Warning Against The Consequences Of Canceling The Dollar Selling Platform In Iraq.. The Green Currency Is Hostage To Jordan And The Gulf States

Financial and economic affairs expert Mustafa Akram Hantoush warned today, Thursday (December 5, 2024), of the consequences of canceling the dollar selling platform to merchants during the next stage, according to what was announced by the Central Bank of Iraq.

Hantoush, a journalist, said, "The Central Bank of Iraq must know very well that the collapse of the Iraqi banking system and the punishment of (32) Iraqi banks without a clear charge over a period of a year and a half is not normal, and from the perspective of banking work, this may be the first incident in the world of this kind."

He added, "The worst thing is the lack of serious solutions from the Central Bank of Iraq to this situation, but rather the move towards cancelling the (fitr) platform by the end of 2024 and handing over the dollar file to banks affiliated with foreign investors and banks (Jordanian and Gulf), which gives the impression that this matter was planned from the beginning."

He continued, "The failure of the Central Bank of Iraq to find solutions for the Iraqi banking sector will fire the mercy bullet at the entire Iraqi banking system and it will become punished as a whole, which will lay off nearly 100,000 workers in the Iraqi private banking sector in favor of Jordan and the Gulf countries," noting that "in the absence of banking competition, the stability of the exchange rate becomes difficult due to the monopoly of the dollar by certain banks and may lead to new fluctuations in the exchange rate."

Hantoush wondered: "Why is the work of the (Fitr) platform not being extended in coordination with the new US administration? Also, why are Iraqi banks not guaranteed to open an account for themselves in correspondent banks in dollars (Citibank/JP Morgan) as the countries of the region have done?"

He pointed out that "the surprising thing is that, until now, the mechanism for cooperation and auditing with Ernst & Young has not been determined or announced regarding transfers in currencies other than the dollar (euro - yuan - lira - dirham), nor have the results of the agreement and contract with Oliver Wyman regarding the (32) sanctioned banks and what their fate will be have not been announced. This means that the banking situation in Iraq is facing many major crises, and the dollar will be difficult to control in the parallel market."    https://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/453500

Iraq Buys Gold In Large Quantities.. And An Expert Reveals The Reason

Time: 2024/12/05 Read: 2,691 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} An economic expert revealed the reason behind Iraq’s import of large quantities of gold.

Manar Al-Obaidi said in a statement received by {Euphrates News} that "according to data on exports from countries, specifically the UAE, which has become the largest exporter to Iraq in terms of value, we find that more than 42% of the UAE's exports to Iraq are gold."

He explained that "the main reason for importing these quantities is due to its use as an alternative to the dollar in trade exchange with some countries that are prohibited from dealing with banks, and as a result of the lack of cash dollars in the markets, it is replaced by importing gold from outside Iraq, and then trade is carried out using this metal."

He pointed out that "the expected value of gold from the UAE until the end of 2024 will be between 12-18 billion dollars, in addition to mobile phones, the volume of their exports from the UAE alone ranges between 6-8 billion dollars."

Al-Obaidi continued, "There are approximately 20-24 billion dollars in goods that are imported, which are not used for local consumption, but are reused in foreign trade exchanges."

He pointed out that "inflation rates in Iraq have decreased to less than 3% as a result of the ability to import goods from various entities that are prohibited from dealing with banks using gold and mobile phones."

He stressed that "the hedge that citizens are looking for for their savings in times of crisis tends to buy gold instead of keeping the local currency and also the disappearance of the cash dollar from the market."

The economic expert said, "As a result, Iraq has no alternative except by establishing an electronic clearing system between it and the countries that are prohibited from dealing with banks, and then there will be no need for these complex mechanisms to cover trade exchange without the need to go through the global banking system and the inability to cover imports from these countries."

The World Gold Council announced on November 6 that Iraq had raised its gold holdings to more than 152.5 tons.

