Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Ripple Unveils Urgent 4-Point Plan to Ignite UK Crypto Revolution

Ripple has issued a powerful call to action aimed at positioning the United Kingdom as a global leader in crypto innovation, unveiling a four-point regulatory strategy designed to unlock investment, expand financial access, and accelerate blockchain-driven modernization.

New Recommendations Set Stage for UK’s Explosive Crypto Power Shift

On June 18, Ripple convened key stakeholders at the London Policy Summit, co-hosted with the UK Centre for Blockchain Technology and Innovate Finance, to assess the UK’s fast-evolving digital asset policy landscape.

The summit spotlighted recent UK government initiatives, including:

  • Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ April address supporting digital finance.

  • HM Treasury’s draft legislation on crypto-assets.

  • FCA consultations covering stablecoins, custody rules, and prudential oversight.

  • Launch of the Digital Securities Sandbox and pilot for a digital UK government bond (DIGIT).

Ripple used the summit to deliver a sharp message: Now is the time to act—boldly and fast.

Ripple’s 4-Point Plan for UK Crypto Leadership

In a whitepaper released after the summit, Ripple laid out four key regulatory priorities critical to the UK’s ascent in the digital economy:

1. Accelerate Regulatory Framework Finalization

“The government and regulators must act at pace to develop a crypto-asset regulatory framework that drives investment and growth.”
Ripple emphasized that early movers in crypto regulation will reap long-term rewards in global competitiveness and capital inflows.

2. Ensure Global Standards Alignment

Ripple urged the UK to harmonize its rules with international frameworks, helping firms avoid conflicting obligations and maintain global interoperability.

3. Advance Stablecoin Regulation

Ripple pushed for the swift regulation of stablecoins, including legal pathways to allow overseas-issued stablecoins to circulate in the UK without local issuance requirements—a move that would increase liquidity and stimulate market innovation.

4. Remove Legal, Regulatory, and Tax Barriers

To solidify leadership in tokenization, Ripple proposed an integrated approach to overcome legacy barriers that hinder the tokenization of traditional assets like bonds and equities.

“The opportunity for the UK is huge. If the regulatory framework is designed correctly, it can facilitate innovation, enhance financial inclusion, and solidify the UK’s position as a competitive global financial centre.”
— Ripple

A Strategic Moment for UK Finance

Ripple underscored the transformative role of blockchain in modernizing payments, increasing transparency, and broadening access to financial services. With over 90% of major financial institutions engaged in crypto by 2024, the stakes for leadership are rising fast.

Summit participants echoed a growing consensus:

Rapid regulatory clarity is no longer optional—it’s essential to unlocking crypto’s full potential and ensuring the UK remains at the forefront of global finance.

South Korea’s Central Bank Open to Stablecoin Amid Cautious Forex Outlook

South Korea may soon join the growing list of nations backing fiat-pegged stablecoins. The Governor of the Bank of Korea signaled openness to the issuance of a won-based stablecoin, though he voiced concerns over its foreign exchange impact, particularly in relation to dollar-backed tokens.

Cautious Approval from the Central Bank

At a press conference covered by ReutersBank of Korea Governor Rhee Chang-yong stated that while he does not oppose the creation of a won-pegged stablecoin, there are critical risks tied to its adoption:

“Issuing won-based stablecoin could make it easier to exchange them with dollar stablecoin rather than working to reduce use of dollar stablecoin.”

Rhee warned this could inadvertently increase demand for dollar stablecoins and complicate forex management, undermining efforts to strengthen South Korea’s own currency reserves and monetary autonomy.

Shrinking Forex Reserves Add Pressure

The concern comes amid declining national reserves.

  • At the end of December 2024, South Korea held $415.6 billion in forex reserves.

  • By May 2025, that figure dropped to $404.6 billion—a $11 billion decrease in just six months.

This underscores the urgency in crafting a stablecoin policy that enhances domestic financial resilience without unintentionally driving capital back into U.S.-dollar-based instruments.

Democratic Party Pushes Pro-Stablecoin Legislation

Newly elected President Lee Jae-myung is advancing crypto reform as part of his campaign promises. On June 10, his Democratic Party introduced the Digital Asset Basic Act, a legislative proposal that would:

  • Allow companies with at least $368,000 in equity capital to issue stablecoins.

  • Require issuers to maintain sufficient reserves for redemptions.

  • Mandate approval from the Financial Services Commission (FSC) prior to issuance.

This move aims to foster innovation, reduce U.S. dollar reliance, and offer a regulatory pathway for local stablecoin ecosystems to thrive.

Regulators Scrutinize Exchanges and Fees

South Korea’s FSC is currently probing local exchanges over the transaction fees they charge, aligning with President Lee’s pledge to lower trading costs for retail investors, especially younger users.

The regulatory scrutiny marks a shift toward a more competitive and transparent crypto exchange landscape, which could boost local investor confidence.

The Global Stablecoin Landscape Is Evolving

While U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins still dominate, with Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USDC leading at $156 billion and $61 billion respectively, non-USD options are starting to gain traction.

Circle’s euro-pegged EURC saw a 156% market cap increase since the start of 2025, now totaling $203 million. Momentum grew further after U.S. lawmakers backed the GENIUS Act, a key stablecoin regulatory bill, sending Circle’s stock sharply higher.

South Korea Eyes Its Own Path

As global stablecoin competition intensifies, South Korea’s measured but open stance on a won-based stablecoin could position the nation as a regional leader in digital finance, provided it carefully balances innovation with macroeconomic stability.

The next steps will likely involve regulatory fine-tuningmarket feedback, and possible pilot programs to test the feasibility of stablecoin circulation under central bank oversight.

