Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

SMART CONTRACTS ACHIEVE LEGAL BREAKTHROUGH IN ARGENTINA

Smart contracts, the blockchain-automated programs, are now legal in Argentina after local jurisdiction recognized the enforceability of the first one.

They can now be used to execute rental agreements, purchase payments, and other legal contracts, as cryptocurrency is now approved for use as payment in commercial contracts in the country.

Smart Contracts Reach Legally Enforceable Status in Argentina
Smart contracts, the automatically executed blockchain-based equivalent of paper contracts, have reached a milestone in Argentina.

According to local reports, the first Cardano-based smart contract was approved to be legally binding by Argentine jurisdiction, which might be the first time this has happened in the country and even the world.

The contract specifies a four-month loan repaid with a 10% interest between Mauro Andreoli and Lucas Macchia, two Cardano ambassadors in Argentina.

The loan was issued for 10,000 ADA (close to $3,430). Andreoli stated that, in practice, this contract formalization means that “any breach can be enforced in court for the performance of the obligation in ADA.”

However, due to the digital nature of smart contracts, the duo had to sign a legal document as a complement. This document specifies the details of the smart contract subscribed loan, the blockchain in which it was built, and the wallet addresses involved with the transaction ID. 

As this is the first time this has happened, this kind of document might also be required in other instances to legalize smart contracts.

Andreoli stressed the relevance of the event. He stated:

We did it, we just signed the first legally and judicially binding contract on the Cardano network, in full compliance with the laws of the Argentine Republic.

Andreoli believes the crypto community has to work on educating national judges to be accustomed to this new kind of contract, highlighting this event marked “the initial phase of creating favorable jurisprudence in the country and facilitating commercial transactions.”

Smart contracts are supported by President Milei’s Omnibus Bill, which legalized the use of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as part of commercial contracts in Argentina.

Andreoli concluded that smart contracts can now be used to formalize rent or purchase agreements and other legal contracts.

IOTA HOLDERS BRACE FOR 100% PUMP WITH POTENTIAL RWA REVEAL ON OCTOBER 15

▪️IOTA has teased an announcement on Tuesday, October 15, and the entire ecosystem is holding its breath, waiting for what could be a landmark pivot or partnership.

▪️Many believe that it’s related to the tokenization of real-world assets, which IOTA has been focusing on in recent years, and that the result could be a 100% rally in the token price.

October 15 is a landmark day for the IOTA ecosystem, but few can say with certainty why. IOTA has teased a mega announcement for tomorrow, and the entire space is speculating on how massive it will be and what it will be on.

IOTA teased the announcement two weeks ago, and since then, speculation has been rife over what’s next for the project.

Some believe that it’s most likely related to the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), a sector that the network has been heavily focused on in recent years.

In an exclusive interview with CNF, founder Dominik Schiener revealed that he believes tokenization “is the silver bullet of cryptocurrencies” and that it’s “what’s missing in our current, highly digitized life.”

This has led some to speculate that the Tuesday announcement will most likely be about tokenization. If this announcement strikes the right chords with investors, the rally that will ensue will be massive, says Bit Whale, a crypto analyst on X.

IOTA: something is brewing and could see a 100% pump out of silence IF their announcement is RWA based on October 15 2024.

The analyst noted that it wouldn’t be the first time that IOTA had recorded a massive surge towards the end of the year. On November 23rd last year, it recorded a 130% rally, a fete that it could repeat tomorrow.

Additionally, the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure is set to make an announcement tomorrow about its verifiable credential service, which could be related to IOTA. After all, IOTA was one of the finalists in the European Blockchain Pre-Commercial Procurement, funded by the European Commission, as we reported.

IOTA’s Big Announcement
And yet, there are others who believe that the announcement will just be a start and that it will be a building block for future success.

This group has called on the community to manage its expectations, with one noting, “I’ve been thinking a lot about what the significance of October 15th might be. My gut feeling tells me that we shouldn’t expect anything major at first.”

He added:

Rather, I believe IOTA will undergo a nearly complete marketing overhaul. New website, new logo, etc. Once this rebranding process is completed, one thing will follow after another…We need traction, and then one thing must follow after another.