According to a table published by the council for November 2024, "Iraq ranked 29th out of 100 countries listed in the table with the largest gold reserves," indicating that "Iraq ranked third in the Arab world after Saudi Arabia and Lebanon."

He added, "Iraq increased its gold holdings to 152.6 tons, after it had held 152.5 tons, which represents 11.5% of its remaining reserves."   LINK

 Oil Rises After OPEC+ Extends Output Cuts Until 2026

Arabic and international   Economy News - Follow-up  Oil prices rose slightly on Thursday after OPEC+ decided to postpone an increase in production until April 2025 and postpone the complete cancellation of cuts by a year until the end of 2026.

By 1424 GMT, Brent crude futures were up 40 cents, or 0.55 percent, at $72.71 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were up 40 cents, or 0.58 percent, at $68.94 a barrel.

OPEC+, which includes OPEC members and allies such as Russia, had planned to start easing production cuts from October 2024, but slowing global demand and rising production from outside the group have forced it to postpone those plans more than once.

"This will not lead to a supply shortage next year and a surplus is still expected," said Tamas Varga of oil broker PVM.

The gradual removal of the 2.2 million barrels per day cut will begin from April 2025, in monthly increments of 138,000 barrels per day, according to Reuters calculations, and will continue for 18 months until September 2026.

In the United States, a larger-than-expected drop in U.S. crude inventories last week provided some support to prices.

In the Middle East, Israel said on Tuesday it would return to war with Hezbollah if the truce between them collapsed, in which case it would launch attacks deep inside Lebanon and target the state itself.

US President-elect Donald Trump's Middle East envoy has traveled to the region to visit Qatar and Israel to push diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Israeli hostages before Trump takes office on January 20, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Afternoon 12-05-24

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

CITI, JP MORGAN, OTHERS COMPLETE TOKENIZATION SETTLEMENT TRIALS

Ten institutions completed simulated trials of the Regulated Settlement Network (RSN), exploring the use of a shared DLT network to settle tokenized transactions. It was an extension of previous trials of the Regulated Liability Network conducted last year, which included tokenized commercial bank money and tokenized central bank money on the same network.

This time tokenized Treasuries and investment grade bonds were also on the shared ledger, enabling delivery versus payment for wholesale transactions. The trials also explored interoperability with external DLT networks.

Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) acted as coordinator for the institutions involved, which were Citi, J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, Swift, TD Bank N.A., U.S. Bank, USDF, Wells Fargo, Visa, and Zions Bancorp, led by SIFMA.

The group published three reports on the business, technology and legal aspects and will hold a virtual briefing on the RSN trials at 1pm Eastern Time.

The Benefits of Shared DLT Ledgers

Shared institutional networks for tokenized assets are attracting attention for several reasons. If a tokenized Treasury is settled using central bank money on the same ledger, settlement risks are eliminated almost entirely. Smart contracts enable automation and straight through processing. And always-on networks allow for settlement outside of working hours and batch cut off times. That could prove especially convenient to assist overseas clients.

Five thoughtful use cases each demonstrated different benefits. While immediate settlement of Treasury transactions is risk free, institutions prefer net settlement to reduce cash demands.

Today just 20% of repo transactions are centrally cleared, but new SEC rules will require a far larger proportion. Hence, one of the use cases ran a central counterparty (CCP) using the shared ledger that offered multiple settlement windows during the day. That allows firms to settle intraday and take advantage of netting.

While the RSN could become a major network, the group recognizes it won’t be the only DLT network. So other trials explored interoperability with non RSN networks, either using Swift orchestration or via direct APIs.

For example, Mastercard has its Multi Token Network (MTN) which tested payments between two banks using MTN. The interbank settlement was performed on the Regulated Settlement Network (RSN) using central bank money.

Meanwhile, RSN trials used the Canton DLT from Digital Asset. Deloitte assisted SIFMA in coordinating the project and Sullivan & Cromwell provided legal input.

