BRICS: NEWS INDIA EXTENDS CBDC PAYMENTS TO NEW COUNTRIES

BRICS member India is strengthening its CBDC mobile payment ties with many more countries for cross-border transactions. Bloomberg reported that India is partnering with multiple countries in South Asia to process mobile payment systems. 

The countries include the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and its BRICS counterpart the United Arab Emirates (UAE). T Rabi Sankar, Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) confirmed the development at the conference in Cebu, Philippines.

In addition, BRICS member India has already maintained the CBDC payment agreement with Bhutan and Nepal. The RBI is collaborating with ASEAN countries to integrate the platform for all like-minded nations. For the uninitiated, India is among the first countries in the world to successfully launch the pilot batch of the CBDC testing.

BRICS country India is assessing the possibilities of launching the CBDC digital currency for government, retail, and institutional usage.

It is also studying the impact a CBDC currency could have on the overall economy, banking systems, and monetary policies. When asked about when the CBDC digital currency could be launched, Sankar said that India is not in a hurry. “We are in no hurry to roll it out immediately. Once we have some visibility of what the outcome or impact will be, we’ll roll it out. We don’t keep a specific timeline for that.”

WHY XLM: IS STELLAR THE MOST UNDERRATED CRYPTO?

▪️Stellar has seen a significant price surge, sparking renewed interest in its potential.

▪️Stellar's co-founder, Jed McCaleb, emphasizes its real-world utility, advanced features, and potential to revolutionize global finance.

▪️Stellar's high transaction volume, native stablecoins, decentralized exchange, and secure smart contracts ensure it as a strong player.

The Stellar market has soared by an astounding 478.057% since November 5, making waves across the crypto community. This unexpected price surge has left many asking: Could Stellar be one of the most underrated projects in crypto?

Co-founder Jeb McCaleb recently shared insights that reveal the true power behind Stellar—insights that most people have overlooked until now. What makes this project so special? Let’s dive deeper and uncover why Stellar might just be more than meets the eye.

Steller’s Growing Popularity
Stellar’s popularity has grown significantly in recent years, with the sharp rise in XLM’s price this month showing the growing interest in the project. While McCaleb acknowledged this increased attention, he pointed out that many people still don’t fully understand the potential of Stellar.

Despite the buzz, he believes the project remains underrated.

Stellar vs. Ethereum
One of McCaleb’s key points was about the scale of Stellar’s daily transactions. He noted that Stellar handles at least ten times more transactions daily than Ethereum, and a large portion of these transactions involve real-world payments.

This impressive transaction volume, combined with its practical use cases, is a major reason for the recent rise in XLM’s price.

Stellar’s Powerful Features
Stellar offers several unique features that have contributed to its popularity and price surge:

▪️Native Stablecoins: Stellar supports its own stablecoins, which makes it perfect for cross-border payments.
▪️Built-in Decentralized Exchange (DEX): Stellar’s integrated DEX allows easy token swaps without the need for third-party exchanges.
▪️On-Chain Governance: The project includes built-in governance features, ensuring more transparency and security.
▪️Safer Smart Contracts: Stellar’s platform allows secure smart contracts, making transactions safer.
▪️Passkey and Multi-Signature Support: The network enhances security with passkey support and native multi-signature features.

McCaleb also emphasized Stellar’s efficiency, noting that the platform supports fast transactions with near-zero fees. This cost-effectiveness and speed make it a top performer in the crypto space, and a big reason why Stellar is gaining more attention.

The Future of Stellar
McCaleb described Stellar as a powerful payment system that fits perfectly with the true purpose of cryptocurrency. He hopes that both businesses and individuals will soon recognize the value of using Stellar for financial transactions. He also predicts that Stellar will play a major role in the global financial system in the near future.

FAQs
What makes Stellar XLM unique?
Stellar’s unique features include native stablecoins, a built-in DEX, on-chain governance, safe smart contracts, and a scalable, secure platform ideal for financial transactions.

Is Stellar XLM underrated?
Despite its strong fundamentals and growing popularity, Stellar is often considered underrated due to a lack of widespread understanding about its real-world impact and capabilities.

What’s clear is that Stellar’s journey has only just begun, and its impact will soon be seen in the crypto industry.

AUSTRALIA BEGINS CONSULTATION ON OECD CRYPTO REPORTING FRAMEWORK

Australia’s Treasury seeks input on implementing the crypto-asset reporting framework within its domestic tax laws.

Australia’s Treasury Department released a consultation paper seeking feedback on applying an international reporting standard for cryptocurrency transactions. The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance tax transparency and combat global tax evasion.

The consultation, launched on Nov. 21, focuses on implementing the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF).

The OECD framework sets standardized rules for collecting tax data on crypto-asset transactions and sharing that information among tax authorities.

The paper presents two options for implementing CARF: adopting the framework into Australian tax law or taking a more tailored approach that would target the needs of the Australian Taxation Office.

Adopting an international standard on crypto reporting
In 2022, the OECD — an intergovernmental organization creating international standards — developed and released CARF to combat global tax evasion using crypto assets.

The OECD developed CARF in 2022 to combat global tax evasion through crypto assets. In 2023, 47 countries, including Australia, committed to adopting the framework. The initiative is expected to enhance visibility into crypto transactions and bolster international information exchange.

Australia is now moving toward integrating CARF into its tax law by consulting with stakeholders.

OECD’s CARF will mandate crypto exchanges and wallet providers to report specific crypto transactions to the relevant tax authorities. The information collected would include digital asset purchases.