IOTA trades at $0.1289, gaining 3.6% in the past day for a $445.8 million market cap as trading volume saw a 20% uptick to start the week.

Your QFS Account:

Iraq News Highlights and Points To Ponder Monday Evening 10-14-24

Currency Auction Likely To Be Cancelled In Response To International Pressure To Combat Financial Smuggling

October 14, 2024  Baghdad/Al-Masala: As part of the efforts made to reform the financial and economic system in Iraq, the Central Bank is moving towards canceling the currency auction, in response to international pressures aimed at regulating the circulation of the dollar and reducing illicit flows.

At the same time, the digital banking sector faces challenges related to the lack of legal legislation regulating its work, in light of the growth of this financial technology. In addition, there is increasing oversight of the real estate and gold markets to prevent money laundering operations, with the imposition of new mechanisms that limit suspicious transactions in this field.

Financial analyst Safaa Al-Shammari said that the Central Bank of Iraq is moving towards implementing a decision to cancel the currency auction, noting that these measures come in response to international pressure and strict negotiations. Al-Shammari also highlighted the need to develop the legislative framework for digital banks, which have begun to emerge without sufficient legal oversight.

Speaking on a TV show, Al-Shammari explained that “the Central Bank of Iraq will work to stop the currency auction as part of its commitment to the conditions imposed at the New York meeting,” adding that “the United States refuses for the dollar to reach entities subject to sanctions, which affects unofficial import operations, especially from Iran and Syria.”

Regarding digital banks, Al-Shammari stressed the urgent need for legal legislation to regulate the work of these new financial institutions, pointing out that there is a digital bank in the Kurdistan Region that has not obtained a license from the Central Bank. He also pointed to tightening control over the real estate market to combat money laundering, adding that “the gold trade has also come under strict control to prevent any violations.”

Tightening control over the real estate market to prevent money laundering requires a set of regulatory and supervisory measures in coordination between financial and banking bodies and legal entities.

These measures include imposing financial limits on real estate transactions that require additional monitoring, such that any purchase or sale exceeding a certain amount is subject to intensive financial investigations to ensure the legitimacy of the source of the funds.

Buyers and sellers must also be required to provide documents proving the source of funds used in transactions, and here banks play an important role in examining financial accounts and detecting suspicious transfers.

Analysts say it is essential to create a national database for all major real estate transactions to track financial movements related to real estate, making it easier to detect unusual patterns that may indicate money laundering. Cooperation between banks and regulatory bodies should also be enhanced, with banks monitoring accounts and financial transactions related to real estate transactions and reporting any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities.

In addition, strict laws are required to require parties involved in the real estate market to disclose the identity of the beneficial owner of a real estate transaction to track down parties that may seek to hide illicit funds.

The analysis indicated that international asset auditing is also important to ensure transparency of foreign investors’ investments and cross-border transactions. Banks play a pivotal role in combating money laundering by examining financial transactions related to real estate deals and verifying the sources of large amounts of money used in purchases.  https://almasalah.com/archives/103271

Ministry Of Oil: We Export 1000 Tons Of Jet Fuel Daily

Monday,10-14-2024,PM 12:16  Taisir Al-Asadi  The Ministry of Oil announced the production of 2,500 tons of jet fuel daily, while indicating the export of 1,000 tons of it.

The Undersecretary of the Ministry for Refining Affairs, Hamid Younis, said, “The production quantities of jet fuel reached 2,500 tons per day, indicating that the surplus of local needs is exported through the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company (SOMO).”

He added that the export quantities amount to 1000 tons, noting that this achievement is part of a series of achievements in the refining sector.

He stated that “the process of exporting jet fuel is an achievement added to the achievements of the refining sector, and its importance lies in two cases: the first is maximizing financial revenues to the state treasury, which is part of the Prime Minister’s government program, and raising production capacities and exporting products in excess of consumer needs.” https://non14.net/public/171058

Iraq's Oil Exports To America Rise

Monday,10-14-2024,  Taisir Al-Asadi  The US Energy Information Administration announced yesterday, Sunday, that Iraq's oil exports to America increased during the past week.

The administration said in a table that "the average US imports of crude oil during the past week from 10 major countries amounted to 5.305 million barrels per day, down by 439 thousand barrels per day from the previous week, which amounted to 5.744 million barrels per day."

