Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

CME GROUP TO LAUNCH XRP FUTURES IN MAY

Top derivatives firm, CME Group, is set to launch XRP futures in May, offering more options for traders in the digital asset market.

▪️Derivatives marketplace CME Group will launch XRP futures on May 19, pending regulatory approval.

▪️Contracts are available in two sizes, cash-settled with a daily reference rate.
Other firms like ProShares filed for three XRP futures ETFs with the U.S.SEC.

▪️Other firms like ProShares filed for three XRP futures ETFs with the U.S.SEC.

Global leading derivatives marketplace CME Group has confirmed adding XRP futures to its list of cryptocurrency derivatives products.

The launch is planned for May 19, pending the green light from regulators. This recent development is part of the firm’s continued effort to meet growing demand from investors looking for alternatives in the digital asset market.

Details on the New XRP Futures Contracts

According to CME Group, the XRP futures will be available in two contract sizes. As detailed, one will cover 2,500 XRP while the other will be much larger, representing 50,000 XRP.

It is worth mentioning that both contracts will be cash-settled. Pricing will be based on the CME CF XRP-Dollar reference rate, a daily benchmark calculated at 4:00 p.m. London time.

This rate reflects the value of XRP in U.S. dollars and is used to provide a consistent and fair settlement process. This addition will expand CME Group’s existing digital asset offerings.

The CME Group exchange currently provides futures and options for the most prominent cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum. It also expanded its crypto offerings with the launch of Solana (SOL) futures. With XRP now added to the lineup, CME is ready to provide traders with a broader range of tools to manage their exposure to digital assets.

Since entering the digital asset ecosystem, the exchange has recorded a consistent increase in interest in its crypto products. In the first quarter of 2025, the average daily volume for crypto futures was 198,000 contracts. This represents a notional value of $11.3 billion, showing strong year-over-year growth.

Open interest also grew to an average of 251,000 contracts, equal to $21.8 billion in notional value. SOL futures, which began trading in mid-March, recorded more than 43,000 contracts traded, with a total notional value of $705 million.

Rising Demand for Regulated XRP Offerings

CME Group’s decision to offer XRP futures reveals the increasing role of regulated financial instruments in digital asset trading. Based on market sentiment, as more investors seek alternatives for BTC and ETH, exchanges respond by introducing products linked to other tokens.

XRP, the cryptocurrency associated with Ripple Labs, has gained attention for its practical use in financial transactions. Its speed and low cost have made it popular among everyday users and institutional investors.

With XRP’s inclusion, CME Group is widening access to futures trading in an evolving space. This also signals that traditional financial institutions are paying closer attention to how digital assets can fit into mainstream portfolios.

In addition to CME Group’s announcement of launching XRP futures, the digital asset has made headlines lately following the conclusion of the Ripple vs. SEC case. The settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has arguably renewed confidence in XRP’s position, paving the way for increased institutional interest.

Coinspeaker noted earlier that ProShares has joined the race for the XRP ETF. In a recent SEC filing, the firm revealed plans to launch three XRP futures-based ETFs. This move signals growing competition and a more competitive investment appetite in the XRP space.

BRICS: CHINA OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES PLAN TO PROMOTE ITS OWN PAYMENT SYSTEM

BRICS member China officially rolled out a plan to promote its own payment system to replace SWIFT. The Communist country aims to reduce US dollar dependency to confront Washington’s aggressive stance on trade and tariffs. The new plan was jointly released by the Shanghai municipal government and the People’s Bank of China, the country’s central bank.

The new payment system from BRICS member China will incorporate the Chinese yuan through the Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS). China wants to leverage its dominance in the manufacturing and trade sector and push the Chinese yuan for settlements.

BRICS: China Will Take on SWIFT Through CIPS Payment System

The BRICS country China revealed that it will “enhance the functionality” of CIPS and challenge the Western-dominated SWIFT payment system. “Promote the use of the renminbi in belt and road partner countries, and build a trade and investment service system based in Shanghai to facilitate the global circulation and use of the renminbi,” the plan stated.

The plan also states that the Xi Jinping administration will strengthen financial support to Chinese enterprises “going global”. “Enabling all types of market players to engage in international competition and cooperation in a safer, more convenient and efficient manner,” read the report.

China will also allow other BRICS members to settle cross-border transactions without the US dollar in the new payment system. Beijing is looking to internationalize the Chinese yuan and make it a common currency for trade among developing nations.

Settling cross-border transactions in the new payment system will not only strengthen the Chinese economy but also uplift the BRICS alliance. The development could cause harm to the US dollar as more countries will stop using it as a form of payment for trade.

Stocks, Bonds, and the US Dollar are all Breaking

Stocks, Bonds, and the US Dollar are all Breaking

Wealthion:  4-24-2025

The financial markets may be teetering on the edge of a major repricing event, according to Jesse Felder, founder of The Felder Report.

In a recent interview with James Connor on Wealthion, Felder issued a stark warning: stocks, bonds, and the U.S. dollar are all dangerously mispriced, potentially setting the stage for significant upheaval.

Felder argues that despite persistent recession signals, the S&P 500 remains dangerously overvalued. He highlights the concerning trend of retail investors driving a leverage-fueled bubble, while corporate insiders are simultaneously cashing out their holdings – a classic sign of market irrationality.

The narrative surrounding the tech sector, often seen as a haven in uncertain times, is also showing cracks. Felder points out that optimism is waning, evidenced by AI giants freezing capital expenditure spending, suggesting a potential slowdown in the very sector driving market enthusiasm.

The bond market, traditionally seen as a safe haven, is facing its own unique challenges. According to Felder, surging deficits and persistent inflation could trigger a “vigilante revolt,” as investors lose confidence in the government’s ability to manage its debt. This could lead to a sharp increase in bond yields, further destabilizing the financial landscape.

Adding to the complexity, Felder believes the Federal Reserve may soon find itself in a policy trap. Facing political pressure, the Fed might be forced to monetize debt, potentially exacerbating inflationary pressures and undermining the dollar’s credibility.

Finally, Felder suggests that the U.S. dollar may have entered a long-term bear market, marking a significant shift in the global macroeconomic landscape. This weakening of the dollar could have far-reaching consequences, impacting everything from international trade to investment flows.

Jonathan Wellum, CEO of Rocklinc, weighed in on Felder’s analysis, revealing his firm’s cautious stance. Acknowledging the potential for market volatility, Wellum disclosed that Rocklinc is currently holding a substantial 28% cash position. This strategic move reflects a defensive posture, allowing the firm to capitalize on potential opportunities that may arise during a market correction.

