Tishwash:  I don't think there is any new information in this article but they have posted it again

Iraq is preparing to launch the digital dinar... a step towards a cashless economy!

 The Central Bank of Iraq is preparing to launch a national digital currency as part of a gradual shift toward a digital financial system aimed at reducing the use of paper money and enhancing transparency and financial inclusion.

The initiative relies on modern payment technologies and seeks to reduce transaction costs and combat money laundering.

Despite the ambition, experts question the project's success due to challenges related to weak trust in the banking system and the lack of adequate digital infrastructure. The Central Bank, meanwhile, reiterates its rejection of cryptocurrencies, deeming them illegal, and warns against the activity of fictitious trading companies in the local market. The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, revealed that the country's financial and banking system is undergoing fundamental transformations, most notably the gradual decline in the use of paper currency in favor of digital payments.

During his speech at the Ninth Finance and Banking Conference and Exhibition, Al-Alaq confirmed that the Central Bank is working to create its own digital currency, which will be gradually introduced as an alternative to paper currency, following the experiences of several global central banks.

The Central Bank of Iraq announced on December 16 that it would not grant any licenses to stock, metals, and cryptocurrency trading companies, warning against the activity of fictitious companies claiming to have official licenses.

Despite the growing global spread of cryptocurrencies, Iraq doesn't appear close to entering this high-risk digital world. According to experts, these digital assets do not represent a real addition to the Iraqi economy, which is primarily based on oil exports and dollar transactions in global markets.

Financial affairs expert Mustafa Hantoush told Al-Mada that "Iraq does not have a legislative or economic environment capable of accommodating these currencies. Rather, they could become a tool for speculation and money laundering in the absence of oversight and regulation."

He pointed out that "dealing in them is limited and informal, via external platforms and offices in neighboring countries, exposing investors to the risk of loss and fraud."

Furthermore, according to Hantoush, cryptocurrencies are not based on real reserves or bank guarantees, making them highly volatile and unreliable in fragile markets such as Iraq's. According to economic researcher Ziyad al-Hashemi, the initiative to launch the "digital dinar" is an attempt to eliminate the chronic problems plaguing the monetary system, but its success remains in doubt.

In an interview with Al-Mada, Al-Hashemi explained, "There is a fundamental difference between digital currency and cryptocurrencies. Digital currencies, such as the digital dollar or the digital dirham, are issued and regulated by central banks and are managed within an official regulatory framework. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, operate within a decentralized system that is not subject to any regulatory authority and are highly volatile in value due to their dependence on supply and demand."

Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency, emerging in 2009 as a response to the global financial crisis. It was designed to operate outside the regulatory framework of central banks, making it an attractive tool for some, particularly in digital circles and criminal networks, due to the privacy and speed of money transfers it provides, free from government restrictions. Transactions in Bitcoin are a legal violation, subjecting perpetrators to the provisions of Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Law No. 39 of 2015.

The bank issued an official statement during the recent dollar crisis, emphasizing that trading in cryptocurrencies is prohibited and not recognized in the country. Regarding the anticipated digital dinar, he points out that "the Central Bank of Iraq will be responsible for issuing and circulating it, allowing it to control and monitor financial transactions and contributing to the reduction of financial crimes and money laundering. Unlike cryptocurrencies, this currency will be fully backed by the Central Bank, giving it a degree of stability and making it similar to paper currency in terms of sovereign value, with the difference that its circulation will be electronically only through bank accounts and digital wallets."

Al-Hashemi believes that "the main goal of this step is to reduce reliance on paper dinars hoarded outside the banking system and advance financial inclusion, as well as to attempt to limit the widespread use of the dollar in local transactions by enhancing confidence in using the digital dinar as an official alternative in daily transactions."

He adds that "the success of this project depends on providing an appropriate environment and strict implementation. If this is achieved, the digital dinar could effectively contribute to withdrawing stagnant cash, revitalizing banking activity, and stimulating credit, which could positively impact overall economic performance."

However, Al-Hashemi does not hide his pessimism, emphasizing that The Central Bank of Iraq currently lacks the basic components needed to ensure the success of this initiative, due to the significant flaws in its monetary policies, the lack of public confidence in the banking system, and the recurring political interference in its decisions. He believes that all of these obstacles could make the digital dinar a fragile project, suffering from the same problems as the paper dinar.

He concludes by saying, "Ambition alone is not enough. Without genuine reform of monetary policies, strengthening public confidence in banks, and distancing politics from the economy, the chances of success of the digital dinar remain extremely limited."

