DJ: DID YOU KNOW?

With the new administration making bold and sweeping changes, adapting the proper mindset will be crucial for the success of their efforts. Governmental policy changes, in particular, have profound effects on economies, businesses, and everyday citizens.

When the status quo is ineffective, change becomes necessary to address systemic flaws and inefficiencies. Learning to accept these changes requires an open mindset, adaptability, and a willingness to engage with civic processes.

 Change is an inevitable part of life, influencing individuals, organizations, and societies in various ways. While it often leads to growth and improvement, it can also bring uncertainty and resistance.

That being said we can look at current events, as related to a GCR/RV, two different ways. One way to view it is, as long as all these mass changes are being implemented it would make sense to throw the GCR/RV into the mix since the public is already establishing the mindset to adjust and accept these changes.

On the other hand, it also makes sense for these sweeping changes to take root and level out, to be operational, before throwing in a currency revaluation.

Either way preparing the mindset for the global public to accept systemic financial changes will be no easy task. Most will obviously benefit from the changes but as in all things that change there will be those who are comfortable with the status quo and resistant to leaving their comfort zones.

Even if the “status quo” is inefficient, it has been the world they have learned to live in. New learning curves are rarely something someone wants to engage in. (Think about every time you had to get used to a new phone).

As the U.S. goes, so goes the rest of the world. When the U.S. makes changes other nations have to adjust, in one way or another, to our policies. Sometimes good. Sometimes not so good. But either way they have to adapt.

First you have to build the boat. (The boat is all the mechanisms and systems required to implement the GCR). Then you have to see if the boat floats ( Is everything working?) Then you send the boat to sea to cross the oceans. The boat has been under construction for years and is ready to see if it floats.

Puts a whole different meaning to the cliché “whatever floats your boat” doesn’t it?  DJ

Frank26   Iraq...is international without a doubt.  The problem is they have not release the REASON why you are international yet.  That will be a new exchange rate with a new denomination of currencies called the lower notes.

Militia Man   Article:  "Reform committee announced 22% growth in tax revenues with revenues reaching 4 trillion dinars."  Why is that important?  Remember Iraq's valuation is based off of oil...That's not true.  There's non-oil and there's tax revenues [now].  That valuation at $3.22 for the dinar back a long time ago was based off only oil.  Now they have non-oil.  They have growth.  There's not even talking about gas.  Iraq has a massive amount of revenue streams...Keep that in mind when it comes to the valuation - a real effective exchange rate.  Because they're going to be able to use real fundamentals...Take it seriously...This is for real...it's going to be big money and it's going to have a global impact.

MZ: Stay hopeful…..we will get to the end of this ….we don’t know the exact timing…but so much is lining up. Today is far better than a normal Monday morning.

Member: What happened to the spendable money bond facilitators had gotten last week? Any movement since then?

MZ: This is very unusual for a Monday Morning…but I am already hearing from Historic bond contacts. A number of them have bond contracts for later in the day tomorrow. They are expecting spendable money. So my fingers are crossed for the next 24 hours. Hoping we can cross to the other side of that bridge to track solid movement of bond holders themselves. Not just paymasters and facilitators.

MZ: It is very unusual to get information this early on a Monday Morning.

Member: I think we are possibly waiting for the audits of the UST, the Fed and Ft. Knox for us currency holders to exchange. ……..I don’t think they can do a reset without fixing our big financial system issues.

Audit Fort Knox Now: The Gold Currency Reset That Could Change Everything

Audit Fort Knox Now: The Gold Currency Reset That Could Change Everything

Awake-In-3D  February 22, 2025

Could missing gold at Fort Knox trigger a global currency overhaul? The future of the dollar hangs in the balance.

Could the contents of Fort Knox hold the key to the next global financial upheaval? Speculation is mounting that a long-overdue audit of America’s gold reserves could reveal unsettling truths—truths that might trigger a Gold Currency Reset and redefine the global economic landscape.

As questions swirl about whether the U.S. gold supply is truly intact, the stakes have never been higher. The outcome could either restore faith in the dollar or ignite a seismic shift that challenges the foundations of the international financial system.