According to the consultation paper, CARF reporting requirements may start in 2026. The Treasury stated:

“Subject to a final decision of Government, it is envisaged that CARF reporting requirements would commence from 2026, to ensure the first exchanges between the ATO and other tax authorities could take place by 2027. This timeframe would also be subject to future legislative priorities.”

The Treasury also said this timeframe will provide enough lead time for reporting crypto providers to update their systems.

Other countries implementing CARF into tax laws
Other jurisdictions have also started integrating CARF into their domestic laws. On April 18, Canada announced it would apply the framework by 2026.

 On May 18, Switzerland issued a public consultation for applying the standards to its local tax laws. The country also intends to implement the framework to enhance tax transparency for crypto assets.

Meanwhile, New Zealand introduced the framework in a new tax bill. On Aug. 27, the New Zealand Minister of Revenue submitted a proposal to implement the framework into its laws. Crypto providers are expected to collect information starting on April 1, 2026, and submit them by June 30, 2027.

WISDOMTREE FILES FOR XRP ETF VIA DELAWARE TRUST, JOINS BITWISE, CANARY CAPITAL IN THE RACE

Moving beyond Bitcoin, asset managers are now eyeing towards XRP as the next big player in the ETF space. In a latest develoment, the Global ETF provider WisdomTree has filed to launch an XRP ETF in the U.S. notably, this is the third filing to establish a spot XRP ETF in the country. Moreover, the XRP price soared over 10% after the announcement.

Eleanor Terrett Confirms The Legitimacy
The trust filing represents a preliminary step in the ETF launch process, preceding a formal application to the SEC.

The update was shared by Fox journalist Eleanor Terrett. Terrett also confirmed the legitimacy of the filing with WisdomTree, which manages over $100 billion in assets.

 Also, just recently, the organization introduced its physical Ripple ETP in Europe. The latest Delaware filing shows the firm’s growing interest in Ripple’s native token.

Additionally, two other firms have filed for an XRP ETF. In October, Bitwise and Canary Capital filed for spot XRP ETFs with the U.S. SEC.

XRP Surges 10%
The news has driven a notable price surge for XRP, with its value rising over 10% in intraday trading. Many market experts anticipate that if XRP breaks out above $1.50, its price could rally to over $2 in the short term.

Renowned analyst Armando Pantoja in a bullish outlook has suggested that XRP could surge to $8-$30. This optimism stems from expectations that Ripple’s long-standing legal battle with the U.S. SEC may resolve favorably in early 2025 in line with Trump’s return and Gensler’s exit.

With SEC Chair Gary Gensler set to resign, speculation is mounting around the future of XRP ETFs, particularly due to the Ripple SEC case. Experts believe that Gensler’s departure could lead to a relaxation in regulations potentially easing the path for XRP ETFs under new leadership.

“Launching this program will help us secure Iraq’s future,” said US Ambassador Alina Romanowski during the launch of the Universal Access Program to Improve Water and Sanitation Services in Iraq today, Monday, in the capital Baghdad. “Launching this program will help us secure Iraq’s future. Last September, the US government, through the US Agency for International Development and UNDP, helped Iraq with existing strategies to protect the environment and diversity from climate change.” She added

“Launching the Universal Access Program to Water and Sanitation Services and Achieving Food Security for the Most Vulnerable People is an important strategic step. We believe that the importance of access to clean water in Iraq may pose a challenge to some citizens in the countryside or the city. We also see that there are many challenges that we can clearly see.”

She explained, “Climate change, unsustainable irrigation systems, and water pollution are emerging challenges to the environment and also affect people’s lives. Therefore, we are working today to invest in water and sanitation, and we can help build the basic infrastructure for this issue.”

She added, “The US government, through the US Agency for International Development, is cooperating today with UNICEF to launch this program, which will help provide financial grants to launch The comprehensive access to water and sanitation services program and the management of the water file in its entirety, will also help in the integration of various parties, including the international community, the public sector and the private sector, hand in hand to work with each other,”

indicating that “this partnership is to enhance water and sanitation services that help people to access safe drinking water, and there are 5.9 million people who may not be able to access this clean safe water.”

The US Ambassador stressed the need for community leaders, the public and private sectors, and all citizens to cooperate to rationalize water use, and the importance of this water for everyone.

She continued, "Since 2017, USAID has contributed to various programs and played an important role in helping 12 million citizens access safe water, and has also helped various water projects. For the period 2020-2023, USAID has also contributed to the reconstruction of 10 desalination plants in Basra, as well as helping five million people in Basra access healthy water."

She added, "This long-standing partnership with the Iraqi government, and cooperation with UNICEF since the beginning of this year, has helped the US Agency secure 18 million people to enhance access to water as well as various water initiatives, how to ensure the availability of water and its optimal use, and better manage water resources."

She pointed out that $15 million was provided last June to help food programs, enhance Iraqi community preparedness, and reduce the impact of climate on water projects, in addition to other initiatives in which women and youth contributed, indicating that “access to water is an important goal in the sustainable development agenda, and represents a commitment between our two countries to protect cultural and knowledge exchange.”

She added that “the importance of the sustainable support strategy for water management falls within the framework of an important environmental need that may help today in addressing water scarcity, addressing the problem of food and water security, and confronting climate change,” stressing that “the support that we are all committed to today will help us in various fields through various partnerships, projects, and assistance.” /End5   https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1171022

The Monetary Position Is Very Excellent".. Central Bank: We Will Launch A New Mechanism For Travel Or Medical Transfers

Economy  | 11/25/2024  Mawazine News – Baghdad  The Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, announced today, Monday, that the monetary situation in Iraq is very excellent, and while he indicated that external transfers for trade purposes are proceeding smoothly after the implementation of the new system, he confirmed the existence of agreements with 4 companies to launch a new mechanism for travel or medical transfers.