 Furthermore, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, economic advisor to the Prime Minister, believes that "central banks around the world, including the Central Bank of Iraq, are still in the gradual preparation phase for the transition to the world of digital payments as a modern alternative to paper currencies." This shift, he explains, does not change the essence of money and its basic functions.

Rather, it seeks only to improve the efficiency of dealing with it and reduce associated costs, in addition to strengthening financial oversight tools and reducing financial crime and money laundering.

Saleh confirms to Al-Mada that "this digital transformation in the monetary system does not mean that money will lose its function as a store of value, a means of payment and receipt, or a tool for unit of account and measurement of rights. Rather, these functions will be fully preserved, but within a more transparent, governed, and compliant environment, enhancing the monetary authority's ability to manage monetary stability using the same monetary policy tools."

Saleh explains that "digital money can expand the scope of banking services to include the poorest and most vulnerable segments of society by facilitating the opening of digital bank accounts. Digital money will be available to all citizens, from the smallest monetary unit to the largest, allowing for instant settlement of transactions without delay or wasted rights or time."

He points out that "providing digital liquidity widely within the banking system, with minimal liquidity risk, will enable low-income groups to obtain immediate and affordable digital loans at a lower cost, given that the funds will remain within the banking system and will not require large reserves or financial hedges.

This will optimally leverage the digital credit multiplier, enhancing financing and stimulating economic activity without compromising economic stability or causing monetary inflation, as long as monetary policy tools remain effective."

The economic advisor emphasizes that "implementing this project requires precise and extensive investments in information technology, such as smartphones and social networks, along with the necessity of an advanced digital infrastructure, most notably a reliable internet network, as it is the backbone of the success of digital payments.

 He also emphasizes the importance of a solid legal structure that protects the rights of users and customers and ensures the security of networks from breaches, within a comprehensive cybersecurity framework that aligns with the rapid development of digital services worldwide." linkI

Tishwash:  Ramadan revives the Iraqi dinar and official expectations of a continued decline in the dollar

The exchange rate of the US dollar in the parallel market in Iraq declined significantly during the first and second weeks of Ramadan, recording 1,480 dinars per dollar, or less than that, from 1,520 dinars before the beginning of the month.

The decline is due to several factors, most notably the strict measures taken by the Central Bank of Iraq to control imports and electronic money transfers, in addition to the decline in economic activities of the Iraqi citizen during the month of Ramadan.

"strict measures"

Government advisor Alaa Al-Fahd says the decline in the dollar price in the parallel market is due to the Central Bank’s implementation of strict measures aimed at controlling imports and electronic money transfers.

He added that this measure reflects the success of the Central Bank's monetary policy, as Iraqi banks have begun to implement correspondence operations with international banks with which they have commercial relations.

He added that diversifying the currency basket contributed significantly to easing pressure on the dollar, and that most imports of consumer and food goods are financed through the official platform of the Central Bank and at the official price, stressing that any trading outside this framework is considered unofficial dealing.

Al-Fahd praised the Central Bank’s announcement of implementing digital transactions and encouraging tourism, stressing that these steps contributed to easing pressure on the parallel market for exchange rates.

Al-Fahd expected the market to remain stable, especially with most of the needs of Ramadan and the Eid season being covered through the official platform and at the official price, noting that expectations indicate a continued decline in the dollar price in the coming period.

The exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar increased significantly in the last week before Ramadan, recording 1,520 dinars per dollar for sale and 1,510 dinars for purchase in the main stock exchanges, but in the first week of Ramadan, the exchange rate recorded a significant decrease, reaching 1,465 dinars per dollar for sale and 1,475 dinars per dollar for purchase in the main stock exchanges in Baghdad, Erbil and Basra.

In the second week of Ramadan, the exchange rate rose slightly, recording 1,485 dinars per dollar for sale and 1,480 dinars per dollar for purchase, with a variation up or down not exceeding two and a half dollars.

The exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar is affected by several main factors, including:

-Daily sales volume in currency auction

-Central Bank procedures related to external transfers

-The need of traders to import goods, especially from countries subject to US sanctions, which increases the demand for the dollar in the parallel market.

-Smuggling the Iraqi dinar to other countries to benefit from price differences.

"Ramadan is a game changer"

For his part, economic expert Ahmed Al-Ansari believes that the decline in demand for the dollar during the month of Ramadan is mainly due to the decline in economic activities of the Iraqi citizen, which is evident in the decline in the movement of real estate, cars and basic services.