Crypto ETF Approval Odds Surge to “90% or Higher,” Say Bloomberg Analysts

The approval of a broad array of U.S. crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is now considered “almost certain,” according to top Bloomberg analysts. In a major shift in regulatory tone, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) appears increasingly willing to approve spot ETFs for altcoins like XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano, signaling expanding institutional access to digital assets.

Bloomberg: ETF Approval Odds at 90% or Higher

Analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas raised their estimated approval odds to “90% or higher” on Friday, citing “very positive” engagement from the SEC in recent weeks.

“The tone and feedback from the SEC has shifted meaningfully,”
Seyffart said in a post on social media, emphasizing that this new posture marks a clear pro-crypto pivot at the regulatory agency.

One key reason for the rising optimism: The SEC appears to categorize many major cryptocurrencies — including XRP, Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA) — as commodities, not securities. This classification would place them largely outside of the SEC’s strictest enforcement scope, removing one of the biggest regulatory roadblocks.

Timeline Unclear, But Momentum Is Building

While approvals now seem likely, Seyffart cautioned that actual product launches may still take several months, potentially extending past October. The agency must still finalize reviews and respond to public comments on a number of ETF proposals — including XRP and SOL ETF filings by Franklin Templeton.

Bitcoin ETF Success Fuels Altcoin Hopes

The surge in altcoin ETF interest follows the historic success of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have shattered records. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recently surpassed $70 billion in assets after just 341 days — making it the most successful ETF launch in U.S. history.

“There’s an arms race to replicate the Bitcoin ETF’s success,”
said Balchunas, pointing to strong demand for crypto exposure among institutional and retail investors alike.

However, not all crypto ETFs have performed equally. Ether ETFs, launched in July, have seen mixed reception, with Glassnode reporting in May that average ETH ETF investors were still “substantially underwater.”

Altcoins Rising, But Bitcoin Remains Dominant

While interest in altcoin ETFs is surging, analysts don’t expect any product to eclipse Bitcoin’s dominance in the near term. Still, the entry of top-tier asset managers like Franklin Templeton and the SEC’s willingness to open comment periods marks a turning point in mainstream crypto adoption.

With market watchers tracking every signal from Washington, these ETF developments could define the next chapter of crypto-finance integration in the United States.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BRICS vs NATO: Who Holds More Power in 2025—Military, Economic, and Strategic Influence Compared

The BRICS vs NATO rivalry has become the defining geopolitical fault line of 2025. While NATO leads in global military coordinationBRICS commands accelerating economic momentum and demographic dominance—reshaping the global power structure into an increasingly multipolar world.

BRICS vs NATO: Who Holds More Power in 2025—Military, Economic, and Strategic Influence Compared

The BRICS vs NATO rivalry has become the defining geopolitical fault line of 2025. While NATO leads in global military coordinationBRICS commands accelerating economic momentum and demographic dominance—reshaping the global power structure into an increasingly multipolar world.

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

Military Power: NATO Dominates in Coordination and Budget, BRICS in Nuclear Arsenal

Defense Spending and Strategic Alignment
NATO commands unmatched military spending, led by the U.S., which contributed $877 billion to NATO’s total $1.3 trillion defense budget in 2024—over half of global military expenditures.

By contrast, BRICS nations collectively spent around $350 billion, with China contributing $225 billion and India significantly investing in regional and technological defense initiatives.

However, BRICS lacks unified military coordination, unlike NATO's Article 5 collective defense framework, which tightly integrates its 32 member states under a single strategic command.

Nuclear Capabilities
NATO maintains around 5,500 nuclear warheads, but BRICS—largely due to Russia—surpasses that with 6,360 warheads. While NATO leads in advanced military infrastructure, BRICS holds a quantitative edge in nuclear firepower, underscoring a more fragmented yet potent deterrence force.

Economic Power: BRICS Surpasses NATO in GDP and Trade Growth

GDP and Growth Trajectory
BRICS has surged ahead with a combined GDP of over $60 trillion in 2024, outpacing NATO’s $40 trillionChina ($18 trillion) and newcomers like Saudi Arabia and the UAE have significantly boosted the bloc’s global economic weight.

Growth rates underscore this shift:

  • BRICS: 4%+ annual GDP growth

  • NATO: 1–2.5% growth

Trade and Currency De-Dollarization
BRICS now accounts for 25% of global exports, driven by rising intra-bloc trade and new trade initiatives using local currencies—notably the Chinese Yuan and Indian Rupee—which challenge the US dollar’s global dominance.

Population and Global Influence: BRICS Leverages Demographics, NATO Holds Institutional Power

Demographics
BRICS nations represent 3.5 billion people, nearly 45% of the world’s population, compared to NATO’s 950 million. This massive demographic advantage drives consumer markets and economic scale, especially through India’s growing population and urbanization.

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

Institutional Control vs. Multipolar Reforms
NATO members retain disproportionate sway over global institutions such as:

  • UN Security Council (permanent seats)

  • IMF (voting power)

  • World Bank (leadership roles)

However, BRICS is building alternative institutions like the New Development Bank (NDB) to challenge Western-led governance and promote multipolar frameworks, particularly in the Global South.

Future Trajectory: Two Pillars of Global Power

The NATO vs BRICS rivalry highlights two divergent yet increasingly complementary power centers:

  • NATO continues to lead in military strength, technology, and alliance integration, shaping global security architecture.

  • BRICS, propelled by economic momentum, population size, and alternative financial systems, is redefining global economic leadership.

