Finance ministers discuss BRICS Bridge digital currency payments

"Specifically, the Ministry said, 'We are talking about creating a multilateral digital settlement and payment platform.' However, Sputnik International one of Russia’s English propaganda networks, went further. It said Finance Minister Anton Siluanov was ready to test digital currencies with China, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the Gulf countries."

Another news outlet quoted Siluanov as saying, “The first thing to do is to create a connection to the existing central bank digital currency systems that are already operating in a number of countries. In parallel with this, national financial messaging systems need to be connected.”

Here, we have information with specific guidance on what has to be done in Russia and the BRICS system to see their local currencies onboarded to the new QFS. They give us a direct message in the last sentence of the above article.

Here it is again separated from the paragraph, "...national financial messaging systems need to be connected."

Good evening Dinar Recaps,

Finance ministers discuss BRICS Bridge digital currency payments

Meanwhile, Russia will be testing their new digital currency this year. Remember, Putin is the chair of the BRICS System this year, and many of the currencies we are looking to revalue have already joined this group. BRICS Nations are formulating a digital gold token for trade, this will change everything.

Do you remember ISO 20022 messaging system? It is still important.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

I am aware that we have a back screen rate people have been sharing on the dinar indicating movement in the IQD. It is good to know that there is one.

Now, you can stop doubting that this is real.

Keep your eyes on gold, silver, and oil to solar sections of the Debt Clock. These numbers will be the foundation assets to the new economy, and they are numbers we need to see in order to formulate real values across all market sectors.

All roads lead to gold, and gold will set us free.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

"Glassnode on Wednesday reported that major US OTC platforms have run out of bitcoins, with only 40 coins remaining. This development shows an imminent supply shortage which directly signals the potential for a big price pump shortly."

Yes, Bitcoin is 15 years old and running out of supply. There are only 40 bitcoins left as of 3 days ago. At this point, the demand for Bitcoins are outpacing their supply.

When demand outpaces supply, the corresponding response for an asset is to rise in its value.

Historically, Bitcoin tends to lead the rally for all the crypto space. An upward movement is expected going forward inside our new digital economy.

A bull run in the crypto space will encourage digital adoption as this new asset class begins to form new price pressures going forward.

"Bitwise anticipates a surge in institutional investment into Bitcoin ETFs in the coming months as major financial institutions, known as “wirehouses,” start offering Bitcoin ETF trades to their clients."

A wirehouse is a full-service broker-dealer of any size. Although many broker-dealers are "independent" firms involved in broker-dealer services, others are subsidiaries of commercial banks, investment banks, or investment companies. They sell Securities such as spot Bitcoin ETFs for their clients leveling the playing field between the retail Market and Institutional Financing.

For this reason, the competition for gold through digital assets can now be obtained through anyone desiring to become a part of the new Financial System through these new additions to their portfolios.

This is expected to create a gold rush into the next economy for well over a decade. We are simply beginning a process of transformation that will change values in every sector of our Global markets going forward. Crypto News CoinTelegraph

"Russia is testing digital asset payment technology as groundwork for a potential BRICS digital currency.

The move aims to reduce global dependency on the US Dollar, aligning with BRICS’ de-dollarization efforts.

Digital currency trials are starting with China and Eurasian Economic Union countries, under Russia’s initiative."

Russia is making a move inside the new digital economy. They are testing their new payment system with digital assets formulating a pre BRICS currency launch.

Vladimir Putin is the current chairman for the BRICS Nations. One of the qualifications in belonging to the BRICS Nations is that countries have to back their economy by gold or other commodities. These new global economic initiatives are what is leading the drive towards a Global Currency Reset.

A new trading currency with a backing by gold for the BRICS Nations is rapidly becoming more than just a simple threat to the current Global Monetary System.

Russia is currently taking practical steps in lowering their dependence on the US dollar in trade among nations. And, these changes are affecting the current ratings of their currency. Enough so, that the FATF is currently re-rating their currency.

When a countries' currency is re-rated, it means they are currently in process of a revaluation inside their new currency values and mechanisms for the dissemination of these new values in trade. Yes, new exchange rates.

"The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is the global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog. It sets international standards that aim to prevent these illegal activities and the harm they cause to society."

Look for the FATF to get more involved in the BRICS Nations as they set forth new trading mechanisms designed to enhance their group's local currency values through their new digital asset-based trading system.

This is a move from a pegged currency with the dollar to a free floating exchange rate determined by the markets. Gold adds value to currencies that have been devalued over the years and equalizes the playing field for each country involving themselves inside free-floating mechanisms.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

"India’s forex reserves experienced a notable increase, rising by $2.975 billion to reach $619.072 billion for the week ending February 23, as reported by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This surge follows a previous week where reserves had slightly decreased by $1.132 billion.