Al-Alaq said, on the sidelines of his participation in the opening of the activities of the Arab Sustainable Development Week Forum in its fifth edition, held in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, and followed by "Mawazine News", that "there are trends within the government aimed at diversifying and strengthening the national economy, as the banking sector does not flourish except when there is a diverse production base,"

indicating that "Iraq suffers from heavy dependence on economic activity related to the oil sector, which contributes mainly to the transfer of oil resources to the trade sector, and this constitutes a major imbalance in the structure of the economy."

He continued, "In other words, oil revenues are transferred to building the economies of other countries through the large volume of imports, and this requires the necessity of activating the banking sector to provide the necessary financing to establish real projects in the basic economic sectors, especially in the industrial and agricultural sectors, in addition to other sectors."

Al-Alaq added: "I believe that this approach will contribute to reducing dependence on oil resources, in addition to providing job opportunities and real economic growth."

He stressed that "the monetary situation in Iraq is currently very excellent," noting that "the high volume of foreign reserves enables the Central Bank to support and defend the exchange rate and achieve monetary stability, despite the difficult circumstances surrounding the countries of the region."

He explained that "the Central Bank is working to find ways and means to meet all the needs of the country, citizens and the business sector for foreign currency."

He continued by saying: "Whenever the necessary conditions and factors are available for transfer operations or demand for foreign currency, the Central Bank is ready to deal with this request without any fears or concerns, which contributes to maintaining stability."

He stressed that "the Central Bank is currently distinguished from the rest of the countries in the region by its ability to respond to providing the country's needs for foreign currency, whether for the public or private sectors or even the civil sector, to meet various types of requests for foreign currency."

He pointed out that "there is a historical shift taking place in the framework of foreign transfers and meeting demands for the US dollar, as there were many observations that necessitated changing the procedures and policies related to dealing with and providing foreign currency."

He added, "The Central Bank has implemented a new system for foreign transfers to ensure their fluidity and transparency. Despite the challenges and difficulties that faced the implementation of these procedures at the beginning, we have overcome these obstacles,

and today the process of foreign transfers for commercial purposes is proceeding smoothly, which explains the general control over prices and inflation, as the Central Bank continues to provide dollars for trade at the official price."

He continued, "New channels have also been opened for transfers using other currencies, such as Turkey, India and China, in addition to European countries. This will make the process of foreign transfers more flexible and streamlined, while ensuring transparency and oversight that enhances trust and credibility in the operations we carry out."

Regarding providing remittances for citizens for various purposes, such as travel, treatment, or any legitimate transfers abroad, Al-Alaq confirmed, "Next year, we will launch a new method to expand and enhance these operations, just as we did for commercial transfers."

He pointed out that "there are also current agreements with relevant companies such as (Visa, Mastercard, MoneyGram, Western Union) to establish a new framework for implementing these operations, which will constitute another shift in controlling these operations."

Al-Alaq added, "Next year or the beginning of next year 2025 will witness the completion of the current procedures, and we seek to provide reassurance, especially with some people's questions about the fate of transfers after the completion of the electronic platform at the end of this year 2024."

“There is no sudden transition, but rather a gradual transition that began in 2024, where the banks’ relationship was transferred directly to correspondent banks without passing through other links, and the process has been completed with continued success,” he continued, stressing that “more than 95% of this goal has been achieved, and this process will be completed successfully within the next two weeks,” noting that “there is international anticipation to celebrate this occasion.”

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

NEW OIL-RICH MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRY EXTENDS SUPPORT TO BRICS

The BRICS alliance is gaining the support of oil-rich Middle Eastern countries in its aggressive global push towards de-dollarization. The bloc inducted oil exporting nations like the UAE, Egypt, and Ethiopia during the 15th summit in South Africa. It also invited Saudi Arabia to join the group but the Kingdom is yet to officially decline the offer.

As of 2024, the BRICS alliance controls nearly 30% of all the global oil supply. BRICS received a boost in the arms after it inducted oil-exporting countries into the alliance. It is now looking to take control of the oil and gas sector and push local currencies for cross-border transactions.

BRICS: Oil-Rich Bahrain Extends Support to the Alliance
Oil-rich Middle Eastern country Bahrain has extended full support for the BRICS alliance. 

Despite not receiving an invitation to be a part of the bloc, Bahrain has always attended the summits and programs held by the group. Bahrain did not receive an invitation to be a part of the ‘Partner Countries’ either which was sent during the 16th summit.

“We (Bahrain) take part in the BRICS Plus group’s activities. We always participate in all BRICS Plus meetings,” said the Middle Eastern nation’s Ambassador to Russia Ahmed Al Saati. 

The oil-rich nation is keen on supporting BRICS without being a part of the alliance. “This is an international association. An invitation should come from the organization itself. However, we have always been participating; we attended the Nizhny Novgorod event,” the Ambassador explained to Russian news outlet Tass.

The development indicates that emerging economies, including oil-rich nations, are keen on supporting BRICS. They find it to be an alternative to the Western-dominated global financial sector. This puts the Western hegemony at risk as developing countries are seeking alternative options to the US dollar.