The Gold Standard’s Legacy and the Foundation of Trust

The significance of U.S. gold reserves cannot be overstated. Until 1971, the U.S. dollar was directly tied to gold through the Bretton Woods system, with every dollar effectively backed by the nation’s physical gold holdings. This foundation made the dollar the linchpin of the global financial system, offering unparalleled stability and global trust.

However, the severing of the gold standard in 1971 fundamentally changed the landscape. Since then, the dollar has operated as a fiat currency, backed by the perceived strength of the U.S. economy rather than tangible assets. Despite this shift, gold reserves have remained a powerful symbol of national financial integrity and global confidence.

Today, the U.S. claims to hold approximately 8,133 tons of gold, with more than half allegedly secured at Fort Knox. Yet, doubts persist. Persistent rumors suggest that portions of these reserves were possibly sold off, leased, or otherwise diminished without public disclosure. If these suspicions prove true, the financial ramifications would trigger catastrophic consequences—potentially leading to the largest loss of confidence in U.S. financial history.

Opening the Vaults: A Defining Moment for Global Trust

The U.S. Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, has repeatedly assured the public that all gold reserves are intact, citing routine audits that allegedly verify the presence of America’s gold stockpile. A report from September 30, 2024, confirmed that these reserves remain accounted for, and senators are reportedly allowed to request inspections.

Yet, skepticism lingers. Why is there such a push for a public audit now? Why involve a figure as politically charged as former President Trump? These developments hint at deeper concerns within the political and financial establishment about global confidence in the dollar—and whether those fears might be justified.

If a comprehensive audit reveals missing or diminished reserves, the shockwaves would be felt worldwide. An empty or compromised Fort Knox would likely accelerate calls for a Gold Currency Reset, forcing nations to reevaluate their reliance on the U.S. dollar as the world’s primary reserve currency.

Gold’s Role in a Potential Global Currency Reset

A Gold Currency Reset is not just an economic theory—it’s a financial shift that many believe has been slowly building for years. Central banks across the world, particularly in China and Russia, have been amassing gold reserves in preparation for a possible transition away from a dollar-dominated system.

If the United States were found lacking in its own gold holdings, the repercussions would trigger a global financial realignment. Nations may seek to establish a new reserve currency backed by gold or a basket of stable assets. Such a move would dramatically reduce the U.S.’s influence on international financial markets and weaken its geopolitical leverage.

A discovery that Fort Knox’s vaults are empty—or even partially depleted—would be the spark that ignites this shift. Countries already wary of U.S. monetary policy, particularly the ongoing cycle of money printing and inflation, would likely take drastic measures to protect their economies from a potential dollar collapse.

The Revaluation of Currencies: Unlocking Hidden Wealth or Revealing Hidden Risk?

Beyond the potential for a currency reset, an audit would also force the United States to reevaluate the official value of its gold reserves. Currently, U.S. gold is still valued at a mere $42.22 per ounce on the Treasury’s balance sheet—a relic of an outdated system. Meanwhile, the market price of gold has surged toward $3,000 per ounce.

If the government were to revalue its gold reserves to reflect market realities, the implications would have enormous consequences. A revaluation would instantly increase the paper value of America’s gold holdings, potentially unlocking hundreds of billions of dollars to offset national debt or fund economic recovery efforts.

However, this strategy comes with risks. Revaluing gold would send a shock through global markets, causing other countries to follow suit. Such moves would dramatically alter currency exchange rates and destabilize financial markets in the short term. Worse still, if the audit revealed that U.S. gold reserves were lacking, any attempt at revaluation would likely backfire—accelerating a loss of faith in the dollar and pushing the global economy closer to a full-scale Gold Currency Reset.

What If the Vaults Are Empty? A Scenario with Global Consequences

The most unsettling scenario remains the possibility that the Fort Knox vaults are not as full as officials claim. If an audit reveals discrepancies, it would trigger the most significant monetary shift in U.S. history—surpassing even the collapse of Enron or the financial crisis of 2008.

Such a revelation would devastate global trust in the dollar, leading foreign governments and investors to dump U.S. Treasury bonds en masse. With foreign entities holding over $9 trillion in U.S. debt, a sudden selloff would crash bond markets, spike interest rates, and send the U.S. economy into a severe recession.

On the global stage, rivals like China and Russia would likely seize the opportunity to promote their own currencies—potentially backed by gold or other assets—as alternatives to the dollar. This shift would mark the beginning of a multipolar financial world, where the U.S. no longer holds the dominant economic position it has enjoyed since World War II.

