BREAKING NEWS: EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK POLICYMAKER SAYS THE UNITED STATES POLICIES IN RECENT WEEKS HAVE ERODED CONFIDENCE IN THE US DOLLAR
Plot twist.
“U.S. President Donald Trump said he would temporarily lower the hefty duties he had just imposed on dozens of countries…”
Gold… New record high in US dollar terms. Welcome to the era of gold.
Are we getting closer to a Bretton Woods moment? We very well could be.
Read: GOLD TELEGRAPH
THE FORT KNOX QUESTION: PRELUDE TO A NEW SYSTEM?
In 1944, the world's most powerful leaders gathered in Bretton Woods to discuss the future and write the rules of a new global monetary order. There's one critical detail many forget... The United States controlled the lion's share of the world's gold, granting it the power to influence the outcome and define the system itself.
Fast forward to today: • The President of the United States is calling for an audit of the gold held in Fort Knox.
The current Treasury Secretary? • He says he has been called gold bug throughout his career. With the trade war now in full swing, change is certainly in the air.
According to a top economic adviser to the U.S. President, more than 50 countries have approached the United States to begin trade talks. Are we getting closer to a Bretton Woods moment? We very well could be.
The U.S. Treasury Secretary previously said: "We will need a grand global economic reordering, and I'd like to be a part of it. I've studied this." Last week, Scott Bessent explained in an interview with @TuckerCarlson why gold remains so interesting and also pointed out that the entire global trading system was once anchored to gold until Nixon took the U.S. off the standard.
The world is shifting. Quietly, but unmistakably. Nations are accumulating gold, questioning old alliances, and preparing for a future no longer tethered to the previous rules.
What once seemed unshakable is now under review, from Fort Knox to the foundations of international trade. We've seen this before. Power consolidates, confidence erodes, and a new system emerges, often born not in the spotlight but behind closed doors.
The question now isn't if we're approaching another Bretton Woods moment. The question is: Who will define it this time?
Bank of France chief and ECB policymaker says the United States policies have eroded the confidence in the dollar. Big.
From last week: GOLD TELEGRAPH
THE EROSION OF TRUST: THE TIMES ARE CHANGING.
For years, I have exposed the dangers of the West's growing reliance on sanctions and the blatant weaponization of the financial system, freezing sovereign reserves and eroding global trust.
These are not acts of diplomacy but signals of a crumbling world order. How can countries NOT unite in an environment like this to seek alternatives?
In just one year, the US dollar has lost over 35% of its purchasing power against gold, driven largely by central banks aggressively stockpiling bullion. This is no longer a trend; it's a warning shot.
All this is unfolding as BRICS nations grow more unified, and fractures deepen among Western allies. The global balance isn't just shifting; it's unravelling.
Many people were surprised yesterday when Japan, South Korea, and China signalled they would JOINTLY respond to the United States tariffs. Who are the two biggest owners of US treasuries among countries?
1. Japan
2. China
Members across Europe are voicing their unease with this current economic flexing environment. Nations are racing to secure critical minerals, not just for supply chains but for sovereignty.
As many are beginning to realize, true sovereignty starts with one thing: zero counterparty risk.
That path leads straight to gold.
The world is waking up to the fragility of the fiat monetary system. I never said it would be pretty.
Janet Yellen says the United States trade war is the worst self-inflicted wound in history. But she leaves out something crucial… The weaponization of the Western financial system, including the freezing of sovereign reserves under her watch, helped ignite the global reset.
Never forget: As Secretary Janet Yellen is asked about her concerns over the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency… The Treasury Department sign falls off. The universe sometimes has a way to make us all laugh.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1910411041495998793
This prediction is starting to look good. I will admit, it’s taken longer than I would have liked.
Five years ago: GOLD TELEGRAPH
I have very high conviction gold bugs are going to finally have the last laugh in the next 1 - 5 years. The last bubble will be the gold bubble... and it’s going to be because of the transfer from the sovereign bond market into physical gold and miners. Going to be epic.
The mainstream is staring at their screens, baffled. Good. Gold is tearing through years of swallowing the lies, and spitting back truth.
Treasury yields have gone vertical. Right now? Gold is following… This is not a drill. The U.S. has a historic opportunity to help restore monetary integrity.
Where to start? By issuing a gold-backed Treasury instrument. The clock is ticking… @judyshel
BREAKING NEWS: CHINA WILL RAISE TARIFFS ON ALL UNITED STATES GOODS FROM 84% TO 125%

Welcome everybody to the Big Call tonight, it is Thursday, April 10th , and you're listening to the Big Call. Thanks for listening everybody all over the globe. Thank you. Oh man, what a day, what a night. It's been a good day, though. Thanks for tuning in. We're really pleased that you guys have come back to get another dose of the big call, and I'm excited to be able to give it to you, and I have some explanation as to why we haven't received this as of today, okay? And we actually have an answer for the reason.