Al-Ansari explained that the weak purchasing power of citizens also contributed to reducing the volume of imports, which led to a reduction in demand for the dollar in the parallel market.

He added that the Central Bank's measures aimed at reducing imports through the black market and encouraging traders and importers to import through approved banks and convert the dollar at the official price were an additional reason for this temporary decline.

Al-Ansari expected a strong recovery in the markets after Ramadan and by Eid al-Fitr, which could lead to a slight increase in the dollar price or a return to its previous level, stressing that the dollar price is greatly affected by the strength of supply and demand in the market, as it rises whenever demand for it increases in the parallel market.

He pointed out that the continuation of the facilities provided by the Central Bank, such as providing travelers' dollars, will encourage citizens to deal at the official price and avoid exchange offices and banks that sell dollars at higher prices.

On February 7, 2023, the Council of Ministers approved the decision of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Iraq to amend the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar, equivalent to 1,300 dinars per dollar, obligating banks to sell at a rate of 1,310 dinars per dollar and at a rate of 1,320 dinars per dollar for currency transfer operations when using electronic cards while traveling or online, with a ceiling of 3,000 dollars at the official rate granted to each traveler who presents a visa and a travel ticket with his official passport.  link

Henig:  Vietnam to sign U.S. deals as trade, energy officials meet, document shows

HANOI, March 10 (Reuters) - Vietnam expects to sign pacts with the United States this week after its trade minister meets U.S. trade and energy officials, according to a government document reviewed by Reuters.

The step comes after weeks of conciliatory messages Vietnam has sent Washington in an effort to avert tariffs by the Trump administration the Southeast Asian nation may face because of its large trade surplus with the United States.

Henig:  Vietnam to sign U.S. deals as trade, energy officials meet, document shows

By Reuters   March 10, 20252:55 AM PDT

HANOI, March 10 (Reuters) - Vietnam expects to sign pacts with the United States this week after its trade minister meets U.S. trade and energy officials, according to a government document reviewed by Reuters.

The step comes after weeks of conciliatory messages Vietnam has sent Washington in an effort to avert tariffs by the Trump administration the Southeast Asian nation may face because of its large trade surplus with the United States.

 The March 5 document from the trade ministry features the schedule of Trade Minister Nguyen Hong Dien's trip to the United States this week.

It also listed energy companies and government departments, from customs to tax, asked to send accompanying representatives.

Last week the government said on its portal Dien, who is also in charge of energy and industry policy, would travel to the United States on Thursday to meet U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

But it gave no details of possible deals or topics to be discussed.

Officials have publicly indicated Vietnam's intention to buy U.S. liquefied natural gas for its fledgling industry and to possibly revise duties on several imports, from ethanol and LNG to agriculture products.

Trading firm PetroVietnam Gas (GAS.HM), opens new tab, power generator PetroVietnam Power (POW.HM), opens new tab and power distributor EVN are among the state-controlled gas and energy companies asked to send delegates on Dien's U.S. trip, the ministry document shows.

The event is part of regular meetings between U.S. and Vietnamese trade officials under the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement signed in 2007.

Dien is set to first meet Greer on Thursday, before working with officials of the U.S. energy department and witnessing the signing of "a number of agreements" the following day, the document showed.

Then he will meet officials of the commerce department and industry groups with "interests in Vietnam", it added, but did not say if the meetings were listed according to times in the United States or Vietnam, which could affect the days.

Is the US Headed Toward Recession?

Is the US Headed Toward Recession? [Podcast]

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  March 11, 2025

Is the US Headed Toward Recession? [Podcast]

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  March 11, 2025

By the late 1920s, the US economy was booming and had advantages that most of the world did not yet enjoy.  Manufacturing in America was extremely competitive due to mass electrification powering factories. Farmers had traded out horses and mules for trucks and tractors.

US productivity was surging.

Global trade was still recovering from World War I, but there was enough sense at the League of Nations (the precursor to the United Nations) to campaign against trade barriers.

The final report from the World Economic Conference in 1927 concluded that “the time has come to put an end to tariffs. . .”

But America decided to move in the opposite direction.

Two politicians, Willis Hawley and Reed Smoot put forth a plan to impose steep tariffs that reached as high as 59.1% on some products.

The infamous Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act passed in 1930, and almost immediately, countries around the world imposed their own retaliatory tariffs against the US.

Global trade plummeted as a result, which became a major factor in prolonging an almost never-ending and extremely painful economic depression.

I don’t think another Great Depression is in the cards right now, but frankly all these threats of tariffs are starting to have an impact.

