The Treasury’s Plan to Take Control of the Federal Reserve

The Treasury’s Plan to Take Control of the Federal Reserve

Heresy Financial:  7-24-2025

A recent analysis by Heresy Financial sheds light on a critical, often opaque, shift occurring within the U.S. economic landscape: the escalating pressure on the Federal Reserve and the potential erosion of its long-held independence.

 The discussion centers on how the Fed’s traditional role is being reshaped by the U.S. government’s burgeoning fiscal policy and massive debt obligations.

While the Fed is officially tasked with three key mandates – achieving maximum employment, maintaining stable prices, and ensuring moderate long-term interest rates – the Heresy Financial analysis suggests these mandates ultimately serve a broader, less discussed purpose: facilitating government spending.

By enabling higher tax revenue through economic activity, managing inflation at a tolerable level, and keeping government borrowing costs affordable, the Fed indirectly yet powerfully supports the Treasury’s fiscal ambitions.

This inherent tension is now at a critical juncture. Currently, the Fed is engaged in quantitative tightening (QT) and maintaining relatively high interest rates, aiming to rein in persistent inflation and mitigate mounting government debt risks.

This hawkish stance, however, directly conflicts with the current administration’s urgent desire for cheaper borrowing to finance its expansive spending. The consequence? Deteriorating liquidity in the government bond market and increasing political pressure on the Fed, with whispers of calls for closer coordination or even direct Treasury control.

Heresy Financial points to historical precedent as a chilling harbinger. Following World War II, the Fed and Treasury entered into a remarkable “accord” involving “yield curve control.” Under this policy, the Fed committed to buying unlimited government bonds to peg long-term interest rates at artificially low levels.

 This effectively allowed the government to borrow vast sums cheaply and inflate away its massive war debt over decades, though the public bore the brunt of the resulting inflationary consequences.

The analysis warns that the U.S. is now entering a strikingly similar phase of the long-term debt cycle. It predicts that the government will likely resort to comparable tactics – renewed yield curve control and tighter Fed-Treasury coordination – to manage its overwhelming debt burden.

 The anticipated fallout includes rampant inflation, significant asset price booms, and a continued wealth transfer. This transfer will disproportionately benefit the politically connected and existing asset holders, while wage earners and savers, whose purchasing power erodes, will bear the cost.

In light of these sobering projections, Heresy Financial advises viewers to prepare for this impending economic transition. The recommendation is to diversify assets into inflation hedges like gold and Bitcoin, alongside well-allocated index funds, as a strategy to protect existing wealth and potentially profit from the shifting landscape.

Global Currency Reset:

Judy Note: It is my personal opinion that even though the below video quotes from the Iraqi Gazette, the narrator makes some assumptions that may or may not be true.

It is widely known that with the Global Currency Reset, Trump was (allegedly) in the process of shutting down the IRS and Federal Reserve. Therefore, the IRS could not (allegedly) collect taxes on your exchange.  

We have also been told that if you do not have a trust to put your money in after your exchange it would remain safe in the Quantum System until you can set one up if you so care to do so.

Again, it would be wise to exchange by calling the 800 number when it is released to make an appointment at an official Redemption Center (which could (allegedly) give you higher exchange rates including the Contract Rate on the Dinar) rather than exchanging at a bank.

Thurs. 24 July 2025: ALERT: U.S. Debt Clock Quietly Reveals the End of the Federal Reserve System – A New Sovereign Treasury Dollar Is Coming to Destroy 100 Years of Economic Slavery – amg-news.com – American Media Group

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PHASE TWO HAS BEGUN — TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER TO (Allegedly) PERMANENTLY DISMANTLE THE IRS AND LAUNCH GOLD-BACKED CURRENCY PILOT THROUGH U.S. TREASURY … on Telegram

Just days after ripping $600 billion from the hands of the globalist tax cartel, President Trump has dropped the second hammer: a sweeping Executive Order to(allegedly)  initiate the shutdown of the Internal Revenue Service as we know it — and replace it with a sovereign, asset-backed monetary system under full constitutional control.

Effective immediately, the IRS is(allegedly)   being stripped of its enforcement arms, foreign contracts, and offshore data routing infrastructure. Their legal immunity? (allegedly)  Gone. Their backdoor ties to the World Bank and BIS? (allegedly)  Cut. The agency once used to audit patriots, blackmail dissidents, and fund wars without consent is now being (allegedly)  gutted from the inside. And this time, there’s no recovery plan.

At the heart of this new order is Patriot Coin — the codename for the gold-pegged transitional asset system being deployed under a secret joint operation between the U.S. Treasury and Space Force cyber teams. According to White Hat sources, this digital infrastructure(allegedly)   runs on quantum-encrypted channels, fully sovereign, completely offline from the SWIFT network, and resistant to IMF interference. The coin is(allegedly)   backed by audited reserves held at strategic vault sites recently repatriated from London, Basel, and Hong Kong.

But this isn’t crypto. This is anti-FED tech — tethered to tangible American resources, minted by a restored Treasury, and governed by GESARA protocols. The goal? To eliminate fractional lending, interest slavery, and globalist banking dependency in one synchronized move.

