UK DECIDES TO ALIGN WITH US RATHER THAN EU OVER CRYPTO REGULATION: INTRODUCES NEW RULES

Amidst fear of losing ground to global fintech hubs, the UK has announced new draft regulations for the crypto sector.

On 29 April 2025, Finance Minister Rachel Reeves said, “Through our Plan for Change, we are making Britain the best place in the world to innovate – and the safest place for consumers. Robust rules around crypto will boost investor confidence, support the growth of Fintech and protect people across the UK.”

The UK government is now introducing compulsory regulation for crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents.

Importantly, the UK has decided to align with the US, treating crypto assets as securities. This marks a departure from the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, which took effect in December 2024.

“The Chancellor also revealed that the UK and US will use the upcoming UK – US Financial Regulatory Working Group to continue engagement to support the use and responsible growth of digital assets,” the UK government website said.

The government aims to finalize the legislation by the end of 2025.

UK’s Clear New Rules To Boost Investor Confidence

Furthermore, the Chancellor also revealed that discussions with the US about supporting the use and responsible growth of digital assets are underway, as the government works in national interest to drive growth through Plan for Change.

The Chancellor also announced that the government will publish the first-ever Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy on 15 July, alongside her Mansion House speech. This will support the financial services sector’s long term growth, with Fintech identified as a priority sector, and help it finance investment and growth across the UK.

Around 12% of UK adults now own or have owned crypto, up from just 4% in 2021.

Industry Leaders Urge UK To Address Urgent Concerns Around Regulation, Funding, Innovation

Despite the government’s efforts, several fintech and crypto executives have expressed concern that the UK is losing its competitive edge.

“I think the UK will get it right — but there is a risk if you get it wrong that you drive innovation to other markets,” Keith Grose, Coinbase’s UK head, revealed CNBC on 30 April 2025.

Meanwhile, Jaidev Janardana, CEO of digital bank Zopa, weighed in too. “If I consider the pace of innovation, I believe the US is currently ahead – despite its own set of challenges. Yet, when you look at places like Singapore and Hong Kong, there is significantly faster innovation,” he said.

Tim Levene, CEO of venture capital firm Augmentum Fintech, said, “We’re scrambling around looking for pots of capital in the UK, where currently it would be more fruitful to go to the Gulf, to go to the US, to go to Australia, or elsewhere in Asia, and that that doesn’t feel right.”

BRICS MAY PUSH GOLD PRICE TO $6,000 AS US TRADE WAR TALKS PERSIST

With continued geopolitical unrest, the rush to haven assets has been an undeniable reality. That could benefit one economic alliance that has sought out a US dollar alternative for much of the last year. Indeed, the BRICS alliance may push the gold price to heights of $6,000 as talks of an impending US trade war persist.

Since its unveiling of sweeping global tariffs in early April, tension between the US and China has reached a fever pitch. Moreover, that has created increased conflict within the alliance itself, as the group has recently failed to deliver a joint statement. Yet, all eyes are on gold, as the developments could only fuel the asset that BRICS nations have purchased rampantly throughout the last year.

BRICS May Push Gold to New Heights Amid US Tensions

Since he emerged victorious in the 2025 US presidential election, Donald Trump has expressed his issues with the BRICS alliance. He threatened 150% tariffs on the bloc for their role in global de-dollarization efforts. Although that didn’t come to fruition, China is facing import duty increases of up to 245% amid its recent roll-out of America-first trade policies.

These could only strengthen the Global South collective, however, as the policy reshapes the international economy. Indeed, the BRICS bloc may push the gold price to $6,000 as talks of a US trade war persist.

US Global Investors CEO and executive chairman of Hive Digital Technologies, Frank Holmes, recently discussed gold’s potential. “I think the goal should be going to $6,000 over the term for President Trump,” Holmes said. “If the tariffs go up 25%, then the dollar has to go down 25%,” Holmes added.

The expert was articulating the reality that the ongoing economic policy and the greenback have an adverse relationship. Since he entered office, the US dollar has plummeted 10% over the first 100 days of Trump. Moreover, BRICS, and China specifically, have ramped up gold buying.

The People’s Bank of China has been the largest covering buyer of gold for more than five straight months. Moreover, in Q1 alone, it added 27 tonnes to its reserves, making it the largest holder in modern history. Trading at the $3,300 level, there is room for the asset to skyrocket, especially if the Trump tariff plan is resumed in the coming month.