The Road Ahead: Transparency as the Last Defense

As the world watches with bated breath, the pressure is mounting for full transparency. A comprehensive, independent audit of U.S. gold reserves would either reaffirm global confidence or expose vulnerabilities that would trigger unprecedented financial upheaval.

If the U.S. gold reserves are indeed intact, such verification would help stabilize markets, reinforce trust in the dollar, and delay or prevent the onset of a Gold Currency Reset. However, if the audit uncovers discrepancies, the financial system as we know it would be on the brink of a historic transformation.

In the end, gold remains more than a commodity—it is the ultimate symbol of trust in the global financial system. And as the world waits for the vaults of Fort Knox to open, one thing is clear: the results would determine not just the future of the U.S. dollar, but the fate of the entire global economy.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

MONTANA JOINS GROWING LIST OF US STATES KNOCKING BACK BITCOIN RESERVE BILLS

Montana joins North Dakota, Wyoming, and Pennsylvania in halting proposals to include Bitcoin in state reserves.

Montana’s attempt to invest public funds in Bitcoin was thwarted on Friday when a piece of legislation failed to gain approval in the House of Representatives.

House Bill 429, introduced earlier this month by Representative Curtis Schomer, sought to create a special revenue account allowing up to $50 million to be allocated for crypto, stablecoins, and precious metals

The aim, according to Schomer, was to diversify the state’s assets and potentially provide higher returns than traditional bond investments.

Even though Bitcoin (BTC) was the only digital asset to meet the criteria set by the bill with $1.8 trillion in market cap, it encountered strong opposition from lawmakers, culminating in a 41-59 vote in the House.

Montana now joins a growing list of states that have rejected Bitcoin reserve proposals, including North Dakota, Wyoming, and Pennsylvania.

While Montana has opted for caution, the push for Bitcoin reserves is gaining momentum elsewhere, with several other states moving faster than the federal government to integrate cryptos into public finance.

Roughly 19 state proposals are still pending, as per Bitcoin Reserve Tracker data, including in Arizona, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, and Texas, among others.

Utah’s Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendments bill, which allows the state treasurer to allocate up to 5% of public funds to digital assets, is still pending.

Arizona’s Senate Finance Committee has advanced a bill proposing to allow up to 10% of public funds, including pension systems, to be invested in crypto.

The bill now heads to the Senate Rules Committee for additional examination and, if greenlit, will proceed to the House of Representatives for further consideration.

Texas is also exploring two separate bills: one permitting up to 1% of the general revenue fund to be allocated to Bitcoin and another focused on Bitcoin donations and crypto payment conversions.

Meanwhile, countries such as Switzerland, Brazil, Japan, and Russia are also exploring the potential of using Bitcoin as part of their national reserve strategies.

GEORGIA INTRODUCES NEW BITCOIN RESERVE BILL

Yet another strategic Bitcoin reserve (SBR) bill has been submitted to the Georgia Senate.  Notably, the legislative effort (SB 228) was introduced by the Democrats.  The bill has emerged as a partisan competitor to the SBR bill that was put forward by the Republicans (SB 178) ten days ago.

Notably, the bill that was introduced by the Democrats has no investment limit. For comparison, the competing bill has a 5% cap.  Overall, more than 20 state-level SBR bills have now been introduced in the US.

Could $5,000 DOGE Stimulus Checks Really Happen?

Could $5,000 DOGE Stimulus Checks Really Happen? Here's What We Know.

Mike Snider, USA TODAY  Sat, February 22, 2025

Could President Trump issue DOGE stimulus checks? The idea of $5,000 refunds from the ongoing drive to reduce federal spending has been floated.

But don't add that bonus to your account just yet. That's because DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, ideally must meet its $2 trillion savings goal to make the kickback feasible. And that accomplishment is something even Elon Musk, the unofficial leader of DOGE, said may not be doable back in January.

Still, President Trump on Wednesday said the administration is considering giving 20% of "DOGE savings" to citizens. His comments came a day after Musk said he would confer with Trump about the idea.

Even if the idea of $5,000 stimulus checks evolves, Congress would need to approve a dispersal of funds to taxpayers. Here's what we know so far.

