Good afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Seeds of Wisdom RV Announcement and Info

The steps to the Global Currency Reset (GCR) funding process have been widely speculated upon, but based on the structured flow reported by insiders and experts, it generally follows this order:

1. Historic Bonds Redemption (Sovereign-Level)
German Bonds (and other historic bonds like Chinese Dragon Bonds, Super Petchilis, Railroad Bonds, etc.)
These were issued long ago and have been held by sovereign groups, large institutions, and select individuals.
Bondholders go through a vetting and redemption process, where bonds are verified and then paid out.
Payments may be staggered in tranches over time.

2. Other Bonds & Private Placements
Zim Bonds (Zimbabwe Bonds) – Considered high-yield and separate from currency exchanges.
Other sovereign bonds (Venezuelan, Peruvian, etc.) follow similar redemption protocols.
Private placements & tiered settlements involve structured payouts to high-net-worth individuals and institutions.

3. Digital & Crypto Assets Integration
Some theories suggest asset-backed crypto may play a role in new financial systems.
Quantum Financial System (QFS) may transition assets into a blockchain-secured environment.
There could be a shift from fiat-based digital assets to gold or commodity-backed digital currencies.

4. Currency Exchange & Revaluation (RV)
Currencies like the Iraqi Dinar (IQD), Vietnamese Dong (VND), Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), Zimbabwean Dollar (ZWL), and others are expected to undergo revaluation.
Exchange centers, banks, or designated locations will facilitate conversions.

Tiers (1-5) dictate when different groups receive access to funds.
Tier 1: Sovereigns & elite institutions.
Tier 2: Governments & select large groups.
Tier 3: Humanitarian & pre-approved projects.
Tier 4: Public holders with pre-arranged agreements (Tier 4B includes internet groups).
Tier 5: General public after revaluation is public.

5. Wealth Management & Project Disbursement
Funds are distributed based on agreements, NDAs, and structured payouts.
Humanitarian projects are expected to receive allocations.
Wealth managers, trusts, and legal structures assist in handling funds post-exchange.

Each phase unfolds in a controlled manner, ensuring that funding flows through proper channels before mass liquidity is released to the public.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

FIFA SHOWS INTEREST IN DEVELOPING A FIFA TOKEN, US MARKET IN CONSIDERATION

Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) President Gianni Infantino has suggested the organization may develop its own cryptocurrency token.

Infantino made the remarks while attending President Trump’s White House Crypto Summit on March 7. Standing alongside Trump, Infantino expressed FIFA’s interest in creating a digital token to interact with its global fanbase.

“FIFA is very, very interested to develop a FIFA coin, to do it from here, from America, and to conquer the 5 billion soccer fans in the world,” Infantino stated. “If there is anyone here who is interested to team up with FIFA, here we are, together with the United States of America, and we will conquer the world of soccer with the FIFA coin.”

The announcement, though lacking specific details or timelines, hints at FIFA’s exploration of blockchain technology as a potential avenue for fan engagement and revenue generation. Trump responded positively to Gianni stating: “That coin may be worth more than FIFA in the end. It could be quite a coin, actually.”

FIFA token surges 357,000%

Following the summit, market confusion led to a surge in an unaffiliated cryptocurrency named “FIFA. This coin saw a 357,000% daily price increase, reaching a market capitalization of approximately $8.2 million. However, this token has no connection to FIFA.

The recent summit was one of the primary steps for a major cryptocurrency regulation change under the Trump administration.

Key initiatives announced during the event included the establishment of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This approach would create a government cryptocurrency position without requiring taxpayer funding.

While Infantino’s announcement provided few details, it shows FIFA’s recognition of cryptocurrency’s potential impact on the future of sports business and fan engagement. The announcement comes particularly as the organization prepares for the 2026 World Cup, which the United States, Canada, and Mexico will jointly host.

RIPPLE CEO SEES 'INCREDIBLE' CRYPTO SUPPORT FROM TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

Ripple’s CEO praised the Trump administration’s embrace of crypto, highlighting support for regulatory clarity, crypto reserves, and digital asset innovation backed by U.S. Treasuries.

Ripple’s CEO Applauds Trump Administration’s Embrace of Crypto

Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, reflected on a significant week for the cryptocurrency industry, highlighting key events such as the first-ever White House Crypto Summit and a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) CEO Roundtable. He noted the rapid developments in the space, including policy discussions and regulatory shifts.

“There’s been a lot of talk about what this White House has and will prioritize with their crypto agenda – most importantly, regulatory clarity through Congressional action, as well as a BTC reserve & crypto stockpile, support for stablecoin innovation backed by U.S. Treasuries, and more,” Garlinghouse stated on social media platform X on March 7. He also expressed optimism, emphasizing:

I was extremely pleased to see the incredible support from this administration.

He also acknowledged several key figures for their roles in shaping the week’s discussions. Garlinghouse thanked President Donald Trump for welcoming crypto industry leaders to the White House, contrasting it with what he described as the “hostility of the Biden administration.”