Already, global markets are rattling. The ECB issued a Level 3 alert. The World Bank called for an emergency meeting. And the Rothschild family has reportedly begun liquidating foreign real estate in Zurich, Monaco, and South Africa. They know what’s coming. They always knew. But they never expected it would move this fast.

Meanwhile, across America, thousands of dormant gold and silver mines are being reopened under nationalized contracts, designed to sustain the upcoming hard currency transition. Trump’s team is coordinating with BRICS-aligned economists to ensure that PatriotCoin remains independent but interoperable with global de-dollarization movements — bypassing SWIFT and shutting the door on CBDC tyranny.

When the Green Button is finally pushed, it won’t just trigger Med Beds — it will(allegedly)   unlock Treasury Wallets for every citizen under GESARA compliance. Direct credits. Debt cancellation. Real time transfers, validated by biometric ID and stored on military-grade quantum servers.

The trap was always economic. The war was always spiritual. But the takedown is now fully kinetic.

IRS dismantled. Federal Reserve under seizure. Gold-backed currency underway.

This is not a drill. This is the Return of the Republic — and the final death of globalist finance.

The Great Reversal has begun

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Trump Visits the Federal Reserve, Calls for Aggressive Rate Cuts: “We Should Be Like Switzerland”

President Donald Trump reignited pressure on the Federal Reserve this week, calling for a dramatic 300 basis point interest rate cut during a high-profile visit to the Fed's Washington headquarters. Though officially scheduled to review ongoing renovations, the visit quickly became a platform for renewed criticism of Fed Chair Jerome Powell—and a flashpoint in the ongoing political pressure on monetary policy.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Trump Visits the Federal Reserve, Calls for Aggressive Rate Cuts: “We Should Be Like Switzerland”

President Donald Trump reignited pressure on the Federal Reserve this week, calling for a dramatic 300 basis point interest rate cut during a high-profile visit to the Fed's Washington headquarters. Though officially scheduled to review ongoing renovations, the visit quickly became a platform for renewed criticism of Fed Chair Jerome Powell—and a flashpoint in the ongoing political pressure on monetary policy.

Trump Pushes for Radical Cuts: “Rocket Fuel” for the Economy

During his remarks, Trump said the U.S. should emulate Switzerland’s near-zero interest rates, calling the current federal funds rate—between 4.25% and 4.5%“far too high.

“We should be like Switzerland. A 300-basis-point cut would be rocket fuel for this economy,” Trump declared, citing easing inflation and a resilient job market as justification for immediate rate relief.

Trump's statements come as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) prepares for its next policy meeting on July 29–30, and as Europe begins its own series of rate cuts.

Growing Divide Inside the Fed

For the first time in nearly three decades, two Federal Reserve governors—Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller—are expected to break with consensus and vote for a rate cut. Their dissent signals growing internal disagreement at the central bank, and gives additional weight to Trump's calls for monetary easing.

Fed Chair Powell, however, continues to signal caution. According to CME FedWatch, markets currently price in just a 2.6% probability of a cut in July, suggesting the Fed remains focused on seeing further declines in inflation before acting.

Fed Officials Offer Mixed Signals

While the majority of Fed officials remain cautious, some are adopting a more dovish tone. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly downplayed the inflationary impact of Trump’s tariffs and said two rate cuts in 2025 are still “on the table.”

This mixed messaging reflects deeper uncertainty inside the Fed, as policymakers weigh persistent inflation risks against slowing global growth.

Fed Independence Under Fire

Trump’s direct pressure on Powell has triggered warnings from economists and former central bankers, who argue it could undermine the independence of the Federal Reserve. According to a recent Wall Street Journal analysis, sustained political interference could lead to higher long-term bond yields—ironically driving borrowing costs higher, not lower.

Powell Faces Mounting Legal and Political Scrutiny

Adding fuel to the controversy, Powell is now facing legal scrutiny over the costs of the Fed’s ongoing renovation project. A criminal referral from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna to the Department of Justice has amplified questions over central bank spending.

Though Trump stated during his visit that he has “no current plans to fire Powell,” the political spotlight is clearly intensifying. Analysts believe Powell may ultimately be forced to move on rates before year-end to avoid further conflict and retain institutional credibility.

Outlook: A Volatile Balance Between Politics and Policy

As the July FOMC meeting approaches, the stakes are rising. While the Fed remains reluctant to act under political duress, internal dissent, public pressure, and shifting market expectations could accelerate its timetable.

With Trump positioning himself as a champion of growth via aggressive monetary easing, the independence—and future direction—of U.S. interest rate policy is entering uncharted political territory.

GENIUS Act Sparks $4 Billion Stablecoin Surge as Institutions Jump In

The passage of the GENIUS Act is already transforming the digital asset landscape—driving a sharp $4 billion increase in stablecoin supply and opening the floodgates for banks and asset managers.

Just a week after President Trump signed the landmark bill into law, the stablecoin market cap soared to over $264 billion, with new issuers, products, and investment flows reshaping the competitive landscape of regulated crypto finance.