Henig:  LNG, aircraft, agriculture contracts with US must be done in May: PM

April 29, 2025 - 17:00

Việt Nam is also working closely with ASEAN and regional partners to conduct negotiations in a manner that ensures harmonised interests and a sustainable, balanced trade relationship, in line with the ASEAN–US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. HÀ NỘI —

Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính on Tuesday chaired a meeting in Hà Nội with ministries and relevant agencies to review preparations for bilateral trade negotiations with the United States.

This was the sixth cabinet meeting regarding the implementation of conclusions and directives issued by the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and General Secretary Tô Lâm on adapting to the US’ new tariff policies, in which Việt Nam is subject to a 46 per cent rate.

 PM Chính stated that Việt Nam had recently implemented a wide range of active and coordinated measures. Ministries and sectors have engaged with the highest sense of responsibility. The results so far are heading in a positive direction, yet the situation remains complex, requiring agencies to closely monitor developments, respond promptly and effectively, and address issues within their jurisdiction in a proactive, practical, and feasible manner.

Vietnamese agencies have been making great efforts to address issues related to the origin of goods, non-tariff barriers, intellectual property, copyright, and administrative procedure reduction.

 PM Chính has instructed ministries and sectors to be proactive in working with the US, clearly explaining the issues of US concern that Việt Nam has been addressing.

He urged the swift negotiation and signing, by May 2025, of contracts for the purchase and import of goods from the United States, such as LNG, aircraft, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and agricultural products, to ensure a sustainable trade balance.

 PM Chính emphasised that negotiations must be conducted with calmness, determination, and great flexibility – avoiding either perfectionism or haste – while safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and interests.

 The negotiations must also honour Việt Nam’s international commitments, ensuring no one objective is pursued at the expense of another party or country, and adhering to the principle of “harmonised interests, shared risks”.

He requested Vietnamese agencies to engage in dialogue with the US so that both sides could reduce tariffs on each other’s goods to mutually appropriate levels. He also called on the US to soon recognise Việt Nam as a market economy and lift restrictions on the export of high-tech goods.

These measures would contribute to trade balance and technology transfer, while reflecting US’s support for a strong, independent, self-reliant, and prosperous Việt Nam. Việt Nam will continue to revise its legal framework to address US’ concerns, while ensuring sovereignty, fulfilling international commitments, and maintaining compatibility with the legal systems of both countries.

The Government leader noted that Việt Nam had recently focused on amending numerous laws. At the upcoming ninth session of the National Assembly, the Government will submit proposals to amend laws related to intellectual property, copyright protection, and administrative procedure reform to better reflect the current context.

Việt Nam is also working closely with ASEAN and regional partners to conduct negotiations in a manner that ensures harmonised interests and a sustainable, balanced trade relationship, in line with the ASEAN–US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. PM Chính instructed each relevant ministry and agency to develop specific negotiation plans, and tasked the Ministry of Industry and Trade with consolidating and finalising these plans by April 30. — VNS LINK

Militia Man   Article: ..."the country's massive financial reserves are one of the main reasons behind the improvement in the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar.  We expect the dinar's value to continue to improve in the coming period."  That' kind of a heads up without saying, 'Hey, we're revaluing our currency!' But they did say we expect the dinar's value to continue to improve in the coming period...

When Trump is Finished, Federal Reserve will be Insignificant, Long Live Gold and Bitcoin

Bob begins the conversation talking about how Germany is going to block out the sun, which means solar power will not work they way they said it will to power the country.

Gold and Bitcoin are making moves as the fiat currency implodes on itself.

Oil is going to come down to counter the tariff temp price increase, but when the temp price increase is gone because companies are paying for it people are going to see prices come down.

In the end the Federal Reserve will be insignificant.

COINBASE URGES SUPREME COURT TO WEIGH IN OVER IRS'S ACCESS TO CUSTOMER DATA

▪️Coinbase said the Supreme Court should clarify the third-party doctrine, which says that people who give information to third parties, such as banks, should not have an expectation of privacy.

▪️Others have filed amicus briefs, including billionaire Elon Musk, the Cato Institute, and the DeFi Education Fund.

Coinbase urged the U.S. Supreme Court to consider a case involving the Internal Revenue Service that it says "sets a dangerous precedent" surrounding customers' personal data.

The crypto exchange said the Supreme Court should clarify the third-party doctrine, which says that people who give information to third parties, such as banks, should not have an expectation of privacy.

"This Court’s guidance is especially important here because this case involves a new technology—blockchain— that is particularly susceptible to surveillance abuse," the firm said in an amicus brief filed on Wednesday with the Supreme Court.