Garlinghouse also expressed gratitude to White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks and Bo Hines, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets at the White House, for organizing the crypto summit, and to CFTC Commissioner Caroline Pham for hosting discussions at the agency. These engagements, he suggested, marked a turning point in the relationship between policymakers and the crypto industry.

The Ripple executive urged the crypto community to focus on broader industry goals rather than engaging in internal conflicts between different cryptocurrencies. He reaffirmed his commitment to advocating for a fair regulatory framework, stating:

We will – as we’ve always done — continue to champion the need for a level playing field (and it was great to hear others in the room echo this as well!) and for the industry to come together to move much needed legislation forward in the U.S.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

THE GROWING AI ROLE IN CRYPTO – REWIRING THE LANDSCAPE

The world is facing a new technological race, with AI development growing into a national priority. The recent launch of the Stargate project in the US is a high proof of that.

While Trump’s presidency is still in its early stages, we can already see the emergence of a trend towards tech-centricity, as he plans to pour $500 billion worth of investments into AI infrastructure.

At the same time, this technological boom is set to reshape another industry – crypto.

AI (artificial intelligence) has already been introduced into crypto in the form of AI agents, trading bots, automated risk analysis and more.

The question isn’t whether AI will change crypto – it’s doing it even now.

The real question is – what does this mean for crypto and blockchain in the long run?

Will AI’s involvement strengthen this space or undermine the decentralized principles the crypto community holds dear?

Here is my take on this.

AI and crypto today – The shift has begun

The way things are now, I’d say that AI’s presence in crypto hasn’t progressed far – it’s still in the ‘infancy’ stage, so to speak.

But this state of things won’t last – progress is happening at a rapid pace.

This industry is moving beyond simple trading bots. Artificial intelligence is now being used to drive market-making strategies and risk assessment.

We are even seeing cases of decentralized venture funding powered by AI.

Projects like Moby AI, Griffain AI and HeyAnonAI are becoming more prolific – and while these are just early iterations of AI-based financial intelligence in crypto, they are already outperforming human traders in speed and efficiency.

As AI models continue to grow in complexity and gain greater autonomy, I believe that soon they will no longer just follow market trends – they will shape them.

What’s next on the horizon

The next few years will redefine what it means to participate in crypto, and AI is going to be at the center of this transformation, bringing changes in all sectors.

Autonomous AI trading agents are already optimizing market strategies in real-time with a level of speed and precision that far exceeds human capabilities.

The more these bots advance, the greater competitive edge investors and traders will get from using them.

In the field of DeFi compliance, AI-powered tools will become essential for maintaining security.

Fraud and illicit transactions are always a point of concern, but AI-driven monitoring systems can analyze activities in blockchain networks and detect suspicious patterns in real time.

This will allow them to flag potential risks before they escalate, making this space safer.

At the same time, AI-integrated DeFi services will help streamline lending and borrowing by removing human intermediaries.

AI models can be leveraged to automatically match borrowers and lenders and adjust interest rates dynamically as market conditions change.

And all of that can be done without the need for human participation.

I can also see on-chain AI agents playing a prominent part in governance.

They can provide real-time market insights, manage portfolios and even contribute to DAO decision-making by enabling more data-driven governance choices.

Beyond financial applications, AI could also solve long-standing blockchain inefficiencies.

For example, one major issue with PoW (proof-of-work) networks is high energy use.

AI can address this by analyzing and predicting network demand, dynamically adjusting energy consumption to reduce waste and optimize performance.

Moreover, AI can facilitate ‘sharding,’ where blockchain data is divided across multiple nodes, allowing parallel processing and faster transaction times.

This can help effectively scale blockchain networks, which is a critical step if cryptocurrencies are to see broader adoption.

While AI today is still only a support tool, incapable of truly making effective decisions in place of humans, it will not always be so.

To my mind, AI has all the chances of evolving into a dominant force that will actively shape the future of DeFi.

The risks – Can AI undermine decentralization

While AI promises a great upturn in efficiency, it is admittedly not without risks. And one of the biggest threats that I can foresee now is AI-driven market manipulation.

Imagine a scenario where AI-powered trading firms control DeFi, making it that much harder for retail investors to compete.

This is already something that we’re seeing in TradFi (traditional finance), as high-frequency trading firms use AI to exploit market inefficiencies.

The same could happen in DeFi, resulting in an arms race between AI bots, while human traders remain outmatched and essentially get left behind.

That said, DeFi has a bit of an advantage in this regard. Its high spreads and transaction fees act as a natural barrier against immediate AI domination.

Since trading bots in DeFi must deal with significant costs, it creates a chicken-and-egg situation.

As long as fees and spreads remain high, AI-driven trading won’t scale easily. And on the other hand, without a large trading volume, those costs will stay high.

This may actually prevent AI-driven market manipulation, since everyone in DeFi has to operate on equal terms.

Beyond that, there’s also the issue of AI-generated smart contracts to consider. AI can write entire contracts, but what happens if those contracts contain hidden vulnerabilities?