Major Components

1. Foreign Currency Assets:

Increased by $2.405 billion to $548.188 billion.

Foreign currency assets encompass various currencies such as the euro, pound, and yen, reflecting their valuation against the US dollar.

Goldilocks' Comments and Global Economic News Sunday Evening 3-3-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

2. Gold Reserves:

Rose by $472 million to $47.848 billion during the week.

3. Special Drawing Rights (SDRs):

Witnessed an uptick of $89 million to $18.197 billion.

4. Reserve Position with the IMF:

Expanded by $9 million to $4.839 billion."

There would be absolutely no reason for India to be increasing their revenue like this unless it had something to do with the UPI or Unified Payments Interface.

The UPI powers several bank accounts in one application. This can happen with any bank globally that wants to participate in their payment transaction system through trade and more.

It is an instant payment service that operates 24/7 and 365 days a year. Their foreign currency, special drawing rights, and gold reserves continue to grow.

This enables them to service the needs of foreign currency exchanges in trade from around the world near and far. They can even enable people to do these transactions over a mobile phone application.

It's been a while back, but Iraq was one of the countries along with Vietnam and Indonesia that piloted this new International Payment System. Current Affairs

The IMF is recognizing Iraq to be a financially inclusive banking system. This means they have become an open banking system allowing free trade agreements to be made with them near and far.

The CBI article that goes with this writing indicates that the IMF has recognized Iraq to be a compliant, safe, and trustworthy institution for trade. It is well and it's way to digitizing products for trade beyond the oil sector and on the local level.

These new monetary mechanisms will shield them from money laundering that has plagued them for so many years, and it will enable them to move forward with the full confidence of a Global Economy.

"An ACH transfer is completed through a clearing house — a network of financial institutions — and is used most often for processing direct deposits or payments.

A wire transfer is typically used for high-value transactions and is completed through a bank, which makes it faster, but it does have a fee."

We are currently transitioning from Clearing House Transactions to Wire Transfer Services that can be done through a bank. Wire transfer services will make this new digital payment system much faster. In fact, the transfer of payments will be done in seconds.

As Protocol 20 expands and integrates Quantum Technologies from around the world, this shift into digital processing of money transfers will significantly increase the demand for the new digital economy. These new demands will bring in new values across the board and from country to country.

Money velocity will enhance faster trades that will allow the movement of products around the world to operate seamlessly and efficiently. Faster movement of products will create more profits and increase more opportunities for companies producing their items for sale across many sectors of the market and on an even playing field no matter their size.

"Hong Kong is currently pursuing an expansion of the digital yuan’s application. It is also approaching the second phase of its own CBDC pilot program and completing consultations for stablecoin issuance."

Do you remember a couple of months ago when we spoke of several global stablecoins that were being tested inside a sandbox with Hong Kong?

They are telling us that Hong Kong is in process of moving past the consultation process and ready to move into the implementation phase. This is the phase of regulatory development inside Global use case scenarios.

CBI Announcement:

Shafaq News / The Iraqi Central Bank (CBI) affirmed on Saturday that it has provided five alternative currencies to the dollar for traders to use in purchasing goods from abroad, using each country's currency through the bank.

CBI’s Deputy Governor Ammar Hamad told Shafaq News Agency that "CBI has made other foreign currencies available for Iraqi traders, including the euro, the Chinese yuan, the Turkish lira, the Emirati dirham, and the Indian rupee."

He added that "these currencies are now available to traders, aiming to facilitate foreign trade. When a trader imports goods from China, for instance, they can pay in Iraqi dinars to the Iraqi bank, which will then settle the amount with the Chinese company or factory in Chinese currency." Shafaq

As the name suggests, a reverse ATM, or a cash-to-card kiosk, is the opposite of a conventional cash machine. A reverse ATM is a machine into which customers deposit cash and are given a debit card with the amount they have deposited credited onto the card. The customer can then use this card to complete a transaction through the merchant’s payment gateway—either in-store or online.

Currently, consumers will most commonly see cash-to-card kiosks in venues or establishments that want to encourage their customers to use cards instead of cash for transactions in their establishments. In return for cash, kiosks dispense stored-value cards that can be used to purchase goods or services in that establishment. Unicorn Group

Euro Bank and India UPI Announcement:

"NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL), a subsidiary of National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), and Eurobank SA, a Greek bank, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) towards enhancing cross-border payments using UPI rails."

The Euro Bank and and India's UPI has a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between them on cross border payments utilizing the Unified Payments Interface.

"The eurobank is a financial institution that accepts deposits (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/deposit.asp) and makes loans (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/loan.asp) in foreign currencies." What makes this connection so important lies in the fact of the payment systems between them.

"As the private bank of the largest financial group in the world, Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft is both at home in Zurich and in Frankfurt am Main, rooted in both countries – Switzerland and Germany – and closely connected with city and country, culture and society at both locations."