Contributors included BNY Mellon, Broadridge, the  Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA), Tassat Group, and the non profit MITRE Corporation. The New York Innovation Center (NYIC) at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York participated as a technical observer.

VANCOUVER MAYOR PUSHES BITCOIN AS RESERVE ASSET IN BOLD FINANCIAL PLAN

Vancouver is the latest city to join the discussions on adding Bitcoin to the government’s financial reserves. At a city council meeting on November 26th, Mayor Ken Sim submitted his notice of motion, where he plans to introduce his proposed Bitcoin bill on December 11th.

The city’s proposal is titled ” Preserving the city’s purchasing power through diversification of financial resources: Becoming a Bitcoin-friendly city. ” It aims to integrate Bitcoin into the city’s financial system and make Vancouver a “Bitcoin-friendly city,” using Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and promoting economic development.

Vancouver Makes A Move Towards BTC Adoption

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is taking the necessary steps to prepare the city for the blockchain. 

As a Bitcoin supporter, Sim is pushing for widespread adoption to hedge against inflation and promote economic development. In a November 27th meeting, Mayor Sim filed a motion of notice detailing his plan to present the proposal to adopt Bitcoin on December 11th.

Under the proposal, Vancouver will transform into a “Bitcoin City” and authorize the city government to diversify its resources to include Bitcoin. If the council approves, residents of Canada’s third-largest city can purchase Bitcoin.

However, it isn’t clear in the proposal if Sim also authorizes setting up a Bitcoin strategic reserve, similar to the one being pushed by US senator, Cynthia Lummis.

Mayor Sim And His Campaign For Bitcoin

Sim is one of the country’s most vocal supporters of Bitcoin. During the campaign, Sim’s party announced it would accept cryptocurrency donations. He explained that their commitment to blockchain technology demonstrates their plan to accept crypto as donations. He also teased the electorate that he will push for crypto-related policies if he wins.

Sim became Vancouver’s mayor in October 2022. During his tenure as city mayor, he rarely gave speeches or talks on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Interestingly, a book titled “The Bitcoin Standard” by Saifedan Ammous was seen in the mayor’s office during his interview with Global News on November 25th. Many observers pointed to this item in his office as evidence of the mayor’s interest in crypto.

Push For BTC Mainstream Adoption Intensifies

Today, Bitcoin continues to surge in price thanks to a growing mainstream adoption. Sim’s move to integrate Bitcoin into Vancouver’s financial system is just one of the many proposals reported recently. According to Jeff Booth, a blockchain author, Mayor Sim’s proposal aims to promote the adoption of Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

Aside from Vancouver, a few states and governments are working overtime to fast-track Bitcoin’s mainstream adoption.

 For example, the state of Florida plans to tap a portion of its pension funds and use it to buy crypto. Pennsylvania is also planning to set up a Bitcoin reserve. Then, there’s the city of Detroit, which teases a plan to accept Bitcoin as a payment option.

BRICS Bridge: Unlocking a New Era of Currency Sovereignty and Revaluation

BRICS Bridge: Unlocking a New Era of Currency Sovereignty and Revaluation

Awake-In-3D   December 4, 2024

How BRICS Bridge is challenging traditional financial systems to redefine currency values across emerging markets.

The financial world is undergoing a transformation, and BRICS Bridge is at the forefront of this change. By leveraging advanced blockchain technology, BRICS nations are challenging traditional financial systems and reshaping how currencies are valued. This advanced initiative aims to foster monetary sovereignty, reduce dependence on the US dollar, and unlock new opportunities for emerging markets.

With its promise to streamline cross-border transactions and promote fairer currency valuations, BRICS Bridge could herald a new era of economic equity and innovation.

The Vision Behind BRICS Bridge

BRICS Bridge is more than a payment platform; it represents a strategic response to the financial imbalances perpetuated by reliance on US-controlled systems such as SWIFT and the hegemony of the US dollar in international trade. By fostering financial independence, BRICS Bridge aims to empower emerging economies with enhanced monetary sovereignty and reduced exposure to external geopolitical pressures.

