Frank26   Article: "Exporting the region's oil" on the table of Nechirvan Barzani and the Turkish Foreign Ministry"   FLOW OF OIL FROM TURKEY = A NEW EXCHANGE RATE... OR THERE WOULD BE NO FLOW!  ...You got Turkey that says, 'Ok we're going to send the oil in.'   At 1310?   No I don't think so.

Militia Man  The Development Road Project is not going away.  It's actually just picking up steam and we're seeing evidence of that...

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY:CBI...did deny any sanctions by the US Treasury on any Iraqi Banks or cards, saying we don't have no sanctions on any banking.  This is false news.  Iraqi citizens know who's doing this [reporting false news].  FRANK:  I figured that was what was going on.  All these rumors just didn't make any sense.  All these lies are obviously to stop what's about to happen because at the end of anything, the enemy uses desperate tactics in order to defeat goodness...IMO we will see lies and rumors everyday...just to...delay what Sudani is about to give to the citizens.  They want to prevent Sudani's monetary reform.

140K GOLD?!? What Will Happen if GOLD is REVALUED?

Silver Dragons: 2-19-2025

In this video I talk about the possibility of the gold that the USA holds being revalued. The USA apparently holds around 261.5 Million ounces of gold in their vaults.

This gold is currently valued at about $42 per ounce. What will happen if they change the valuation to $2,900 per oz? Will this cause the price of gold to go up or down?

 I talk about how in 1973 the US changed the price of gold on their book from $35 per oz to $42 per oz and did not have to sell any gold at all to do this it was simply an accounting gimmick.

The price of gold did go up 66% that year. What would happen if the US did a much larger revaluation of gold?

Would this help the USA pay off the national debt? I show how the US would need to revalue their gold to $140,000 in order to completely pay off the National Debt today.

I don't think that would happen but if they do revalue gold to $2,900 per oz I think this will weaken the dollar and cause the price of gold to go much higher.

Here is my video talking about the gold in Fort Knox and my opinion on it as well:

A Government Advisor Stresses The Importance Of Gold Trade To Support The Current Account Of The Balance Of Payments

The time: 2025/02/18 12:14:47 Reading: 2 ٬ 445 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} A government advisor stressed the importance of gold trade to support the current account of the balance of payments.
 
"The adoption of advanced industrial protection policies will positively reflect on the
     quality of the national gold product and the
     stability of its prices."

He pointed out that "this step will enhance the protection of one of the most important pillars of the national and family economy, with a direct and positive impact on the current account of the balance of payments." Saleh explained that
 
"the organization of the import of non-manufactured gold and its re-export will contribute to achieving an added value to the national economy," stressing
 
"the importance of careful supervision from the competent authorities to ensure the inventory of the gold movement within the framework of an economically organized trade, with high return and rational governance."
 
The Industrial Coordination Council had approved at its meeting the day before yesterday, Sunday, the resettlement of the precious metal industry, gold and jewelry, in addition to cosmetic products, while directing to provide all the necessary facilities for those wishing to establish their factories, and
 
it was decided to
 
     monitor the quantities of gold exported abroad, through controls determining The quantities are re-manufactured,
     submit documents to the central bank that provide the value of the external quantity, and

Gold Localization
 
Economic 2025/02/19  Yasser Al –Mitwalli   The government decision to localize the gold and precious metals industry is of great importance, as an important economic decisions, to consider gold, the pillar of the guarantee of the economy of any country of the collapses that may occur in periodic financial crises, and for causes of them naturally during periods of the economic cycle, and other political, as well as wars and others.
 
This decision comes consistent with what I dealt with in two previous articles published here in the "Al-Sabah" economy, as the first was titled (The forgotten wealth), in December 2024, and the second article was titled (Hedging with Gold a Safe Investment), in a month March of the same year (2024).

I was alerted to them the importance of taking advantage of global experiences in investing gold as an effective way to diversify sources of income and wealth, and as a safe alternative to the monetary reserve represented by the dollar, in order to avoid sanctions imposed by the American federalism on the countries, because it is the owner of the dollar currency, and there are many evidence and close to many of Countries.
 