Both blocs now represent dual axes of power—military and economic—that are not merely competitive, but also structurally embedded in the emerging multipolar order.

Death, Divorce, and Lost Keys: The Unspoken Crisis in Tokenized Property Succession

As tokenization reshapes real estate ownership around the world, a fundamental legal and technical issue is emerging that could undermine this revolution: inheritance.

The Hidden Threat to Blockchain Real Estate: Succession

Blockchain’s promise of democratized access to real-world assets (RWAs) is being widely embraced, with forecasts projecting $4 trillion in tokenized real estate by 2035. Yet this expansion is quietly jeopardized by an overlooked question:

Death, Divorce, and Lost Keys: The Unspoken Crisis in Tokenized Property Succession

As tokenization reshapes real estate ownership around the world, a fundamental legal and technical issue is emerging that could undermine this revolution: inheritance.

The Hidden Threat to Blockchain Real Estate: Succession

Blockchain’s promise of democratized access to real-world assets (RWAs) is being widely embraced, with forecasts projecting $4 trillion in tokenized real estate by 2035. Yet this expansion is quietly jeopardized by an overlooked question:

What happens to tokenized assets when the owner dies?

From crypto-backed home loans to multi-billion-dollar tokenization deals, real estate on-chain is no longer speculative — it’s operational. Dubai’s first tokenized real estate launch in the MENA region and other global milestones signal the sector’s momentum. But amid the hype, succession protocols are missing, exposing a foundational vulnerability.

Current Gaps and Consequences

Inheritance is a cornerstone of traditional property law — but this logic hasn’t been translated to blockchain.

Today, if a keyholder dies without planning, heirs may face:

  • Complete loss of assets due to lost or inaccessible private keys

  • Jurisdictional ambiguities that prolong or block transfer of ownership

  • Manual and insecure workarounds that undermine decentralization

Cold wallets and handwritten key storage are often promoted as solutions, but these approaches don’t scale, and offer no guarantees in edge cases like accidents, divorce, or disputes.

Why a Native Inheritance Layer Is Critical

The absence of standardized, legally recognized and blockchain-native inheritance tools presents a fast-growing risk.

While regulatory frameworks like the EU’s MiCA focus on investor protections and compliance, succession planning remains largely ignored. Without it, high-value tokenized properties are left in limbo — or lost altogether — upon the death or incapacitation of the owner.

Possible Solutions: A Blueprint for Decentralized Succession

To protect generational wealth on-chain, developers and regulators must prioritize native inheritance mechanisms. One proposal is a Decentralized Data Survivability Protocol (DeDasP) — a layered infrastructure using:

  • Smart contracts to trigger asset transfer based on predefined conditions

  • Sharded private keys distributed as NFTs to multiple heirs, unlockable via multisig logic

  • Biometric authentication to secure heir access and prevent loss due to forgotten credentials

Such a system would bring clarity, automation, and resilience to succession planning — aligning with Web3’s values of permanence and decentralization.

Beyond Technology: Legal and Social Implications

Inheritance is not just a technical problem. It’s a legal and moral necessity in the transfer of wealth. Without a secure way to pass down digital real estate, the promise of accessible, inclusive property investment risks collapse.

"People shouldn’t lose their tokenized property because of poor planning, legal gray areas or forgotten passwords."

Tokenized property must not only be accessible — it must be inheritable.

Looking Ahead: A Generational Imperative

As the tokenization of real estate accelerates, the infrastructure for asset succession must evolve in parallel. The next frontier is not just who can buy tokenized assets — it’s who can inherit them.

By embracing emerging tools like biometrics, NFTs, smart contracts, and decentralized key management, the blockchain industry can build robust, automated systems to ensure digital assets survive their owners — and serve generations to come.

Arizona Senate Revives Bill to Create Reserve Fund from Seized Crypto

In a renewed legislative push, Arizona’s Senate has revived House Bill 2324 (HB 2324), a proposal to establish a state-managed reserve fund for seized cryptocurrency assets. After initially failing in the House last month, the bill passed the Senate on Thursday by a narrow 16–14 margin, signaling renewed momentum in the state’s efforts to regulate and harness crypto-derived funds.

Key Highlights:

▪️ HB 2324 passed the Senate 16–14, moving the bill back to the House for further review.
▪️ The bill seeks to create a state-run Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund using crypto seized via criminal asset forfeiture.
▪️ The proposal had previously failed a final House vote in May, but was reintroduced with amendments.
▪️ The legislation outlines how proceeds from forfeited crypto assets would be allocated, with an initial $300,000 going to anti-racketeering efforts.
▪️ Arizona continues to advance multiple crypto-related bills alongside HB 2749, which addresses unclaimed digital assets.

A Framework for Managing Seized Crypto

If enacted, HB 2324 would empower Arizona’s State Treasurer to manage seized digital assets and invest them through crypto assets or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This represents a significant step toward institutionalizing crypto within state financial infrastructure.

The legislation would also authorize the Treasurer to invest, reinvest, or divest crypto assets, effectively turning forfeited funds into a managed pool for state benefit.

The fund would be known as the Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund, establishing an official state reserve of cryptocurrency holdings.

Detailed Revenue Allocation Plan

The bill specifies a tiered distribution of funds from the sale of forfeited crypto:

  • First $300,000 → Anti-Racketeering Revolving Fund

  • Remaining balance (if above $300,000):

    • 50% → Anti-Racketeering Revolving Fund

    • 25% → Arizona General Fund

    • 25% → Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund

This approach aims to reinvest criminal proceeds into public benefit while giving Arizona a strategic crypto reserve.