It added that "Iraq's oil exports to America amounted to 241 thousand barrels per day last week, up by 89 thousand barrels per day from the previous week, which amounted to 152 thousand barrels per day."

The administration also indicated that "the largest oil revenues to America during the past week came from Canada at a rate of 3.499 million barrels per day, followed by Mexico at an average of 382 thousand barrels per day, followed by Venezuela at an average of 315 thousand barrels per day, and from Saudi Arabia at an average of 285 thousand barrels per day."

According to the table, “the amount of US crude oil imports from Ecuador was 228,000 barrels per day, from Colombia it was 149,000 barrels per day, from Brazil it was 134,000 barrels per day, from Nigeria it was 44,000 barrels per day, and from Libya it was 28,000 barrels per day. https://non14.net/public/171055

Parliamentary Committee Reveals Reasons For Reducing The Region's Oil Production By Half

Posted On2024-10-14 By Sotaliraq  Member of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, Dhurgham Al-Maliki, revealed the reasons for reducing the Kurdistan Region’s oil production by half.

Al-Maliki said, "Iraq's export percentage has already been reduced by OPEC."

He added, "The Minister of Oil, Hayan Abdul Ghani, before he suffered a health problem, decided to reduce oil from the provinces of Basra and Maysan only, and the region remained at its percentage."

Al-Maliki pointed out that “keeping the region’s share of oil exports at its current level and reducing the share of the rest of the governorates is incorrect, and the share must be distributed equally among everyone.”

He added, "The reduction in oil exports cannot be limited to the southern governorates only, as it will cause problems for the income of the southern governorates."

Two days ago, the acting Minister of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Regional Government, Kamal Mohammed, announced that the region had reduced its oil production by half, at the request of Baghdad and as part of its commitment to the OPEC+ agreement.

During his participation in an energy conference in Istanbul, Mohammed explained that the Kurdistan Region has been producing 140,000 barrels of oil per day since September 2, 2024.[/size]

Iraq has consistently produced more than OPEC+ has set, and has promised to make up for the previous overshoot.

On September 26, 2024, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced the export of 105 million and 845 thousand barrels of oil during the month of August, a decrease of 2 million and 207 thousand barrels compared to July.

In turn, the OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Committee for Monitoring Production confirmed that Russia, Iraq and Kazakhstan fulfilled their obligations to compensate for the previous increase in production.

The Kurdistan Region’s oil exports stopped on March 25, 2023, after the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris ruled in Iraq’s favor in the lawsuit it filed against Turkey over the pipeline. Before that, the Kurdistan Region was exporting 450,000 barrels per day to global markets via Türkiye.

Mohammed pointed out that the Kurdistan Region lost billions of dollars in revenues due to the halt in oil exports, while Iraq itself lost more than 16 billion dollars, adding that “this is a situation in which everyone loses and no one benefits.”

Disagreements over contracts, the cost of producing a barrel, and the dues of international companies continue to hinder reaching an agreement between Erbil, Baghdad, and the companies to resume exports.  LINK

Taif Sami: The Regional Government Has Not Handed Over Its Oil Revenues To The State Treasury

Local | 10/13/2024  Mawazine News - Baghdad  The Ministry of Finance announced on Sunday that it will release 400 billion dinars from the governorates’ allocations, while indicating that the fluctuations in oil prices caused a problem in achieving revenues.

The ministry said in a statement received by Mawazine News, that “Minister of Finance Taif Sami appreciated the support of the parliamentary finance committee, its chairman and members, for the ministry’s work, while she presented a detailed presentation on the ministry’s steps to address the budget deficit and the problem of lack of funding.”

Minister Sami said, according to the statements, that “the fluctuations in oil prices caused us a problem in achieving revenues,” calling on “the finance committee to help the ministry with regard to the problem of non-oil revenues with the regional government, as it has not handed over its oil revenues to the state treasury since the Federal Court’s decision to pay the salaries of Kurdistan employees.”

She added, “The salaries of the region’s employees are estimated at 13 trillion dinars, as all that the Kurdistan Regional Government has paid is 320 billion dinars from its non-oil revenues.”

