$3,000 Gold Is Not The End Of This Story
$3,000 Gold Is Not The End Of This Story
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 17, 2025
On November 1, 2023, just as the price of gold reached its record high price of $2,000 per troy ounce, I clearly stated my position that $2,000 gold was just the beginning.
As usual, my argument was grounded in history. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, US government spending soared thanks to the mounting costs of the Vietnam War coupled with incredibly expensive social initiatives dubbed ‘The Great Society’.
The national debt exploded as a result.
$3,000 Gold Is Not The End Of This Story
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 17, 2025
On November 1, 2023, just as the price of gold reached its record high price of $2,000 per troy ounce, I clearly stated my position that $2,000 gold was just the beginning.
As usual, my argument was grounded in history. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, US government spending soared thanks to the mounting costs of the Vietnam War coupled with incredibly expensive social initiatives dubbed ‘The Great Society’.
The national debt exploded as a result.
Then, throughout the 1970s, the US suffered an incredibly humiliating withdrawal from Vietnam, complete with a helicopter airlift from the US embassy in Saigon. The Cold War with the Soviet Union was at its peak. Serious trouble brewed with Iran. War broke out in the Middle East.
Civil unrest and ‘mostly peaceful’ protests were also a constant problem in the 1970s, and major cities like New York, LA, and Chicago became synonymous with violent crime.
It was also a time of soaring inflation, weak leadership and political chaos in the US, not to mention rampant criminality in the federal government.
All of this led to a significant loss of confidence in America’s standing on the global stage.
Simply put, the world stopped making sense, and gold became a safe haven from that chaos. That’s why the gold price rose more than 20x over the course of the decade.
When I wrote to you back in late 2023, I described a number of similarities between the 1970s and the 2020s. Chaos and criminality. Weakness and war. Humiliation and inflation. Oh, and that little thing called Covid.
Similarly, the world stopped making sense in the 2020s.
And based on that conclusion, I wrote that $2,000 gold was just the beginning of a much bigger story... and that the price of gold would continue to surge.
It’s not hard to understand why.
Back in late 2023 when I wrote that article, the US national debt was around $33 trillion (it’s up $3+ trillion since then).
The federal government had recently ended its fiscal year (FY23), in which it spent every tax dollar collected just to pay interest on the debt, plus mandatory entitlements like Social Security and Medicare.
100% of US government ‘discretionary’ spending, which includes everything from the military and homeland security, to national parks and federal courts, had to be funded with more debt.
I assumed that this trend of higher spending and higher debt would continue. And it did.
The following year, in FY24, the government spent an unbelievable $1.1 trillion just to pay interest on the national debt— vastly exceeding the defense budget. Plus the FY24 budget deficit increased to more than $1.8 trillion.
So the fiscal situation has only become worse. Not better.
The other issue that I foresaw driving backlash against the dollar was the heavy-handedness of the US government against other nations.
Whenever foreign governments (or even foreign businesses) did things that the US government didn’t like, the Biden administration’s knee-jerk reaction was to impose— or at least threaten— sanctions.
In many respects the only reason that the US government even has the power to sanction other nations is because the dollar is the dominant global reserve currency.
If Costa Rica threatened to sanction other countries, everybody would just laugh... because Costa Rica has no power. But America has enormous power, simply because the rest of the world has to use US dollars for global trade and commerce.
I concluded that, sooner or later, foreign governments would get tired of being pushed around by the US government and start seeking alternatives to the dollar. This is also happening.
One thing that modern history makes very clear is that global monetary regimes tend to reset every few decades.
We can go back to the year 1867 in which the International Monetary Conference in Paris ultimately led to a global gold standard.
This gold standard lasted for a few decades... until World War I broke out. One by one, sovereign governments suspended their gold standards, causing significant disruption to the global monetary regime.
Three decades later, the global financial system was reset at the Bretton Woods Conference which anointed the US dollar as the global reserve currency... on the understanding that the dollar would be backed by gold.
This system lasted for 27 years, when, in 1971, Richard Nixon took the US dollar off the gold standard; this led to a system of “fiat currencies” around the world which were backed by nothing but phony promises from politicians and central bankers.