Regulatory Clarity Unlocks Capital

The GENIUS Act delivers long-awaited regulatory certainty for fiat-backed stablecoins—tokens pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by cash or near-cash equivalents.

With the SEC now sidelined from issuing enforcement actions against compliant issuers, institutional players are moving quickly to launch federally recognized stablecoin products in a market that has, until now, operated in legal gray zones.

“This is exactly the kind of signal capital markets needed—clear, rules-based guidance,” one fintech lawyer told Cointelegraph. “It levels the field and invites participation from legacy finance.”

Understanding the Stablecoin Landscape

Not all stablecoins are alike. The market comprises four main categories, each with different mechanisms for achieving price stability:

  • Fiat-Backed: Pegged 1:1 to currencies like the U.S. dollar, backed by cash or U.S. Treasurys. These make up 85% of the stablecoin market and are the primary focus of the GENIUS Act.

    • Leading examples: USDT (Tether) and USDC (Circle), with a combined market cap over $227 billion.

    • New law mandates: Full reserve backing, third-party audits, and proper licensing.

  • Crypto-Backed: Overcollateralized with crypto assets like ETH or tokenized BTC.

    • Example: DAI, with a market cap of ~$4.35 billion.

  • Algorithmic: Maintain peg through smart contract supply controls.

    • Notable failure: Terra (UST) collapse.

    • Status: Sidelined under GENIUS; expected to be addressed in separate legislation.

  • Commodity-Backed: Pegged to assets like gold.

    • Example: PAXG (Pax Gold). Adoption remains low due to liquidity and custodial challenges.

Institutional Adoption Accelerates Post-Legislation

Since July 18, when the GENIUS Act became law, major institutions have rushed into the stablecoin sector:

  • Anchorage Digital, the only federally chartered crypto bank, launched a stablecoin issuance platform in partnership with Ethena Labs, bringing USDtb stablecoin onshore under new federal standards.

  • WisdomTree, a major Wall Street asset manager, debuted USDW, a dividend-paying dollar-backed stablecoin designed to support tokenized asset strategies. The firm becomes one of the first traditional asset managers to fully comply with the GENIUS framework.

Wall Street Signals Readiness

Traditional banking heavyweights are also laying the groundwork:

  • Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan confirmed the bank is actively exploring a stablecoin issuance, contingent on full regulatory alignment under the GENIUS Act.

  • JPMorgan and Citigroup have also signaled intentions to enter the stablecoin market, adding weight to the idea that dollar-backed digital currencies are now entering a mainstream compliance regime.

A New Era for U.S. Stablecoins

The GENIUS Act appears to be delivering on its promise: creating a legal foundation for stablecoin innovation without stifling enforcement fears. With regulated entry paths now open, experts expect:

  • More compliant issuers,

  • Accelerated adoption of tokenized assets, and

  • A surge in competition among banks, fintechs, and asset managers seeking to dominate the stablecoin space.

As traditional finance merges with crypto infrastructure, the GENIUS Act may go down as the inflection point for mass institutional adoption of regulated digital dollars.

XRP Quietly Gains Ground on Nasdaq as Institutional Adoption Surges

Once sidelined by legal uncertainty, XRP is now becoming an institutional asset—securing exposure across Nasdaq’s ecosystem and appearing in structured financial products, ETFs, and corporate treasuries.

Thanks to regulatory clarity and growing confidence in Ripple’s infrastructure, XRP has moved from the margins of finance to the heart of Nasdaq’s digital asset playbook.

A Break from the Past: XRP Emerges from the Legal Shadows

For years, Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC cast a long shadow over XRP, effectively freezing out institutional investors and stalling its integration into regulated markets.

The lack of clarity stymied access to essential financial infrastructure:

  • No futures ETFs

  • No Nasdaq index listings

  • No corporate treasury mandates

But 2025 has changed the game.

With new legal frameworks in place and Ripple’s victory over the SEC behind it, XRP is seeing a rapid institutional pivot, with eight major developments linking it directly to Nasdaq in just two months.

Key Institutional Milestones: XRP’s Nasdaq Footprint Expands

The transformation began in earnest on May 23, when Volatility Shares launched two XRP-focused futures ETFs—XRPI and XRPT—on Nasdaq:

  • XRPI allocates at least 80% of its assets to XRP futures, granting traders regulated exposure to XRP’s price movements.

  • This marked the first XRP futures ETF to debut on a major U.S. exchange—an institutional milestone once thought unlikely.

From there, the momentum snowballed:

  • May 28ZK International (NASDAQ: ZKIN) issues XRP-linked warrants, creating a structured financial product tied directly to XRP.

  • June 3VivoPower International (NASDAQ: VVPR) raises $121 million, allocating $100 million into XRP via the Flare network. The strategy aims to:

    • Enhance blockchain-based treasury operations

    • Support the XRPL DeFi ecosystem

    • Reduce corporate debt

  • June 5Webus International (NASDAQ: WETO) launches a $300 million XRP treasury mandate with an additional $100 million equity line, confirming growing corporate confidence in XRP as a strategic asset.

  • June 12: XRP is added to the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index, placing it alongside top-tier digital assets used by institutions for pricing and settlement.