Now let's get into where we are in terms of Intel. I told you guys at the outset of tonight's call that I would find out where we are. But why didn't we go today? We were thinking we would get started either yesterday or today, with the toll free numbers being delivered to us. And it didn't happen.
Well, I found out why it didn't happen, especially why it didn't happen today, because for sure, we would be notified today. Well, two things happen there. Elon Musk sent up 40 satellites in the last few weeks to help complete the StarLink satellite system, or at least complete for now, these 40 satellites, we had a couple of them that needed to be reoriented correctly. They needed to be re synced. Let's call it synchronized with everything. Needed some adjustment.
Okay, that's one reason. The other reason that might be even more prominent is that you guys remember Jerome Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve. Well, Jerome Powell needed to get relief of duty, and he resisted, but President Trump insisted by contacting the Supreme Court to make sure that he could do that, and he was able to relieve Jerome Powell with the Fed of his duty at guess when? 9 o'clock tonight, Eastern, the start of the big call. Well, that's good.
Why is it a big deal? All I can say is, the Fed is dead. We don't have any reason to have it anymore. And really there's nothing. There's nobody left in the Federal Reserve building, just like there's nobody left in the IRS building. The remnant of those two organizations have been folded into the new US Treasury.
So whatever remnant is there that we need to keep, that's where it's going to be controlled from in the new US Treasury. So that's the reason we couldn't go today. They had to go ahead and make that move to remove Jerome Powell as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Basically the Fed is dead.
All right, we've been saying about that for a while now. It finally looks like it manifested tonight at nine o'clock. Now, other things that are happening, first of all, some of you guys, probably with 401K or pension funds, or whatever they're invested in, the stock market saw the market take a major dip Thursday and Friday, and I think Monday, also this week took a major hit, but it made a real nice comeback yesterday
I didn't see today, but the market made a huge increase back of almost 10% in one day, and I think it may have settled in a little under 10% increase, but basically, the news was that we had a number of countries that really wanted to make a free and fair trade deal with President Trump.
And the last number I had from yesterday, and I think it's still holding today, was 75 countries wanted to work a deal out with President Trump for very low tariffs, if not look tariffs, free and fair trade with our country, which is great. And that's the that was the whole reason to put the tariffs out to begin with.
So President Trump is succeeding in the fact that that is getting these countries, 75 different countries now to the table to put a deal together, all right? And that's really where President Trump is at his absolute best as a deal maker. Okay? Because he wrote the book The Art of the Deal.
He understands how to do it. He's great at and he's great that he's representing our country and making trade deals that will benefit us far in the future. Now, he said, would be a little bit tough for a little while. In other words, with these tariffs, could be a little bit tough for a while.
But one reason the market went up so far yesterday was because the 75 countries came and said, We want to work out a deal. Even China is coming to the party and going to work out a deal. It's all it's all very positive. We're looking at as far as that goes. Now the see where are they going with that.
Okay, the market has made a nice comeback. And the pause, the 90 day pause, that President Trump said was so that there was time for him to meet with each of these countries over the next three weeks.
So we needed a pause in the tariffs so that they don't take effect, so that we can so that we can work out fair and free trade deals for the countries. So this is all part of getting the country to come to the party and make a fair trade deal, right? So that's what we're that's what happened, in case you're winning now.
Well, will the stock market take a hit, is it rebounding? well, it did nicely yesterday. I don't see what did it, but don't worry about it will get rebalanced. It will come back, probably exceed even before it dropped earlier this week and last week.
All right, so let's talk about where we are. You know why we can go Wednesday or Thursday? Could we go tomorrow, Friday, the word I'm getting right now from these are upper pay masters with Wells Fargo or people that are talking to other leaders that are redemption center leaders, seven redemption centers under their purview.
Okay, what we're hearing from this individual is that, yes, tomorrow is definitely in play for the 800 numbers to be released, and for the exchanges to start over the weekend, Saturday or Sunday. And that is what I've heard today that came out, that we have to just say,
Okay, this is what I'm hearing. You know, maybe this is what's going to actually happen. Maybe it is on a Friday, and we get started Saturday or possibly sunny and go right on through Saturday and Sunday are being treated the same. Would it start on a Sunday? I'm not sure.