That system was adjusted once again in the late 1990s in the wake of the Asian financial crisis, and Russia’s sovereign debt default, in which most of the developing world piled into US dollars to hold their reserves. Foreign ownership of US government bonds skyrocketed as a result.
That system has lasted for a few decades— during which period a number of countries (like China) bought up trillions of dollars of US government debt.
Well, we are now witnessing in real time what appears to be another reset in the global financial system. And in some respects, it may even be planned.
The main problems that foreign governments and central banks have against the US dollar— the Treasury Department’s heavy-handedness, the constant threat of sanctions or tariffs, and the unimaginably high levels of debt— are still absolutely present.
And on top of that, this new administration is actively floating what has been dubbed the Mar-A-Lago Accords, i.e. an agreement to force America’s foreign bondholders to reset the financial system.
Just as predicted, all of this uncertainty has been incredibly bullish for gold— primarily because foreign governments and central banks are aggressively seeking an alternative to the US dollar.
At the moment, nobody really knows what the next global financial system will be.
Personally I don’t think the dollar is going to disappear as a reserve currency. But “King Dollar” probably won’t dominate the world— instead perhaps it will be “Earl Dollar” or “Viscount Dollar”, in a mix with other currencies.
No one knows for sure. And that’s why central bankers have been buying gold— because it’s the only asset in which they can have complete confidence. No matter what the new global financial system looks like, gold will continue to have value.
It has been those central banks buying up gold (literally by the metric ton) and pushing prices to record highs.
We said in November 2023 that $2,000 was just the beginning. We’ve just hit $3,000 gold.
I won’t say that is “just the beginning.” But it certainly is not the end to this story.

Tishwash: Oil exports from Kurdistan Region set to resume next week, confirms Iraqi parliament official
Speaking at a press conference, Halbousi highlighted the progress made in recent discussions, emphasizing that key amendments to the budget law and agreements on export routes through the port of Ceyhan are well underway.
In a significant development for Iraq’s energy sector, Haibat Halbousi, chairman of the Iraqi parliament's oil and gas committee, announced on Wednesday that oil exports from the Kurdistan Region will officially resume next week.
Speaking at a press conference, Halbousi highlighted the progress made in recent discussions, emphasizing that key amendments to the budget law and agreements on export routes through the port of Ceyhan are well underway.
“Our meeting focused on amending the budget law and the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region through the port of Ceyhan. We will meet with the delegation next week,” he stated.
Officials from the Ministry of Oil, the State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO), and the North Oil Company also confirmed the details, signaling a concrete step toward restoring oil exports from the region.
The Iraqi parliament convened on Wednesday to finalize the necessary measures, underscoring a collective commitment to economic stability and strengthening cooperation between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government.
The long-anticipated resumption of oil exports is expected to bring positive economic impacts, reinforcing Iraq’s role as a key player in global energy markets. link

Tishwash: Is the Kurdistan Region turning into a "money exchange" for money smuggled to neighboring countries?
Economic expert Farman Hussein commented on Wednesday (March 19, 2025) on the possibility that the Kurdistan Region could become a "money exchange" for funds smuggled to certain countries, such as Iran, in light of the increasing US economic sanctions on the latter.
"All banks and money transfer companies in the region are currently under the control of the Central Bank of Iraq and linked to the electronic platform, so smuggling from the region is impossible," Hussein told Baghdad Today.
He added, "Kurdistan's banks cannot be a reliable alternative to Iraqi banks, which are subject to US sanctions. These banks are affiliated with political figures and most are dubious and vulnerable to bankruptcy, closure, and sanctions." He emphasized that these banks are not reliable for safekeeping funds.
He pointed out that "smuggling hard currency from the region's banks is difficult, as they, too, are subject to the electronic platform, and money can only be transferred and smuggled to any country through a complex process."
He pointed out that "public money thieves in the region suffer from their inability to transfer funds abroad, forcing them to invest the money in housing projects, commercial buildings, and gas stations instead of depositing it in banks."