Despite the overall bearish outlook, Wellum emphasized that opportunities still exist in today’s volatile markets. He pointed to specific areas where value can be found, though he didn’t explicitly detail them in the excerpt.

Felder’s warning and Wellum’s cautious approach underscore the importance of vigilance in the current market environment. While predicting the future is impossible, the confluence of overvalued assets, unsustainable debt levels, and potential policy missteps suggests that the risk of a major repricing event is elevated.

Investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance, diversify their portfolios, and be prepared for potential volatility ahead.

 Whether a full-blown “reset” is imminent remains to be seen, but the warning signs are certainly worth heeding.

Thursday Coffee with MarkZ. 04/24/2025

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good morning Mark, Z, and all the rest of this RV family. Looks like a great day for an RV!

Member: Question: Markz are exchange center worker contacts working now thru Sunday?

MZ: My Redemption Center contacts have not checked in. they usually let me know on Friday if they expect to work on the weekend or not. I’m guessing someone is reporting that they are?

Member: Yes- that’s the rumors floating around today.

MZ: There are a lot of Bond folks right now that are expecting final contracts. They have originating wires for payment. Now we are waiting to see the money move.

Member: So wires were sent…..they just need the money in their accounts to be spendable?  

MZ: There are a number of groups that have their staffs on “stand-by” to come in and start working. A few have called people in to start preparing and lay down the groundwork on how to handle it ect…..

Member: I wonder if it’s gonna be a shotgun start or trickle out from East to West??

MZ: If they don’t go all at once……It’s a good opportunity to get more currency. If they don’t do it all at once….there will be double dipping. I believe they will do it all at one time.

Member: so do you know anyone with currency that has exchanged for dollars yet?

MZ: I do not know anyone that have exchanged currency for real money….yet.

Member: When bond holders are paid –do they help fund the currency holders or are they separate entities?

MZ: They are separate entities….but their liquidity in the banks helps to pay us.

Member: Wolverine is a bondholder. He says we are about to see the RV….He has many sources, including a South American platform. He lives in Australia.

Member: Hypothetically, once you cash in the first basket currency, what would be a good currency to purchase to catch the second basket.

MZ: That is going to depend what ends up in the first basket and what doesn’t?  I will work on a list of what I think could be next.

Member: Possible  first basket:  1. US 2. UK 3. Kuwait 4. Canada 5. Mexico 6. Russia 7. China 8. Venezuela 9. Iranian Rial 10. IRAQ 11. Indonesia Rupiah 12. Malaysia 13. Vietnamese 14. Brazil 15. Saudi Arabia 16. Qatar 17. United Arab Emirates 18. Turkey 19. Afghanistan possibly 20. India 21. Libya 22. Japan23. Zimbabwe

MZ: The biggest ones I am looking for are Iraq, Vietnam, Indonisia and Zimbabwe.

Member: I pray the Bolivar is in the first basket as well.

Member: Does anyone know what the revalued the of the Indonesian Rupiah will be?

Member: its always been thought to come out at $1.47….we shall see

Member: Should we take all our different currencies with us to the redemption center?????

Member: I think you would be foolish not to. Take everything and they will tell you what they will exchange.

Member: Reports are at 6:13am Iraq time the CBI posted a rate of 480IQD to 1 USD. Stayed posted for 19 minutes before they changed it back to the normal 1310.

Member: The Iraq Stock Exchange and Iraqi Securities Commission signed a strategic MOU with the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Wednesday, to join Tabadul digital trading platform.

MZ: “Iraq markets signs a memorandum of understanding with Abu Dhabi market to join the Tabadul platform” This means Iraq is fully international.  This should mean they need a fully international rate on the dinar. Bare minimum…they need a real effective exchange rate (REER) if not a reinstatement or revaluation.

MZ: “ An unimaginable fortune: 55 billion tons of iron discovered in hidden reserve worth trillions of dollars  and set to reshape global industry”  this massive iron ore deposit is in Australia and worth trillions.   I believe this is part of the move to the commodity cycle.

Member:  Many countries are making huge wealth discoveries that could be used to back currencies.

Member: Eventually ALL currencies be on-par with each other……hope that happens after we exchange though. ??

Member: I’m retiring next Friday May 2. I sure hope and pray we RV this year

Member: I hope and pray we RV this week…lol

Member: Mark- Your best guess…Are we days or weeks away?

MZ: My guess would be just as useless as anyone else’s….but I would guess possibly next week. But it’s just a guess

Member: if you've been in this for any amount of time,you realize that everything they told us would happen is happening, maybe not as instant as some would like, but,steady common sense decisions.

Member: My exchange outfit is ironed and ready. Just need a notification!!!!

MZ: Charlie Ward is doing a golf tournament next week. I will be there for the gala Wednesday Night and speaking on Thursday. Zester will be speaking as well at 3:30 and 3:50 May 1st. I am thinking my topic may be on the history of resets and sound money.

MZ: Tonight we start a half hour early at 6:30 est. Will be having a guest on for “red light healing”

Member: Hope Everyone has nice plans for the weekend. Have a great day today

Global Currency Reset:

Tues. 22 April 2025 Wolverine: “Everything is ready to go, just waiting for the Green Light and will have an opera night to celebrate. Not long to go guys. Please pray.”

Tues. 22 April 2025 Bruce: Bond Holders were told today that their accounts will be available as soon as tomorrow. They have been paid since Sunday night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE BLACK SWAN HAS LANDED: Black Swan events are lightning strikes in history—rare, explosive, and only obvious in hindsight. Today’s Black Swan is nothing less than the ignition of NESARA and GESARA, the global reset that resets the rules of money, power, and control.

PHASE TWO: THE DAWN OF A NEW FINANCIAL WORLD: Protocol 19 has triggered the shift. The world’s financial system is being dismantled and rebuilt in real time. The old guard is done.

The Swift system collapses into the Quantum Financial System—a new realm of transparent, secure transactions.

Bitcoin’s dominance fades as asset-backed currencies rise—stable, regulated, and grounded in real value.

The media monopoly falls as Starlink and the Odin Project decentralize global communications.