The IRS demanded records from Coinbase almost a decade ago from thousands of its customers, including information involving security settings, transactions, and correspondence. The company pushed back, but a district court later said Coinbase had to comply, but narrowed the IRS's search according to the filing.

In 2020, petitioner James Harper, a Coinbase customer, filed a suit against the IRS for its role in the alleged unlawful seizure of information that identified him as a crypto holder.

Now it's up to the Supreme Court to decide if it wants to take Harper's case up. Others have filed amicus briefs, including billionaire Elon Musk, the Cato Institute, and the DeFi Education Fund.

Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal said the company supports complying with tax rules, but said the IRS went too far.

"We believe in tax compliance, but this goes far beyond a narrow and tailored request and far beyond crypto," Grewal said Wednesday in a post on X. "This applies to banks, phone companies, ISPs, email, you name it. As we explain here, you should have the same right to privacy for your inbox or account as you have for a letter in your mailbox."

ZIMBABWE REINTRODUCES GOLD COINS SALE TO STRENGTHEN CURRENCY RESERVES

 https://goldseek.com/article/zimbabwe-reintroduces-gold-coins-sale-strengthen-currency-reserves

As gold prices skyrocket, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has resumed issuing gold coins.

The central bank introduced the coins in June 2022. The program was touted as a way for investors to store value in the face of rampant inflation. At the time, a Zimbabwean brokerage firm analyst told Al Jazeera that the coin was a “welcome development.”

“For a long time, the market did not have many investment options, and this is a new asset class. The thinking was inspired by the need to come up with an instrument that addresses the inflation problems in the economy, where purchasing power has been eroded. From what we are gathering, this is going to be a store value.”

He went on to say that the fundamentals of gold help it hedge against inflation and geopolitical risk, and that the gold coins would open the gold market to “ordinary investors.”

The RBZ suspended the sale of the coins 10 months ago, but they are now being reintroduced through local banks.

Fidelity Gold Refineries (Private) Limited mints the 22-carat "Mosi-Oa-Tunya" coin. It is available in various sizes, ranging from 1/10 ounce to 1 ounce.

The Zimbabwe central bank owns Fidelity Gold Refineries (Private) Limited, and it operates as the only gold-buying and refining entity in the country.

RBZ monetary policy committee member Persistence Gwanyanya told Bloomberg that the reintroduction of the gold coins comes at a time when “gold is more attractive to the market,” and that the move “supports our value preservation efforts.”

“We are taking advantage of firm gold prices and re-injecting the gold coins into the market.”

According to the Bloomberg article, the hope is that resuming gold coin sales will “ramp up the bullion stockpile used to back up the local currency, the ZiG.”

You might be wondering how selling gold increases a bullion stockpile.

The answer is it doesn't. Bloomberg seems to be oversimplifying a monetary policy scheme that will increase the reserves backing the ZiG, but won't increase the country's gold reserves specifically.

Mnt Goat   We witnessed so many banking and financial reforms in the past couple years...an article from...(April 15th)...once again telling us the black market (parallel market) may soon be completely gone come this June 2025...the remaining 5% of the cash payments for imports will be moved over also to the correspondent banks, as was the other 95% last December 2024. This will finally kill the remaining 5% of the black market. Hurrah, hurrah! This had to be done and the CBI told us this years ago. It is about to be reality...it is finally going to be done...This is going to happen suddenly and when you least expect it. They are almost there now. 

Militia Man  It's amazing to see how far the central bank has come.  They're in line with the global markets and they're going to have what I believe is to be inner connectivity...Iraq's ability to move away from the parallel market has been epic...95% of all transactions are outside of the parallel market.

FED Guts Stress Tests as Big Banks Win, Depositors Lose

Taylor Kenny:  4-29-2025

The same banking giants responsible for the 2008 financial crisis are quietly reshaping regulations—again.

But this time, the threat isn’t bad mortgages; it’s U.S. Treasuries, consumer debt, and weakened bank stress testing. At the center of this shift is the Federal Reserve, and vocal support from banking leaders like Jamie Dimon.

 For anyone with money in a U.S. bank, this change could be devastating.

A New Gold Standard, Evidence and Path to $10,000 Gold Intensifies

A New Gold Standard, Evidence and Path to $10,000 Gold Intensifies

Mike Maloney:  4-29-2025

The global economic landscape is constantly shifting, but recent murmurings suggest a seismic change could be on the horizon: a return to a gold-backed monetary system.

 In a provocative new discussion, economist and precious metals expert Mike Maloney presents compelling evidence suggesting this shift is not only possible, but increasingly likely.