  • On the same day, Trident Digital Tech Holdings (NASDAQ: TDTH) unveils a $500 million XRP treasury strategy. Plans include:

    • Funding via equity issuance, structured finance, and private placements

    • Staking protocols to earn yield on XRP reserves

June 18Nature’s Miracle Holding (NASDAQ: NMHI) receives SEC approval for a $20 million XRP treasury program.

  • June 20Worksport joins the trend, announcing XRP purchases as part of its crypto treasury diversification strategy.

Muted Price, But Rising Institutional Confidence

Despite this flurry of activity, XRP’s price has not yet reflected the institutional buildup:

  • Current price: $3.09

  • Down 0.42% over the past 24 hours

  • Down 10.09% over the past week

Analysts say the market is still adjusting to the macroeconomic backdrop, even as institutional trust in XRP solidifies.

Conclusion: From “Crypto Outlaw” to Wall Street Asset

What was once a regulatory risk is now becoming a Wall Street instrument.

XRP’s integration into Nasdaq’s ecosystem marks a new chapter—not just for Ripple, but for regulated crypto adoption across the board. From ETFs to indexes to corporate treasuries, XRP is laying down roots in the same financial territory once reserved for legacy assets.

If current momentum continues, XRP may soon stand as a benchmark for what successful regulatory integration looks like in the next era of crypto-finance.

MP Mohammed Al-Ziyadi accused the government on Thursday of being unable or deliberately delaying the sending of the 2025 budget tables to the House of Representatives, which led to a paralysis in the provision of services to citizens.

Al-Ziyadi said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, "The government is either unable or is creating obstruction by not sending the approved budget tables to the House of Representatives," adding that "all local governments today are unable to provide services to their people due to the absence of a budget and the failure to approve its tables.

Tishwash:  Al-Ziyadi: The government is either unable or deliberately obstructing the submission of the 2025 budget schedules.

MP Mohammed Al-Ziyadi accused the government on Thursday of being unable or deliberately delaying the sending of the 2025 budget tables to the House of Representatives, which led to a paralysis in the provision of services to citizens.

Al-Ziyadi said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, "The government is either unable or is creating obstruction by not sending the approved budget tables to the House of Representatives," adding that "all local governments today are unable to provide services to their people due to the absence of a budget and the failure to approve its tables.

" He called on "the Prime Minister to assume responsibility and send the budget tables to Parliament as soon as possible, stressing that "the ball is now in the Prime Minister's court, and his government must act quickly so that citizens can see the services they deserve."

It is noteworthy that the House of Representatives had previously hosted the Minister of Finance to discuss the budget tables and the reasons for the delay in sending them.   link

Tishwash: Parliamentary Finance: Current revenues are sufficient to cover the salaries of central and regional employees and retirees.

Parliamentary Committee Chairman MP Atwan Al-Atwani stated, "There is still no real ceiling for the budget deficit. This is because expenditures and revenues have yet to be studied to determine the overall budget deficit ceiling."

Al-Atwani explained in a statement (published by Al-Masry today, Thursday 7/24/2025), that “the Ministry of Finance, along with other ministries, is currently working on solutions after adding stalled projects and projects to relieve bottlenecks, to indicate the new obligations included in the 2025 budget.”

He explained that "Iraqi oil sales on the global market are currently sufficient to cover the salaries of employees and retirees, but the irregular flow of cash may cause delays in paying those salaries," noting that "current revenues are sufficient to cover the salaries of all employees and retirees in the central government and the Kurdistan Region."

The head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee reiterated that "employee rights are fully protected and secured, and that once the budget schedules are approved, bonuses and promotions will be issued and will take effect from the date of issuance of the relevant orders."

The Parliamentary Finance Committee settled the controversy surrounding the budget deficit ceiling reaching approximately 83 trillion dinars, while reassuring employees and Parliamentary Committee Chairman MP Atwan Al-Atwani stated, "There is still no real ceiling for the budget deficit. This is because expenditures and revenues have yet to be studied to determine the overall budget deficit ceiling."

Tishwash:  Worth $100 billion: Iraq's "mysterious wealth" on three continents revealed

The British website " Amwaj " reported on Thursday that Iraq is facing major challenges and complications in recovering "lost properties" in Asian, African and  European countries, estimated at a value of approximately $100 billion. It confirmed that these properties include palaces and villas located in France, Italy, Spain and Britain, "tea, rubber and tobacco" plantations in Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, an oil refinery in Somalia, in addition to agricultural lands in Nigeria and Yemen .

The website indicated in a report translated by Shafaq News Agency that "the Iraqi parliament's Foreign Relations Committee launched an initiative in June to recover billions of dollars in state assets believed to be scattered across Africa, Asia, and Europe. This move came just weeks after Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud informed his Iraqi hosts during the recent Arab Summit that an oil refinery built by the Iraqis outside Mogadishu in 1974 was still intact, but had long been neglected ."