Cross border Euro payments to and from Switzerland go through the Swiss Euro Clearing Bank in Frankfurt. This acts as the link between the two systems. These connections are of prime importance in uniting foreign markets to one of the most influx of money that moves through the world each day.

This gives us more access to foreign markets and foreign currency trades. Each day, we are witnessing various pieces of our global economy unite into what makes up the Global Markets.

These new connections make up new digital building blocks inside the new QFS. Gaps are being closed rapidly, and the need for stablecoins to purchase tokenized assets from around the world is becoming more and more important.

As Protocol 20 continues to expand uniting Quantum Technologies, look for stablecoins to become more in the forefront going forward.

"Shafaq News/ The International Monetary Fund (IMF) indicated a "significant decline" in inflation rates in Iraq, which was reflected in the decline in food and energy prices and the stability of the foreign exchange market in Iraq.

According to the Ministry of Finance, an Iraqi delegation headed by Finance Minister Taif Sami concluded its discussions with the IMF's Article IV mission experts in Amman, Jordan, during which many issues were discussed, including the implementation of the economic reform program, the improvements achieved by the Iraqi government in the field of development infrastructure, financial sustainability, and boosting non-oil revenues."

It looks like Iraq has been given permission to move forward with their economic reforms as we discussed in January this year was going to take place in February 2024 because of an announcement made during Article 4 consultation with the IMF.

This is why we are seeing the acceptance of Iraq in the WTO, and they can now join other countries in the WTO formulating new price mechanisms that will level the playing field in trade among other nations. Shafaq News

"Over the past year or so, the Fed has been intensely discussing inflation in “core services,” which is where inflation had shifted to in 2022, from goods inflation which had spiked into mid-2022 but then cooled dramatically. So “core services” is where it’s at. Core services is where consumers spend the majority of their money. Core services are all services except energy services. Core services inflation has been behaving badly for months, and in January, it spiked out the wazoo."

The likelihood of another rate hike was mentioned today. These core readings give the FED an indication how much inflation is taking place and how much money consumers are spending.

Inflation tends to devalue a currency. As we have talked about in this room, the likelihood of currencies creating more purchasing power normally comes with a lowering of interest rates. Wolf Street

"This suggests that the gap between weekends and weekdays could deepen further as ETFs gain traction and change the market structure,” Kaiko concluded.

Since the dawn of spot Bitcoin ETF, trading volumes over the weekend have moved over to Traditional Market hours Monday through Friday.

People are beginning to wake up to the fact that a digital economy is well underway, and the markets are shifting from weekend trades to traditional Market hours.

This move is indicating that sentiment towards a digital economy is growing, and the measurement of new values on digital assets are beginning to move M-F with the traditional market hours.

This has raised the level of professionalism inside the CRYPTO Market giving those who trade these assets more validity as a trader.

With big names like BlackRock and others pouring their money into the crypto markets and moving out of the stock market, it is shaping the world of crypto. The merge of these two markets into one is well underway.

It is a market that has to be dealt with as tokenized assets have been given the green light as of yesterday to begin moving and expanding Networks across the Sorobon mainnet.

Sorobon is a smart contract Network designed to draw in institutional money as well as the entrepreneur seeking to add a little pocket change.

Look for a stablecoin regulation to become a main priority at this point on the legislative level. Once these moves are made, they will turn on these Networks to full blast.

The merging of tokenized assets and digital payment systems through stablecoins and smart contracts are a phase of development that is picking up steam. The Block

Lloyds Bank has become the first UK bank to join the WaveBL electronic trade documentation platform, unlocking new trade efficiencies and sustainability benefits for its clients by using electronic Bills of Lading (eBLs).

Bills of Lading are a critical document in international trade. They are issued by a carrier when a seller dispatches goods to an end customer, and act as a ‘receipt’ for the goods being shipped.

Once payment – or agreement to pay at a future date – for the goods is received, the Bill of Lading is released to the buyer so they can claim the product on arrival.

The vast majority of Bills of Lading are currently in paper form. Through this new partnership, Lloyds Bank’s clients will now be able to securely and seamlessly transfer fully digital, blockchain-based eBLs between organisations on the WaveBL network, which boasts members in 136 countries and includes four of the world’s ten largest container shipping carriers.

"The future of DeFi savings is here: High Yield USD (hyUSD) is a fully asset-backed flatcoin created on the Reserve protocol."

High Yield USD (hyUSD) is an overcollateralized DeFi savings flatcoin. It offers up to 8% APY for holders with the deployment of Reserve Protocol.

The Reserve protocol allows users to create tokens backed by a collection of other tokens, which can be used as stablecoins or composite assets.

Composite assets allows the grouping of many Digital Networks or Assets to minimize risks and enhance profit on their growth.