RIPPLE NEWS: $3.8B TOKENIZED FUND LAUNCHES ON XRPL

Ripple and Archax just made a big move that could change how institutional finance works. Together, they’ve launched the first ever tokenized money market fund on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). It’s based on abrdn’s $3.8 billion US Dollar Liquidity Fund, and it’s a huge deal for anyone watching the rise of tokenized assets.

A Major Step by Ripple
This isn’t your everyday blockchain project. Ripple has invested $5 million into abrdn’s Lux fund tokens, signaling its serious commitment to real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. ]

Archax, being a UK-regulated exchange, adds the compliance and trust needed for institutional adoption. Ripple’s XRPL technology brings in efficiency, aiming to make financial transactions smoother and cheaper.

The best part? This is the first tokenized fund on XRPL. That means the fund gets all the benefits of blockchain, like fast settlements and less reliance on middlemen. It’s not just innovation—it’s problem-solving.

Why Tokenized Assets Are a Big Deal
Tokenized funds are growing fast. They already manage over $1 billion in assets, and experts believe this could skyrocket to $16 trillion by 2030. Ripple, abrdn, and Archax are getting ahead of the curve, setting the stage for how tokenized assets could work in the future.

And there’s more. Duncan Moir from abrdn says this isn’t just about technology—it’s about saving time and money. Moving funds on-chain means faster processes and fewer delays. Ripple’s Markus Infanger agrees, calling XRPL a leader in helping institutions scale their operations.

What to Expect Next
This partnership is just the start. As tokenized assets grow, more institutions will likely jump on board. Ripple and Archax are leading the way, showing how blockchain can reshape finance.

For Ripple, this isn’t just a win. It’s a statement. They’re proving blockchain isn’t just about crypto—it’s about transforming the way money moves globally.

Has “Dollar Control” Renounced Its Faith?
 
Economy    2024-11-24 |Source:  Sumerian   1,621 views   The dollar in Iraq : two decades of “leakage” and two years of “censorship”
 
The Central Bank of Iraq has concluded about two years since the start of tight control over the dollar through the electronic platform that was supposed to be a filter gate and a guardian eye for the green currency after years of piracy operations through innovative means through which the dollar leaked out of Iraq.
 
Currency “washing” window... 20 years and the Central Bank is an intermediary for “launderers” 

For about 20 years, the Central Bank turned into an intermediary between the source of dollar the US on the one hand, and the money launderers on the other hand... and  with forged bills and fictitious travelers, the dollar pirates were able to leak between 350 and 500 billion dollars over two decades, but,
 
in a moment of sudden awakening... it was discovered Everyone finally realizes that robbery operations, money laundering scandals , smuggling, and financing of suspicious countries and facilities are taking place with direct or indirect contributions from... The Central Bank of Iraq and several banks, whether with his work or without his knowledge.
 
75% of sales are “suspicious”... The electronic platform reduced sales from 5 to 1 billion dollars per month
 
The electronic platform began to be implemented in early 2023, but the actual restriction on the dollar began in November 2022, which led to a resounding decline from a monthly average of 4 to 5 billion dollars, to only about one billion dollars per month, which means that about 75% of dollar sales were unsuccessful. In the transparency test.
 
Sales returned to about $6 billion per month after 8 months
 
After that, sales returned to rise in mid-2023, recovering to their monthly average between 5 and 6 billion dollars, which the Central Bank interpreted as coming after the banks participating in the auction were able to improve their performance and provide sufficient evidence about the final fate and the legitimate recipient of these dollars.
 
Signs of “suspicious sales” return.. Central dollar arrives at “banned” banks
 
Two years of long testing, but the lesson seems to have not been understood well...
 
It seems that the process of selling the dollar has returned to the old days and has abandoned its new, “straight” religion.
 
According to members of the Iraqi Parliament, the Central Bank has sold quantities of dollars to banks prohibited from obtaining It is supposed to
 
banks Iraq's ...half of them are banned from the dollar, and 25% of them take over the auction
 
has Iraq more than 60 banks, half of which are prohibited from dealing in dollars, and
 
out of about 30 remaining banks, only between 12 and 16 banks participate in the currency auction, as
 
these banks control the currency auction and its external transfers.

Al-Sudani considered selling more than $200 million a day “irrational” and not suited to the market’s needs
 
Not only the MPs’ statements, but the numbers themselves raise doubts and doubts.
 
At the beginning of 2023, Prime Minister Muhammad al-Shia’ al-Sudani considered the previous sales of the dollar, which amounted to between 200 and 300 million dollars per day, to be exaggerated numbers, and not commensurate with the volume of supposed imports. After sales decreased to Only 50 million dollars a day.
 
Al-Sudani concluded that the market does not show the disappearance of some goods or confusion in trade, which proves that the previous amounts of sales are illogical.
 
300 million dollars a day...sales return to their “suspicious” level
 
But... after less than one year, how much are dollar sales today?... Nothing new...
 
Sales have returned to the levels that Al-Sudani himself criticized, as dollar sales currently touch $300 million per day, even though imports in the market do not show a significant change. About the previous...what happened?
 
$8.1 billion.. The Central Bank breaks a sales record in October 2024  
 
Perhaps no one knows exactly what is happening... except that the Central Bank has begun to break records in its monthly sales of the dollar.
 
Last October, the Central Bank broke a record in dollar sales amounting to more than 8 billion dollars, a number it had never recorded before.
 
In general, the year 2024 was the year of breaking records in dollar sales.
 