This potential reordering of the global financial system could have profound implications for everyone, making it crucial to understand the driving forces behind it.

Maloney’s analysis points to several key indicators, starting with potentially unexpected sources. He highlights documented instances of Donald Trump advocating for gold-centric economic strategies, suggesting a possible long-term vision for a gold-backed dollar.

 While this idea might seem radical to some, Maloney argues it aligns with a growing sentiment among certain economic circles.

Beyond political rhetoric, Maloney delves into what he perceives as crucial “behind-the-scenes” maneuvers. He suggests the U.S. Treasury, along with global elites, are quietly preparing for a significant change to the monetary system. While concrete proof remains elusive, the implications of such preparations are significant.

One of the strongest arguments for a potential return to gold lies in the surging global flows of the precious metal. Nations are increasingly stockpiling gold reserves, a trend that historically signifies a move away from reliance on fiat currencies.

 This accumulation can be seen as a hedge against economic uncertainty and a preparation for a world where gold plays a more central role in monetary stability.

Further fueling the speculation is the activity surrounding COMEX, the world’s largest commodity futures exchange. Maloney argues that preparations within COMEX point to an awareness of a potential financial crisis and a need to manage a surge in demand for physical gold.

This heightened activity, coupled with historical precedent, paints a picture of a system bracing for a significant disruption.

History provides valuable lessons in understanding these trends. Throughout history, periods of economic instability have often led to a renewed interest in gold as a store of value.

As fiat currencies fluctuate and lose purchasing power, the tangible nature and inherent value of gold become increasingly attractive.

 Maloney uses historical examples to illustrate the potential pitfalls of relying solely on fiat currencies and the stabilizing role gold can play in a turbulent economy.

So, what does all this mean for the average individual? Maloney suggests that a return to a gold-backed monetary system could trigger a massive wealth transfer.

Those who are prepared and positioned to understand the transition could potentially benefit significantly, while those who are unprepared risk being left behind.

Ultimately, the question remains: will we witness a return to a gold-backed monetary system?

While definitive answers are impossible to provide, the evidence presented by Maloney and others suggests that the possibility is far from negligible. Understanding these trends, analyzing the data, and taking proactive steps to protect your financial future could be crucial in navigating the potential economic shifts ahead.

 It’s time to consider: will you be positioned for what could be the greatest wealth transfer of our lifetime?

BRICS:  INDIA SEEKS TO BE A MAJOR REPLACEMENT SUPPLIER TO THE US IN TRADE

India hopes to establish a new deal with the US on trade quickly, as the country seeks to become a major replacement supplier in areas vacated by China in trade. 

New Delhi says its prepared to include a sweetener in trade talks with the US that would “future-proof” a deal by ensuring no other trade partners could have superior terms. “This clause, in a sense, future-proofs the U.S. deal and is the only way to do so,” one of the officials said.

Indian government officials are pushing for the deal to be accepted by the Trump Administration as soon as possible. Despite the tensions between the nation and the BRICS alliance, the US and India have been in revised trade talks for months.

The potential US-India trade deal represents a significant step forward in bilateral economic relations between the two nations. Secretary Bessent’s statements this week and India’s latest proposal suggest that negotiators have already made substantial progress in these ongoing discussions.

Right now, the US actively pursues trade agreements with several Asian nations as well. The Treasury Secretary provided some additional insight into these diplomatic efforts during his recent CNBC interview on Monday. Bessent stated: “The U.S. had also held very substantial negotiations with Japan, and discussions with other Asian trading partners were going well.”

India has already made several offers and pre-emptive concessions to the U.S. on trade, showing itself more eager than several other big U.S. trading partners. Unlike China, Canada, and the European Union, India has been very supportive of the Trump administration and has established a solid partnership. Furthermore, the country also wants to avoid the proposed 26% tariff on itself from the US.

EU SECURITIES WATCHDOG ESMA ISSUES GUIDELINES TO COMBAT MARKET ABUSE IN CRYPTO ASSETS UNDER MICA

On April 29, 2025, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published guidelines to enhance supervisory practices for preventing and detecting market abuse in crypto assets under the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA).

Tailored for National Competent Authorities (NCAs), the guidelines draw on ESMA’s experience with the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and address the unique aspects of crypto trading, such as its cross-border nature and heavy reliance on social media.

 They emphasize risk-based, proportionate supervision and aim to foster a unified supervisory culture through industry dialogue and NCA collaboration.

The guidelines will be translated into all EU languages, take effect three months after publication, and require NCAs to confirm compliance within two months, though ESMA encourages immediate adoption of the principles.

