SEC PUBLISHES DISCLOSURE GUIDANCE FOR CRYPTO ISSUERS

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published guidance on the application of disclosure requirements to crypto-asset securities issuances. It acknowledged that this is an interim step while the SEC Crypto Task Force works on comprehensive guidance. Issuers are expected to comply for the issuance of debt or equity, or a crypto-asset token which is an investment contract at the point of issuance.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Commissioner Peirce has previously noted that many cryptocurrency tokens might be investment contracts subject to securities laws at the point of issuance, but subsequently evolve into commodities. Precisely how that transition is assessed remains to be seen.

The latest guidance might be described as a layman’s guide of what is expected in an S-1 filing, which is made for a securities issuance. However, there are a few points that will particularly impact crypto projects.

Securities: Disclosures that crypto firms need to adapt to

For example, we’ve seen a few crypto projects where the description appears overly technical. The SEC says the business description must be “presented in clear, concise, and understandable language, without overly relying on technical terminology or jargon.”

Some crypto projects have pseudonymous founders. The problem is someone who is extremely dodgy and has been convicted of crimes will embrace the opportunity to take on a pseudonymous persona. While the guidance doesn’t mention pseudonymous founders, it clarifies that officers have to be identified, including those that may not have formal roles but “perform policy-making functions”.

Beyond the very early stages, the issuers of most cryptocurrencies don’t know the identities of the token holders. But at the point of issuance they at least know their wallet addresses. Securities laws require there to be a record of ownership, and the issuer has to disclose where that record is held. This will require crypto firms to get more investor data at issuance and could prove tricky in the early stages of secondary market trading.

Another topic that many crypto firms don’t really address, is what happens if the project fails. Who has the rights to what? That’s something that securities disclosures demand. Additionally, many crypto projects when issuing tokens are often vague about who owns the equity in the issuer. Again, that does not fly in a compliant world.

These new disclosure expectations represent just one element of the SEC’s evolving approach to cryptocurrency regulation under the new leadership of Acting Chair Uyeda. The first action was to rescind SAB 121 that prevented banks from providing digital asset custody.

It has provided guidance on meme coins, crypto mining and stablecoins. Plus, it created a crypto taskforce, which held the first of several crypto roundtables, and it withdrew from various legal cases.

BRICS LAUNCHES INITIATIVE FOR INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS SYSTEM

Amid increased geopolitical uncertainty, the BRICS alliance is taking action, as the bloc has launched an initiative for an international payment system. Indeed, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has announced the efforts for the bloc to create a payment system that rivals the Western-dominated SWIFT in a recent statement.

The efforts come as a global trade war appears to be inching closer. China, one of the original BRICS countries, is caught in a battle of increased tariffs with the United States that may soon create even more divide and disdain between the West and the Global South.

BRICS Launching New Payment System Initiative Amid Rising Global Tensions

The global economy has seen tension increase over the last two weeks. Specifically, the United States unveiled a new Liberation Day tariff plan, introducing a baseline 10% import duty on all nations. The move sparked concern and outrage, with several countries responding in kind.

The US stock market plummeted, with the economy’s fragility being placed front and center. So, the country opted to place a 90-day pause on the tariff for every nation outside of China. However, the presence of these economic policies has not come without preparatory actions by various nations. Among them is BRICS, which officially launched an initiative for an international payment system.

Russian official Sergey Lavrov discussed the project in a recent statement. “There is an opportunity to form payment platforms that are independent of external influence,” he said. “One of the options is the financial messaging system of the Russian Central Bank.”

Moreover, Lavrov added that the project would be “convenient and completely independent of SWIFT.” Additionally, he highlighted the presence of “several other initiatives under discussion, including within the BRICS framework.”

The proposal to create an alternative payment platform was proposed by Brazil, Lavrov confirmed. Indeed, Brazil is the 2025 BRICS chairman and has been outspoken in its de-dollarization hopes for much of the last several years. This move appears to be aligned with that perspective.

NEW YORK LAWMAKER INTRODUCES BILL THAT WOULD ALLOW STATE AGENCIES TO ACCEPT CRYPTO PAYMENTS

A new bill working its way through New York’s legislature would allow residents to pay state agencies with crypto.

New York State Assemblyman Clyde Vanel (D-Queens) introduced Assembly Bill A7788 on Thursday, and the potential legislation was referred to the Standing Committee on Governmental Operations.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

If passed, the bill would enable all state agencies to enter into agreements with individuals to receive crypto payments for fines, civil penalties, rent, rates, taxes, fees, charges, revenue and/or financial obligations.

Other states have also taken similar steps. In 2022, Colorado became the first state to accept crypto for tax payments, and last September, Louisiana enabled its residents to pay for state services with digital assets. Similar bills have also bubbled up in California and Florida.

Vanel introduced similar bills in 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023. The lawmaker, who has a long history of supporting crypto-related legislation, also recently introduced Assembly Bill 7716, which would direct the New York State Board of Elections to study and evaluate the use of blockchain technology to protect voter records and election results.

If passed, the bill would require the State Board of Elections to submit a report about blockchain technology to the governor and the legislature within a year of the legislation taking effect.

WHAT HAPPENS IF BRICS DITCHES THE US DOLLAR?