The Trump administration has reimposed a "maximum pressure" policy on Iran. The US government says it "seeks to isolate Iran from the global economy and cut off its oil export revenues in order to slow Tehran's development of a nuclear weapon."
Iraq, in turn, was affected by Washington's decision to refuse to renew the temporary waiver granted to Baghdad to purchase gas and electricity from Iran, amid concerns that the Iraqi banking system could be subject to US sanctions. link

The Central Bank Of Iraq Explains The Reasons For The Decline In Its Foreign Reserves During The Third Quarter Of 2024.
Wednesday, March 19, 2025, | Economic Number of reads: 169 Baghdad / NINA / The Central Bank of Iraq announced, on Wednesday, a decline in its foreign exchange reserves during the third quarter of 2024, explaining the reasons that led to this decline.
The bank stated in a report that "Iraq's foreign exchange reserves decreased by 0.52% during the third quarter of 2024, reaching 143.35 trillion dinars, compared to the same period in 2023, when reserves amounted to 144.10 trillion dinars."
The bank attributed this decline to "the Central Bank's resort to withdrawing cash liquidity from the market by strengthening cash sterilization operations, as part of its efforts to maintain monetary stability."
The report added, "As a result of these measures, cash receipts increased from 18.46 trillion dinars to 20.09 trillion dinars during the same period."
It also indicated that "the decline in oil prices from $82.2 to $77.3 during the same period was another factor in the decline in foreign reserves."
The bank explained that "the increase in receipts led to the depletion of a portion of net foreign reserves, and the issued currency increased from 100.06 trillion dinars to 104.13 trillion dinars, as a result of the increase in public spending, which in turn led to an increase in public debt."
The central bank stressed that "despite this decline, it still has large net foreign reserves compared to the money supply, which makes it in a relatively safe position, according to global financial standards that set the minimum at 20%." https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1192853

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
BITNOMIAL SET TO LAUNCH CFTC-APPROVED XRP FUTURES ON MARCH 20, WITHDRAWS SEC LAWSUIT
The decision comes following the SEC dropping its lawsuit against Ripple on the XRP case.
Bitnomial will launch its CFTC-approved XRP futures contracts on March 20 and drop its lawsuit against the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
BITNOMIAL SET TO LAUNCH CFTC-APPROVED XRP FUTURES ON MARCH 20, WITHDRAWS SEC LAWSUIT
The decision comes following the SEC dropping its lawsuit against Ripple on the XRP case.
Bitnomial will launch its CFTC-approved XRP futures contracts on March 20 and drop its lawsuit against the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The firm said its decision to withdraw its lawsuit was driven by the regulator’s move to abandon legal action against Ripple.
According to the March 19 announcement, the contracts will be physically settled, providing a new regulated trading instrument for institutional and retail investors’ exposure to XRP.
Regulatory improvement
Bitnomial clients will gain access to XRP futures immediately at launch. In contrast, prospective clients can onboard through Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) partners, including R.J. O’Brien and Associates, Marex Capital Markets, and Bitnomial Clearing.
The introduction of these contracts follows the broader trend of increased regulatory clarity in the crypto sector, particularly as legal developments reshape the landscape for digital assets.
One such development was Ripple’s decisive victory against the SEC. The regulator formally dropped its appeal in the long-standing legal battle over XRP’s classification. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed the resolution on March 19, calling it a significant moment for the industry.
Initiated in December 2020, the case accused Ripple of conducting unregistered securities sales worth $1.3 billion. A key ruling in August 2024 determined that XRP is not a security when traded on public exchanges, although penalties were upheld for institutional sales.
The ruling ordered Ripple to pay $125 million in penalties, significantly lower than the SEC’s original demand of nearly $2 billion.
The regulator and Ripple appealed the decision, with the SEC ultimately deciding to let go of its appeal. However, Ripple’s appeal to avoid the fine and clear XRP’s status as security on institutional sales is still up.
Bitnomial ends lawsuit against SEC
In tandem with the launch of its XRP futures, Bitnomial announced it has voluntarily dropped its lawsuit against the SEC.
The firm had sued the regulator in October 2024 over jurisdictional disputes concerning futures contracts based on XRP’s price.