In some months, sales reached more than 7 billion dollars, after the normal average sales in the past two years were at best. It does not exceed $6 billion per month.
 
What the Central Bank sold in 2023 in dollars, it achieved in just 9 months in 2024.
 
In conclusion, in 2023 the Central Bank sold about 55 billion dollars, while in 2024 and until October, sales amounted to more than 65 billion dollars, and with greater scrutiny,
 
what the Central Bank sold during the entirety of 2023, it sold within only 9 months in 2024.

Good Morning Dinar Recap

NEW TEXAS REGULATION: CRYPTO MINERS MUST REPORT POWER USAGE

Texas mandates crypto miners in ERCOT to report power usage, aligning mining growth with grid stability and efficiency.

Texas introduces a new rule requiring crypto miners to report electricity demand to manage power grid stability effectively.

Global trends show varying regulatory responses to crypto mining, from New York’s temporary moratorium to China’s outright ban.

In a move to better manage its power grid amid the growing popularity of cryptocurrency mining, Texas has introduced new regulations requiring crypto miners in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region to report their power demand.

Announced by the Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) Chairman Thomas Gleeson on November 21, the rule mandates Bitcoin [BTC] miners to provide detailed information about the location, ownership, and electricity demand of their operations.

This regulation aims to ensure stability and efficiency in the state’s power grid as the number of mining facilities increases.

The necessity for such regulations comes as Texas continues to attract a significant number of crypto mining operations due to its relatively low energy costs and crypto-friendly policies.

However, the surge in energy consumption by these operations has raised concerns about the potential strain on the state’s power infrastructure, especially during peak demand periods.

By having a clear picture of the energy demands from crypto mining, Texas can better prepare and adjust its grid management strategies to prevent outages and maintain reliable energy distribution.

Global regulatory trends in crypto mining
Texas is not alone in its efforts to regulate the energy use of crypto mining activities. Around the world, various jurisdictions have started implementing similar rules to address the environmental and infrastructural impacts of this burgeoning industry.

For example, New York recently passed a bill that places a temporary moratorium on certain types of cryptocurrency mining operations that use carbon-based fuel. This legislation is part of broader efforts to align the state’s crypto mining activities with its climate targets.

Similarly, countries like China have taken more drastic measures by completely banning cryptocurrency mining, citing excessive energy consumption and environmental concerns as primary reasons.

These global shifts in the regulatory landscape indicate a growing awareness and response to the complex interplay between cryptocurrency mining and regional energy systems.

The new Texas rule is part of a broader trend where regional governments are scrutinizing the environmental and infrastructural impacts of cryptocurrency mining.

While more territories evaluate and implement regulations, crypto miners are increasingly required to adapt to these changing conditions. Compliance with such regulations not only supports local infrastructure but also pushes the crypto mining industry towards more sustainable practices.

As the BTC mining industry continues to expand, the introduction of regulatory measures like those in Texas is crucial for ensuring that growth is balanced with the needs and limitations of local power grids and environmental standards.

These regulations could set precedents for how other regions manage the intersection of technology, energy consumption, and environmental responsibility in the age of cryptocurrency.

HONG KONG’S ZA BANK IS FIRST BANK IN ASIA TO LAUNCH RETAIL CRYPTO SERVICES

Today Hong Kong digital bank Zhong An Bank (ZA Bank) unveiled a retail cryptocurrency trading service. It claims to be the first Asian bank to launch a retail service. Rather than building an exchange from scratch, like most banks, it is launching in partnership with an existing cryptocurrency exchange, HashKey Exchange

Initially the bank supports trading only in Bitcoin and Ethereum in both HKD and USD. For the first three months after activation, ZA Bank is offering 0% commission, with minimum investments of USD 70 or HKD 600.

The offering has been integrated with the main bank app. The bank cited a recent survey by the Hong Kong Association of Banks, saying it found that 70% of respondents would find it convenient to trade crypto via their banking apps.

“The rise of cryptocurrency presents investors with more diverse asset allocation opportunities,” said Calvin Ng, alternative CEO of ZA Bank. “As a bank, we prioritise security and compliance, which is why we’ve partnered with HashKey, a global-leading licensed virtual asset exchange, to meet regulatory standards and deliver bank-grade security in virtual assets trading – our key competitive advantage in the Asian market.”

ZA Bank is Hong Kong’s largest digital bank with 800,000 users as of June 2024 (Hong Kong population 7.5m). The company is owned by ZA Global, an affiliate of Zhong An, the large Chinese insurance company which was co-founded by the entrepreneurs behind some of China’s biggest technology firms – Alibaba, Tencent and Ping An insurance.

Other bank cryptocurrency services
While ZA Bank may be the first Asian bank to offer retail crypto trading, Singapore’s DBS Bank was the first to launch a crypto service almost four years ago, which it built in-house. However, the DBS Digital Exchange targets only institutional and accredited investors.

Probably the largest number of retail bank crypto services are in Latin America. Europe is catching up, especially with the enactment of the bulk of the EU’s MiCA crypto regulations at the end of this year. BBVA was one of the pioneers, starting a service in Switzerland in mid 2021, followed by the launch of Garanti BBVA Digital Assets in Turkey last year.

Tishwash:  MP: We need to extend the legislative term for 8 sessions and the budget is the top priority

Representative, Mohammed Al Shammari, called for extending the legislative term for 8 sessions, while stressing that the federal budget for the year 2025 is the top priority.

Al-Shammari told {Euphrates News} that: "There are important laws suspended within the House of Representatives, some of which are controversial and others need to be passed to serve the people."