The dollar and euro step aside as gold reclaims its throne as the foundation of global wealth.

~~~~~~~~~~~

NESARA: THE RESET BEGINS: NESARA, the National Economic Security and Recovery Act, delivers what the world has demanded for decades—a reset for the people:

All personal debts—gone. Credit cards, mortgages, loans wiped clean.

The IRS abolished. Income tax erased. A new flat sales tax replaces the corrupt system.

Seniors’ benefits increase, offering dignity to those who built the nation.

Constitutional law returns to the courts, restoring justice.

This is the foundation of a new America, unshackled from the banking elite.

GESARA: THE GLOBAL VISION: GESARA takes NESARA worldwide, reshaping every corner of the earth:

Citizenship revoked for globalist operatives—barred from reentry for life.

New elections globally. Emergency powers dismantled. Democracy restored.

A new Rainbow Currency, backed by precious metals, ends the era of fiat manipulation.

This is not reform—it’s global liberation.

THE HIDDEN TRUTHS EXPOSED: NESARA/GESARA aren’t just economic shifts—they unlock the hidden history:

Birth certificates, once sold as collateral, returned to the people.

The Federal Reserve dismantled. The Treasury takes control of the nation’s money.

Over 6,000 suppressed technologies—free energy, antigravity, healing machines—released to the world.

A NEW WORLD AWAITS: Financial privacy restored. Constitutional justice enforced. Global military aggression ceases. Massive humanitarian funds released. A technological renaissance begins.

The Black Swan has struck. NESARA and GESARA are no longer a theory—they are the mechanism that will shatter the old world and build the new. Trump’s Phase Two is in motion. The reset has begun.

Mnt Goat   Article:  “AL-NUSAIRI CONFIRMS THAT THE CENTRAL BANK’S APPROACH TO BANKING REFORM AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTES TO ACCELERATING IRAQ’S ACCESSION TO THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION.”   what is holding it up?   Remember the WTO did already tell us Iraq has met all the requirements. They told us this over a year ago.  Does Iraq need a globally traded currency for “full accession”?

Militia Man   Article:  "The central bank's approach to banking reform and development contributes to accelerating Iraq's accession to the World Trade Organization."  Iraq hasn't had full accession yet.  And we always believe they won't have it quite yet until they are fully international.  But the point is Iraq showing they are ready to go with what they have been doing.  The news is really exciting because it supports all of that.

Iraq CBI Announcement on Debit/Credit Cards Outside of Iraq

Edu Matrix:  4-23-2025

BREAKING NEWS: The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has issued a new statement impacting credit and debit card holders outside of Iraq.

Effective immediately, a $5,000 monthly limit is set for most travelers, with higher allowances for retirees ($10,000), merchants ($20,000), and those seeking medical treatment abroad ($50,000).

This move is part of the CBI’s broader effort to regulate international transactions and prepare for global financial integration. This news is critical for investors in the Iraqi Dinar (IQD), particularly those residing outside of Iraq who are waiting for easier access to Iraqi bank accounts and digital currency services.

In other updates: Iraq observed a national moment of mourning as church bells tolled across Mosul, following the passing of Pope Francis, the first pope to ever visit Iraq.

In a surprising political and religious development, Iraq has voiced support for the head of the Chaldean Catholic Church in Baghdad to become his successor.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Al-Sudani and top defense leaders marked the 94th anniversary of Iraq’s Air Force at the “Ur 2” joint air exercise at Balad Air Base, showcasing Iraq's growing regional air capabilities.

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Thursday Morning 4-24-25

The Central Bank Renews Its Warning Against Trading In Withdrawn Banknotes.
 
April 22, 2025   In recent years, this bank has observed the circulation of foreign banknotes from various countries,  some of which are genuine and in circulation,  others withdrawn from circulation, and 
some counterfeit.
 
Such banknotes are used by unscrupulous outlaws to defraud citizens by luring them into exchanging them for Iraqi dinars at prices far exceeding their actual value.

They claim that exchanging them offers them significant profits and rare investment opportunities.
 
Therefore, the Central Bank of Iraq calls upon the public and the specialized security and regulatory agencies to monitor these matters and refrain from handling these banknotes.
 
They should focus on Iraqi banknotes and those handled by the Central Bank of Iraq and the banking system, to avoid falling prey to outlaws.  Central Bank of Iraq     https://cbi.iq/news/view/2860  

Al-Sudani's Advisor: Annual Returns From Investing Reserves Are No Less Than $2 Billion.
 
Money and Business  Economy News – Baghdad  The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Tuesday that the "annual returns" from investing foreign reserves are no less than $2 billion, according to his estimates. Saleh said,
 
"These investments are often short-term and  directed toward US, European, or British treasury bonds, 
with the goal of achieving appropriate returns."

He added, "These investments are characterized by low risk and generate appropriate returns, and the invested assets can be quickly converted into cash without incurring losses."

Saleh pointed out that "profits generated from reserves are divided into two types: the  first is realized, represented by direct interest, and the  second is unrealized, resulting from diversifying the investment portfolio, in addition to realizing potential profits from exchange rate differences between currencies and gold."

The Central Bank of Iraq previously revealed a decline in foreign reserves for 2024, reaching 130.81 trillion dinars, a 10.18% decrease compared to the same period in 2023, when these reserves reached 145.64 trillion dinars. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=54462    

Will The Government Resort To Mandatory Deposits For Citizens? These Obstacles
 
Time: 2025/04/21 22:48:02 Reading: 4,920 times {Economic: Al Furat News} The head of the Iraqi Economic Alliance, Adi Al-Alawi,
 
warned of the major challenges facing monetary and fiscal policy in Iraq,
emphasizing that financial reform requires real tools for transformation,
most notably the independence of the central bank.
 

During his appearance on the "Free Talk" program on Al Furat satellite channel this evening, Al-Alawi pointed out that:
 
"The most prominent problem lies in the lack of effective oversight of banks," stressing that
 
"the Central Bank is in one valley, and the banks are in another, as the latter
 
     do not adhere to official instructions and
     operate according to special policies,
 
which has caused the banking system to lose real control over it." He added that
 
"strict oversight represents the Central Bank's best weapon in controlling banking activity,"
 
calling for "a move toward a cashless economy despite a deep-rooted crisis of confidence among citizens in the banking system due to past experiences, including the seizure of funds in the 1990s and the subsequent bankruptcy or failure of some banks." Al-Alawi stressed that
 
"citizens cannot be forced to deposit their money in banks, even within the legal framework, because that would have negative repercussions." He pointed out that
 
"persuasion must be achieved through incentives," revealing that
 
"the number of shops and commercial companies registered with the Iraqi Chambers of Commerce is 1.2 million,
 
while the number of unregistered ones is 2.8 million,
 
bringing the total to approximately 4 million outlets." He explained that
 
"the mentality governing the Iraqi economy remains socialist,
despite the official transition to a market economy following the 2005 constitutional vote," suggesting that
 
"Iraq's budget is close to $100 billion or more, and was supposed to generate $12 billion from non-oil revenues."
 
Al-Alawi called for "a five-year tax freeze to
 
     regulate corporate operations and
     alleviate concerns about joining the financial system,
 
which could bolster the state treasury by $17 billion currently missing due to dollar-selling mechanisms."