This wealth has become forgotten and its page is folded after the world turned into a lack of evaluation of its currencies the size of its gold, and perhaps what brought back to mind the truth of the importance of this forgotten wealth (gold), the economic sanctions that some countries have been imposed by imposed by the great countries for various reasons, with the sanctions body Economic, and many examples available soon and not far from our current reality.
 
The nearest example that can be remembered is the embarrassing economic sanctions of Venezuela, which prevented the availability of what blocks the livelihood of its people, forcing its government to refer to the wealth of gold and act by selling it in order to confront the economic blockade that was imposed on it.
 
The expectations of economists also indicate that Russia may have to sell its gold reserves, as the last option in the face of US sanctions, if long.
 
This image became clear with the prolongation of the Russian-Ukrainian war, with the escalation of the ceiling of US-European sanctions on Russia, and Russia is also putting this possibility as the last option after the elements of confronting the siege and sanctions are exhausted. Accordingly, it seems that the
 
Iraqi government
 
     is trying to benefit from these bitter experiences, and therefore it
     decided to give the gold a priority to pay attention by localizing its industry and supporting workers in this sector as an optimal option.
 
The government's awareness of the importance of gold reserves as a guaranteed reserves in the face of emergency and critical conditions makes it offered this sector a great importance in the future. It is useful to note that
 
Iraq occupies an advanced rank in the cash gold reserves, as it is the fourth Arab and thirty globally, and by 152 tons of cash gold.
 
Perhaps the endeavor of the Central Bank of Iraq to increase the volume of Iraq's gold reserves reflects its importance in the balance and durability of the country's economy.
 
The new government initiative in localizing the gold industry will contribute to
 
     encouraging citizens to invest in gold, and
     restore the idea of ​​its acquisition of decoration and saving when needed, as
 
this decision will achieve economic feasibility by maintaining gold from exporting it abroad, providing difficult currencies as a result of imports, and providing job opportunities For unemployed youth in this profitable profession.
 
The next important step is that it is necessary to adapt and amend the laws and procedures necessary to facilitate the birth of this important industry in attracting capital, whether internal or external, which has priority to attract investors to invest in a safe and profit field.  https://alsabaah.iq/110413-.html

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

XRP NEWS: BRAZIL APPROVES WORLD’S FIRST SPOT ETF, LEAVING U.S. BEHIND

▪️Brazil becomes first country to approve spot XRP ETF, surpassing the U.S.

▪️Brazil’s CVM approves Hashdex Nasdaq XRP Index Fund, awaiting B3 stock exchange listing.

▪️Meanwhile, U.S. SEC delays XRP ETF decisions, awaiting Ripple lawsuit resolution.

Brazil has made history by approving the first spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), taking the lead ahead of the U.S. and other major markets. The country’s Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) has given Hashdex the go-ahead for its XRP ETF. Meanwhile, the ETF is set to debut on the B3 stock exchange, offering investors direct exposure to XRP.

XRP ETF Finally Gets Approval

According to recent reports, Brazil’s CVM has approved the Hashdex Nasdaq XRP Index Fund, making it the first spot XRP ETF to receive official regulatory backing.

However, established on December 10, 2024, the fund is now in its pre-operational phase, awaiting final clearance from the B3 stock exchange before trading can begin. Hashdex, the asset manager behind the fund, has yet to announce the official listing date.

This approval is a big step forward as more people worldwide show interest in crypto ETFs. Meanwhile, investors want safe and regulated ways to invest in digital assets, and Brazil’s quick action puts it ahead of many other countries in meeting this need.

XRP ETF Interest Grows Worldwide

Several major firms, including Bitwise, 21Shares, CoinShares, and Grayscale, have recently filed applications for spot XRP ETFs. However, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has yet to approve any of these applications.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg senior ETF analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas both estimate a 65% chance of approval but suggest that the SEC may delay any decision until its lawsuit against Ripple is fully resolved.