She pointed out that "financial allocations for the ration card and the food basket were secured, sufficient for the next six months, and that the improvement in oil prices was naturally reflected in the financing, as we will release today more than 400 billion dinars from the governorates' allocations." https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=255947

In Numbers.. The 2024 Budget And The Rate Of Iraqi Oil Sales

Time: 2024/10/14 08:02:11  Read: 1,326 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} The Prime Minister’s advisor for financial affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, stated that the 2024 budget, which entered into force, had a “precautionary deficit” of about 64 trillion dinars.

Saleh said in a press statement that the average Iraqi oil sales for 2024 are estimated at no less than $75 per barrel, noting that the general financial need for {bridge loans} (which are short-term loans) to address the possibility of a deficit may not exceed 10 trillion dinars in all cases, which are borrowing amounts permitted under Law No. 13.

The financial advisor added that the country's {financial life} in 2024 is proceeding smoothly, wondering, otherwise how did the Ministry of Finance issue 2024 in cooperation with the Central Bank of Iraq {Achievement Bonds} for public subscription?

Saleh explained that these bonds are denominated in Iraqi dinars and come in multiple categories, including a category of 500,000 Iraqi dinars for two years with an annual return of 6.5%, indicating that these bonds are a safe investment, as the government is committed to paying annual interest on them, and they are an integral part of bridging the deficit in the general budget for the year 2024, which means that they will come into effect.  LINK

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Monday Evening 10-14-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE EYES $16 TRILLION CUSTODY MARKET – PAVING THE WAY FOR XRP ADOPTION BY MAJOR BANKS

▪️Ripple’s enhanced custody services position XRP for adoption by major banks as the $16 trillion market expands.

▪️Ripple’s strong compliance and security standards, along with key partnerships, pave the way for widespread integration of XRP in the tokenized economy.

After Ripple expanded as Taiwan prepares for crypto custody trials in 2025, as recently reported by CNF, its presence in Asia strengthens with a major payment license from Singapore’s financial regulator. Ripple has taken a strategic step forward in the digital asset space by enhancing its custody services with new, bank-grade features.

Recently unveiled, these updates aim to serve fintech companies and crypto-native businesses with a secure and compliant platform. Ripple’s custody technology integrates with the XRP Ledger (XRPL), enabling the tokenization of real-world assets and facilitating low-fee trading on XRPL’s decentralized exchange (DEX).

Team Ripple highlighted in a recent press release, stating:

“Custody is a key entry point into the digital asset economy, and it’s only growing. The amount of crypto assets custodied is expected to reach at least $16T by 2030, and moreover, 10% of the world’s GDP is expected to be tokenized by 2030. As such, companies need secure, compliant, and flexible options to store their crypto.”

Additionally, Ripple introduced hardware security module (HSM) options and pre-configured policy frameworks to meet the growing demands of the digital asset economy.

This expansion aligns with the increased integration of blockchain in traditional finance, following a major announcement by Swift, which has sparked discussions around the inclusion of digital assets in global payments. Although Swift did not mention XRP directly, Ripple’s recent developments position it to benefit from this broader trend.

Growing Market Adoption and Regulatory Compliance
Ripple’s custody service has already gained significant traction, reporting a 250% increase in new customers year-over-year. The platform now serves leading financial institutions and crypto businesses across major markets, including the U.S., U.K., and Singapore.

Aaron Slettehaugh, SVP of Product at Ripple, emphasized the platform’s security and compliance standards, stating in the announcement,

“Ripple’s custody technology offers a single platform for safeguarding and managing digital assets, designed with the security and compliance standards that top global banks and financial institutions have come to rely on.”

To further strengthen regulatory compliance, Ripple has partnered with Elliptic to offer transaction screening services, enabling real-time monitoring and risk assessment.

Monica Long, Ripple’s CEO, emphasized the company’s enterprise-grade capabilities, highlighting partnerships with major banks like DBS, SocGen-FORGE, and BBVA. As the global custody market is expected to reach $16 trillion by 2030, Ripple’s enhanced offerings are poised to provide the secure and flexible solutions required for the rapidly expanding tokenized economy.

CENTRAL BANK OF BRAZIL INVITES APPLICATIONS FOR CBDC PILOT

The Central Bank of Brazil invites applications for its CBDC pilot, Drex, aiming to enhance the financial system through tokenization and exploring complex use cases from October 14 to November 29.