Stock market investors are realizing that a recession is clearly on the table, and that business and consumer sentiment across the board have taken a nose dive.

That could all rebound just as quickly as it has fallen, but the larger point is that tariffs will absolutely make the country, and the world for that matter, much worse off.

The key reason is that tariffs force the economy to operate below its maximum potential.

Think about it on an individual basis. Imagine if Tom Cruise were sacking groceries instead of making movies. I think most people would probably acknowledge that creating multi-billion dollar box office hits is a hard thing to do, and sacking groceries would be below his potential.

The same goes for a trained and experienced neurosurgeon— picking turnips is not the best use of his or her time.

The US economy is certainly capable of producing just about anything. But there’s no point in deliberately producing below your potential— i.e. taking scarce talent and resources away from more valuable more productive sectors, and instead focusing that energy to make socks and underwear.

If an economy consistently underachieves its potential, everyone is worse off as a result— regardless of whether that results in a near-term recession.

The US has the potential in small-scale nuclear reactors, and emerging technology in AI, automation, robotics, and high-performance computing to create a level of abundance and prosperity that is almost unimaginable. That advantage is specific to the United States and that reality could be just a few years away because most of that technology exists or is close.

And that’s what the US needs to get out of its $36 trillion debt problem— a productivity and innovation driven economic boom.

Tariffs throw cold water on the whole thing.

This is what we discuss in today’s podcast.

We also touch on:

  • Recent stock market swings

  • The valuation of stocks now, and historically

  • Who is investing in the stock market today

  • What could drive investors into bonds

  • And more.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

MOMENTUM BUILDS IN WASHINGTON TO PASS STABLECOIN LEGISLATION, MARKING A 'MOMENT FOR US HERE IN CONGRESS NOW TO ACT'

▪“There is a moment for us here in Congress now to act,” said Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich., during a House committee hearing on Tuesday.

▪A stablecoin bill is set to be marked up in the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

MOMENTUM BUILDS IN WASHINGTON TO PASS STABLECOIN LEGISLATION, MARKING A 'MOMENT FOR US HERE IN CONGRESS NOW TO ACT'

▪“There is a moment for us here in Congress now to act,” said Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich., during a House committee hearing on Tuesday.

▪A stablecoin bill is set to be marked up in the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday.

Movement on legislation to regulate stablecoins is underway this week as lawmakers in the House debated necessary provisions in the bill on Tuesday. The Senate committee will also assemble in the coming days to take a vote on proposed stablecoin rules.

This is the moment for Congress to act, said Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich., on Tuesday during a House Financial Services Committee hearing focused on stablecoins and central bank digital currencies. Huizenga cited the Trump administration's actions over the past few weeks, including a White House crypto summit last week.

"There is a moment for us here in Congress now to act, and as legislators, it's ultimately up to us to provide the regulatory clarity needed to ensure that the U.S. dollar remains the dominant reserve currency, and I believe stablecoins can do that," Huizenga said.

Lawmakers have legislation teed up in both the Senate and House to tackle stablecoin regulation. A handful of bipartisan legislators have been working to pass a stablecoin bill for years.

However, like all previous congressional acts to advance crypto regulation, these various attempts had stalled out. Fifty days into Donald Trump's presidency, however, Congress is seemingly making crypto a priority — including by investigating claims of industry-wide debanking and repealing the controversial "DeFi Broker rule."

In FebruaryHouse Financial Services Committee Republican Chair French Hill, R-Ark., alongside Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., released draft legislation to regulate stablecoins. That draft, called the STABLE Act, builds on work done over the years in the committee beginning in 2022.

A sticking point for a previous draft was a provision that would have allowed state regulators to approve stablecoin issuances without Federal Reserve input.

The new bill differs slightly from the previous stablecoin bill. For example, it gives the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency the authority to "approve and supervise federally qualified nonbank payment stablecoin issuers " instead of including a federal path through the Federal Reserve for "payment stablecoin issuers."

Work is also underway in the Senate. Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., introduced a bill to regulate stablecoins called the "Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins,dubbed the GENIUS Act. Though it is not a companion to the House's version, lawmakers say it shows an effort among Republicans to work on key issues.

That bill is set to be marked up in the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday.

Ron Hammond, senior director of government relations at the Blockchain Association, called all the action "Stablecoin Spring" and said Congress is set on getting a stablecoin bill across the finish line.

"The House hearing today showed most of the Democrats and all the Republicans largely supporting the measures in the STABLE Act," Hammond said in a statement to The Block.