Bitnomial initially filed for its XRP futures product in August 2024 after the federal ruling that XRP is not a security, challenging the SEC’s stance on overseeing XRP derivatives.
The firm’s decision to dismiss its case is based on the shifting regulatory environment and improving clarity regarding digital asset classification.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TO SPEAK AT DIGITAL ASSETS SUMMIT TOMORROW
President Donald Trump will make history as the first sitting U.S. president to speak at a Bitcoin and crypto conference, delivering remarks at Blockworks’ Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York City tomorrow.
President Donald Trump is expected to deliver a speech at Blockworks’ Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York City on March 20. This will be the first time a sitting U.S. president has addressed a Bitcoin and crypto conference, highlighting the growing influence of digital assets in mainstream financial policy.
Although this marks his first speech as a sitting president at a crypto event, Trump has previously engaged with the Bitcoin community, having spoken at the world’s largest Bitcoin conference in Nashville last summer while on the campaign trail. His return to the stage now as president further highlights the continued support from the U.S. government on Bitcoin.
Trump’s speech at DAS comes only a couple weeks after moving forward with officially integrating Bitcoin into his national strategy, when he signed an executive order establishing the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, positioning BTC as a key asset for the country’s financial future.
Joining the lineup tomorrow at DAS is Strategy’s Michael Saylor, who will deliver a keynote speech and engage in a fireside chat with Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo.
Additionally, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart will host a panel discussion with BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets Robbie Mitchnick and Nasdaq’s Head of U.S. Equities & Exchange-Traded Products Giang Bui, where they will delve into the evolving landscape of Bitcoin ETFs and institutional adoption.
The announcement of Trump’s participation follows remarks from Bo Hines, Executive Director on Digital Assets for President Trump, who spoke earlier this week at DAS. Hines reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to accumulating Bitcoin for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, stating:
“I think it’s high time that our President started accumulating assets for the American people, which is what President Trump is doing rather than taking it away.”
He also emphasized the administration’s approach to acquiring Bitcoin in budget-neutral ways, likening BTC accumulation to gold reserves:
“You know, I’ve been asked all the time, it’s like how much do you want? Well, that’s like asking a country how much gold do you want – as much as we can get."
Trump’s executive order has already sparked legislative action aiming to build on this momentum. Senator Cynthia Lummis and Congressman Nick Begich have each proposed plans for the U.S. to acquire 1 million BTC over the next five years, ensuring a long-term reserve of the scarce asset.
Earlier today at DAS, House Majority Whip and Congressman Tom Emmer stated that he believes this legislation will be enacted “before this congress is done.”

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight - it's Tuesday, march 18th and you're listening to the big call thanks everybody for tuning in wherever you're located all around the globe. Thank you for that. All right, thank you, Bob again, two days until the vernal equinox at five something in the morning on the 20th which is Thursday. Interesting timing.
Okay, now let's talk about one or two other things before we get into our timing. One, let's talk about med beds - We brought that up earlier tonight, and there was a question as to, what about the dates we're hearing about med beds? 25th 26th 27th 28th of this month?
Those are the dates, and it could vary from the 25th or the 26th to the 27th or the 28th when the public is supposed to be notified and start their ability to get access to the med beds, 25th or the 26th or the 27th or the 28th one of those four days. That's the latest that we've heard about that.
Why does it keep getting moved back? Because the RV keeps getting moved back. We have been pushed and pushed and pushed, as you guys know. So So what about us?
We were told that once the first exchange is done in this country, that the med beds would be available for us anytime after that first exchange is done. And I'll tell you about when that first exchange is supposed to be done in a minute.
So that is telling us that we and I hate to say that I am I don't hate to say it. I love to say that I am one that will be an early adopter into the med bed because I have a dire need, and I'm also a zim holder. Your zim holder and you’re in dire need, you kind of go to the top of the list.
So keep that in mind if you are a zim holder, especially if you have dire need, especially -- and you let them know when you go into the redemption center, that's when you let them know. Hey, I'd like to get into the med bed. I've got issues, this issue or that. Blah blah blah, by the way, I'm a zm holder blah blah blah.