The US dollar is the most important currency in the markets that controls and dominates the world’s financial sector. Almost all cross-border transactions, trade settlements, and foreign exchange conversions are conducted using the USD. Local currencies are far behind with little to no chance of becoming the global reserve currency.

This gives the White House the power to weaponize the currency and control the world’s trade and finances. BRICS has decided to put an end to the US dollar domination by giving local currencies a chance to compete against the greenback.

Here’s What Will Happen If BRICS Ends US Dollar Reliance

The BRICS alliance is scheming to replace the US dollar with either a new currency or their local currencies. The bloc is divided in the prospects but is united to achieve the goal by hook or crook. They also confirmed that despite slow progress, the alliance’s long-term goal is to bring the US dollar down.

America imports the USD to other countries and using it for transactions leads to surplus. However, ending reliance on the greenback will lead to a deficit allowing the economy to face a crisis.

Top 3 US sectors that could decline if BRICS ditches the dollar for trade:

1. Banking and Finance
2. Technology and Fintech
3. International Trade and Investment

These three sectors will be the hardest hit and lose control if BRICS officially ditches the US dollar for trade. All three sectors are closely linked to the American economy and the financial markets as we know it will fall apart.

Turbulence in the banking and investment sector will spill over to other markets eventually bringing the US economy down. It could lead to hyperinflation in the homeland making the costs of daily essentials skyrocket. Consumer spending could decline and eat into revenues of American corporations eventually leading to job losses.

SEC CRYPTO ROUNDTABLE EXPLORES UNIFIED LICENSING AND REGULATORY CLARITY

The second roundtable hosted by the SEC’s Crypto Task Force was held in Washington, with the purpose of addressing how the existing regulatory framework can better facilitate crypto asset trading in the United States.

Mark Uyeda opens the event

Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda presided over the session, joined by Commissioners Hester Peirce and Caroline Crenshaw. The conference was called “Between a Block and a Hard Place” and brought together the most important players from both the traditional and crypto finance world to achieve practical solutions for making blockchain technology a part of the current markets.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Nicholas Losurdo serves as moderator

The panel members were representative of a broad spectrum of institutions. Nicholas Losurdo, a partner at Goodwin Procter LLP, was the roundtable moderator. Gregory Tusar, Coinbase’s Vice President of Institutional Product, provided perspective from one of the largest US crypto exchanges.

Tyler Gellasch emphasizes crypto broker registration

Tyler Gellasch, President and CEO of Healthy Markets Association, made a strong point about crypto brokers registering with regulators so that there is transparency and improved oversight of the markets. He also made the point that brokers should know whom they are dealing with, instead of just encrypted information.

Jon Herrick, New York Stock Exchange Chief Product Officer, discussed the effect of ETF approvals, indicating that they have simplified investor entry into digital assets through known and regulated pathways. He further noted that ETFs potentially enable traditional financial institutions to utilize digital assets in new ways, most notably as collateral.

Dave Lauer supports transparency and fair markets

Richard Johnson, founder and CEO of Texture Capital, and Dave Lauer, co-founder of Urvin Finance and We the Investors, both commented on how markets might evolve to facilitate tokenized assets.

Katherine Minarik gives a DeFi legal view

Chief Legal Officer of Uniswap Labs Katherine Minarik represented the DeFi industry and the ways decentralized platforms are structured differently than traditional exchanges. Christine Parlour, Finance and Accounting Chair at UC Berkeley, offered academic perspectives on structural changes required to enable regulation to be more effective.

Chelsea Pizzola, Associate General Counsel at Cumberland DRW, and Austin Reid, FalconX Global Head of Revenue and Business, added their legal and institutional trading industry perspectives in the crypto sector.

Hester Peirce reflects on learnings from the first roundtable

Hester Peirce, a Commissioner of the SEC, said that she found the initial roundtable useful in informing her opinion on when crypto assets would be subject to securities laws. She hoped this roundtable would be as fruitful, pointing to the diversity of participants—from national securities exchanges and alternative trading systems to crypto-native companies.

Richard Gabbert, the head of the Crypto Task Force, was supposed to emphasize the importance of investor-centric regulation. The conversation pointed out that existing federal regulations were not written with blockchain and decentralized finance in mind, resulting in mismatches between how crypto markets operate and how they are regulated.

The roundtable also discussed the age-old problem of state-by-state licensing under which crypto exchanges such as Coinbase have to get licensed in all 50 states. Many in the industry are advocating for one SEC license with which they can operate nationwide, which would ease compliance and make operating less cumbersome.

Panelists explained how current rules such as the order protection rule or prohibitions on listing unregistered securities cause issues when attempting to bring tokenized securities into traditional markets.

They also recognized that crypto platforms tend to be different, having custody, clearing, and execution all on the same platform, as opposed to the distinct systems in traditional finance.

In spite of these difficulties, there was a general optimism about the potential of blockchain to transform the way markets operate. From 24/7 trading through smart contracts to enhancing collateral management and settlement of transactions, the roundtable demonstrated that most industry leaders view blockchain as a means to make financial systems more efficient.

The SEC is weighing whether to grant temporary exemptions to spur innovation while longer term rules are being formulated.

In total, the roundtable emphasized that regulators and market participants must work together to develop a framework that benefits both innovation and investor protection.

CRYPTO EXCHANGES LIKE COINBASE MAY SOON GET A REGULATORY SANDBOX TO PLAY IN

SEC leadership floated the possibility Friday of regulatory exemptions that would allow crypto exchanges to experiment with the trading of tokenized securities.

