RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Tues. 17 June 2025

Compiled Tues. 17 June 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Mon. 16 June 2025: THE CHAOS ON THE SURFACE MASKS THE GRID REWRITE BENEATH …Mr. Pool on Telegram

Gulf markets tumbled early today—Qatar down 2.9%, Kuwait off 4.3%, Saudi nearly 3.6% —spurred by the latest Iran‑Israel escalation.

 Headlines blame missiles. Mr Pool intel says: It’s a shutdown test of legacy liquidity rails tied to Gulf reserves being rerouted into QFS asset mapping nodes.

Israel and Iran traded deadly strikes for a third day—first daylight sirens over Tel Aviv, oil depots hit in Tehran.

But here’s what they’re not telling you: – Gulf central banks quietly unplugged SWIFT gateways in parallel with sirens sounding—remapping digital reserves into quantum-secured vaults. – Satellite-fed QFS nodes in Dubai, Doha, Manama are handling the flow—overnight, billions were rerouted without triggering public alerts. – Rustling in Riyadh’s asset chambers—Gold-backed Rainbow Tokens linked to Gulf reserves silently activated today; not announced, but logged in QFS ledgers.

This isn’t conflict—it’s operational reset under fire. 

Missiles provide cover. Markets react in panic. And the QFS increments its command over global reserves—one silent transaction at a time.

Everyone panics over oil prices. We track leaks in the legacy system. They call it war. We call it recalibration.

Today proves a truth: They can launch missiles. They can crash markets. But they cannot stop the Quantum Grid from extracting and securing the real value.

Global Financial Crisis:

Mon. 2 June 2025 The New Global Quantum Financial System … (JFK Jr.) on Telegram

The signing of a historic treaty by 209 nations marks the beginning of the greatest financial transition in modern history. The world is about to witness the birth of a new, fair, and gold-backed financial system under GESARA.

For decades, global currencies were manipulated to serve the few. Countries were trapped in cycles of debt, with their wealth extracted through central banks and fiat deception. That ends now.

The treaty also unlocks a Prosperity Fund to finance humanitarian projects worldwide—schools, hospitals, clean water, housing, and restoration.

A Wealth Redistribution Program will ensure that every individual on Earth receives a share. Not just countries, but people. Every QFS account is linked to the individual owner’s biometric ID. Every transaction is instant, uncorrupted, and untraceable by outside forces.

The Stellar Network opens access to secure digital wallets, even in the most remote corners of the world. Individuals no longer need permission from corrupted systems to participate in the global economy.

QFS debit cards, secured by biometric verification and quantum encryption, are replacing them permanently. No more fraud. No more hidden fees. No more theft disguised as bank

Military units are now overseeing the logistics, security, and data coordination of the RV rollout. Secure transport of physical currency, protection of financial institutions, and quantum-level fraud prevention systems are already in motion.

The banks were engines of global exploitation. Deutsche Bank, HSBC, JP Morgan—names that laundered trillions for the cabal—are being neutralized. The days of VISA, Mastercard, PayPal, and Stripe exploiting humanity are ending. Everything you knew about money, credit, and ownership is being rewritten from the ground up.

The treaty signed unlocks the revaluation of currencies: some down, but some up like the Iraqi Dinar, Vietnamese Dong, and Zimbabwe ZIM.

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

Mon. 16 June 2025: The Collapse of the Legacy Banking System

Since June 1, over 2,100 banks worldwide have been quietly delisted, absorbed, or shuttered due to non-compliance with Basel IV and QFS integration standards. These aren’t random closures — they are part of a synchronized takedown of the fiat infrastructure.

 Every financial institution that failed to back its deposits with verifiable hard assets is being purged.

Germany, the Deutsche Bank restructuring is a smokescreen for a full QFS audit

U.S., regional banks are being “merged” into Treasury-controlled holding zones, preparing for Rainbow Currency wallet release.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Ripple v. SEC Stalls Again as Appeal Put on Hold — Here’s What’s Holding It Up

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has requested to extend the pause in its high-profile legal battle with Ripple Labs, with the next court update scheduled for August 15.

In a joint filing submitted on June 16, both parties asked the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to maintain the current hold, citing an unresolved district court issue—despite reaching a formal settlement agreement last month.

What Began as a Billion-Dollar Dispute Edges Toward Resolution

▪️ This case, launched in 2020, centers around the SEC’s accusation that Ripple illegally raised $1.3 billion through unregistered XRP sales.

▪️ A partial ruling in 2023 provided clarity: XRP sales to retail investors were not securities, but institutional sales were found to have violated securities laws.

▪️ In May 2024, the two sides reached a settlement in principle, finalized in writing on May 8. Under the agreement:

• Ripple will pay $50 million to the SEC.

• The remaining $75 million from a previous penalty will be returned to Ripple.

• The injunction blocking certain Ripple activities would be dissolved.

Settlement Hits a Wall in District Court

▪️ The agreement cannot move forward without district court approval to revise its earlier judgment.

▪️ Both parties submitted a motion requesting an indicative ruling—a legal signal from the court that it would consider modifying the judgment.

▪️ On May 15, the court denied this motion, citing a failure to meet the standard of “exceptional circumstances.”

▪️ In response, the SEC and Ripple filed a renewed motion on June 12, hoping to meet the court’s threshold. No ruling has been issued yet.

Appeals Paused, Legal Uncertainty Grows

▪️ As the legal process stalls, the SEC has asked the appeals court to continue the pause, promising an update by August 15.

▪️ The delay prolongs regulatory uncertainty as crypto firms, investors, and policymakers await further clarity on the application of U.S. securities law to digital assets.

▪️ With billions in crypto markets still in a legal grey area, this case remains a bellwether for how token sales and crypto company operations may be judged going forward.

A Waiting Game With Major Implications

While a path to resolution appears to be forming, the final outcome hinges on court approval of the settlement terms. For now, both the appeals and the Ripple-SEC agreement remain in limbo—with industry-wide consequences hanging in the balance.