He added, "The controversial laws that were included in one basket are the Personal Status Law, the General Amnesty, and the Popular Mobilization. In addition to these laws, there are laws in all the drawers of the parliamentary committees, including the Security and Defense Committee, where the Intelligence Service Law and Diplomatic Passports Law are ready, but due to these differences, they were postponed.  "

Al -Shammari continued, "The Personal Status Law is not binding on all the Iraqi people, and everyone has the choice to choose the law that suits their situation."

Al-Shammari stressed "the need to extend the legislative term to 8 sessions to compensate for what we missed in the last legislative term, and for the Parliament Presidency to prioritize the laws according to the needs of the people." 

He added, "I believe that the issue of the federal budget for 2025 and its completion for the next fiscal year is of utmost importance, and the parliamentary circles have the determination to approve the budget schedules, and we hope that the law will be passed in the coming days." link

Tishwash:  Kirkuk publishes lists of 369 families: Go to Article 140 office to receive compensation

From the expatriates to the governorate

Kirkuk 

On Sunday, the Article 140 Office in Kirkuk Governorate called on 369 expatriate families to visit it with the aim of completing the deficiencies in their submitted transactions and updating their data to obtain official documents and compensation certificates.

Kakarsh Sadiq - Head of Article 140 Office in Kirkuk, to 964 Network :

The names of the heads of households published in today’s lists are from families who came to the governorate and returned to Kirkuk several years ago. Their transactions have been completed almost completely, except for some deficiencies that must be completed.

The deficiencies we have indicated in the transactions of the 369 families are not the same, as each family has a deficiency in a specific subject, so their transactions cannot be completed except by visiting the office.

We are constantly publishing lists of the names of the immigrant families, informing them of the need to visit the office to obtain the compensation for this constitutional article, which amounts to 10 million Iraqi dinars for each family, or to complete obtaining the official documents for residence in Kirkuk. link

Tishwash:  Iraq needs to improve its investment environment to attract international companies

  $233 billion is the cost of stopping gas flaring in Iraq by 20402

A report by the international energy news website S&P Global revealed that the International Finance Corporation (IFC) estimates that Iraq needs investments of $233 billion to implement programs to reduce and stop gas flaring in the country by 2040, at a time when experts stated that Iraq must improve its investment environment to be able to attract international energy companies to help achieve this goal.

The report indicated that Iraq, which is considered one of the countries in the world that wastes the gas associated with its oil production by flaring it, was among the concerns of the climate change conference sponsored by the United Nations, with estimates that it needs investments of hundreds of billions of dollars to finance programs aimed at reducing and ending gas emissions in its fields.
According to estimates by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Iraq needs approximately $233 billion in investments to implement programs to reduce and end gas flaring by 2040, while manufacturing it and using it to improve self-sufficiency in generating electricity and protecting the environment from pollution.

According to the International Energy Agency, the goal of the Iraqi National Program (NDC) is to reduce gas emissions in the country by 15% by 2030, noting that 13% of that goal depends on international support and assistance.

“At COP29, on this particular issue, we are seeing real progress in moving from planning to action. Developed countries and international organizations are ready to help and support Iraq in this area,” Jonathan Bangs, a climate change policy advisor at the Clean Air Task Force (CATF), told S&P Global Platts. He noted that a top priority of the Iraqi National Program Framework is to stabilize the foundations of gas-flaring plants in oil and gas fields.

The report noted that capturing associated gas, in addition to reducing its contribution and impact on climate change, would enable Iraq to profit from its gas reserves and help provide sustainable electricity to its citizens, a vital goal in a country that suffers from power outages, especially in the hot summer months when air conditioning requires maximum power consumption.

In an interview conducted in March 2024, the Deputy Minister of Oil for Gas Affairs, Izzat Saber, said that in 2023, Iraq made progress in the process of collecting and processing gas, achieving 60% benefit from this process by collecting 7.8 billion cubic feet of gas.

However, information based on satellite images from that year indicated that 636.8 billion cubic feet of gas were flared, causing heavy gas emissions.

Evgenia Miburova, a researcher in the field of gas emissions, said that the quantities of gas flared are equivalent to the quantities of gas that Iraq signed over five years with Iran, which will export 642.4 billion cubic feet of gas to Iraq annually, and this quantity is not far from the amount of gas consumed in Iraq in 2023, which is 722 billion cubic feet.

“Iraq’s ability to meet its domestic gas needs will depend on the speed of implementation of gas processing plant projects and the launch of new gas projects, as well as the growth rate of gas demand,” researcher Meburova added. “In addition, collecting associated gas in oil fields not only reduces the rate of gas flaring, but also reduces the country’s dependence on oil alone, with the abundance of natural gas to feed power plants.”

Meburova said that this shift is important because burning oil fuel generates more harmful gases than burning associated gas. According to local figures, Iraq burned 267,000 barrels per day of oil fuel oil to generate electricity in August 2023. She pointed out that the Iraqi National Program plan also includes goals to improve control related to reducing methane emissions and switching from oil fuel oil to natural gas fuel to improve self-sufficiency in power generation.

However, experts point out that Iraq needs to improve and facilitate the terms of its contracts in order to attract investment, stressing that another obstacle is the need to improve the security environment and eliminate corruption, which always discourages investors from coming to the country.

Sara Vakhshouri, an analyst at SVB International Energy, says, “Iraq must establish clear investment laws and conditions that are far from routine bureaucracy in order to attract investor money.”