Where did the idea for $5,000 DOGE stimulus checks come from?

"Anti-woke" investor James Fishback, CEO and co-founder of Azoria Partners, suggested the idea on X on Feb. 14 and lobbied Musk on the idea of $5,000 checks – based on the $2 trillion in savings accrued from DOGE – leaving the rest to pay down the national debt.

"American taxpayers deserve a ‘DOGE Dividend’: 20% the money that DOGE saves should be sent back to hard-working Americans as a tax refund check. It was their money in the first place," Fishback posted.

"@ElonMusk, let’s do this! This is how we rebuild trust in our government," he said.

In discussing the possible dividend on CNN on Saturday, Fishback said, the potential for a check of up to $5,000 would "incentivize Americans to report waste, fraud and abuse in their own community. Why? Because the more that DOGE saves, the bigger their check will be."

How would $5,000 stimulus checks happen? Who would get them?

Back in 2020, Congress passed – and President Trump signed – a $2 trillion bipartisan stimulus package to address the economic struggles caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The package included $1,200 checks to qualifying individuals and $2,400 for most married couples filing jointly with an extra $500 for each qualifying child under age 17.

Those stimulus checks were sent to persons who had filed tax returns in the two previous years or received Social Security or veterans’ benefits.

Also included: funding for small business loans and grants, and additional weekly unemployment insurance payments.

What has President Trump said about DOGE dividend checks?

Tishwash:  Ramadan between spirituality and the blaze of prices.. Warnings as the holy month approaches

Economic expert Ahmed Al-Tamimi warned, today, Sunday (February 23, 2025), of the rise in food prices with the approach of the month of Ramadan.

Al-Tamimi told Baghdad Today, "There is a fear among the Iraqi street of rising food prices with the approach of the holy month of Ramadan, especially with the presence of some greedy merchants, and this is why we find a rush to the markets these days for shopping, fearing a rise in prices in the coming few days."

He added, "The competent supervisory authorities in the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Commerce must monitor prices in the markets on a daily basis to prevent any manipulation of prices and raise the prices of some food items that are in high demand during the month of Ramadan. This sends messages of reassurance to citizens."

Ramadan is a special time for Muslims, when people come together in a special spiritual and social atmosphere. However, many face increasing economic challenges during this month, most notably the rise in prices of food and basic products, which burdens low-income families.

There are many reasons for this increase in prices, including increased demand for food, some traders taking advantage of this opportunity to raise prices, in addition to problems related to supply chains and economic inflation. In some countries, governments are seeking to take control measures to limit these increases, such as imposing fixed prices or providing support for some basic commodities. link

Reducing the exit of currency
To talk about the extent of the decision's impact on the market, economic expert Salah Nouri believed that it is too early to determine the level of prices and quality for the gold and jewelry industry, because the Cabinet's decision has not yet begun to be implemented.

Nouri explained that importing gold and precious metals constitutes a high percentage of total imports, and therefore this decision will contribute to reducing the exit of foreign currency (dollar) from the country, noting that the Ministry of Trade has been tasked with facilitating the import of raw materials for manufacturing purposes in coordination with the Central Bank.

He added that the manufacture of gold and jewelry insideIraqIt is supposed to make its local prices lower than its import price, warning that this industry may face the risks of fluctuations in global gold prices, which may in turn affect the stability of the local market.

Diversifying budget resources
Government advisor Alaa Al-Fahd confirmed that activating the precious metals localization sector will have an effective role in bringing outIraqFrom total dependence on oil as a major source of budget revenues.

Al-Fahd said thatIraqToday, it has the ability to diversify its sources of income by localizing the precious metals industry, which will have a positive impact on the economy.IraqiBy diversifying revenues and activating this vital industry, noting thatIraqHe has large reserves of gold that can be exploited in local manufacturing instead of importing ready-made gold jewelry from abroad.

Al-Fahd explained that Iraqi lands are rich in many undiscovered precious metals, and that these potential discoveries will directly contribute to increasing reserves and diversifying the economy, stressing that this requires conducting economic feasibility studies to determine the extent of the impact of these minerals and activating the industry.