The Central Bank of Brazil opened applications on October 14 for companies to participate in the second phase of its digital currency (CBDC) pilot, Drex.

From October 14 to November 29, firms can submit proposals to contribute to the project to enhance Brazil’s financial system through tokenization.

Brazil Central Bank announced that the next phase will expand beyond the initial consortiums, as 13 complex use cases have already been approved. The new phase introduces more complex use cases, such as loans backed by custodial assets, carbon credits, agribusiness bonds, and foreign trade transactions.

Is Tokenization the Future of Finance? Brazil’s Bold Move Amidst Global CBDC Trends
According to a Valor report, this expansion follows the initial phase, during which 16 consortiums, most of them bank-led, tested the registration of the Brazilian real in a decentralized digital network. The project also explored tokenized federal government bonds.

The Central Bank has expressed interest in adding more participants and exploring advanced technology applications. Applicants will also continue testing privacy solutions, as previous efforts have yet to resolve the challenge of securely hiding transactions between participants on a scalable level.

In the previous phase, no company—among Zether, Starlight, Rayls, and ZKP Nova—resolved the issue of scalable transaction privacy.

At a recent event in Rio de Janeiro, João Pedro Nascimento, president of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), emphasized that tokenization is a permanent business model and that the crypto industry must operate in a “regulatory-complniat” manner.

He believes integrating blockchain into traditional financial assets can improve the distribution of investment products.

However, experts cautioned that blockchain technology is not a one-size-fits-all solution. George Marcel Smetana from Bradesco questioned whether disintermediation in blockchain actually results in tangible benefits.

Similarly, Jochen Mielke de Lima, CEO of B3 Digitas, also shared a similar sentiment and stressed the importance of governance in distributed systems.

He warned that removing central depositories could pose risks, particularly in managing liens and asset ownership.

Brazil Accelerates CBDC Development and Open Finance Initiative
Brazil is pushing forward with its Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) initiative, Drex, while also accelerating tokenization through an Open Finance platform.

As part of a global trend, Brazil is among 65 countries in the advanced stages of CBDC development. China’s digital renminbi (e-CNY) has already recorded 180 million personal wallets and over 7.3 trillion Yuan ($1.02 trillion) in transactions as of October 11.

In addition to its CBDC efforts, Brazil is set to enhance its nationwide tokenization initiatives through an Open Finance platform. The central bank envisions this platform as a marketplace that offers users various banking and payment options, including CBDCs.

According to the central bank’s vision, the marketplace will promote “competition by channel and for principality” and greatly foster innovation in the financial sector.

Amid these government initiatives, private crypto firms are also working to expand digital asset payment options for Brazilians.

Notably, on October 3, Ripple announced a partnership with Mercado Bitcoin, a leading Brazilian cryptocurrency exchange.

This collaboration seeks to launch cross-border crypto payments, enabling businesses in Brazil to execute “faster, cheaper, more efficient” transactions globally.

Ripple stated that the new payment tool will allow for payment settlements in just minutes, providing a 24/7 solution for cross-border transactions.

TETHER LOOKING TO DIVERSIFY INTO COMMODITIES TRADING, OTHER TRADFI VENTURES

After reporting a record-breaking profit of $5.2 billion in the first half, Tether explores inefficiencies in credit for the commodity market.

Tether Holdings, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, is looking to expand beyond the crypto industry and explore new ventures in traditional finance (TradFi), including potentially lending to commodities trading firms, Bloomberg News reported on Oct. 14, citing CEO Paolo Ardoino.

People familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News that Tether is already in discussions focused on lending US dollars to commodity traders, a sector where access to credit is critical to sustaining the flow of multimillion-dollar shipments of oil, metals, and agricultural products.

Ardoino confirmed the rumors during an interview with Bloomberg but did not disclose further details about the plans or the amount the firm intends to invest in them. However, he clarified that these explorations will remain distinct from the firm’s core stablecoin business

While major players like Trafigura Group enjoy extensive access to credit lines — reportedly $77 billion from 150 institutions — smaller traders often struggle to secure funding. Tether’s alternative approach could prove attractive, as its loans are not subject to the regulatory conditions traditional lenders face, potentially speeding up transactions.