Hackers could exploit AI-generated code, using adversarial inputs to bypass security audits.

A single compromised AI-generated contract could mean millions of dollars’ worth of losses in crypto assets.

This is a threat that DeFi developers will have to take very seriously – you absolutely should not rely on AI to write the code for you.

The future of AI and crypto

The AI race is not just a competition for dominance between nations – the real battle is between open-source and closed-source AI.

The introduction of DeepSeek R1 has already become the basis for a major shift in this regard.

It broke traditional assumptions about AI development, proving that billion-dollar budgets of BigTech companies aren’t always necessary for groundbreaking innovation to take place.

AI development is no longer centralized, and I think that open-source models could align well with crypto’s values, as opposed to a more centralized approach.

The idea that AI will take over the crypto sector is no longer a matter for debate. The only question now is how fast it will happen.

COINBASE HIRING SPREE: 1,000 JOBS INCOMING AS CRYPTO REGULATIONS IMPROVE

Coinbase is preparing to grow. In 2025, the company intends to add 1,000 new workers in the US, according to CEO Brian Armstrong. This decision comes as the nation’s cryptocurrency laws become more defined, allowing businesses like Coinbase to function with greater assurance.

A Change In Regulations Instills Confidence

Armstrong claims that the additional hires are a direct result of US President Donald Trump’s administration’s improved crypto laws. The CEO attributed Coinbase’s expansion into the US to the government’s efforts to provide a more transparent environment for the sector.

Compared to prior years, this is a significant shift. Tough market conditions forced the exchange to lay off 1,100 workers in 2022, or around 18% of its global workforce. Now that the legal landscape is more solid, Coinbase is adopting a new strategy by investing in new manpower.

SEC Steps Back From Enforcement

Another major development is the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dropping its enforcement action against Coinbase. This means that instead of the SEC making regulatory decisions, Congress will now take charge of setting crypto laws.

For Coinbase, this change eliminates a major barrier. The company can now concentrate on business expansion rather than legal disputes as the SEC is no longer putting any legal pressure on it. Armstrong’s announcement of onboarding new staff reflects this renewed optimism.

White House Crypto Conference Affects Choices

The disclosure came after Friday’s Crypto Summit at the White House. Government representatives and business executives gathered at the summit to talk about how to regulate digital assets in a way that benefits investors and companies alike. According to Armstrong, the conversations influenced Coinbase’s employment decisions.

Crypto supporters have long pushed for clearer rules in the US. Many believe that regulation will help the industry grow while ensuring companies operate within legal boundaries. Armstrong’s remarks indicate that the government is finally moving in the right direction.

A Positive Turn For Coinbase?

According to the employment timeline, Coinbase is in a better situation than it was a few years back. The company has been through layoffs, legal battles, and market downturns. Now, though, with regulatory clarity and less SEC intervention, the company now has its sights set on expansion.

All eyes will be on the crypto exchange behemoth as it prepares to accept a new batch of workforce.

BRICS MAY BE IN TROUBLE AS EXPERTS PROJECT ‘TARIFF-DRIVEN’ US DOLLAR SURGE

Although we are just two months into the year, geopolitical tension has reached a fever pitch. With the United States adopting an aggressive economic policy, a host of nations are concerned over a brewing trade war. However, it could work out in their favor, as BRICS may be in trouble with experts projecting a potential tariff-driven US dollar surge.

Under the direction of US President Donald Trump, the nation is enacting a host of tariffs through new policy. Indeed, it is not only BRICS, as Mexico and Canada have suffered from the new administration’s effort to balance trade. In turn, it could have a positive effect on the US dollar.

BRICS and Global Market Could See US Dollar Enjoy Tariff-Driven Surge

Since his return to the White House, Donald Trump has sought to do away with decorum and delicacy. In an effort to balance the nation’s international standing, Trump has adopted increased import taxes on a host of countries. The question is, will it pay off?

The answer could surprise many. Indeed, BRICS may be in trouble as experts project a ‘tariff-drive’ US dollar surge in the near future. If it does take place, it could see the President rewarded for his policy and ensure the reserve status of the greenback, something that Trump has focused on since his return.

According to Goldman Sachs analysts, the US dollar could increase from protectionist trade policies. Moreover, the movement could make the asset even more attractive to currency traders, experts state.

The bank states that entities that take long positions in the US dollar will see increased profits as tariffs strengthen its appeal. This could be dangerous for the BRICS group. Not only does it reinforce increased tariffs, but it reverses the work they’ve done in the last several years to de-dollarize global markets.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SPURS CREDIT UNIONS' RETURN TO CRYPTOCURRENCY

DALLAS—The Trump Administration is bringing more credit unions back to offering cryptocurrency, says Bank Social, which offers advice to CUs considering stepping into this space.

The return to offering the service by more credit unions follows a sharp decline in cooperatives offering crypto services to members following the collapse of FTX in late 2022 and the sudden departure of NYDIG within the CU industry not long afterward.

Becky Reed, COO of crypto platform Bank Social, said the two primary reasons credit unions are coming back is the Trump Administration’s pro-crypto agenda and its emphasis on deregulation.