He stressed that the matter is not limited to owning these minerals, but rather requires developing realistic plans to activate these industries and develop the economy, stressing that paying attention to these industries and localizing them in Iraq, in addition to providing facilities and attracting foreign investments, will have a direct impact on the economyIraqiAl

-Fahd pointed out that this requires a government decision, and that this decision is available today, and it is a message to attract development investments in this field to activate the mining industry in Iraq, especially since there is a basis and ownership of these natural resources that can be exploited to strengthen the economy.

He explained that supporting the budget by activating this sector is inevitable, as any industry will contribute to raising production capacities and increasing production, which leads to the development and activation of the industry, pointing out thatIraqThese transformation industries are needed to exploit the available infrastructure for minerals.

Al-Fahd explained that all opportunities are available today for investment in this field, and that investment in this sector is no less important than investment in any other sectors that contribute to developing the economy and supporting the budget, especially in light of the fluctuations in oil prices, stressing the need to search for alternative sources of income and revitalizing the industrial, agricultural and tourism sectors.

Al-Fahd stressed that these sectors can contribute effectively to achieving revenues and diversifying the economy, indicating thatIraqHe should follow suit.CountriesThe Arab and Gulf countries have emerged from their dependence on oil and have begun to stimulate other industries and develop their natural resources.  link

If this Happens, the USD System Collapses, US Gold Reserves Gone Missing?

If this Happens, the USD System Collapses, US Gold Reserves Gone Missing?

Sean Foo:  2-22-2025

In a move that has sent ripples of speculation and anticipation through financial markets, President Donald Trump has confirmed his intention to personally oversee an audit of the gold reserves held at Fort Knox.

This announcement, made via a statement released earlier this week, has ignited a firestorm of debate, with many questioning the motives and potential consequences of such an unprecedented action.

Fort Knox, a heavily guarded United States Army post in Kentucky, is legendary for its supposed storage of a vast portion of the nation’s gold reserves. The vault, encased in granite and protected by layers of security, has become a symbol of American economic strength and stability.

However, rumors and conspiracy theories surrounding the actual contents of the vault, and whether the gold is actually there, have persisted for decades.

Now, Trump, known for his unconventional approach and disruptive tendencies, seems poised to finally address these rumors head-on. Details surrounding the audit are scarce, but his statement hinted at a deep concern regarding the integrity of the nation’s gold holdings.

The potential ramifications of this audit are enormous. For decades, the U.S. dollar has been considered a reserve currency, partially backed by the perceived strength and security of the nation’s gold reserves. Should the audit reveal a significant discrepancy – or worse, an absence of a substantial portion of the gold – the consequences could be devastating.

While some see Trump’s move as a necessary step towards transparency and accountability, others view it as a reckless gamble that could destabilize the global economy. Critics argue that the audit itself could spark unnecessary panic and speculation, even if the gold is found to be intact. Concerns have also been raised about the practicality and security of conducting such an audit, given the sensitive nature of the gold reserves.

The coming weeks will be crucial as details surrounding the audit continue to emerge. Whether this bold move will ultimately reinforce faith in the American financial system or trigger a crisis remains to be seen. One thing is certain: the world will be watching closely as Trump attempts to unlock the secrets of Fort Knox and potentially reshape the future of the U.S. dollar.

Greg Hunter (w/ Bill Holter): DOGE Forces US Bankruptcy Reset

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)

Financial writer and precious metals broker Bill Holter is back with a new warning on the effects of the Trump DOGE team (Department of Government Efficiency). 

Everyone now knows of the huge unfolding fraud and waste being uncovered in federal government audits.  It simply has to be done for the nation to survive, but what many are missing are the consequences of these audits that are unavoidable. 

Holter and his former business partner Jim Sinclair (RIP) laid out the US bankruptcy scenario nearly five years ago on USAW.  The post was titled “Trump Win Offers a Way Forward After US Bankruptcy – Holter & Sinclair.”  

Of course, Donald Trump “lost” in 2020, and the bankruptcy button was not pushed.  Back then, Holter and Sinclair said the US was going to go bankrupt.  The only question was, would America get financially reorganized “under the rule of law or the rule of chaos?” 

The voters chose the rule of law in 2024 with the Trump landslide.  Holter goes on to explain, “Mathematically, this is going to go down one way or the other.  Either it’s going to go down through nonpayment or going to go down when they blow up the value of the dollar. 