According to the sources, the company is looking at ways to expand USDT’s use in mainstream commodity trades globally, leveraging the liquidity and stability it offers, the report said.

Exploring new fronts
Tether reported $5.2 billion in profits for the first half of 2024, most of it related to the firm’s investments in traditional assets, such as US Treasuries, totaling $97.6 billion. The firm’s exposure to US Treasuries surpasses major nation-states, including Germany, the UAE, and Australia.

The firm has seen remarkable growth and maintains a dominant position in the stablecoin sector, with USDT approaching a $120 billion market capitalization, which will be a new all-time high for the stablecoin.

The recent foray is the latest in Tether’s efforts to channel its significant growth into new ventures.

Tether has been working on expanding to new sectors for several months now, starting with an expanded focus on artificial intelligence (AI) announced in March.

A month later, in April, Tether created four new business divisions focused on data, finance, power, and education. Following that, the firm made its first investment in neuroscience less than two weeks later by acquiring a stake in the brain-computer-interface company Blackrock Neurotech.

Feargus O'Conner Greenwood: Beyond the Illusion - Exposing the Lies Created by the Financial System

Palisades gold Radio:  10-14-2024

Tom Bodrovics welcomes Feargus O'Connor Greenwood, author of "180 Degrees: Unlearn the Lies That You've Been Taught to Believe." This conversation centers around understanding the financial system and changing perspectives.

Feargus wrote his book due to widespread deception and manipulation in society, aiming to expose deceit, break the hold of authority, and equip readers with effective communication tools. He believes that the financial system exists not for individual prosperity but as a tool to create money from nothing and exert control.

Money has functions and attributes, and Feargus stresses the importance of understanding its origins and creation.

Feargus discusses the historical manipulation of currencies by entities like the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve, arguing these institutions have caused economic depressions and perpetuated corruption.

He believes fixing the monetary system is essential for solving global issues and restoring free market incentives.

 He sees gold, silver, and crypto as safe havens against potential hyperinflation and anticipates a significant price move in silver due to increasing demand. Feargus discusses the potential for physical demand of metals to potentially break markets.

Technological advancements are also discussed as having potential impacts on the markets. Feargus believes Bitcoin will have a role as both a decentralized currency bringing freedom and like any tool has potential for tyrannical applications.

 The importance of truth, and understanding situations through a lens of proving what didn't happen rather than what did is explored. Feargus also discusses the concept of empire collapse and symptoms of decay.

False flags are defined as covert operations designed to deceive and identified by broken emergency protocols, hidden evidence, and perpetrators linked with intelligence services.

 Feargus discusses effective communication strategies to deploy when explaining non-mainstream topics. These include starting small, avoiding arguments, using analogies, and practicing active listening.

Feargus' book provides further insights into these strategies. The conversation concludes by discussing the importance of morality and ethics as essential elements for the survival of any society.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Afternoon 10-14-24

Government Advisor: Tensions And War In The Region May Lead To A Jump In Oil Prices

Energy  Economy News – Baghdad   The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, identified on Monday the indicators of the rise in oil prices in global markets, and while he attributed them to two basic variables, he indicated that if tensions and war continue in the region, a jump in prices is expected.

Saleh said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and reviewed by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the oil asset cycle is subject to accelerated upward volatility through current energy market indicators and two basic variables that affect oil supply and demand in the world: the first is OPEC+ decisions to reduce oil production on the production of OPEC countries themselves and their allies, as OPEC+ has currently implemented significant oil production cuts amounting to 5.86 million barrels per day."

He added, "These cuts consist of two parts: the first is a reduction of 3.66 million barrels per day extended until the end of 2025, and the other is an additional voluntary reduction of 2.2 million barrels per day that remains in effect until September 2024."

He pointed out that "the cuts come to remove the current oil glut, which is affected by the decline in growth in the world's most important energy-consuming economies, China," noting that "the second variable is the geopolitical situation and the war taking place in the two energy basin regions of the world, namely the Russian-Ukrainian war and the other is the ongoing war in the Middle East, especially the Gaza and Lebanon war with the Zionist entity and its effects on the oil-producing Gulf region, which dominates more than 50% of global oil exports."

