GLOBAL BOND RESET WATCH: RECORD-HIGH YIELDS PUT DEBT MARKETS AND CURRENCIES UNDER PRESSURE

Surging government-bond yields across major economies are exposing the growing connection between sovereign debt, inflation, interest rates, trade and currency stability.

 OVERVIEW

• U.S. Treasury yields have reached multi-decade highs, with the 10-year yield touching 5.2297%, its highest level since 2007, while the 30-year yield reached 5.5252%, its highest since 2004.

• Japan's 10-year yield also reached a multi-decade high, touching 3.121%, while several major central banks have raised rates or signaled concern about persistent inflation.

• A new China-U.S. trade development adds another layer to the financial picture: Beijing says the Trump-Xi summit produced an eight-point consensus that includes a reported $30 billion reciprocal tariff-reduction arrangement and a new AI dialogue.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. U.S. Treasury Yields Reach Levels Not Seen in Years

The global bond market remains under significant pressure.

The U.S. benchmark 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.2297%, its highest level since 2007, while the 30-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.5252%, the highest since 2004.

The move came even as oil prices eased somewhat, showing that bond-market concerns have become broader than the immediate movement in energy prices. Investors remain concerned about inflation and the possibility of additional Federal Reserve interest-rate increases.

Higher Treasury yields matter throughout the financial system because U.S. government bonds influence borrowing costs for governments, businesses, households and investors around the world.

2. Japan and Other Major Economies Face Rising Borrowing Costs

The pressure is not limited to the United States.

Japan's 10-year government-bond yield reached 3.121%, a level not seen since 1996. Reuters also reported that five of the Group of 10's most influential central banks had raised rates during September, while the others had either signaled potential increases or warned about rising inflation.

This creates an increasingly important global dynamic: governments are facing higher financing costs at the same time that debt levels remain elevated.

Higher yields can therefore affect both monetary policy and fiscal policy, particularly as governments refinance existing debt at higher interest rates.

 3. China-U.S. Trade Talks Add a Potential Counterweight

A significant development since the earlier market reporting came from the conclusion of Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Washington.

China said on September 26 that the United States and China had reached an eight-point consensus, including a reported $30 billion reciprocal tariff-reduction arrangement, the creation of a trade council and the launch of a new dialogue on artificial intelligence.

The two countries also agreed to extend outcomes from earlier talks and continue discussions, while maintaining a broader trade truce.

This is important for global markets because lower trade barriers could reduce some of the uncertainty surrounding international commerce. However, the announcement does not eliminate the broader pressures facing global bond markets.

Instead, the two developments illustrate the competing forces currently shaping the financial system: higher borrowing costs and inflation pressure on one side, and efforts to reduce trade friction on the other.

4. Bond Yields Are Increasingly Connected to Currencies

Higher U.S. yields can influence international capital flows because investors compare returns across major currencies and bond markets.

Reuters reported that expectations for additional Federal Reserve tightening were helping support the dollar, while the yen strengthened after Japan and the United States reaffirmed their commitment to currency stability.

This creates a direct connection between government debt, interest rates and currency markets.

When interest-rate expectations change significantly in one major economy, capital can move across borders in response, creating additional pressure on other currencies and financial markets.

 WHY IT MATTERS

The bond market is one of the most important foundations of the global financial system.

Government bonds influence interest rates, borrowing costs, investment decisions, currency values and capital flows. When yields rise sharply across several major economies at the same time, the effects can extend well beyond bond investors.

The current situation is particularly significant because several forces are interacting simultaneously:

Persistent inflation concerns + elevated energy prices + higher interest rates + large government borrowing needs = greater pressure on global debt markets.

At the same time, the reported China-U.S. tariff agreement introduces a potentially stabilizing factor for international trade by reducing some trade friction between the world's two largest economies.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

For foreign currency holders, rising bond yields matter because interest-rate differences can influence currency demand and international capital flows.

A currency connected to a country with relatively high interest rates can attract capital seeking higher returns, while currencies facing lower relative yields can come under pressure.

But currency movements are influenced by many factors, including economic growth, inflation, trade balances, central-bank policy, government finances and investor confidence.

The important Global Reset connection is therefore not that today's bond-market move guarantees a currency revaluation. Rather, it demonstrates how the underlying financial conditions that determine currency values are continuing to change.

 IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Debt

Higher bond yields increase the cost of refinancing government debt. Over time, persistent increases in borrowing costs can make debt management an increasingly important part of national economic policy.

• Pillar 2: Trade

The reported China-U.S. tariff-reduction arrangement could reduce some trade friction between the world's two largest economies. Continued negotiations could influence global supply chains, investment and international commerce.

• Pillar 3: Assets

Government bonds remain a benchmark for pricing many other financial assets. When long-term yields rise, investors reassess the relative value of equities, real estate, corporate debt and other investments.