For a long time, I didn't think they would, but now I think they would do it all right, today is the 10th of April. Easter is the 20th of April, and we have heard that the stations and the start of exchanges and exchanges are to be underway before Easter, maybe well before Easter, Sunday, 20th of April.
Now, what else is supposed to happen by or before the 20th our DOGE direct deposits are to be made to those of us who are on social security and getting a direct deposit from social will also get our DOGE payment by social by direct deposit to your bank account or the Social Security is that you receive it.
Okay, so that's good. Now let's say you're not on Social Security. Let's say you're 55 or 60 or 62, but you've chosen not to be on Social Security until you're 65/67 or 70. Okay, what about you that are there waiting to even sign up for Social Security? Well, if you have a bank account, which most of you do, I think all of you do.
They know about it, and you get your DOGE deposit by direct deposit through that account. Even though you're not on Social Security, you'll get it on that account as a direct deposit. All right, so that should happen. We believe, for all of us, before the 20th or by Easter Sunday, which is the 20th .
So that should happen, we should get our RV 800 numbers put out, either now, tomorrow or over the weekend, and we should be good to go
Now, Do you guys remember when we talked about Iraq, and Iraq was asked or told by President Trump's address to Alok, the head of the CBI, which we call the SBI, now the sovereign Bank of Iraq, and also to Dr sit on Al shababi, who was the head of the CBI for a long time, when I first got into the currencies 20 years ago Dr shabibi was the man he's still probably “the man”.
He was the head at that time of the CBI. Well, President Trump spoke with both Dr Shabibi and I Alak, a, l, a, k, I believe, about the about getting everything done that Iraq needed to do by yesterday, the ninth.
Well, they came pretty close, because this morning, at 2am on the 10th Iraq put out and has an international rate for their dinar. Do I know what it is? No. Do I care? No, but it is an international rate that was put out for the people to see this morning at 2am the morning.
Now, where does that put us? We have tried to get in touch with our contacts in Iraq through our Iraqi American contacts, and they've been blocked again today. They've been blocked in terms of trying to speak with people in Iraq, it's just blocked. They can't get in. The communication won't go through.
So does Iraq need to celebrate this new international rate on the dinar for three days so they can celebrate their new rate? I don't know guys. I've heard it said, I've heard it said, it's not necessary for that to happen. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
All I know is that if they celebrate, it could be three days that they have that rate on their own, and that would be Thursday, today, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Now. What does that mean? We can still get notified Saturday or Sunday? Yeah, I think.
But I don't know that the three days is necessary for Iraq. I really don't know that's such an old concept that we've heard so many long time ago. I don't know this valid or not, the contacts can't determine if it's valid. So, we're just going to let this come to us when it does.
All right. Now, let's see where else we are in the morning. What if it's after four o'clock when all the markets are closed? You know, it's hard to pin it down.
Very few people actually know when it's actually going to go I'm supposed to be the one to receive the toll free number when it was available, so that I can put it out – I hoped to put it out on the call tonight. Didn't happen. This is a pre celebration call, not a celebration call. It's pre celebration whatever, whatever that means. It's just a call with more up to date information that we can have that we can use to stay grounded as we move forward in this
So we are at the position right now where we are waiting for something to happen. Let's call it by the weekend. We don't know exactly when but we believe it could very well be tomorrow, Friday, and we set appointments Saturday or Sunday. It's hard to say. Are they still arresting people? Is there still some clean up?
Yes, it is. There is. And we are letting that happen because it ultimately will be very, very good for our country to rid ourselves of the deep state and the ones that have held us back for so long.
So I'm feeling like that's a good thing. All right. That is it. As far as that goes. That is what we're hearing and sounds like we're just about there. that we were at the finish line, across the finish line.
Maybe now, over this weekend, we'll cross it. We'll have to see, see what happens, pay attention, and we'll have to see how everything goes. And then we'll go about having our weekend
All right, everybody take care and have a great weekend. We will see you. Maybe we'll have a celebration. Call the numbers. Come in, just do a recorded call for you. Otherwise, we'll see what happens. Okay? So we know everybody have a great weekend.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Afternoon 4-11-25
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
CHINA IMPOSES NEW TARIFFS, BLAMES US FOR GLOBAL TENSIONS
China has responded sharply to U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest tariff hike, calling the United States a “joke” and imposing retaliatory tariffs of its own, as European Union leaders prepare an unusual visit to Beijing amid growing global trade tensions.