“The last six months we have seen interest begin to gain ground in digital assets—not just for investing but for payments, fractional lending and more,” said Reed.

GlobalData banking analyst Harry Swain said FIs could face fewer crypto regulatory hurdles under the Trump Administration.

“As you'll, recall back in 2022 there was quite a bit of interest in cryptocurrency among credit unions, and there were some folks in the credit union space offering a crypto wallets, including us,” Reed said. “And then, FTX happened, and everyone kind of scattered to the wind.”

What also left a bad taste in the mouths of credit unions regarding digital currency is crypto platform NYDIG backing out of its agreements with credit unions in late 2023—forcing many members to sell their cryptocurrency—some at a loss—damaging member relationships with CUs that had been working with NYDIG.

Non-Custodial Crypto Wallet

Bank Social offers a non-custodial crypto wallet, where consumers control their digital money, not the crypto platform, owning their currency from day one.

“Credit unions were really starting to see the use cases for crypto. In fact, when I would speak at meetings I would ask people, just like I did in ’22 and ’23, how many people in the room felt like crypto was a scam. In ’22 and ’23, a third to half the room would raise their hands. Now, no one is raising their hand,” Reed said. “People are starting to understand that crypto is not just about speculative investing, but there are real use cases.”

Reed pointed to the momentum that has been building for cryptocurrency, noting that an a16Z study on the state of crypto in 2024 shows that in the second quarter of 2024, dollars in stablecoin transactions exceeded total Visa dollars.

“In the same period, Visa had more transactions. But, the transaction dollars are smaller,” Reed said. “The dollars in crypto transactions are massive.”

Reed said to expect crypto to lead to market disruption this year.

“I believe the theme song for 2025 is going to be payments, and of course cryptocurrency and stablecoins,” Reed said. “With the Trump Administration there's going to be a more bullish approach to crypto adoption, because, as you know, the FDIC has come out and said you don't want to play in this space unless you get our permission.”

Reed pointed out that credit unions have taken a wait-and-see approach, adding that NCUA has said to do what's best for members, making sure the CU is doing its due diligence.

“The message to credit unions is don't be afraid to test, try, pilot,” she said.

Reed asserted that every candidate from the November elections that had a pro-crypto stance was elected.

“That speaks about what is actually happening on the ground,” Reed said. “Here at Bank Social, we already started to see more interest in crypto among credit unions before the election.”

Bullish Prediction

Reed explained that Bank Social had about 25 credit unions in its pipeline when the FTX collapse happened, and only about five moved forward afterward.

“Today, several dozens of credit unions are interested,” Reed said. “We are getting calls from credit unions about once a day. I am being bullish on this prediction, but by the end of ’25 I project we will be working with more than 100 credit unions.”

Reed shared advice for credit unions considering playing in the crypto space.

“Credit union leadership, as well as boards, need to have what I call a digital roadmap that includes all things digital,” she said. “Credit unions these days, and all financial institutions, are really interacting with their members in the digital world.”

Reed said CUs must be learning how cryptocurrency fits best into what their members are doing.

“Are their members using it as an investment? Or are they using it as a basis for payments? Can they hold stablecoin deposits? They need to understand the ownership economy of Web3, union boards don't know what Web3 is,” she said. “I think it's important to understand that's the next iteration, the next wave of the Internet.”

BRICS: WHY CRYPTO MAY BE CLEAREST PATH THROUGH US TRADE WAR

2025 has come with rising geopolitical tensions that have created no shortage of uncertainty for global markets.

However, with BRICS and the United States set to face reciprocal tariffs, crypto may be the clearest pay through a US-driven trade war. Indeed, the emerging asset class could provide something that both sides want.

US President Donald Trump has maintained his aggressive economic policy stance since returning to the White House. 

Specifically, he has targeted the growing BRICS economic alliance. With his eyes set on securing the end of de-dollarization and the global south seeking alternate trade currencies, they could have a joint solution in digital assets.

BRICS & US Could Use Crypto to Find Way Through Budding Trade War

Donald Trump’s contentious relationship with the BRICS alliance is undeniable. The economic bloc has been on the receiving end of several threats, as the President has promised to levy 150% tariffs on the collective. Specifically, he has targeted the group for its past attempts to de-dollarize global markets.

However, there could be a solution present for both sides. For BRICS, crypto may be the clearest path through a potential US trade war. Indeed, the asset class may provide a simple answer that gets both sides what they want, in the short and long term.

Trump’s main point of issue with BRICS is its efforts to move away from the US dollar. However, his weaponization of it reaffirms the necessity of that action. Moreover, the alliance has recently affirmed its decision to find alternative trade settlement currencies outside of the greenback.

Bitcoin could be an answer worth exploring for both sides. Adoption of the digital currency could ensure that the blocs don’t disregard the US dollar in favor of an alliance-denominated asset. Meanwhile, it is still a de-dollarization shift in its truest sense

Alternatively, the Trump administration has shown an affinity for Bitcoin. With a BTC reserve strategy to be released today, the adoption of the asset class could be beneficial to the United States.