The SEC’s leadership suggested Friday it would be open to establishing a so-called regulatory sandbox for digital assets that would allow crypto exchanges to freely experiment in novel sectors—including, potentially, offering the trade of tokenized securities.

Tokenized securities are versions of traditional securities offerings, like stocks and bonds, that are issued as fungible assets on blockchain networks.

In remarks preceding the agency’s second-ever digital assets roundtable on Friday—this one focused on crypto trading—Republican commissioners floated the idea of issuing exemptions that would soon allow crypto exchanges like Coinbase to dabble in offering tokenized securities alongside crypto products.

“I encourage market participants that are developing new ways to trade securities using blockchain technology to provide input on where exemptive relief may be appropriate,” Acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda said in a pre-recorded video statement.

Uyeda specified that a “time-limited, conditional exemptive relief framework” could offer unregistered crypto exchanges the freedom to innovate in areas like tokenized securities before rules and laws are written on the subject.

Commissioner Hester Peirce, who leads the agency’s new crypto task force, echoed that sentiment in live remarks at the SEC’s Washington headquarters Friday—endorsing the potential value of an exemptive relief framework for crypto exchanges.

“Participating firms could see what works and what doesn’t, technically and commercially,” she said. “Such trials could inform the Commission’s rulemaking efforts.”

Last year, Peirce endorsed the concept of a “digital securities sandbox” that would have allowed American crypto firms to join British ones in experimenting with “the issuance, trading, and settlement of securities.” Given that crypto-skeptical SEC chair Gary Gensler controlled the Commission at the time, the idea did not get far.

CHINA IMPOSES NEW TARIFFS, BLAMES US FOR GLOBAL TENSIONS

China has responded sharply to U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest tariff hike, calling the United States a “joke” and imposing retaliatory tariffs of its own, as European Union leaders prepare an unusual visit to Beijing amid growing global trade tensions.

Xi Criticizes Trade Isolation

China responded forcefully on Friday to a dramatic tariff increase by the United States, announcing a 125% tariff on American goods and calling the U.S. approach to trade “economic bullying,” the Times of India reports. The move came just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump raised duties on Chinese imports to 145%, a decision that Beijing said violated international trade rules.

CHINA IMPOSES NEW TARIFFS, BLAMES US FOR GLOBAL TENSIONS

China has responded sharply to U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest tariff hike, calling the United States a “joke” and imposing retaliatory tariffs of its own, as European Union leaders prepare an unusual visit to Beijing amid growing global trade tensions.

Xi Criticizes Trade Isolation

China responded forcefully on Friday to a dramatic tariff increase by the United States, announcing a 125% tariff on American goods and calling the U.S. approach to trade “economic bullying,” the Times of India reports. The move came just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump raised duties on Chinese imports to 145%, a decision that Beijing said violated international trade rules.

In a statement, China’s commerce ministry accused Washington of turning the tariff dispute into a “numbers game,” stating that such actions lacked economic rationale and only served to undermine U.S. credibility. “The successive imposition of excessively high tariffs on China by the U.S. has become nothing more than a numbers game,” a ministry spokesperson said. “It merely further exposes the U.S. practice of weaponizing tariffs… turning itself into a joke.”

China Imposes New Tariffs, Blames US for Global Tensions

The Times of India report explains that the new tariffs will take effect on Saturday, according to China’s State Council Tariff Commission. The Chinese government emphasized that the action was defensive in nature and framed it as a necessary response to what it called “completely unilateral” moves by the U.S.

On Truth Social, Trump proclaimed, “We are doing really well on our TARIFF POLICY. Very exciting for America, and the World!!! It is moving along quickly.” During the interval when he temporarily halted certain global tariffs, he added that China remained in the crosshairs “based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets.”

The Times of India further noted that President Xi Jinping also weighed in, saying China is not intimidated by external pressure. Speaking with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Xi declared, “There are no winners in a trade war, and going against the world will only lead to self-isolation.”

European Union Officials Reportedly Set to Visit Xi in July, Yuan Weakens

As the standoff escalates, Bloomberg and the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that top European Union officials are reportedly preparing a rare mid-year visit to Beijing for talks with Xi.

Citing five unnamed sources, the SCMP disclosed that the visit could take place in late July, breaking with tradition that typically sees the Chinese delegation travel to Europe.

The move signals the EU’s interest in aligning more closely with China on trade, especially as it faces potential fallout from the U.S.’s aggressive tariff strategy. Xi has urged European partners to unite in resisting what he called “unilateral bullying.”

Meanwhile, China filed two complaints with the World Trade Organization (WTO) to challenge the legality of the U.S. tariffs, while Xi prepares for diplomatic visits to Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia in a bid to strengthen regional alliances amid mounting tensions.

As of April 11, 2025, the Chinese yuan (CNY) has exhibited a modest recovery in its valuation against the U.S. dollar. Just two days prior, on Wednesday, April 9, the yuan slipped to depths not seen in over 17 years, settling at 7.3498 per dollar—its weakest close since Dec. 2007.

In parallel, the DYX Dollar Index on Friday registered a three-year low against a composite of major fiat currencies, touching 99.314 in the early trading session.