One key aspect of this initiative is the potential to bring currencies from emerging markets into sharper focus. Through its integration of digital currencies and blockchain technology, BRICS Bridge provides a framework for transparent, efficient, and secure transactions, which is poised to influence the revaluation of participating nations’ currencies in the broader financial ecosystem.

How BRICS Bridge Could Trigger Currency Revaluation

1. Decoupling from the US Dollar

A central ambition of BRICS Bridge is to diminish dependency on the US dollar, which has long been the dominant reserve currency. For decades, the strength of the dollar has placed emerging market currencies at a disadvantage, often undervalued due to trade imbalances and external debt obligations denominated in dollars.

With BRICS Bridge enabling transactions in local currencies or digital equivalents, member nations can bypass dollar-based exchange rate constraints. This shift will lead to a recalibration of exchange rates, increasing the valuation of emerging currencies and reflecting their true economic potential.

2. Strengthening Intra-regional Trade with BRICS Bridge

By facilitating faster, cheaper, and more secure cross-border payments, BRICS Bridge has the potential to boost trade among its member states and partners. Greater trade volumes will drive demand for local currencies, naturally improving their valuation.

For instance, if Russia trades directly with India using the ruble and rupee through BRICS Bridge, it eliminates the intermediary role of the dollar. As these transactions scale, the ruble and rupee will result in more robust valuations, influencing regional currency markets.

3. Enhancing Financial Stability with BRICS Bridge

The ability to transact without reliance on Western-dominated systems like SWIFT mitigates the risk of external sanctions and financial isolation. This newfound financial stability is a crucial factor in the revaluation of currencies, as it increases investor confidence and reduces the risk premiums often associated with emerging markets.

For countries like South Africa and Brazil, participation in BRICS Bridge will safeguard their economic interests from the impact of geopolitical tensions, thereby bolstering their currencies’ standing.

The Role of Technology in BRICS Bridge

At the heart of BRICS Bridge lies blockchain technology, which underpins the system’s efficiency, security, and transparency. Blockchain’s decentralized nature ensures that transactions are immutable and verifiable, making it an ideal foundation for a trusted cross-border payment platform.

Additionally, the use of digital currencies and tokens further amplifies the platform’s potential. Unlike traditional fiat systems, these digital assets can streamline compliance processes by embedding regulatory checks within the blockchain itself, reducing delays and administrative costs. This efficiency not only strengthens trade relationships but also enhances the perceived stability of participating currencies, positively influencing their valuation.

Challenges and Uncertainties in BRICS Bridge

Despite its transformative potential, BRICS Bridge faces significant challenges. The United States has expressed concerns that such a system will undermine its economic influence and warned that cooperation with Russia’s financial sector will result in losing access to the dollar. These warnings underscore the geopolitical risks associated with implementing a multipolar financial framework.

Additionally, technical and regulatory hurdles are expected to complicate adoption. Differences in technological infrastructure, legal frameworks, and compliance standards among BRICS nations may complicate the system’s rollout. Addressing these challenges will be essential for the initiative to achieve its full potential and exert meaningful influence on currency revaluation.

A Comparison to the BIS mBridge Platform

BRICS Bridge shares conceptual similarities with mBridge, a multi-CBDC (central bank digital currency) platform previously overseen by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). While mBridge aimed to explore cross-border digital currency transactions, the BIS stepped back after the project matured, citing its readiness for independent development.

BRICS Bridge, however, is distinguished by its explicit focus on reducing Western financial influence and fostering alliances among emerging markets. This unique positioning aligns the platform more closely with efforts to achieve a Global Currency Reset (GCR), where emerging markets play a central role in reshaping the financial order.

Opportunities for Broader Participation in BRICS Bridge

The success of BRICS Bridge will depend on its ability to integrate additional partners from outside the core BRICS membership. Nations like Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have shown interest in exploring digital payment systems and blockchain-based trade platforms.