A common ground in promoting the use of Bitcoin on a global scale could be the best answer to curtail any brewing trade war between the US and BRICS.

What Does Gold Revaluation Mean For The Gold Price? | Peter Grandich

What Does Gold Revaluation Mean For The Gold Price? | Peter Grandich

Liberty and Finance:  3-8-2025

Peter Grandich discusses the volatility in the stock market, attributing it to uncertainty in the economy and signs of a potential downturn.

He emphasizes the bullish outlook for gold and silver, explaining that despite recent price fluctuations, precious metals remain a strong investment due to their fundamental strength.

Grandich also touches on the financial troubles facing the U.S., particularly the unsustainable growth of national debt and the challenges of servicing interest payments.

He predicts that geopolitical tensions, such as those in Ukraine and the Middle East, could further drive gold prices higher. Overall, Grandich’s insights suggest a cautious view of the stock market while highlighting precious metals as a safer haven amid economic and political instability.

Grandich didn’t shy away from addressing the elephant in the room: the precarious financial situation of the United States. He pointed to the unsustainable trajectory of the national debt, highlighting the looming challenges of servicing the ever-increasing interest payments.

This growing debt burden, he argued, is a major vulnerability that could exacerbate any future economic downturn.

Furthermore, Grandich believes that escalating geopolitical tensions will further fuel the demand for gold. He specifically mentioned the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, suggesting that these volatile situations will drive investors towards the perceived safety and stability of gold, ultimately pushing prices higher.

In essence, Peter Grandich’s appearance on Liberty and Finance provided a sobering assessment of the current economic landscape.

 He painted a picture of a stock market fraught with volatility and potential risks, while simultaneously championing gold and silver as a more prudent investment strategy in the face of economic and political turmoil. His insights underscore the importance of cautious financial planning and a diversification strategy that includes precious metals as a hedge against potential losses.

For investors seeking shelter from the storm, Grandich’s analysis suggests that gold and silver offer a beacon of stability in an increasingly uncertain world.

The U.S. Needs a Real Gold Audit: Jan Nieuwenhuijs

The U.S. Needs a Real Gold Audit: Jan Nieuwenhuijs

Palisades Gold Radio:  3-7-2025

Tom welcomes back Jan Nieuwenhuijs to explore the dynamics of the global gold market and its implications for global monetary systems.

Key topics include the movement of gold from London to Comex, driven by concerns over tariffs and geopolitical shifts. Jan explains that this flow reflects both physical arbitrage and strategic reshuffling of gold reserves, with banks moving gold into the U.S. for potential future use or resale in Asia.

The discussion also delves into the lack of transparency around U.S. gold audits, particularly at Fort Knox.

 Jan highlights issues with the auditing process, noting that compartments have been reopened multiple times without proper justification, raising questions about the integrity of the audits.

 He argues for an independent audit to ensure accountability and reassurance regarding the nation's gold holdings. Another significant point is the valuation of U.S. gold reserves at $42 per ounce, a relic from the Bretton Woods era aimed at demonetizing gold.

Jan suggests that revaluing gold could unlock substantial funds but warns this would be inflationary.

 He also touches on the role of gold in China's financial strategy, noting that while official reports understate their purchases, they are actively accumulating gold to diversify away from the dollar.

Lastly, Jan concludes with the importance of tracking central bank gold buying and developments in alternative payment systems like the BRICS mBridge, which could challenge the dollar's dominance.

Is the Gold Gone? Did the U.S. Treasury Lease it? This Would Break the System

Is the Gold Gone? Did the U.S. Treasury Lease it? This Would Break the System

Daniela Cambone:  3-7-2025

Gold never settles. You just roll it over and roll it over,” says Jim Rickards, New York Times best-selling author.

He tells Daniela Cambone that there isn’t enough physical gold to accommodate the paper gold transactions, which can be leased to numerous parties in a chain called “sales of unallocated gold.”

“I own it on paper, but there's no physical gold behind the contract,” he explains.

However, he warns that if there were ever a run on the paper market, it would “break the market,” resulting in gold “quadruple almost overnight.”

His primary concern revolves around the disparity between the vast amounts of paper gold traded and the limited supply of physical gold to back it up. He describes a system of “sales of unallocated gold,” where the same physical gold is leased to numerous parties, creating a chain of ownership that exists only on paper.

The core of the problem lies in the leverage inherent in the paper gold market. Institutions can sell gold they don’t possess, creating a synthetic supply that far exceeds the reality. This artificial supply keeps the price artificially suppressed. However, if trust erodes and investors lose confidence in the system’s ability to deliver physical gold, the scramble to secure actual bullion will trigger a price surge unlike anything we’ve seen before.

Rickards’ warning serves as a stark reminder of the potential risks associated with solely relying on paper gold investments. While he doesn’t explicitly advocate for any specific action in this article, his overall message emphasizes the importance of understanding the intricacies of the gold market and taking steps to protect one’s wealth.