XRP Price Recorded 7% Gain

After Brazil approved the XRP ETF, the price of XRP jumped by 7%, reaching around $2.67 in the last 24 hours. This rise made XRP the best-performing asset among the top ten cryptocurrencies, with a 10% gain over the week.

Although recent data from Coinglass shows that XRP saw $8.20 million in future liquidations during this time. Out of this, $2.31 million came from long positions, while $5.69 million came from short positions.

Meanwhile, Key Market indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic Oscillator (Stoch), and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) suggest strong buying momentum, hinting at more possible gains for XRP.

TRUMP’S RADICAL GOVERNMENT SHAKE-UP TARGETS NASA, IRS, FDIC, AND DHS

President Donald Trump’s administration is executing a sweeping overhaul of the U.S. civil service, with tech billionaire Elon Musk spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Thousands of federal employees have been dismissed as part of this controversial restructuring.

Trump claims the initiative will save "hundreds of billions," though Musk’s team reports $55 billion in savings so far—less than 1% of the federal budget. Republicans praise the effort to cut what they see as bloated bureaucracy, while Democrats argue it threatens essential government services and middle-class jobs.

NASA faces 1,000 layoffs, while the IRS has identified at least 7,500 employees for termination. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have also begun dismissals. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is preparing to fire hundreds of senior employees deemed not aligned with Trump.

Critics question Musk’s authority as his companies, including Neuralink, remain under federal investigation. Lawsuits challenging his role have produced mixed rulings, with a judge recently allowing the campaign to proceed while raising concerns about oversight.

Trump further asserted executive power by ordering greater presidential control over independent agencies. Meanwhile, lawmakers claim transparency is lacking, with oversight requests going unanswered.

Defending Musk, Trump called him a “patriot” but clarified that he would not have decision-making authority over space-related matters. As mass layoffs continue across federal agencies, uncertainty looms over the future of government operations and thousands of public-sector employees.

In an interview with Baghdad Today, Sadiq said, "This step will contribute to revitalizing the local economy, and opening branches of these government banks is an important step to revitalize the local economy in Sulaymaniyah. These branches will also provide various financial services to residents and companies, which will contribute to stimulating investments and developing businesses."

She added, "The opening of banks will contribute to facilitating financial transactions, and citizens and companies will be able to conduct their financial transactions more easily and conveniently, without the need to travel to other areas. This includes withdrawing salaries, making money transfers, paying bills, and obtaining loans."

She pointed out that it "will contribute to increasing competition, and will lead to the entry of new banks into the market to increase competition between financial institutions, which may improve the quality of services provided and reduce costs."

It will also provide job opportunities, and the opening of these branches will contribute to providing new job opportunities in Sulaymaniyah, which will help reduce unemployment and improve the standard of living.

She added, "Opening banks contributes to attracting investments, and the presence of branches of government banks can contribute to enhancing confidence in the local economy, which may attract more investments to the region."

He said in an interview with Baghdad Today, "This visit is an important and excellent step that came based on the desire of the people of Sulaymaniyah and the Kurdistan Region," explaining in his answer to a question about opening branches of Rafidain and Rashid banks, he replied that "if it happens, it is considered an important step to ensure the disbursement of employees' salaries according to what was stipulated in the Federal Court's decision, and also an important step for other financial transactions that the people of the region want."

Ahmed pointed out that "there is a request to open other branches of Rafidain and Rashid banks in the governorates of the Kurdistan Region, and in independent administrations such as the Raparin Faqi Ranya Administration and the Karmian Administration." 

This comes in the context of the Federal Court’s decision to localize the salaries of Kurdistan Region employees at outlets spread across the region or banks open and licensed by the Central Bank of Iraq.

Tishwash:  Financial expert: Bond offering helps support Iraq's cash deficit

Financial expert and former Director General of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mahmoud Dagher, explained on Wednesday that issuing financial bonds helps support the cash deficit and is a debt on the government.

Mot:  ..... Remember That Contractor!!!!

Mot: I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest

Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken." She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else laughed. My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal.

I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again.

I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am. Today, my teacher asked me to tell her what famous person I admired most. I told her, "Colonel Sanders." Guess where I am now...