• Pillar 4: Energy

Oil prices remain an important part of the inflation picture. Even though crude prices eased during the latest trading session, oil remained above $100 a barrel, keeping energy-related inflation concerns relevant to bond markets.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The latest bond-market moves show that global debt markets are entering a period in which inflation, interest rates and government borrowing costs are increasingly interconnected.

The new China-U.S. trade understanding provides a potentially important counterweight by offering a path toward lower tariff pressure and greater economic cooperation, but it does not remove the underlying challenges confronting global bond markets.

For Global Reset watchers, the bigger issue is the gradual restructuring of the financial environment itself: governments, central banks, currencies, trade systems and investors are all adjusting to a world of higher debt costs and changing international relationships.

The bigger story is not simply that bond yields are rising—it is that the foundations upon which currencies, debt, trade and global capital flows operate are being reshaped as the world financial system evolves.

America Keeps Threatening the Lenders It Can't Afford to Lose

America Keeps Threatening the Lenders It Can't Afford to Lose

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) September 24, 2026

Late last week, Congress and the White House established a new law authorizing the President to impose tariffs of up to 100% on any country that ranks among the five biggest buyers of Russian oil or gas.

This law had broad, bi-partisan support and passed by a whopping 86-11 margin in the otherwise deadlocked Senate, and 262-159 in the House of Representatives.

Their big idea is to penalize anyone who supports Russia economically by buying their oil & gas, and that specifically singles out China and India— the biggest buyers of Russian crude.

In fairness, India and China aren’t buying Russian oil to help prop up Putin or assist him in winning the war. They don’t really care. They just like the fact that Russian oil is REALLY cheap right now. It’s a good deal, and they like scoring good deals for their country.

At the moment there is no international law preventing anyone from buying Russian oil & gas; this restriction is something the US wants to impose in order to force Russia into a peace over Ukraine.

And it may very well be a good idea in terms of bringing an end to the war in Ukraine. We make no judgment on the moral implications.

Unfortunately the world is not so black and white, especially when you have a $40 trillion national debt. When your fiscal situation is in such dire straits, you have to weight the pro’s and con’s.

And the con’s are numerous: given its gargantuan national debt and the need to borrow an ADDITIONAL $2 trillion per year just to finance the budget deficit and stay afloat, the US government has to rely on foreign creditors more than ever.

In short, America desperately needs cash-rich foreigners to continue buying US government bonds.

It’s a bit difficult to shove this rule down their throats and tell foreign countries, “We will force you to stop buying cheap Russian oil,” yet simultaneously ask those same countries to loan you hundreds of billions of dollars.

The strangest part is that this is nothing new.

Back in February 2022, days after Russia invaded Ukraine, the US and its allies froze about $300 billion of the Russian central bank's reserves.

Again, whether it was justified is beyond the point. US government bonds had long been considered the safest asset on earth. But every central banker on the planet learned that day that US Treasury bonds were only safe as long as their country stayed on America's good side.

That’s why foreign governments and central banks have been quietly diversifying away from US government bonds and buying gold... because no other government can freeze the physical gold in their own vaults.

In fact, for the first time in decades, the world's central banks now hold more gold than they hold US Treasury securities.

China in particular has cut its Treasury holdings in half since 2013, and they're now at their lowest level since 2008.

Japan, the biggest foreign lender of all, has seen its Treasury holdings fall every month since April.

At peak (in 2011), foreigners owned nearly half of all marketable US Treasury bonds. Now foreigners’ share of Treasury securities is down to just over 30%.

That’s a fairly slow burn over 15 years; it’s not panic selling. But it’s a clear and obvious trend.

These same foreign nations have also been openly discussing how to rely less on the US financial system.

The BRICS countries, led by China, India, Russia, and Brazil, met in Delhi earlier this month and agreed to settle more of their trade in their own currencies.

This is a big deal; if India starts accepting Chinese yuan, or Russia accepts Indian rupee, these nations by definition won’t need to hold as many US dollars. And a decline in demand for US dollars translates into less demand to hold dollar-denominated assets like US government bonds.

Xi Jinping arrived at the White House yesterday, and he came to negotiate on trade as the leader of one of America's three largest creditors.

China has serious leverage; even though they have been selling their Treasury bonds slowly over time, they still own a ton of them. And if Xi wanted to, he could dump them in a heartbeat and cause a complete collapse of the bond market. Interest rates would skyrocket.

To be clear, such a move would wound China as well. But America would be hurt the most. It’s a nuclear option he could exercise, and it gives him real negotiating power.

America seems to think it’s still the 1990s when everyone was begging to buy US government bonds... which is exactly what gave them the leverage to be able to weaponize the US dollar.

That is simply no longer the world we live in. US finances are incredibly weak. And every time America tries to flex its US dollar power over the financial system, more foreign lenders walk away.

It’s not clear to me if anyone in Washington even understands this reality. No one seems to be questioning, “Will this action increase or decrease foreigners’ demand to buy US dollars and US government bonds?”

And I doubt anyone is really doing any real analysis to weight the benefits of, say, peace in Ukraine, against the potential costs of losing more foreign lenders.