The interview with Daniela Cambone provides deeper insights into potential strategies for mitigating the risks highlighted by Rickards. He suggests considering the benefits of holding physical gold, stored securely and accessible in times of market turmoil.

Jim Rickards’ cautionary tale underscores the potential fragility of the paper gold market. The discrepancy between paper claims and physical gold reserves poses a significant risk, and a rush for physical delivery could trigger a dramatic price spike.

While predicting the exact timing is impossible, understanding the dynamics of the market and taking appropriate measures to safeguard your gold holdings could prove crucial in navigating the turbulent times ahead.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

THE EMERGENCE OF LAYER-TWO SOLUTIONS – HOW THEY’RE TRANSFORMING BLOCKCHAIN SCALABILITY AND USHERING IN A NEW ERA OF CRYPTO INNOVATION

In the ever-evolving world of blockchain technology, scalability has been one of the most significant challenges.

As blockchain networks like Ethereum (ETH) continue to see exponential growth, layer-two solutions are emerging as a vital component in addressing issues of network congestion and high transaction fees.

In this post, we’ll dive into the latest developments in layer-two technology, its impact on blockchain scalability and how it’s paving the way for a more efficient and sustainable future for DeFi (decentralized finance) and beyond.

Understanding layer-two solutions

Blockchain networks like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum have often been criticized for their limited transaction throughput and scalability.

Layer-two solutions aim to solve this problem by providing a secondary framework that operates on top of the main blockchain (layer one), allowing for faster, cheaper and more scalable transactions.

There are different types of layer-two solutions, including the following.

▪State channels – These allow two parties to transact off-chain and only settle the final state on the blockchain, reducing congestion.
▪Rollups – Rollups bundle multiple transactions into one, significantly improving transaction speed and lowering fees.
▪Plasma and optimistic rollups – Plasma offers a framework for building scalable applications, while optimistic rollups enable faster execution by assuming transactions are valid until proven otherwise.

Layer-two in action – Ethereum’s road to scalability

Ethereum – one of the most popular blockchain networks – has been at the forefront of layer-two innovation.

The Ethereum network has struggled with high gas fees and slow transaction times due to its PoW (proof-of-work) consensus mechanism.

However, Ethereum 2.0 and the integration of layer-two solutions, such as Optimism (OP) and Arbitrum (ARB), have shown tremendous promise in scaling Ethereum without compromising security.

These layer-two solutions are helping to reduce Ethereum’s gas fees by processing transactions off-chain and only committing essential data to the Ethereum mainnet, making Ethereum more accessible to users across the globe.

In fact, as Ethereum embraces a hybrid model of layer-one and layer-two, it’s enabling DApps (decentralized applications) to run more efficiently and cost-effectively.

Recent updates – Layer-two adoption in the real world

▪Polygon’s expanding ecosystem – Polygon (MATIC), one of the most notable layer-two platforms on Ethereum, has recently seen explosive growth. With major projects like Aave (AAVE), Decentraland (MANA) and even Starbucks utilizing Polygon to enhance scalability and reduce fees, it’s clear that layer-two solutions are becoming an integral part of the DeFi and non-fungible token (NFT) ecosystem.

▪Arbitrum’s airdrop and rise in popularity – Arbitrum’s recent airdrop was one of the most highly anticipated events in the crypto space. This optimistic rollup solution has gained substantial traction for its low-cost transactions and high throughput, making it a go-to choice for developers and users in the Ethereum ecosystem.

▪Solana’s layer-two integration – While Solana (SOL) is a layer-one blockchain known for its high-speed and low-cost transactions, it has also been exploring layer-two solutions to enhance its ecosystem further. With the introduction of layer-two protocols like zk-Rollups, Solana is continuing its push to become a global blockchain platform.

Why layer-two is the key to unlocking crypto’s potential

Layer-two solutions are set to play a critical role in driving the mass adoption of blockchain technology.

By reducing transaction costs, improving transaction speed and minimizing network congestion, layer-two platforms are making DeFi, gaming and NFTs more accessible to the broader population.

In addition to scalability, layer-two solutions offer enhanced privacy and security.

As blockchain adoption grows, and more people enter the world of DeFi and crypto, layer-two will continue to bridge the gap between traditional financial systems and the decentralized world, ensuring that blockchain technology can scale for years to come.

The road ahead – A fully scalable blockchain ecosystem

As blockchain technology continues to evolve, it’s clear that layer-two solutions are not just a temporary fix but a long-term solution for scalability.

The next phase of blockchain innovation will involve further integration of layer-two solutions across multiple blockchain ecosystems, leading to faster, cheaper and more efficient DApps.

In the coming years, we can expect even more innovative layer-two protocols to emerge, offering a range of functionalities from secure cross-chain interoperability to privacy-preserving technologies.

These developments will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of DeFi, NFTs and beyond.

Conclusion

Layer-two solutions are a game changer for the blockchain industry. As Ethereum, Polygon and other layer-one blockchains integrate these technologies, we’re seeing real-world applications for DeFi, NFTs and DApps thrive.