Xi Criticizes Trade Isolation
China responded forcefully on Friday to a dramatic tariff increase by the United States, announcing a 125% tariff on American goods and calling the U.S. approach to trade “economic bullying,” the Times of India reports. The move came just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump raised duties on Chinese imports to 145%, a decision that Beijing said violated international trade rules.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
CHINA IMPOSES NEW TARIFFS, BLAMES US FOR GLOBAL TENSIONS
China has responded sharply to U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest tariff hike, calling the United States a “joke” and imposing retaliatory tariffs of its own, as European Union leaders prepare an unusual visit to Beijing amid growing global trade tensions.
Xi Criticizes Trade Isolation
China responded forcefully on Friday to a dramatic tariff increase by the United States, announcing a 125% tariff on American goods and calling the U.S. approach to trade “economic bullying,” the Times of India reports. The move came just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump raised duties on Chinese imports to 145%, a decision that Beijing said violated international trade rules.
In a statement, China’s commerce ministry accused Washington of turning the tariff dispute into a “numbers game,” stating that such actions lacked economic rationale and only served to undermine U.S. credibility. “The successive imposition of excessively high tariffs on China by the U.S. has become nothing more than a numbers game,” a ministry spokesperson said. “It merely further exposes the U.S. practice of weaponizing tariffs… turning itself into a joke.”
China Imposes New Tariffs, Blames US for Global Tensions
The Times of India report explains that the new tariffs will take effect on Saturday, according to China’s State Council Tariff Commission. The Chinese government emphasized that the action was defensive in nature and framed it as a necessary response to what it called “completely unilateral” moves by the U.S.
On Truth Social, Trump proclaimed, “We are doing really well on our TARIFF POLICY. Very exciting for America, and the World!!! It is moving along quickly.” During the interval when he temporarily halted certain global tariffs, he added that China remained in the crosshairs “based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets.”
The Times of India further noted that President Xi Jinping also weighed in, saying China is not intimidated by external pressure. Speaking with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Xi declared, “There are no winners in a trade war, and going against the world will only lead to self-isolation.”
European Union Officials Reportedly Set to Visit Xi in July, Yuan Weakens
As the standoff escalates, Bloomberg and the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that top European Union officials are reportedly preparing a rare mid-year visit to Beijing for talks with Xi.
Citing five unnamed sources, the SCMP disclosed that the visit could take place in late July, breaking with tradition that typically sees the Chinese delegation travel to Europe.
The move signals the EU’s interest in aligning more closely with China on trade, especially as it faces potential fallout from the U.S.’s aggressive tariff strategy. Xi has urged European partners to unite in resisting what he called “unilateral bullying.”
Meanwhile, China filed two complaints with the World Trade Organization (WTO) to challenge the legality of the U.S. tariffs, while Xi prepares for diplomatic visits to Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia in a bid to strengthen regional alliances amid mounting tensions.
As of April 11, 2025, the Chinese yuan (CNY) has exhibited a modest recovery in its valuation against the U.S. dollar. Just two days prior, on Wednesday, April 9, the yuan slipped to depths not seen in over 17 years, settling at 7.3498 per dollar—its weakest close since Dec. 2007.
In parallel, the DYX Dollar Index on Friday registered a three-year low against a composite of major fiat currencies, touching 99.314 in the early trading session.

XRP SET TO EXPLODE? RIPPLE AND SEC FILE JOINT REQUEST
XRP shot up almost 3% in the past 24 hours after Ripple and the SEC submitted a joint filing for a 60-day pause to their appeals and cross-appeals.
▪️Ripple and SEC pause legal battle, signaling a near-final settlement that could reshape crypto regulation.
▪️XRP trades near critical resistance at $2.10, with RSI and Bollinger Bands hinting at an imminent breakout.
▪️The SEC withdrew its appeal in March against Ripple Labs, sparking settlement rumors.
American fintech firm Ripple and its cryptocurrency XRP are once again the center of attention in both legal and market circles amid a notable development in the legal battle against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
At press time, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2.02, up 2.83% on the day, with technical indicators hinting at a potential trend reversal, as per CoinMarketCap data.
Legal Clarity in Sight: A 60-Day Pause Toward Settlement
Ripple and the SEC have jointly filed a motion to place their respective appeals and cross-appeals in a 60-day temporary suspension, suggesting both parties are edging closer to a settlement.
According to the filing, the pause will give them time to finalize an agreement-in-principle that could resolve the lawsuit completely, pending approval from the SEC.
This marks a crucial development in the landmark case that began in late 2020, when the SEC accused Ripple of conducting unregistered securities sales via XRP.
The case has held major implications for how cryptocurrencies are regulated in the United States.
A changing political climate, sparked by the election of President Trump, appears to have softened the SEC’s stance on crypto overall.
In recent months, the regulator has dropped lawsuits against other major crypto firms such as Coinbase and Kraken.