By the way, if you’re thinking, “Big deal, America can finance its own deficits,” it cannot.

The entirety of ALL net private savings in the US, i.e. the total amount that corporations and households manage to save, is only about $2.2 trillion each year. The budget deficit for FY2026 is projected to be about $2.1 trillion.

So basically the US economy would need to dump 95% of its total net savings into US government bonds, leaving just $100 billion to finance EVERYTHING ELSE in the economy, from data centers to mortgages to every other investment.

This is why the US needs foreigners so much. When you burn up that much money, you can’t afford to turn away any lender.

If they keep alienating foreigners, there will essentially be only one lender remaining— and that’s the Federal Reserve, which has the ability to create money out of thin air.

We all saw how that works during the pandemic, when the Fed created roughly $5 trillion to finance all of the debt-fueled government bailouts. The result of that money creation was 9% inflation.

This is why we continue to write that real assets make so much sense.

The Fed can create money by the trillion, and the government can borrow to oblivion. Neither can print an ounce of gold or a barrel of oil. And that’s why real assets tend to hold their value, and often climb, exactly when paper money is falling apart.

Owning a piece of the companies that produce real assets— metals, energy, productive technology— is a great way to protect yourself from higher prices and inflation.

Clare:  The Central Bank of Iraq mandates new procedures for import transfers from banks.

9/24/2026

Al-Mustaqilla obtained a document issued by the Central Bank of Iraq, which includes a new executive mechanism to regulate foreign financial transfers for import purposes, and link them to customs declaration procedures and the prior payment of fees and tax deposits.

According to the document, issued by the Banking Supervision Department on September 24, 2026 and addressed to all licensed banks, the procedures come in implementation of paragraph four of Cabinet Resolution No. 413 of 2026, and with reference to the letter from the Ministry of Finance/General Authority of Customs.

The mechanism requires banks to ensure that all financial transfers allocated for imports are subject, before the transfer process is completed, to declaration or "pre-statement" and the pre-payment of customs duties and tax deposits through the ASYCUDA system.

The Central Bank also mandated that banks continue to include the pre-statement number in the data of external financial transfers, and link it electronically to the banking transfer system, in order to allow for matching the transfer with the pre-statement and accurately monitoring the import process.

The document reveals that the pre-clearance procedures will include all external transfers, whether financed from the banks’ own balances or from the balances reinforced by the Central Bank of Iraq, while the Central Bank is responsible for providing the General Authority of Customs with data on those transfers.

The instructions also included standardizing the coding of foreign transfers, which allows differentiation between transfers for importing goods and merchandise and transfers for shipping, insurance and services related to imported goods.

Under the mechanism, banks will follow up on financial transfers related to goods to be imported, as well as deal in accordance with applicable decisions and instructions with importers whose goods have not entered or whose import process has not been completed.

One of the important measures included in the document is obligating banks to obtain SWIFT verification of transfers before the initial approval of the preliminary statement, which enhances the matching process between the financial transfer and the import transaction.

The mechanism also stipulated the adoption of an electronic system for refunding customs duties and tax deposits previously collected in the event of a transfer being rejected or the import not being carried out in whole or in part, in coordination between the General Authority of Customs, the General Authority of Taxes and the Accounting Department in the Ministry of Finance.

However, the document stipulated that in cases of total or partial non-import, the funds that were transferred must be returned first, and confirmation must be provided from the bank that executed the financial transfer.

The Central Bank called on the Ministry of Finance, the General Authority of Customs, the General Authority of Taxes, and all banks to organize an explanatory media campaign before the date of implementation of the new procedures.

These instructions refer to tightening the linking of funds allocated for imports with customs and tax data, with the aim of raising the level of conformity and tracking between external transfer and the actual import of goods.  LINK

Jeff   They're completely telling you, October moving forward, they're sovereign and international...The only way Iraq can be financially sovereign is to have full control over their own money, to have all their OPEC dollars back in their possession.  They have to have full control of their money system...reserves, everything.  I can't stress that enough.

Jeff   As we get closer to September 30th, with the full withdrawal of US forces, do you see Iraq overall transitioning from a war era to a bilateral business era?  I do.  For example, PM Zaidi...signing/massing business economic trade agreements.  Plus they have all these new taxes coming forward.  They have the prepaid transit fees coming forward on October 1st.   Major things happening as we get close to this date of September 30th at which US troops will be completely out of Iraq...

  He considered thatUS"It is involved in numerous regional issues and does not want to drag Iraq into another crisis, but it will use pressure tactics, including internal ones, to exert pressure on certain parties," he noted, adding that "the political forces, including the factions, ultimately agree on the goal of regulating the weapons file."

He stated that "the disagreement regarding the restriction of weapons revolves around the timing, mechanisms, and terminology, issues that require internal dialogue," explaining that "there is an opinion within some circles that responding to demands related to weapons regulation should be met with tangible Western steps toward Iraq, particularly in the economic, service, and investment sectors."