By tackling scalability and reducing transaction costs, layer-two is helping bring blockchain into the mainstream.

For investors, developers and blockchain enthusiasts, keeping an eye on layer-two’s development is crucial to understanding where the future of crypto and blockchain innovation is headed.

U.S. BANKS CAN NOW OFFER CRYPTO SERVICES WITHOUT OCC APPROVAL

▪The OCC now allows federally regulated banks to engage in crypto activities (custody, stablecoins, nodes) without prior approval.

▪This reverses previous stricter guidance and removes regulatory warnings against bank involvement in crypto.

▪The move, coinciding with a White House crypto summit and Trump's executive order, signals a shift towards less restrictive crypto regulation.

For years, U.S. banks wanting to engage with cryptocurrency faced regulatory roadblocks. But that’s changing. In a major shift, the regulator overseeing national banks has now made it clear: federally regulated banks can offer crypto services without needing prior approval.

This decision could open the doors for more banks to enter the crypto space, making digital assets more accessible than ever. But what led to this policy change?

Let’s break it down.

Crypto Custody and Stablecoins Get the Greenlight

The OCC clarified in a new interpretive letter that national banks and federal savings associations are allowed to offer crypto custody services, manage stablecoin activities, and even operate blockchain nodes.

“The OCC expects banks to have the same strong risk management controls in place to support novel bank activities as they do for traditional ones,” said Acting Comptroller of the Currency Rodney E. Hood.

This move is expected to ease pressure on banks involved in crypto, ensuring that these activities are treated consistently, regardless of the technology used.

OCC Reverses Biden-Era Crypto Restrictions

Alongside this decision, the OCC withdrew previous guidance from President Joe Biden’s administration that had imposed extra steps for banks wanting to engage in crypto. Earlier rules required banks to notify regulators, explain their risk management plans, and obtain approval before offering crypto services.

The OCC also revoked past warnings from U.S. regulators that had discouraged banks from dealing with crypto. A 2023 statement did not ban crypto activities outright but cautioned that the sector is highly volatile and would face strict oversight.

While the crypto industry welcomed the OCC’s new stance, some remain cautious. Custodia Bank CEO Caitlin Long tweeted on March 7 that “Operation Chokepoint 2.0 isn’t over” until the U.S. Federal Reserve and the FDIC also lift their anti-crypto policies.

It’s the Crypto Era Now

The announcement came on the same day as a major development from the White House. President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a strategic reserve for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

At the White House Crypto Summit, Trump declared he was “ending Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” accusing the program of unfairly pressuring banks to cut off crypto businesses and block transfers to exchanges. He claimed the crackdown was politically motivated and was being lifted for votes rather than the right reasons.

With the OCC easing restrictions and the White House showing support for crypto, U.S. regulations on digital assets are shifting. However, with the Federal Reserve and FDIC still maintaining their policies, the fight over crypto banking is far from over.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

U.S. GOVERNMENT CONFIRMS IT WON’T BUY XRP, ETHEREUM, OR SOLANA – BITCOIN TAKES PRIORITY!

▪The U.S. government's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) will exclusively hold seized Bitcoin, solidifying its primary status.

▪Other seized cryptocurrencies (ETH, XRP, ADA, SOL) will be placed in a separate "Digital Asset Stockpile".

▪The government's crypto holdings are primarily derived from seizures, with Bitcoin prioritized and altcoins managed differently.

Peter Schiff has confirmed that the U.S. government will not be purchasing Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Cardano (ADA), or Solana (SOL) for its crypto holdings. Instead, the newly established Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) will hold only seized Bitcoin (BTC), reinforcing its position as the dominant digital asset. While the executive order signed today allows room for potential Bitcoin purchases, these would likely require approval from Congress.

No Crypto Reserve for Altcoins

Earlier reports had suggested that a government-backed crypto reserve might include XRP, ADA, SOL, and ETH, leading to a surge in their prices. However, the latest update clarifies that the U.S. government has created a separate Digital Asset Stockpile for these altcoins, but it will not be making any additional purchases. This stockpile will only contain assets seized through legal actions and will be managed by the Treasury.

Depending on regulations, these tokens may either be held or sold, but the government will not actively add to them.

Bitcoin Gets a Dedicated Strategic Reserve

Bitcoin, in contrast, will have its own Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), further reinforcing its importance in government holdings. An audit set to take place within 30 days will disclose the total amount of cryptocurrency the government owns and how these assets will be categorized. The move highlights Bitcoin’s priority over other digital assets.

No New Acquisitions!

Schiff clarified that the government will not be buying additional cryptocurrencies. Any XRP, ADA, SOL, or ETH in the Digital Asset Stockpile will come solely from past forfeitures. This means no new assets will be added unless they are seized in future legal cases.

Meanwhile, blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence confirms that the U.S. government currently owns zero XRP, SOL, or ADA. This contradicts earlier speculation that a broader crypto reserve was being established.

However, some analysts, including Moon Lambo, believe the government might hold small amounts of these assets from lesser-known seizures, but if so, the holdings are likely insignificant.

