Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

ARIZONA LEGISLATURE PASSES BITCOIN RESERVE BILL, SENDS IT TO GOVERNOR’S DESK: BLOOMBERG GOVERNMENT

▪️The bill, called the Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, was passed on Monday by Arizona’s state legislature, Bloomberg Government reported.

▪️If signed by Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, the state would be the first to require public funds to invest in bitcoin.

Lawmakers in Arizona have passed a bill allowing the state treasurer and retirement system to invest up to 10% of available funds in digital assets, specifically bitcoin, sending it to the governor’s desk for approval, according to Bloomberg Government.

The bill, called the Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, passed Monday in the state legislature, Bloomberg Government reported.

"This bill represents an emerging approach by a state government to integrate cryptocurrency into public financial management, reflecting the growing mainstream acceptance of digital assets," according to the bill text's summary.

The bill's cosponsors are both Republicans: Sen. Wendy Rogers and Rep. Jeff Weninger. If signed by Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, the state would be the first to require public funds to invest in Bitcoin.

Several states, including Iowa, Missouri, and Texas, are weighing whether to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve. At the federal level, President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve and digital asset stockpile.

Some asset managers have weighed in on how much bitcoin investors should hold. BlackRock recommended in December allocating 1% to 2% of a portfolio to bitcoin, according to Business Insider. Fidelity has suggested a slightly higher range, recommending 2% to 5%.

CONGRESS STRUGGLES TO MEET TRUMP’S AUGUST DEADLINE FOR U.S. CRYPTO REGULATION

▪️Congress accelerates efforts to finalize U.S. crypto legislation before President Trump’s August deadline.

▪️Lawmakers push for market structure and stablecoin bills as industry calls for action on DOJ prosecution.

▪️The crypto industry urges intervention from Trump’s Crypto Czar as legal battles over developer accountability heat up.

As lawmakers return to Capitol Hill after a two-week recess, crypto legislation is at the top of their agenda. With just three months left before President Trump’s August deadline, Congress has a lot of work ahead to craft laws that could define the future of digital assets in America.

Eleanor Terrett took to X to give a *spicy* update on everything that’s brewing.

Crypto Legislation: The Countdown Begins

Lawmakers are hard at work to push through two key bills: the market structure and stablecoin regulations. With little time left before the August deadline, there’s not much room for error. And let’s be honest, it was about time.

Last Friday, the House Financial Services Committee scheduled a joint hearing with the House Agriculture Committee for May 6, titled “American Innovation and the Future of Digital Assets.”

It’s clear that Congress is aiming for a forward-thinking approach.But can they pull it off in time? That’s the million-dollar question.

House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill (R-AR) shared that a discussion draft of the new legislation is expected soon. This draft is an updated version of last year’s FIT21 market structure bill. Meanwhile, Senate staffers are working on their own version, incorporating elements from both the 2022 Lummis-Gillibrand Responsible Financial Innovation Act and the FIT21 bill.

Industry Leaders Step Up: DOJ, It’s Time to Listen

While Congress scrambles, the crypto industry is raising its voice.

A petition led by the DeFi Education Fund, along with key industry leaders, has been launched urging President Trump’s Crypto and AI Czar, David Sacks, to intervene in the Department of Justice’s prosecution of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm.

The petition argues that developers shouldn’t be criminally liable for how bad actors use their code, especially when they have no control over it. The legal theory behind the prosecution has the potential to seriously impact innovation.

If lawmakers want to ensure the growth of the crypto ecosystem, this issue needs immediate attention.

What’s Next for Crypto?

With Congress hustling to meet the August deadline and the industry pushing for reform, we’re in for a wild few months.

Bizarrely, Gold Is The Opposite Of The Bitcoin Effect Right Now

Bizarrely, Gold Is The Opposite Of The Bitcoin Effect Right Now

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  April 28, 2025

You’ve probably heard the story.

As the legend goes, on a late-summer morning in 1929, Joseph Kennedy — patriarch of the famous Kennedy family — was headed into his office in downtown New York City. As he sat for a quick shoe shine, the young boy buffing his shoes, barely a teenager, eagerly offered him stock tips.

 Kennedy listened politely, but inside, he felt a jolt of alarm.

Supposedly he rushed to his office, dumped his entire stock portfolio, and moved heavily into cash. And just weeks later the stock market collapsed.