He continued, "If military operations or geopolitical tensions continue in the two regions, oil prices are expected to jump."  128 views  Added 10/14/2024 - https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=48705

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

CBDCS VS CRYPTOS: WHY INDIA IS BETTING BIG ON DIGITAL CURRENCY?

India is working to revolutionize its cross border payment system. The aim is to make the payments faster and cheaper to help the growing economy. Along with this,  the role of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the concerns around AI is also in focus. These are reshaping the future of the financial sector. Let’s dive into what’s happening and how it might affect us.

Faster and Cheaper Cross Border Payments
Governor Shaktikanta Das is serious about reducing the time and cost it takes to send money overseas. This is important, especially for economies like India. For expanding Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) in India, he suggests using major currencies like USD, EUR and GBP. This can help in making smoother global payments.

Das also said India is looking into cross border payment systems. The government is exploring potential partnership with other countries to make cross border payments easier for everyone.

The Promise of CBDCs
CBDCs have huge potential. They could transform the way we send money, especially across borders. India taking a big step has launched CBDC in December of 2022. It is available for wholesale as well as for retail users. The government is also planning to integrate CBDC with UPI and provide assistance to low internet connectivity zones.

Governor Das believes that as cryptos are unpredictable, CBDC can be a safer option as it offers stability. This makes CBDC a better choice for everyday transactions.

AI in Banking
As AI becomes more common in the banking world, it brings both opportunities and risks. Das raised concerns about how AI could be misused. He warned that AI could lead to cyberattacks and data breaches if not handled carefully. Banks need to be cautious, using AI only when they have proper security in place.

But AI isn’t the only concern. Cryptocurrencies also pose risks to financial systems. Das is a strong supporter of CBDCs. He believes they can offer a more secure way to handle digital transactions, reducing the chaos that cryptos might cause.

What’s Next?
India is working hard to make big changes in the financial world. From making cross-border payments easier to promoting CBDCs, the future seems exciting. But there are risks, like the rise of AI and cryptocurrencies. With the right plans and smart policies, these challenges could turn into great opportunities, helping not just India but the global economy too.

SEN. HAGERTY'S DRAFT STABLECOIN BILL COULD SHAPE LEGISLATION IN 2025, TD COWEN SAYS

▪️Sen. Bill Hagerty’s bill could serve as an outline for regulating stablecoins in 2025, TD Cowen said in a note on Monday.

▪️Last week, Hagerty unveiled a discussion draft of legislation to create a regulatory framework for stablecoins.

U.S. Sen. Bill Hagerty's draft stablecoin legislation could serve as an outline for future bills in 2025, investment bank TD Cowen said in a note on Monday.

Last week, the crypto-friendly Tennessee Republican unveiled a discussion draft of legislation to create a regulatory framework for stablecoins. It includes a provision that says issuers that go over a $10 billion threshold may get a waiver from their federal regulator to then stay under their state's jurisdiction. The draft legislation also includes language around maintaining reserves on a one-to-one basis with reserves that have U.S currency.

"This draft bill should form the foundation for the legislation that we expect Congress to enact next year. This is even more likely if Trump wins as Hagerty is close to the former president,"  TD Cowen Washington Research Group's Jaret Seiberg wrote.

Hagerty is reportedly a potential contender for a role within Republican candidate Donald Trump's cabinet if he wins, either in a national security role or, as Punchbowl News reported in July, as Treasury secretary. Hagerty also is a member of the Senate Banking Committee, which has jurisdiction over key agencies, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  

Hagerty said his draft stablecoin bill is very similar to work being done by House Financial Services Chair Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., and Maxine Waters, D-Calif. Waters and McHenry have been working on their bill over the last two years. The bill advanced out of the Republican-led committee last year but has not gained much traction. At the time, Waters called the bill "deeply problematic" due to a provision that allows state regulators to approve stablecoin issuances without Federal Reserve input.

Bipartisan consensus over which regulators have oversight will be vital, Seiberg said.

"Key will be finding bipartisan agreement on which regulators will oversee stable coins. If Trump wins, prospects for this bill are even higher," Seiberg wrote in Monday's note.

Momentum on a stablecoin bill might still be picked up before the end of the year. Last month, during a congressional hearing, Waters said she wants to "strike a grand bargain on stablecoins" before the end of the year.

