Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Monday AM 11-25-24

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.

economy    Yesterday, 15:18  Baghdad - INA - Amna Al-Salami  The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, announced today, Sunday, that the government is in the process of possessing a banking system based on the principles of a competitive market, while indicating that  
two international companies have been assigned to study the Iraqi banking market. Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA):
 
“The government strategy for banking reform began with the government banking sector under the supervision of the Prime Minister and is  based on isolating government financial operations from the activity of developing the banking market, given that the government banking sector in its current, traditional form dominates 88% of banking activity.” The country has made government banking operations mixed with market activity.”

He added, "We are waiting for the birth of a banking system owned by the government, but  

     based on the foundations of a competitive market in providing banking services and
     achieving actual financial inclusion and digital financial inclusion, and is
     consistent with the digital payments policy that our country has been pursuing vigorously for more than a year," pointing out that
 
"the private banking sector is the The other is going through an evaluation stage, and
 
there are opportunities for voluntary merger between more than one bank, among which there is an international strategic banking partner.” He stated that

     competitiveness,
     homogeneity,
     compliance and
     governance within the Iraqi banking market, and achieves the
     integration of the national banking market with the global market," noting that
 
"the entire issue is being closely followed by Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani after

assigning two international companies." By studying the Iraqi banking market and according to a new vision that is consistent with the national economy’s need for
 
     credit and investment and    mobilizing the public’s accumulated resources to ensure the national income cycle is more stable and efficient.”
 
As for the private sector, Saleh explained that “the launch of the philosophy of development partnership between the state and the private sector was embodied for the first time in the
government granting sovereign guarantees to the private industrial sector to collect global loans to finance production lines for the most important industrial projects from the countries of the European Union and Japan, which lead the future of development.”
 
Five levels of industries begin with ensuring financing of infrastructure industries linked to the path of development, the
 
     pharmaceutical industry,

"the government has not neglected to proceed with the national strategy for the private sector, which hopes that the
 
private sector's contribution to the country's gross domestic product will rise from 37% currently to more than 54% in the coming years, by

providing opportunities to nurture the private sector through financing support." Governmental development projects, whether through the

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.

COINBASE EXPLORES BLOCKCHAIN PARTNERSHIP WITH KENYA'S SAFARICOM

Coinbase is reportedly exploring a partnership with Safaricom to enhance M-PESA with blockchain technology. This move aligns with Coinbase’s broader strategy of promoting crypto adoption in Africa, particularly in Kenya and Nigeria. Coinbase is also working with the Kenyan government to foster blockchain development and education.

While regulatory uncertainties have previously hindered Coinbase’s operations in Kenya, recent positive developments and partnerships with local entities like Yellowcard suggest a growing interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology in the country.

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.

6 Valuable Everyday Items You Should Never Throw Away

6 Valuable Everyday Items You Should Never Throw Away

Justice Petersen  Sun, November 24, 2024 at 3:00 PM EST 3 min read

While it’s beneficial to declutter every once in a while, there are certain items around your home that, although they seem like everyday objects, can still hold significant value. Many seemingly worthless items may be better to sell, repurpose or recycle so you can help the environment, potentially make some extra money and use every item you’ve received to its fullest potential.

Listed below are six everyday items that you should never get rid of.

Empty Containers

Whether it’s glass jars, or stainless steel or tin cans, empty containers can last a long time and be used for various purposes besides their original use. These items can be repurposed as storage solutions for small household items, such as spices or craft supplies. They can also be reused for meal prep or storing leftovers. Additionally, certain containers can bring in a decent amount of money if you take them to a recycling program.

Unused Gift Cards

Many people stash away gift cards that have very little money on them. However, even these small balances can add up over time. By using these cards — or selling them on platforms that allow you to exchange or sell the unused balances on them — you can utilize these seemingly worthless items lying around your house.

Expired Coupons

Contrary to what one would expect, expired coupons may still hold value. Some retailers will honor an expired coupon within a limited timeframe or will offer similar discounts instead. Similar to unused gift cards, certain websites also allow the trading or selling of coupons, allowing financially savvy shoppers to get more use out of these items that would otherwise be thrown away.