 There’s a good chance this story isn’t true; I’ve often heard it told with Sir John Templeton in place of Joe Kennedy... and when urban legends can’t even get their protagonists straight, that’s usually a sign of fiction.

 Curiously, however, a similar thing actually happened to me.

It was March 2009— six months after the Global Financial Crisis kicked off that wiped 50% off the S&P 500.

 I was living in Punta del Este, Uruguay at the time and was coincidentally getting my shoes shined before heading to the airport for a trip to Asia.

 The shoe shiner, an elderly Uruguayan man, asked me what I did for a living. I mentioned something about finance, at which point he cautioned me to avoid the stock market.

 At that point the S&P was at its crisis-era low... and would go on to nearly 10x over the next 16 years.

 Another story that is true is from August 1979: Businessweek magazine famously declared "The Death of Equities," capturing the widespread view that stocks (which had suffered in the 1970s) would continue to languish.

Yet the stock market was just about to unleash a multi-decade bull run.

 In April 2019, the same Businessweek ran a cover asking, "Is Inflation Dead?", again capturing the popular idea that there would never be inflation again. That turned out to be 100% incorrect.

Then there was the famous Bitcoin craze in November 2017: families across America spent their Thanksgiving holidays opening up Coinbase accounts and bidding up the price of Bitcoin to its (then) all-time high. Crypto subsequently entered a multi-year bear market...

Anytime I see popular bandwagons, I become nervous. And I’m starting to see some signs of that with gold.

 One glaring signal is that Costco— which sells gold to its customers— sold out its most recent inventory of American Eagle Gold Coins in less than four days. Gold demand is surging among retail investors.

Dealers are reporting crazy volume. The media is talking about gold daily now, whereas in the past they used to go weeks or months without a mention of gold.

 The Wall Street Journal even ran an article this past weekend entitled “How to buy gold”.

 Big investment bank analysts who, heretofore had ignored gold or been extremely bearish, are suddenly its biggest champions. Even the notorious Goldman Sachs is now projecting nearly $4,000 gold this year.

 And only a handful of analysts are bearish.

Look, we’ve been talking about gold for years... and in particular since 2023 when it became obvious that there were long-term catalysts.

It’s pretty easy to understand: central banks around the world are trading in their US dollars for gold, simply because they don’t have confidence that the dollar will last as the global reserve currency.

 And central banks don’t have a lot of options; there are only so many non-dollar asset classes that can absorb hundreds of billions of dollars worth of capital flows. Gold is one of the most convenient.

I’ve explained before that, because of these capital flow trends and catalysts, we could easily see $5,000 or even $10,000 gold over the coming years.

 But at the same time, the trend line for the gold price has been incredibly steep ever since its low in 2022. And, again, there are now signs that a retail gold mania may be forming.

I’m not saying that gold is too expensive or that it’s time to sell. These short-term market trends are extremely difficult to predict, and I tend to ignore them.

 Instead, I focus on the long-term big picture. And that’s a lot easier to see: the US fiscal situation is in major decline. The government is doing very little about it. And the rest of the world is already diversifying away from the dollar.

All of these trends are good for gold.

 Who knows what investors will do over the next few months? But over the next five years, you can make a very strong case that central banks will continue to buy gold and send the price higher.

 At the same time, I recognize that it’s difficult for some people to buy an asset when it’s at/near its all-time high... especially when it may suffer a short-term correction.

This is why we’ve been writing about an alternative to gold; because, while gold is near its all-time high, many gold companies are still undervalued relative to gold itself.

 I’m talking about really solid, profitable gold miners trading at less than TWO times forward earnings. It’s ridiculous.

 In a way it’s the opposite of the crypto phenomenon with Microstrategy (MSTR)— the company which primarily owns and holds Bitcoin.

 Microstrategy (technically now called “Strategy”) owns 553,555 Bitcoin worth $52 billion. That’s pretty much their biggest (and nearly only) asset.

 Yet the MSTR’s market cap is $92 billion.

 In other words, the Bitcoin-related company is worth nearly double the amount of Bitcoin it holds. This makes no sense.

 With gold, it’s the opposite. Gold is near its all-time highs... but the gold-related companies are cheap and undervalued.

 Some investors are starting to notice— for example, multiple precious metals companies we have published in our investment research service have risen by 40-60%.

 One has more than doubled in price... yet is still trading at a forward multiple of just 2x.

 So, gold is bizarrely the opposite of the Bitcoin effect with Microstrategy: gold is at a record high, but gold companies are cheap. I’ll say it again— this is not going to last.

No Gold? You’re Doomed In The Reset War

No Gold? You’re Doomed In The Reset War

Daniela Cambone:  4-28-2025

The Bank of Canada has no gold reserves and that could pose significant challenges for Canadians amid an unfolding global monetary reset, says Maxime Bernier, founder and leader of the People’s Party of Canada, who is running for Prime Minister.

In an interview with Daniela Cambone on Election Day, Bernier outlines the key issues facing Canada: mass immigration, unsustainable debt, and the potential return to a gold standard under his government.

 He warns that a major monetary reset is already underway, driven by high debt levels in Western nations and the diminishing dominance of the U.S. dollar.

Bernier also explores the possibility of a global shift toward a gold-based system for international transactions, which would present challenges for Canadians lacking gold reserves. In 2017, he recalled being “laughed at” by Stephen Harper when discussing the gold standard idea.

Watch the video to learn more about his policies and his vision for Canada’s future

Key Facts:

Canada owns no gold reserves.

A monetary reset is inevitable.

Canada’s national debt doubled under Trudeau.

Stephen Harper laughed at Bernier's "gold standard" idea in 2017.

Why Western elites are tied to fiat currency?

Gold Telegraph: The Last Monetary Reset

4-27-2025

One of the most overlooked moves this week: China’s central bank is investing in the internationalization of the Shanghai Gold Exchange. A war is playing out in the gold market, and it’s about pricing power. Buckle up.

The U.S. dollar index is down nearly 9%, on track for its worst start to the year since 1973 when currencies were cut loose from gold and began to float freely. In other words, the last monetary reset. The signs are everywhere.

BREAKING NEWS: A TOP CONTENDER TO REPLACE JAY POWELL HAS BLAMED THE FEDERAL RESERVE FOR “SYSTEMATIC ERRORS” AND MISHANDLING THE MOST SEVERE INFLATION CRISIS IN DECADES.

Change is in the air.

“Since the panic of 2008, central bank dominance has become a new feature of American governance…”

The next Federal Reserve chair must rebuild what’s been lost. Restoring the monetary integrity of the United States. @judyshel

For years, I’ve warned about the “buy now, pay later” trap. It’s a disgrace that so many rely on this financing to survive. Now, Americans are using it to pay for groceries. Very sad…

I said this 2 years ago: “More and more countries are either ignoring or starting to disrespect the IMF publicly…”

This week: The United States said it would pursue a significant overhaul of the International Monetary Fund.

The Spotlight is on the IMF. Despite a warning from the International Monetary Fund, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has successfully sold millions of gold-backed crypto tokens. Iran and Russia have also expressed interest in creating a new stablecoin backed by gold for trade. More and more countries are either ignoring or starting to disrespect the IMF publicly:

1) Zimbabwe ignored IMF warnings on gold-backed crypto tokens. 2) In early April, Tunisia rejected IMF loans, and the President said that Tunisians must count on themselves. 3) The Argentine Vice President recently blamed the country's $44 billion agreement with the International Monetary Fund as a significant factor behind the recent sharp devaluation of the peso and the subsequent wave of inflation, escalating consumer prices by more than 100%.

This is happening as debt from 18 developing nations is trading at distressed levels. A trend worth watching...

A leading pick to replace Jerome Powell says the Federal Reserve is due for nothing less than a complete “strategic reset.” About time… Only at the Federal Reserve could they believe that buying trillions in unwanted assets would end well.

The President of Colombia just called out the International Monetary Fund. Referencing them as “vampires.” The trend continues…

Militia Man  Remember, Iraq's original currency was mostly reflected off of oil and rentier country.  Not anymore.  That's going to mean they're going to need or will have a very strong powerful real effective exchange rate.  It's obvious IMO.

Frank26  In the Middle East...they're talking about a new exchange rate and the heavy talk they were dealing with was that maybe...a new rate was coming out at around $1.32.  I don't know.  I have no idea what the rate will be but I do know the IMF and the World Bank is working with the CBI and the US Treasury to bring purchasing power to their currency.  When?  I don't know.  All the evidence is in the articles.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

LEDGER LIVE ENABLES STABLECOIN YIELDS DIRECTLY FROM SELF-CUSTODY WITH NEW KILN INTEGRATION

▪️Ledger is enabling users to access stablecoin yields directly from self-custody via its Ledger Live hardware wallet companion app.

▪️Powered by Kiln, the feature is pitched as a way to access DeFi yields for USDC, USDT, USDS and DAI without going through “complex processes.”

Crypto hardware wallet giant Ledger says it will enable stablecoin yields directly from self-custody, in collaboration with DeFi infrastructure platform Kiln.

The feature lets Ledger users earn a passive income of 5% to 9.9% on USDC, USDT, USDS and DAI via several DeFi lending protocols, including Aave, Compound, Morpho, Sky and Spark, while maintaining self-custody.

Kiln operates as the backend, providing access to the protocols that users interact with via Ledger Live, Ledger VP of Consumer Services Jean-Francois Rochet told The Block.

Depositing assets into DeFi lending protocols, such as Aave, is currently the most popular way to earn yield on stablecoins. According to The Block's data dashboard, more than $2 billion in USDT has been borrowed on Ethereum alone.

However, instead of connecting their Ledger hardware to third-party web3 wallets and juggling multiple decentralized applications, Kiln abstracts away this complexity, enabling access to DeFi yields natively within the Ledger Live companion app, available on both desktop and mobile versions.

"Web3 browser wallets are typically insecure," Rochet said. "The direct integration offers enhanced security … without leaving the safety of Ledger Live or going through complex processes."

Ledger argues that the integration opens up access to DeFi returns in a more user-friendly way, including clear signing, a method of signing blockchain transactions so that the signed content is human-readable and easily verifiable.

Users simply enter the amount they wish to deposit and select the protocol with the desired APY from the dropdown, Rochet explained. However, the trade-off is that users receive slightly lower APYs than by going directly to the protocols, he acknowledged.

"Ledger is pioneering security-first yield generation in the DeFi space," the firm said in a statement. "More users than ever are entering crypto, and we're focused on making digital assets accessible without depending on insecure browser wallets or multiple dApps. With Ledger Live and Kiln, people now have transparent and easy solutions to earn rewards.  We're excited to see enhanced stablecoin capabilities made available to Ledger Live users."

Ledger claims that despite being some of the most widely used assets in crypto, only 4% of stablecoin holders currently earn yield on their USDC and USDT. "This integration unlocks stablecoin yield for users and grants full autonomy over digital assets, unlike centralized exchanges that take control and limit yields to dApp browsers," the firm said.

Close collaboration

Last year, Ledger and Kiln also teamed up to provide native access to liquid staking token restaking, enabling its users to restake assets on EigenLayer directly within the Ledger Live interface.

"Ledger has been a long-term partner of Kiln, and through our close collaboration, we have developed a deep understanding of the needs of their users," Kiln Co-Founder and CEO Laszlo Szabo said following the latest news. "Working together on the Kiln DeFi integration for Ledger is an exciting opportunity, and we're thrilled to help open up access to stablecoin rewards for millions of Ledger users."

The feature will offer yields on USDC and USDT initially, with DAI and USDS support rolling out later within Ledger Live. While Rochet said there is "definitely a plan to increase coverage," no specific additional assets are on the roadmap for now.

Ledger celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024 and claims that its devices secure over 20% of the world's crypto assets, having sold more than 7.5 million crypto hardware wallets to customers in 210 countries.

Kiln manages over $11 billion in crypto assets, operating around 4.5% of Ethereum's and 2.6% of Solana's total staked assets.

MASTERCARD AIMS TO POWER STABLECOINS FROM WALLETS TO MERCHANT ACCEPTANCE

Today Mastercard announced a ‘360-degree’ approach to stablecoins. It is positioning itself to service stablecoins much in the same way it does with card payments, to enable services for consumers, merchants and banks.

There’s much lobbying for position in the stablecoin sector, with 2025 predicted as the year that stablecoins move beyond crypto use cases. The race is on to see who can build the largest network of partners.

During the past week, Stripe announced it’s testing its new stablecoin solution based on the Bridge API for business payments. Citi forecast that stablecoins could reach a circulation of $1.6 trillion to $3.7 trillion by 2030. And Circle unveiled plans to launch the Circle Payments Network which aims to coordinate on and off-ramps, including collaborating with Deutsche Bank, Santander, Societe Generale and Standard Chartered.

Plus, in today’s announcement, Mastercard mentioned the potential for stablecoins to become ‘ubiquitous’. Last month startup Ubyx announced plans for a network for banks and fintechs to on and off-ramp an array of stablecoins, including smaller ones.

Mastercard’s range of stablecoin services

Turning to Mastercard’s announcement, it has already provided several of these stablecoin services for quite a while. It’s looking to expand its network of partners.

For consumers it makes stablecoins more user friendly by enabling crypto users to pay with stablecoins using Mastercard branded cards. Many crypto exchanges already provide cards, with OKX the latest to announce one.

On the merchant front, it is partnering with Nuvei and stablecoin issuers Circle and Paxos to enable support for merchants to accept stablecoins, whether or not the payment uses a card. The mention of Paxos is notable given a recent report by Coindesk that Visa plans to become a partner of the Paxos Global Dollar, although Visa hasn’t yet officially confirmed it. Paxos is also the issuer of PayPal’s PYUSD.

For crypto institutions, it provides the Mastercard crypto credential to support compliant remittances combined with user-friendly names.

Plus, Mastercard has the Mastercard Multi-Token Network (MTN), which aims to support an array of digital assets, not just stablecoins. MTN includes links to banks such as JP Morgan and Standard Chartered. So far it allows investors in assets such as Ondo Finance’s tokenized money market funds to on and off-ramp, but stablecoins are part of the plans.

“To realize its potential, we need to make it as easy for merchants to receive stablecoin payments and for consumers to use them,” said Jorn Lambert, chief product officer at Mastercard. “We believe in the potential of stablecoins to streamline payments and commerce across the value chain. Unlocking this is core to how we navigate the rapidly changing world, giving people and businesses the freedom they want by providing the choices they deserve.”

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 28 April 2025

Compiled Mon. 28 April 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Sun. 27 April 2025 BOMBSHELL: TRUMP ANNOUNCES PLAN TO ABOLISH INCOME TAX FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS — BONANZA FOR AMERICA BEGINS — GESARA & NESARA! …QFS on Telegram

Trump’s declaration today ripped through the old system like a storm through brittle walls. For over a century, Americans have been bound by invisible chains, forced to surrender a portion of their labor to the very forces working against them.

 But that ends now. The middle class, the true heartbeat of this nation, will no longer be drained by the parasitic elites, their corrupt tax schemes, and their globalist puppeteers. The IRS — once a weapon wielded against patriots — is being replaced by an entirely new structure: The External Revenue Service.

This system doesn’t look inward to punish Americans; it turns its gaze outward, demanding dues from those who have exploited American strength for far too long. The foreign profiteers, the globalist cartels, and the enemies of American prosperity — they will pay the bill.

Trump’s strategy is not just policy. It’s a shift in the entire balance of economic power. By moving the tax burden onto tariffs, he forces foreign interests to pay for their access to the American market while freeing millions of middle-class families from the shackles of tax slavery.

 It’s a complete dismantling of the system that has bled this country dry. The Deepstate is trembling — their financial control mechanisms are collapsing. Their lifelines are being cut. Trump’s move triggers the engines of GESARA and NESARA, setting into motion the long-awaited global economic reset that will return wealth and power to the people.

This isn’t a promise for tomorrow. The effects are already rumbling through the economy. Factories are firing back up, real jobs are being created — not government handouts or minimum-wage scraps, but genuine, wealth-building opportunities that support families and rebuild communities.

The globalist free-trade scam that gutted America’s heartland is being dismantled piece by piece. Trump isn’t just offering a vision. He’s building it now, brick by brick, job by job.

Sun. 27 April 2025 THREE MAJOR MILITARY OPERATIONS ARE IN MOTION: …JFK Awakening Q17 on Telegram

BLACK EAGLE targets the Vatican, City of London, and ancient Swiss vaults — (allegedly) recovering bullion stamped with pre-WWI seals, looted over centuries by monarchies and war financiers.

SOVEREIGN SWORD is dismantling the Digital Babylon Network — a satellite-linked web once used by the IMF, World Bank, and BIS to (allegedly) funnel trillions through dark channels into weapons labs and surveillance programs.

OPERATION IRON JUDGMENT is storming elite island compounds, exposing quantum-encrypted terminals not tied to SWIFT, (allegedly) used by the world’s most powerful families to control untouchable wealth.

All assets recovered are (allegedly) being integrated directly into the QFS. Not one dollar is being returned to the corrupt elite. The stolen wealth of the world is (allegedly) being reclaimed — not just as justice, but as restoration.

And now, the biggest shock of all — The Federal Reserve has (allegedly) been seized. Its links to the Treasury have been severed. Fiat printing is dead. All future currency will be asset-backed, and under NESARA provisions, all debt created through fraudulent lending systems is nullified — (allegedly) including mortgages, student loans, credit cards, and more. This is not a theory. This is the final phase.

Expect a full public announcement by July 4. The era of silent control is ending. The people are rising. And the QFS is the foundation of a future that cannot be corrupted. The storm is(allegedly)  not coming — the storm is now.

Militia Man   This is a time frame where Iraq is stabilizing their foreign reserves.  They've increased their gold up to 163 tons of gold.  We have assurances from the likes of Saleh, Al Sudani etc that they have a strong stable economy, they have a strong stable country with security and stability.  Hence all the investors are flocking in.

Another person is on the news saying the oil issues with prices will have no effect on the budget at this time and would have to drop to $50 to even consider any issues.  This is good news.  Apparently they must have a new exchange rate. We in the streets are asking where's article 12-2C relating to the oil not being published yet because the moment they show that to us they're going to release the new rate.  It's like they're still holding it back on purpose.  

This Is an Engineered Collapse! - Who’s REALLY Pulling the Strings? | Gregory Mannarino

Liberty and Finance:  4-27-2025

Trading coach Gregory Mannarino delivers a sobering critique of market manipulation, government incoherence, and the deep control exerted by global elites.

He argues that President Trump’s economic messaging and policy reversals—particularly around tariffs and interest rates—are driven by stock market pressures and orchestrated by unseen powers.

Mannarino warns of a systemic collapse fueled by debt, suppressed interest rates, and a looming shift to centralized digital control, while urging viewers to hold real assets like gold and silver.

He paints the current system as a deliberate “wrecking machine” targeting the middle class and small businesses in order to usher in a new order.

Despite the grim outlook, he calls for unity, spiritual reconnection, and grassroots resistance as paths to reclaiming individual sovereignty and truth.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Monday Morning 4-28-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

B️REAKING: XRP ETF APPROVED, BUT IT’S NOT SPOT ETF

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the first-ever XRP futures ETF, launched by ProShares. This ETF is expected to go live on April 30th, 2025. While it’s not a spot ETF — which tracks the actual price of XRP — it’s still a huge step forward for XRP’s recognition on Wall Street.

The ETF approval comes just a few years after Ripple, the company behind XRP, was locked in a long legal battle with the SEC. Now, XRP is moving from courtrooms to trading floors, joining the ranks of Bitcoin and Ethereum, which already have both futures and spot ETFs.

Some investors were unsure at first, asking, “Why futures and not spot?” But futures ETFs are often the first step. This was the path for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and experts believe a spot XRP ETF could be next. Futures trading allows big institutional investors to take positions on XRP, whether the market goes up or down — a common and healthy part of mature financial markets.

Experts called the approval a game-changer, pointing out that this move gives major players a way to legally and securely trade XRP.  And the good news doesn’t stop there. In Brazil, the XRP H11 ETF has just launched on the country’s main stock exchange, making it the first XRP-focused ETF in the world. This global momentum suggests XRP is no longer being left behind.

Just a few years ago, XRP was under heavy legal scrutiny. Now, it’s being listed on international exchanges, with regulated investment products opening the door for more adoption.

From being targeted by regulators to becoming a favorite of institutional investors — XRP is clearly turning the page.

FROM SWIFT TO SHANGHAI: BRICS JUST SEIZED GLOBAL SETTLEMENT POWER WITH DIGITAL GOLD | ANDY SCHECTMAN

 Andy outlines that BRICS just flipped the global financial system on its head. China’s digital RMB settlement system is now fully connected to 38% of global trade, allowing transactions to bypass SWIFT and the U.S. dollar entirely. Even more shocking—this new payment network is being expanded to non-member countries, quietly replacing the old financial order with a gold-linked system.

Tishwash:  Baghdad dollar declines due to exhibitions, real estate, or nuclear negotiations? 

Iraqi markets have recently witnessed a significant decline in the dollar exchange rate, reaching 1,440 dinars, after a period of highs and fluctuations amid Middle East tensions and US restrictions on Iraqi trade with sanctioned countries.

 The decline is contrary to expectations experienced by trading circles at the end of last year, which slightly disrupted the local economy. However, other experts who spoke to 964 Network attributed the almost sudden drop to a recession that has been looming for months in the Iraqi real estate and car markets, the largest domestic market for US currency trading.

This may mean a decline in large-scale money laundering operations led by influential parties, as discussed in political and economic circles. This is in addition to the decisions of US President Donald Trump, who imposed large customs tariffs on China, which led to higher commodity prices in the United States, increased inflation, and harmed the dollar's position globally.

Experts also noted that the return of Washington and Tehran to negotiations has contributed to reducing demand for the dollar in Iraq, as the exchange rate fluctuation is primarily due to informal trade between Iraq and Iran. However, successful negotiations and the easing of the pressure on the Iranian banking system will ease the pressure on the Iraqi dollar.

Experts do not rule out another factor: the Central Bank's recent restrictions on Visa and MasterCard cards, which have contributed to limiting the withdrawal of dollars at the official exchange rate and their subsequent sale on the black market.

Mustafa Akram Hantoush, financial expert:

The dollar exchange rate should not exceed 1,320, even on the parallel market. The central bank sells dollars daily at this rate, exceeding $250 million. However, there are discrepancies. Any requests outside the central bank's platform are not covered, most notably trade with Iran, small traders, and the smuggling of some goods through Kurdistan. This trade is not officially covered, and therefore traders buy them from the parallel market.

Iranian situation negotiations

There are now negotiations in Iran. If they succeed and the noose is lifted on its banking system, this will ease the pressure on the Iraqi dollar, thus lowering the parallel exchange rate.

The solution lies in creating a genuine platform for financial transactions with Iran. Small traders must be covered by specialized companies that handle their needs, while smuggling must be stopped and the sanctioned countries that travelers visit must be addressed.

Khaled Haidar - Academic:

The Iraqi economy is linked to the global economy and its revenues depend on oil, which is priced in US dollars.

Trump and the American market

The US economy is currently experiencing a decline in retail sales, particularly after tariffs on countries, particularly China. This has had a significant impact on the US economy, with imported goods prices rising, inflation rates doubling, confidence in the US economy weakening, and interest rates declining. This, in turn, has impacted growth prospects.

Today's global economy is gradually beginning to rely on other currencies, such as the BRICS blocs, creating new influential poles on the global map.

Today, there is a degree of confidence in the Central Bank's performance regarding the dollar, particularly since it has restricted electronic transactions using cards used by travelers to obtain dollars at a low rate, then withdraw them abroad at the parallel market rate, profiting from the difference upon their return to Iraq and reselling them. This measure has greatly reduced fraud and dollar withdrawals.

There's also a trend today toward trading in gold, and its prices continue to rise, as it has become a safe haven and a better alternative to the dollar. Many are choosing to keep their capital in the form of gold bullion, which has affected confidence in the dollar and impacted its value.

Nabil Jabbar Al-Tamimi, economic expert, to 964 Network :

There are no political reasons for this decline, and it is within the normal range of fluctuations, given that the dollar previously reached 1,400 and then rose to over 1,500. Furthermore, there is no major event currently affecting the price, and the central bank's measures remain unchanged.

Iraqi real estate and car market stagnant!

Iraq is currently experiencing a recession in the car and real estate markets. This is primarily due to the fact that car dealers deal exclusively in dollars, not dinars. Furthermore, companies importing electric cars have emerged, and these companies are enjoying great popularity among Iraqis, in addition to accepting dinars.

Neglecting the dollar-denominated side of the market, whether in the auto or real estate markets, has led to a decline in demand for the dollar. This decline is relative, not exceeding 2.5% or 3%.

The tariffs imposed by Trump have not affected Iraq, and there is no connection between them. Regarding the negotiations between Iran and the US, in the event of tensions, demand for the dollar is expected to increase, and the rise in the price in Tehran is expected to be reflected in the Iraqi dollar, given the presence of unofficial transfers, which we have not witnessed. Furthermore, the existence of measures related to MasterCard cards and withdrawal transactions is expected to raise the price, because restricting cards stifles the markets, thus raising trading prices on the black market, but the opposite has happened.

The decline is due to internal factors. About six months ago, a clear recession began in the dollar-denominated auto and real estate markets. This recession reduced demand for the currency.

Ammar Hamad, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, stated to the official newspaper, as monitored by 964 Network:

The improvement in the Iraqi dinar's exchange rate against the dollar in local markets is due to the Central Bank's recent policy and the country's substantial financial reserves.

The decline will continue in the coming periods.  link

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

FEDERAL TAXES TO BE 'SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED' ONCE TARIFFS SET IN: TRUMP

The US President previously floated the idea of eliminating the federal income tax altogether and replacing it with import duty revenues.

United States President Donald Trump recently said that federal income taxes would be "substantially reduced" or potentially eliminated once the tariff regime fully sets in.

In an April 27 Truth Social post, Trump added that the focus of the purported tax cuts would be on individuals making less than $200,000 per year.

The US President also said that the "External Revenue Service" — a reference to funding the federal government exclusively through import tariffs instead of the current model of collecting taxes through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) — is materializing.

Eliminating the federal income tax would likely be a positive catalyst for asset prices, including cryptocurrencies, as the increase in disposable income should partially flow back into productive investments. However, this stimulative effect is not guaranteed.

Trump’s plan leaves analysts and markets doubting

Trump previously floated the idea of eliminating the federal income tax in an October 2024 appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, although Trump, who was on the campaign trail at the time, provided scant concrete details on the proposal.

The US President suggested that replacing the federal income tax with revenue from import duties would return the US to a time of prosperity seen during the Gilded Age, in the 19th century, when the US did not have a permanent federal income tax.

Research conducted by accounting automation company Dancing Numbers found that Trump's proposal could save the average American $134,809 in lifetime tax payments.

Dancing Numbers added that the tax savings could be as much as $325,561 per American if other wage-based income taxes are also eliminated.

On April 2, Trump signed an executive order imposing sweeping tariffs on all US trading partners, which included a 10% baseline tariff on all countries and different "reciprocal" tariff rates on countries with import duties on US goods.

However, since that time, the Trump administration walked back its tariff policies several times, flip-flopping on tariff rates and when the tariff regime would fully take effect.

The Trump administration's ever-changing rhetoric surrounding trade policies has heightened volatility in the US stock market, caused a rise in US bond yields, and has drawn widespread criticism from financial analysts who say the protectionist trade policies hurt capital markets while achieving little else.

BRICS: US SANCTIONS FAIL AS RUSSIA’S ECONOMY GROWS 4.1%

The US pressed sanctions on Russia in February 2022 after they invaded and waged war on their neighboring country Ukraine. The sanctions were aimed at stalling Russia’s growth and bringing its overall economy and GDP down. Russia teamed up with the BRICS alliance and the bloc kick-started the de-dollarization agenda to counter the US sanctions.

The BRICS bloc rewrote trade deals allowing Russia to send and accept local currencies for trade and cross-border transactions. China, India, and Saudi Arabia made use of the US sanctions and procured Russian oil and discounted prices. Saudi Arabia even brought Russian crude oil for a concession and laundered it all over Europe earning bigger profits.

BRICS member India even saved $7 billion in foreign exchange by buying Russia’s crude oil at cheaper prices due to the sanctions. Therefore, the BRICS bloc mostly benefitted from the US sanctions saving and earning billions in development. They even pushed local currencies ahead for trade strengthening their businesses and overall GDP.

BRICS: Russia’s Economy Grows 4.1% Despite US Sanctions

Trade restrictions could not stop BRICS member Russia’s growth as it immediately kick-started the de-dollarization agenda. The move helped the country navigate through troubled times and simultaneously gained the support of developing countries. “Over the past two years, the Russian economy grew by 4.1%,” said Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu.

The latest data shows that BRICS member Russia’s economy comfortably sat above 4% despite the US sanctions.

2023: 4.1%
2024: 4.3%
2025 (Projection): 2.5%

Shoigu explained that BRICS member Russia’s banking system demonstrated remarkable resilience during the US sanctions. “Russia’s external and internal debt has diminished. Its financial and banking systems demonstrated resilience,” he said. 

The diplomat added, “The external trade also retained its positive dynamics. Despite sanctions, the past year’s trade grew by $3.8 billion, to over $716 billion. Proficit of the balance of foreign trade gained $7 billion, reaching approximately $146 billion.”