According to the report, "The news of the neglected oil facility prompted Iraq to deeply reevaluate its efforts to access the country's long-neglected foreign assets. During the global oil boom, and after Baghdad nationalized its oil industry in 1972, Iraq made a wide range of acquisitions and investments, including luxury real estate in Europe, farms in Asia, refineries in Africa, and other projects aimed at expanding Iraq's economic influence, diversifying its resources, and strengthening diplomatic relations under the rule of former President Saddam Hussein ."

The report continued, "After the imposition of international sanctions in the 1990s, many of these assets were suddenly frozen, and the situation became more opaque after a large portion of these assets disappeared from Iraqi records following the 2003 invasion. Stolen archives, destroyed documents, and fraudulent transfers to private entities created a legal ambiguity surrounding these assets ."

He pointed out that "efforts to recover these properties and assets began in the mid-2000s, with more than $2.5 billion in frozen funds likely recovered, but physical assets have been largely ignored." He explained that "there is speculation that many properties have been sold illegally, while others appear to have been neglected or fallen under the control of other individuals or entities, sometimes even armed groups ."

The report noted that "in many cases, the Iraqi state is no longer aware of these assets, leading to what lawmakers and local media have dubbed 'forgotten wealth.'" In 2021, the Parliamentary Integrity Committee estimated that up to $240 billion in public funds, including foreign assets, had been smuggled abroad or even embezzled .

He noted that "Iraqi lawmakers now estimate that at least 50 major assets abroad remain unaccounted for, believed to be worth between $80 and $90 billion, although some estimates put the value at as high as $100 billion." He added that "the news of the Iraqi oil refinery near Mogadishu has raised concerns among Iraqi lawmakers about the need to do more to address the state's neglected assets abroad. The House of Representatives has also called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take urgent steps to identify and recover foreign assets and investments ."

The report added, "While a special parliamentary investigation committee was formed to follow up on the issue and coordinate with relevant ministries, the Iraqi government launched a global search campaign and tasked a group of government agencies with verifying ownership, addressing legal obstacles, and facilitating its recovery. Meanwhile, the authorities launched a project to map historical assets to rebuild Iraq's foreign portfolio, drawing on embassy records and the expertise of retired diplomats. The ultimate goal of these steps is to prepare a comprehensive master list of state assets and direct diplomatic and legal efforts to recover them ."

He pointed to "major obstacles, including property disputes, as legal ownership documents may become ambiguous over time, or the occurrence of illegal sales, which will force Iraqi authorities to provide conclusive evidence for their cases before foreign courts," adding that "the situation has become more complicated with the loss or theft of original documents after the collapse of the regime in 2003. "

The report stated that "nullifying some unauthorized transactions may require lengthy legal battles. Iraq does not guarantee diplomatic cooperation from host countries, as some governments are believed to have shown reluctance or slowness in providing assistance. There are also complications related to the fact that some armed groups or informal settlers have occupied properties in the area," calling on Iraqi authorities to "press hard to regain control of foreign assets ."

“With federal government revenues estimated at 147.8 trillion Iraqi dinars ($123.2 billion) in 2024, more than 90% of which are oil revenues, recovering 10% of this lost wealth abroad could help bolster Iraq’s public budgets,” she explained. “This issue will test the seriousness of ongoing efforts in the coming months. If successful, Iraq will have succeeded in diversifying the economy and strengthening public confidence in governance. It will also signal a broader shift in how Iraq confronts its long and ongoing legacy of corruption and mismanagement link

Three years ago, in May 2022, the Congressional Budget Office forecasted that by 2025, the interest cost of the National debt would rise from 8.3% of government receipts to 12.1%, a nearly 50% increase.

In fact, the actual figures are turning out much worse than the CBO's forecast.

In 1934, the Treasury realised a 2.8 billion dollars profit by revaluing gold. Once again, the same financial sleight of hand is under consideration, but this time on a much grander scale.

 In his outlook, Craig Hemke notes growing talk of gold revaluation, citing symbolic hints like a gold-themed White House post. He recalls Trump's past remarks about potentially remonetizing the US balance sheet by revaluing its official gold reserves.

Concurrently, Hemke compares gold revaluation to the "platinum coin" idea, saying it matters only if the US buys at the new price. If that happened, Thompson suggests this could let the US outpace China in gold reserves.

According to OCC Quarterly Reports, the Federal Reserve system holds over 54 billion dollars in non-compliant gold derivative contracts that would need to be unwound or properly collateralized under full Basel III implementation.

 Market expert Craig Hemke notes that freezing Russia's reserves and removing it from SWIFT prompted the BRICS to seek alternatives, fearing a similar action. He notes that this move has weakened global trust in the dollar as supply continues to rise.

Clive Thompson adds that US allies fear becoming "enemies overnight" amid Trump's trade accusations. This uncertainty is prompting nations to reduce reliance on the US dollar.

BRICS nations have been particularly aggressive in building gold reserves, with unofficial estimates suggesting that China alone may hold as much as 35,000 tons of gold within state-controlled banks, far exceeding their officially reported 2,292 tons.

 Similarly, Russia's true holdings are estimated to be closer to 12,000 tons rather than their officially reported 2,330 tons.