In the same context, Al-Alawi revealed that
 
"the Central Bank has agreed with two international companies,
 
    one specializing in bank mergers and the
    other in private sector restructuring,
 
to submit a comprehensive study next July on the struggling banks."

Banking Sector Update
 
Economic 04/15/2025  Yasser Al-Mutawali  Iraq has recently witnessed significant improvements on the political, economic, and security fronts, which has had a positive impact on attracting foreign and Arab investments, particularly in the banking sector.
 
The increasing presence of foreign and Arab banks in the country is evidence of a recovering investment environment and reflects government efforts to enhance economic stability.
 
Among the most notable positive indicators that have contributed to strengthening the investment environment are regional and international cooperation and Iraq's openness to Arab and international countries.
 
This has boosted investor confidence and encouraged Arab banks to expand their presence in Iraq, which is relied upon to provide advanced financial services, such as trade finance and Islamic banking, in addition to supporting the private sector and joint investments.
 
This step represents the optimal means for global integration through the entry of international banks, reflecting the return of investor confidence in the Iraqi economy.
 
Meanwhile, the Iraqi banking reform process, undertaken by the government to address the challenges facing the banking sector and keep pace with the digital age and international requirements, is proceeding along two parallel tracks.
 
The first involves reforming private banks, led by the Central Bank, and ensuring compliance with international standards and the implementation of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing requirements.
 
This includes lifting the ban on dealing with Iraqi banks and cooperating with international companies to develop the technical infrastructure.
 
The second path is being adopted by the government to modernize state-owned banks, with support from the executive branch.
 
This involves improving efficiency and adopting modern banking systems to reduce corruption, increase transparency, integrate with the private sector, and encourage partnerships between banks.
 
It's worth noting that there are obstacles hindering banking development, including bureaucracy, legal complexities, weak digital infrastructure in some local banks, and the need for qualified human resources to manage modern financial systems.
 
This goal aims to create a modern banking system that supports the national economy.
 
However, complete success requires accelerating reforms to ensure compliance with international standards, transforming Iraq into an attractive financial center that contributes to economic diversification and the creation of new job opportunities, thus strengthening its regional and international standing.
 
In any case, there is no alternative but to integrate with the global financial and banking climate, after comprehensive reform is completed, with the aim of creating a unified national banking market, directing banking credit towards investment, driven by the promising economic stability our country enjoys.   https://alsabaah.iq/112899-.html

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

US STABLECOIN PLANS IGNITE EU REGULATORY DISPUTE

U.S. endorsement of cryptocurrencies and promotion of dollar-based stablecoins has reportedly sparked tensions between the European Commission and the European Central Bank.

ECB Dollar-Based Stablecoin Concerns Overblown

U.S. President Donald Trump’s endorsement of cryptocurrencies is reportedly causing a tiff between the European Commission (EC) and the European Central Bank (ECB), which sees this embrace endangering Europe’s financial system. According to a Politico report citing an ECB policy paper, the central bank’s demand for the rewrite of laws governing cryptocurrencies is at odds with the EC, which views the former’s concerns as alarmist.

As stated in the report, the commission believes the Frankfurt-based ECB’s demands are an affront and challenge to its lawmaking authority. The reported spat between the two bodies comes as some in the European Union continue to voice concern over the growth of cryptocurrencies and dollar-based stablecoins.

For instance, the Italian economy minister recently warned that dollar-based stablecoins pose an even greater threat to the euro than the ongoing trade war. In the past, the European Union (EU) said it would prioritize promoting the digital euro, the continent’s answer to dollar-based stablecoins.

However, planned U.S. reforms, including a White House executive order and the STABLE and GENIUS acts, are expected to significantly expand the American stablecoin industry, potentially reaching a $2 trillion supply by 2028, according to British bank Standard and Chartered. This projected growth has triggered warnings from ECB President Christine Lagarde and digital payments head Piero Cipollone.

MiCA Rules Cannot Withstand Dollar Stablecoins

According to the report, both Lagarde and Cipollone believe Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) rules are not strong enough to withstand dollar-based stablecoins. They fear that an avalanche of dollar-based stablecoins could end up rerouting European savings into the U.S. The ECB officials’ dim view of MiCA, however, is not shared by EC officials, who reportedly made their feelings known at a recent meeting.

An anonymous diplomat who attended the meeting is quoted in the report explaining how EC officials rebuffed claims made by Lagarde and Cipollone.

“The Commission was quite clear that they had different views on this topic [and] not very many [countries] supported the idea that we should now jump the gun and start making quick changes in [the rules] based on this alone,” one of the diplomats said.

The official suggested that the European Central Bank (ECB) is amplifying concerns about stablecoins to gain political backing for its digital euro project. The initiative aims to create a pan-European payment system to protect Europe’s financial infrastructure from crypto assets.

However, the EC has defended the effectiveness of MiCA rules and insisted that it’s too early to assess the impact of the U.S. crypto resurgence on EU markets.

NEW AI AGENT LAUNCHES ON MAY 10: GROK AI BASED CRYPTO AGENT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING

A new AI agent—powered by Grok AI—is set to launch on May 10, and it could change everything for retail traders during this crypto bull run.

In major news, MIND of Pepe launches its AI agent on 10 May. Much more than just a trading bot, $MIND is an autonomous intelligent actor that ingests and analyzes all types of market data in real time.

As such, it is also much more than just a meme coin. MIND of Pepe threatens to do for crypto what ChatGPT and Grok are doing for research and content generation – opening up a whole new world of invention. $MIND is a brain that not only analyzes but also acts. It can start trends as well as respond to them. It can even create brand new tokens.

Two of crypto’s dominant narratives in 2025 are still charging forward: meme coins and artificial intelligence. These narratives echo the explosive energy that fueled last year’s bull run. The launch of the MIND of Pepe AI agent marks the next stage of truly usable and useful AI for crypto market participants and users.

Now, as Q2 kicks off and the market regains its momentum, one question is on everyone’s mind: Can these trends continue to lead the charge?

There’s good reason to believe so. Meme coins remain one of the most accessible entry points into crypto, deeply rooted in internet culture, powered by viral energy, and driven by loyal communities. Meanwhile, AI is only just beginning to show its full potential, with new use cases emerging rapidly as the technology evolves.

And now, these two trends collide in one of the most talked-about projects of the year: MIND of Pepe ($MIND) – a crypto AI agent that gives the internet’s most iconic meme a neural upgrade.

The result? A meme coin with a brain – engineered to help investors identify opportunities, whether the market is pumping, dipping, or moving sideways.

Right now, $MIND is priced at $0.0037315 in its ongoing presale, but that price will rise in less than two days as the next tier kicks in.