Qi Mastercard Purchases Abroad Stopped Since Sept. 19, Company Source Says

BAGHDAD — Cardholders with Qi Mastercard cards have been unable to make purchases abroad since Sept. 19 because of system upgrades, a source at the company told 964media, confirming at least part of the complaint that Iraqi cards were failing overseas. Qi’s Visa cards continue to work outside Iraq.

“Development work is currently underway at the company, and because these upgrades took place directly on the system, there has been some disruption for all Qi Mastercard users,” said the source, who asked not to be named.

“They were working normally, and users could make purchases abroad before Sept. 19, but purchases have now stopped, while Visa cards issued by Qi continue to work normally outside Iraq.”

Withdrawals, payments and transfers inside Iraq are working on both, including personal, savings, employee, pension, business and gaming cards. No date was given for restoring the service.

Qi is one of Iraq’s main card issuers, widely used to pay public salaries, pensions and welfare benefits. Qi Visa cards carry a monthly limit of 6 million dinars on purchases abroad, about $4,500 at the official rate at which card spending overseas is settled. International ATM withdrawals are capped at 500,000 dinars a month for most cardholders, about $380, split into withdrawals of 200,000, 200,000 and 100,000 dinars, and at 650,000 dinars for employee and pension cards.

The source said Visa cards may also fail abroad if the limit has been reached, international use has not been enabled, the card has not been activated or the balance is insufficient.

The Trade Bank of Iraq denied on Tuesday that its own cards had been suspended, after former lawmaker Majid Shankali said Iraqis abroad, including students, retirees and travellers, had been unable to use cards issued by Iraqi banks for several days.

The disruption began on the day the Central Bank said its reserves were sufficient to settle card transactions, finance trade and supply travellers with dollars at the official rate, amid a widening gap between the official rate of 1,320 dinars to the dollar and a parallel market that reached about 1,602 at the weekend.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

IRAN RESET WATCH: U.S. REJECTS 7-DAY HORMUZ PLAN AS OIL AND GLOBAL MARKETS REMAIN ON EDGE

The reported U.S. rejection of Iran’s seven-day proposal keeps the Strait of Hormuz at the center of global energy, trade and financial-market uncertainty.

 OVERVIEW

• Iran has proposed a seven-day pathway that would halt regional fighting, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restart broader negotiations, including discussions involving its nuclear program.

• The United States has reportedly rejected the proposal, according to a Wall Street Journal report cited by Reuters, although Tehran was still awaiting an official U.S. response as of September 26.

• Hormuz remains a major pressure point for the global economy, with disruption to the waterway affecting oil transportation, shipping costs, inflation expectations and financial markets.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. Iran Puts a Seven-Day Hormuz Roadmap on the Table

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran had delivered its proposal to the United States through intermediaries.

Under the plan, the process would begin if Washington accepted the proposal. Initial steps would include a ceasefire and changes to the U.S. blockade and sanctions position. The Strait of Hormuz would then reopen within the seven-day timetable, followed by broader negotiations.

The proposal would also revive discussions involving Iran’s nuclear program, making the plan broader than simply reopening the waterway.

2. Washington Is Reported to Have Rejected the Proposal

A Reuters report published September 26 said Iran was awaiting a U.S. response after the Wall Street Journal reported that President Donald Trump had rejected the proposal.

The distinction is important: the reported rejection has been attributed to unnamed U.S. officials, while Iranian officials continued to await Washington’s formal response. This means the seven-day plan should be viewed as a diplomatic proposal rather than an agreement.

3. Hormuz Remains a Financial Pressure Point

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important energy shipping corridors. Continued disruption has forced oil producers and shipping companies to find alternative ways to move crude.

Reuters reported that ship-to-ship transfers near Oman have expanded as producers attempt to keep exports moving despite the conflict. The workaround has helped maintain oil flows, but at a much higher transportation cost, with tanker freight rates rising sharply.

That creates a broader economic chain reaction: geopolitical tension → energy disruption → higher transportation costs → inflation pressure → interest-rate pressure → currency and capital-flow effects.

WHY IT MATTERS

The Strait of Hormuz has become more than a regional security issue. It is now directly connected to energy prices, international trade, shipping costs, inflation and financial-market expectations.

• When the world's energy supply routes become more expensive or uncertain, the effects can spread through the global economy. Higher energy and transportation costs can influence inflation, while inflation can affect central-bank policy and interest rates.

• At the same time, countries and companies are being forced to develop alternative transportation and settlement arrangements to keep international commerce moving.

• The Hormuz situation demonstrates how geopolitical events can accelerate changes in the infrastructure supporting global trade and finance.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

For foreign currency holders, the important issue is not that the Hormuz situation guarantees a currency revaluation. It does not.

The significance is that energy prices, inflation, interest rates and international capital flows all influence the environment in which currencies are valued.

A prolonged disruption could increase pressure on countries that depend heavily on imported energy. Conversely, a durable diplomatic agreement that restores normal shipping could reduce some of that pressure.

The seven-day proposal therefore represents a potential turning point to watch, rather than proof that a financial reset or currency revaluation is about to occur.