Last month, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed that the SEC had already withdrawn its appeal against the ruling that said the firm’s programmatic XRP sales didn’t violate securities laws.
Ripple, in turn, has decided not to pursue its cross-appeal.
With both sides easing up and aiming to conserve resources, the groundwork is laid for a negotiated conclusion to one of crypto’s most closely watched legal sagas.
XRP Price Analysis
From a technical standpoint, XRP is currently navigating a critical juncture. The daily chart reveals that the price is hovering just below the 20-day EMA at $2.10, a key resistance level.
A clean break above this could catalyze further upside momentum.
The Bollinger Bands are tightening, with the upper band at $2.50 and the lower band at $1.77, indicating a period of volatility compression.
This often precedes a breakout, though the direction remains uncertain. A move above $2.10 with strong volume could see XRP test the upper band around $2.50, while a rejection could drag it back toward the lower band near $1.77.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 44.61, with its moving average at 39.76, still in neutral territory but edging upward.
This suggests that momentum is gradually building after a prolonged cooldown phase. If RSI crosses above 50, it could signal a bullish shift in sentiment.

•Global capital quietly repositioning
This isn’t collapse.
It’s planned demolition.
9: Final Thought:
While people wait for a dramatic “announcement”…
The reset is already underway in plain sight—
One corridor, one bond, one bilateral trade shift at a time.
The world won’t wake up to the reset.
It’ll wake up in it.

Ariel: A Financial Liberation Milestone for Iraq
4-11-2025
Iraqi Dinar Update:
Supreme Court Ruling – A Financial Liberation Milestone
On April 10, 2025, the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling that obliterates financial barriers for the Kurdistan Region, mandating uninterrupted salary payments to KRI employees directly from the Federal Ministry of Finance a decision that secures the release of the 2025 budget without delays.
Ariel: A Financial Liberation Milestone for Iraq
4-11-2025
Iraqi Dinar Update:
Supreme Court Ruling – A Financial Liberation Milestone
On April 10, 2025, the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling that obliterates financial barriers for the Kurdistan Region, mandating uninterrupted salary payments to KRI employees directly from the Federal Ministry of Finance a decision that secures the release of the 2025 budget without delays.
This ruling, initiated by the President of the Republic, enforces a continuous payment mechanism, getting away excuses like “technical issues” or “trial balances,” and ensures coordination between the Federal Ministry and KRG’s Ministry of Finance to align with Central Bank of Iraq settlement protocols, even allowing employees to choose their preferred banks.
For Dinar holders, this is a seismic shift: the court’s order to amend Article 12, Paragraph (c) of the 2023 Budget Law forces KRG to contribute oil revenues to the federal treasury, signaling a unified fiscal structure that could stabilize the Dinar’s value, potentially paving the way for a 1:1 or 3:1 (or higher) exchange rate by ensuring Iraq’s economic cohesion.
Budget Ratification – The Trigger for RV/RI Activation
The Supreme Court’s decision, coupled with late March 2025 progress on salary disbursements, indicates the 2025 budget was likely ratified between March 25 and April 5, 2025, setting the stage for an imminent
Revaluation/Reinstatement (RV/RI) of the Iraqi Dinar projected to activate between April 15 and May 31, 2025, with a slight chance of extending to early June if ratification lagged to early April.
This timeline is critical because the court’s removal of salary payment obstacles eliminates a key bottleneck that has historically suppressed Iraq’s financial reforms, allowing the budget to flow freely and fund economic restructuring vital for a currency reset.
Dinar holders should see this as a green light: a ratified budget, backed by judicial muscle, means Iraq is operationally ready to revalue its currency, potentially delivering the long-awaited 1:1 or 3:1 rate as global confidence in Iraq’s fiscal stability surges.
CBI International Card Rules – A Global Financial Reentry
On April 8, 2025, the Central Bank of Iraq rolled out new regulations for international bank card usage, a move that positions Iraq as a reemerging player in global finance effective immediately with a 30-day activation delay for new cards, setting transaction limits like $10,000/month for retirees, $20,000/month for travel, and $50,000/month for medical treatment abroad.
The CBI’s directive, targeting banks, non-banking financial institutions, and electronic payment firms, ensures compliance across Iraq’s financial ecosystem, with foreign currency available at the official rate via an e-governance system a clear signal of currency stabilization efforts.
For Dinar holders, this is electrifying: international transaction limits and official rate access suggest the CBI is preparing for a stronger Dinar, likely aligning with a 1:1 or 3:1 (or higher) exchange rate to facilitate seamless global trade and boost investor trust in Iraq’s economy.