XRP SET TO EXPLODE? RIPPLE AND SEC FILE JOINT REQUEST

XRP shot up almost 3% in the past 24 hours after Ripple and the SEC submitted a joint filing for a 60-day pause to their appeals and cross-appeals.

▪️Ripple and SEC pause legal battle, signaling a near-final settlement that could reshape crypto regulation.

▪️XRP trades near critical resistance at $2.10, with RSI and Bollinger Bands hinting at an imminent breakout.

▪️The SEC withdrew its appeal in March against Ripple Labs, sparking settlement rumors.

American fintech firm Ripple and its cryptocurrency XRP are once again the center of attention in both legal and market circles amid a notable development in the legal battle against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

At press time, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2.02, up 2.83% on the day, with technical indicators hinting at a potential trend reversal, as per CoinMarketCap data.

Legal Clarity in Sight: A 60-Day Pause Toward Settlement

Ripple and the SEC have jointly filed a motion to place their respective appeals and cross-appeals in a 60-day temporary suspension, suggesting both parties are edging closer to a settlement.

According to the filing, the pause will give them time to finalize an agreement-in-principle that could resolve the lawsuit completely, pending approval from the SEC.

This marks a crucial development in the landmark case that began in late 2020, when the SEC accused Ripple of conducting unregistered securities sales via XRP.

The case has held major implications for how cryptocurrencies are regulated in the United States.

A changing political climate, sparked by the election of President Trump, appears to have softened the SEC’s stance on crypto overall.

In recent months, the regulator has dropped lawsuits against other major crypto firms such as Coinbase and Kraken.

Last month, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed that the SEC had already withdrawn its appeal against the ruling that said the firm’s programmatic XRP sales didn’t violate securities laws.

Ripple, in turn, has decided not to pursue its cross-appeal.

With both sides easing up and aiming to conserve resources, the groundwork is laid for a negotiated conclusion to one of crypto’s most closely watched legal sagas.

XRP Price Analysis

From a technical standpoint, XRP is currently navigating a critical juncture. The daily chart reveals that the price is hovering just below the 20-day EMA at $2.10, a key resistance level.

A clean break above this could catalyze further upside momentum.

The Bollinger Bands are tightening, with the upper band at $2.50 and the lower band at $1.77, indicating a period of volatility compression.

This often precedes a breakout, though the direction remains uncertain. A move above $2.10 with strong volume could see XRP test the upper band around $2.50, while a rejection could drag it back toward the lower band near $1.77.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 44.61, with its moving average at 39.76, still in neutral territory but edging upward.

This suggests that momentum is gradually building after a prolonged cooldown phase. If RSI crosses above 50, it could signal a bullish shift in sentiment.

TRUMP MAKES HISTORY SIGNING FIRST CRYPTO BILL INTO LAW - THE LAW REPEALS THE IRS’S CONTROVERSIAL 'DEFI BROKER RULE'

In a historic move, President Trump has signed into law a bill that blocks the Internal Revenue Service from collecting tax reporting data from decentralized crypto platforms.

It marks the first time a cryptocurrency-specific piece of legislation has become law in the United States.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

The bill, introduced under the Congressional Review Act by Republican Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) to repeal the IRS’s so-called “DeFi broker rule,” passed the Senate on March 26 with overwhelming bipartisan support in a 70–28 vote. A similar version, led in the House by Congressman Mike Carey (R-OH), had passed with a comparable ‘supermajority’ just two weeks earlier.

The controversial DeFi broker rule, introduced in the final days of the Biden administration, would have required decentralized crypto entities, such as exchanges without a central governing body, to comply with traditional IRS reporting requirements.

Critics argued that the mandate was overly burdensome, risked stifling innovation, and could significantly hinder growth in the DeFi sector.

“This rule would have undermined American leadership on cryptocurrency and I am grateful to President Trump for signing my resolution into law,” Cruz, who attended the signing ceremony Thursday afternoon, told Crypto In America. “The resolution is a victory for innovation, privacy, and economic freedom.”

“We are protecting the developers who are building the future of cryptocurrency, making clear that the United States will not cede digital leadership to China, and preserving the ability of Americans to conduct transactions without government interference,” Cruz added.

The move is being hailed as a victory by industry leaders who are looking to the crypto-friendly Trump administration to safeguard the rights of builders and software developers, who felt they were unfairly targeted by the regulation-heavy Biden administration.

“This bipartisan action underscores our nation's commitment to fostering innovation and ensuring that Americans retain the freedom to choose how they transact, said Amanda Tuminelli, CEO of the DeFi Education Fund, an advocacy group focused on decentralized finance. “President Trump’s signature is a critical signal change for the crypto industry: the United States has embraced a sensible, forward-thinking approach to digital assets.”

The bill signing marks the second major win for DeFi proponents this week, following a Monday memo from the Deputy Attorney General clarifying that the DOJ will no longer pursue software developers for actions taken by third-party users on their platforms.

SEC DROPS SUIT AGAINST HELIUM FOR ALLEGED SECURITIES VIOLATIONS

The agency's lawsuit against Helium was its final action under former Chair Gary Gensler, aiming to penalize a crypto firm for a token launch.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dismissed a lawsuit against Nova Labs, developer of decentralized wireless network Helium, for allegedly issuing unregistered securities, Helium stated in an April 10 blog post.

Filed in January 2025, the lawsuit was among the SEC’s final enforcement actions against a cryptocurrency developer under former Chair Gary Gensler, who stepped down from his post on Jan. 20 after US President Donald Trump took office.