Cardano Founder Confirms Full XRP Package in the Works Around Glacier Airdrop, XRP DeFi, and RLUSD

Charles Hoskinson has confirmed that a comprehensive XRP ecosystem integration is underway within the Cardano network, including support for the Glacier Airdrop, XRP-powered DeFi, and possible RLUSD stablecoin adoption.

The announcement signals a major shift toward cross-chain collaboration and potentially heals long-standing tensions between the Cardano and XRP communities.

Glacier Airdrop and XRP Wallet Support on Lace

▪️ A core piece of this initiative is the Glacier Airdrop, now expected in Q4 2025, which will distribute Midnight tokens—used for Cardano’s privacy-focused sidechain—to retail users across multiple chains, including XRP holders.

▪️ Hoskinson emphasized this effort is built around “cooperative economics,” prioritizing community participation over VC allocations.

▪️ The airdrop will reportedly reach over 37 million wallets, marking one of the largest cross-chain community rewards attempted in the blockchain space.

▪️ Additionally, Cardano’s Lace wallet is preparing to add native XRP support, following its successful Bitcoin integration in Lace v1.22 this past April.

“This is part of our effort to turn Lace into a true multi-chain asset manager, bridging Cardano to wider ecosystems,” Hoskinson said.

XRP DeFi Integration in Cardano’s Ecosystem

▪️ The Cardano team is actively developing infrastructure to bring XRP into its DeFi environment, focusing on:

• Cross-chain liquidity pools

• Decentralized exchanges (DEXs)

• Leveraging XRP’s speed and cost-efficiency

▪️ While still early-stage, Hoskinson suggested that Midnight, Cardano’s zero-knowledge sidechain, may play a key role as a DeFi layer for XRP, potentially offering enhanced yield opportunities.

Talks Underway for RLUSD on Cardano

▪️ In what could be a milestone for stablecoin interoperability, Ripple’s RLUSD may soon expand beyond the XRP Ledger, with discussions underway about integrating it into the Cardano network.

▪️ Hoskinson confirmed these conversations are in their early stages but said both parties “see real value” in bringing RLUSD to Cardano’s ecosystem.

• The move would expand RLUSD’s user base

• It would also boost liquidity and stability within Cardano DeFi platforms

Toward a Real XRP–Cardano Partnership

Hoskinson’s comments mark the most direct effort yet to bridge the XRP and Cardano ecosystems, historically viewed as separate and even adversarial within crypto discourse.

▪️ The proposed “XRP package” includes:

• Glacier Airdrop eligibility for XRP holders

• Lace wallet XRP support

• DeFi connectivity via Midnight

• Potential RLUSD cross-chain deployment

Though still in development, this initiative could bring two of crypto’s largest communities closer than ever—and lay the foundation for shared infrastructure, liquidity, and growth.

What Happens if BRICS Currency Prevails — and Why Is India Worried?

The proposed BRICS currency—championed by China and Russia—is gaining momentum as the alliance prepares for its possible launch. A mock-up bill displayed by President Putin at the last BRICS summit confirmed that plans for a new tender to rival the U.S. dollar are active and advancing.

But as excitement builds, one member is signaling sharp resistance: India. New Delhi has expressed open concerns about the impact such a currency could have on its economy—and its place in the global financial system.

India Breaks Ranks Over De-Dollarization

▪️ India is the only BRICS member to publicly oppose the de-dollarization agenda promoted by China and Russia.

▪️ This comes after former U.S. President Donald Trump warned of potential economic consequences for nations drifting away from the U.S. dollar.

▪️ While Brazil remains cautious, India has made it clear that it favors maintaining ties with Western financial institutions, rather than embracing a BRICS-led currency model.

China’s Leverage and the Belt and Road Factor

▪️ China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) plays a pivotal role in its influence over smaller BRICS and Global South nations.

• With billions invested in ports, railways, and infrastructure, Beijing already holds significant financial sway.

• A successful BRICS currency would only solidify China’s economic dominance across Southeast Asia and Africa.

▪️ India is particularly concerned that such a shift would give China further power to shape trade policies across the region, leaving India at a strategic disadvantage.

Rupee Vulnerability and Asymmetrical Trade

▪️ If the BRICS currency succeeds, the Indian rupee could face increased instability, especially if regional trade begins to shift away from dollar benchmarks.

▪️ India-China trade has long been imbalanced, and ongoing border disputes have only heightened mistrust.

• Indian policymakers fear that China could weaponize a BRICS currency to tip economic dynamics further in its favor.

“India recognizes the BRICS currency as a potential vehicle for Chinese dominance—not just economically, but geopolitically,” analysts note.

Modi’s Balancing Act: Contain China, Preserve Western Ties

▪️ Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is pursuing a strategy to limit China’s financial rise while preserving its role within the BRICS framework.

▪️ India views continued alignment with Western financial systems as a buffer against Chinese overreach.

▪️ The government’s stance reflects a broader objective: to maintain balance in Southeast Asia and ensure that no single power—especially China—dictates the region’s financial architecture.

What’s at Stake

▪️ A successful BRICS currency could reshape global finance, potentially undermining the dollar’s dominance.

▪️ But for India, the cost could be economic instability and geopolitical disadvantage.

• A BRICS tender led by China threatens to shift the region’s center of gravity, with India forced into a reactive, rather than proactive, role.

For now, India is pushing back, hoping to reshape the conversation before a BRICS currency becomes reality.

Coinbase & Gemini Secure EU MiCA Licenses Amid Malta–Lux Clash

Two of the crypto industry's biggest names—Coinbase and Gemini—are finalizing regulatory approvals under Europe's new MiCA framework, but their divergent paths have sparked debate across the continent. With Malta’s fast-tracking and Luxembourg’s slower, high-standard approach, the European crypto regulatory landscape is entering a pivotal phase.

Coinbase and Gemini: Two Roads to MiCA Approval

▪️ Coinbase is seeking its EU MiCA license via Luxembourg, a globally respected financial center.
▪️ Gemini, meanwhile, is nearing imminent approval from Malta, which has already licensed OKX and Crypto.com within weeks.
▪️ This divergence is testing European Union regulatory consistency, as MiCA allows member states to issue single-market licenses to crypto firms.