Strategic Implications – Why This Changes Everything
The convergence of the Supreme Court’s ruling and CBI’s international card rules marks a pivotal moment for Iraq’s economic sovereignty, directly impacting Dinar holders by accelerating the RV/RI timeline mid-April to late May 2025 is now a high-probability window for activation, driven by the court’s enforcement of fiscal unity and the CBI’s global financial integration.
The court’s mandate to integrate KRG oil revenues into the federal budget ensures a revenue stream that can back a revalued Dinar, while the CBI’s structured limits on international transactions (e.g., $20,000/month for merchants) demonstrate Iraq’s readiness to handle increased currency demand without inflation spikes.
For those holding Dinar, this dual action is a clarion call: Iraq is dismantling its financial silos, aligning its economy for a currency reset that could deliver the 1:1 or 3:1 rate, transforming your investment into a historic windfall as Iraq reclaims its place on the world stage.

Now, we did see a Dong rate just on Friday, so that's going in the right direction, and expected to be a little higher than that when we go in for exchanges.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
TRUMP MAKES HISTORY SIGNING FIRST CRYPTO BILL INTO LAW - THE LAW REPEALS THE IRS’S CONTROVERSIAL 'DEFI BROKER RULE'
In a historic move, President Trump has signed into law a bill that blocks the Internal Revenue Service from collecting tax reporting data from decentralized crypto platforms.
It marks the first time a cryptocurrency-specific piece of legislation has become law in the United States.
The bill, introduced under the Congressional Review Act by Republican Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) to repeal the IRS’s so-called “DeFi broker rule,” passed the Senate on March 26 with overwhelming bipartisan support in a 70–28 vote. A similar version, led in the House by Congressman Mike Carey (R-OH), had passed with a comparable ‘supermajority’ just two weeks earlier.
The controversial DeFi broker rule, introduced in the final days of the Biden administration, would have required decentralized crypto entities, such as exchanges without a central governing body, to comply with traditional IRS reporting requirements.
Critics argued that the mandate was overly burdensome, risked stifling innovation, and could significantly hinder growth in the DeFi sector.
“This rule would have undermined American leadership on cryptocurrency and I am grateful to President Trump for signing my resolution into law,” Cruz, who attended the signing ceremony Thursday afternoon, told Crypto In America. “The resolution is a victory for innovation, privacy, and economic freedom.”
“We are protecting the developers who are building the future of cryptocurrency, making clear that the United States will not cede digital leadership to China, and preserving the ability of Americans to conduct transactions without government interference,” Cruz added.
The move is being hailed as a victory by industry leaders who are looking to the crypto-friendly Trump administration to safeguard the rights of builders and software developers, who felt they were unfairly targeted by the regulation-heavy Biden administration.
“This bipartisan action underscores our nation's commitment to fostering innovation and ensuring that Americans retain the freedom to choose how they transact, said Amanda Tuminelli, CEO of the DeFi Education Fund, an advocacy group focused on decentralized finance. “President Trump’s signature is a critical signal change for the crypto industry: the United States has embraced a sensible, forward-thinking approach to digital assets.”
The bill signing marks the second major win for DeFi proponents this week, following a Monday memo from the Deputy Attorney General clarifying that the DOJ will no longer pursue software developers for actions taken by third-party users on their platforms.

SEC DROPS SUIT AGAINST HELIUM FOR ALLEGED SECURITIES VIOLATIONS
The agency's lawsuit against Helium was its final action under former Chair Gary Gensler, aiming to penalize a crypto firm for a token launch.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dismissed a lawsuit against Nova Labs, developer of decentralized wireless network Helium, for allegedly issuing unregistered securities, Helium stated in an April 10 blog post.
Filed in January 2025, the lawsuit was among the SEC’s final enforcement actions against a cryptocurrency developer under former Chair Gary Gensler, who stepped down from his post on Jan. 20 after US President Donald Trump took office.
The dismissal with prejudice means the blockchain developer cannot be charged with similar violations again for issuing in 2019 its native token Helium, the company said.
“[W]e can now definitively say that all compatible Helium Hotspots and the distribution of HNT, IOT, and MOBILE tokens through the Helium Network are not securities,” Helium said.
“[T]he outcome establishes that selling hardware and distributing tokens for network growth does not automatically make them securities in the eyes of the SEC [and] that the SEC cannot bring these charges against Helium again,” it added.
The SEC’s Helium reversal came the same day Trump-nominee Paul Atkins formally replaced Gensler as SEC Chair after a lengthy confirmation process in the Senate.
Helium is a blockchain network designed to let “anyone build and own massive wireless networks,” according to its website. The protocol reports having roughly 375,000 active hotspots.