Secure Custody Requirements for Digital Assets

To prevent mishandling or loss, HB 2324 includes mandates for secure custody of seized assets, including:

  • Obtaining private keys or passphrases

  • Securing digital wallets

  • Transferring assets to state-approved digital wallets or platforms

These safeguards reflect growing concern over digital asset security in government custody.

Arizona’s Broader Crypto Legislative Landscape

This bill joins a broader suite of crypto-related legislative efforts in Arizona:

  • HB 2749, passed last month, covers unclaimed crypto presumed abandoned.

  • Several other pending bills focus on crypto kiosks, payment solutions, and security infrastructure.

Arizona’s push reflects a trend seen nationwide: state-level crypto regulation picking up where federal efforts lag.

National Context: GENIUS Stablecoin Bill Gains Momentum

Arizona’s developments come as the U.S. Senate passed the GENIUS stablecoin bill this week, moving it to the House. Former President Donald Trump urged its swift passage, calling it critical for America to become the “undisputed leader” in the global crypto space.

Arizona’s HB 2324 marks a turning point in how states might begin monetizing and managing crypto from criminal seizures, transforming it from contraband into a strategic fiscal asset.

China Grants 53 Countries Tariff-Free Access to BRICS Market

In a bold move to reshape global trade dynamics, BRICS member China is extending tariff-free market access to 53 African nations, creating a new economic bridge between Asia and Africa. The deal is part of a growing initiative to strengthen South-South cooperation and shift global influence away from Western-dominated systems.

China Grants 53 Countries Tariff-Free Access to BRICS Market

In a bold move to reshape global trade dynamics, BRICS member China is extending tariff-free market access to 53 African nations, creating a new economic bridge between Asia and Africa. The deal is part of a growing initiative to strengthen South-South cooperation and shift global influence away from Western-dominated systems.

Key Developments:

▪️ China to eliminate all tariffs on imports from 53 African countries, primarily least developed countries (LDCs).
▪️ The initiative opens duty-free access to the Chinese market, boosting African exports and economic growth.
▪️ African middle-income economies like Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, and Morocco are also eligible for special access.
▪️ $50 billion in infrastructure investments pledged by China to Africa over the next three years.
▪️ The deal comes amid global dissatisfaction with U.S. policies, as China positions itself as a new global partner.

Africa’s Economic Gateway to China

China’s Foreign Ministry confirmed that the door is open for quality African products to enter the Chinese market under this new framework. The deal is expected to bolster trade, agriculture, and resource development across the African continent.

“China is ready to welcome quality products from Africa to the Chinese market,” said the Foreign Ministry, signaling an open invitation for expanded commerce.

This tariff-free structure incentivizes African nations to rework domestic trade policies that align with BRICS’ emerging global vision. Countries like South Africa, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Nigeria—already linked to BRICS as full or partner members—stand to gain significantly.

A Strategic Shift in Global Alliances

The initiative is not just economic—it’s geopolitical. As U.S. global influence faces criticism, China is using this moment to expand BRICS’ reach. A recent Pew Research Center report shows that 66% of countries lack confidence in Trump-era foreign policies, while only 24 nations express trust in his international leadership.

China, in contrast, is aggressively courting emerging economies through infrastructure development, trade, and policy cooperation.

BRICS and the African Development Agenda

At last year’s BRICS summit, China committed $50 billion to support infrastructure projects across Africa, including ports, railways, and energy development. The funding complements the tariff-free access deal and is already shaping policy decisions across the continent.

“It enables middle-income countries like Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, and Morocco to now enter the Chinese market duty-free,” noted Hannah Ryder, founder of Africa-focused consultancy Development Reimagined.

Criticism and Strategic Caution

While the deal is being hailed as a game-changer for African economies, critics argue that the balance of power heavily favors China. Some analysts warn that while investments flow in, African sovereignty and long-term gains may be at risk if policies are not carefully negotiated.

Nonetheless, this policy shift further consolidates BRICS’ position as a rising alternative to traditional Western institutions—and Africa is becoming a central battleground in that transition.

Join Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin, alongside sound money advocates Daniel Diaz and Lawrence Hilton for a powerful discussion on the growing movement to restore gold, silver, and digital assets as legal tender across the U.S.

 This panel explores how states are reclaiming monetary sovereignty and pushing back against inflationary policies by embracing real, constitutional money.

Govt Takeover Of Stablecoins: Accelerated Currency Debasement | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance:  6-18-2025

Join Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin, alongside sound money advocates Daniel Diaz and Lawrence Hilton for a powerful discussion on the growing movement to restore gold, silver, and digital assets as legal tender across the U.S.

 This panel explores how states are reclaiming monetary sovereignty and pushing back against inflationary policies by embracing real, constitutional money.

Recent discussions surrounding government regulation of stablecoins have raised concerns about potential accelerated currency debasement and a tightening grip on monetary control.

 This has fueled a growing movement pushing for the restoration of gold, silver, and even digital assets as legal tender across the United States.

In a compelling discussion hosted by Liberty and Finance, experts like Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin, joined sound money advocates Daniel Diaz and Lawrence Hilton to delve into this critical topic.

 The panel explored the increasingly alarming trend of government intervention in the digital asset space, specifically focusing on the potential for governments to seize control of stablecoins, effectively centralizing control over this emerging financial technology.

This move, critics argue, could pave the way for even more aggressive inflationary policies. With governments able to directly manipulate and control the value of digital currencies, the risk of unchecked money printing and subsequent devaluation of the dollar dramatically increases.

This, in turn, erodes the purchasing power of citizens and undermines the foundation of a healthy economy.