CoinGecko Analysis Suggests Meme Coins and AI Will Still Dominate 2025

CoinGecko’s Q1 2025 report confirms what the market’s already feeling – AI tokens and meme coins continue to dominate investor interest, accounting for a combined 62.8% of all attention.

AI tokens now lead the charge with 35.7%, surpassing meme coins at 27.1%.

In 2024, meme coins ruled the first two quarters, cooled off in Q3, and peaked again in December with renewed retail participation. AI tokens, while active, played a secondary role.

But this year’s different. To lead the narrative again, it’ll take more than recycled hype. Investors are now looking for substance behind the memes – and real-world utility behind the AI. The project needs to offer tools, tech, and tangible value.

.For instance, tokens like Artificial Superintelligence Alliance ($FET) and Ocean Protocol ($OCEAN) – both critical to AI agent infrastructure –  have been gaining serious traction, rising more than 32% and 28.4%, respectively, over the past week

In that same vein, MIND of Pepe is quickly capturing attention, not just riding the AI narrative, but helping redefine what it means in the crypto space.

MIND of Pepe Is The Ultimate Meme Coin Fusion With AI

In a market still driven by meme energy and AI utility, MIND of Pepe is emerging as the fusion point – a Pepe-themed, AI-powered token that doesn’t just react to trends but hunts them down and turns them into profit potential for $MIND holders.

Built on Ethereum, MIND of Pepe functions as an autonomous AI agent. It scans X (formerly Twitter), tracks crypto sentiment, and identifies early-stage opportunities before they go mainstream.

Holders can access these insights through a sleek, ChatGPT-style dashboard – trained specifically on crypto-native data – that answers questions, analyzes market conditions, and broadcasts real-time trade ideas.

But this AI doesn’t just listen. It acts. MIND of Pepe can interact with influencers and creators to amplify hype around trades it flags – and when the market’s quiet, it can dig even deeper.

With on-chain access and its wallet, the agent can interact directly with dApps and create new tokens based on trend signals it detects, pushing the boundaries of what meme coins and AI agents can do.

It’s a next-level leap – and the momentum shows. The project has already raised over $8.2 million, making it one of the fastest-moving presales of the year.

KTFA:

Clare: Central Bank: We are committed to building a more inclusive and equitable digital financial system.

4/23/2025- Baghdad

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) emphasized on Wednesday the importance of the media's role in supporting financial inclusion and spreading financial literacy, while also underscoring its commitment to building a more inclusive and equitable digital financial system.

In her speech at the Ninth Scientific Conference (Third International) of the College of Media at the University of Iraq, under the theme "Artificial Intelligence in Media: Prospects for Innovation and Challenges of Cultural Dialogue"

The bank's Assistant Head of Financial Affairs, Adhraa Taha Mohammed, said, "This conference reflects the bank's vision to promote financial inclusion, implement government directives toward the use of electronic payment methods, and the role of the media in spreading financial literacy."

She added, "Financial inclusion has become a pillar of economic and social development. It doesn't just mean individuals having access to banking services, but also empowering them to make smart financial decisions that contribute to improving their lives and supporting the stability of society as a whole." She emphasized that "the media's vital role is not limited to raising awareness, but extends to building a solid financial culture that enhances trust between citizens and financial institutions."

She explained that "the government's drive to promote the use of electronic payment methods has become an urgent necessity imposed by modern developments, which requires all parties, whether academics, journalists, or institutions, to work together to guide society."

She emphasized that "media colleges play a pivotal role in preparing media professionals capable of delivering financial messages in innovative and credible ways, bringing economic concepts closer to all segments of society, especially marginalized groups or those previously excluded from the traditional financial system."

She emphasized that "the Central Bank of Iraq is committed to actively participating in building a more inclusive and equitable digital financial system, and is opening doors to cooperation with universities, researchers, and all relevant parties to achieve this goal. This can be achieved by: organizing workshops and seminars within universities to introduce students to the concepts and importance of electronic payments, providing technical and cognitive support for university research focused on digital transformation and digital finance, encouraging financial innovation among students by urging the financial sector to offer financial products and services tailored to the student segment, and offering accessible digital solutions. It also aims to involve students in awareness campaigns as active contributors to spreading a responsible financial culture in society."

She concluded by saying, "This integration between the Central Bank and universities aims not only to increase the use of electronic payment tools, but also to create a financially and technically literate generation capable of leading the national economy toward greater progress and modernity." She emphasized that "investing in financial awareness within universities is an investment in Iraq's future and the best path to achieving true and sustainable digital financial inclusion."  LINK

Clare:  Kurdistan PM Welcomes U.S. Delegation, Discusses Religious Freedom, Unity, and Political Progress

4/23/2025  ERBIL —

Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Wednesday, April 23, received a high-level U.S. delegation led by Riley Barnes, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor at the U.S. Department of State.

The meeting, attended by U.S. Consul General in Erbil Steve Bitner, emphasized America’s continued engagement in the Kurdistan Region and began with the delegation expressing their appreciation for participating in Kurdistan’s National Prayer Breakfast Day.

A key focus of the discussions was the Kurdistan Region’s commitment to peaceful coexistence and religious freedom. PM Barzani and the delegation explored the current state of interfaith harmony in the Region, which has long been recognized as a safe haven for religious and ethnic minorities amid regional unrest.

The talks also highlighted pressing political developments, particularly the urgency of forming the new Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) cabinet. Both sides underlined the importance of resolving internal political issues swiftly to maintain stability and continue development.

In addition, the conversation touched on the timely resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region—a matter with significant implications for both regional economics and Erbil-Baghdad relations.

This meeting underscores the continued strategic partnership between the United States and the Kurdistan Region, particularly on issues of governance, human rights, and religious pluralism.   LINK

Clare:  Trump to ‘Strengthen Ties’ with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE in Visit Next Month

WASHINGTON DC, United States — 

U.S. President Donald Trump will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) next month, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday. 

Trump’s trip to the three Gulf countries will take place between May 13 and May 16.

Originally, that trip was scheduled to be Trump’s first trip abroad, underscoring the importance of those countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, in the administration’s policy making.

That is a continuation of Trump’s approach from his first term in office. Then, Trump made his first trip abroad to Saudi Arabia.

However, with the death of Pope Francis, Trump his first trip overseas in his second term will be to Rome, where he will attend the pope’s funeral on Saturday. 

In addition, Qatar’s Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who is also his country’s Foreign Minister, is visiting Washington, and he met on Tuesday with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. 