XRP LAWSUIT NEWS: EX-SEC ATTORNEY SAYS ‘NO SETTLEMENT’ BECAUSE GENSLER WON ‘HALF THE CASE’

XRP’s price surged massively following Gary Gensler’s announcement that he will step down as SEC Chairman in January 2025. This revelation has sparked speculation about whether the XRP-SEC lawsuit could come to an end before Gensler’s departure.

A social media user speculated that Gary Gensler and the SEC might offer a settlement before he leaves, in an attempt to avoid looking like total losers, or to at least make it seem like they had a win.

However, former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel responded, saying that the SEC has already won half of the case. He doubts the same commissioners who voted to appeal the other half would change their stance now. While it’s possible, he finds it unlikely and reassured that the case won’t get dismissed.

He wrote, “They already won half the case. I don’t know why the same commissioners who voted to appeal the other half would reverse course now. Possible, but seems unlikely.”

Conclusion: What’s Next For Ripple And XRP?

XRP has reached $1.5, with an increase in trading volume. Analysts are bullish, with some predicting a price surge to $2 in the near term. XRP is currently showing strong bullish momentum, and the launch of an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the U.S. could push its price even higher.

The recent rise is also fueled by new developments, such as the listing of physical XRP across major European exchanges. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, has expressed optimism about the future of XRP, especially with Donald Trump’s potential Treasury Secretary pick, Scott Bessent, which could further benefit XRP’s outlook.

According to lawyer Jeremy Hogan, the Ripple vs. SEC case could be resolved by spring or early summer 2025. Gensler’s exit may speed up the process and lead to a more favorable regulatory environment for XRP.

RWA Launchpad: The launchpad utilizes a tiered-staking mechanism, enabling users to stake $RWA and earn high APYs, allocation for launchpad projects, rewards, and early access to innovative ventures.
RWA Exchange: The exchange incorporates a tiered-staking system that reduces trading fees for investors and allows $RWA to be used for transaction fee payments.
Community Hub: While staking is not available, users can earn $RWA by engaging with campaigns, creating content, and participating in community-driven activities.
RWA Marketplace: In the forthcoming marketplace, $RWA will function similarly to the exchange, lowering transaction fees through staking and serving as a payment method for transactions.

In addition to its core functionalities, the $RWA token provides:

Governance: Token holders can participate in governance decisions, influencing the future development of the platform.
Access: The token grants priority access to launchpad projects, exclusive campaigns, and reward programs.
Liquidity: As the primary medium for transactions within the ecosystem, $RWA facilitates secure trading and ensures smooth operations across products.

They are focused on a specific profile of token issuers, starting with Web2 startups/scaleups from seed to B-series stage, who are looking for disruptive ways to raise capital for their growth companies. With a carefully curated pipeline of projects ready for launch. RWA Inc will likely start onboarding its first clients shortly after launch.

The companies’ revenue streams are generated through their tokenization service, launchpad IDOs, listing fees, staking mechanisms, and transaction fees paid in $RWA, creating a diversified and sustainable model for platform growth.

To further strengthen the ecosystem, 50% of the platform’s profit has been committed to a buy-back and burn mechanism, fortifying long-term value for stakeholders.

The RWA Inc project was carefully designed for long-term value generation and aims to lead the tokenized RWA market by example. This strategic approach has garnered the company traction in what is the fastest-growing market in the Web3 space.

XRP SECURES GOLDEN CROSS AGAINST BITCOIN, WHAT'S NEXT?

XRP has achieved a major technical pattern in its Bitcoin (BTC) pairing, forming a golden cross. This technical pattern, often seen as a bullish signal, occurs when a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term moving average. 

A golden cross happens when the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) crosses above the 200-day SMA, indicating potential upward momentum. XRP has been steadily gaining ground against Bitcoin in recent weeks. The recent altcoin bull run has seen funds flowing from Bitcoin into other cryptocurrencies, including XRP.

GOLDEN CROSS PATTERN EXPLAINED WITH EXAMPLES AND CHARTS

What Is a Golden Cross?
A Golden Cross is a chart pattern in which a relatively short-term moving average crosses above a long-term moving average. It is a bullish breakout pattern that forms when a security's short-term moving average (such as the 50-day moving average) crosses above its long-term moving average (such as the 200-day moving average) or resistance level.

As long-term indicators carry more weight, the Golden Cross indicates the possibility of a long-term bull market emerging. High trading volumes generally reinforce the indicator.

▪️A Golden Cross is a technical chart pattern indicating the potential for a major rally.

▪️The Golden Cross appears on a chart when a stock’s short-term moving average crosses above its long-term moving average.

▪️The Golden Cross can be contrasted with a Death Cross, which indicates a bearish price movement.

How Does a Golden Cross Form?
The Golden Cross is a momentum indicator, which means that prices are continuously increasing—gaining momentum. It means that traders and investors have changed their outlooks to bullish rather than bearish. The indicator generally has three stages.

The first stage requires that a downtrend eventually bottoms out as buyers overpower sellers. In the second stage, the shorter moving average crosses over the larger moving average to trigger a breakout and confirms a downward trend reversal.

Note
Support is a low price level that the market does not allow. Resistance is a high price level that the market resists. A breakout occurs when the price crosses one of these levels.

The last stage is a continuing uptrend after the crossover. The moving averages act as support levels on pullbacks until they cross back down.