Tishwash:  The Central Bank announces the launch of the Arab Financial Inclusion Week 2025.

Under the slogan "Promoting the Integration of People of Determination and Vulnerable Groups into the Formal Financial System," Financial Inclusion Week activities in Iraq kicked off this morning, Sunday, April 27, and will continue until May 5 of this year.

These activities are in line with the Central Bank of Iraq's efforts to promote financial inclusion in society and raise financial and banking awareness among various segments of society, especially those least benefiting from formal financial services. This will contribute to supporting economic and social development and achieving sustainability.

The week's activities include organizing workshops, exhibitions, direct awareness campaigns, and field trips aimed at spreading financial literacy across bank branches and financial institutions spread across all governorates. Activities will also be organized outside the branches in coordination with the Association of Islamic Banks, the Association of Private Commercial Banks, and the "We Will Reach You" and "Spare You" campaigns approved by the Central Bank.

Tishwash:  To support small and medium-sized enterprises, a financing partnership was signed with the German Development Bank.

The Ministry of Planning announced today, Tuesday, the signing of a strategic financing partnership between the International Labor Organization and Iraqi financial institutions, within the framework of the Small and Medium Enterprises Development and Enhancement Project, funded by the German Development Bank (KfW).

Sabah Jundi Mansour, Director General of Economic and Financial Policies at the Ministry of Planning, explained in a statement received by Kalima News that "the importance of this partnership lies in supporting economic policies that focus on creating sustainable job opportunities and enhancing social protection, especially for vulnerable groups," noting that "the project represents a practical step toward activating responsible investment and linking financing tools to fair and comprehensive development policies." 

He pointed to "the role of Iraqi financial institutions in embracing qualitative cooperation with the International Labour Organization, which will enhance financial inclusion and open new horizons for entrepreneurship and local development."

Tishwash:  Due to the drop in oil prices, the Iraqi government is considering canceling the 2025 budget.

An Iraqi cabinet source said on Wednesday that the government is considering canceling the 2025 budget due to the drop in oil prices, which has increased the country's fiscal deficit .

The source told Shafaq News Agency, "The Council of Ministers did not formally discuss the budget schedules in its previous sessions, and Finance Minister Taif Sami informed the Council of Ministers that there is a large deficit in the budget schedules ."

He added, "Under current conditions, there will be no budget this year due to the decline in oil prices, which has directly impacted financial revenues and increased the deficit in the 2025 budget ."

The source explained that "if the budget is cancelled, Finance Minister Taif Sami may issue a decision to release bonuses and promotions for state employees that were halted and delayed due to the budget."

On April 16, the Parliamentary Finance Committee warned against adjusting the price of a barrel of oil in the Iraqi federal general budget due to the decline in global oil prices .

Committee member Jamal Kocher told Shafaq News Agency, "The price of a barrel of oil was set in the general budget law at $70 per barrel. At the time, the price of a barrel of oil was more than $70. It is not yet known whether the government has adjusted the price of a barrel of oil in the budget or not ."

Kocher pointed out that "the Iraqi state's operating budget is only 90 trillion dinars, and if the price of a barrel of oil falls below $60 and this is not addressed, this will lead the country to enter a financial crisis, and the government will spend the financial revenue from oil on employee salaries only   link

HISTORIC: AI WILL BEGIN DEVELOPING LAWS IN THE UAE

The government of the UAE has launched what it calls the first AI-based legislative system, allowing synthetic agents to develop laws and monitor their effects through big data analysis.

UAE Enables AI Interaction in Lawmaking With New Smart Legislative System

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to penetrate all aspects of human life, and governance is next. On April 14, the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) approved the implementation of what the media is calling the first AI-powered legislative system, paving the way for the proposal of law projects with significant synthetic participation.

The system will link all judicial rulings to their established jurisdictions, creating a map that connects these rulings with AI elements. As a participant in this system, the AI will be able to monitor these developments and study the effects of regulations in each jurisdiction with the help of this map.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the UAE and a member of the cabinet that approved this development, expects AI to significantly improve the legislative process in the UAE.

In this regard, he stated:

"The new AI-based legislation system will create a qualitative shift in the legislative cycle, its speed, and its accuracy, ensuring our national legislative excellence and keeping our laws in line with best practices and the highest aspirations."

Al Maktoum also highlighted that the system will be able to propose legislative amendments on an ongoing basis, supported by the analysis of their effects using big data and statistics. Official reports stated that the expectation is for this tool to enhance the efficiency of the legislative process and accelerate the legislative issuance cycle by up to 70%.