Strengthening Ties with Middle Eastern Allies

“The president looks to strengthen the ties between the United States and these countries” that he will be visiting next month, Leavitt said on Tuesday, as she discussed Trump’s upcoming trip.

Although Saudi Arabia is the focus of this diplomacy, it is broad and far-reaching, and it includes the Kurdistan Region as well.

This diplomacy goes back to the first days of Trump’s second term. Saudi Arabia served as the site for the initial talks that the Trump administration held related to its mediation of the war between Russia and Ukraine. 

That event marked the first of a series of meetings between senior U.S. and Saudi officials. It is now culminating in Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia.

Thus, in mid-February, Rubio and National Security Council Advisor Michael Waltz travelled to Saudi Arabia, where they met with Russian officials. In that context, they also saw the Saudi Crown Prince and de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman.

Then, at the end of February, the Saudi Defense Minister, Khalid bin Salman, continued that diplomacy with a visit to Washington.

In March, Rubio and Waltz returned to Saudi Arabia to meet with Ukrainian officials. Again, they also met with Mohammed bin Salman.

And earlier this month, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan al-Saud visited Washington.

In hindsight, those meetings have served to help prepare for Trump’s visit next month to Saudi Arabia, as well as to the much smaller Gulf states of Qatar and the UAE.

Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister

Indeed, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, met with Rubio in Washington on Tuesday.

Qatar hosts the largest U.S. air base in the Middle East, Al Udeid. The British Royal Air Force is also located there.

In their meeting, Rubio and Al Thani “discussed the important strategic partnership” between their two countries, “including close security and economic cooperation and shared efforts to address regional challenges in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria,” the U.S. read-out said.

They also pledged closer coordination, as they “reiterated both countries’ support for greater security and stability in the Middle East and emphasized the importance of increased collaboration on bilateral and regional issues.”   LINK

Clare:  Al-Sudani welcomes Macron's upcoming visit and affirms the convergence of visions between Baghdad and Paris on regional issues.

4/23/2025

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron's upcoming visit to Iraq on Wednesday, stressing the convergence of views between Iraq and France on developments in the region. 

Al-Sudani's media office stated in a statement received by {Euphrates News} that "the latter received the French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot and his accompanying delegation, pointing to the strong relations with France that have clearly developed since his visit to Paris about two years ago and the signing of the strategic agreement. He also welcomed the upcoming visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to Iraq, and stressed the convergence of views between Iraq and France regarding the region." 

The Prime Minister expressed "Iraq's desire to hold the Iraqi-French Business Forum in the capital, Baghdad." He also stressed the importance of stability in the region, particularly in Syria, and the need to adopt the principles of citizenship, peaceful coexistence, and the participation of all components in governing the country. 

For his part, Barrow conveyed the greetings of French President Emmanuel Macron to the Prime Minister and praised his government's efforts to transform Iraq into a successful and attractive investment destination, raising its rankings in the safest categories.

He also stressed "the need to coordinate positions with Iraq, as it is a pivotal country, and to strengthen relations with it, particularly on the economic front, and to encourage French companies to operate in Iraq." 

He also noted his government's commitment to military and security cooperation and the fight against terrorism, in light of the bilateral agreements signed regarding military equipment, stressing that his country's government shares Iraq's position on developments in Syria and the region.   LINK

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 4-22-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 4-22-25

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Tuesday,April 22 and you're listening to the big call. I'm just pleased that we have the call, and that Sue tied me in as I had some technical difficulties with my phone, but hopefully it's not going to be an issue, and we'll make it through the call, which, by the way, I have to apologize for last Thursday's call. Evidently, I don't remember this.

 Evidently I did not turn on the recording, and that's why everybody was concerned. Hey, where's the recording? Where's the recording? Well, I had to re record the Intel at Bob's bequest, and I thought that was a good idea to do that. So unfortunately, we did not get the whole call recorded last Thursday.

Tonight, we heard the call has been recorded. So Sue did a great job getting initiated, so let's do the this pray the call in and then we'll go sue for what should be a really good exciting teaching for us tonight.

 Okay, we've got some intel that I'd like to bring to you guys and I did get a question and Sue brought it over to me that said people want to know what they need to bring in for identification and so on at the redemption center .

 Once you set your appointment, they pretty much know who the Zim holders are. They're not going to know every currency holder, but they know  of you because of the email, and they vetted us out pretty much -  when you go in the KYC or your customer,  If you have a passport -bring it - Bring it any other picture ID. If you have  government ID, you have a driver's license, bring that. That's a really good thing to use. You probably only need one. I'm going to bring two because I have in the wallet and I also have a passport, so I'll make sure to bring those two. You may or may not need a utility bill. It shows that you're paying a monthly bill or something where live. I'm going to bring my gas bill or cell phone bill, so I'll have something to show that I have a place to live.

And I just think that's all you really need to worry about. That KYC  should go in, like less than a minute, and then you're off to looking at the currencies that you have putting, getting those counted and verified on the  Delarue  machine and there. But that's that's it.

Also these stations you stay put, they change or bring something you don't move around in this office – you’ve got three  or four people across from you that are handling it, for example, if you have a lot of currency, they'll have two people on Delarue machines and one person on a laptop and one other person keeping an eye on everything to make sure it's all done above board. Yeah, that's the kind of look that you're going to have.

 You'll have time to do a short presentation. We used to say five eight minutes. It's more probably going to end up being like three to five minutes on your presentation, your project presentation, and what what you intend to do.  –

All right, let's cut to something that's kind of important the rates have come up on the Redemption center screens are continuing to go up. It's important to realize that even if you have Zim, but if you have projects, you're eligible for the contract rate on deinar - So if you have dinar and have any projects, and even if you have zim, other all the other currencies, of course, you can still get offered the contract rate, which looking at yesterday and today, is going to be in the low 80s. for dinar. That's where you are. on it.

Everything on the redemption center screens are moving up. We've got 17 currencies on there that are moving the rates are really good. And Dong is great, dinar is great, and everything else is moving to that range, really good stuff. That's the part that I wanted to tell you about there,

When it comes to what we talk about the bond holders. - we know that bond holders were told as recenyly as last night   today that they expect to have accounts accessible as early as tomorrow, which is Wednesday,