"That same bipartisan spirit will likely be reflected in Thursday’s Senate Banking markup of the GENIUS Act. This will be set the stage for a comprehensive vote on the combined product, the STABLE GENIUS Act, sometime in the next two-to-three months.”

House hearing unfolds

In the Houselawmakers also heard from experts, including Paxos CEO Charles Cascarilla, Global Head of Digital Assets at The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, among others, on Tuesday.

Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., who has shown support toward crypto, compared digital assets to cars.

"The proper legislative response to the automobile is not to ban it, it's not to sabotage it, it's to regulate it," Torres said. "It's to make it safer. And as far as I'm concerned, the proper role of Congress is not to sabotage digital asset transactions, but to make them safer, to strike a careful balance between financial stability and innovation."

Some Democrats revealed hesitancy toward Republican-led stablecoin bills.

Top Democrat Rep. Waters of California criticized Trump over the launch of his memecoin and his executive order creating a strategic bitcoin reserve.

"Despite my belief that the Trump administration only wants crypto legislation that personally benefits them and protects their crypto financiers — I still hope we can work together on a bill that requires stablecoins be robustly and fairly regulated," Waters said.

The current Republican-led bill at play "strips away critical protections to shield investors from criminals," she added.

Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., criticized the GENIUS Act during Tuesday's hearing and said it needed to be amended "vigorously."

"I read the GENIUS Act over in the Senate — I'm a little weary about anything called genius coming out of the United States Senate — but there were so many problems with that and I'm hopeful, hopefully my colleagues, Mr. Hill, and others will amend that vigorously because it had huge, huge problems," Lynch said.

BRICS TRADE AGREEMENT LOOKS TO END THE PETRODOLLAR’S DOMINANCE

There is no denying that 2025 has seen tension between the West and the Global South reach a fever pitch. That is only expected to continue throughout this year, as a plethora of BRICS trade agreements look to end the petrodollar’s dominance.

The economic alliance has spearheaded efforts to increase trade settlements in local currencies. Moreover, that should continue to extend into the oil industry, which may only increase the growing geopolitical uncertainty between the United States and the bloc.

BRICS Eye an End to the Petrodollar: How Will Donald Trump Respond?

Since his 2024 presidential election win, Donald Trump has placed a clear target on the BRICS alliance. Their previous efforts to de-dollarize global markets led the President to threaten 150% tariffs on membership nations. Yet, that has not deterred its continued pursuit of US dollar alternatives in a host of sectors.

Moreover, that hasn’t limited the attractiveness of the BRICS bloc for developing nations. 

Three new nations have been invited to the bloc’s annual summit, all of which are eyeing a position in the collective. Moreover, their presence could only further efforts for BRICS to use new trade agreements to end the petrodollar’s dominance.

Due to the presence of sanctions, Russia pivoted into oil trade settlement currencies in 2022. Specifically, 78% of oil exports to fellow BRICS members China and India were in local currencies over the two years that followed. Comparatively, just 32% were settled in local currencies in 2021.

The alliance’s hopes of de-dollarizing the oil market can be clearly seen in the allies it has embraced. Since the arrival of BRICS+, it has welcomed Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, and Iran. Those nations are some of the top oil producers in the world. Moreover, many stand to also see the petrodollar cease to hold as much dominance as it does.

If it were successful, it would be a monumental blow to the United States. The BRICS bloc holds more than 40% of the world’s oil and gas reserves Although 58% of currency reserves are still held in the greenback, it presents a key point of conflict that is building on already concerning relations between BRICS and the US.

Oil Prices Rise Slightly Despite Concerns Over Global Economic Slowdown

Tuesday 11 March 2025 | Economic Number of readings: 54   Baghdad / NINA / Oil prices rose slightly during trading on Tuesday, after reducing their previous losses, supported by the weakness of the US dollar, but gains remained limited amid continued fears of a possible economic recession in the United States, and the repercussions of customs duties on the pace of global growth.

Brent crude futures rose by 47 cents, or 0.68 percent, to record $69.75 a barrel, after witnessing a decline in early trading. "

West Texas Intermediate US crude futures rose by 42 cents, or 0.64 percent, to reach $66.45 a barrel, after declines recorded earlier in the session."

This slight rise came in conjunction with the dollar index falling to its lowest levels in four months, which contributed to supporting oil prices and making them less expensive for buyers holding other currencies. "
The two benchmark crudes recorded a 1.5 percent decline at the settlement yesterday, affected by market fears of a global economic slowdown." / End 2 https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1191259

Rashid To An American Newspaper: Iraq Is Ready To Mediate Between Washington And Tehran

Political | 05:27 - 11/03/2025  Mawazine News – Baghdad  President Abdul Latif Rashid confirmed today, Tuesday, that Baghdad wants to play a mediation role between Washington and Tehran, while calling on US President Donald Trump to implement his promises regarding ending conflicts in the Middle East.