India Confirms BRICS De-Dollarization Efforts Amid Trump’s Pressure 

India’s position on the global de-dollarization trend has now been confirmed at the official level, signaling growing momentum within BRICS to diversify away from the US dollar — despite tariff threats from the Trump administration.

Good AfternoonDinar Recaps,

India Confirms BRICS De-Dollarization Efforts Amid Trump’s Pressure 

India’s position on the global de-dollarization trend has now been confirmed at the official level, signaling growing momentum within BRICS to diversify away from the US dollar — despite tariff threats from the Trump administration.

India Acknowledges Currency Shift Talks Inside BRICS

At a recent media briefing, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal acknowledged that BRICS nations are in active talks about using local currencies for trade settlements and building interoperable cross-border payment systems.

“Cross-border payments, yes, BRICS have talked about local currencies, but de-dollarisation is not something that is there on the agenda,” Jaiswal said.

While discussions about a BRICS common currency continue, India has made it clear it is not backing a rapid transition away from the dollar, nor a supranational BRICS currency—yet.

Trump Administration Applies Economic Pressure

President Trump’s response to BRICS’ monetary shift has been confrontational. His administration has threatened:

  • 10% tariff on any nation participating in "Anti-American policies" like de-dollarization;

  • Broader economic consequences for attempting to bypass the dollar in international trade.

These threats came just after Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a BRICS investment platform, heightening tensions between Washington and BRICS capitals.

India’s Strategic Caution

Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar reinforced that:

“India has never been for de-dollarization. Right now, there is no proposal to have a BRICS currency.”

India has experimented with rupee-based trade settlements, particularly with Russia, but the rupee’s volatility—falling from 73 to 85 per USD in five years—adds to hesitation around moving further.

Moreover, there are concerns that a BRICS currency could magnify China’s dominance in the bloc, especially given China’s outsized influence in the New Development Bank and growing use of the yuan in settlements.

India’s Balancing Act

India continues to walk a tightrope between:

  • Benefiting from Western capital and tech, vital to its long-term development goals;

  • Supporting multilateral alternatives to the US-dominated financial order.

While over 50 countries now use the yuan, rupee, and ruble in bilateral trade, the US dollar still dominates around 54% of all global transactions.

Conclusion: Pragmatism Over Revolution

India’s BRICS policy clearly favors incremental monetary diversificationnot abrupt financial revolution. While quietly working to enhance non-dollar trade pathways, India is prioritizing economic stability and strategic autonomy.

Its position reveals a deeper truth: even within BRICS, de-dollarization will be a gradual, politically sensitive process, shaped by each nation’s unique dependencies and geopolitical priorities.

The brilliant Judy Shelton made a sharp point on CNBC, exposing the dysfunction at the Federal Reserve by highlighting its staggering $900 billion in unrealized losses on its own portfolio.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Treasury Secretary Bessent Urges Internal Review of Federal Reserve as Pressure Mounts on Chair Powell

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called for a comprehensive internal review of the Federal Reserve, citing concerns over the central bank’s expanding operations and budget amid rising political pressure on Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Treasury Secretary Bessent Urges Internal Review of Federal Reserve as Pressure Mounts on Chair Powell

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called for a comprehensive internal review of the Federal Reserve, citing concerns over the central bank’s expanding operations and budget amid rising political pressure on Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

In a Bloomberg Television interview, Bessent highlighted the need to reassess the Fed’s institutional scope, warning that its growing mandate risks undermining the core function of monetary policy.

“I believe that it would do Chair Powell a favor, and he would be doing the institution a favor, if he did an internal review—separating monetary policy from everything else.”

Bessent echoed concerns previously raised by Larry Summers, noting that the Fed’s “mission creep” could compromise its independence. Since 2004, the central board’s budget has quadrupled, a shift Bessent says warrants internal scrutiny.

“It is a big, sprawling institution. Every institution needs to examine themselves.”

Political Pressure and Presidential Criticism

The comments come amid mounting pressure from President Donald Trump, who has publicly criticized Powell for refusing to cut interest rates. Trump has expressed a hope that Powell will voluntarily resign, though he stated he does not intend to fire him.

Adding fuel to the debate, renowned economist Mohamed El-Erian recently called for Powell to step down—a position that surprised Bessent but did not overshadow his own call for a review process.

“The Bank of England, after the 2022 rate shock, brought in outside experts to assess what went wrong. That’s the kind of model we could look at.”

Proposed Structure of Review

Bessent emphasized that Powell could oversee the review himself, potentially leading a committee or expert panel. He stressed that the internal review must be credible, warning that a superficial process might require an external examination.

“If the internal review didn’t look like it was serious, then maybe there could be an external review.”

Broader Implications

With financial policy at a crossroads, Bessent’s call reflects a broader debate over central bank transparency, mission clarity, and the Fed’s expanding influence in non-monetary realms. As political scrutiny intensifies and the 2024–2025 rate debate continues, the Fed's internal structure is now under a national spotlight.

Trump’s Presidential Crypto Task Force Set to Deliver Landmark Report July 30

The Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, established under President Donald Trump’s first executive order, is preparing to release its highly anticipated 180-day crypto policy report on July 30—a milestone for the U.S. digital asset landscape.