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Trade

Continued disruption around Hormuz is forcing energy producers and shipping companies to redesign transportation routes and develop costly alternatives. This highlights how geopolitical events can reshape the infrastructure underlying global trade.

• Pillar 2: Debt

Higher energy and transportation costs can contribute to inflation and increase pressure on governments and central banks. If higher inflation keeps interest rates elevated, the cost of servicing government debt can become an even greater issue.

• Pillar 3: Energy

Energy security is becoming increasingly interconnected with financial stability. The effort to keep oil moving through alternative routes demonstrates how critical energy infrastructure is to the functioning of the global economy.

• Pillar 4: Technology

The expansion of ship-to-ship transfers and alternative logistics networks shows how global commerce is adapting to disruption. Over time, similar pressures can encourage greater investment in digital tracking, automated logistics and new forms of financial settlement.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Iran's seven-day Hormuz proposal is a significant diplomatic development, but it remains a proposal rather than a completed agreement.

The reported U.S. rejection means the immediate uncertainty surrounding the Strait continues, while markets remain sensitive to the effects on oil, shipping, inflation and global trade.

For Global Reset watchers, the larger lesson is that energy security, geopolitical relationships and financial stability are becoming increasingly interconnected.

The bigger story is not simply whether the Strait of Hormuz reopens—it is how every major disruption is pushing nations, markets and businesses to rethink the infrastructure that supports the global financial system.

 🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:   • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.    Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Bypassing the Fed? Gold-Backed Cash, Trump’s Money Plans & Old Glory Pay Explained

Bypassing the Fed? Gold-Backed Cash, Trump’s Money Plans & Old Glory Pay Explained

Jon Dowling and Chris Real World:  9-25-2026

In a compelling conversation with Jon Dowling, Mike Ring, co‑CEO of Old Glory Bank, pulled back the curtain on how the nation’s central bank, the Federal Reserve, shapes the everyday reality for smaller, values‑driven financial institutions.

From the Fed’s entrenched influence to the bold integration of blockchain technology, Ring’s insights paint a vivid picture of an industry at a crossroads—one where constitutional freedoms, customer protection, and innovative digital assets intersect.

Mike Ring characterizes the Federal Reserve not as a neutral arbiter of monetary policy but as a guardian of large‑bank interests.

According to Ring, the Fed’s decision‑making apparatus operates with limited public accountability, often favoring established players that already dominate the financial landscape. This dynamic, he argues, discourages competition and chokes the entrepreneurial spirit of smaller banks that seek to deliver services rooted in constitutional values.

The conversation underscored a recurring theme: when the regulatory nucleus leans toward preserving the status quo, innovative challengers find themselves squeezed out of the market before they can even make a meaningful impact.

One of the most striking anecdotes Ring shared involved a last‑minute “pocket veto” by the Federal Reserve that halted Old Glory Bank’s pioneering public offering, known internally as the “dispack” method. The initiative aimed to blend traditional banking with cryptocurrency‑friendly mechanisms, creating a hybrid model that could democratize access to capital while preserving consumer privacy.

Ring described the abrupt block as emblematic of a broader regulatory inertia that stalls groundbreaking financial models, especially those that incorporate decentralized finance (DeFi) concepts. The episode illustrates how the Fed’s discretionary power can be wielded to protect existing interests, effectively placing a ceiling on the ambition of smaller, forward‑thinking banks.

Amid the regulatory turbulence, the passage of the Genius Act emerged as a beacon for those seeking a more autonomous monetary system.

The legislation authorizes the issuance of stablecoins backed by cash or short‑term Treasury securities, providing a digital medium that is both reliable and resistant to centralized control. Ring highlighted the potential of these stablecoins to deliver privacy, security, and liberty—a trifecta he referred to as “PSL.” By anchoring digital tokens to tangible assets, the Genius Act paves the way for a form of money that operates outside the prying eyes of traditional payment processors and central banks, thereby reinforcing financial sovereignty for everyday users.

Old Glory Bank’s operational philosophy centers on self‑reliance. Rather than leaning heavily on large correspondent banks that may be exposed to systemic shocks or political pressure, Ring explained that Old Glory has cultivated a network of carefully selected partnerships.

This approach mitigates the risk of contagion that plagues smaller institutions when larger banks falter or when the Federal Reserve applies indirect pressure. By maintaining a degree of independence, Old Glory can continue to serve its community with a focus on constitutional freedoms, even as the broader banking ecosystem moves toward consolidation.

Recognizing the limitations of a modest branch footprint, Old Glory Bank introduced the “Glory Cash In” service—a nationwide cash‑deposit solution that leverages retail giants such as Dollar General and Walmart.

This hybrid model allows customers to deposit physical cash at easily accessible locations while still benefiting from the speed and convenience of digital banking. The strategy illustrates how a small, mission‑driven bank can expand its reach without the capital‑intensive rollout of traditional branches, thereby providing a seamless bridge between the analog and digital worlds.