Rashid said in an interview with the American newspaper "Washington Times", that "Iraq has changed a lot from what it was in the days of Saddam Hussein, and the time of entering into conflicts and challenging the rights of other countries is over,"

adding that "some major companies, in the field of energy and others, are active here in petrochemicals and oil, and I do not think that we are facing a conflict with the United States, but on the contrary, we welcome all the help we can get from the United States, and we want to have a really good and friendly relationship with the United States."

He pointed out that "Iraq can play an important role in mediation because it is in constant contact with Iranian policy," indicating that "Iraq has no reservations about meeting senior Iranian officials, and has played a role in making Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia understand each other, and re-establishing the diplomatic service, which benefited everyone, and has also made some suggestions to Jordan and other countries."

Regarding Iraq's possible role in Syria, the president continued, saying, "It is clear that Syria is an independent state and has a new administration or new rulers, and we want the Syrian government to reflect the will of the Syrian people, either through elections or through the democratic steps that must be taken," stressing that "the Syrian administration must try to accommodate all segments of society, so that no one feels that he has been excluded or not treated as an ordinary citizen.

" He stressed that "there is one very important point for Iraq, which is the presence of large numbers of terrorists or families of terrorists on the Syrian border, and there is concern about that, and some arrangements must be made, so that the border does not get out of control."

In response to a question about whether the Iraqi president will receive an invitation to visit the United States, Rashid said, "I honestly do not know. I sent President Trump a congratulatory message and encouraged him to implement what he promised to maintain peace in the world, to end conflicts," noting that "life will not be easy, especially in our region, where we have conflicts in Syria, in Palestine, and we have problems in Lebanon, in Yemen, in Sudan, and in Somalia."

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Tuesday Afternoon 3-11-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

CIRCLE TRIMS USDC CROSS-CHAIN SETTLEMENT TIME DOWN TO SECONDS WITH PROTOCOL UPDATE

Circle, issuer of the world’s second-largest stablecoin USDC, has launched a protocol update it says reduces cross-chain transaction settlement time “to seconds,” compared to an average of 13 to 19 minutes for a typical blockchain transaction between Ethereum and Layer 2 blockchains.

▪According to Circle, the newly launched Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol V2, or CCTP V2, improves upon the earlier version “with a new set of smart contracts and APIs.”

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

CIRCLE TRIMS USDC CROSS-CHAIN SETTLEMENT TIME DOWN TO SECONDS WITH PROTOCOL UPDATE

Circle, issuer of the world’s second-largest stablecoin USDC, has launched a protocol update it says reduces cross-chain transaction settlement time “to seconds,” compared to an average of 13 to 19 minutes for a typical blockchain transaction between Ethereum and Layer 2 blockchains.

▪According to Circle, the newly launched Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol V2, or CCTP V2, improves upon the earlier version “with a new set of smart contracts and APIs.”

Circle, issuer of the world's second-largest stablecoin USDC, unveiled a protocol update on Tuesday it says will reduce cross-chain settlement time from several minutes to a matter of seconds.

The company's newly launched Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol V2, or CCTP V2, will improve upon CCTP V1 "with a new set of smart contracts and APIs," slashing cross-chain transaction settlement time from "an average of 13 to 19 minutes for a typical blockchain transaction" between Ethereum and Layer 2 blockchains to only seconds, according to a statement.

"CCTP V2 reduces the barriers that have hindered the fluid movement of digital dollars between supported blockchains," said Nikhil Chandhok, chief product officer of Circle, in the statement. 

"CCTP V2 gives developers greater flexibility to tailor cross-chain transactions to their specific needs and unlocks low-latency use cases in crypto capital markets, effectively abstracting away cross-chain complexities for developers and their users."

As the USD-pegged stablecoin market, by most accounts, is poised to keep growing, improving transaction time could prove beneficial to Circle as competition potentially heats up in the coming months and years.

Out of the roughly $235 billion worth of USD stablecoins in circulation, Circle's USDC accounts for $58 billion, according to The Block Data Dashboard. USDC ranks a distant second to Tether's USDT, the clear market leader.