This new approach to legislation will also create new roles for AI agents, such as legislative researchers, legislative editors, and legislative monitors.

However, neither the technical details of the implementation nor the models to be used for this system were specified by UAE authorities.

US SENATE MAJORITY LEADER EXPECTS STABLECOIN VOTE BEFORE MAY 26 — REPORT

Lawmakers in the US Senate will reportedly move forward with a vote on the GENIUS stablecoin bill before the Memorial Day holiday.

US Senate Majority Leader John Thune reportedly told Republican lawmakers that the chamber would address a bill on stablecoin regulation before the May 26 Memorial Day holiday.

According to an April 29 Politico report, Thune made the comments in a closed-door meeting with Republican senators, who hold a slim majority in the chamber. 

The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins, or GENIUS Act, was introduced by Senator Bill Hagerty in February and passed the Senate Banking Committee in March.

Thune did not mention any crypto or blockchain-related bills in his public comments on US President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office. Since his Jan. 20 inauguration, Trump has signed several executive orders with the potential to affect US crypto policy, including one affecting stablecoins. Still, many of the actions do not carry the force of law without an act of Congress.

The proposed GENIUS bill could essentially restrict any entity other than a “permitted payment stablecoin issuer” from issuing a payment stablecoin in the United States. 

The House of Representatives, also controlled by Republicans, has proposed a companion bill to the legislation: the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy, or STABLE Act.

Trump accused of conflicts of interest over stablecoins, crypto ventures

The president’s executive order, signed on Jan. 23, established a working group to study the potential creation and maintenance of a national crypto stockpile and a regulatory framework for stablecoins. Republican lawmakers followed by introducing the STABLE and GENIUS acts.

Trump also introduced the order before World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm backed by the president’s family, launched its US-dollar pegged USD1 stablecoin.

 Many Democratic lawmakers said that Trump’s ties to the firm, coupled with his political influence and position, could present an “extraordinary conflict of interest that could create unprecedented risks to our financial system” as Congress considers the two stablecoin bills.

Gold Is Replacing The US Dollar | Michael Pento

Liberty and Finance:  4-28-2025

Michael Pento argues that the stock market remains overvalued despite clear signs of economic distress.

He warns that inflation and supply shortages pose serious threats, while the real estate market is weakening under the pressure of rising mortgage rates and growing inventory.

Pento emphasizes that both retail and institutional investors often react emotionally and irrationally, especially during downturns.

Notably, he states that gold is beginning to supplant the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency, reflecting a loss of confidence in American monetary policy.

 Given the Federal Reserve’s limited ability to stabilize the economy, Pento advocates for proactive and strategic investing in a market that may not follow historical recovery patterns.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

VISA, STRIPE, AND MASTERCARD DRIVE STABLECOIN GROWTH IN 2025

▪️Stablecoins are transitioning from a crypto niche to a significant force in global finance.

▪️Major financial firms like Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe are actively integrating stablecoin technology.

▪️Stablecoin transaction volumes now surpass Visa's, indicating rapid mainstream adoption.

Stripe Embrace Stablecoins

There’s no denying the shift – traditional finance is embracing stablecoins. Visa has launched its Tokenized Asset Platform to help manage stablecoins and tokenized deposits. Stripe, meanwhile, is testing stablecoin payments to make it easier for businesses outside the US and EU to access US dollars.

Mastercard has introduced features that allow consumers to spend in stablecoins and merchants to receive payments in these digital currencies worldwide.

Stablecoin Market Overview

The stablecoin market is booming, with a total market cap of $243.1 billion, according to Coingecko. Tether (USDT), USDC, and USDS lead the charge, with market caps of $148 billion, $62 billion, and $7.6 billion, respectively. In terms of transaction volume, Tether dominates with over $51 billion, followed by USDC with $11 billion.

Stablecoin Transaction Volume Surpasses Visa

In an impressive shift, stablecoins now process more transactions on a weekly basis than Visa. This signals their growing influence in the global financial system and suggests they’re quickly becoming a mainstream financial tool that challenges traditional payment networks.

The Future of Stablecoins: What’s Next?

Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya predicts that the stablecoin sector will see significant growth throughout 2025, with US dollar-backed stablecoins emerging as the biggest winners. He believes these stablecoins will become a core component of the global financial system, further solidifying their position in the market.

CIRCLE SECURES USDC REGULATORY NOD IN ABU DHABI, ENTERS TECH ECOSYSTEM

Circle's FSRA approval in Abu Dhabi sets stage for significant USDC expansion across the Middle East and Africa.

Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has secured initial approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) in Abu Dhabi.

The approval, announced on April 29, allows Circle to move closer to receiving a full Financial Services Permission (FSP) to operate within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).

This progress comes just months after Circle’s incorporation in ADGM in December 2024. It marks a significant step in the stablecoin issuer’s plan to offer compliant financial services across the Middle East and Africa (MEA).

Circle stated that the approval strengthens its position as a trusted player in the expanding world of regulated digital finance.

The firm continued that the move would allow it to expand the reach of USDC, the second-largest US dollar-pegged stablecoin by market capitalization, throughout the Middle East.

According to the firm, this would significantly boost USDC’s adoption in a region increasingly turning toward digital assets and adequately compete against Tether’s USDT, the largest stablecoin by market cap.

Circle’s CEO, Jeremy Allaire, said:

“[This creates] new pathways for investment and innovation in the region. It also underscores Circle’s enduring commitment to global stablecoin oversight—strengthening trust, compliance, and adoption worldwide, while laying a resilient foundation for the internet financial system.”

Collaboration with Hub71 to boost innovation

Beyond its regulatory success, Circle has partnered with Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s leading global tech ecosystem.

This partnership is focused on promoting digital asset innovation and strengthening the region’s fintech infrastructure.

Circle will work with Hub71 to tap into ADGM’s digital regulatory sandbox, a framework designed to test and support new financial technologies. The collaboration will give fintech founders access to grants, funding networks, and opportunities to scale their businesses.

Additionally, Circle will become part of Hub71’s Digital Assets Specialist ecosystem. This growing community includes more than 500 tech startups and venture capital partners.

Ahmad Ali Alwan, CEO of Hub71, said:

“Circle’s expertise will enrich our digital assets ecosystem, providing Hub71 founders with greater access to resources, mentorship, and growth opportunities. Through this partnership, we are enabling the adoption of leading digital financial infrastructure that supports startup growth and drives the evolution of Web3 and digital finance from Abu Dhabi.”

A Gold Standard Golden Age

Digger Barr: A Gold Standard Golden Age

4-29-2025

By Digger Barr   gaiasgardens.guru/

In the financial side of things how is everyone doing?

Once again it is difficult to know whether things are getting better or not.
People on the streets of America share information by very some very basic markers.
How much is gas today? How much did you pay for lunch?
And the latest fun focal point, how much are eggs?

Across a state, across the country or even just across town we can check and see who is selling what at what price. The egg thing cracks me up, because now that Easter is passed, eggs are plentiful because everyone stocked up, or have found alternatives and no one is buying. A new type of Passover.

My daily check in is on the price of Gold and Silver.
This lends to a wider gauging to see if the markets or bankers have given up the game yet.
We can see by the latest number that the game is still afoot.
We are seeing improvements but inaccuracies have not been resolved yet.

While gas prices were going up, Gold did as well.
Unlike at the pump, seeing Gold hit an all time high is exciting news.
As we watch Gold climb, we should be silver climb right along side it and this is where things get weird.
Silver is high for silver but it is not keeping pace with its counterpart, gold, as it should be in the ratio realm.

What is the ratio realm one might ask?

Very simple actually.   The ratio is how many oz of silver it takes to buy an oz of gold.

The current price of Gold divided by the current price of silver gives the comparison ratio.
A current rate of $3331Au divided by 33.64 Ag as of Sunday April 27th is a ratio of 99:1 (Au is gold and Ag is silver)

This is so far off the mark that alarms should be blaring in some trade commissioners office somewhere.
It isn’t rocket science. It is the billboard in neon lights flashing like a Las Vegas casino.

The standard ratio should stand around 15:1.
That is the historical reference point that my coin appraiser always gives me for comparison.
This reference point was from the coin act of 1792. More on that below.

Other sources will state the historical rate is 40 to 80.
That is a current historical reference which doesn’t go back very far.
Even at that vast difference in reference points one can see that a 99 number is simply unbelievable.

And it is unbelievable.
The price of gold, which varies greatly right now from country to country, fluctuates rapidly day to day in each market.

Let’s use the price in the USA last week as it hit an all time high of $3500.05 on April 22.
On that day the price of silver was at 32.61.
Already you can see something is not right.
The math tells us on that day the ratio was 107.33 (107, really?)

If you google the current ratio the AI generated answer reports the ratio is at 79.
With the price of gold at 3500 and with a ratio of 79, silver should be priced at $44.30.
But that never happened.

What does that mean?
Your guess is as good as mine. It basically reminds us of what we already know.
The metals market is rigged beyond belief.

But ratios fluctuate as the markets do so ultimately the ratio is just a tool.
But what is this tool for and how do we use it?

The gold / silver ratio is used by analysts to gauge the markets.
The wider the ratio, the more undervalued silver is, the narrower the ratio. The undervalue lies with gold.

When making an investment and you can’t decide which metal to invest in, look at the ratios.
At current market trends if the ratio reaches 40 or less it’s a great time to look at gold.
I haven’t seen that low of a ratio for years.

The Coin Act of 1792 was a regulation passed by Congress on April 2 1792.
Does that date ring any bells? April 2 this year? Liberation Day?

This act established the United States mint and laid out the foundation for modern currency.
It established the US dollar as the nation’s standard unit of currency.
It also established the dollar as a basic unit of currency reflecting its value against gold..
And it fixed the price of gold and silver at a ratio 15:1.
Dollars as units were valued incrementally as coins in a decimal system giving us gold, silver and copper coins.

As gold coin dollars, they were minted as $10, $5 and $2.50.
A silver coin as one dollar and further increments down the line.
Copper was one cent or a half cent.
Our dollar was asset backed.

Beyond the ratio standard there are two other things that the Act established that I found very interesting. One is that for quality control, the Mints act, as it was also referred to, that all coins must be made of the proper weight and quality of its equivalent metal.
This is called assaying of coins.

The law also stated that debasement of gold or silver was a penalty of death.
This meant if you messed with the quantity or quality of gold or silver making up the units of exchange, i.e. the coins as dollars or cents, you could be executed.

The assaying of coins regulation remained in effect until 1980 When the US Assay commission was abolished.

I am not sure of dates, but didn’t our coin minting get manipulated prior to that?

In my perspective, abolishing the commission was a debasing of our currency.

We have long known the value of our coins has diminished.
And now we know how they circumvent the system in order to do it.
Imagine a penalty of death for doing what ‘they’ have done.

As far as I can see the Coin Act of 1792 is still in effect.
Sans the abolishment of the assaying of coins, the gold to silver ratio should still be in the ballpark of 15 to 1 as my coin appraiser gleefully quotes but never explains.
Apparently it is dangerous to point out the criminal actions of the controllers.

Let’s do some more math shall we.

Gold at an all time high $3500 oz t at 15:1.
This puts the current legitimate value of silver at about $233.33 oz t.
Oz t or t Oz is a troy ounce.

Imagine if Gold had an actual value and not just a manipulated value.
You know how they devalue property in order to buy large tracts of desirable land.
Like they do with bringing natural disasters to regions with a potential motherlode of rare earth or other local desirable items.
Obviously they are manipulating silver.

We will have other market factors that come into play. Mining, recovery rates and costs of mining, manufacturing demands, trade values, etc.
Establishing values is in constant fluctuation.
But the US dollar was backed by assets when it was established.
And it would appear it still should be.
So let’s see how this volatile market plays out from here.

In the meantime I have heard that Washington State wants to tax the purchase of Metals.
Metals as a form of unit of exchange as minted currency?
Can that be taxed?

I think there are some legislators in this state that need to take a history class.
An ethics class wouldn’t hurt either.
How is it even possible to tax an exchange of what should be considered ‘equivalent’ legal tender?

That is like saying every time you go to the bank and withdraw your own money you have to pay a tax to get it back.

The exchange should be considered no different than trading 4 quarters for a one dollar bill.

Trading US dollars for Mint coinage is not buying,
It is Exchanging at current market value.
Therefore, in my opinion, not taxable.

There are still a few things we need to get figured out.
April 2 is starting to take its place in the rear view mirror.
What happened that we still don’t know about?
I can appreciate the reference that it made.
Maybe it was about us getting informed about what the rules were.
And still are!

Maybe ‘He’ was checking to see if we were paying attention.

So now, let’s see some action in real time at the gas pump, in the market and at the table.
We need relief in the pocket book soon.
The upside down markets that are messing with our lives and livelihood are coming to a crescendo.
Hang on. Folks, it’s going to get bumpy.

The people who gave themselves permission to debase our money are not wanting to give up their control.   And apparently are trying harder than ever to take what we do have.

We are onto them like flies on a light bulb.
Neon lights are blinking loud and clear, Asset backed Change is in the air.

Don’t forget to have some fun along the way.
Everyday is an opportunity to enrich our lives in multiple forms of currency.
Now, who likes horse racing?