However, a counter-movement is gaining momentum. States are increasingly recognizing the importance of reclaiming monetary sovereignty, pushing back against inflationary federal policies by embracing alternative forms of currency.

 This includes exploring the legal tender status of tangible assets like gold and silver, as well as carefully considering the role of decentralized digital assets.

The argument centers around a return to “real, constitutional money” – assets whose value is derived from inherent scarcity and intrinsic worth, rather than being solely dependent on the decree of a central authority.

By diversifying their monetary landscape, states aim to provide citizens with greater financial freedom and a hedge against the potentially devastating consequences of unchecked government monetary policy.

The situation is complex and rapidly evolving, demanding careful consideration from policymakers, investors, and everyday citizens alike. As governments grapple with the implications of stablecoins and digital assets, the fight for monetary sovereignty is poised to intensify.

 By understanding the potential pitfalls of government control and exploring alternative monetary solutions, individuals can navigate this evolving financial landscape and safeguard their economic future.

For a more in-depth analysis of these critical issues, be sure to watch the full video from Liberty and Finance, offering valuable insights and perspectives from leading voices in the sound money movement.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

XRP and Cardano Merger? Crypto Analyst Calls It “Unstoppable”

A surprising alliance may be forming in the crypto space as XRP and Cardano, two of the most loyal and powerful crypto communities, begin exploring integration.

George Tung, founder of CryptosRus, says the potential merger could create an “unstoppable force” within the digital asset industry.

“Two of the strongest armies and strongest holders out there. Combining the two would create an unstoppable force,” Tung asserted.

Key Developments:

▪️ Charles Hoskinson, Cardano’s founder, is pushing for XRP integration across Cardano’s DeFi ecosystemstablecoins, and wallets.

▪️ XRP and Cardano communities, long considered rivals, are moving toward real collaboration after resolving past conflicts.

▪️ XRP integration into Cardano’s Lace wallet, and possible deployment of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin on Cardano, are already in progress.

From Rivals to Collaborators: A Shift in Crypto Dynamics

Historically, XRP and Cardano supporters have clashed, often over regulatory narratives and public comments made by Hoskinson regarding Ethereum and XRP’s legal battles. But in 2023, Hoskinson issued a public apology to the XRP community, signaling a new chapter of cooperation.

That gesture appears to have opened the door to practical steps toward collaboration between the two blockchain ecosystems.

Crypto’s Most Loyal Communities Join Forces

Tung's prediction rests on a simple but powerful truth: both XRP and Cardano have endured market volatility, regulatory scrutiny, and prolonged development cycles—without losing the support of their core users.

▪️ XRP holders famously held firm during the 2020 SEC lawsuit, refusing to sell despite major market pressure.

▪️ Cardano users have backed the project through years of slow, research-driven development, showing a deep-rooted belief in its long-term vision.

These loyal user bases have transformed both assets into crypto mainstays, dominating social media platforms and shaping market sentiment.

What’s Already Underway: From Wallets to Airdrops

Major collaborative efforts are already taking shape:

▪️ Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is expected to launch on Cardano, enabling seamless cross-chain value transfer.

▪️ XRP integration into Cardano’s Lace wallet is underway, allowing users to hold both assets side-by-side.

▪️ Cardano’s Midnight airdrop—featuring NIGHT and DUST tokens—will include XRP holders, reaching over 37 million wallets.

▪️ Hoskinson has floated the idea of Midnight protocol as a DeFi layer for XRP, potentially unlocking new yield and liquidity opportunities.

What Could Come Next: A Crypto Power Duo in Formation

This alliance is still in its early stages, but the implications could be profound. A formal merger or deep integration between XRP’s institutional reach and Cardano’s DeFi infrastructure would create a crypto network with global utility, resilience, and scalability.

If these plans succeed, George Tung’s “unstoppable force” prediction may no longer sound like hype—but a credible threat to current crypto market leaders.

▪️ Flare’s Total Value Locked (TVL) surged to a record $162 million, up from $38 million in April, driven by new DeFi features and omnichain integrations.

▪️ XRP’s role in DeFi is expanding through stakingliquidity, and stablecoin integrations, opening new doors for long-term XRP holders.

Moonwell Launches cbXRP on Base: DeFi Lending Without Selling XRP

Moonwell, a prominent lending platform on Coinbase’s Base ecosystem, has launched the first-ever market for cbXRP, a 1:1 tokenized version of XRP. This marks a turning point for XRP holders seeking DeFi exposure.

To participate, users exchange XRP for cbXRP via Coinbase, enabling them to borrow USDC while retaining XRP exposure. This move allows for capital-efficient participation in DeFi without the need to liquidate holdings.

Flare Attracts $100M XRP Investment From VivoPower

VivoPower, an electric vehicle services company, has pledged a $100 million XRP investment in partnership with Flare. The company plans to become the first XRP-focused digital asset enterprise, leveraging institutional yield strategies via DeFi.

Flare supports XRP’s on-chain functionality through FXRP, a fully non-custodial, 1:1 wrapped version of XRP, and is developing a liquid staking model with stXRP, mirroring Lido DAO’s liquid staking structure.

Liquidity Soars on Flare with USDT0 Integration

In addition to institutional support, Flare’s liquidity has surged following its integration of USDT0—an omnichain version of Tether’s USDT, based on LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token standard.

▪️ TVL on Flare hit an all-time high of $162 million on June 8, up from $38 million in late April.
▪️ As of now, TVL stands at $144 million, according to DeFiLlama.

What This Means for XRP Holders and DeFi

These developments signal a growing DeFi footprint for XRP, a token historically focused on payments and remittances. By entering lending, staking, and liquidity provisioning through cbXRPFXRP, and stXRP, XRP is now embedded in a fast-evolving DeFi landscape.