They'll know that very quickly, and they'll make a couple keystrokes to get you in the system so that they're aware of you. In my case, I'm going to have them call me. They may do email too but because I can't read email right now. I'm just looking forward to a phone call to get that done, to get that set up pretty quickly after I exchange.
The other thing is, there's a thing called the COMEX, C, O, M, E, X. It's a commodity of metals exchange. The COMEX has sort of artificially manipulated the price of gold and silver for a long time. It's traded, but it's not traded quite as freely, maybe as it should have been.
The word manipulation comes into play. Well, the COMEX is about being dismantled, and the free market of supply and demand will control the pricing of precious metals, including gold, silver, platinum, palladium, other metals, like copper and so on these some of them are commodities - some are precious metals, and that is all going to be open to, proper trading - like, as of today / tomorrow we're starting to see some movement already on the metals, taking it up.
And like anything else, you know you're going to have ups and you have dips, and then you up and dips, just like buying stock, the smart money, if you will, buys on the dips when the prices are lower, and then you hold it until the prices go up. And that's sort of the theory with precious metals.
And so I wanted to mention that. Mention about the med beds, and let's talk about what we're hearing about us – Now we have several sources. We did get here from three different categories of sources so far today, and I'm excited to say that it appears they're all in alignment. They're in consensus.
One might be a redemption center leader. One might be someone who has very close ties to President Trump and his organization, and so they're all saying the same thing right now, and that is that we should be notified - I'm going to say should - “should” be notified tomorrow with our 800 numbers in the emails that are coming from Wells Fargo and we should set our appointments tomorrow for Thursday, and then exchanges would begin on Thursday, the first day of spring, the vernal equino - Interesting timing.
Now I've got one source redemption center that is saying that notification would happen anytime after 1030 in the morning tomorrow. The other source is saying, don't be so time sensitive - it could happen. the times tend to change for this kind of a thing, but don't put a time on.
But it is supposed to be tomorrow that we get our notifications and set appointments for this to start on Thursday, and then you go Thursday - Friday, Saturday, Sunday, money all the way through. All the way through. Most redemption centers would be open every day, including Sunday for 14 days, some will go longer - 18 /19, days, some will be shorter.
They don't have that many currency holders in their area, or that many zim holders, they might go eight or nine days, but most markets will go about two weeks. So that's good.
If you know anybody traveling, they'll be able to set their appointment and catch that when they get back, whether they're in the hospital, whether they're traveling and they're on a cruise or whatever, they'll be able to make an appointment, and then, of course, allow for the time that they need to get home and get settled and then get to their appointment the next day or whatever.
So it's very encouraging, because Lord knows, we've we've waited very patiently for everything to manifest. I was telling Sue today that, you know, today makes 20 years and three days that I have been invested and owned these currencies.
You know who thought? Who would have thought? 20 years later, this is about to go and you know, guys, I tell you what I hear. I don't doctor it. I don't try to change what I'm hearing, I just try to give you what I'm getting, so that you're essentially getting the same thing I see, they say that I hear.
And I'm excited about where we are and the timing of this, and I find it interesting that a lot of good things have happened already today, and a lot of good things should be happening for us tomorrow and then Thursday should be an absolute Abu and danza of activity for us.
I don't think there's anything I need to bring up about the exchange itself, other than make sure that you call set your appointment, D no more than 10 minutes early to your appointment, and don't be late your appointment, or you might get taken to the back of the line. You missed your appointment time.
Man, you don't want to be that person, but just don't get there more than 10 minutes before your appointment time. Okay? Because that way. Push them that way. If you can get a couple minutes early, they can do it. Otherwise, you come at your point in time and get it done and go
They're allotting about 30/40, minutes for us to get all of these things done. And I think that's going to be adequate, unless you've got a box or two of bonds. And there are people that are going to be bringing in bonds to the redemption center.
Let them know when you call to set your appointment, when you get transferred from your the call center to the redemption center, and you talk a live, living, breathing person that, oh, by the way, not only do I have blah, blah, blah currencies, but I also have bonds. And tell them, which ones you got dragon bonds. I've got German bonds. I've got such and such bonds etc
Let them know approximately how many you have, and they could prepare for that. Make sure they have a bond back there that can handle those for you.