Security often becomes a point of contention between large financial institutions and their smaller counterparts. Ring emphasized Old Glory’s commitment to a customer‑centric security model that goes beyond the reactive measures typical of big banks.

By employing behavioral analytics, such as login anomaly detection, and imposing prudent withdrawal limits, Old Glory can preempt phishing attacks and account takeovers. This proactive stance reflects the bank’s philosophy that security should serve to protect consumers, not merely to satisfy regulatory checkboxes.

Perhaps the most forward‑looking portion of the discussion centered on Old Glory Bank’s upcoming “NextGen Banking” platform. The initiative promises to enable customers to move fiat currency directly from FDIC‑insured accounts onto blockchain networks using any self‑custodial wallet of their choice.

In doing so, the platform bypasses traditional intermediaries such as Coinbase or SoFi, granting users full control over their assets while maintaining the safety net of federal insurance. Ring portrayed this development as a natural evolution—one that merges the robust safeguards of conventional banking with the transparency and autonomy of decentralized finance.

Looking ahead, Ring outlined a roadmap that intertwines digital innovation with a steadfast dedication to constitutional liberties. He sees the convergence of stablecoins, blockchain integration, and strategic independence as the foundation for a financial system that is both resilient and resistant to undue governmental surveillance.

In Ring’s view, the emerging “digital reset”—driven by geopolitical shifts and evolving monetary policy—offers an unprecedented opportunity for small banks to champion a transparent, customer‑first approach that larger institutions have historically overlooked.

Mike Ring’s conversation with Jon Dowling serves as both a cautionary tale and an inspirational blueprint. The narrative reveals how the Federal Reserve’s entrenched power can hinder innovation, yet it also showcases how a determined, values‑driven bank can navigate those obstacles through strategic partnerships, legislative advocacy, and cutting‑edge technology.

By embracing stablecoins, expanding cash‑in networks, and deploying blockchain‑based platforms, Old Glory Bank illustrates a roadmap for other small, patriotic banks yearning to preserve financial freedom while protecting their customers.

The broader implication is clear: when smaller institutions align their mission with emerging digital tools, they can create a resilient alternative to a centralized, surveillance‑heavy financial system. As regulatory landscapes evolve and the industry continues its digital transformation, the dialogue sparked by Ring’s insights will undoubtedly influence the next generation of banking—one that strives for transparency, decentralization, and unwavering respect for constitutional values.

Bond Market Collapse, Debt Trap, Dollar Crisis, Massive Economic Crash Incoming

Bond Market Collapse, Debt Trap, Dollar Crisis, Massive Economic Crash Incoming

Lena Petrova:  9-25-2026

In a recent and deeply insightful discussion hosted by Lena Petrova, renowned economist Peter Schiff provided a comprehensive overview of the looming financial hurdles facing the global economy today.

The conversation shed light on critical issues such as a predicted bond market correction, soaring national debt servicing costs, potential currency shifts, and persistent inflationary pressures that continue to be influenced by global energy dynamics.

Schiff elaborated extensively on the deteriorating state of public finances, pointing to the unprecedented rise in Treasury yields reaching multi-decade highs. With national debt figures continuing to expand and requiring financing at increasingly higher interest rates, experts and observers alike are paying close attention to the sustainability of current fiscal paths and the broader implications for financial markets worldwide.

During the interview, Schiff addressed the difficult position facing monetary authorities as they attempt to balance the necessity of controlling price increases with the desire to maintain market stability.

This delicate balancing act takes place against a backdrop of tightening credit conditions and changing consumer behavior, where financial strain is becoming increasingly visible across various sectors.

Furthermore, the discussion highlighted ongoing vulnerabilities within the global energy sector, noting how fluctuations in fuel and oil costs continue to place upward pressure on operational expenses for businesses and households alike. These combined pressures underscore the complex nature of managing modern economic systems during periods of transition.

The dialogue also ventured into the realm of modern technology, specifically evaluating the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and its associated market dynamics. While acknowledging the transformative long-term potential of advanced computing and automation, Schiff cautioned against the formation of speculative excesses fueled by aggressive corporate investments and elevated valuations reminiscent of previous technological shifts.

The heavy demand for capital from both private technology enterprises and public sector borrowers creates a competitive environment that can push yields higher, feeding into broader financial trends.

As market participants evaluate these diverse risks, many are also observing a gradual diversification into traditional safe-haven assets like gold, reflecting a cautious outlook on fiat currencies and long-term monetary stability.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

DIGITAL DOLLAR RESET WATCH: FED PROPOSES NEW STABLECOIN RULES UNDER GENIUS ACT

The Federal Reserve is moving to establish the regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, bringing digital dollar infrastructure closer to the regulated banking system.

 OVERVIEW

• New Fed proposals: The Federal Reserve has requested public comment on two proposals establishing a regulatory framework for Board-supervised payment stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act.

• Treasury-backed reserves: The framework would require covered stablecoins to be fully backed by permitted reserve assets, including short-term Treasury bills and other high-quality liquid assets.