According to CoinGecko, HNT has a market capitalization of approximately $480 million as of April 10 — down from highs of more than $5 billion in November 2021.
Changing policy stance
Under Gensler, the SEC brought upward of 100 charges against Web3 developers for various alleged securities violations.
Since Trump took office, the SEC has sharply reversed course, dropping numerous charges against crypto firms, including Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple and Uniswap.
Trump has positioned himself as a pro-crypto President, promising to make America the “world’s crypto capital,” appointing industry-friendly leaders to key regulatory posts, and ordering the federal government to create a national Bitcoin reserve.
For some crypto executives, Trump's policies — such as announcing sweeping tariffs on US imports in April — threaten to stymie crypto’s progress.

5 Ways The Rockefellers Created Generational Wealth
5 Ways The Rockefellers Created Generational Wealth
The Rockefellers Are Still One of the Richest Families of All Time — 5 Ways They Created Generational Wealth
Dawn Allcot Sun, May 12, 2024
Only 10% of family wealth makes it to the third generation, according to a landmark Williams Group wealth consultancy study reported by Reuters in 2015. But a handful of families throughout history have managed to buck this “third generation curse” to create a legacy that has lasted for centuries. Among the best known are the Rockefellers.
How John D. Rockefeller Built His Wealth
John D. Rockefeller was one of the most famous business moguls of the 19th and early 20th centuries, building his family’s fortune through the Standard Oil Company. His company controlled 90% of the U.S. refineries and pipelines at a time when a need for oil was increasing thanks to the introduction of internal combustion engines and growing demands for electricity, according to History.

How John D. Rockefeller Built His Wealth
John D. Rockefeller was one of the most famous business moguls of the 19th and early 20th centuries, building his family’s fortune through the Standard Oil Company. His company controlled 90% of the U.S. refineries and pipelines at a time when a need for oil was increasing thanks to the introduction of internal combustion engines and growing demands for electricity, according to History.
Rockefeller had amassed a net worth of nearly $900 million by 1912, according to Smithsonian Magazine. That’s equivalent to about $28 billion in today’s dollars and a staggering sum by 1912 standards.
Ultimately, the Supreme Court ordered the dissolution of the Standard Oil Trust, declaring it in violation of antitrust laws. The move broke Standard Oil into a number of businesses that used the Standard Oil name. Subsequent mergers created oil and gas industry leaders like ExxonMobil and Chevron.
The Rockefeller family’s name and wealth live on — And so do its philanthropic efforts, including $500 million John Rockefeller personally gifted to charities.
The Rockefeller Family Today
The Rockefeller family is 200 members strong and has a cumulative net worth of $10.3 billion, according to Forbes. The wealthiest and most prominent family member of this century, David Rockefeller, was the world’s oldest billionaire at 101 years old, with a net worth of $3.3 billion when he died in 2017.
How the Rockefellers Created Generational Wealth
What did the Rockefeller family do right that so many other families fail to implement?
Accounted for Every Dollar
Whether your net worth measures in the seven figures or you’re living paycheck to paycheck, every dollar without a specific job is in danger of being wasted. The Rockefellers have a team of financial managers to ensure that every dollar is put to good use, leveraging their money to make more money.
Established a Family Office
The Rockefellers were the first family to establish a full-service single family office in the U.S., according to Deloitte. The Rockefeller Global Family Office manages all facets of the family’s wealth, investments and business dealings.
Created Irrevocable Trusts
The Rockefellers use irrevocable trusts, which heirs cannot easily change, to ensure that money gets passed on as it should, according to Barrons. An irrevocable trust removes assets from your taxable estate, which means your heirs might not pay tax on that money. An irrevocable trust can also protect those assets from lawsuits or creditors, which can provide a benefit if you are a high-profile personality or in a high-risk career where you might get sued.

Tishwash: One of them is in Iraq... the 10 largest oil fields in the world
The question "Where is the largest offshore oil field in the world?" is widely asked in global economic and energy circles, particularly in light of recent developments in the oil industry and the drive by producing countries to increase their production capacity.
According to data from the Encyclopedia of Oil and Gas Fields, the obvious answer is that the world's largest offshore oil field is located in Saudi Arabia. The Safaniya field has a long history of production and huge reserves that the Kingdom continues to exploit.

Tishwash: One of them is in Iraq... the 10 largest oil fields in the world
The question "Where is the largest offshore oil field in the world?" is widely asked in global economic and energy circles, particularly in light of recent developments in the oil industry and the drive by producing countries to increase their production capacity.