Malta’s Fast-Track Raises Eyebrows

Malta’s rapid approval process is under scrutiny by regulators from other EU countries. Critics argue that a “license shopping” effect could emerge, where firms seek out the most lenient jurisdictions.

▪️ France’s AMF warned of a “regulatory race to the bottom,” pointing to Malta's small regulatory staff.
▪️ Malta’s MFSA defended its speed, saying: “Expedited processing was due to our in-depth understanding acquired over these years.”

Luxembourg's Deliberate Approach

Coinbase has taken a more measured route via Luxembourg, with its MiCA application underway for months.

▪️ A Coinbase representative emphasized Luxembourg’s global financial credibility, calling it “a high-bar, well respected financial centre.”
▪️ The firm plans to hire over 20 new staff in Luxembourg by year-end, expanding its existing 200-person European team.

MiCA Faces Its First Real Test

As the first major MiCA licenses are issued, the EU's ability to maintain regulatory uniformity is being put to the test.

▪️ Central Bank Governor Gabriel Makhlouf previously compared crypto to a Ponzi scheme, warning: “Most of the time when you gamble, you’re actually losing.”
▪️ ESMA is now examining Malta’s process closely, with a report to be shared among member states in the coming weeks.

What's at Stake

With the Gemini MiCA approval and Coinbase EU MiCA license serving as precedent, these cases could define:

• Whether MiCA's promise of harmonization will hold

• How jurisdictional competition might impact investor protections

• The degree of regulatory trust within the EU's internal crypto market

As regulatory friction builds, Europe’s new crypto era is taking shape—and the outcomes of these licenses may define the rules of engagement for years to come.

Vietnam Passes Landmark Law Defining Digital Assets, Boosting AI and Chip Sectors

Vietnam has taken a major step forward in regulating crypto and accelerating digital innovation. A new law passed by the National Assembly legalizes digital assets and lays the foundation for massive state-backed investment in semiconductors, AI, and digital infrastructure. The move positions Vietnam as one of the first nations with a comprehensive legal framework for digital assets.

Clear Rules for Crypto—And Major Incentives for Tech

▪️ The Law on Digital Technology Industry, passed with 441 out of 445 votes, takes effect January 1, 2026.
▪️ It formally classifies digital assets into three categories: virtual assets, crypto assets, and other digital assets—each with defined property rights under civil law.
▪️ The law ends the regulatory gray zone that pushed Vietnamese crypto startups to relocate abroad.

What the Law Covers

▪️ Virtual assets: Used for exchange or investment, not recognized as currency.
▪️ Crypto assets: Authenticated and transferred via encryption and blockchain.
▪️ Other digital assets: Encompassing non-financial digital goods.
▪️ Securities, fiat tokens, and other financial instruments are excluded from these definitions.

A Homecoming for Crypto Innovation

Vietnam’s crypto ecosystem had seen explosive growth despite unclear laws.

▪️ The country ranked 5th globally in crypto adoption in 2024, per Chainalysis.
▪️ Over $105 billion in blockchain investments entered Vietnam during 2023–24—mostly routed through offshore entities.
▪️ Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh had previously ordered crypto regulation development to support his 8% GDP growth target.

The new law is designed to bring crypto firms back home by offering both legal certainty and economic incentives.

Vietnam Bets Big on AI, Chips, and Data Centers

Beyond crypto, the legislation signals a bold national tech agenda:

▪️ Aims to grow to 150,000 digital technology enterprises by 2035.
▪️ Offers corporate tax rates as low as 10% for 15 years for qualifying tech firms.
▪️ Waives import duties and land rental fees for digital infrastructure, AI, and semiconductor ventures.
▪️ Projects investing $80M+ in data centers or $160M+ in chip fabs qualify for "special" status—triggering perks like five-year personal tax exemptions for foreign experts.

Vietnam explicitly states its goal to become “an essential link in the global semiconductor supply chain.”

This landmark legislation is more than crypto regulation—it's a full-scale blueprint for transforming Vietnam into a leading digital economy in Asia.

BRICS Just Launched a New Energy Alliance Backed by Petro-Yuan Deals

The BRICS energy alliance has officially launched a coordinated system of petro-yuan oil contracts, directly challenging the U.S. dollar’s dominance in global energy markets. With an expanded bloc now controlling 46 million barrels per day of oil production, BRICS is rapidly implementing currency shift mechanisms—including yuan-denominated contracts, rupee-ruble swaps, and local currency financing—marking the most significant threat to U.S. financial hegemony since Bretton Woods.

How BRICS Plus Is Reshaping Global Energy Markets and Challenging Dollar Hegemony

Energy Production Powerhouse Emerges

▪️ The expanded BRICS energy alliance includes Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran, UAE, and Brazil, jointly producing nearly a quarter of global oil—totaling 46 million barrels per day.

▪️ Gas reserves are even more concentrated, with Russia, Iran, Qatar, Algeria, and UAE now holding two-thirds of global reserves.

▪️ Petro-yuan transactions are rising sharply. In one year, 60% of yuan-denominated crude oil trades took place on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, bypassing the U.S. dollar entirely.

▪️ Strategic energy infrastructure projects like the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline—linking China, Kazakhstan, and Russia—are set to be operational by late 2025, further boosting BRICS' influence.

Payment Revolution Underway

▪️ Energy payments are shifting away from SWIFT and dollar dominance:

• Russia and India now settle in rupee-ruble swaps.

• China and Saudi Arabia process billions through yuan-riyal channels.

• The Riyadh Royal Court has reportedly reviewed the dollar-denominated oil contract system.

▪️ By early 2025, yuan-based oil trades represented 24% of daily Brent crude volume—a significant erosion of dollar exclusivity.

▪️ These developments form a parallel financial infrastructure, operating independently of Western-controlled systems.

Development Bank Financing Shift

▪️ The New Development Bank (NDB), a BRICS financial arm, is aiming for 30% of all lending in local currencies by 2026, up from 22% today.

▪️ The bank maintains a $5 billion annual lending target while reducing its dependence on the U.S. dollar.