The dismissal with prejudice means the blockchain developer cannot be charged with similar violations again for issuing in 2019 its native token Helium, the company said.

“[W]e can now definitively say that all compatible Helium Hotspots and the distribution of HNT, IOT, and MOBILE tokens through the Helium Network are not securities,” Helium said.

“[T]he outcome establishes that selling hardware and distributing tokens for network growth does not automatically make them securities in the eyes of the SEC [and] that the SEC cannot bring these charges against Helium again,” it added.

The SEC’s Helium reversal came the same day Trump-nominee Paul Atkins formally replaced Gensler as SEC Chair after a lengthy confirmation process in the Senate.

Helium is a blockchain network designed to let “anyone build and own massive wireless networks,” according to its website. The protocol reports having roughly 375,000 active hotspots.

According to CoinGecko, HNT has a market capitalization of approximately $480 million as of April 10 — down from highs of more than $5 billion in November 2021.

Changing policy stance

Under Gensler, the SEC brought upward of 100 charges against Web3 developers for various alleged securities violations.

Since Trump took office, the SEC has sharply reversed course, dropping numerous charges against crypto firms, including Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple and Uniswap.

Trump has positioned himself as a pro-crypto President, promising to make America the “world’s crypto capital,” appointing industry-friendly leaders to key regulatory posts, and ordering the federal government to create a national Bitcoin reserve.

For some crypto executives, Trump's policies — such as announcing sweeping tariffs on US imports in April — threaten to stymie crypto’s progress.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

NEW HAMPSHIRE HOUSE PASSES STATE BITCOIN RESERVE BILL

The “Live Free or Die” state is one step closer to embracing Bitcoin after the House of Representatives passed a reserve bill.

A bill proposing the creation of a state Bitcoin reserve was passed by the New Hampshire House of Representatives on Thursday.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

The House’s vote on New Hampshire Bill HB302, which if passed would allow the state’s treasury to invest in precious metals and digital assets, held a difference of just 13 votes, with 192 representatives voting for the bill and 179 voting against.

The bill will now move on to the New Hampshire Senate.

“We’re tied to the U.S. dollar, whether we like it or not, but this would allow us to have the state invest a small portion into this uncorrelated, new asset class,” New Hampshire Representative and bill proposer Keith Ammon previously told Decrypt.

Proposed in January, the bill would allow the state’s treasury to allocate up to 5% of the state’s public funds to eligible assets, based on text from the House’s amended bill. The initial proposal suggested an allocation of up to 10% of the state’s public funds.

Those funds can be used on precious metals like silver or gold, or…"any digital assets with a market capitalization of over $500 billion averaged over the previous calendar year.” Only Bitcoin meets that requirement, as of this writing.

New Hampshire’s treasury carried around $3.6 billion in funds as of its most recent annual report, meaning the state could buy up to approximately $181 million worth of precious metals or Bitcoin.

If spent only on crypto’s top asset, at today’s price of $79,755, that would give the Granite State a reserve of around 2,269 BTC. Bitcoin is down about 3.5% on the day, per data from CoinGecko.

The bill indicates that digital assets held by the state must be held by a qualified custodian, by the treasurer with a secure custody solution, or via an exchange traded product from a registered investment company.

New Hampshire is one of many states considering Bitcoin reserve bills, some of which have thus far failed to push them through their respective Houses—like in Pennsylvania and Wyoming.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for the United States on March 6.

NORTH CAROLINA LAWMAKER INTRODUCES DIGITAL ASSET FREEDOM ACT

North Carolina joins the growing list of US states attempting to pass comprehensive digital asset bills as a hedge against inflation.

North Carolina (NC) representative Neal Jackson introduced the North Carolina Digital Asset Freedom Act on April 10. The bill proposes that qualifying "digital assets" be accepted as a legally recognized form of payment and for taxes.

Although the language of the bill does not specifically mention Bitcoin, there are several provisions laid out that make BTC uniquely qualified under the bill's definition of a "digital asset."

These stipulations include a minimum market capitalization of $750 billion and a daily trading volume of over $10 billion, a market history of 10 years or more, proven censorship resistance, proof-of-work consensus, lack of a central authority, 99.98% or more network uptime, and a maximum supply cap. The bill read:

"The General Assembly further finds that decentralized digital assets, which are not governed by any central entity or foundation, align with the economic principles of limited, noninflationary money and are capable of ensuring the security and integrity of transactions."

Jackson's bill is merely the latest in state-led Bitcoin strategic reserve legislation in the United States amid inflation concerns, high US federal debt and a depreciating currency.

North Carolina takes a firm stance against CBDCs

Former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper vetoed a bill banning a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in July 2024. At the time, Cooper characterized the bill as "premature, vague, and reactionary" to threats that have not yet materialized.

In August 2024, the North Carolina House of Representatives overrode Cooper's veto in a definitive and bipartisan 73-41 vote.

The North Carolina Senate followed suit by overriding Cooper's veto in a 27-17 vote and passed the anti-CBDC legislation into law in September 2024.

Dan Spuller, the head of industry affairs at crypto advocacy organization the Blockchain Association, applauded the action taken by NC lawmakers to push back against the tide of CBDCs.