Now bond holders  into five pay masters starting Sunday night and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and probably Friday bond holders. Some are the big whales. Some are small bond holders, but they all should be paid into their accounts over the next five days.

Let's call it Well, it started like I said, Sunday night. So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and may, it may go into Sunday, point that the money is moving. Now you guys have heard St Germain  trust opens every twice a year, Christmas and on Easter  Sunday, you may have  also heard of the Rodriguez trust. – out of the Phillipines - That trust  also opened up Sunday night, just as the Saint Germain trust did.

Now, both of these are large. The Saint Germain trust is humongously large. Consider it a bottomless pit, so in a way  the Rodriguez trust  I thin had 19 zeros – which sounds like a lot - but it's not even, even comparable to the Saint Germain Trust, which is just amazing –

I don't even know if I believe how many zeros I've heard on that, well over 1000 zeros – I don’t even know if there is even a name for the number  of the value of that –

So what you have is  you’ve got St Germain Trust -  funded into GESARA  - and the Rodriguez Trust is funded for NESARA  here for the United States, and so those monies have been moving around the globe into what we call sovereign banks.

We use to use this the term central banks. The central banks have pretty much been closed, and the sovereign banks are the ones that are replacing the central banks around the world. So those funds have gone there, and of course, there's funds moving into Wells so they can be there for our exchanges and redemption of Zim . So that's all moving in the right direction for us

Beyond that when it comes to, well, let's see we talked about that. When it comes to the exchange itself, we should have enough funds to last us very easily for the first 60 days, we'll be able to move money from our quantum account into our primary and possibly a secondary account with Wells Fargo – our go to bank  since its in charge of the redemption centers in the United States,

in Canada, you've got RBC and Scotia Bank, which merged, and you also have HSBC. HSBC, a global Chinese bank, Hong Kong Savings Bank, something that is global, and it's all around the world, and you've got those guys are running the show in a lot of other countries –

in Latin America, Banco Santander, which is Santander Bank, another tier one bank, and then the remaining tier one banks in the United States are Wells Fargo -  Chase - Citibank and Bank of America and Truist bank - Those are all tier one banks

Now we did have some bank shenanigans  going on or early last week, if I remember Right, and some of the smaller banks and branches were not compliant with the quantum financial system.

Well, the ones were non compliant were picked up by HSBC, Wells Fargo Chase Bank and Santander Bank, those four banks stepped up to pick those banks up and put them under their purview, okay? And that's what happened.

So now my understanding is all banks are fully interconnected with the quantum financial system, through the StarLink satellite system, using Blockchain technology, they've got the cryptocurrency, the crypto coin aspect of it in place. And I really think the USN is there in place as our new dollar. We haven't heard it called that yet, but we will very soon.

Now, what about our timing  - bond holders  are supposed to be gaining access to their funds as early as tomorrow, Wednesday.

Redemption center personnel  that we know of that are leaders  are going in – this could tell us something – going in at  9:15 in the morning tomorrow – Wednesday -  until four o'clock in the afternoon. That would be like a first shift, okay? And that is happening every day for the remaining part of this week.

In other words, Wednesdays, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, yes, that's right. Redemption centers open this coming Sunday as the schedule is currently as the current schedule reads, they go in as early as 9:15 and will do that every day, through the end of the week, through the weekend, Saturday and Sunday, even though Sunday is the first day of  the new week.  So that's encouraging to me.

One of the one of our sources, said, get ready for tomorrow. Another one said this is the start of the greatest turnover of wealth, history of the world as of noon yesterday, everything started moving. And I think notifications that we're looking for could very well be out for us tomorrow, by noon.

Now I cant say that’s  an absolute -  they're not going to tell us that it that's what it's going to happen. We're going to have to just watch for your email to come in to see if that holds up. You guys know that I give you the information that I get to the best of my ability, in blocks of information you can use.

I hope that we get notified in the morning, we set appointments and can actually start exchanges tomorrow, the rates that we're looking for are already on the redemption center screens – on Monday -

They were there at the rates they wanted us to go to. Okay, because remember, I told you guys last Thursday, they were working on trading those rates up. They wanted to get those rates higher guess what -  between Sunday night and day there. I don't think that's going to be an issue now

I don't think that's going to be a problem. I think we're going to find that the rates are exactly where they want them to be for us to get started. So remember, if you've got projects, you are entitled to receive the contract rate on dinar. For those of you who have it out there, the Zim is what it's been like. I told you forever. Dong is very high, way higher than I thought it would even get to. And some of the other currencies are in the four to seven range, four to seven, a lot of the other ones.

So really this is coming to a conclusion, I think we're looking at a very, very good middle of the week. So let's see how it goes. We'll see what happens. Let me see if there's anything else in terms of your appointment  that you need to know about.

Okay, we've gone to the part where We're holding up the currency. They're going to probably ask us what we're going to do. They're going to tell us what the rates - total those up after the currencies are done  - we are going to move into creating a quantum account and a quantum card to access your account.

They'll figure that out and teach you about that. You'll come up with  a brand new username and password for t he quantum card - . So, new username new password for the quantum account . 5 digit pin number, that'd be easy,  and then of course, new email  that new email password.

So those things and  biometric thumb print  to use to access to your account  -  you are not going to want to lose it  and go to it when you need to use it -  probably only going to need it to move funds from your Wells quantum account  or another bank if you have one attached to your quantum card – you do not have to do that right away -  

You can add another bank where you want to talk to your site bank. You can do that later. Don't worry. All right. So now you know about that. Now when you come down toward the end, you should be able to get a little bit of currency, of the new USN physical money they didn't want us to take more than $3,000 in the new money, cash there. I'm not going to take more than that. That's plenty.

And of course, after that, you will be given a list of perks, perks that you might want, knowing you could pay for all of them if you wanted to, but they're supposed to be free. That's why they're called perks . And then you also get a Q phone that is a satellite phone that works on the Starlink satellite system. And I don't know what details about it, we'll take that on and figure out how to activate, okay, figure out what you need to do to use it.

You're not going to have time for in the redemption center. You're walking out the door. They'll give you the  phone. Say, here, no, they're not going to be that rude. But, you know, the main thing is to just you will sign an NDA. That's one of the first on an NDA that you won't disclose any of the particulars about this exchange . You know, you have to keep it on the down low.

So I think we've been through that those steps of process, enough for everybody has kind of a feel for, I'm sure, little bit from how I'm describing it, but I think should go very quick very well. You'll have time to give a short presentation of what you were going to do with projects. It's going to be marvelous – I think  everybody should just come on and join the experience, kind of get the big picture and enjoy what's going on. It's a one time shot.