• Digital money moves closer to banking: The proposals would establish rules for stablecoin issuance, reserve custody, capital and risk management, and bank applications to issue payment stablecoins.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. The Federal Reserve Begins Building the Stablecoin Rulebook

On September 24, the Federal Reserve requested public comment on two proposals designed to implement its responsibilities under the GENIUS Act.

The first proposal would establish requirements for payment stablecoin issuers supervised by the Federal Reserve. It includes standards for permissible reserve assets, capital, risk management and custody of reserve assets.

The comment period will remain open for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, giving banks, financial institutions, technology companies and other interested parties an opportunity to respond.

2. Stablecoins Would Be Tied to High-Quality Financial Assets

Under the proposed framework, covered payment stablecoins would have to be fully backed by permitted reserve assets.

Those assets could include short-term U.S. Treasury bills and other high-quality, liquid assets. The purpose is to provide the reserves needed to support stablecoin redemption and maintain confidence in the digital payment instrument.

This creates an important connection between digital dollars and traditional financial assets.

As stablecoins become more integrated into payments, the assets supporting those digital tokens become part of the infrastructure connecting digital finance with conventional markets.

3. Banks Could Receive a Formal Path to Issue Payment Stablecoins

The second Federal Reserve proposal would establish a process for Board-supervised banks seeking approval to issue payment stablecoins.

Applicants would have to provide information including a business plan and financial information. The proposal also establishes procedures for applications, appeals, hearings and final determinations.

That is significant because it moves stablecoins beyond their earlier association primarily with cryptocurrency markets and toward a potential role within regulated banking and payment infrastructure.

WHY IT MATTERS

The Federal Reserve's proposals represent another step in the broader transformation of how money can be issued, transferred and settled.

• Stablecoins are designed to maintain a stable value relative to a currency, most commonly the U.S. dollar. A regulated framework could make them more usable for payments, settlement and movement of money across digital financial networks.

• The Fed is also emphasizing safeguards. Governor Michael Barr said the framework needs strong protections so that stablecoins can be reliably redeemed at par, including during periods of financial stress.

• This highlights the central challenge facing regulators: how to encourage faster and more innovative digital payments while maintaining confidence and stability in the monetary system.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

For foreign currency holders watching the Global Financial Reset, the important development is the continued movement toward digitizing the infrastructure through which currencies move.

The Federal Reserve proposal does not announce a new digital dollar or a currency revaluation. Instead, it establishes rules for a private-sector form of digital dollar—the payment stablecoin—within a regulated framework.

The connection to Treasury bills is particularly important because it links digital payment instruments with the traditional U.S. financial system.

Over time, the expansion of regulated digital-dollar infrastructure could influence how international payments, cross-border settlement and currency transactions are conducted.

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 3: Assets

The proposed reserve framework connects stablecoins directly to traditional financial assets, including short-term U.S. Treasury bills. This could strengthen the relationship between digital money and established financial markets.

• Pillar 4: Technology

Stablecoins represent a technological change in how money can move between people, businesses and financial institutions. A formal regulatory framework could accelerate the integration of digital assets, blockchain-based settlement and programmable payment infrastructure.

• Pillar 2: Trade

More widely adopted digital payment systems could eventually make cross-border transactions faster and more automated. If stablecoins become increasingly useful for international settlement, they could become another component of the infrastructure supporting global commerce.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Federal Reserve's new proposals do not represent the arrival of a new U.S. currency or a currency revaluation. They represent something more foundational: the beginning of a detailed regulatory framework for digital dollar payment instruments operating within the U.S. financial system.

The proposed rules also demonstrate how policymakers are attempting to connect digital innovation, traditional banking, Treasury markets and payment systems rather than allowing these developments to evolve entirely separately.

The bigger story is that the future of global finance may be shaped not only by what currencies are worth, but by how money itself is redesigned to move through the next generation of the financial system.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Friday Morning 9-25-26

How Did Swift Become A Bargaining Chip In Washington's Hands?

Information/Baghdad...  Expert and strategic analyst Qasim Qasir confirmed on Thursday that the US administration continues its policy of economic blackmail and systematic financial piracy against countries and peoples who reject its policies of hegemony and arrogance. He pointed out that Washington has transformed the global financial system, the SWIFT system, and the dollar into tools of war and pressure to punish anyone who opposes its dictates and dubious agendas.

Qasir told Al-Maalouma, “The United States is exploiting its influence and historical control over monetary institutions and international banking systems to impose an unjust and coercive blockade outside the framework of international law and Security Council resolutions.”

 He explained that "the use of the US dollar as a tool of political and economic punishment reflects the bankruptcy of the Western system and its decline to impose its conditions through traditional means ability."

He added that "the arbitrary decisions recently taken by Washington to impose a no-fly zone on Iranian civilian aircraft and attempt to force countries in the region to comply with it represent a blatant and flagrant violation of international laws and conventions, particularly the Chicago Convention regulating the safety and freedom of civil aviation."