"This bill should have never been vetoed, and Governor Cooper blew an opportunity to send a strong message to the Federal Reserve that NC stands united against CBDCs," Spuller wrote in a Sept. 9 X post.

BRICS: US DOLLAR IS NOW AN UNRELIABLE CURRENCY, SAY ANALYSTS

BRICS is doing everything to puncture the prospects of the US dollar as the White House is accused of weaponizing the currency. The bloc kick-started the de-dollarization agenda and is now convincing emerging economies to trade in local currencies. The alliance has been successful as many developing countries signed trade deals settling cross-border transactions in native currencies.

If the White House fails to import the dollar, the U.S. could enter a new era of hyperinflation. The US dollar needs to maintain its dominant position in the currency markets to make other countries absorb its deficit.

BRICS: The US Dollar Losing Its Reliability, Say BMO Analysts

Commodity analysts at BMO Capital Markets wrote that the US dollar is losing its sheen and BRICS is leveraging the development. The notion to push local currencies ahead for trade and transactions is easier now than ever before. “The US dollar is no longer seen as a reliable reserve asset,” wrote the analysts.

The note added, “Looking at the broader picture, the combination of deficit spending, tariffs, and pressures on smaller nations has fueled market uncertainty. Increased uncertainty typically leads to lower interest rates for Treasuries but also causes turbulence in equity markets,” he said.

The recent stock market crash is also a cause of worry as investors lose trust in the trade sector. The note added that BRICS could also put gold forward and diversify their reserves more without the US dollar.

“Recently, we’ve seen heightened volatility and a meaningful decline in equities from their highs earlier this year. This underscores a fundamental question: What can people truly trust? The answer remains a physical metal, gold, which has preserved its value for thousands of years and has never been debased, unlike every currency in history.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP USHERING IN CRYPTO ‘GOLDEN AGE,’ WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL SAYS

The return of US President Donald Trump has come with some concern, but according to one White House official, his administration is set to usher in a new crypto ‘golden age.’ Indeed, Trump’s executive director of digital assets, Bo Hines, recently discussed the impact that his presence will have on cryptocurrency development in the country.

In a post to X (formerly Twitter), Hines called Trump the “true crypto President.” He noted that his stance on the emerging asset class will propel growth. Moreover, he said this effort will help crypto companies that “were victims of a weaponized justice system under the Biden regulatory regime.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP USHERING IN CRYPTO ‘GOLDEN AGE,’ WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL SAYS

The return of US President Donald Trump has come with some concern, but according to one White House official, his administration is set to usher in a new crypto ‘golden age.’ Indeed, Trump’s executive director of digital assets, Bo Hines, recently discussed the impact that his presence will have on cryptocurrency development in the country.

In a post to X (formerly Twitter), Hines called Trump the “true crypto President.” He noted that his stance on the emerging asset class will propel growth. Moreover, he said this effort will help crypto companies that “were victims of a weaponized justice system under the Biden regulatory regime.”

White House Official Says Trump Administration Will Bring New Golden Age for Crypto in US

It has certainly been a volatile start to US President Donald Trump’s second term thus far. Just three months into the year, the returning administration has sought to balance trade with the presence of new Liberation Day tariffs. Subsequently, the move greatly affected the US stock market, with a monumental crash and recession fears abounding the economic outlook.

However, the administration is still hopeful that the short-term struggle will benefit the country in the long term. Moreover, it is optimistic about one key industry that could surge over the next four years. Indeed, US President Trump is poised to usher in a crypto ‘golden age,’ according to White House official Bo Hines.

Speaking to Fox News, the top cryptocurrency policy official for the administration discussed the industry’s potential. “The president has made this a priority, and it is a testament to his leadership and his knowledge of the space,” Hines said.

“Unlike any president before him, he has truly embraced this technological development in a way that no one else has, which has allowed us to do what we need to do to make the United States the crypto capital of the world,” he added.

Hines also notes that the administration is “clearing the deck” of Biden-era policies. Indeed, the previous president had a well-established opposition to the industry. Yet, things have already changed drastically in the early months of Trump’s return. Things should continue, with Standard Chartered saying Bitcoin has $500,000 upside under Trump.

ELIZABETH WARREN ACCUSES TRUMP OF MARKET MANIPULATION OVER TARIFF CHAOS

Senator Warren accuses Trump of market manipulation through erratic tariff decisions, alleging insider profit.

Trump's unpredictable tariffs, including a sudden hike on Chinese goods and a temporary pause, are causing market instability and economic uncertainty.

Congress is facing pressure to investigate Warren's claims and address the economic impact of Trump's tariff policies.

President Donald Trump’s 90-day tariff pause gave crypto markets a brief moment to breathe—but the calm didn’t last long. Behind the scenes, political tensions are heating up fast. U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren is now going after Trump with serious accusations, claiming his unpredictable tariff moves may have been more than just bad policy. She says they might have been a calculated play to benefit his wealthy allies.

Could these sudden shifts in trade policy be more than meets the eye? The story gets deeper—and more explosive—the further you look.

Is Trump Playing the Market?

Warren is urging an independent investigation to find out whether Trump’s sudden tariff changes were meant to benefit his wealthy Wall Street allies. She argues that his actions go beyond bad economic planning and could point to deeper issues. Calling the pattern “corruption,” Warren claims that insiders close to Trump may have made profits by taking advantage of market chaos.