▪️ Major projects now financed in local currencies include:

• Nairobi-SGR railway renovation (Kenya)

• Johor Baru port expansion (Malaysia)

▪️ Petro-yuan oil contracts are thus not confined to commodities—they underpin broad development financing as well.

Challenges and Future Implications

▪️ The BRICS bloc still grapples with internal tensions, such as the India-China border dispute and Iran-Saudi regional rivalry.

▪️ A unified BRICS currency remains elusive, requiring full consensus, and members have divergent views on implementation.

▪️ The U.S. dollar still dominates, accounting for 59% of global reserves compared to just 2.48% for the yuan. But that gap is being challenged in practical terms.

▪️ Analysts describe this moment as the “first defeat of the invincible army”—not a full collapse of dollar dominance, but a fundamental shift to multi-currency energy systems.

A New Global Financial Map in the Making

BRICS' energy initiatives effectively transform the dollar from a compulsory tool to an optional one. While the U.S. retains unmatched military spending—$750 billion annually—its monetary control in global trade is no longer absolute.

Through the petro-yuan contracts, local-currency development loans, and alternative payment systems, the BRICS energy alliance offers a functional route for Global South nations to escape Western financial dependency.

This marks the most substantial de-dollarization movement in decades, with real-world energy trade flows and infrastructure spending steadily redesigning the global economic landscape—outside traditional, Western-led frameworks.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Israel–Iran Conflict Could Trigger Economic Maelstrom Affecting Millions
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran threatens to severely disrupt global markets and may cascade into a broader geopolitical and economic crisis. At the heart of this threat lies the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil flows, which Iran is considering closing in response to Israeli military actions.

Iran–Israel Conflict Might Upend the World’s Oil Markets

Geopolitical tensions are once again shaking world markets. The confrontation between Iran and Israel, if escalated further, could drastically impact global oil supply, sending prices soaring and reviving oil’s title as “black gold.”

▪️ The Strait of Hormuz, gateway from the Persian Gulf, handles 20% of the world’s oil exports
▪️ Iran is threatening to close the strait in retaliation for Israeli military strikes
▪️ A closure would represent a global energy shock with vast ripple effects on industry and supply chains

According to reports, Sardar Esmail Kowsari, Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, has declared that Iran would make “the best decision with determination” regarding the potential closure of the Strait.

Security analyst Claude Moniquet warned that this move would be “a disaster for Europe,” impacting energy markets across the globe. A 20% reduction in global oil flow could spark:

• A massive spike in oil prices

• Disruptions to global supply chains

• Industrial slowdowns in Europe and Asia

Oil Already Reacting as Risk Mounts

The markets are already pricing in these geopolitical risks. Since the early bombings:

▪️ Oil futures have surged past $70, reaching as high as $77
▪️ Volatility is expected to increase as conflict risk grows
▪️ Crude oil prices could skyrocket if military escalation shuts down transport routes

The possibility of regional expansion—as other nations act to counterbalance the fallout of a closure—could magnify the economic turmoil, potentially triggering a global recession.

A Global Flashpoint with Far-Reaching Consequences

The ultimate outcome hinges on:

• Iran’s willingness to escalate

• Its military capacity to block the Strait of Hormuz

• The international community’s response to preserve oil flows

While nothing is certain, the risk of an economic chain reaction is substantial. Even short-term disruptions in Hormuz could cause multi-billion-dollar losses, especially in energy-dependent industries.

Bottom Line: The world watches closely as a regional military conflict risks morphing into a global economic crisis. A single act—like the closure of a vital oil corridor—could send shockwaves through financial markets, energy infrastructure, and geopolitical alliances.

Vietnam Legalizes Crypto Under New Digital Technology Law

Vietnam has officially legalized crypto assets with the passing of a landmark digital technology law. The legislation, passed by the National Assembly on June 14, brings crypto under regulatory oversight for the first time and positions the country as a rising digital innovation hub.

Vietnam Passes Sweeping Law to Recognize Crypto and Promote Tech

Effective January 1, 2026, the new Law on Digital Technology Industry marks a turning point for Vietnam’s treatment of digital assets and emerging technologies.

▪️ The law recognizes crypto assets, creating a regulatory framework for their use
▪️ It categorizes digital assets into virtual assets and crypto assets, excluding securities, digital fiat, or other financial products
▪️ The Vietnamese government will define business conditions, classifications, and oversight for each type

The legislation also includes provisions for cybersecurity and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance, designed to align with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards. Vietnam has been on the FATF gray list since 2023, making this a likely strategic move toward regulatory rehabilitation.

A Strategic Play for Tech Leadership in Asia

Vietnam is not stopping at crypto. The law introduces comprehensive incentives to attract global tech players in sectors like:

• Artificial Intelligence (AI)

• Semiconductor development

• Digital infrastructure (e.g., chip design and AI data centers)

The government will provide:

▪️ Tax incentives and land-use benefits
▪️ Research and development (R&D) support
▪️ Workforce training subsidies
▪️ Integration of digital skills in national education policies

 “With this move, Viet Nam has become the first country in the world to enact a standalone law specifically dedicated to the digital technology industry,” the government said.

Crypto Scams Continue Despite Regulatory Progress

Even as Vietnam steps into legal crypto territory, enforcement challenges remain.

▪️ In February 2025, police shut down BitMiner, a fake mining scheme posing as a Dubai-based platform. It defrauded over 200 victims of $157,300 through bogus mining packages.

▪️ In December 2024, Hanoi police stopped 300 potential victims from investing in Million Smiles, a scam promoting a fake token (QFS) linked to spiritual myths. The fraud had already stolen $1.17 million from over 100 businesses and 400 individuals.

Bottom Line: Vietnam’s bold move to legalize crypto and incentivize high-tech industries places it at the forefront of digital transformation in Southeast Asia. While challenges like fraud remain, the new law signals a major step toward modernization, international integration, and long-term tech leadership.

Vietnam Joins BRICS as 10th Partner in Push for Stronger Global South Ties

Vietnam’s entry into the BRICS framework marks a major milestone in the bloc’s rise as a global power center. The move expands BRICS’ partner network to 10 nations, reinforcing its drive to reshape the global economic and governance architecture in favor of the Global South.