Okay, the other good thing that's happening is the crypto coins you know, are being integrated into the QF System and the Starlink satellite system. And there is a rhyme & reason to the cryptos being there to help back the value of our USN, and there's a relationship between some of the couple of the coins that is allowing for more accessibility and transfer and so on, using this blockchain technology that will allow them to be more convertible. I believe.
I'm not sure how all five are going to come together, but it may be, there may be a consolidation in the future, all five states stand on their own that are integrated through the blockchain technology to be usable as a means of exchange. But we'll see that all comes together.
We know that there's a crypto currency reserve, and that is part of what President Trump brought out, like what two weeks ago or so, it can be utilized to help back the value of our currency, talking about the United States Treasury notes, USTN our physical spending folding money and the US digital version, which is what will be on the screens USN - so we have quite a bit to look forward to, I think the exchanges are going to be, don't blink miss something.
There's a lot of steps in this thing to get done in 30 / 40 – 35 minutes Max, that's what they're thinking. Maximum, it's not a time to tell your life story. It's only a time to if you have time to do your presentation. It might not be five to eight minutes. It could be three to five minutes.
So work on getting it consolidated clear. And I think they will appreciate it, and you'll appreciate the rapidity of how quickly they're going to move quickly through this thing.
You are not changing stations. People have said in the past, you are staying put, they're coming to you. And you should have four people, pretty much three or four people that you're going to be working with, and then bring a new person here, a new person there, as you move through the different steps in the exchange.
We got the Q phone that they should be giving you for free at the end. Take it home, learn about it, set it up. There's a, what do you call it? It's a you should have a sheet of perks, p, e, r, k, s, perks, benefits that the bank will want you to know about. Maybe you'll take advantage of some of them.
They're not supposed to be taxable to you. There are supposed to be free to you for being, you know, a valued currency holder and essentially, a strong bank account holder with Wells, Fargo and other banks will have perks too, if you decide that you want to put them up to three different banks connected to your quantum account card.
Okay, that's going to be the biggie, and maybe you want to shorten the process just a little bit by coming up with a brand new username and password for your quantum card. What I don't know is, how many characters does it need to be? Got to be at least eight, the password and maybe more. And then you for your password and your username.
I don't know how long that's going to be. Going to be, too, but if you want to practice on that, going your five digit pin, that's not a big, big thing. You can come up with that right away. And then, of course, your new email, they will like a new gmail email for you, and your password for that, and you’re your biometric thumb or fingerprint, there's six steps really six points of the quantum account that you're setting up getting a quantum access card with a three times the thickness of it of a credit card with three chips in it, one, I'm sure it'll store your biometric and some other personal information, the other two I think, are account related.
So it'll be something that you'll you'll want to keep very safe, very safe and in a safe place. You don’t Bring it out to use it except to move money from your quantum account, to primary bank accounts. So initially, you'll move money on day one at redemption center that will hold you for 60 days. After that you've got per se, and you'll be able to more money, as you need
Remember, you're being paid interest on the money that's in your primary or secondary Wells Fargo accounts. Using Wells Fargo, because they're the ones that are over the exchanges in the United States, in Canada, you're using HSBC Scotia Bank, and I believe they have merged with Royal Bank of Canada, RBC. So you've got those two main banks.
And then, of course, globally, you've got HSBC in most and in Latin America you have Santander Bank. Okay, Santander, believe is also in Mexico and all the rest of Latin America, and they are a tier one bank good bank to work with in Latin America. A lot of people already know that. Know that bank down there, but that's really the bulk of the information.
Gosh, I'm excited about this possibility of tomorrow. I really am, and I hope, I hope this goes through just like we've heard. So let's do this. Let's pray the call out, seal it.
Well, everybody. have a great night tonight. Let's see what happens tomorrow, Thursday. If we get our numbers, tomorrow, and we set appointments, we start on Thursday, a short celebration, call on Thursday night. All right, everybody. Take care and have a great day. God bless you.