They cannot pay the interest and debt back in current terms. . . . They would have to create more dollars, diluting the value of each dollar in order to pay the dollars back. The question is, does this go down under the rule of law or does it go down under the rule of complete fraud and corruption. . . .

Look at the last days of the Biden Administration.  Hundreds of billions of dollars going out the back door.  All I can say is when this is over, people better be going to jail; otherwise, you are not looking at a true rule of law.”

Holter goes on to say, “DOGE is uncovering all kinds of fraud.  This is what you see at the end of empires and even businesses.  You see fraud at the very end when empires go under.  The scope of what they are uncovering, just at this point, has been mind blowing. . . .

The more DOGE digs up, the more the truth is going to come out and the more confidence is going to break.  When confidence breaks with foreigners, that’s a big problem. 

 Just this year alone, we have about $10 trillion in Treasuries rolling over.  It’s $28 trillion in the next four years.  There has to be an appetite for our Treasuries, and DOGE uncovering the truth is counterproductive to that.  They are uncovering the truth, but truth hurts confidence. . . .

DOGE, by doing what should have been done 50 years ago, and had we had real accounting, we would not have a problem.  Now, you’ve got the system absolutely addicted to this cash flow coming out of USAID and all these different programs, and that is going to get shut off.  It’s like throwing sand into a gear box.  The system is going to grind to a halt, and that is going to lead to ‘The Great Taking.’”

Holter predicts, “When the system grinds to a halt, you see derivatives collapse, you see financial institutions collapse.  Then, guess what, they take all your stuff.  Under today’s laws, they do it legally.”

Five years ago on USAW, Holter and Sinclair predicted gold would be going much higher.  Gold standing at more than $2,900 per ounce shows they were correct, but Holter says you ain’t seen nothing yet,

“Gold is a thermometer that tells the health of currencies and regimes.  At $2,950, gold is flashing the alarm now.  The average person is not equating that to an alarm bell, but it is an alarm bell.  People are using gold to get out of the system. 

When all is said and done, you are going to find out there was fraud everywhere.  You are also going to find out that all these crypto currencies are the perfect accounting system for digital air.”

In closing, Holter says that when you consider the massive amounts of trillions of dollars of unpayable debt, gold could easily be revalued to more than $100,000 per ounce in a reset of the financial system. 

Holter says, “This would reliquefy central banks all over the world.  I don’t think you would have central banks all over the world complaining about that.”  Holter says silver could be revalued upward to thousands of dollars per ounce in a financial reset as well.

There is much more in the 61-minute interview.

Militia Man  Article:  "Trump gives Baghdad a choice export Kurdistan's oil or face sanctions like Iran"  There is a plan and there is a way [to get the oil flowing].  This tells us there's clear pressure on Iraq to stay the course.  This news is somewhat intense.  It suggests power players are making sure Iraq stays on board with her reforms.  I suspect this pressure is going to be used to keep Iraq on track and get this going...The heat is up and I like it.  It's good.

Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:There's an economic expert on the television...He's asking us Iraq citizens some questions regarding the exchange rate of our currency...He went on for 20 minutes talking about the pros and cons [of what we're about to do] and he reminded us that at one time the dinar was $3.30...Then we see new information commercials talking about the new national bonds...Mr Sammy says this is another way to get the citizens to bring in their 3 zero notes that many are hoarding in the their homes.  FRANK:  They are pushing the idea to buy the bonds.  They'll use their 3-zero notes...The push to bring in as many 3-zero notes as possible is also another loud indicator of a change that's coming...

They Don’t Need a CBDC, They Already Have THIS

Taylor Kenny:  2-23-2025

Imagine a financial system where every transaction is tracked, every dollar is controlled, and your financial freedom is at risk. Stablecoins and the rise of a digital dollar could be laying the foundation for unprecedented economic control.

 With deep ties to U.S. agencies and billions in U.S. debt under their control, could stablecoins like Tether be the government’s secret weapon in financial surveillance?

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

COINBASE SAYS SEC WILL DROP LAWSUIT AGAINST CRYPTO EXCHANGE—CITING CHANGE IN ‘POLITICAL LEADERSHIP’

The Securities and Exchange Commission has agreed to drop its lawsuit against Coinbase, following what the crypto exchange said was a change in “political leadership” at the agency, which accused Coinbase of failing to register as a securities exchange under the Biden administration.