Broken or Old Electronics

Though they may be broken or outdated, these electronics may be of some worth if you don’t throw them away. Some parts of old or broken electronics, such as circuit boards, batteries and certain metals, can be sold to electronics salvagers or people who enjoy fixing things up as a DIY hobby. Be sure to look into online marketplaces or recycling centers that will specifically buy electronics.

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.”

Clare:  In detail.. The Iraqi budget is subject to political and economic amendments on Tuesday

11/24/2024

The Finance Committee of the Iraqi Council of Representatives revealed, on Sunday, the details of amending the budget law included on the agenda of next Tuesday's session.

The agenda of the House of Representatives for Tuesday included the first reading of the draft law amending the first law of the Federal Budget Law of the Republic of Iraq for the fiscal years (2023, 2024, 2025) No. (13) of 2023.

Regarding these amendments, the committee member, MP Jamal Kocher, told Shafak News Agency, "The amendment to the budget law includes one paragraph, which is the cost of producing oil in the Kurdistan Region. The previous amount was very small, and after studying and discussing between the federal government and the regional government, they reached the conclusion that the estimate should be immediate to address and solve the problem, and it should be (16) dollars per barrel, until the final answer is obtained from the advisory committee specialized in determining production costs in coordination with the regional government and production companies operating in the fields."

Kocher added, "This amendment aims to solve the problem and re-export the Kurdistan Region's oil to the Turkish port of Ceyhan. There is a political agreement on this, and the political agreement stressed the necessity of solving this problem. Without the political agreement, this amendment would not have been presented in the House of Representatives, and it will be passed according to this agreement without any obstacles within the parliament regarding this increase."

For his part, member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Moeen Al-Kadhimi, explained that the paragraph amending the general budget law will be limited to Articles 12 and 13 related to the Kurdistan Region’s oil exports and revenues.

Al-Kadhimi explained that "Article 12, which will be amended in the budget law, relates to the costs of producing and transporting oil in the region, as the costs of producing oil differ in Basra and are calculated at $6 per barrel, while in the Kurdistan Region they are calculated at $20."

Militia Man  We had some information that came from here in the United States of people that have boots on the ground [in Iraq].  When I say boots on the ground I mean literally boots on the ground.  Having some of that information is key because they called today and said proudly that they affirmed they got information from the source in the military.  These guys are talking on TV, not just Channel One or Channel Three but many sources.  They're talking about helping the citizens.  They're going to bring them purchasing power. 

Frank26  Monetary reform education right now is at a very high peak where we can see very clearly.  Sudani intentions are very clear...Purchasing power is but only one of many things that he's bringing to you Iraqi citizens and the rest of the world will benefit from that generosity.

Why EU’s Currency Is DONE: Record Collapse & DeIndustrialization To Worsen In 2025

Sean Foo:  11-24-2024

The Euro just suffered a record collapse to its low in 2022. However, this fall isn't done and the crash could worsen in 2025. A rising China and Trump's trade war could send the US dollar rising higher. As a result, the Euro could crash further which could escalate deindustrialization as well!

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

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 INC ANNOUNCES $RWA TOKEN LAUNCH ACROSS MAJOR EXCHANGES ON NOVEMBER 25, 2024

On November 25, 2024, RWA Inc is set to launch its utility token $RWA on KuCoin, Gate.io, and MEXC, bringing years of hard work to fruition. Since its founding, RWA Inc has aimed to redefine how investors and businesses interact with real-world assets, by creating a trusted platform that bridges the gap between traditional markets and the Web3 space.

$RWA Token: Powering the Ecosystem

The $RWA token serves as the backbone of RWA Inc’s multi-asset platform, playing an integral role in the functions of its products and services. It supports staking mechanisms, reduces transaction fees, and powers user engagement across the ecosystem, including the Launchpad, Exchange, Community Hub, and the forthcoming Marketplace.

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.