BIG BREAKING: SEC DROPS XRP CASE, RIPPLE CEO CONFIRMS
The SEC drops its lawsuit against Ripple after four years, marking a major legal victory for XRP and the crypto industry.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse calls the SEC case a "flawed attack on crypto" as regulators retreat from their claims against XRP.
After more than four years of legal battles, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially dropped its lawsuit against Ripple Labs (pending vote of the commission).
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
BIG BREAKING: SEC DROPS XRP CASE, RIPPLE CEO CONFIRMS
The SEC drops its lawsuit against Ripple after four years, marking a major legal victory for XRP and the crypto industry.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse calls the SEC case a "flawed attack on crypto" as regulators retreat from their claims against XRP.
After more than four years of legal battles, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially dropped its lawsuit against Ripple Labs (pending vote of the commission).
The case, which was filed in December 2020, accused Ripple of conducting an unregistered securities offering by selling XRP.
Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse expressed relief and pride as he reflected on the outcome. “It’s over,” Garlinghouse said, explaining how the case marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing struggle for clarity in the cryptocurrency industry. “Looking back on four years ago, it’s clear to me that this case was flawed from the start. It was the first major shot fired in the war against crypto.”
Garlinghouse went on to explain that, while Ripple faced huge challenges, the company always believed it was on the right side of history.
“I knew we weren’t on the wrong side of the law, and I believed we’d ultimately be proven right. Today’s outcome is a victory for innovation and a long-overdue surrender by the SEC under Chairman Gary Gensler.”
This decision is seen as a major win for the cryptocurrency industry, as it represents the first successful fight against the SEC’s broad interpretation of securities laws applied to digital assets. Garlinghouse credited Ripple’s resources, determination, and grit for pushing back against regulatory agencies.
For many in the crypto community, the SEC’s action was seen as an effort to intimidate the industry, using arguments that they claimed were meant to protect investors but ultimately did more harm than good.
As the crypto industry continues to grow, Ripple’s victory signals a turning point in regulatory efforts, reinforcing the need for clearer guidelines that support innovation without stifling progress.

DUBAI LAUNCHES TOKENIZATION SANDBOX
The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has launched a tokenization sandbox and is accepting expressions of interest through to April 24. The DFSA is the regulator for the Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC).
Applicants could be involved in the issuance, trading, holding, or settlement of tokenized assets. Cryptocurrencies are excluded along with stablecoins. The financial instruments that are tokenized should be similar to conventional securities including equities, bonds, sukuk and collective investment fund units.
As with most sandboxes, the aim is to relax certain regulatory requirements under the supervision of the regulator. Hence, it’s open to companies whether or not they are already DIFC-regulated. If accepted they will be granted a special Innovation Testing License (ITL) that will last from six to twelve months. It appears that the rule relaxations might be assessed on a case-by-case basis. At the end of the ITL period, the entity either will be awarded a full DIFC license or the ITL license will be terminated.
The program supports live market testing and helps firms to clarify the tokenization requirements in the DIFC.
Tokenization rules were introduced in the DIFC in 2021. They support trading by consumers without intermediaries but access must be permissioned, although this doesn’t necessarily rule out the use of a public blockchain.
Tokenization regulations include some additional requirements compared to conventional securities, including informing the DFSA regarding custody arrangements and technology audits.

LIVE UPDATES: FED LEAVES INTEREST RATES UNCHANGED, BUT FORECASTS FUTURE CUTS
The Federal Reserve took a wait-and-see approach to an uncertain US economy Wednesday, opting to leave interest rates unchanged at the close of its March meeting.
That decision leaves the benchmark federal funds rate parked at a range of 4.25% to 4.5%, where it has sat since December. The Fed has now stood on the economy’s sidelines for two consecutive meetings, dating to January, after an unusually busy period of interest rate increases and reductions over the previous three years.
The Fed also kept its forecast for two cuts in 2025.
"We do not need to be in a hurry to adjust our policy stance, and we are well-positioned to wait for greater clarity," said Fed Chair Jerome Powell during a news conference. In Powell's remarks, "clarity," or the lack of it, emerged as a recurring theme.