One of Warren’s main concerns is the sharp increase in tariffs on Chinese goods—from 105% to 125%—which caught markets off guard. Around the same time, Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for other countries. This brief relief calmed the markets temporarily, but Warren believes the timing may have been deliberate—giving insiders a chance to “buy the dip” before prices bounced back.

Economic Warning Signs Are Flashing

Warren didn’t stop there. She blamed Trump’s constant changes in trade policy for hurting the U.S. economy, saying the “flip-flopping” has shaken investor confidence. With factory output slowing and job openings (JOLTS data) showing weakness, fears of a possible recession and rising inflation are growing.

From the Senate floor, Warren called on Congress—especially Republicans—to take action and put an end to what she calls “Trump’s tariff chaos.” She warned that this unpredictable approach to trade could cause even more damage to the economy if left unchecked.

More Lawmakers Join In

Representative Steven Horsford also criticized Trump’s sudden tariff reversal, saying it might be an example of market manipulation. He questioned who benefited from the move, hinting that billionaires may have taken advantage of the situation. His comments reflect growing concern in Congress that Trump’s trade policies are helping a select few while creating volatility.

Other lawmakers have also raised red flags, worried that Trump’s unpredictable trade strategy could harm the U.S. economy in the long run.

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton also voiced his disapproval. He said Trump’s tariff approach is flawed, and instead of working with allies to hold China accountable for intellectual property theft, Trump has picked fights with major trading partners.

As political and economic tensions rise, attention is now on Congress. Will lawmakers launch a formal investigation into Warren’s claims of market manipulation? For now, the pressure is building—and the markets are watching closely.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

JUST IN: SENATE CONFIRMS PAUL ATKINS AS SEC CHAIR, NEW ERA FOR CRYPTO?

In a 52-44 vote, the U.S. Senate has confirmed Paul Atkins as the next Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The confirmation now heads to the White House, where President Donald Trump is expected to formally sign off on the appointment. Once that process is complete, Atkins will be officially sworn in. According Fox Business’ Eleanor Terrett, the timing for these next steps remains unclear.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Who Is Paul Atkins?

Paul Atkins is a seasoned financial regulator and former SEC commissioner who served under President George W. Bush. Known for his market-oriented approach, Atkins is respected across party lines and has also held senior roles under Democratic leadership, including under former SEC Chair Arthur Levitt. His nomination hints at a significant shift in regulatory direction under the Trump administration.

Atkins will replace outgoing Chair Gary Gensler, whose tenure was marked by a high-profile and often controversial crackdown on the crypto industry. Gensler faced both praise and criticism for an aggressive enforcement-first approach, especially in applying securities laws to digital assets.

A Turning Point for Crypto Policy?

Under the Biden administration, critics argued that the SEC’s enforcement-heavy stance stifled innovation and failed to offer a clear regulatory path forward. With Atkins at the helm, expectations are high that the SEC may pivot toward a more constructive, guidance-driven regulatory environment.

While details about Atkins’ policy plans remain to be seen, early signals suggest a shift toward fostering innovation while still enforcing accountability. Many in the industry are hopeful that the incoming SEC leadership will work toward creating a consistent, federally backed framework that balances growth and oversight.

TREASURY EYES REGULATORY RESET TO IGNITE BLOCKCHAIN AND PAYMENTS

Regulatory roadblocks are crumbling as the U.S. Treasury signals a sweeping pivot toward blockchain, stablecoins, and digital assets, igniting America’s fintech dominance worldwide.

Regulatory Barriers on the Brink as Treasury Sparks Blockchain Shift

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent laid out a broad financial reform agenda at the Bankers Association Summit on April 9, pledging to remove regulatory barriers that he said have slowed innovation in blockchain, stablecoins, and modern payment technologies. His address emphasized aligning financial oversight with national interests while refocusing on economic growth. Bessent stated:

We will take a close look at regulatory impediments to blockchain, stablecoins, and new payment systems. And we will consider reforms to unleash awesome power of the American capital market.

“Americans deserve a financial services industry that works for all Americans, including and especially Main Street. Under President Trump’s leadership the Treasury Department and I will deliver that to you,” Bessent added.

Bessent criticized current regulatory approaches as outdated and skewed toward global frameworks, particularly the Basel Committee’s capital standards, which he claimed are “not in my opinion the right starting point for a modernization effort.”

He called for a U.S.-first model built from “the ground up,” emphasizing that decisions impacting domestic financial innovation should not be shaped by international bodies lacking transparency.

His remarks suggested that this shift could help level the playing field between banks and nonbank financial innovators, a move that would give rise to broader adoption of technologies like digital assets and tokenized payment networks.

In line with that vision, Bessent confirmed that the Treasury would also review capital rules that currently disincentivize investment in innovation. He further pledged to modernize anti-money laundering and compliance rules to allow financial institutions to focus on “national security priorities and high-risk areas,” giving them leeway to deprioritize lower-risk activities.

While pushing for reform, Bessent framed the administration’s approach as supportive of small-town lenders and consumers:

Americans deserve a financial services industry that works for all Americans.

His remarks position the Treasury to potentially spearhead new regulatory frameworks aimed at fostering both financial safety and cutting-edge innovation.

President Donald Trump has strengthened his pro-cryptocurrency position by ordering the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, using roughly 200,000 BTC seized in legal cases to support national economic interests.