6:34 PM

▪Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s chief legal officer, wrote in a blog post Friday saying SEC officials have agreed “in principle” to dismiss the agency’s lawsuit against Coinbase.

▪The SEC sued Coinbase—the largest crypto firm in the U.S.—in Manhattan federal court in 2023, alleging at least 13 crypto assets sold by the crypto exchange should have been registered as securities before they were offered publicly.

▪“What changed over those two years was the political leadership at the SEC,” Grewal wrote, appearing to reference the lawsuit being filed under the Biden administration and a shift in oversight under President Donald Trump, who has promised to lessen the regulatory burdens facing the industry.

▪Grewal told the Wall Street Journal that SEC officials will likely vote next week to dismiss the agency’s lawsuit (Coinbase did not immediately respond to a request for comment).

▪The SEC declined to comment to Forbes.

Key Background
The SEC targeted several cryptocurrency firms under the Biden administration, including lawsuits filed against Coinbase, Binance and Kraken, among others.

Regulators pushed for more oversight of the industry, claiming crypto assets sold by crypto exchanges were securities that should be registered under the SEC’s umbrella. Coinbase—which went public in 2021—disputed the SEC’s claims and accused the agency of “hurting America’s economic competitiveness.”

A federal district court declined to toss the SEC’s case against Coinbase in March 2024, and the crypto firm appealed the ruling in January. The SEC’s lawsuits against Binance and Kraken are ongoing, though the SEC has requested its case against Binance be paused.

What Has Trump Said About Regulating The Crypto Industry?
In the lead-up to his inauguration, Trump indicated he would use his executive powers to reduce regulatory burdens facing crypto firms.

He suggested he would create a new crypto advisory council, and Trump reportedly planned to unveil an executive order declaring cryptocurrency a policy priority while advising agencies to work with the industry.

Acting SEC chair Mark Uyeda said earlier this week a task force to oversee the crypto industry—established by former SEC chair Gary Gensler—would be cut down, and a new task force is reportedly moving away from Gensler’s approach.

RUSSIA'S SUPREME COURT MOVES TO CLASSIFY CRYPTO AS PROPERTY

Russia’s Supreme Court is pushing to classify cryptocurrency as property in penal cases, aiming to strengthen law enforcement’s ability to track, freeze, and confiscate illicit digital assets.

Russia’s Supreme Court Advances Crypto Legalization Efforts
Russia’s Supreme Court has taken an increasingly active role in defining the legal status of cryptocurrency, with its latest efforts focusing on recognizing digital assets as property for penal proceedings, Tass reported on Feb. 20. Chairperson Irina Podnosova addressed the issue at a recent meeting attended by judges and Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating:

With the spread of cryptocurrency in the economy, there has been a rise in crimes where the digital currency is either the means of committing the crime, the criminal income, or the object of the offense.

She further confirmed that the Supreme Court is involved in drafting a “legislative initiative aimed at recognizing digital currency as property for purposes of penal proceedings,” a move that could strengthen law enforcement’s ability to handle crypto-related crimes.

This is not the first time Russia’s Supreme Court has addressed cryptocurrency in legal proceedings. In 2019, it ruled that converting bitcoin into rubles constituted money laundering when the digital currency was obtained through illegal activities, particularly in cases involving drug-related transactions.

 The court’s decision reinforced that cryptocurrencies could fall under existing anti-money laundering laws. Additionally, in 2021, the court ruled that WMZ, the electronic currency used in the Webmoney Transfer system, was legally recognized as an object of civil rights, setting a precedent for the legal treatment of digital assets in Russia.

These earlier rulings indicate the Supreme Court’s ongoing efforts to integrate cryptocurrency into the country’s judicial framework.

6:34 PM

Despite stable crime patterns in Russia, where property crimes account for 38%, violent crimes for 24%, and offenses against public security and order for 24%, the growing use of digital currency in criminal activities has prompted efforts for clearer legal definitions, according to Podnosova.

By officially classifying cryptocurrency as property, authorities will be better positioned to track, freeze, and confiscate illicit digital assets. As more countries seek to regulate the crypto space, Russia’s legislative efforts highlight the increasing necessity for legal clarity in digital finance.