According to data from the Encyclopedia of Oil and Gas Fields, the obvious answer is that the world's largest offshore oil field is located in Saudi Arabia. The Safaniya field has a long history of production and huge reserves that the Kingdom continues to exploit.
The increased focus on identifying the location of the world's largest offshore oil field stems from global competition for energy resources, as Saudi Arabia seeks to strengthen its position as the world's largest oil producer and exporter through massive development projects for the Safaniya offshore field.
The question also arises: Where is the world's largest offshore oil field located? While a number of countries, such as China, are making new offshore discoveries, the Safaniya field retains the title of the world's largest in terms of proven reserves and total production.
Saudi Safaniya field
The Safaniya field in Saudi Arabia is the world's largest offshore oil field. It is located in the Arabian Gulf, approximately 200 to 260 kilometers north of Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. It has been operated by Saudi Aramco since its official discovery in 1951.
The Safaniya field extends over an area of 50 kilometers in length and 15 kilometers in width, and contains proven reserves estimated at approximately 15 billion barrels of heavy oil, while total production extracted from it to date has reached more than 19.2 billion barrels.
Exploration work on the world's largest offshore field began in 1939, after Aramco geophysicist **** Kerr noticed an underwater high area. This reinforced his prediction of the presence of massive oil reservoirs, which was later confirmed when oil began flowing in large commercial quantities on August 15, 1951.
The Safaniya offshore field represents a key pillar of Aramco's strategy to expand offshore production. It is also the fifth-largest oil field in the world in terms of total proven reserves and production, according to Saudi oil field data from the specialized energy platform.
The 10 largest oil fields in the world
The Safaniya field's importance extends beyond its status as the world's largest offshore oil field. It also plays a key role in the global energy mix, strengthening Saudi Arabia's position as a global energy powerhouse, especially as its expansion plans continue through 2027. link

Tishwash: After Greece, Sulaymaniyah hosts the Delphi Economic Forum.
Deputy Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, Qubad Talabani, revealed on Thursday that the city of Sulaymaniyah will host the next edition of the Delphi Economic Forum, considering it an important opportunity to encourage foreign capitalists to invest in Kurdistan and Iraq.
"Although the Middle East is experiencing a state of instability, we in the Kurdistan Region have decided to make the right decision within the framework of federal Iraq, which is to work to consolidate security and stability in the region. This is what the Kurds have been fighting for for many years," Talabani said during a panel discussion at the 10th Delphi International Economic Forum in the Greek capital, Athens.
“Based on this principle, our relations with Europe, the United States, and even Australia are steadily improving, because we, as Kurds, have always been open to the outside world, strive to live in freedom, and have made great sacrifices in this regard. We have worked to protect stability in Kurdistan, Iraq, and the region,” he added. “Because our region naturally provides many job opportunities, we want to encourage future generations to invest and become entrepreneurs, and we are working to benefit from modern technology in this field.
What is gratifying is that these efforts are receiving great attention in the city of Sulaymaniyah, because in the future, oil will run out and we will have to rely on our own energies and capabilities.”
Regarding the gas issue in Kurdistan, Talabani noted, "The world is talking today about natural gas in Kurdistan, and we want to harness this wealth to serve the well-being of the region's citizens." He noted that "the provinces of Erbil and Sulaymaniyah have witnessed significant prosperity recently, but we want further development."
Regarding the role of women in the Kurdistan Region, Qubad Talabani said: “No country will achieve success if women do not play a role in managing the state’s institutions. In the Kurdistan Region, we pay great attention to women’s capabilities, because the country needs women’s roles. If we want to build an effective society, we need active women.”
Regarding the talks to form the new government, Qubad Talabani explained, “We recently held successful elections in the Kurdistan Region, in which a large percentage of citizens participated. Now, there is a great rapprochement between the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the two main parties in the regional government.
Our efforts are continuing to form the new government cabinet, as we want to address the shortcomings that existed previously and manage the region well.” He added, “Given the conditions the region is going through, we want to form an effective government. Our efforts to automate government institutions are also ongoing, and we are paying great attention to creative youth in this field.”
Regarding the region's relations with other countries, Qubad Talabani said, "We are pleased with our good relations with our partners in Europe, the United States, and other countries, and we are working to develop these relations."
He praised the Delphi Forum in Greece. He also expressed his pleasure with his meetings in Greece regarding strengthening relations in the fields of economy, agriculture, tourism, and civil aviation, and pointed to the "commencement of direct flights between Athens and Sulaymaniyah in the near future."
Talabani revealed that "the city of Sulaymaniyah will host the next edition of the Delphi Economic Forum," considering it "an important opportunity to encourage foreign capitalists to invest in Kurdistan and Iraq." link