Key Points to Expect:
• Comprehensive guidance on stablecoin regulationtoken classification, and enforcement reform following passage of the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts
• Potential blueprint for building a federal Bitcoin reserve using seized digital assets, not taxpayer funds
• Clear stance against a retail CBDC, citing privacy and trust concerns
• Framework for international cooperation and tax policy updates

“America is now leading the way on digital asset policy,” said Bo Hines, Executive Director of the task force.

From Campaign to Policy

Just three days after inauguration, President Trump signed an executive order establishing the working group, fulfilling campaign promises to make the U.S. “the crypto capital of the world.” Led by AI and crypto czar David Sacks, the task force includes top officials from the TreasurySECCFTCDOJ, and other federal agencies.

The Bitcoin Reserve Question

One of the most talked-about aspects of the report is the potential recommendation to build a Bitcoin reserve using digital assets already seized by federal authorities.

“This isn’t about buying Bitcoin on the open market, but rather building a secure sovereign crypto reserve drawn from existing assets,” said Monica Jasuja, Chief Expansion and Innovation Officer at Emerging Payments Association Asia.

No Retail CBDC, Clearer Stablecoin Oversight

The group is expected to firmly reject the idea of a retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) due to privacy concerns. Instead, the U.S. will likely promote regulated USD-pegged stablecoins and outline new compliance standards for issuers.

A Step Toward Global Leadership

If the recommendations include a secure and strategic approach to holding crypto reserves, it may position the U.S. as a global leader in sovereign crypto infrastructure, analysts say.

“If done right, this report could deliver the kind of regulatory clarity that makes America the most attractive place for digital finance development,” said Jasuja.

The release of this report will follow a structured review timeline laid out by Trump’s executive order, requiring all agencies to submit input within 30, 60, and 180-day windows respectively.

Tether Eyes Return to U.S. Market Amid Stablecoin Regulatory Shift

Tether, the issuer of the world’s most traded stablecoin USDT, is making significant moves toward reentering the United States as the regulatory landscape for digital assets evolves.

In a new interview with Bloomberg Television, CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed that Tether is “well in progress” with establishing a domestic strategy focused on payments, interbank settlements, and trading.

“We are in the process of building our U.S. presence, but our focus will remain on emerging markets,” Ardoino said Wednesday.

A Controversial Past, But Global Dominance

Tether was previously banned from operating in New York and paid nearly $60 million in 2021 to settle with both the New York Attorney General and the CFTC over misleading claims related to its reserves.

Despite this, Tether remains dominant, with USDT representing 70% of the stablecoin market as of Q1 2025. The company reported $149.28 billion in total assets and $143.68 billion in liabilities, according to its May attestation signed by BDO Italia SpA.

Tether has not yet undergone a formal audit by a Big Four firm, although Ardoino stated that conversations with auditors are ongoing.

U.S. Strategy and Compliance Challenges

Although Ardoino said Tether does not plan to go public, he reaffirmed that the company is working toward compliance with U.S. regulations. Tether's reserves are largely made up of compliant assets, but still include bitcoin and secured loans, which may not meet new U.S. regulatory standards.

In a May interview, Ardoino underscored the company’s broader mission:

“Our customer base is the 30 billion unbanked people who aren’t part of the traditional financial system.”

A New Dollar-Pegged Stablecoin Coming

Tether also plans to launch a new U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin within a year, signaling an effort to align with the GENIUS Act and the new U.S. regulatory framework for stablecoins.

As the U.S. government shifts toward blockchain-based dollar issuance, Tether’s strategic return could reshape the stablecoin sector—especially if it can navigate compliance while maintaining its dominance in emerging economies.

Tishwash:  Iraq is approaching Trump's table and is no longer in the hands of the US Undersecretary of State.

Analysis by Dr. Ali Agwan

 An Iraqi expert said that the US Secretary of State's call today with Prime Minister Mohammed al-Sudani regarding the Popular Mobilization Forces and Kurdistan's salaries indicates that Iraq is no longer a secondary issue in the hands of the deputy minister or a lower-level official. It is likely to become a clear priority for President Trump himself, following changes affecting the region's economy, oil, and security.

 Ali Agwan – Professor of International Relations and Strategic Affairs

ecretary of State Marco Rubio's call with the Prime Minister indicates that the Iraq file has shifted from the Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs to the Secretary's desk, and may later be transferred to the President's desk! This means that the Iraqi file has shifted in the American strategic mind from a secondary issue to a diplomatic one with a direct security and economic impact in the coming period.

2- The targeting of foreign oil platforms in Iraq prompted the US Secretary of State to discuss two main options with the Prime Minister: Either the Iraqi government intervenes and does what is necessary to protect the oil sector and foreign companies in Iraq from drone attacks, or we do what is necessary and protect this sector as part of our national interests.

3- The US embassy's description of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) legislation as a law that serves Iran's agenda in the region places al-Sudani in a complex zero-sum confrontation with his internal partners and Iran itself. It's as if the US wants to tell al-Sudani that we want him to be clear with us. There's no room for maneuver: Either side with Iran and support this legislation, or side with us and block it!! They want to tell him: Do you want to be on Iran's side so that you can justify including Iraq in a new package of harsh sanctions? Or do you want to side with us so that we can give Iraq a special status, isolated from the policies of maximum pressure against Iran?