IDO Fundraising Campaign

As part of RWA Inc’s launch it is actively raising $800,000 USD through a series of Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs). These IDOs are hosted on prominent launchpads Decubate, Eesee, and Ape Terminal, chosen for their reputations and ability to reach diverse investor audiences.

This multi-platform raise is designed to maximize brand exposure and offer investors the flexibility to participate using their preferred platforms. This approach effectively expands RWA Inc’s market reach, laying the foundation for a successful fundraising campaign and in turn, the next phase of the project development.

Exchange Listings

Upon the conclusion of the IDOs, the $RWA token is set to go live on three CEXs. This listing marks a pivotal moment for RWA Inc, with trading set to begin on November 25, 2024, at 10:00 AM UTC. Investors will be able to trade the token on KuCoin, Gate.io, and MEXC, three exchanges renowned for their global reach, reliable trading infrastructure, and support for innovative projects.

Go-to-Market Strategy

RWA Inc’s go-to-market strategy leverages its Launchpad for onboarding innovative startups and driving adoption of real-world asset tokenization. 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.

About RWA Inc:

RWA Inc offers end-to-end real-world asset tokenization through a cutting-edge multi-asset platform that includes tokenization as-a service, a launchpad, and a marketplace.

With a short-term focus on startup utility tokens for our go-to-market strategy, our primary emphasis is on strategically expanding into startup equity tokens, real estate, collectibles, and other asset classes via registered security tokens. 

As an innovator in the RWA niche, we help tech startups and established companies successfully launch utility and security compliant tokens and thrive in the Web3 market. Our approach addresses the need for extensive tokenization support for Web2 startups, fostering their dynamic growth potential. Our versatile solution aims to unlock opportunities across diverse asset classes, enhance liquidity, broaden market reach, support business development, and unlock asset value, effectively meeting market demands.

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.

19 "Don't Do It" Purchases

19 "Don't Do It" Purchases Older Adults Are Warning Millennials And Gen Z Not To Make

Alana Valko  Fri, November 22, 2024  BuzzFeed

We've all been let down by a purchase that didn't exactly meet our expectations.

And, in adulthood, buyer's remorse can sting a little harder — especially when those purchases become bigger and have more financial consequences.

Because none of us want to make the wrong bet, I asked older adults in the BuzzFeed Community to share the purchases they'd never recommend Gen Z'ers, Millennials, or any young adult make.

Here's everything they shared:

1."Don't buy extended warranties! Save your money. Over my 40 years of not buying them, there were only two times I might have been able to use one. Especially don't buy them on inexpensive items or on items like laptops where the technology changes so rapidly. Makes no sense."

2."Sort of a niche answer, but maybe someone will appreciate: Whole-life insurance is a rip-off. Super profitable for the company selling it. It's about 5x the cost of basic term life, and it comes with an investment account, but you can create the same setup yourself by buying the cheaper term life for 20% of the cost and putting the remaining 80% you saved yourself into your own investment account (retirement or whatever). You'll come out far ahead of where the whole-life policy would have gotten you."

3."Don't get hyped up by sales. They always tell you that it will end tomorrow, and it will, but the day after tomorrow, there will be another one. Pay when you're ready; prices will generally only go down (except for the new stuff). In some cases, be willing to go refurbished. You will often get something as good as the condition your new item would have been in after one month of usage."

Price tag showing a sale item originally priced at 179.00, now reduced to 129.00 at Manor. Includes barcodes and product codes

(Cont'd) "Fashion is idiotic. Looking trendy is expensive, and the only people you will lose as friends are the superficial ones (win-win). Everything trendy today will be out of fashion in 10 years or less, and this will rotate until the old fashions become the new ones again. Get clothing that is well made and comfortable for you, or at least the minimum needed for a work situation."

4."The latest tech device. Wait six months, and it will be cheaper. You may not even want it anymore, especially once the hype is over."

He added that Basra has three resources for distributing wealth in the budget, which are: regional development, border crossing revenues, and petrodollars. Basra may not be given its full revenues, which are according to the constitution, due to the financial situation and challenges facing the country.