RIPPLE NEWS: WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THE SEC WINNING ITS APPEAL?

A federal judge ruled last year that the SEC did not prove Ripple violated securities laws by selling XRP to retail customers on exchanges. Recently, the SEC announced it would appeal this decision, and Ripple has filed a cross-appeal in response, adding another layer to the ongoing legal battle.

What’s Happening?
On the Thinking Crypto podcast, Lawyer James Murphy explained that while the SEC’s exact intentions are unclear, they are likely appealing two main points from the ruling:

Sales on Exchanges: 

The SEC aims to challenge the judge’s decision that Ripple’s sales on exchanges do not constitute securities transactions. This ruling shocked the SEC, as they previously attempted to appeal it immediately but were denied.

Disgorgement Limitations: 

The SEC also seeks to address a ruling that prevented them from claiming disgorgement (return of profits) because they lacked evidence of actual financial losses incurred by investors. This decision contrasts with precedents in other circuits, and the SEC hopes to overturn this limitation.

Additionally, there’s speculation about whether the SEC will appeal the $125 million penalty imposed on Ripple, seeking a higher amount. However, it’s uncertain if this part of the ruling would be changed since judges have significant discretion in determining penalties.

How Strong is the SEC’s Case?
Murphy shared his perspective on the likelihood of the SEC winning the appeal. There are about 20 judges on the Second Circuit, and cases are decided by a randomly chosen panel of three.

Once the panel is known, lawyers look at past decisions to guess how they might lean. Sometimes, arguments are shaped to appeal to specific judges, similar to tactics used in the U.S. Supreme Court.

He said that when the summary judgment came out, many people criticized it, and some legal experts predicted it would be overturned. Lawyers from traditional backgrounds believe there’s a chance the ruling on secondary market trades might be reversed. However, he thinks Judge Torres’s decision will likely stand, although nothing is certain.

6 Frugal Habits of the Super Rich and Famous

6 Frugal Habits of the Super Rich and Famous

Caitlyn Moorhead  Mon, October 14, 2024  GOBankingRates

In order for you to live frugally, you might want to take a page out of the super-rich. Though it may seem counterintuitive, wealthy people often practice a frugal lifestyle as they only spend their money when they see that money’s worth. In other words, they don’t just throw their money around, but rather make it work for them by forming healthy habits.

No matter if they are just making a good living or they have the net worth of Warren Buffett, the super-rich are also often frugal people. It’s not necessarily about clipping coupons or not using your credit cards, but it is about reshaping your spending habits in order to meet your long-term financial goals. Here are six ways millionaires practice a frugal lifestyle.

Pay Using Cash

Just because you have enough money to buy whatever you want, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t just stick with what you need. Next time you go to the grocery store, make a list and only bring enough cash for you to buy the items on this list. It will help you not make impulsive purchases and stick to your budget.

Try this practice every time you go shopping for clothing, household items or other specific things you can gauge the price beforehand. Only use the cash you bring on these outings and fight the temptation to use your debit or credit card to buy other stuff outside the budget you’ve set.

Pay Yourself First

Paying yourself first, or reverse budgeting, is when you create your budget around your savings goals and not your expenses. Here are a few key takeaways:

Allocate a percentage of your paycheck into savings each month.

Saving money can be done by setting up direct deposit so your savings are automated.

If you don’t want to directly deposit a percentage of your paycheck into a separate bank account you can also try setting up a recurring transfer from your checking account.

These automatic savings can pay future you in the form of investment accounts, retirement plans or IRAs.

You can spend what is left of your paycheck after savings on necessities and wants.

As your pay increases so should the amount you pay yourself each month in savings. Make sure to grow this annually to create a brighter financial future.

Travel on a Budget

Though there are exceptions, even the super-rich don’t always book the most expensive hotels or transportation accommodations. Instead, they opt to travel frugally and spend below their capability. All traveling frugally means is to not be wasteful with your money on your next trip- which often saves you the money you can then put toward other savings goals or even future vacations.

Live Beneath Your Means

Slight edits to your budget make a big difference has certain discretionary choices can save you hundreds per month. Being able to afford something doesn’t make it a good investment. Here are some ways you can live below your means like the rich do:
