Iraqi Dinar Breaking News: 7 Big Mistakes to Avoid When Exchanging Dinar or Dong

4-25-2025

For years, many have speculated about the potential revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) and Vietnamese Dong (VND). The hope is that these currencies will significantly increase in value, potentially offering holders a substantial return on their investment. But are you truly prepared for that revaluation day?

According to Iraqi Dinar Breaking News, the exchange process can be fraught with peril. One wrong move could cost you thousands, or even millions, of dollars. Their latest video exposes the 7 biggest mistakes currency holders make during the exchange process, arming you with the knowledge to avoid these costly pitfalls.

This isn’t just about luck; it’s about preparation. Here’s a glimpse into the critical errors you need to avoid:

1. Missing or Incomplete Documentation: You won’t be able to exchange your currency without the proper paperwork. This includes proof of ownership, identification, and potentially even purchase history. Get your documents in order now and ensure they are easily accessible.

2. Unverified or Damaged Notes: Not all IQD or VND notes are created equal. Learn how to identify genuine currency and ensure your notes are in acceptable condition for exchange. Avoid accepting damaged or suspicious-looking notes.

3. Breaking Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): In some scenarios, you might be asked to sign an NDA regarding the details of your exchange. Breaking these agreements can have serious legal and financial repercussions. Understand the terms and conditions before signing anything.

4. Tax Implications Ignored: The revaluation of a currency can trigger significant tax liabilities. Don’t get caught off guard! Consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to understand the tax implications of your potential gains and plan accordingly.

5. Trusting the Wrong People: The excitement surrounding a revaluation can attract scammers and fraudsters looking to take advantage of uninformed individuals. Be wary of unsolicited offers, guarantees, and high-pressure tactics. Only work with reputable and licensed exchange professionals.

6. Disorganization and Lack of Preparation: A chaotic approach to the exchange process can lead to missed deadlines, forgotten documents, and costly errors. Organize your currency, paperwork, and financial plans well in advance.

7. Failing to Properly Prepare Your 25K IQD Notes (If Applicable): The video highlights the specific importance of properly preparing 25,000 IQD notes. This might involve specific cleaning, handling, or documentation procedures. Failing to follow guidelines for these notes could significantly impact their exchange value.

Investing in the IQD or VND is a speculative venture. While the potential rewards are enticing, it’s crucial to approach the situation with a well-informed and cautious mindset. Don’t let your dreams of financial freedom be shattered by avoidable mistakes.

Take the time to educate yourself, prepare diligently, and seek professional guidance. By avoiding these 7 common errors, you’ll significantly increase your chances of a successful exchange and potentially unlock the financial gains you’ve been hoping for.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

XRP NEWS TODAY: RIPPLE REJECTS 2025 IPO DESPITE SEC WIN – HERE’S WHY

▪️Ripple confirms no IPO plans for 2025 despite previous speculation and legal clarity.

▪️Strong financial standing and strategic acquisitions negate Ripple's need for public offering.

▪️Ripple focuses on growth through acquisitions like Hidden Road to expand its financial reach.

XRP News April 25th: Despite years of speculation and growing chatter in the crypto world, Ripple has officially confirmed it will not go public in 2025. The company behind XRP has decided to take a different route—even after settling its long legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Why Is Ripple’s IPO Delayed?

In a recent interview with CNBC, Ripple’s President Monica Long made it clear: an IPO just isn’t part of the plan. She explained that Ripple is already in a strong financial position, holding billions of dollars in cash.

She added that most companies go public to raise capital or gain more visibility. Ripple doesn’t need either right now.

CEO Brad Garlinghouse echoed her view. He confirmed that Ripple is not seeking outside funding and has no plans to become a publicly traded company anytime soon.

The IPO Talk Has Been Around for Years

The idea of Ripple going public has been a hot topic in the crypto space. Back in 2022, Garlinghouse said an IPO would be considered after the company resolved its legal issues with the SEC.

That moment finally came in late 2023, bringing some much-needed clarity. But even after that, Garlinghouse made it clear: going public is not a top priority for Ripple.

Ripple’s Valuation Has Shifted, But Its Strategy Is Strong

Earlier this year, Ripple repurchased shares at a valuation of $11.3 billion. That’s a drop from its $15 billion high in 2022.

The share buyback raised $285 million, pushing Ripple’s total funding to $318.5 million. The company’s investors include major names like Andreessen Horowitz, Google Ventures, and Founders Fund—proof that confidence in Ripple is still strong.

Acquisitions Over IPOs: Ripple’s New Playbook

Rather than focusing on an IPO, Ripple is expanding through strategic acquisitions. Its biggest move so far is the $1.25 billion purchase of Hidden Road, a prime brokerage firm that handles around $3 trillion in annual transactions.

This deal is expected to strengthen Ripple’s new stablecoin, RLUSD, and help the company grow its role in global finance. It’s a major step toward building Ripple’s influence in the digital payments and blockchain infrastructure space.

Some XRP holders may have been hoping for an IPO boost, but Ripple’s approach shows confidence in its long-term direction. The focus is now on building technology, expanding reach, and leading innovation in cross-border payments and stablecoins.

For those tracking XRP price trends, crypto market news, or stablecoin developments, Ripple’s evolving strategy is worth keeping a close eye on.

FEDERAL RESERVE WITHDRAWS CRYPTO RULES FOR BANKS, ENDING 'CHOKE POINT' PRACTICES

The U.S. central bank will now treat crypto like any other banking service, instead of approaching the industry with particular caution.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation unexpectedly released a trove of documents on Wednesday detailing how the agency regulated banks’ approach to crypto.

Travis Hill, the FDICS’s acting chairman, said the agency is taking steps to enhance transparency as lawmakers move to investigate a plot dubbed “Operation Chokepoint 2.0.”

“The documents that we are releasing today show that requests from these banks were almost universally met with resistance,” he said in a press release. “These and other actions sent the message to banks that it would be extraordinarily difficult—if not impossible—to move forward.”

In December the FDIC published 24 letters detailing the agency’s push to delay or prevent American banks from engaging in crypto-related activities. But this 790-page batch of documents appears to contain correspondence covering banks’ ability to serve crypto firms as well.

In one letter, an FDIC appointee acknowledged that a bank’s board of directors had chosen to close all of an entity’s deposit accounts. While the entity wasn’t explicitly referred to as a crypto firm, the letter also sought additional information on the bank’s internal authorization “to engage with up to a maximum of three additional crypto companies.”

The letter also said that “banking organizations are neither prohibited nor discouraged from providing banking services to customers of any class or type,” but industry advocates have claimed the correspondence was further proof of the FDIC’s debanking plot.

The documents were unveiled shortly before Senate lawmakers began a scheduled hearing on “debanking.” So far, it’s been giving the public a first look at whether the FDIC unlawfully clamped down on the crypto industry.

Bitcoin and ‘reputation risk’

One snippet, highlighted by Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal, showed how a bank was deterred from offering an account to a stablecoin issuer looking to park reserves at the institution.

The bank was told that it “should not proceed with any crypto-asset activity” until the FDIC and another entity—the name is redacted in the document—found the practice was safe and sound.

In one case, Grewal said the FDIC did not raise concerns about “risks to the financial system.” But he did think it deterred a bank from offering a way for customers to purchase Bitcoin. In an excerpt, the FDIC stated that "reputation risk" or the prospect of Bitcoin’s price falling was at issue.

Though the conversation among lawmakers has focused intensely on the FDIC, which insures banking deposits and supervises financial institutions, the Federal Reserve recently weighed in.

A week ago, Fed Chair Powell stated that “banks are perfectly able to serve crypto customers, as long as they understand and can manage the risks.”

Some letters included in Wednesday’s document dump accused banks of false advertising, claiming that they did not include clear and prominent disclaimers that digital assets are not covered by FDIC insurance in advertisements.

On Wednesday, Hill signaled that more documents may be in the pipeline, as the agency moves to reverse practices under the previous administration.

“While this review remains underway, we are releasing a large batch of documents today,” he said. “Looking forward, we are actively reevaluating our supervisory approach to crypto-related activities.”

The 7 Worst Things You Can Do If You Owe the IRS

The 7 Worst Things You Can Do If You Owe the IRS

December 6, 2023   By  Jennifer Taylor  GoBankingRates

You’re in debt to Uncle Sam. This probably isn’t a great feeling, but you have to face it.

Maybe you have the money to pay your tax bill or perhaps you don’t. If not, you have many options, so don’t take any of the following.

Using a Credit Card To Pay Your Taxes

Charging IRS debt to your credit card might be easy in the short term, but doing so can be a costly choice.

“The IRS interest rate changes quarterly, but it’s hovered around 8% in recent years,” said Brad Paladini, tax attorney and owner of Paladini Law, a tax law firm. “Credit card interest is usually around 22%, meaning that if a taxpayer uses a credit card to pay their taxes, they are paying almost three times as much in interest than if they paid the IRS directly.”

Failing To Stay in Compliance With the IRS

“The IRS is usually very willing to arrange a resolution for past-due tax debt, whether it be an installment agreement, an offer in compromise or hardship status,” Paladini said. “But the IRS requires that the taxpayer remain ‘current’ with the taxes.”

Going forward, he said this means you’ll need to file all returns on time and pay all future taxes on time.

“If the taxpayer fails to do so, she’ll default whatever arrangement was made with the IRS,” he said.

Ignoring the Problem Until It’s Too Late

“Taxpayers will know there’s an outstanding tax debt, but will ‘bury their head in the sand’ and ignore it,” Paladini said. “Eventually, the IRS will wipe out their bank accounts or garnish their wages to recoup their money.”

If it comes to this, he said it will be much harder to try and resolve than if you had proactively reached out to the IRS to settle it.

Not Understanding Your Options

If you owe money to the IRS, Paladini said, you have six payment options, including an installment agreement, offer in compromise, currently non-collectible status, penalty abatement, innocent spouse relief and bankruptcy.

“Each of these options has separate requirements,” he said. “Trying to navigate that path on your own can be extremely difficult.”

If you need help navigating what’s best for your unique situation, he said you should reach out to a tax professional.

Failing To File

“When you owe and you do not file by the tax deadline, then you will be penalized for failing to file, unless you file an extension,” said Kathy Alfaro, owner and tax strategist at Alfa Tax Service. “If you fail to file by the extension deadline, then you will pay a failure to file penalty.”

She emphasized the importance of knowing the rules.

“When you owe and you do not pay by the tax deadline, then you will be penalized for failing to pay,” she said. “There is no extension for this penalty. This is why filing an extension with a payment will help.”

“Tidbits from TNT” Friday Morning 4-25-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Foreign Minister arrives in Washington

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein arrived in Washington, DC, on an official visit.

A statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA) stated that “Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs,

Fuad Hussein, arrived in the US capital, Washington, on an official visit during which he will hold a series of bilateral meetings with a number of senior officials in the US administration.”

The statement added that “this visit comes within the framework of strengthening bilateral relations between the Republic of Iraq and the United States of America, and discussing ways to develop joint cooperation in the political, security and economic fields, as well as discussing regional and international issues of common interest.”

The statement continued, “During his visit, the Minister is scheduled to meet with a number of officials in the US State Department, most notably Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State, in addition to holding meetings with prominent political and economic figures.”  link

Tishwash:   Al-Sudani: Our goal is to meet the needs of the Iraqi market and stop importing from abroad.

 Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani stated on Thursday that his government's goals include strengthening public-private sector partnerships, meeting the Iraqi market's need for local production, and halting imports.

This came in a speech he delivered during the inauguration of the executive works, via video conference, for six industrial projects in Muthanna Governorate, at a total financial cost of $1.171 billion.

In his televised address, he said that the private sector is the state's true partner in fulfilling various developmental and service obligations and needs for citizens, adding, "We have great confidence in businesspeople in this field and in the facilities provided by the government."

He added, "Our goal is to meet the needs of the local market and stop importing from abroad," stressing the need to meet the needs of the local market, whether for government projects, ministries, governorates, or others.

Al-Sudani continued, "Iraq is currently witnessing a clear push to implement service and construction projects, which requires more diverse materials to meet the needs of this market, regardless of imports." link

Tishwash:  What are the reasons for the decline in the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar?

On Thursday, April 24, 2025, Professor of International Economics Nawar Al-Saadi revealed the reasons for the decline in the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar in local markets.

 Local stock exchanges in the capital, Baghdad, witnessed a rise in the value of the dinar at closing this afternoon, with the selling price reaching 145,500 dinars per $100, and the buying price reaching 143,500 dinars per $100.

 The dollar exchange rate in Iraqi markets rose significantly in the fall of 2024, exceeding 1,550 dinars per dollar, or 155,000 dinars per $100, in some areas.

Trump's policies

Al-Saadi told Al-Jabal, "The current decline in the US dollar's exchange rate cannot be isolated from the global economic and political context, which is undergoing profound transformations. The United States has been facing negative economic indicators for some time, including slowing growth and declining retail sales data, which has reinforced market expectations that the Federal Reserve may move to cut interest rates in the coming period. This trend, by its nature, weakens the dollar's attractiveness as a savings and investment currency and increases pressure on it in foreign exchange markets."

He added, "Furthermore, the economic policies recently adopted by the US administration, most notably the imposition of tariffs on a number of goods, have contributed to raising import costs and increasing inflation rates, which has negatively impacted investor confidence in the performance of the US economy in the medium term."

He continued: "In addition to internal factors, there are also global shifts that are gradually beginning to impact the dollar's standing," noting that "the accelerating trend by some international powers, such as the BRICS countries, toward reducing reliance on the dollar in trade and financial transactions reflects the beginning of the erosion of the monopoly position the dollar has enjoyed for decades. These multipolar policies are beginning to have a clear impact on the balance of monetary power worldwide."

internal factors

Regarding the situation in Iraq, according to the expert, "The recent decline in the dollar exchange rate is due to a decline in local demand during Ramadan, when commercial activity and travel decrease, leading to a temporary decline in demand for hard currency. However, this decline is not sustainable, and the dollar is likely to rise again when demand returns to normal levels, especially with the approach of the summer import seasons, or if obstacles arise in the flow of foreign currency into the Iraqi market."

The professor of international economics concluded his remarks by saying, "The decline in the dollar exchange rate we are seeing reflects a state of economic anxiety and uncertainty rather than a long-term strategic shift."

Al-Saadi stated that "the dollar will not easily lose its global standing, but it is no longer the unrivaled currency, and the world is gradually moving toward new monetary balances that will have profound repercussions for developing economies, including Iraq."  link

Tishwash:  Soon... Indications of an Oil Discovery in Iraq

Positive indicators are increasing that strengthen the chances of announcing a new oil discovery in southern Iraq, amid active government moves to activate the latest licensing rounds and expand the scope of investment in exploration blocks, which will contribute to raising the country's production capacity in the short and medium term.

According to a statement reviewed by the Washington-based Energy Platform, the Joint Management Committee for the seventh exploration block held its first meeting on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, headed by the Director of the Wasit Oil Authority, Engineer Ahmed Mahdi Sabri, and attended by officials from the Chinese company CNOOC, to which the block was awarded as part of the fifth and sixth supplementary licensing rounds.

This meeting is seen as a first step towards a project that could lead to a confirmed oil discovery in one of the richest potential hydrocarbon reserves.

During the meeting, it was agreed to approve the work program and operating budget for 2025, in addition to affirming the joint commitment to implementing global best practices in exploration and development.

Oil discovery site

According to technical assessments conducted by the operating company, Block 7 shows strong initial indications of promising oil reserves.

The geographic scope of the block includes the governorates of Diwaniyah, Hillah, Muthanna, Wasit, and Najaf, giving the project a strategic dimension, particularly as CNOOC intends to adopt advanced technologies that will contribute to enhancing the chances of a highly economically viable oil discovery.

It's worth noting that this move comes as part of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil's efforts to revitalize recently signed licensing contracts, in line with the goals of the government's program and the state's vision to promote comprehensive development.

Oil exploration in Iraq

Iraq's oil exploration portfolio is witnessing a significant shift. On October 27, 2024, the Ministry of Oil signed the final contracts for the latest licensing rounds, in the presence of Oil Minister Hayan Abdul-Ghani. Abdul-Ghani announced that these agreements will contribute to the addition of 750,000 barrels per day of crude oil, in addition to the production of 850 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.

The minister affirmed that the ministry has ambitious plans to develop new exploration blocks, which constitute a pivotal part of Iraq's oil exploration strategy for the next phase.

The contracts cover vast areas, including the Al-Faw, Jabal Sanam, Sumer, Adan, and Abu Khaima fields, in addition to the Al-Khulaisiyah and Middle Euphrates fields, enhancing the geographical diversity of investment opportunities.

Through these tours, the ministry seeks to attract quality investments that will secure the fuel needed for power plants and manufacturing industries, and open up broad prospects for employing Iraqi personnel, making oil exploration in Iraq an extremely important development tool.

Production challenges and international commitments

In contrast, the Iraqi government is still required to reconcile its investment expansion with its international obligations under the OPEC+ alliance.

In April, Baghdad announced its commitment to reduce oil production by 120,000 barrels per day, with the reduction set to increase to 140,000 barrels in May and June to compensate for production overruns over the past year.

During the Sulaymaniyah Forum on April 16, 2025, the Oil Minister stated that Iraq is seeking to persuade OPEC to increase its production quota, at a time when the market is witnessing increasing pressure to control supplies.

Abdul Ghani indicated that his country intends to extend exclusive invitations to American companies, such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron, to strengthen their presence in oil exploration projects in Iraq. link

Judy Note: The announcement of the Global Currency Reset has not yet been made and we will not be able to set exchange appointments at Redemption Centers until we are officially notified. However, we appear to be very close.

Evidently early this morning of Thurs. 24 April 2025 around 2 am EST the Vietnamese Dong began to trade wildly on the market, and within hours, banks closed their sales of the Dong and Dinar. That tells us we are very close.

The below are videos that were made on the RV after that wild market trading began. Most talk of exchanging your currency at banks. Remember, we have been promised higher rates if we exchange at an official Redemption Center.

Global Currency Reset Underway:

Thurs. 24 April 2025 Bruce The Big Call: Likely Tier4b (us the internet group) will be sent notification to set exchange appointments over the weekend and start appointments on Monday 28 April because that’s when Redemption Center staff has been asked to come in and work. The Contract Rate on the Dinar was in the low 80s, but you must have a humanitarian project to qualify and the contract rate on the Dinar is only available at a Redemption Center.

Thurs. 24 April 2025 BOMBSHELL: TRUMP’S $150 TRILLION PLAN — THE TRUST FUND HIDDEN FOR 161 YEARS …Quantum Financial System on Telegram

While the world scrolls, Trump loads the system. Beneath the chaos of headlines and media theater, the real shift happens in silence. Financial intelligence insider Jim Rickards has revealed that Donald J. Trump is preparing to unlock the largest hidden trust fund in human history:

$150 trillion in untapped natural resources
— copper, lithium, rare earths, energy assets
— buried beneath U.S. soil for 161 years.

This isn’t digital wealth. This is tangible power. And after a pivotal Supreme Court decision, the final legal barrier standing in Trump’s way has been removed. While the media spins distractions, Trump prepares to ignite the age of economic resurrection.

THE $150 TRILLION TRUST — AMERICA’S BURIED INHERITANCE For over a century and a half, America’s hidden treasure has remained locked away. Copper, lithium, uranium, rare earth minerals, gold, oil — valued at over $150 trillion, enough to:

– Erase the national debt
– End foreign energy dependence
– Rebuild infrastructure
– Restore monetary sovereignty

So why has it been suppressed? For decades, federal agencies guarded this wealth behind the Chevron Doctrine — a legal firewall that empowered unelected bureaucrats to dictate access and control over these resources, all while the global elite siphoned value through foreign deals and debt.

THE CHEVRON DOCTRINE FALLS — THE LOCK IS BROKEN Since 1984, the Chevron Doctrine has been the ultimate cage, giving federal agencies unchecked power. But now? The Supreme Court has just overturned it. The legal lock is gone. Trump, or any executive leader, now holds the key to challenge federal overreach and unlock America’s buried inheritance. This isn’t just a legal shift. It’s the trigger for the greatest energy and resource transition in human history.

TRUMP’S RESET — SOVEREIGNTY THROUGH RESOURCES Trump’s promise to “drain the swamp” wasn’t just political. It was economic warfare. With the Chevron Doctrine overturned and $150 trillion in resources at stake, Trump is positioned to:

– Rebuild America from within
– Crush foreign dependency
– Redirect the monetary system to tangible value
– Launch an economic reset grounded in sovereignty.

Trump’s return isn’t just about leading a nation — it’s about flipping the global economic system on its head. And the elites know it.

QUIET MOVEMENTS INTO XRP, GOLD & ENERGY While the public is kept in the dark, the elite are already repositioning:

– XRP — primed as global liquidity for what’s coming
– Gold, silver, uranium — tangible assets for the new standard
– Rare earths and domestic energy — the core of the $150T trust

Elite family offices, BlackRock, and institutional investors are already moving. Legislation is being rewritten. Assets are migrating into tokenized systems, ready for the shift. This isn’t crypto hype. This is the silent reconfiguration of global economic power.

WHY YOU HAVEN’T HEARD ABOUT THIS? Why is this silent? Why the media blackout? Because this isn’t meant for the masses yet. It’s strategic. While they distract with cultural battles and political theater, the foundation for Trump’s return and the activation of this trust is quietly being built.

THIS IS NESARA/GESARA — THE RESET BEHIND THE RESET For years, NESARA and GESARA have been mocked as fantasy. But their blueprint — debt erasure, sovereignty, global economic renewal — is exactly what this $150 trillion trust embodies. This is the architecture of NESARA/GESARA taking form:

– National debt erasure
– Resource-backed value replacing fiat fraud
– Legal barriers collapsing
– Digital infrastructure rising
– Trump returning not just as a politician, but as executor of this plan

World Bank is saying Iraq is now economically stable.  FRANK:  IMO the World Bank is trying to tell the world Iraq has a new exchange rate or they wouldn't make such a bold and stupid statement like that.  The WTO doesn't require a new exchange rate but it does require your currency not to have any restrictions on it, therefor allowing it to go up in value when they are ready...

Militia Man   Article quote:  "The World Gold Council announced Iraq would rank 28th globally and 4th in the Arab world in gold purchases and reserves in 2025.  This confirms the central bank is proceeding steadily to achieve the objectives of monetary policy and reducing inflation, controlling the general price level, controlling the money supply, maintaining the dinar exchange rate within the target rate for the public and continuously monitoring and analyzing the interest rate set by the central bank..."  Iraq is clearly doing the things right...Whether she's at 1310 today or a new fresh real effective exchange rate, she has the tools used now that will do the same in the future...

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

US SEC DELAYS DECISIONS ON POLKADOT AND HEDERA ETFS AS AGENCY WEIGHS DOZENS OF CRYPTO PROPOSALS

The SEC is extending its deadline to June 11, according to filings published on Thursday.

It will also delay a decision on the Bitwise Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF until June 10.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is pushing back its deadline for a few proposals to list and trade crypto funds based on Polkadot and Hedera's tokens. The agency is weighing dozens of filings to launch crypto exchange-traded funds.

The SEC is delaying its decision until June 11 to approve or disapprove a proposal from Grayscale to convert its Polkadot Trust as well as one from Canary to list an HBAR ETF, according to filings posted on Thursday. It originally had until the end of this week to make a judgement. The agency is also delaying a decision on the Bitwise Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF until June 10.

"The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised therein," the agency said in the HBAR filing.

Filings for the Grayscale Polkadot Trust and the Canary HBAR ETF were made in February as firms look to launch a variety of crypto ETFs in what is expected, and is so far, a crypto-friendlier SEC.

Since President Donald Trump took office in January, the SEC has shown an openness to the crypto industry through public crypto roundtables while also dropping several lawsuits against crypto firms. The next roundtable is on Friday and is focused on crypto custody.

Under former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, the agency approved the listing of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 and spot Ethereum ETFs later in July, following a decisive court ruling brought on by Grayscale.

BRICS: EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT IN FINAL TALKS TO REMOVE CHINA SANCTIONS

The European Parliament is in the “final stages” of discussions with Beijing about removing sanctions on China, according to a Parliament spokesperson. “Discussions with the Chinese authorities are continuing and in their final stages,” the spokesperson said Thursday. The Chinese government put retaliatory sanctions on some MEPs in 2021, after the EU sanctioned some Chinese officials and entities over alleged human rights abuses in Xinjiang.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola “will first inform group leaders once there is official confirmation from the Chinese authorities that sanctions have been lifted. It has always been the EP’s intention to have sanctions lifted and resume relations with China”, the spokesperson added.

Further sanctions, amounting to a visa ban and asset freezes in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, were applied to a group of EU ambassadors who sat on the powerful European Council’s Political Security Committee, as well as the Mercator Institute for China Studies think tank and several other researchers. It is unclear if those sanctions are also set to be lifted, as representatives have yet to comment on further sanctions being cleared.

More Good News For China

The news is another positive for China, which earlier today also found out that their tariffs from the US may be lowered to 50%. 

The Trump administration currently examines different methods for reducing the American trade barrier on Chinese imports, which he imposed in his second term, through possible reductions of 50% to 65%. Ears of political representatives are exploring a plan that duplicates previous House Committee on China recommendations.

China, meanwhile, has embarked on a charm offensive of its own, trying to rally European governments to fight Trump’s duties together. On Tuesday, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke by phone with the foreign ministers of Austria and Britain, in an effort to convince them to oppose US moves.

“The US uses tariffs as a weapon to launch indiscriminate attacks on various countries … as a responsible country, China has stood up to stop it, not only to safeguard its own legit rights and interests, but also to safeguard international rules and the multilateral trading system,” Wang said.

So… Is It Over? And The Surprising Player That Is Holding The Cards

So… Is It Over? And The Surprising Player That Is Holding The Cards

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  April 23, 2025

Franklin Roosevelt pressed the red emergency button to stop the elevator on the way down to his private dining room. The King of Saudi Arabia was waiting for him, but the President wanted to smoke a couple of cigarettes first.

 It was 11:30 in the morning on Valentine’s Day, 1945. World War II was nearing its end, and Roosevelt had just come from the famous Yalta Conference with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin to discuss what post-war Europe would look like.

 But on the way back home, Roosevelt went out of his way to meet with the Saudis. Legendary amounts of oil had been discovered in the Arabian desert a few years before and knew that such vast energy reserves would be strategically important to the United States after the war.

 The problem was that Roosevelt was on death’s door at that point. His doctors had urged him not to go, but the President overruled them, sensing that the trip would solidify American interests.

 He was right-- it was a critically important trip. But the doctors were right too-- it was obvious the trip had taken its toll, and a senior aide described FDR as “helpless in fatigue”.

 The quick smoke break on his way to the lunch meeting was Roosevelt’s quick moment to relax, gather his wits, and put his game face on before taking on King Abdulaziz.

 Apparently, the cigarettes did the trick, because Roosevelt was able to summon enough strength to build great rapport with the King.

 As US Marine Colonel William Eddy (who was present at the meeting) later described, “the King and the President got along famously together” and became fast friends.

 Roosevelt and Abdulaziz discovered they were the same age, both deeply interested in agriculture, and even shared similar physical handicaps.

 In fact, Roosevelt gave one of his own wheelchairs to the King as a goodwill gesture, which Abdulaziz later recalled was “my most precious possession [from] my great and good friend President Roosevelt.”

 President Roosevelt with King Ibn Saud aboard USS Quincy, 14 February 1945. Naval History & Heritage Command, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons.
Roosevelt died less than two months later. But he had planted the seeds of a relationship with Saudi Arabia that soon became very important… and eventually critical to the United States.

 In the 1940s and 1950s, the US economy grew leaps and bounds and had an insatiable appetite for energy; Saudi oil played a key role in fueling that growth, and both nations prospered from the relationship.

 Their amity was put to the test in the 1970s when the US dollar was taken off the gold standard. World leaders revolted, and the dollar’s standing as the global reserve currency could have ended very quickly.

 But Saudi Arabia stuck with the dollar. And in 1974, the two countries inked a new economic cooperation deal: the US would provide security and technology, and the Saudis agreed to maintain their currency peg to the dollar… which ultimately meant that oil would still be sold exclusively in US dollars.

 If the Saudis had gone the other way and abandoned the dollar, America could have lost its global financial dominance by the end of the 1970s.

 Instead, Saudi Arabia’s commitment encouraged (and realistically forced) the rest of the world to continue to hold US dollars, even if just for the sole purpose of buying oil from OPEC.

 As a result, the US dollar has remained the global reserve currency through this day-- which is the ONLY reason why America can have a $36+ trillion national debt or run multi-trillion-dollar deficits each year… and yet the world keeps buying US government bonds.

 Saudi Arabia could now be poised for another big decision that will have a major impact on America’s future dominance.

 But first-- as of today, it appears that the Trump administration may be climbing down from hard-nosed positions they had adopted as recently as Monday.

 Suddenly now the President doesn’t want to fire Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Suddenly the gazillion percent tariffs on China are “too high”. Suddenly Elon thinks that he is spending too much time at DOGE.

 Granted, all of this could change by the time I finish writing this article. Such are the times in which we live.  However, it seems that the administration is feeling the pressure from the bond market rout, the stock market rout, the currency market rout.

 It’s all very Truss-ian, i.e. reminiscent of 2022 when then-British PM Liz Truss had to resign after domestic financial markets crashed and investors vomited all over her economic plan.

 Obviously, the guys in the US aren’t going to resign. But it appears that they’re capitulating to investors’ demands: “Go back to the way things were in March… keep hitting the woke universities, keep policing the border, keep doing all the other stuff. Just leave trade alone.”

 So, is the economic war already over? Who knows. But even if they really are backing down, it remains to be seen if the rest of the world will simply forget about the past month and move on.

 How much trust and confidence will other nations continue to have in the dollar, and in the United States? Already, over the past several years, there has been serious effort from the Usual Suspects (i.e. Russia, China, Iran, etc.) to de-dollarize.

 Some of their efforts have been laughable. Others have made great progress.

And Saudi Arabia may once again be the key swing vote.

 Saudi’s Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), knows his kingdom’s oil will eventually run out, and he’s desperately seeking to build a real economy to replace it.

 On one hand, Saudi Arabia has a longstanding relationship with the US-- though one that has clearly soured over the years. On the other hand, he has the Chinese offering all sorts of cash and prizes.

 China knows that the petrodollar, i.e. selling oil in US dollars, is a key driver for global US dollar demand… which props up the US government and supports America’s gargantuan national debt.

 Chipping away at that dollar demand will really hurt the United States. China wants this to happen. And they’ve been pushing Saudi Arabia to start selling oil in Chinese yuan, i.e. petroyuan.

 Bottom line, MBS is going to have to make a decision about whether partnership with China or the US is better for his kingdom over the next several decades.

 If he sticks with the US and rejects Chinese overtures, it will go a long way in keeping other countries in line, eliminating doubts about America, and maintaining the dollar as the reserve currency-- for now.

 On the other hand, if he decides that China is the better option and starts selling oil in yuan, it could be crippling for the US economy.

 Foreigners holding trillions of US dollar assets would no longer need to maintain such vast dollar reserves. The dollar would plummet as a result, US government bond yields would skyrocket, and inflation would surge.

 Saudi Arabia is holding a lot of cards right now regarding the fate of the dollar… which is a key reason why Donald Trump himself is heading there in a few weeks.

 Make no mistake-- this is a monumental story in the making.

Gold Is Being Remonetized – Why $10K Gold & $50 Silver Are Now in Sight | Florian Grummes

Gold Is Being Remonetized – Why $10K Gold & $50 Silver Are Now in Sight | Florian Grummes

Kitco News:  4-24-2025

Gold is pulling back from record highs above $3,500/oz — but is this just a pause before the next surge?

Silver is up over 3% in a single day, and some analysts say it's finally “waking up.” Azerbaijan’s State Oil Fund just added nearly 19 tonnes of gold in Q1, signaling fresh sovereign accumulation.

 Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says there's “an opportunity for a big deal” with China on trade. Could this reshape global capital flows — and set the stage for silver to explode?

Florian Grummes, Managing Director of Midas Touch Consulting, joins Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron to break down silver’s technical breakout, China’s strategic push to internationalize the yuan with gold, and what’s next for precious metals.

 They also explore the gold/silver ratio, mining stocks like Silver Tiger Metals and First Mining Gold, and whether silver can really hit $50 this spring.

Ariel: 34 Countries Meeting with Trump

4-23-2025

34 countries meeting with Donald Trump.

A New Deal
Fair Trade
Currency Parity
Equal Value

~ Monetary Revaluation

The trade summit between Donald Trump and 34 nations is profoundly significant for humanity, as it holds the potential to liberate global populations from the Deepstate’s oppressive grip, fostering a new era of economic and political sovereignty.

 By challenging the entrenched systems of currency manipulation, unfair trade practices, and centralized control, these negotiations could empower nations to prioritize their citizens’ welfare over elite interests, reducing economic exploitation and fostering self-sufficiency.

The potential exposure of covert intelligence operations, secret society networks, and manipulative agendas in energy, technology, climate, and pharmaceuticals could awaken humanity to the hidden forces shaping their lives, sparking demands for transparency and accountability.

This shift threatens to dismantle the unipolar order, replacing it with a multipolar world where nations and individuals reclaim agency, free from the Deepstate’s financial, technological, and narrative stranglehold.

Ultimately, this could pave the way for a fairer, more equitable global system, where humanity’s potential is no longer shackled by orchestrated dependency and deception.

Henig  IMO Vietnam wants trade with the US immensely, and is willing to be quite flexible to maintain that relationship. Remember that the number one thing that Trump seeks is fairness in the market--and top of the list of enabling factors is a fair exchange rate, with no exchange rate manipulation.

Militia Man  Article:  "What are the real reasons behind the delay in sending budget tables?"  So, the cat is finally out of the bag. They are now saying what we could see...Article 12 of the 2023-2024 Budget is being withheld publicly. It is clearly exchange rate related! What they are saying is now in print that the street knows what we know and this is supporting our view...

Frank26   Article:   "Baghdad prepares to receive a Kurdistan delegation...a decisive round to turn the page on disputes"  The only dispute is that we don't have a new exchange rate.  IMO that's what this conversation is going to be about.  It's not about the oil.  It's not about flowing the oil.  The oil is not about the HCL. It's not about Article 140.  It's about a new exchange rate IMO.

Bessent Slams IMF - But Real Warning Was About the Dollar

Taylor Kenny:  4-24-2025

U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent publicly challenged the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, accusing them of "mission creep" and calling for a rebalancing of the international financial system.