Long-term holders gain access to new earning strategies, while institutional players see fresh pathways to engage with the ecosystem—without compromising compliance or control.

As Ripple’s regulatory clarity strengthens and DeFi integrations deepen, XRP is emerging as a central player in next-generation finance.

Ohio House Passes Landmark Bill for Tax-Free Crypto Payments and Mining Protections

Ohio is stepping into the crypto spotlight with a sweeping new bill that could reshape the state's approach to digital assets. On Wednesday, the Ohio House of Representatives passed House Bill 116 — the Ohio Blockchain Basics Act — by a vote of 70–26, signaling a bipartisan shift toward blockchain innovation and deregulation.

Key Highlights:

▪️ Crypto transactions under $200 will be exempt from capital gains taxes, with the threshold set to adjust annually for inflation.

▪️ Mining and staking protections are built into the bill, shielding operations from discriminatory zoning laws or licensing burdens.

▪️ The bill ensures residential and industrial crypto mining is allowed if local ordinances are followed.

▪️ Ohio aims to ban government overreach on wallets, nodes, swaps, and other blockchain activity.

▪️ House Bill 116 now moves to the Ohio Senate and could soon reach Governor Mike DeWine for final approval.

$200 Crypto Payment Exemption Could Set Precedent

At the heart of the legislation is a tax exemption for crypto transactions under $200, eliminating capital gains tax obligations for small, everyday payments. The threshold will rise annually with the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rounded up to the nearest $5 — and notably, the bill prevents future reductions to this limit.

This provision aligns with national efforts to treat crypto like cash for low-value transactions, a move widely supported by industry advocates and users alike.

Mining Freedoms for Residential and Industrial Areas

The bill also breaks new ground by permitting crypto mining in residential zones, provided local noise and ordinance regulations are met. Industrial-zoned areas would allow full-scale mining operations, and the law bars state regulators from enforcing crypto-specific rules that don’t apply to other businesses.

Additionally, the bill states that any rezoning that harms mining operations must go through a formal notice and comment process. If miners believe they're being discriminated against, they’ll have the right to challenge it in court.

No License Needed for Core Blockchain Activities

The Ohio Blockchain Basics Act exempts a broad range of blockchain activities from licensing requirements. These include:

  • Mining and staking

  • Operating blockchain nodes

  • Crypto-to-crypto swaps

  • Software development for blockchain transactions

It further clarifies that these activities do not constitute securities offerings, a direct response to the SEC's legal posture under the Biden administration.

Wallet Autonomy and Future Plans

The bill also prohibits the government from interfering with hardware wallets or self-custody practices, reinforcing user sovereignty over digital assets — a core principle in the crypto ethos.

Looking ahead, Ohio lawmakers are considering another proposal: the creation of an “Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Fund,” introduced in January. That bill is currently under review by the Financial Institutions, Insurance, and Technology Committee.

Ohio Emerges as a Crypto-Friendly State

With over 160 crypto-related bills introduced across 40 U.S. states, Ohio’s move puts it at the forefront of regulatory innovation. By protecting on-chain activity and encouraging tax-friendly adoption, the state sends a clear signal: Ohio is open for blockchain business.

In a World Buried in Debt, there are Only Three Exits

BREAKING NEWS: A RECORD SHARE OF THE WORLD’S CENTRAL BANKS PLANS TO ACCUMULATE MORE GOLD OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS

The trend…

Things are in full swing.

In a World Buried in Debt, there are Only Three Exits

Gold Telegraph:  6-18-2025

BREAKING NEWS: A RECORD SHARE OF THE WORLD’S CENTRAL BANKS PLANS TO ACCUMULATE MORE GOLD OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS

The trend…

Things are in full swing.

Source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-17/more-central-banks-than-ever-plan-to-build-up-their-gold-hoards

We are now at the stage where we print paper currency to fund wars and bailouts, yet hoard the one asset that can’t be printed out of thin air. Gold.

While most people sleepwalk through headlines, the people who design this system are hoarding. You can’t even write this script.

Roughly half of the central banks in the Global South plan to increase their gold reserves in the next 12 months. Think about this. The Russian president said last year that countries of the Global South are taking leading roles in the world. Gold is at the centre of it.

In chess, you better know every piece on the board. If you ignore the pawn, you will never see the checkmate coming.

BREAKING NEWS: THE PEOPLE’S BANK OF CHINA GOVERNOR SAYS IN THE FUTURE, THE GLOBAL MONETARY SYSTEM COULD CONTINUE TO EVOLVE TOWARD A SITUATION WHERE A FEW SOVEREIGN CURRENCIES CO-EXIST, COMPETE AND CHECK AND BALANCE EACH OTHER

It is in motion.

“People’s Bank of China Governor Pan Gongsheng laid out in the clearest terms yet his vision for the future of a new global currency order…”

Source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-18/pboc-chief-sees-currency-competition-as-dollar-dominance-falters

The People’s Bank of China Governor also said that one option is to promote a super-sovereign currency, using IMF special drawing rights (SDRs) as a possible choice. Boom. The key message: “A possible choice.” A super-sovereign currency is GOLD.

The entire world is now watching for stagflation.

Gold Telegraph:  I was very early with this prediction, but how can anyone dismiss the prospects of stagflation? Look at the 1970s, valuation shifts and gold’s rise. Now we face tariffs, currency wars, hot conflicts, and to top it all off: Record global debt Nightmare for central banks.

The leader of China’s central bank expects new currency order to challenge the dollar. Everything is now out in the open. Gold…

China is about to eliminate all tariffs for 53 African nations under a new economic pact. This is BIG. Very strategic moves are being made now in real time.