• Oman could serve as a critical conduit between BRICS and Middle Eastern markets.

• Saudi Arabia has already participated in digital currency initiatives like Project mBridge, signaling its openness to similar collaborations.

• The UAE has invested in Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and CBDCs to enhance trade flexibility.

• Bahrain could act as a bridge for smoother Gulf integration, bringing additional trade and financial flows into the system.

Expanding participation will not only strengthen the platform but also amplify its impact on currency valuation trends across emerging markets.

The Bottom Line

BRICS Bridge represents a bold step toward a more balanced and inclusive financial future. By leveraging blockchain technology to enable direct, dollar-independent transactions, the platform has the potential to recalibrate the valuation of emerging market currencies, enhancing their global standing.

While challenges remain, the initiative underscores a growing recognition among BRICS nations and their allies that the time has come to reshape the financial order. As BRICS Bridge progresses, it will serve as a critical component of the wider initiative toward a Global Currency Reset, signaling a new era of monetary stability and equity for emerging markets worldwide.

Walkingstick  Back in 2003 the reason why the auctions were put in was to stabilize the exchange rate of the Iraq dinar but it didn't work because of the thievery and stealing.  So we gave them the US dollar in order to do this but once again it got out of control.  Now on December 31 of this year these auctions are going to die...What will they use to maintain their currency stability?  IMO exactly what they've been teaching them...A basket of foreign currencies with a new exchange rate where the IQD will be paired against other foreign currencies, which they have already admitted to that they have...It means their currency will now be convertible in that basket with no restrictions...What would be an example of all of this?  The new lower notes.

Frank26  Question "Will there be taxes?  37% on short term - 20% on long term?" Yeah, that's about right,  somewhere in that ball park.  Ask a professional because I certainly don't know the exact tax code... Question "We had currency for a year or more and we decided to buy more, will we still have to pay 40%?"  Yes, every time you buy whatever you buy, your receipt verifies your time frame.  That's why your receipt is so important.  If you're ever audited you need to prove your time frame.  [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your tax professionals to determine the right tax for your unique circumstances.]

Half of Americans Feel Safer Holding Cash Over Other Investments

Half of Americans Feel Safer Holding Cash Over Other Investments. Are They Right?

Laura Bogart   Wed, December 4, 2024  GOBankingRates

These days, you can get the lowdown on virtually any kind of investment delivered right to your fingertips. You can Google information about stocks and instantly find articles, YouTube tutorials and explainers galore. Then there are the TikTokers sharing their stock picks. Or, if you really needed to, you could always ask Alexa — not the device, but your cousin, the financial advisor.

Yet, despite the abundance of investment information, a survey conducted by Empower suggests that cash still reigns supreme. Roughly 52% of people surveyed preferred to keep cash instead of exploring other investments.

At first glance, this information seems eye-popping. Can more than half of respondents really prefer stashing money in their wallets over growing it through investments? And is that even wise?

The answers are, unsurprisingly, more complicated than you might think.

Cash Can Feel Like a Safeguard Against Uncertainty

Safety is the name of the game when it comes to Americans’ passion for cash. About 49% of survey respondents said they felt safer holding cash compared to other investments. This anxiety is fueled by uncertainties in the market, particularly fears of a looming recession.

But everyday worries about being caught unprepared in an emergency also contribute to the “cash is king” mentality. About 69% of respondents said they carried cash for emergencies, while 59% appreciated the quick accessibility of being able to pull out cash — like Superman rushing out of a phone booth.

Interestingly, survey respondents showed equal enthusiasm for carrying cash as a safeguard for peace of mind and for its reliability, with 39% of people agreeing on both counts.

Your Passion for Cash Doesn’t Have to Mean Zero Growth

Good Morning Dinar Recaps, 

MISSOURI BILL WOULD BAN CBDCS, MAKE GOLD AND SILVER LEGAL TENDER

Missouri lawmakers have been trying hard to pass an anti-CBDC bill, and one of these days, they may succeed.

Attempts continue in the US state of Missouri to prohibit the potential use of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). The state has seen several bills this year to stave off the digital currency, which does not currently exist in the United States.

Bullion yes, CBDC no

Republican Senator Rick Brattin pre-filed Senate Bill (SB) 194 on Dec. 1. The bill introduces changes to state law that would prohibit public entities from accepting a CBDC or participating in any testing of a CBDC. It also changes the definition of money in the state’s Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) to exclude CBDCs.

In addition to the provisions on CBDCs, the bill would require the state treasurer to keep at least 1% of state funds in gold and silver. It would also exempt the sale or exchange of gold and silver from the state capital gains tax and make gold and silver legal tender.

“The act declares that gold and silver shall be accepted as legal tender at their spot price plus market premium […] in the state of Missouri. Costs incurred in the course of verification of the weight and purity of any gold or silver […] shall be borne by the receiving entity.”

Massive legislative anti-CBDC push

The bill’s provisions on CBDC are similar or identical to those in other bills introduced in Missouri earlier this year.

SB 1352 would make numerous changes to the state UCC, including a prohibition on CBDCs. It is still in committee. House Bill 2780 would also ban CBDCs and affect a variety of commercial transactions. It passed a House vote and has been forwarded to the state Senate.

SB 826 concerned CBDCs alone and failed to pass. SB 736 and its companion bill in the state House of Representatives concerned CBDCs and gold and silver and failed to pass. Brattin had previously introduced SB 866, which contained substantially identical provisions with differences in wording. It died in committee.

Anti-CBDC legislation is being passed in an increasing number of US states. Louisiana and North Carolina have passed laws to that effect in recent months.

The struggle against CBDC has been taken up on the national level as well. The US House of Representatives passed the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act on May 23.

BITCOIN ENDORSED BY US FED CHAIR POWELL AND RUSSIA’S PUTIN IN HISTORIC SHIFT

In an unprecedented turn of events, Bitcoin received endorsements from two of the world’s most influential leaders yesterday. US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and Russian President Vladimir Putin independently acknowledged the cryptocurrency’s growing significance during separate events on December 4, 2024. Their remarks signal a potential paradigm shift in the global financial landscape, as Bitcoin continues to gain mainstream acceptance.

Jerome Powell Compares Bitcoin To Gold

During the New York Times DealBook Summit, Jerome Powell engaged in a  conversation with Andrew Sorkin about the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking system. When questioned about Bitcoin’s rising prominence and talks in Washington about creating a strategic BTC reserve, Powell outlined the Federal Reserve’s perspective.

“From the jobs that we have, what’s relevant is really two things,” Powell said. “One is just, you know, what role should crypto assets be allowed to play in the banking system. We try to keep the banking system safe and sound. We regulate and supervise banks, and we would want the interaction between the crypto business and the banks to not threaten the health and wellbeing of the banks.”

Powell added that the other task of the US Federal Reserve is consumer protection. “We would want the public to know crypto products and things like that. There’s sort of a consumer protection aspect of it. They need to understand exactly what it is. But we don’t regulate it directly and we don’t have that big of a role.”

When asked if he would ever own Bitcoin himself, Powell succinctly replied, “I’m not allowed to.”

Sorkin then suggested that BTC might symbolize people’s faith—or lack thereof—in the US dollar or the Federal Reserve. Powell responded by likening Bitcoin to a traditional store of value: “I don’t think that’s how people think about it. I mean, people use Bitcoin as a speculative asset, right? It’s like gold.

It’s just like gold, only it’s virtual. It’s digital. People are not using it as a form of payment or as a store of value. It’s highly volatile. It’s not a competitor for the dollar. It’s really a competitor for gold. You know, that’s really how I think of it.”

Vladimir Putin Highlights Bitcoin’s Resilience

On the same day, President Vladimir Putin spoke at the Russia Calling forum, where he discussed the diminishing dominance of the US dollar and the rise of alternative financial instruments. Putin emphasized the inevitability of new technologies like BTC in reshaping the global economy.

“The use of the dollar as a world currency gives the US a lot of money,” Putin stated. “Thanks to the dollar, the US continues to exploit other economies of the world for their benefit.

One thing is to prohibit the use of dollars and the other thing is not to use it. That is why we see (economic) processes with the use of other instruments.”

He pointedly added, “For instance, who can ban Bitcoin? Nobody. And who can prohibit the use of other electronic means of payment? Nobody. Because these are new technologies.

And no matter what happens to the dollar, these tools will develop one way or another, because everyone will strive to reduce costs and increase reliability.”

Putin also commented on the global shift away from the dollar: “Even the countries that are allies of the US reduced their currency reserves in dollars and in euros.”

Reactions From Community

The endorsements from Powell and Putin sparked immediate reactions from prominent figures in the cryptocurrency space. Vijay Boyapati, a former Google engineer and author known for his book The Bullish Case for Bitcoin, took to X to express his thoughts: 

“Jerome Powell calling Bitcoin digital gold is the biggest endorsement of Bitcoin yet, if you understand where financial power lies. Bigger than Fink or even Trump.”

David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc and advisor to former President Trump’s team—who was instrumental in turning Trump pro-Bitcoin —also weighed in via X: “The Bitcoin Space Race is here. […] It couldn’t be more clear what’s happening. It must be a national priority to stand up the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in the first 100 days of the Trump admin. We need an aggressive plan to grow USA’s proportional ownership of the Bitcoin supply.”

Tishwash:  Government advisor: The budget is hedged by the oil price at $70 and the deficit is 64 trillion dinars

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed today, Wednesday, that "the federal general budget No. 13 for the year 2023 (the three-year budget) is hedged by the price of a barrel of oil at $70.

Saleh told Al Furat News Agency, "Any increase in oil prices, assuming fixed production and export quantities, will lead to reducing the hypothetical budget deficit gap of 64 trillion dinars."

He  explained that "despite the above, reducing Iraq's share of production within OPEC + is supposed to remove any potential glut in the supply of crude oil in the energy market, which leads to prices being higher than what is estimated in the budget and may even compensate for the shortfall in the quantities of oil produced that were reduced at the same time."

The House of Representatives is scheduled to begin its session tomorrow, Thursday, with the second reading of amending the three-year budget law.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, during his hosting of today's session, called on the House of Representatives to expedite amending the budget law. link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

FED CHAIR POWELL VIEWS BITCOIN AS DIGITAL GOLD, NOT A DOLLAR COMPETITOR

Powell reiterated his remarks on Bitcoin being used solely for speculative purposes, not being a competitor for the US dollar.

The Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell dismissed the notion of Bitcoin as a replacement for the U.S. dollar, instead framing the leading crypto as a speculative asset comparable to gold.

Powell shared his insights during an appearance at The New York Times DealBook Summit in Manhattan, emphasizing Bitcoin’s volatility and limited use as a form of payment or store of value.

According to Powell:

“It’s just like gold, only it’s virtual… It’s very volatile, it’s not a competitor for the dollar, it’s really a competitor for gold. That’s how I think of it.”

Powell’s comments come amid heightened speculation about Bitcoin’s growing influence in global finance. Crypto recently achieved a market capitalization of $1.92 trillion, surpassing silver, valued at $1.75 trillion, to become the world’s eighth most valuable asset. However, it remains far behind gold, which holds an estimated market value of $18 trillion.

This is not the first time Powell has used this comparison to address Bitcoin. In 2021, the Fed chair said that crypto is not useful as a store of value due to its intrinsic volatility, with Bitcoin being “essentially a substitute for gold, rather than for the dollar.”

Under President Joe Biden’s administration, the Fed is accused of being pivotal in Operation Chokepoint 2.0, an alleged plan to hinder the progress of the US crypto industry.

In August, following a Fed mandate directed at crypto-friendly Customers Bank urging tighter risk management and compliance measures, Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss stated that the initiative “is alive and well.”

DeFi as ally
Despite Powell’s conservative tone toward Bitcoin and crypto as an asset class, Fed Governor Christopher J. Waller recently praised DeFi as an ally.

At the Vienna Macroeconomics Workshop on Oct. 18, Waller argued that intermediaries are still fundamental for the financial markets. However, he acknowledged that DeFi applications presented technologies that offer efficiency to traditional financial instruments.

He recognized the benefits of distributed ledger technology (DLT), tokenization, and smart contracts, which can enhance the speed and accuracy of financial transactions.

Moreover, Waller recognized at The Clearing House Annual Conference 2024 on Nov. 12 that central bank digital currencies (CBDC) are not helpful for payments, questioning whether the payments system has a problem that CBDCs could solve.

RIPPLE’S RLUSD STABLECOIN SET TO LAUNCH TODAY, WHAT’S NEXT FOR XRP?

The highly anticipated launch of Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin, RLUSD, is expected to take place today, December 4, 2024. However, Ripple is reportedly awaiting approval from the New York Department of Financial Services, according to local media reports.

What is RLUSD?
Ripple USD (RLUSD), a 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin, offers transparency and stability on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum. With the launch of RLUSD, Ripple aims to leverage both its stablecoin and native token, XRP, to enhance its cross-border payment solutions.

At present, Ripple Labs has warned investors and institutions to avoid engaging with any token claiming to be RLUSD or Ripple USD before its official launch to prevent falling victim to scams. Despite this warning, RLUSD is currently listed on the cryptocurrency data platform CoinGecko.

Since August 2024, Ripple has been beta testing its RLUSD stablecoin on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum’s mainnet. The firm has shared plans to gradually expand RLUSD to more blockchains and DeFi protocols in the future.

Will RLUSD Impact XRP Price?
Despite the RLUSD launch, Ripple’s native token XRP, has already gained significant attention over the past week. Furthermore, experts anticipate a notable upward momentum for XRP once RLUSD becomes available on exchanges.

Currently, XRP is trading near $2.55 and has registered a price decline of 2.55% in the past 24 hours. During the same period, its trading volume dropped by $28%, indicating lower participation from traders and investors amid a bullish outlook.

Ariel:  Breaking News…

And So It Begins (For Real This Time)

For those who have always been confused by the “So It Begins” Mr. Pool images with the multi colored mountain Ice caps.

Ripple, the company behind XRP, has partnerships with financial institutions globally. If South Korea’s situation leads to a need for more efficient cross-border payments, Ripple’s technology could see increased adoption.

Political instability or emergency measures like martial law can lead to increased market volatility. Investors might turn to cryptocurrencies like XRP as a hedge against uncertainty.

South Korea is known for being one of the more crypto-friendly countries. Any emergency economic measures might include or affect cryptocurrency regulations, potentially boosting XRP if Ripple’s efforts in regulatory compliance are seen favorably.

Many people do not understand. XRP is positioned as a bridge currency for cross-border payments, directly challenging traditional banking systems. Its rise could lead to significant shifts in how countries handle international trade and currency reserves.

Think about it. In general If there was a significant shift in the cryptocurrency market, especially with a major asset like XRP, leading to financial instability or a perceived threat to the national economy, a government usually considers drastic measures.

If South Korea is integrating blockchain technology like XRP into its financial system, such rapid changes could cause market instability, prompting drastic measures to maintain control. But ofcourse mainstream news will not tell you this. But the signs are there.

The declaration of martial law could be aimed at mitigating potential unrest related to a sudden shift in financial systems or the collapse of legacy systems tied to the rise of cryptocurrencies like XRP. Which we are all witnessing at this very moment.