He stressed that "targeting civilian and humanitarian flights is a dangerous precedent that exposes the falsity of American slogans regarding human rights, freedom of trade, and freedom of movement."

The strategic expert pointed out that "the American escalation in militarizing the economy and politicalizing international financial transactions has become a primary incentive for countries in the region and the axis of resistance to expedite the dismantling of the dollar's dominance and to build banking alliances and trade exchanges in local currencies to liberate themselves from the unjust restrictions and blackmail that threaten the stability and regions of free nations."

Earlier, Fadi Abu Dayyeh, a specialist in international affairs and regional politics, affirmed that the American aggression targeting a number of Iranian cities and provinces constitutes a flagrant violation of the state's autonomy and territorial integrity, holding Washington fully responsible for breaching the agreements signed between the two sides.

The Central Bank Of Iraq Mandates New Procedures For Import Transfers From Banks.

Last updated: September 24, 2026  Al-Mustaqilla - Al-Mustaqilla obtained a document issued by the Central Bank of Iraq, which includes a new executive mechanism to regulate foreign financial transfers for import purposes, and link them to customs declaration procedures and the prior payment of fees and tax deposits.

According to the document, issued by the Banking Supervision Department on September 24, 2026 and addressed to all licensed banks, the procedures come in implementation of paragraph four of Cabinet Resolution No. 413 of 2026, and with reference to the letter from the Ministry of Finance/General Authority of Customs.

The mechanism requires banks to ensure that all financial transfers allocated for imports are subject, before the transfer process is completed, to declaration or "pre-statement" and the pre-payment of customs duties and tax deposits through the ASYCUDA system.

The Central Bank also mandated that banks continue to include the pre-statement number in the data of external financial transfers, and link it electronically to the banking transfer system, in order to allow for matching the transfer with the pre-statement and accurately monitoring the import process.

The document reveals that the pre-clearance procedures will include all external transfers, whether financed from the banks’ own balances or from the balances reinforced by the Central Bank of Iraq, while the Central Bank is responsible for providing the General Authority of Customs with data on those transfers.

The instructions also included standardizing the coding of foreign transfers, which allows differentiation between transfers for importing goods and merchandise and transfers for shipping, insurance and services related to imported goods.

Under the mechanism, banks will follow up on financial transfers related to goods to be imported, as well as deal in accordance with applicable decisions and instructions with mporters whose goods have not entered or whose import process has not been completed.

One of the important measures included in the document is obligating banks to obtain SWIFT verification of transfers before the initial approval of the preliminary statement, which enhances the matching process between the financial transfer and the import transaction.

The mechanism also stipulated the adoption of an electronic system for refunding customs duties and tax deposits previously collected in the event of a transfer being rejected or the import not being carried out in whole or in part, in coordination between the General Authority of Customs, the General Authority of Taxes and the Accounting Department in the Ministry of Finance.

However, the document stipulated that in cases of total or partial non-import, the funds that were transferred must be returned first, and confirmation must be provided from the bank that executed the financial transfer.

The Central Bank called on the Ministry of Finance, the General Authority of Customs, the General Authority of Taxes, and all banks to organize an explanatory media campaign before the date of implementation of the new procedures.

These instructions refer to tightening the linking of funds allocated for imports with customs and tax data, with the aim of raising the level of conformity and tracking between external transfer and the actual import of goods.

Ariel: Do you Know What was Just Announced?

Ariel: Do you Know What was Just Announced?

9-25-2026

Do You Know What Was Just Announced?

Translation: This is Iraq’s official invite to American banks to plug directly into its financial system, which ends the isolation that kept the dinar suppressed and unlocks foreign capital inflows that can only settle at a market-reflective rate.

American bank entry forces correspondent banking upgrades, SWIFT normalization, and institutional creditworthiness that the program rate was never designed to support, meaning the rate must adjust to sustain those relationships.

For dinar holders, this is the infrastructure guarantee that your physical IQD will have a direct, bankable path into the global financial system at whatever the revalued rate publishes because no American bank is wiring dollars into Baghdad to trade at 1,310.

Do you not understand what they are telling you indirectly?

You will get to walk into these American banks with your Iraqi Dinar and exchange at any given rate.

They are now preparing for your attendance.

The recent news by Iraq isn’t a press release about future hopes it’s a documented diplomatic action hosted by Iraq’s Permanent Mission to the UN in New York, which means it carries the full institutional weight of the Iraqi government, not some ministry spokesman floating a trial balloon.

American banks don’t send representatives to UN-hosted roundtables for countries they consider financial pariahs; they show up when they’ve already seen the regulatory road map and want first-mover advantage on integration deals.

If the dinar were staying at program rate indefinitely, no U.S. financial institution would waste a Tuesday afternoon discussing correspondent relationships with Rafidain and TBI because the spreads wouldn’t justify the compliance overhead.

The fact that they did show up tells you the rate adjustment is baked into the timeline, and the banks are positioning for the settlement corridor, not the press conference.