Nassim Taleb says gold is effectively the reserve currency. Bingo.

The main stream media is beginning to acknowledge Judy Shelton as a potential candidate to lead the Federal Reserve. Principled and disciplined, Judy knows that gold holds the key to restoring trust in the U.S. monetary system and reviving the principle of sound money.

When a currency devalues or inflation eats away at a reserve asset, why would any nation cling to it as a true measure of value?

In a world buried in debt, there are only three exits:

1) Explosive growth
2) Deliberate devaluation
3) Default

When growth fails, devaluation takes over, gutting value and forcing a new monetary order into reality.

So don’t be surprised that gold has reclaimed its place as the world’s second-most vital reserve asset.

As I have said for years, my core thesis has always been: The Dollar vs. Gold.

If the United States remonetizes gold, it will not only change the fabric of the system but also reclaim the constitutional foundation of honest money that once made the dollar worth its name. @judyshel

Stablecoins May Help Cut U.S. Debt, Says Treasury Secretary Bessent

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has publicly endorsed the growing role of stablecoins in strengthening the American economy—and even helping reduce the national debt.

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Bessent said that a booming stablecoin market could generate sustained demand for U.S. Treasury bonds, which in turn would lower government borrowing costs.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Stablecoins May Help Cut U.S. Debt, Says Treasury Secretary Bessent

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has publicly endorsed the growing role of stablecoins in strengthening the American economy—and even helping reduce the national debt.

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Bessent said that a booming stablecoin market could generate sustained demand for U.S. Treasury bonds, which in turn would lower government borrowing costs.

Stablecoin Growth Could Reach Trillions—and Bring Down Borrowing Costs

▪️ According to a new Citigroup report, the stablecoin market could expand to $3.7 trillion by 2030 in a high-growth scenario, or at minimum reach $1.6 trillion under more conservative projections.

▪️ Bessent echoed this forecast, noting that U.S.-backed stablecoins alone could exceed $2 trillion by 2028, especially if supportive legislation—like the GENIUS Act—continues to move forward.

▪️ Most major stablecoins, including Tether (USDT) and USDC, are backed by U.S. Treasury bonds, meaning issuers must purchase government debt to collateralize their tokens.

“This increased demand for Treasury securities will drive down interest rates on federal debt,” Bessent wrote, calling it a ‘win-win-win’ for the government, private issuers, and consumers.

GENIUS Act: A Legislative Boost to the Stablecoin Sector

▪️ On June 12, the U.S. Senate passed the GENIUS Act by a 68–30 vote, marking a historic step toward comprehensive stablecoin regulation.

▪️ The act is designed to create clear, secure rules for stablecoin issuance and compliance, boosting trust in the sector and enabling further growth both domestically and globally.

▪️ Bessent emphasized that this legal clarity could be the catalyst needed to make the U.S. a global hub for stablecoin development, while reinforcing the dominance of the U.S. dollar in digital finance.

Why This Matters

▪️ The U.S. national debt currently exceeds $35 trillion, and interest payments are one of the fastest-growing components of the federal budget.

▪️ If stablecoin expansion results in sustained buying of Treasury bonds, the government could see a long-term reduction in debt service costs.

▪️ This scenario would embed U.S. debt instruments more deeply into the digital asset ecosystem, further stabilizing the financial system and anchoring the U.S. dollar’s role in global markets.

Right now, the total stablecoin market stands at roughly $255 billion, but with new laws and Treasury support, it could evolve into one of the most significant financial innovations of the decade.

U.S. Senate Passes GENIUS Act in Historic Stablecoin Milestone

In a major breakthrough for crypto regulation, the U.S. Senate passed the GENIUS Act on Tuesday, establishing the country’s first legislative framework for payment stablecoins. The bill passed with a strong bipartisan vote of 68–30, signaling growing congressional consensus on the future of digital finance.

This marks the first time comprehensive crypto legislation has cleared the Senate, and it now heads to the House for consideration.

GENIUS Act: A Defining Moment for U.S. Crypto Policy

▪️ The GENIUS Act is designed to provide clear rules for dollar-backed stablecoins, a rapidly expanding part of the crypto economy.

▪️ Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) called the legislation “a product of principled, bipartisan leadership,” adding:

“With the GENIUS Act, we’re bringing clarity to a sector that’s been clouded by uncertainty.”

▪️ Eighteen Democrats joined most Republicans to push the bill through after weeks of procedural hurdles and cross-party negotiations.

Legislative Journey Marked by Friction and Compromise

▪️ Though the bill sailed through the Senate Banking Committee this spring with bipartisan support, it stalled in early May when a group of crypto-friendly Democrats pulled support, citing a breakdown in negotiations.

▪️ Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), a lead Democratic negotiator, celebrated the final deal:

“This is proof of what can be achieved through honest negotiations and a willingness to work across the aisle.”

▪️ A new compromise bill emerged after two weeks of intense talks, paving the way for the landmark vote.

Industry Impact and Bipartisan Support in the House

▪️ House Financial Services Chair French Hill (R-Ark.) welcomed the Senate passage, saying:

“It brings lawmakers one step closer to creating a functional regulatory framework.”

▪️ While the House advanced its own version—the STABLE Act—in April, it has yet to come to the floor. However, Hill noted strong interest in pushing forward quickly to align with Senate progress.

Criticism and Political Tensions Around Trump Ties

▪️ Some Democrats expressed concern about conflicts of interest involving former President Donald Trump, noting the absence of provisions to prevent him from profiting off stablecoin regulations.