This is a once in a lifetime deal that you're going to go through and the bankers future. Your banks are not going to know what is in your accounts, which is kind of weird because we're used to act, you know, asking a bank teller for our balance, or this one or that one for what's my balance, blah, blah, blah, I don't think they're going to see it. At least they're not supposed to see our balances, and they certainly are not supposed to see quantum account.

Now, initially,  at the redemption center yeah - if we don't, yeah, but they're not going to retain that information. They're all under DNA to NOT share it, you know. So I think that part's going to go okay. Think that'll be fine in this matter of what, you walk out and you go home, or you go back to your office or whatever. Just realize, take your time making big decisions. Sometimes you want to jump on things, buy this and buy that and all that right away, but just kind of take your time.

You know on doing that, you know they're they're going to be there to help you if you need it. But I'm excited like you guys are. I'm hoping this thing comes to an end. Now let's say we do go tomorrow, we get our numbers and we at least set our appointments. Maybe we don't even exchange till Charlie Ward’s Thursday, but we go ahead and maybe we better change starting tomorrow.

I still think we'll probably get together at the regular time for Thursday nights. What would be a celebration call all this comes through for us tomorrow, or the short celebration call on the big call on Thursday night. All right, that's the plan. So Bob knows. Sue knows - And you now you know, and that's that's the way it goes.

So let's see what happens if we do get notified tomorrow  800 number, obviously, we're going to put it on the on the homepage of universe.com and we get it on there. And also, we plan to send out an email to everybody who registered that wanted the 800 number sent to them by email.

We'll do that as well as an email blast.  All right, well, let's do this, Let's pray the call out.

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Wednesday Afternoon 4-23-25

Government Advisor: Development Indicators Place Iraq On The Cusp Of A New Economic Era.

Local | 08:41 - 04/23/2025   Mawazine News – Baghdad  The Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Wednesday that development indicators place Iraq on the cusp of a new economic era, noting that the gross domestic product is pushing Iraq towards sustainable development faster than expected.

Salih said: "The fact that Iraq is the third economic power in West Asia among Arab countries in terms of GDP, after Saudi Arabia and the UAE, is an indicator that extends in two directions. The first is the accelerated ability to achieve significant development progress, confirming the unprecedented speed and development of our country in imposing the great economic and political stability that Iraq has achieved."

He added, "The second relates to the gross domestic product, and confirms, on the domestic level, that our country is an effective economic force in attracting investment opportunities in development areas, provided by the great stability environment in recent years, towards supporting sustainable development at a faster rate than expected."

He continued: "The urban renaissance and the launch of infrastructure and service programs are among the most important activities in government policy and its economic program, and they have not stopped due to their proven success in accelerating, so that our country occupies its geo-economic position as a promising path indicated by high rates of economic growth."

He pointed out that "the positive indicators we see in Iraq's favor among the economies of West Asia have established a new economic era for Iraq, which has begun to accumulate accelerated rates of development preceded by strong stability, which was (a necessary condition) for our country to occupy third place in GDP progress (as a sufficient condition) and with high cohesion."

The Prime Minister's advisor indicated that "the foundation of this cohesion has remained the effective participatory and institutional role of the three authorities: legislative, executive and legal, in overcoming the experience of the difficult years, to achieve the two pillars of the desired progress towards securing the future, and building a future of prosperity, stability and development, which has given the current government program the ability to achieve its positive goals in achieving widespread economic successes, without a doubt." https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=260900

Banks  Economy News – Baghdad  The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) emphasized on Wednesday the importance of the media's role in supporting financial inclusion and spreading financial literacy, while also underscoring its commitment to building a more inclusive and equitable digital financial system.

In her speech at the Ninth Scientific Conference (Third International) of the College of Media at the University of Iraq, under the theme "Artificial Intelligence in Media:

Prospects for Innovation and Challenges of Cultural Dialogue," the bank's Assistant Head of Financial Affairs, Adhraa Taha Mohammed, said, "This conference reflects the bank's vision to promote financial inclusion, implement government directives toward the use of electronic payment methods, and the role of the media in spreading financial literacy."

She added, "Financial inclusion has become a pillar of economic and social development. It doesn't just mean individuals having access to banking services, but also empowering them to make smart financial decisions that contribute to improving their lives and supporting the stability of society as a whole.

" She emphasized that "the media's vital role is not limited to raising awareness, but extends to building a solid financial culture that enhances trust between citizens and financial institutions."

She explained that "the government's drive to promote the use of electronic payment methods has become an urgent necessity imposed by modern developments, which requires all parties, whether academics, journalists, or institutions, to work together to guide society."

She emphasized that "media colleges play a pivotal role in preparing media professionals capable of delivering financial messages in innovative and credible ways, bringing economic concepts closer to all segments of society, especially marginalized groups or those previously excluded from the traditional financial system."

She emphasized that "the Central Bank of Iraq is committed to actively participating in building a more inclusive and equitable digital financial system, and is opening doors to cooperation with universities, researchers, and all relevant parties to achieve this goal.

This can be achieved by: organizing workshops and seminars within universities to introduce students to the concepts and importance of electronic payments, providing technical and cognitive support for university research focused on digital transformation and digital finance, encouraging financial innovation among students by urging the financial sector to offer financial products and services tailored to the student segment, and offering accessible digital solutions.

It also aims to involve students in awareness campaigns as active contributors to spreading a responsible financial culture in society."

She concluded by saying, "This integration between the Central Bank and universities aims not only to increase the use of electronic payment tools, but also to create a financially and technically literate generation capable of leading the national economy toward greater progress and modernity."

 She emphasized that "investing in financial awareness within universities is an investment in Iraq's future and the best path to achieving true and sustainable digital financial inclusion." https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=54761

MZ: The question is Why would they set up the mechanisms to deal with these currencies? This means they can go ahead and train employees , the system is plugged in and they can verify it. The only difference is once the value changes – you will get a lot more for it. To me this is a great sign we are very close.