While the headlines may focus on global policy debates, the deeper message is clear: the dollar system, as we know it, is breaking

As Taylor Kenney explains, the system that holds your savings, retirement, and financial future is undergoing a fundamental transformation—and it's time to prepare.

Gold Hit $3,500 — Then Something Strange Happened

Goldcore TV:  4-24-2025

Gold’s recent surge to $3,500 wasn’t just a price event — it was a warning shot.

A sudden, sharp revaluation not just of gold, but of everything investors thought they understood about the system.

While the media called it a rally, #centralbanks were quietly doing something else: doubling down. Not on yield. Not on growth. But on sovereignty. On protection. On something real, in a financial system increasingly built on hope and hashtags.

 This GoldCoreTV episode breaks down what really happened at $3,500 — and why it wasn’t the end of the bull market, but the beginning of something deeper.

 We explore: Why gold’s spike wasn’t about inflation — but about institutional panic

How central banks are quietly rebelling, buying over 1,000 tonnes a year

Why #silver’s silence is actually a signal, not a failure

What the gold-silver ratio is telling us about timing and opportunity

 Why “buying the dip” isn’t a strategy for central banks — and shouldn’t be for you

This isn’t about timing a trade. It’s about understanding the message behind the move.

Because when trust evaporates, gold doesn’t rise in a frenzy — it rises in silence.

Government Activity And The Establishment Of Development Through The Pioneering Sector

Economy News – Baghdad  Dr. Haitham Hamid Mutlaq Al-Mansour  The recent economic climate has witnessed a clear evolution in the crystallization of the state's developmental role, in the movement of correction towards construction and reconstruction, especially in important structural aspects in the services sector and the employment sector, and focused steps to adjust the development path with the aim of revitalizing what was frozen in the previous government and completing stalled projects.

Perhaps the important question at this stage is about which development directions the current government should take in order to advance the correction and development process to its sustainable goal? And in which sector should it begin?

There are many development approaches addressed by theories of economic development that are feasible, but they may clash with the Iraqi economic reality, which suffers from a structural imbalance in production and demand. Therefore, the macroeconomic policy maker must start with what is possible and work to correct the sources of that possibility. In other words, development in the Iraqi economic reality must proceed from the following two axes:

First: Dealing scientifically with the economic reality and its distortions by entering into a thorny network of economic relationships that can lead to correcting the structural imbalance. These relationships are described as long-term and require a long period of time that includes the recovery of all agricultural, industrial, commercial, monetary, financial, and other sectors.

They assume a high degree of sector integration and high flexibility of the marginal substitution rate between the factors of production in its various sectors, in light of a complete reduction of the total cost functions. This requires significant financial, material, and human capabilities to diversify the structure of the economy and correct what has been distorted by decades of incorrect development policies and neglect, as this goal requires a long time to achieve or begin its path.

Second: Dealing realistically with the problematic data of the economic structure through planning for comprehensive development in the leading sector, namely the oil sector, starting from it to correct the distortion in the oil industry, through vertical concentration in the activities of the oil industry, including extractive, refining, and petrochemicals. This sector is the leading sector in enabling the development process through its forward and backward connections with other sectors and activities of the national economy.

The second approach is distinguished by its utmost importance in taking a strategic step to deepen the impact of the leading sector, as it enjoys material and financial returns that fall within the short-term limits, which often express the effectiveness of the overall policy in the macroeconomics.

The proposed approach of effective management of oil rents aims to achieve the correct combination of industrial interconnections between the rentier sector and other sectors to eliminate the displacement effect of rentier activity on other economic sectors, and to enhance the economic role of these sectors by linking them to the aforementioned sector, given its impact in directing government spending towards investment in infrastructure, social, health, and education systems necessary for the development process.

The experiences of rentier states similar to the Iraqi economy indicate that they have adopted a development approach in which annual budget items must be organically linked to the financial allocations of the general budget over the short, medium, and long terms. This is in addition to establishing a sovereign fund to invest oil surpluses sustainably in productive projects that generate material and social returns.

Now that the state has regained its ability to manage its resources and entered into many strategic projects with multiple economic links, it is possible to establish a governmental development axis capable of benefiting from the sustainable financial management mechanisms of the leading sector through a development approach that can be followed to achieve real results: It is represented by launching development from the leading sector that has the absolute advantage in contributing to the gross domestic product,

as it is likely that development will extend through this sector vertically and horizontally to and from the rest of its parts, and with the various sectors contributing to the chain of exchange of outputs and inputs, and focusing development activity on many sectors with organic horizontal interconnections that are likely to be of great importance to the development process in order to direct financing and investment activity towards its optimal function.

Therefore, I see the possibility of the government taking this development direction by planning for the oil sector and developing it vertically through planning for related internal activities such as the transformational industries in many economic sectors such as the construction and building sector and the electricity services sector, which are related to domestic consumer demand and would reduce the volume of imports.

On the one hand, on the other hand, the government must draw up a development plan to attract activities from weak sectors to achieve consistency in sectoral growth to raise their contribution to the GDP.

To enhance the proposed approach, a protective trade policy must be adopted that works to develop domestic demand for many industries branching off from the leading sector with organic links, and raise the levels of the GDP.   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=54790