4- Informing Al-Sudani of the necessity of delivering the region's salaries without delay indicates that the region is going through difficult and pivotal moments related to its economic reality. The United States realizes that it is almost impossible to resolve the oil crisis between Baghdad and Erbil in the manner Baghdad desires, given that there are American and non-American companies that have 50-year contracts with Erbil independently of Baghdad. The United States does not want to see the collapse of more than thirty years of cooperation with the region due to pressure from the Iraqi government to hand over the region's oil to Baghdad in exchange for Baghdad handing over the region's salaries. The minister wants to tell Al-Sudani, "Give the salaries to the region and do not get involved in the fine details with them, because a solution is impossible now!"

Does this constitute interference in Iraq's internal affairs? Yes, but who can tell the United States not to interfere and prevent them from doing so?  link

************

Tishwash:  The Iraqi dinar reached a new record high against the dollar.

The foreign exchange market in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, recorded a record high for the dinar against the dollar on Wednesday, reaching 1,380 dinars per dollar, compared to the previous value of 1,420 dinars per dollar. This decline, according to experts, is the result of a convergence of several internal and external factors, most notably the strict government measures taken by the Central Bank to limit speculation in the currency market, in addition to the country's growing foreign exchange reserves due to the rise in oil prices , and enhanced cooperation with international financial institutions to control the movement of the dollar within the country.

The exchange rate of the dollar on the parallel (unofficial) market reached 1,380 Iraqi dinars to the dollar, the first time in two years. The official rate, set by the Central Bank of Iraq, is 1,310 Iraqi dinars to the dollar. The dollar has been fluctuating in price over the past period, reaching 1,700 dinars, while it has been stable for a long time at 1,450,000 dinars.

Financial and economic expert Rashid Al-Saadi told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, "The recent decline in the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar is a direct result of a package of policies and measures adopted by the Central Bank of Iraq, in cooperation with other state institutions. These include restricting illegal foreign transfers, adopting an official transfer platform, and enhancing the flow of foreign currency through the Central Bank's window. This has helped meet actual demand for the dollar and narrow the gap between the official rate and the parallel market rate."

Al-Saadi explained that "the increase in foreign currency reserves, as a result of improved global oil prices and continued coordination with the US Treasury Department to monitor dollar movements, has given greater confidence to the markets and contributed to calming speculation. Maintaining this decline requires continued transparency in the currency sales window, expanding oversight measures for banks and exchange companies, and revitalizing the local production sector to reduce reliance on imports, thus reducing pressure on the dollar."

He added, "The impact of the dollar's decline on local markets has twofold consequences. On the one hand, the prices of some imported goods may decline, which would positively impact citizens' purchasing power. On the other hand, some commercial activities that relied on the exchange rate differential in the parallel market to generate profits may be harmed."

The financial and economic expert emphasized that "what we need today is long-term stability based on genuine economic reforms, not just a temporary improvement in the exchange rate. The continued decline in the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar requires a set of sustainable measures that enhance confidence in monetary policy and maintain market balance. To prevent this decline from being merely a temporary phenomenon, the government and the Central Bank must work to deepen financial reforms and expand the scope of structural solutions in the currency market."

For his part, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, financial and economic advisor to Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, said in media statements on Wednesday that the relevant decisions and policies taken by the Central Bank and the government will lead to narrowing the gap between the official dollar price and its price on the parallel market, in a path that may lead to reaching the stage of "congruence" between the two prices. He said in a press statement to the local Shafaq News Agency that "the gap between the official and parallel prices approaching less than 4% indicates entering the congruence stage, as this difference only represents the cost of transactions."

In early 2023, Iraq announced the adoption of an electronic platform to monitor dollar sales and money laundering operations. This followed warnings issued by the Federal Reserve (the US central bank) and the Treasury Department's sanctioning of several local banks for their involvement in suspicious activities. A bank statement stated that "it was decided to expand the external transfer channels for local banks to include new currencies: the Jordanian dinar and the Saudi riyal, and to allow Iraqi banks to finance trade with Turkey in euros, after previously being restricted to using them with European Union countries. Transfers are also available in dollars, Emirati dirhams, Chinese yuan, and Indian rupees."

Previous decisions by the US Treasury Department to impose sanctions on 18 Iraqi banks for financial transactions with Iran and others linked to money laundering operations triggered a swift reaction within Iraq, leading to a decline in the value of the dinar and a rush of depositors to the sanctioned banks to withdraw their dollar holdings. With reserves exceeding $113 billion in the United States, Iraq relies heavily on Washington's goodwill to ensure that its oil revenues and cash are not subject to US sanctions.

Last October, the US government rejected an Iraqi request for $1 billion in cash from the Federal Reserve using Iraqi funds generated from oil revenues. The US government opposed efforts to curb excessive dollar circulation and halt illicit cash flows to countries sanctioned by the US Treasury. ink