BRICS Welcomes Vietnam as 10th Partner

Brazil, which currently chairs BRICS, announced on June 13 that Vietnam has joined as the 10th official BRICS partner country. This decision follows the structure laid out at the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan (October 2024), where the “partner-country” framework was introduced to allow strategic cooperation with aligned nations outside of full membership.

▪️ “The government of Brazil welcomes the decision of the Vietnamese government.”
▪️ Vietnam joins other partner nations: Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan

The current full BRICS membership includes:
Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Iran

Vietnam’s involvement illustrates deepening ties with the Global South, emphasizing cooperation in:

• Economic development

• Multilateral governance reform

• Political and diplomatic coordination

Strategic Weight: Vietnam’s Role in BRICS Vision

Vietnam’s entry into BRICS reflects its increasing geopolitical and economic influence. Brazil highlighted this explicitly:

“With a population of almost 100 million and a dynamic economy deeply integrated into global value chains, Vietnam stands out as a relevant actor in Asia.”

Supporters of BRICS expansion say Vietnam contributes:

▪️ Economic scale and growth momentum
▪️ Innovation capacity across digital and industrial sectors
▪️ Strategic geographical positioning in Southeast Asia

While some critics argue that enlarging the bloc could strain policy coordination, advocates maintain that diverse perspectives like Vietnam’s can strengthen BRICS’ global relevance and diplomatic agility.

Bottom Line: Vietnam’s inclusion as a BRICS partner signals a consolidating shift in global power dynamics, boosting South-South cooperation and reinforcing a move toward a multipolar world order. As BRICS expands, the bloc’s ability to influence economic and governance norms continues to rise.

'The End of Fiat Is Now' - Why Bitcoin and Gold Are the Future | Ricardo Salinas

'The End of Fiat Is Now' - Why Bitcoin and Gold Are the Future | Ricardo Salinas

Kitco News:  6-14-2025

Billionaire Ricardo Salinas says fiat money is collapsing and Bitcoin is the only path to monetary freedom.

Alasdair Macleod: Russia Ready For A Gold Standard - China Next!

Alasdair Macleod: Russia Ready For A Gold Standard - China Next!

6-14-2025

In this latest intriguing interview, Darryl and Brian Panes from As Good As Gold Australia talk with Alasdair Macleod, Advisor to AGAGA.

 Alasdair confirms that China is moving fast and is stepping up plans to replace the dollar with a gold-backed Yuan.

 The Shanghai Gold Exchange is opening vaults abroad, and Shanghai Futures access is opening up as well. The laws of unintended consequences are alive and well.

When President Trump tried to put China out of business with punitive tariffs, China immediately responded by accelerating tariff-free trade negotiations with Japan and South Korea. President Xi then went on a whistle-stop tour of the principal ASEAN nations.

Shortly afterwards, the PBOC embarked on a policy of opening gold and silver trading outside China with new vaults, proposed in Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia.

What is this all leading to? And are there consequences for the dollar and the entire western financial system.

 Currently, we have a massively deteriorating outlook for the US dollar. What does this mean for gold and silver moving forward?

Phillip Newman from Metals Focus discusses with Kitco News that they may expect new highs for gold in the second half of 2025, and further momentum in 2026. His reasons for this are the continuation of Central Bank buying and the investment markets only just starting from late last year.

Together with trade wars, and geopolitical events, the confidence in the US dollar is disappearing. Very few analysts outside of Alasdair are mentioning the increasing debt levels, and therefore the interest on the debt piling up.

Alasdair discusses this vital topic in detail. The global economy is in a very dark, precarious state., and now, more than ever, it is time to become your own Central Bank – you need to own gold!

Good morning Dinar Recaps,

SEC, Ripple File Motion to Release $125M in Escrow as Case Winds Down

The lawsuit against Ripple, filed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in December 2020, is finally wrapping up.

Ripple and the SEC filed a joint motion on Thursday to release $125 million in funds held in an escrow account to pay for settlement costs ordered by the court.

According to the letter submitted by both parties, $50 million will be transferred to the SEC for the civil penalty against Ripple, with the remaining $75 million transferred back to Ripple, pending court approval. The filing attorneys wrote:

"The parties’ proposed resolution will preserve the resources of the Second Circuit by avoiding the need to decide appeals, obviate any remand for further proceedings in this Court, and bring 4.5 years of hard-fought litigation to an end."

SEC and Ripple Wind Down Case Following 2024 Ruling

In July 2023, Judge Analisa Torres ruled that secondary sales of the XRP (XRP) token are not securities, granting Ripple and the crypto industry a partial yet major victory.

However, the Judge also ruled that selling XRP to investors during funding rounds did constitute securities sales, due to how the tokens were offered as compensation for investment in a business enterprise.

As a result, Ripple was ordered to pay a $125 million penalty to the SEC as per a subsequent ruling from Judge Torres in August 2024.

Unsatisfied with the outcome, the SEC filed an appeal in October 2024 — roughly one month ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, announced that the SEC was dropping the appeal, in a March 19 X post, accompanied by a video statement from the CEO celebrating the outcome as the de facto “ending” of the case.

Shortly after the announcement, Ripple agreed to drop its cross-appeal with the SEC. The crypto firm also secured a refund from a lower court, allowing it to retain $75 million of the $125 million penalty stipulated in the August 2024 ruling.

BRICS & De-dollarization: US Dollar Faces Severe Crisis as Allies Exit

The BRICS de-dollarization efforts have catalyzed various major transformations as member nations—and others—implement strategic measures to reduce dollar dependency in international trade.

Through several key approaches, the economic bloc has spearheaded what experts describe as a severe US dollar crisis via local currency agreements and alternative payment systems.

Across multiple significant areas, this global trade shift has become the most substantial challenge to American financial dominance. The BRICS currency alternative is gaining momentum through bilateral agreements.

The use of the US dollar in trade among BRICS countries has been reduced to approximately one-third of its previous level, and the de-dollarization impact now extends beyond economics, as nations seek greater financial sovereignty and independence.

