Ledger ecosystem.

sed that relations remain cordial—“I have [Sergey] Nazarov’s private number… we meet and we’re like ‘Yeah, we need to work together’”—the substance of the collaboration still hangs in limbo.

Chainlink, he explained, “has us on the list for integration” and is migrating to “some new framework that’s kind of like Rosetta with Coinbase to do these integrations.” The result is a moving target: “for some reason it’s just always like three to six months off.”

Hoskinson dismissed any notion that the delay stems from politics or money. “There’s no component of it where there’s an interpersonal issue… there’s no component where there’s an economic issue,” he insisted. Instead, he pointed to Chainlink’s bifurcated codebase—“they have like a legacy way of doing it [and] they’re moving towards a new way”—which makes it “hard to predict… what the integration’s going to take.”

Even staffing up the effort has not forced the process across the finish line. “No matter how many people I throw at it… it just, for some reason, doesn’t get over the line,” he admitted, conceding that Cardano is “kind of in this no man’s land” while it waits for Chainlink’s next-generation tooling to stabilize.

Despite the frustration, Hoskinson reiterated his desire for Chainlink to become a premier oracle on Cardano, though he added that “there’s also Pyth [Network] and then there’s Flare and others” in play. He softened the critique with an anecdote about the two founders’ similarities, quipping that “Sergey and I… have the same fashion style, we have the same beard, we’re the same body mass… there’s no bad blood.”

At press time, ADA traded at $0.72.

Restored Republic:

Fri. 25 April 2025 The long-awaited announcement regarding the official launch of NESARA is on the horizon. … on Telegram

A Global Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) will (allegedly) soon activate, broadcasting a coordinated message worldwide. The transmission will initiate a 10–12 day global lockdown, during which all media outlets will air documentaries revealing the full truth behind the events of recent years—military operations, covert arrests, seized assets, and systemic corruption.

During this period, every citizen will be (allegedly) asked to stay indoors during a designated 5-hour window, as directed by the EBS. This isn’t fear—it’s clarity. The world is about to learn what really happened.

At the conclusion of this global disclosure phase, a secured 800-number will (allegedly)  be provided, allowing people to schedule appointments to set up their Quantum Financial Accounts (QFS). These accounts will (allegedly) receive direct deposits as part of global wealth redistribution—returning stolen funds to the people, including trust assets and savings long withheld by the Cabal.

In recent weeks, nearly 75 banks have been seized, and Cabal-owned accounts closed, with their assets moved to the QFS. These moves have been intentionally quiet—until now.

Every Central Bank has transitioned to ISO 20022, the QFS’s international standard, ensuring traceability and eliminating fraud. Traditional bank accounts are now backed by this new transparent system. Investments and stocks will soon migrate as well, once final approval is given.

Yes, the Stock Market crash is real—but it’s not your destruction. It’s the end of their system and the beginning of yours.

Your savings, pensions, and funds are safe and secured in the new system. The originally planned date of March 1st may shift slightly due to Julian calendar adjustments, but nothing can stop what’s coming.

The world is about to witness the greatest transfer of wealth and power in human history.

Be ready. The countdown is real.

Militia Man  Valuation for oil costs - They haven't exposed that yet.  Just like they haven't turned the oil on to Turkey and just like they haven't exposed article 12-2 C to the public...The public on the street is aware of this...It looks like they haven't done it yet because they don't have an internationally acceptable real effective exchange rate...the cat is out of the bag...

Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:  Sudani...is not trying to hide a rate, he's just not doing it.  He's not doing his job!  FRANK:  I'm not losing faith is Sudani, I'm just disappointed in him to a degree. You see, he is not in control of your currency reform. The CBI is.  We the United States of America have a lot of influence through the United States Treasury on your monetary reform because of our relationship with the IMF.  Your new exchange rate is definitely coming IMO.  Unfortunately it's coming to you Middle Eastern style by kicking, screaming, fighting, pulling hair for every inch of it.  That is sad because that is the Middle East way.  But Donald Trump will speed this up.IMO

Tishwash:  The Prime Minister's Financial Advisor talks about gold demand and prices.

The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, explained the reasons for the increased demand for gold in Iraq, as well as its impact on global prices.

Saleh stated that "local gold is one of the wealth havens most affected by external or international factors and shocks, as it is a commodity imported from gold vaults abroad. The global price of gold exceeded the $3,200 per ounce barrier in April 2025, affected by geopolitical tensions, especially between the United States and China, or the so-called trade war issue represented by the escalation of the mutual tariff war between various countries of the world and its direct and indirect effects on inflation trends and expectations in the global economy."

 He pointed out that "this coincided with indicators of the oil asset cycle, the downward trend in global oil prices, as well as the increasing demand for the yellow metal by central banks and investors seeking a safe haven for wealth around the world, as gold is undoubtedly the best store of value." He explained that "the price of gold, which has witnessed a significant and continuous rise, despite its fluctuations towards the decline, has maintained its high price. For example, the price of one ounce on April 17, 2025, reached approximately $3,321.89, after previously reaching a new record high of $3,357.40 per ounce."

Saleh said, "The opening of the local gold market to the global market and the impact of global gold prices on our country's supply has become an immediate reflexive issue. Until the local gold market stabilizes again, it may take a long time to adapt again." He pointed out that "the short-term jumps in gold prices cast a shadow over the tendencies of individuals in our country and the behavior of some to hedge their investments in the yellow metal."

He pointed out that "the demand for gold in Iraq is a traditional means of preserving value, which leads to its purchase as a normal hedge, especially for those with cash surpluses, with the aim of profiting from the external price factors affecting the fluctuations in the international economy, and the impact of this on the level of global prices, and the repercussions of this on thinking about re-diversifying the wealth portfolios of some of them, or according to their beliefs and traditions in investing, preserving the value of their personal financial wealth, or speculating."

He explained that "if the goal of importing is a safe investment, it is preferable to monitor global and local markets to make informed decisions, and to properly diversify their investment portfolios and not rely entirely on a single investment vehicle to preserve value, as gold is also subject to decline.

 It is also preferable to consider other national investment options to diversify their investment portfolios, especially investing in interest-bearing sovereign government bonds currently offered to investors through the Iraqi banking system." link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE PRESIDENT MONICA LONG STUNS XRP ARMY WITH PRODUCT ADVANCEMENT UPDATES

President Monica Long confirmed Ripple Labs’ $1.25 billion Hidden Road purchase, emphasizing XRP and RLUSD enterprise integration.

Ripple’s acquisition of prime brokerage firm Hidden Road for $1.25 billion is back in the spotlight.

XRP eyes bullish breakout with price holding above key levels.

Derivatives marketplace CME Group is to launch XRP futures on May 19, boosting institutional interest.

Monica Long, the President of American blockchain payments firm Ripple Labs Inc, has spurred fresh excitement within the XRP community. She recently stunned the community with updates on the company’s ongoing expansion and its latest acquisition. These developments come as the Ripple Labs-linked cryptocurrency XRP shows steady price gains amidst increasing institutional adoption.

Ripple Strengthens Infrastructure with Hidden Road Deal

In a recent CNBC interview, Monica Long confirmed Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road, a global prime brokerage firm that processes over $3 trillion in transactions annually.

In the interview, Long disclosed that the deal, which cost Ripple $1.25 billion, is considered a strategic move. This acquisition is aimed at strengthening the company’s financial infrastructure services, which include global payments, token custody, and asset tokenization, all of which are tailored for enterprise use.

According to the update, Long shared that Ripple Labs has expanded its payments network. She highlighted the company’s strong liquidity management, regulatory compliance with over 60 licenses, and complete control over payment flows.

Long also mentioned that purchasing Hidden Road supports Ripple’s core mission and enhances the integration of XRP, RLUSD (Ripple’s stablecoin), and other digital assets into enterprise-level solutions.

It is essential to add that this development follows Ripple Labs’ decision to delay going public. Long explained that the company remains financially strong, holding billions in cash reserves, and does not need an IPO for capital or visibility.

Commenting on the development, CEO Brad Garlinghouse echoed these remarks, confirming that Ripple will focus on building through acquisitions rather than listing on the stock market.

XRP Holds Key Levels

CoinMarketCap data shows that the fourth-largest cryptocurrency XRP is currently trading at $2.19, up 1.80% in the last 24 hours.

It is worth noting that the price has shown signs of consolidation. Market data shows that it is holding support above $2.11 and pushing through key levels following a mid-week high of $2.30.

Analysts are watching a possible 25% breakout toward $2.74, backed by a bullish inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. According to experts, a move above $2.22, which stands as the short-term resistance, is expected to open the path toward $2.50 and beyond.

It is worth mentioning that Derivatives exchange CME Group’s announcement of XRP futures set to launch on May 19 has only added to the market optimism. As detailed in its announcement, the futures will offer micro and larger contracts targeting institutional and retail investors.

Coinspeaker noted earlier that Coinbase submitted a filing with the CFTC to introduce XRP futures trading. This shows the rising appeal of XRP among Institutional and professional traders.

Reports also show that XRP technical indicators are pointing toward mixed signals. For context, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering around 55 but trending down toward the midline, indicating a potential shift in sentiment. Meanwhile, long liquidations are outpacing short ones, hinting at growing sell-side pressure. Despite this, XRP remains above the 100-day EMA, keeping the current bullish setup intact.

With continued attention on support at $2.15 and resistance at $2.22, market participants are closely watching Ripple’s next steps.

BRICS: GOLDMAN SACHS ANALYST PREDICTS THE US DOLLAR’S FUTURE

Goldman Sachs analyst has provided a gloomy prediction for the US dollar as BRICS aims to topple the US dollar from the world’s reserve currency. The US dollar is the worst-performing currency in the forex markets as the DXY index dipped below the 100 mark.

 It hit a low of 98.06 after falling from a high of 109.40 early this year. The greenback has dipped nearly 9% year-to-date and eight out of nine leading currencies outperformed it in 2025.

BRICS: Goldman Sachs on The US Dollar’s Future: ‘Weakness Is Here To Stay,’ Says Analyst

Kamakshya Trivedi, Head of Global FX at Goldman Sachs said that the US dollar’s weakness is here to stay. Trivedi explained that the geopolitical winds have changed as emerging economies are now looking at their own benefits similar to how the US does on foreign policies. 

The Goldman Sachs analyst remains bearish on the US dollar as BRICS and other countries are diversifying their reserves.

“The US dollar weakness is here to stay. It’s going to persist, and it’s going to deepen,” said the analyst. He added, “I think the dollar weakness has further to run.” However, the Goldman Sachs analyst explained that the local currencies of BRICS countries do not pose a threat to the US dollar.

He stressed that the euro and Japanese yen could rise as the greenback declines in the charts. “It’s going to be the euro o+r the yen in the lead. That’s your typical ultra-safe haven. And I think that we could be getting back to the low 130s in quick time if the labor market data in the US start to crack.” While BRICS currencies might not pull the US dollar down, the euro and yen could, said the Goldman Sachs analyst.

America’s “Suez Moment” Has Arrived

America’s “Suez Moment” Has Arrived

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)   April 25, 2025

Don Edgar considered himself extremely lucky.

It was early in the morning on November 6, 1956, and the World War II veteran turned journalist for Britain’s Daily Express was one of just two reporters invited to witness Britain’s invasion of Egypt.

Standing on the bridge of a British warship, Edgar wrote that it was “the most impressive military operation the British had put on for many a year, with parachutists, marine commandos, tanks, aircraft, and a naval bombardment.”

Naturally he would say so. Edgar was British.

The rest of the world, however, was not terribly impressed. And the United Nations-- along with the US, Canada, Australia, and more, raced to condemn Great Britain for its aggression.

Britain naturally felt justified. Egypt had recently seized the Suez Canal-- one of the most important waterways in the world linking the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.

For Britain, the Suez Canal was a critical transport route for Saudi oil, not to mention a major asset; the British government had purchased a 44% stake in the canal back in the 1870s for a mere 4 million pounds, and the annual dividend soon exceeded their entire purchase price.

So, when Egyptian President Gamal Nasser nationalized the canal in July 1956, the British weren’t willing to take that lying down. To them it felt like theft.

Prime Minister Anthony Eden called it “piracy”, and he was willing to go to war to take the canal back.

Unfortunately for Eden, he underestimated the Egyptians’ resolve to fight.

Nasser responded by blowing up dozens of transport and cargo ships, effectively clogging up the canal and rendering it useless.

Eden also didn’t count on the immense global backlash… and not just diplomatically.

It was bad enough that pretty much every country on earth, from the United States to the Soviet Union, joined together in denouncing the invasion.

Britain was also severely punished by financial markets. Foreign capital fled the country. The British pound plummeted. Both the stock market and the bond market crashed.

It was absolutely brutal. Britain’s main stock index fell 170 points, roughly 8% in the span of ten days. Bond prices fell by 15% and bond yields surged as a result.