Avalanche, Base and Ethereum to begin with

Circle said CCTP V2 will initially be available for developers working on Avalanche, Base and Ethereum, but the plan is to add support for more blockchains as the year progresses. "CCTP V1 will remain available on 11 blockchains," Circle said, adding that since launched in 2023, "CCTP has facilitated more than $36 billion in transaction volume."

Some of CCTP V2's new features Circle highlighted on Tuesday include "Hooks," which it said makes it possible for developers "to automate post-transfer actions on the destination blockchain."

BRICS: RUSSIA & IRAN ANNOUNCE NEW DEAL TO BOOST TRADE

Amid the ongoing tension between the US and BRICS, both Russia and Iran have announced a new deal to boost trade and cooperation. Indeed, both sides are expecting a surge in their partnership as things look increasingly uncertain for the alliance moving forward.

Throughout the year so far, the bloc has faced aggressive economic policy from the United States. Since being inaugurated, Donald Trump has not minced words regarding his feelings for the group. However, that has not seen the collective slow its ambitious growth efforts.

Russia & Iran Sign New Trade Deal as BRICS Faces Increased US Pressure

The last two years have seen the BRICS economic alliance embrace a massive growth effort. Indeed, they are continuing, with the alliance eyeing continued expansion in 2025. Moreover, it has held firm in its commitment to de-dollarization despite increased pressure from the United States.

Those efforts to fortify their alliance have continued for BRICS Monday as Russia and Iran have signed a new trade deal. According to a new report, both sides are expecting the increased cooperation to result in a “trade surge,” with cultural expansion to soon follow.

“Trade between Russia and Iran is generally demonstrating positive dynamics,” Ambassador Aleksley Dedov said. “We expect further growth in trade turnover at the end of this year,” he added. Indeed, they project a 15% increase in trade dealings over 2024. Moreover, a key emphasis on the increased trade is the decision for both sides to settle in local currencies.

That decision is yet another blow to the US dollar. President Donald Trump has not been kind to any de-dollarization efforts present globally. He has previously warned of 150% tariffs on nations that engage in the practice. It will be interesting to see if Russia and Iran are now subject to those threats.

DJ:  DID YOU KNOW?  Basel Accords

DJ:  DID YOU KNOW?  Basel Accords

Lost in the conversation lately is, “What happened to the Basel Accords, are they being used, how many countries and their financial institutions are compliant or at least striving to be compliant ?”

The Basel Accords are a set of international banking regulations developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) to enhance financial stability and strengthen risk management in the banking sector.

These accords aimed to ensure global financial stability by reducing systemic risks and enhancing banks’ ability to absorb financial shocks. Keep in mind these proposed regulations are voluntary not mandatory.

DJ:  DID YOU KNOW?  Basel Accords

Lost in the conversation lately is, “What happened to the Basel Accords, are they being used, how many countries and their financial institutions are compliant or at least striving to be compliant ?”

The Basel Accords are a set of international banking regulations developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) to enhance financial stability and strengthen risk management in the banking sector.

These accords aimed to ensure global financial stability by reducing systemic risks and enhancing banks’ ability to absorb financial shocks. Keep in mind these proposed regulations are voluntary not mandatory.

The accords were first introduced through Basel 1 in 1988. Followed by Basel 2 in 2004 and Basel 3.5 (sometimes called Basel IV) that refers to the final revisions to Basel III, introduced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in 2017.

While not an entirely new framework, these changes significantly alter how banks calculate risk-weighted assets (RWA) and capital requirements, leading some to call it Basel IV due to its major impact.

Originally set for 2022, the Basel IV reforms were delayed due to CoviD-19 and are now being gradually implemented, with full adoption expected by 2025 in many jurisdictions.

As of March 2025, the implementation of Basel IV regulations varies across different jurisdictions, leading to differences in compliance time-lines among financial institutions, While Basel IV does not officially exist as a separate accord, its significant changes to Basel III justify its informal nickname.

While many global financial institutions and countries have agreed in principle to adapt the regulatory framework, many are still in the process.

 For example: the EU originally set a go-live date of January 1, 2025, for Basel IV. However, a partial delay has been announced, moving the implementation of certain components to January 1, 2026.

Other elements, including changes to credit risk, operational risk, and the output floor were implemented in January 2025. The UK has proposed implementing Basel 3.1 starting July 1, 2025, a shift from the original January 2025 deadline.

The US federal banking regulators are preparing to finalize the Basel IV regulatory framework. While specific implementation dates are pending, the finalized rules are expected to impact US financial institutions in the near future. Canada, on the other hand, has been proactive in adopting Basel IV, with the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) setting initial compliance deadlines for the second quarter of 2023, indicating that many Canadian banks are already aligning with Basel IV standards.