BRICS Push New Currency as Dollar Loses Trust in Global Trade Shift

Bilateral Currency Agreements Accelerate BRICS De-dollarization

Through numerous developments, BRICS de-dollarization initiatives have reshaped global trade via direct bilateral currency agreements.

• Russia and China have led the way, with over one-third of Russian trade conducted in Chinese yuan by the end of 2024. The share of ruble-based exports rose from 10% to over 40% during the first year of the Ukraine conflict, highlighting how geopolitical pressure can hasten these shifts.

• Brazil has also advanced this agenda. At the 2023 business forum in Beijing, China and Brazil established direct exchanges between the Brazilian real and the yuan. Brazilian banks now use China’s cross-border payment system, making yuan transactions simpler and more efficient.

• India and the UAE entered an agreement to trade in Indian rupees, including a major deal where India purchased one million barrels of oil and paid in rupees. This deal occurred days before the UAE’s BRICS invitation, signaling widespread interest in dollar alternatives.

• Tanzania’s ban on the US dollar helped pave the way for neighboring countries like Kenya and other East African Community nations to explore similar paths.

BRICS Pay System Challenges Western Financial Infrastructure

BRICS nations have developed BRICS Pay, a decentralized payment messaging system that allows transactions in local currencies, aiming to reduce dependence on Western systems like SWIFT. This is a technological breakthrough in the bloc’s de-dollarization effort and a direct challenge to US financial dominance.

The New Development Bank (NDB) plays a crucial role in this transformation. With an authorized capital of $100 billion, the NDB has financed infrastructure projects in local currencies, reinforcing financial sovereignty and weakening traditional Western institutions.

In Brazil, the NDB has financed BRL 1,041 million (RMB 1,425 million) to expand power distribution infrastructure.

• In Russia, the NDB provided $68.8 million for the Ufa East Exit Project.

These investments show how de-dollarization is evolving from policy into tangible infrastructure and economic development.

Realized Cap: XRP Overtakes Solana

While attention focuses on upcoming regulations and ETFs in the making, a less-publicized technical indicator is reshuffling the deck. XRP has recorded a fourfold increase in its realized capitalization compared to Solana.

This capital shift hints at a deeper and unexpected market dynamic, challenging the current wave of enthusiasm around Solana. Behind this metric, a change in investor perception appears to be unfolding—returning XRP to a central role in the altcoin arena.

▪️ XRP shows a +4.2% increase in realized capitalization vs. +1% for Solana over the past 30 days
▪️ The difference suggests a rapid capital rotation toward XRP, signaling short-term renewed investor confidence
▪️ Webus International, VivoPower, and Wellgistics have committed over $470 million to XRP treasury strategies
▪️ XRP is aligning with institutional standards, while Solana enters a consolidation phase

The Indicator Reshaping the Map: XRP Leads Solana

While ETFs may eventually push both XRP and Solana to new highs, Ripple’s token has already surged ahead in terms of realized capitalization—a key on-chain metric. According to Glassnode, XRP is up +4.2% in 30 days, while Solana has risen just +1%.

This clear differential shows accelerated fund inflows into XRP, suggesting traders and investors are showing short-term renewed conviction in the asset.

In contrast, Solana’s slower pace comes despite being a focal point in ETF discussions. This divergence implies that real capital flows are favoring XRP, which may not yet be reflected in market buzz.

Understanding Realized Capitalization

To grasp the importance of this evolution, it’s essential to understand the metric itself:

▪️ Realized capitalization represents the aggregated value of tokens based on their last transaction price—a more accurate reflection of “activated wealth”
▪️ XRP: +4.2% increase signals not just speculation, but committed capital inflows
▪️ Solana: +1% suggests a consolidation phase or waning buyer momentum
▪️ The direct read: investors may be shifting into XRP for yield, stability, or tactical repositioning

In fast-moving markets where technical indicators carry weight, this shift in realized cap could mark the early stages of a broader trend.

Institutional Adoption & Legal Clarity Boost XRP

A major driver behind XRP’s momentum may be institutional engagement:

• Webus International ($300M)

• VivoPower ($121M)

• Wellgistics ($50M)
  Together, these firms have committed over $470 million to XRP treasury strategies.

Additionally, Trident, a Nasdaq-listed company in Singapore, is planning to raise $500 million, also focused on XRP.

These moves come amid a dramatically improved legal climate for Ripple. The SEC and Ripple recently filed a joint motion to dissolve an injunction and cancel a $125 million penalty, signaling potential resolution of long-standing regulatory hurdles.

Unlike Solana, which relies on its developer ecosystem and ETF hype, XRP is increasingly viewed as an operational treasury asset—bridging traditional finance and crypto.

From Speculative Token to Strategic Reserve

By combining:

• Rising technical indicators

• Institutional capital allocation

• Legal resolution with the SEC

XRP appears to be undergoing a strategic transformation—from a speculative token to a practical institutional-grade reserve asset.

If sustained, this shift could mark a lasting turning point in XRP’s role within the global financial system, far beyond temporary price movement.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

SEC Axes Biden-Era Proposed Crypto Rules in Flurry of Repeals

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has rescinded a wide slate of proposed rules introduced under the Biden Administration, including two that directly targeted crypto custody and DeFi protocols.

In a move reflecting President Donald Trump’s regulatory rollback agenda, the SEC said on Thursday that it is officially withdrawing several notices of proposed rulemaking issued between March 2022 and November 2023, during former Chair Gary Gensler’s tenure.

The agency emphasized that it “does not intend to issue final rules with respect to these proposals,” but left the door open to propose new rules in future regulatory actions if deemed necessary.

“Down goes 3b16, qualified custodian, and all the other unfinished Gensler rule proposals,”
— Paul Grewal, Coinbase Chief Legal Officer

Exchange Definition Rule Nullified

Among the 14 rules withdrawn, a key proposal was Rule 3b-16, which aimed to expand the definition of “exchange” to include decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. The amendment also intended to tighten crypto custody standards for investment advisers.