With the emergence of Protocol 20, Web3 and Artificial Intelligence are merging blockchain groupings together.

The joining of Networks on the QFS is currently allowing us to expand into decentralized protocols in the monetary system separating us from Centralized Programs of the Old Financial System.

The deployment of these new digital smart contracts allows the interfacing of new Quantum Technologies. This is why an open banking system is important. It allows us to merge with new technologies inside the new Digital Asset Based Trading System.

When distributed ledgers have similar information records called blocks. They begin to talk to one another forming alliances on the blockchain.

Soroban and Ethereum are currently joining forces to expand our QFS into new opportunities. The emergence of our new digital economy is beginning to take baby steps into the future. The Defiant

We are clearly witnessing a shift in money flows regarding Treasury Bonds. The Global Economy is already changing the way we live and how we invest in the future.

Investor sentiment is changing. The move from intermediate-term Treasury Bonds to bonds with maturity dates of two, three, five, and even 10 years out is getting a second look.

Society is realizing that our economy is in transition, and many investors are beginning to pour their money into longer-term opportunities to grow their money. It looks like people are beginning to bank on a brighter future.

As our tokenized assets settle into new price patterns, the new digital gold economy will bring in new life inside a QFS. CNBC

We are living in a time whereby every asset on the market is connected. Instead of assets competing with each other, the future of our Global Markets are designed to enhance one another's growth.

Gold is the bridge into this new economy through tokenized assets. And, the collaboration between networks and assets governed by standardized protocols will support each other's growth in a way not seen before in history. The Global Treasurer

WTO Iraq Announcement:

“Iraq is participating for the first time since 2004 in the Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization, which is held in... The capital, Abu Dhabi,” points to “the completion of the requirements for Iraq’s access to the organization, which is the completion of the files of trade in goods and trade in services within the timetable for joining the global multilateral trading system.”

Iraq is currently participating in the World Trade Organization. Their potential membership is moving forward. As a full member of the WTO, they will need a rate to fully participate in this inclusion.

This is truly a monumental achievement for Iraq and something the world has been waiting for for a long time. Economy--News

Vietnam is showing trading statistics that indicate a self-sustaining economy that is growing, and even has, greater potential going forward.

At this point, Vietnam is showing momentum. When a country starts to show a trade surplus, it indicates that a demand for a country's goods and currency is in higher demand. Thus, creating the need for an increase in a country's currency value. Vietnam Net Global Edge Investopedia

"The WTO's 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13) will take place from 26 to 29 February 2024 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

There are high expectations that full acceptance into the WTO for Iraq will happen during this meeting taking place today.

Let's stay grounded. We will soon find out if Iraq is fully accepted into the WTO or not this week. WTO

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — "Reno County State Rep. Michael Murphy is backing a bill to allow for physical precious metals to pay for items in Kansas."

Kansas is the first state to run this proposal through the legislative committee process. Florida, Utah, Texas, and Oklahoma are all working on one.

If successful, these states will have their own depository. People will be able to use a debit card that represents the gold and silver held in this depository just like a bank.

The difference is that gold and silver is held in the depository and not paper money. Hutch Post

"Among the largest Citibank in the U.S. has conducted a simulation in which blockchain was used to tokenize a private equity fund, which could pave the way for greater institutional adoption of blockchain."

This pilot program is still in process. Yet, the soon-to-be adoption of crypto regulation and stablecoin utility use will make this a viable choice in the near future.

ETFs, collateralized assets, and tokenized assets held in a custody wallet are beginning to find their way into the banking system.

The simulations of blockchain transactions have been tested and seen as seamless movements of digital money very similar to the way traditional banking transactions have taken place.

The difference is that tokenized assets are collateralized by precious metals moving our banking system into a real-world asset type of transaction based on real values. CTN News l Chiang Rai Times

"The US securities regulators are embarking on a comprehensive reform of the market infrastructure for US Treasuries. US Treasuries are debt securities issued by the United States Department of the Treasury to fund government spending."

These include:
Treasury bills (T-bills)
Treasury notes (T-notes)
Treasury bonds (T-bonds)

With the introduction of New Dealer Registration Requirements for the CFTC and the SEC, they will be working closer together in the future. EVERYTHING WILL BE ROLLING OVER TO THE CFTC FOR GOVERNANCE AND TRANSPARENCY WITH THIS NEW INFRASTRUCTURE REFORM OF THE NEW DIGITAL ECONOMY.

This new requirement for the US Treasury to register as a dealer will provide more collaboration between the CFTC and the SEC. The SEC will take a more active role in registering the new tokenized asset economy and the CFTC will take a more active role in governing these assets.

These new reforms will enforce higher Capital Requirements and increase more regulatory oversight to the Financial Stability Oversight Council.

All roads lead to gold, and gold will set us free.