Given these staggered time-lines, the number of financial institutions currently compliant with Basel IV varies by region. In jurisdictions like Canada, where earlier deadlines were set, a significant number of banks have likely achieved compliance. In contrast, in regions with forthcoming deadlines, banks are actively working towards meeting the new standards but may not yet be fully compliant.

It’s important to note that while many financial institutions are striving to comply with Basel IV regulations, the exact number of compliant institutions globally is not readily available due to ongoing implementation processes and varying regional time-lines.

Considering that the adaptation of the Basel standards is a key element of the GCR implementation, it’s something to pay attention to.

We have to think about the term “start”. What does it mean when we suggest the GCR has started?

 The Basel standards started in 1988 and are still being implemented. Think about how many years ago the GCR concept was introduced.and how long It’s been implementing. It’s hard to travel down a road when it’s being built. But once the barricades are down, we’ll all travel smoothly.

Member: Good morning one and all….Are we there yet????

Member: Happy Tuesday…..any good RV news today Mark?

Member: Is the 17th still in play to have bonds done?

MZ: I am still hearing those dates are solid….the  “from now until the 17th “ is still in play. The bond side is still telling me their expectations are for the historic bonds to be knocked out this month…. And the majority done by the 17th and 18th. That should be more than enough for us to get our announcements…we hope.

Member: If it happens for bonds on the 17th…will we be able to go then?

MZ: yes…probably shortly after…within a couple of days.

Member: I don’t know about anybody else, but I just have this gut feeling about Saint Patrick’s Day, and that our rainbow will appear with the gold at the end of it i.e. The RV.

Member: March 15th is the ides of march, meaning debt relief = Nesara

Member: The longer this goes… Trump opens himself up to MSM criticism regarding the economy. He needs a magic “Trump” card to surprise everyone. (ie RV / NESARA)

MZ: I agree….and I believe they are starting to make better headway …but he really needs Nesara/Gesara.

Member: the financial system is a house of cards built on a sea of debt... and the seas are getting rough!

Member: I have a story about a friend of mine who went to a chase bank and saw a kiosk machine that said "exchanges". Wish I knew what that means?

MZ: hopefully it means our exchanges

Member: It could be exchanging our fiat dollars for our new rainbow gold backed currency in the exchange machines?

Member: We have exchange ATM's in Australia. Just put in US $ and it converts to AU$. Only does a few currencies.

Member: Friend of mine went in to M&T bank few months ago bank Mngr, said they do not exchange. He went in this week asked the same question and bank Mngr said yes We do and are preparing for it now.

MZ: “ Al-Alaq: Iraq has one of the greatest Arab Gold Reserves with 162 tons”  This is making the news again.  Iraq wants the world to know the physical assets it has in its foreign currency reserves ect…..They want us to know they are one of the only solvent countries in the world. They are not a “debtor” nation. They are a “creditor” nation. They are laying the foundation to be able to change their rates.

Member: Vietnam also has tons of gold in the ground... More than anyone knew...

MZ: “Central Banks injects more than 5 Trillion VND in market”  to keep liquidity going. They may need to change the value of their currency.

MZ: “Vietnam to sign US deals as trade, energy officials meet” Vietnam is wanting to work closely with the US …They do not want to deal with tariffs and sanctions so are working hand in hand to make sure everybody gets what they want out of this relationship. Vietnam wants to grow with the US. They need to raise the value of their currency.

Member: Mark, what about the Iraqi Parliament hasn’t been able to get a quorum to pass any legislation due to the Shite-Sunni conflicts ?!!!

MZ: “ On the region’s oil: the Us imposed the amendment of Article 12” the US stepped in on  HCL and approving article 12 with assurance and guarantees that they are working with the Iraqi government to make things happen. And we are about to see things launch off of “stuck”

MZ: “ Is Iraq stepping into the world of crypto currencies?”  yes they are studying many of them….. to blend them with their assets.

MZ; “Iran is on fire: Angry protests and the unprecedented collapse of the Tomain”  their currency is in absolute free-fall. We may soon have different leadership in iran.

Member: Did Kuwait have to wait for a country’s currency to revalue internationally before they exchanged like we waiting for Iraq ?

Member: One hour in to the markets dow jones is down -463 points. Yesterday was over $1.75 trillion gutted from markets lets see how today does!!

Member: Another reason for DOW going downhill, deadline for new loans, end of “Bank Term Funding Program” is today