The rule sought to include in the definition of “exchange” systems that offer non-firm trading interest and communication protocols to connect buyers and sellers of securities. If implemented, this could have classified many DeFi platforms as securities exchanges, subjecting them to federal oversight.

First introduced in March 2022, the proposal drew strong criticism. In March 2025, SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda recommended abandoning the rule, which attempted to fold crypto firms into the “alternative trading system” classification.

Crypto Custody Rule Rescinded

Another major repeal was the SEC’s Safeguarding Advisory Client Assets rule, first proposed in March 2023, which would have expanded custody requirements for crypto assets.

The rule proposed expanding the Custody Rule under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 to cover all client assets, including digital assets. It mandated that all such assets be held with a “qualified custodian”—typically meaning a regulated bank or broker-dealer.

This posed a serious threat to the crypto sector, as most crypto exchanges and wallet providers did not qualify as “qualified custodians.” Investment advisers would have been forced to either change providers or exit the crypto space altogether.

Commissioner Uyeda had previously asked SEC staff to consider withdrawing the crypto custody proposal, which has now been officially rescinded.

Other Rules Rescinded

In addition to the high-profile crypto rules, the SEC also repealed several non-crypto rules with indirect implications for the digital asset industry, including:

• Cybersecurity risk management and reporting rules for investment advisers and funds—important for crypto fund managers and custodians.

• A rule on position reporting for large security-based swaps, which could have affected firms with large crypto derivatives exposure.

• A rule requiring enhanced ESG (environmental, social, and governance) reporting for public companies—widely criticized by conservative policymakers.

These repeals mark a major shift in the regulatory tone coming from Washington, aligning with the Trump Administration’s broader commitment to deregulation in financial and crypto markets.

US Senate Schedules Final GENIUS Stablecoin Bill Vote for June 17

The U.S. Senate is scheduled to cast its final vote on the GENIUS Act next Tuesday, a key legislative move that could shape the future of stablecoin regulation in the United States.

According to an official notice posted on Thursday by Senate Democrats, the final vote on the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act) will take place on June 17, with the exact time to be determined by the Majority Leader in consultation with the Democratic Leader.

If passed, the bill will then proceed to the House of Representatives for further voting. The GENIUS Act seeks to establish a comprehensive legal framework for stablecoins and their issuers within the U.S. financial system.

Key Provisions of the GENIUS Act:

• Requires stablecoins to be fully backed by U.S. dollars or other liquid assets.

• Imposes mandatory annual audits for issuers managing over $50 billion in market capitalization.

• Introduces compliance requirements for foreign-based issuers operating within U.S. markets.

The Senate's procedural vote on Wednesday cleared the way for the upcoming final decision, which comes amid growing bipartisan interest in regulating the digital asset space.

If passed in the Senate, the GENIUS Act will move to the House, where lawmakers have introduced their own bill—the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy Act (STABLE Act). This bill was advanced out of committee in May but differs from the GENIUS Act in critical areas, including jurisdictional control (state vs. federal) and oversight of foreign issuers like Tether.

Despite these differences, momentum is building. Stablecoin legislation has gained strong backing from President Donald Trump, who has publicly endorsed the GENIUS Act and expressed hopes for final passage by August.

Adding to the push, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated earlier this week that stablecoin legislation could set the stage for massive market expansion. He forecasted that the USD stablecoin market could exceed $2 trillion by the end of 2028, a significant leap from its current size of $252 billion, according to CoinGecko.

The upcoming vote on June 17 is seen as a pivotal moment that could establish the United States as a leader in global stablecoin regulation while providing much-needed clarity and security to issuers, investors, and the broader financial sector.

BRICS: 71 Countries Settled Trade Without the US Dollar  

The BRICS alliance is making significant strides in its de-dollarization strategy, actively sidelining the U.S. dollar in favor of local currencies for international trade. This movement is gaining traction worldwide, with countries like Nigeria and Iraq now banning the use of the USD in foreign exchange markets and oil settlements.

If BRICS unveils a transformative plan at its upcoming summit in Rio de Janeiro, the U.S. dollar’s long-standing global dominance could face serious pressure. As momentum grows, the question is no longer “if” the dollar will lose its stronghold, but “when.”

71 Countries Had Settled Trade Before BRICS Started De-Dollarization

A total of 71 countries had already moved away from using the U.S. dollar for trade settlements before BRICS formally launched its de-dollarization agenda. Recent data shows that these efforts include:

• Settling trade in local currencies

• Diversifying foreign currency reserves

• Reducing reliance on U.S. foreign exchange

• Conducting oil and commodity payments in non-USD terms

The earliest recorded shift came in 2011, when China — a founding BRICS member — began favoring the gold-backed yuan over the U.S. dollar in its oil purchases. That initial move sparked a gradual and calculated transition to alternative currencies in trade deals throughout the following years.

BRICS Drives the Agenda — With Global Participation

These dollar-free transactions span a wide range of nations across Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Both allies and adversaries of the U.S. have participated, leaving Washington increasingly isolated on the world financial stage.

While this global trend began well before 2022, BRICS greatly accelerated its commitment to de-dollarization following sweeping U.S. sanctions on Russia in the wake of the Ukraine invasion.

July Summit Could Mark a Turning Point

The upcoming 17th BRICS Summit, scheduled for July 6–7 in Brazil, could bring the dollar’s future under the global spotlight. Many developing countries are pushing back against Western financial dominance and seeking to chart their own paths toward financial independence.

If the BRICS bloc unveils a new framework for trade and reserves — one that cuts out the dollar entirely — a fundamental shift in global finance could be underway.

As BRICS continues to gain influence, the next decade may usher in a multipolar currency system, diminishing U.S. leverage and expanding financial sovereignty for dozens of emerging economies.

GENIUS Stablecoin Bill Passes Key Vote, Advances in US Senate

Weeks after a stablecoin bill stalled over Trump-linked concerns, the Senate has advanced the GENIUS Act — a major step in shaping digital asset regulation in the United States.

In a 68-30 vote, the U.S. Senate voted to advance the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins, or GENIUS Act, more than a month after its introduction.