The most commonly used moving averages for observing the Golden Cross are the 50-day- and 200-day moving averages. Generally, longer periods tend to form stronger, lasting breakouts. For example, the 50-day moving average crossover up through the 200-day moving average on an index like the S&P 500 is one of the most popular bullish market signals.

Day traders commonly use smaller periods like the 5-day and 15-day moving averages to trade intra-day Golden Cross breakouts. Some traders might use different periodic increments, like weeks or months, depending on their trading preferences and what they believe works for them.

But when choosing different periods, it's important to understand that the larger the chart time frame, the stronger and more lasting the Golden Cross breakout tends to be.

Iraq News Highlights and Points to Ponder Late Saturday Night 11-23-24

An Inside Look At Iraq’s “Fuel Smuggling Market”: New Developments And Smugglers “Suffering”

Economy   2024-11-23 | 1,627 views   Sumerian News-Economy   Economic platforms specialized in energy information in the world revealed that they addressed...Iraq To Iran, and the request to prevent the passage of smuggled fuel tankers through the territory Kurdistan To Iran, after reaching Iraq to deal By raising the cost of a barrel of oil for foreign companies, and restricting export Oil and fuel exclusively through SOMO.

Economic reports said that the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested the authorities to...Iranian Preventing trucks carrying “oil, black oil and other petroleum products” from entering Iran through border crossing areas in the region. Kurdistan Iraq Unless exports are licensed by Iraq's state oil marketing company SOMO, according to a letter dated Nov. 12.

Reports quoting market sources say that a movement Bitumen and other petroleum products through the Haj crossing Imran- Piranshahr has already stopped due to the new directive, but Parviz Khan and Bashmakh border crossings are still exporting bitumen, but if this message is fully implemented, the exports will Iraq Of bitumen will be cut off because these producers do not have a license from SOMO.

The restrictions are expected to remain in place until further notice, although some market participants have expressed doubts about the effectiveness of the strict measures. The directives are expected to affect crude producers in the Kurdistan region, which have relied on local sales since the main export pipeline to Turkey was shut down last year.

Foreign operators working in the Kurdistan They have been transporting crude to local refineries since the pipeline was shut down, but data suggests Kurdish crude is also being smuggled – by truck – across the border to Turkey, Iran and Syria.

Bitumen market participants  in Iraq The smuggling ban, however, comes at a time when domestic supplies are already tight, due to limited availability of raw materials from refineries.

Not only are high margins encouraging Iraqi refiners to blend vacuum distillation residues to produce high-sulfur fuel oil, but the long blockade between Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, which began before the Kurdish elections in October, has made it difficult for bitumen producers to transport vacuum distillation residues from refineries to their production units.

Despite a reduction in freight rates to $10 per tonne last week to encourage bitumen producers to transport vacuum distillation residues, down from $35 per tonne when the ban began, most Kurdish suppliers have refrained from offering new export cargoes in the past three weeks.

A few Indian importers said it was becoming increasingly difficult to secure Iraqi bitumen barrels due to a lack of supply, and some bitumen suppliers have decided to step down in the hope that export values ​​will rise in line with higher Iranian sea freight rates.

Limited availability of spare parts has pushed up production costs for Iraqi bitumen suppliers, with producers saying Iraqi barrels will be offered at above $340 a tonne FOB Bandar Abbas in the coming days, compared with around $322-325 a tonne last week.

OPEC Secretary General: Crude Oil And Natural Gas Are 'Gifts From God'

Energy     Economy News - Follow-up  OPEC Secretary-General Haitham Al-Ghais stressed that global warming talks should focus on reducing emissions rather than choosing energy sources, stressing during a speech he delivered at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Azerbaijan that crude oil and natural gas are “a gift from God.”

The comments came as world governments seeking to limit the damage caused by global warming in the Caspian Sea country met to try to reach a comprehensive financial agreement aimed at helping countries cut emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change.

Al-Ghais said in a speech he delivered at the conference hosted by Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, “Oil and natural gas are in fact a gift from God.”

“Today, nearly 180 years after the discovery of oil, specifically here in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, oil and its various derivatives still play a role in how we heat and cool our homes, build buildings, and move and travel from one place to another. Oil and gas remain vital to producers and consumers around the world,” Al Ghais said.

“These resources affect how food is produced, packaged and transported, how medical research is conducted and how medical supplies are manufactured and distributed. I could go on and on with an endless number of examples,” he added.

The statements of the Secretary-General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Haitham Al-Ghais, are in line with the opening speech of the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, in which he responded to Western criticism of his country's oil and gas industry, and also described these resources as a "gift from God."

He pointed out that the world's governments, which set a ceiling for the rise in global temperature during the Paris summit in 2015 of no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial revolution level, can achieve their climate goals without shifting away from oil.

Al Ghais also stressed that a balanced energy transition is the key to global sustainability.

"The Paris Agreement focuses on reducing emissions, not on choosing energy sources," he said.

OPEC said technologies such as carbon capture could address the climate change impacts of burning fossil fuels.

Mohamed Hamel, Secretary General of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum, also spoke at the conference on Wednesday in support of fossil fuels.

“As the world’s population grows, the economy expands and human living conditions improve, the world will need more natural gas, not less,” he said.

He added that he hopes that the COP29 agreement on international climate finance will allow support for natural gas projects to help countries transition away from more polluting fuels such as coal.

"The outcome of the conference should facilitate financing of natural gas projects and promote cleaner technologies such as carbon capture, storage and utilization," he added.

"This is essential to achieve energy transitions that are fair and inclusive and ensure that no country is left behind," he added.     https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=50114