What Does the Government Currently Hold?

Right now, the U.S. government holds around 200,000 BTC, obtained through various legal seizures. While Bitcoin remains the primary focus, the government also has approximately $176 million worth of ETH and $27 million worth of BNB. However, no XRP, ADA, or SOL have been confiscated, raising questions about why they were included in the stockpile designation.

So, Where Does This Leave Bitcoin?

The crypto community, particularly Bitcoin supporters, has welcomed the government’s decision, as it further separates BTC from other cryptocurrencies. This move strengthens Bitcoin’s reputation as “digital gold” and solidifies its role as a strategic asset. However, investors who had speculated that major altcoins would be included have been left disappointed.

The government’s stance on cryptocurrency is still a major topic of interest. The market will be watching closely to see if Bitcoin purchases receive approval and how the Digital Asset Stockpile will be handled.

While Bitcoin’s dominance in government holdings is clear, the future of seized altcoins remains uncertain.

DAVID SACKS EXPLAINS WHY TRUMP MENTIONED XRP, SOL, ADA: 'PEOPLE ARE READING INTO THIS A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH'

▪David Sacks downplayed speculation, stating that President Trump simply named the top five cryptocurrencies by market cap, causing major price spikes before a pullback.

▪An executive order mandates an audit of federal digital asset reserves while also opening the door to staking and portfolio management strategies.

White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks shed light on why President Donald Trump included XRP, Solana and Cardano in his posted comments about a U.S. crypto strategic reserve last Sunday.

Many in the industry questioned the inclusion of these particular altcoins, arguing that they lack the developer activity and decentralization seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Sacks' comments came after Thursday night’s executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

"Well, the president just mentioned the top five cryptocurrencies by market cap, so I think people are reading into this a little bit too much," Sacks said Friday on Bloomberg TV. "He just mentioned the top five."

Just mentioning those coins caused spikes nearing 70% last weekend before a pullback. Sacks said Friday that "we're not sure" whether the federal government owns any of those alternative cryptocurrencies, doubling down on the executive order's call for a full audit of its current reserves.

"In terms of what we'll actually have, we have to do the accounting," Sacks said. "We know it owns Bitcoin. I believe it owns some Ethereum. I'm not sure about the other ones. No one's been able to give us a straight answer yet."

The executive order directs a full accounting of the federal government’s digital asset holdings. The U.S. government possesses 198,109 BTC, worth about $17 billion at the current market price, according to the website Bitcoin Treasuries. 

The order also establishes a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting of assets other than bitcoin forfeited in criminal or civil proceedings. The government will not acquire additional assets for the stockpile beyond those obtained through forfeiture proceedings.

Sacks also said the federal government could explore lending or staking on the cryptocurrencies it owns.

"The idea of this executive order is to create the mandate," Sacks said Friday. "We're going to do the audit, then we're going to move them into a separate account for safekeeping. And then the secretary of treasury and his team will be able to exercise portfolio management and long-term or responsible stewardship. And yes, that could include staking, it could include rebalancing [and] it could include sales. These are all options they can pursue if the secretary of treasury believes these are in the long-term interest of the American people."

Several leading crypto executives are set to attend a crypto summit hosted by President Trump in Washington, D.C. on Friday afternoon.

The prices of both XRP and ADA are down about 7% over the past 24 hours, according to The Block's crypto price data. SOL is holding up relatively well, down about 1.3%. Bitcoin and ether are down 2% and 2.7%, respectively, over the same timeframe.

MORE COUNTRIES READY TO JOIN BRICS ALLIANCE

India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar revealed that the number of countries ready to join the BRICS alliance is growing. Speaking at a session titled ‘India’s Rise and Role in the World’ in London, Jaishankar confirmed that the bloc is encouraging developing countries to break the norm and enter a new financial territory without having to depend on the US dollar for survival.

The BRICS alliance is spearheading the de-dollarization agenda in a goal of making local currencies the world’s reserve status. The move could realign the global financial sector tilting the power from the West to the East.

Number of Countries Wanting to Join BRICS Alliance Increasing

Jaishankar emphasized that the BRICS alliance is “a very diverse group” and emerging economies find the bloc to be attractive. The unity in diversity is what’s pulling other countries towards it in a common agenda of de-dollarization. “I think clearly they must be doing something right. If so many countries want to join BRICS and so many countries actually have joined,” he said.

“South Africa joined, then it has become a double-digit membership. And in 2024, last year in Kazan, we also added dialogue partners, the concept of dialogue partners,” Jaishankar said. He explained that countries even without geographical closeness want to join the BRICS alliance.

“We are an exception to the normal rules on which groups are formed. Normally countries who approximate geographically to each other or have some particular shared history or some kind of ethnic or linguistic commonality, this is normally the basis to create a group. Now, BRICS alliance defies all those assumptions. So it’s not like the Commonwealth, it’s not like the NATO, it’s not like the G7. It’s not like anything which had been conceptualized early,” he said.