Speaking from the Senate floor on Wednesday, Majority Leader John Thune urged lawmakers to back the bill, echoing many of former President Donald Trump’s talking points on digital assets — including claims that the legislation would help position the U.S. as the “crypto capital of the world.”

“We want to bring cryptocurrency into the mainstream, and the GENIUS Act will help us do that,” said Thune.

A majority of senators — including several Democrats — voted to invoke cloture, setting up the bill for debate and a full floor vote, before potentially sending it to the House of Representatives for further consideration.

Thune acknowledged that there is still “more work to be done” in Congress regarding digital assets, referencing a separate market structure bill in the House: the CLARITY Act, which was recently advanced by two committees and may face a floor vote soon.

Pushback From Democrats

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren voiced sharp criticism, calling the bill “riddled with loopholes” and warning it lacked adequate safeguards for consumers, national security, and financial stability.

“Through his crypto business, Trump has created an efficient means to trade presidential favors like tariff exemptions, pardons, and government appointments for hundreds of millions, perhaps billions of dollars,” Warren said.
“By passing the GENIUS Act, the Senate is not only about to bless this corruption, but to actively facilitate its expansion.”

Warren also condemned the Senate for not addressing bipartisan amendments and cited ongoing concerns about Trump’s family-linked crypto platform, World Liberty Financial, which rewards memecoin holders with perks such as dinner and access to the president.

Path to Becoming Law

Though many Democrats supported the cloture motion, some are still pressing Republicans for further amendments. It remains uncertain whether the bill will clear the Senate, where Republicans hold only a slim majority.

Following the initial cloture failure in May, David Sacks, Trump’s so-called “AI and crypto czar,” stated that the White House expected bipartisan Senate approval. Meanwhile, the House companion bill — the STABLE Act — was still under consideration by the Financial Services Committee as of May.

BRICS: The Global Bombshell That Shifts Power Away From the West

The BRICS power shift has catalyzed a critical turning point, as the expanded alliance now includes Saudi Arabia, Iran, UAE, Egypt, and Ethiopia as full members. The bloc has revolutionized global energy control, now commanding over 40% of global oil production, and has surpassed the G7 in purchasing power parity GDP.

Major economic indicators from 2025 reveal that BRICS countries settled over $400 billion in trade without US dollars last year alone, accelerating the move away from traditional currency systems. This shift has helped pioneer an alternative global economic system that strategically bypasses Western financial infrastructure.

How BRICS Power, Oil, and Currency Are Reshaping the Global Map

Energy Dominance Shifts Global Control

BRICS now oversees more than 40% of global oil production, thanks to the inclusion of Saudi Arabia and Iran, whose massive reserves have been pulled under the bloc’s umbrella. Russia contributes significantly to natural gas supply, bolstering BRICS' energy dominance. This alliance was no accident—it was strategically architected through several development phases.

In 2024, Russia began settling LNG trades with India in rupees, and Iran optimized an expansive barter system with China. Meanwhile, Qatar has expressed interest in a “BRICS energy coordination mechanism” that could further transform the global energy landscape.

“Trump’s erratic trade policy decisions and the dollar’s sharp depreciation are probably encouraging a more rapid shift towards other currencies.” — Francesco Pesole, ING

Currency Revolution Accelerates Global Changes

The de-dollarization trend has led BRICS to construct a sweeping network of alternative financial pathways. China and Brazil are now settling bilateral trade in yuan, while India and Russia use a rupee-ruble payment mechanism. Saudi Arabia’s decision to accept yuan for oil sales to China marks one of the most historic developments in global finance.

BRICS has also spearheaded the creation of alternative payment systems that bypass SWIFT. As a result, the U.S. dollar’s share in global reserves dropped to 57.8% in 2024—a substantial decline with far-reaching consequences.

“Countries are looking at the fact that the dollar has been, and can be used as a sort of weapon on trade, direct sanctions, etc… That’s been the real change, I think, in the last several months.” — Mitul Kotecha, Barclays

Economic Realignment Outpaces Western Response

The shift in global economic power between BRICS and the G7 has accelerated faster than most analysts predicted. Bank of America research shows that institutional capital is actively moving away from dollar dependency, and more than 40 countries have submitted membership applications to BRICS.

This expansion is not just economic—it is about sovereignty. BRICS members can now trade freely across major jurisdictions without external approvals. Countries like Nigeria, Thailand, Pakistan, and Venezuela are actively seeking to join the bloc, creating a global network spanning four continents.

“De-dollarization in ASEAN is likely to pick up pace, primarily via conversion of FX deposits accumulated since 2022.”
— Abhay Gupta, Bank of America

“There’s notable FX hedging activity; Japanese life insurers raised their hedge ratio from 44% to 48% in recent months.”
— Craig Chan, Nomura Securities

What began as a five-nation group has evolved into an economic superpower that dominates essential energy supplies and facilitates hundreds of billions in non-dollar trade. Though the U.S. dollar still holds a dominant share of global reserves, its role as the default trade currency is quickly eroding.

The BRICS power shift represents a systematic circumvention of Western financial dominance—not through confrontation, but through construction of an entirely new infrastructure.

Fed's 'Shady' Gold Secrets Spark Audit Bill; A 'Reckoning is Near'

Fed's 'Shady' Gold Secrets Spark Audit Bill; A 'Reckoning is Near'

Daniela Cambone:  6-11-2025

“The gold might be there—but who owns it? That’s the real question,” asks Jp Cortez of the Sound Money Defense League.

In today’s interview with Daniela Cambone, Cortez calls for a comprehensive audit of U.S. gold holdings, highlighting the recent reintroduction of the Gold Reserve Transparency Act of 2025 by Rep. Thomas Massie.

“An ounce of gold can change hands a thousand times without moving a single inch,” Cortez explains.

 With Florida recently eliminating its sales tax on gold and silver, and more than 40 other U.S. states partially or fully exempting sales tax on these metals, Cortez views this growing trend of tax exemption as a reaffirmation of “the constitutional role of gold and silver as real, tangible money in our modern economy.”