This Is the Max Number of Bank Accounts You Should Have

Self-Made Millionaire: This Is the Max Number of Bank Accounts You Should Have

Gabrielle Olya  Wed, February 19, 2025   GOBankingRates

In her book “Crush Your Money Goals,” financial coach and self-made millionaire Bernadette Joy writes that the first step toward achieving financial freedom is to “curate” your financial accounts. This means reviewing every financial account you have open — your bank accounts, credit cards, loans and properties in your name. Once you have a list of your accounts, it’s time to streamline them and consolidate them into 20.

 “When it comes to achieving financial independence, the fewer accounts you have, the fewer opportunities for mistakes or precious money to fall through the cracks,” she wrote.

Think of each of your financial accounts as a separate handbag,” Joy continued. “Having multiple checking, savings and investment accounts and credit cards is like carrying around an armful of handbags with just a little bit of money in each. It’s not efficient and it feels a little silly.”

While Joy recommends having 20 financial accounts total, your bank accounts should be a small fraction of that.

How Many Bank Accounts Should You Have?

According to Joy, you should have no more than three bank accounts — or four if you own a business.

Clare:  Kuwait decides to include Iraqis in electronic tourist entry visas

2/19/2025

 The Iraqi Ambassador to Kuwait, Al-Manhal Al-Safi, announced his thanks to Kuwait for the decision to include Iraqi citizens in electronic tourist entry visas starting yesterday, Tuesday.

 Al-Safi said in a statement to reporters on the sidelines of his attendance at the Japanese embassy’s celebration of the National Day: “This step comes as a culmination of the efforts made by the Iraqi embassy in the country in cooperation with the Kuwaiti authorities, and it also came against the backdrop of the success achieved during the Gulf Cup Football Championship {Gulf 26}, noting that this step aims to strengthen bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries.”

Regarding the mechanism for obtaining visas, Al-Safi explained that the same mechanism adopted by the Kuwaiti authorities for the entry of Iraqi tourists with a tourist visa has been adopted, adding, “It can be obtained by entering the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior website {Kuwait Visa} and filling out all the requirements for the entry visa, including the availability of a hotel reservation, or an address within the State of Kuwait.”

He added, “The validity period of entry with a tourist visa will be one month by land or air.”

On the other hand, the Iraqi ambassador praised the results of the eighth meeting of the Technical Legal Committee, which was held last Sunday in Kuwait in a positive atmosphere, noting that the meeting was held according to the agreed upon mechanism to hold it periodically every two months in the capitals of the two brotherly countries, as the previous meeting was held in Baghdad.

He stressed that the meetings are ongoing and take their time, and that each meeting produces new horizons, noting that pushing these negotiations forward reflects the desire of the two brotherly countries to move forward in drawing the roadmap.   LINK

Militia Man  Article:  “Britain: Iraqi government supports private sector, encourages international investment”  Iraq is making headway and the Iraqi-British Council see what Iraq has to offer for international investment and the private sector! The World Bank is in agreement! The signs of Iraq opening to the International Financial System are everywhere Al-Sudani Prime Minister of Iraq turns! It is truly amazing to watch take shape! All investors in the Iraqi dinar should be smiling large! I know I am.

Saleh on television…he says the Iraqi dinar will regain its strength and the exchange rate will return to balance sooner or later.  FRANK:  This is the Finance Minister telling the Iraqi citizens, ‘Hey, the Iraqi dinar will regain its strength’.  So you’re trying to tell us that 1310 is going to be soon removed… 1310 is an imbalanced rate.  What is balanced?  IMO anything at 1 to 1 and above… FIREFLY:  He also said this decision depends on completing the methodology of the financial and banking reforms.  FRANK:  Consider this the final countdown.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 2-18-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 2-18-25

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Tuesday, February 18th  and you're listening to the big call. Welcome everybody, all over the globe, wherever we're getting the call out to, which is really kind of cool, I know, let's say on last Thursday's call, we had over 11 million people listening live, and we have a number of people that listen to the replay, and that tends to put us up in that 18 to 24 million in that range. But thank you for listening, if you're out there. We appreciate you, wherever you're located all over the globe. Thanks for tuning in. And let's have a great call tonight

All right, let's talk about the Intel where we are. Now here’s my disclaimer, I should do this on every call, but I don't really think to do it. But you realize by now I have information that nobody else has -  I do bring it when it's applicable, when I can share it with you guys. We have contacts  - and I've told you guys in the past some of who these contacts are, and some of them are remarkable. They know  things, and sometimes they tell a thing that I just can't bring out on the big call.

But what I can tell you is, when I get information and it's verified, let's say, four or five different sources  that don’t know  each other - It's something that I take very seriously. And I think, oh, man, this is it - This is happening -  from this one, this one, this one, this one, and this one, and it's looking good, looking very good.

And so when I get enthusiastic and bringing out Intel. And just like last Thursday, I was just about calling it - I didn't even call it. I know it. I know and but it didn’t  happened yet, and even the information that we got from, I'm going to say, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, was indicating that we had, and this is what one of the sources said, we got a 99.9% chance of being notified today, Tuesday, today. Well, guess what? The 1/10 of a percent wonwe did not get notified today.

I think we were also told by another source that Tuesday, Wednesday would be blockbuster days for us, and Tuesday was not a blockbuster day yet. I don't think it's going to be – Now. Could Wednesday, Thursday be our blockbuster days, I think so. I think so –

We didn't get the final little push I wanted with Intel right before the big call. So I might get it before I stop talking tonight, or I might get it after the call tonight, or we might even get it tomorrow. I could tell you this much, the redemption center leader we talk to occasionally – when we’re able, was expecting an email at 715 this morning, and he got the email, and it said, “pending “ – “Be prepared to go in at a moment's notice”, that was into redemption Center as a leader.

Now,  as far as I know, there was one more email that he would receive that would be an assignment email that would tell him when to go in today, or whenever. My knowledge so far, we did not hear confirmation that that second email has come out. The first one was “pending” – “be prepared to go in at a moment's notice”, but that second email giving the assignment of when to go in did NOT occur, as far as we know today

 Now – could it occur overnight could it occur in the morning. Could it occur at 715 in the morning and then he goes in at eight o'clock or whatever. I think that's quite possible.

What I did hear was last Saturday. We've got sources in Iraq that we talk to - we did hear, that last Saturday, we were told that Wednesday, which is tomorrow, we should have the new revalued dinar rate in published into the official record of Iraq which they call the Gazette.

Now that would be tomorrow, early morning, if  that is still on. I think that looks good for us to get our notifications tomorrow. But Some sources say that Iraq publishing the rate in the gazette has nothing  to do with us getting this when we get it. I I know that Iraq has been called the lynch pin for years in terms of the RV, in terms of the GCR and everything moving forward.

So I think they're still very important, very much a part of having this go shortly after their newly revalued dinar rate makes its way into the Gazette, but I still think it's important for us. So that's what we heard last Saturday. Remember, we haven't done  a call since Thursday of last week.

So beyond that, we're also hearing that the hold up today, the fact we didn't get it today, might have something to do with Treasury getting out more USTN paper, new dollar, currency, United States Treasury notes into the banks, possibly the redemption centers, although I know banks and redemption centers got USTN currency in a year and a half ago and we know who delivered it

We know when they delivered it. We know roughly how much they delivered and it's was put in the vaults. And as far as I know, it's probably still in the vaults, but that new currency should be at the levels that they want us to have when we go in. And when will the USTN  be brought out?

I think it will be brought out on whatever first day it is that we go in for exchanges, which could be as early as tomorrow. It could be Thursday, if we got notified tomorrow, which is Wednesday. What did Charlie Ward’s guy  Roger, say to us? Roger said, it may not be Charlie Ward's Thursday, but it might be your Thursday, reflecting from Charlie and saying it would be our Thursday this Thursday.

Now, you know, I'm hoping that's correct. I'm hoping that's right. Maybe get notified in the morning, maybe tomorrow, when we set appointments for Thursday. I don't know at this point, it's not absolute - all I'm trying to do is give you what I'm hearing and weeding out things that don’t matter or are irrelevant to us.

Now I did hear, I did not see these two reports, but I understood that on NewsMax and on Fox, there were short reports about the R&R about restitution and reconciliation allowance.  Restitution and reconciliation allowance coming soon, coming very soon, and I've heard that R and R is going to be there for us that are going in for our exchanges - When we go in, we would have,  when we set up our quantum account, and we're doing our exchanges that they would have the R and R money to put into our account, into our quantum accounts.

Now, for people that aren't exchanging currency, that are of retirement age, which they're considering 60 years and older, you would receive your R and R funds restitution and reconciliation allowance. You would get the R and R money by direct deposit - If you're receiving Social Security -You would get in that bank account where you get your social - Now it's not the increase in social security - that's completely separate, but we're hearing that will still be for R, and R will still be this month.

It may come down to the last week of this month, at least right now, that's what we're hearing. And the same thing is true of the increase in Social Security.

We're hearing that increase is to occur the end of February. There's only 28 days, and today is the 10 more days to go. So I think it's interesting that a report on R&R made its way into Fox News and Newsmax today, I thought that was very interesting

I have heard that the maximum amount of R and R money, this would be for older individuals that paid a lot of money in taxes, already gotten married once or twice or three times. You know, there's a lot of variables right? Besides your birth certificate trading on that they trade on marriage licenses, traded on your divorce decree - spouse death, and she died or he died, that type of thing. There's money that comes from that in our own accounts. They've got it.

So I've heard the maximum, it's going to be in around $88 million but that money might come to somebody who's not even involved in the currencies at all. I don't think that’s where most of us will be. I think most of us might be, you know, half of that, or less than half of that, but it is something that helps to hydrate our population here, especially  over population

Now - Remember, we had the idea of two age groups, 30 to 45 – 45- 60 and 60 and older would get as a lump sum, right? Lump sum payment if you're 60 and over. Now they've redone that. And I think everybody that's under retirement age, which I think they're called 61 retirement age, anybody less than that from age 30 to 61 will get the R&R, whatever that total amount is for them at that age that they started at, which is 30 or 40 or 50, or whatever age you know you are, when you start getting it, you'll get it monthly until the age of 61 - you'll  get it monthly. The whole amount would be broken down into monthly payments

And if you’re younger than 60? I believe 61 you have to sign something that says that you will NOT quit your job - Or if you don't have a job, you get a job. Basically, they want us to be working and not to just get this and not work for a living. You know, it's going to be a nice little stipend, really every month - It sounds to me like  

I don't know how to calculate it for younger people that are 30 to 40 to 50 years old, but it's going to be a major deal, and it sounds like it still could go this month, but  why would they bring on the news R and R and the news on Newsmax and Fox today? I don't know, but I think it's interesting.

I think we're very close to getting all of this  - our blessing. Hopefully it's still tomorrow or Thursday that we get it the next couple of days, and then RNR would be there for us when we open our quantum account at the redemption center - we would be able to get the additional amount of the R and R.

So I think that's what I wanted to cover tonight. So guys, I wish I could do absolute on this. You know, I'd love to absolutely have it, have an 800 number to put out and call it a celebration call. That's what I was hoping today would be. But you know what might be Thursday that we have that celebration call?

It could be Thursday. I'm going to say what we need to do is stay enthusiastic for it. Have passion, be compassionate about the fact that we are that close and the fact that everything that President Trump doing and that Elon Musk is doing with Doge is for our benefit, he's finding waste, fraud and abuse in all government entities, all organizations,

I'm thinking, if there's anything else that was relevant to us and to our start. Like I said, guys, I wish I had that last minute Intel push that would tell us give us more secure feelings about the next two days, but because we had a 99.9% chance of being notified today Tuesday, and we didn't get it today.

 It sort of makes it look real strong for the next two days, Wednesday and Thursday. I'm hoping that, hey, I know you all are, remember, I'm just a messenger, and I'm doing the best I can to bring most relevant information that I receive. And sometimes we get a lot, sometimes don't get much of anything, and we just do the best we can to piece it together for you.

And so I'm excited. And you know what? Maybe we get notified and we start exchange Thursdays. We'll have a celebration called Thursday night. So let's just stay tuned and see what comes in, and hopefully we get notified. We can set appointments right away. All right, so let's do this. Let's pray the call out come off the recording regarding

So let's keep an eye out. Let's see what happens tomorrow, and we'll talk to you Thursday, hopefully with celebration call. All right, everybody, let's turn off the recording.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON LAUNCHES TOKENIZED U.S. TREASURY FUND IN LUXEMBOURG

Franklin Templeton, a leading global asset manager, announced on Wednesday the launch of its tokenized U.S. Treasury fund in Luxembourg, broadening access for institutional investors across Europe.

The First Fully Tokenized U.S. Gov’t Fund

Notably, the Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund is the first fully tokenized Luxembourg-based fund investing in U.S. government securities, as per the press release. This would mean that Shares in the fund are recorded and transferred on the blockchain using Franklin Templeton’s platform, improving efficiency, transparency, and security.

The fund operates on the Stellar XLM network and is available to institutional investors in eight European countries, including Austria, France, Germany and Italy, following regulatory approval in October. Notably, the U.S. version of the fund, launched in 2021, has gained over $580 million in assets but is only available to U.S. investors, according to rwa.xyz data.

European Investors Gain Access to Efficient Investment Option

This launch gives institutional investors in eight European countries access to a more efficient and transparent investment option. By using blockchain, it modernizes transactions and emphasizes the growing role of tokenization in finance. As real-world asset tokenization rises, it’s clear that traditional finance and crypto are merging.

Tokenized U.S. Treasuries are leading the charge in real-world asset tokenization, growing into a $4 billion market this year. Franklin Templeton was the first major financial institution to launch such a product, making it the third-largest tokenized treasury fund by assets, Hashnote’s USYC and BUIDL, issued by BlackRock and Securitize.

Franklin Templeton Expands Tokenized Treasury Fund to Solana

Recently, Franklin Templeton announced expanding its tokenized treasury fund to Solana. This move followed the registration of the Franklin Solana Trust in Delaware previously. The fund also known as Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX) was made accessible on eight blockchains, adding Solana to its previous networks, which included Stellar, Aptos, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, and Ethereum.

BRICS: RUSSIA EXPLORES MAJOR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE U.S

BRICS member Russia is exploring major partnerships with the U.S. to help its economy stay afloat. The Biden administration pressed sanctions on Russia in February 2022 for invading and waging war against its neighboring country Ukraine.

The White House sent billions to Zelensky through funds, warplanes, and military equipment. Despite receiving billions, Zelensky repeatedly demanded more and gained funds from the U.S. and the European Union (EU).

Russia is now eyeing deals with the Trump administration to save its economy from collapsing. The U.S. and BRICS member Russia discussed possible cooperation on energy projects in the Arctic during a meeting in Saudi Arabia.

Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the state-owned Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) confirmed that both sides negotiated some “specific areas of cooperation” and also discussed other economic policies in broad strokes.

BRICS: Russia & U.S. Look at Energy Projects in the Arctic Region

Dmitriev revealed that BRICS member Russia and the U.S. may initiate joint energy projects in the Arctic region. “It was more a general discussion — maybe joint projects in the Arctic. We specifically discussed the Arctic,” Dmitriev said. The discussions are yet to turn into official policy as both sides are weighing their options.

If the deal goes through with the U.S., BRICS member Russia could get an economic boost that could bolster its GDP. Russia’s economy has been stagnant and Putin was finding alternative options to settle trade. Trump made it clear that he wants the U.S. to dominate the oil and gas sector leaving no room for others.

Dmitriev said that BRICS member Russia is confident that a new energy deal with the U.S. could go through. Russia is “Positive after the Biden administration destroyed all of the communication, and destroyed all of the discussion,” he said. A new chapter in the energy sector could open up if the U.S. and Russia’s Arctic oil deal goes through.