At the same time, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) disbanded its National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team, indicating a shift from enforcement to industry support. The moves reflect the administration’s aim to make the U.S. a global crypto leader.

CHINA MOVES TO WIN TRADE WAR AS TRUMP ESCALATES, EXPERT WARNS

▪️China is throwing down the economic gauntlet as Trump’s 104% tariffs take effect, signaling a long-game trade war strategy fueled by yuan devaluation and relentless countermeasures.

▪️Trump Escalates, but China’s Playing for the Win—Expert Sees Warpath Ahead

Good evening Dinar Recaps,

China is sharpening its stance in the economic clash with the United States, issuing what financial leader Nigel Green has characterized as a deliberate and forceful message. On April 8, the CEO and founder of international financial advisory firm Devere Group warned that recent policy signals from Beijing point to a government readying itself for a long-term trade war.

Central to that message is China’s move to let the yuan depreciate, which Green described as a calculated maneuver. He stressed:

The weakening yuan is not simply market mechanics at work; it is Beijing putting Washington on notice that far more forceful actions are in reserve if escalation continues.

Facing heightened U.S.-China trade tensions, Beijing allowed the yuan’s reference rate to cross the symbolic 7.20 mark per dollar for the first time since September 2023, signaling a shift in foreign exchange policy.

The People’s Bank of China set the fixing at 7.2038 on April 8, leading to the onshore yuan’s decline, despite improving investor sentiment. Analysts interpret this as a move toward managed depreciation to support exports amid economic strain, though sharp devaluation remains risky due to capital flight and trade negotiation setbacks.

President Donald Trump escalated pressure with threats of 50% tariffs, prompting China to vow retaliation and impose rare earth controls.

According to the White House press secretary, an additional 104% in tariffs took effect at noon Eastern time on April 8 due to China’s failure to lift its retaliatory measures.

Green dismissed the idea that Beijing would fold under mounting pressure from Trump’s administration. Instead, he emphasized the Chinese government’s strategy of resilience and counter-planning.

“This is now a battle of endurance. Trump is ratcheting up the pressure, believing he can force concessions through intimidation.” He contrasted this with Beijing’s approach:

Beijing, however, is determined to show that it will not be cowed. Rather than rolling over, China is fortifying itself — insulating key industries, diversifying its supply chains, and preparing policy weapons for a prolonged standoff.

Behind the scenes, both governments are proceeding cautiously, but Green observed increasing confidence from China. He said the timing and nature of the yuan’s decline reflect Beijing’s serious stance, describing it as a calculated move rather than a short-term devaluation.

Green characterized it as a clear signal to the White House that further escalation will carry consequences. He added that the financial sector is already adapting, with China signaling its readiness to use significant economic tools if tensions continue.

“Trump’s White House should not mistake restraint for weakness. Beijing is showing strategic patience, but there’s real steel underneath. If Washington continues to escalate, China’s response will not be meek — it will be methodical, far-reaching, and designed to maximize impact where it hurts the most,” Green opined.

He added that global markets are entering a phase where tactical actions, such as a weakening yuan, are not solely financial signals but part of broader geopolitical strategy.

The Devere executive advised investors to prepare for a long-term shift, emphasizing that China is planning for sustained change. He said structural changes in global trade could define the next decade. Green concluded with a stark forecast:

Beijing is setting the terms of engagement. Washington can choose to escalate, but it will not do so without facing increasingly sophisticated countermeasures. China is no longer trying to avoid a trade war at all costs — it is preparing to win one if forced into it

CHINA AND RUSSIA BEGIN SETTLING TRADE TRANSACTIONS USING BITCOIN

According to a VanEck report, China and Russia have begun settling some trade transactions using Bitcoin. VanEck’s Head of Digital Assets Research, Matthew Sigel, reports that the two BRICS nations have already begun settling some energy transactions in Bitcoin and other digital assets. This comes as the Trump administration’s tariff policy has reignited global trade tensions.

China and Russia have already worked on trade deals with one another without the US dollar. Now however, with economic concerns spreading worldwide, the two countries have attempted to ditch fiat altogether.

Sigel also shared that Bolivia has announced plans to import electricity using crypto. French energy utility EDF is also exploring whether it can mine Bitcoin with surplus electricity currently exported to Germany.

“These are early signs that Bitcoin is evolving from a speculative asset into a functional monetary tool—particularly in economies looking to bypass the dollar and reduce exposure to U.S.-led financial systems,” Sigel said.

Investing experts are looking to assets like cryptocurrency and precious metals in a time of economic instability. In recent months, the US dollar has fallen approximately 6.1% since the month of January.

Foreign holdings of US assets had previously reached around $62 trillion in 2024, but these flows are now actively reversing as investors look for and seek out alternatives in various markets. Thus, Gold and cryptocurrencies could become a worthy replacement for trade.

Another VanEck analyst, Imaru Casanova, feels that Gold could ultimately be a top asset in an economic recession. “Gold and gold stocks should ultimately benefit from the heightened level of risk across the global economy and global financial system,” she says.

“The unpredictability of economic policies and heightened market volatility should boost gold’s appeal as the preferred safe-haven asset during times of global uncertainty.”

With one half of the new deal in Bitcoin, Russia, did not get tariffs imposed on it by the US, the other half, China, did. As a result, the latter has ordered all state-run banks in the country to reduce purchasing the US dollar in its reserves.