▪️ Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) criticized the final bill:

“Passing the GENIUS Act without strong anti-corruption measures stamps a Congressional seal of approval on President Trump selling access to the government for personal profit.”

▪️ The initial plan to allow floor amendments was scrapped by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to avoid last-minute complications, including controversial proposals like the Credit Card Competition Act.

What’s Next: Market Structure Legislation Still Pending

▪️ The stablecoin bill is part of a larger Republican and Trump administration effort to establish clear crypto rules before August.

▪️ The broader Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which would determine how regulatory power is split between the SEC and CFTC, has made slower progress but cleared two key House committees last week.

Conclusion:
The Senate’s passage of the GENIUS Act represents a historic win for the crypto industry, marking a shift from regulatory ambiguity to legislative clarity. With the House now expected to take up the measure, stablecoin oversight could soon become the first officially codified area of U.S. crypto law.

BRICS Bank to Disburse Loans in National Currencies, Reducing U.S. Dollar Dependence

The New Development Bank (NDB), also known as the BRICS Bank, is moving forward with plans to issue loans in national currencies, a major step toward reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar and strengthening local financial sovereignty among member nations.

The initiative aims to center regional currencies in cross-border financing and make the bank more resilient against external financial pressures.

A Strategic Response to Western Sanctions

▪️ The shift was confirmed by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, who attributed the move to sanctions imposed by the White House on several developing countries.

▪️ Ryabkov stated that Russia is working closely with NDB to promote lending and repayment in national currencies, positioning the bank as a more attractive and autonomous lender for emerging economies.

“Sanctions pressure from Western countries still impedes the normal functioning of the bank on the territory of the Russian Federation,” Ryabkov noted.

Dilma Rousseff’s Role in Overhauling BRICS Lending Framework

▪️ The bank’s president, Dilma Rousseff, has been tasked with leading the transition. According to Ryabkov, she is actively implementing measures to expand financing in national currencies and develop new investment tools.

▪️ He emphasized that these steps are aimed at aligning the NDB’s operations with BRICS’ larger vision of a fair, non-discriminatory global financial system.

“The management of NDB... takes necessary steps for BRICS Bank to meet its goals on a fair and non-discriminatory basis,” Ryabkov said.

Trade Wars and Tariffs Fuel the Push for Independence

▪️ Ryabkov also criticized ongoing tariffs and trade wars, stating that these measures have disrupted the flow of global trade and undermined multilateral cooperation.

▪️ He said BRICS nations are united in their view that Western-imposed economic barriers hinder progress toward sustainable development goals.

“Such measures undermine the multilateral trade system,” Ryabkov warned, reiterating BRICS’ call for more inclusive and balanced global finance.

What This Means for Emerging Economies

▪️ By enabling billions in loans to be disbursed and repaid in national tenders, the BRICS Bank is not only insulating member economies from geopolitical pressure—but also increasing the strength and utility of local currencies.

▪️ The move may encourage greater adoption of national currencies in regional trade and investment, positioning BRICS as a serious counterbalance to the dollar-dominated financial order.

▪️ Although no timeline has been announced, the shift signals a deeper financial realignment as the BRICS alliance continues its push for monetary multipolarity.

Gold is the Financial System’s Lie Detector

Gold is the Financial System’s Lie Detector

Liberty and Finance:   6-16-2025

In a recent interview with Liberty and Finance, market analyst Matthew Piepenburg delivered a stark warning about the foundation of our modern financial system.

He argues that the entire architecture is fundamentally deceptive, built upon decades of fiscal mismanagement and propped up by misleading narratives. Piepenburg doesn’t mince words, directly challenging the legitimacy of the current economic order.

Gold is the Financial System’s Lie Detector

Liberty and Finance:   6-16-2025

In a recent interview with Liberty and Finance, market analyst Matthew Piepenburg delivered a stark warning about the foundation of our modern financial system.

He argues that the entire architecture is fundamentally deceptive, built upon decades of fiscal mismanagement and propped up by misleading narratives. Piepenburg doesn’t mince words, directly challenging the legitimacy of the current economic order.

Piepenburg traces the roots of the problem back to the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971.

 This pivotal moment, he contends, paved the way for unchecked central bank interventions and the erosion of sound economics. He argues that policies like Quantitative Easing (QE) and Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), while presented as solutions, have only exacerbated the issues, leading to unsustainable debt levels and the relentless decline in the value of fiat currencies.

His criticism extends beyond specific policies, focusing on the overall narrative surrounding the financial system. He believes the public is being misled about the true risks and vulnerabilities inherent in a system increasingly reliant on debt and manipulated markets.

Interestingly, Piepenburg’s perspective on gold is particularly noteworthy. He doesn’t portray it as just another speculative asset.

Instead, he sees the rising demand for gold as a crucial signal, a canary in the coal mine indicating a growing distrust in fiat currencies and the increasingly precarious paper gold markets.

According to Piepenburg, the surge in gold demand is far from an irrational frenzy. It represents a growing understanding amongst investors that the global economy is teetering on the brink of something significant, a realization fueled by the sheer weight of insurmountable debt and the diminishing credibility of traditional financial institutions.

In essence, Piepenburg’s analysis paints a picture of a system struggling to maintain its facade, a system where the cracks are beginning to show, and where the flight to gold signifies a deeper unease about the long-term stability of the global financial order.

His insights provide a valuable, albeit unsettling, perspective on the current economic landscape.

To delve deeper into Piepenburg’s arguments and gain a more comprehensive understanding of his analysis, consider watching the full video interview with Liberty and Finance. It’s a provocative conversation that could change the way you view the world of finance.