And the British government had to burn through roughly 15% of its total foreign reserves ($279 million at the time) just to keep its economy afloat.

Britain simply didn’t have the economic resources to withstand such intense financial pressure-- much of which was inflicted by the United States. So, the Brits quickly backed down and accepted the ceasefire terms dictated by the UN.

What started as an almost patriotic mission to reclaim British patrimony ended in a humiliating withdrawal-- and one that left no doubt in anyone’s mind that Britain was no longer a major superpower.

Financial markets do crash from time to time, often in reaction to government policy or some exogenous event. But it’s extremely unusual to have the trifecta, i.e. a major decline in the stock, bond, AND currency markets, simultaneously.

For example, if a government announces a major tax increase, then most likely the stock market will suffer a sudden decline. Higher taxes are bad for business, and valuations will take a hit.

But higher taxes would make bonds a more attractive investment (since the additional tax revenue makes the government more creditworthy).

So, stocks would fall, yet bonds would benefit.

As another example, slashing interest rates would typically be perceived as good for business… so stocks would rise. But the reduced rates (which may invite higher inflation) could be perceived as bad for the currency… so the dollar might drop as a result.

There are always trade-offs, and capital tends to move in/out of various asset classes.

But again, it’s extremely unusual for all of these assets to decline, so dramatically, at the same time. And it’s usually a pretty clear sign that capital is fleeing your country, i.e. foreign investors are pulling a lot of money out, quickly.

Usually if this freak occurrence does take place, it happens to some little banana republic. Zimbabwe and Venezuela come to mind.

But for a wealthy, developed country to suffer such financial humiliation is extremely rare… and signals that something has gone terribly wrong.

Again, this happened to Britain during the Suez Crisis. It also happened to Japan after their big crash in the 1980s.

Even the US was humbled in 1971 when the dollar was taken off the gold standard; the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 7% that August, the bond market fell (i.e. bond yields rose by more than 100 basis points), and the dollar lost 15% against other major currencies.

The US was able to recover back in the 70s, however, because it managed to maintain its position as the global reserve currency-- and even still, it took a decade of stagflation before they managed to right the ship.

This month we witnessed the same pattern. After the Liberation Day nonsense, the US stock, bond, and currency markets all crashed (and gold surged to $3500 as a result). Substantial foreign pressure mounted.

And, at least for the moment, it appears that the US government is capitulating; just like Britain in 1956, the US government lacks the financial sturdiness to withstand the pressure.

Also, just like Britain in 1956, this may be the moment that future historians mark as the end to US global primacy.

It seems naive to think that the rest of the world will simply move on and forget about Liberation Day. Most likely this fiasco will accelerate the US dollar being displaced as the world’s dominant reserve currency.

No one knows yet what that new system will look like. And it’s because of the “I don’t knows” that gold surged to a peak of $3500.

Central banks have been the key driver of that trend, because, while they don’t know what the next reserve currency will be, they do know that they’ll be able to trade for it with gold.

I still believe this long-term trend will hold, i.e. central banks will continue to trade their US dollar reserves for gold.

But at the moment, gold is looking a bit overbought; its surge in price has been nearly a one-way street, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a short-term correction.

On that note, it’s very difficult to find anyone today who is bearish on gold… and when everyone has jumped on the same bandwagon, I start getting a bit nervous.

Fortunately, there are still a number of absurdly cheap gold companies, like mining, service, and streaming businesses, that are trading at ridiculously low multiples.

We’ll talk about this more next week.

Gold to Hit $6,000? Dollar Reset & Bitcoin Boom Ahead | Frank Holmes

Gold to Hit $6,000? Dollar Reset & Bitcoin Boom Ahead | Frank Holmes

Kitco News:  4-25-2025

Gold recently hit a record $3,500/oz amid extreme volatility. Now, Frank Holmes — CEO of U.S. Global Investors and Executive Chairman of Hive Digital — says $6,000 gold is coming under Trump’s new term.

With Goldman Sachs projecting a 25%-30% dollar drop and BRICS nations rapidly stockpiling gold, is a global currency reset already underway?

Frank also shares his forecast for $250,000 Bitcoin, the rise of decentralized assets, and how both gold and crypto are being driven by loss of trust in traditional financial systems.

From central bank gold buying to mining stock cash flows and sovereign reserve shifts, Holmes breaks down the macro forces behind this dual breakout.
