Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

B️REAKING: XRP ETF APPROVED, BUT IT’S NOT SPOT ETF

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the first-ever XRP futures ETF, launched by ProShares. This ETF is expected to go live on April 30th, 2025. While it’s not a spot ETF — which tracks the actual price of XRP — it’s still a huge step forward for XRP’s recognition on Wall Street.

The ETF approval comes just a few years after Ripple, the company behind XRP, was locked in a long legal battle with the SEC. Now, XRP is moving from courtrooms to trading floors, joining the ranks of Bitcoin and Ethereum, which already have both futures and spot ETFs.

Some investors were unsure at first, asking, “Why futures and not spot?” But futures ETFs are often the first step. This was the path for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and experts believe a spot XRP ETF could be next. Futures trading allows big institutional investors to take positions on XRP, whether the market goes up or down — a common and healthy part of mature financial markets.

Experts called the approval a game-changer, pointing out that this move gives major players a way to legally and securely trade XRP.  And the good news doesn’t stop there. In Brazil, the XRP H11 ETF has just launched on the country’s main stock exchange, making it the first XRP-focused ETF in the world. This global momentum suggests XRP is no longer being left behind.

Just a few years ago, XRP was under heavy legal scrutiny. Now, it’s being listed on international exchanges, with regulated investment products opening the door for more adoption.

From being targeted by regulators to becoming a favorite of institutional investors — XRP is clearly turning the page.

FROM SWIFT TO SHANGHAI: BRICS JUST SEIZED GLOBAL SETTLEMENT POWER WITH DIGITAL GOLD | ANDY SCHECTMAN

 Andy outlines that BRICS just flipped the global financial system on its head. China’s digital RMB settlement system is now fully connected to 38% of global trade, allowing transactions to bypass SWIFT and the U.S. dollar entirely. Even more shocking—this new payment network is being expanded to non-member countries, quietly replacing the old financial order with a gold-linked system.

He continued, "We aspire to expand this partnership in the future, in a way that meets national ambitions and meets the growing need for energy in Iraq." link

Tishwash:  Baghdad dollar declines due to exhibitions, real estate, or nuclear negotiations? 

Iraqi markets have recently witnessed a significant decline in the dollar exchange rate, reaching 1,440 dinars, after a period of highs and fluctuations amid Middle East tensions and US restrictions on Iraqi trade with sanctioned countries.

 The decline is contrary to expectations experienced by trading circles at the end of last year, which slightly disrupted the local economy. However, other experts who spoke to 964 Network attributed the almost sudden drop to a recession that has been looming for months in the Iraqi real estate and car markets, the largest domestic market for US currency trading.

This may mean a decline in large-scale money laundering operations led by influential parties, as discussed in political and economic circles. This is in addition to the decisions of US President Donald Trump, who imposed large customs tariffs on China, which led to higher commodity prices in the United States, increased inflation, and harmed the dollar's position globally.

Experts also noted that the return of Washington and Tehran to negotiations has contributed to reducing demand for the dollar in Iraq, as the exchange rate fluctuation is primarily due to informal trade between Iraq and Iran. However, successful negotiations and the easing of the pressure on the Iranian banking system will ease the pressure on the Iraqi dollar.

Experts do not rule out another factor: the Central Bank's recent restrictions on Visa and MasterCard cards, which have contributed to limiting the withdrawal of dollars at the official exchange rate and their subsequent sale on the black market.

Mustafa Akram Hantoush, financial expert:

The dollar exchange rate should not exceed 1,320, even on the parallel market. The central bank sells dollars daily at this rate, exceeding $250 million. However, there are discrepancies. Any requests outside the central bank's platform are not covered, most notably trade with Iran, small traders, and the smuggling of some goods through Kurdistan. This trade is not officially covered, and therefore traders buy them from the parallel market.

Iranian situation negotiations

There are now negotiations in Iran. If they succeed and the noose is lifted on its banking system, this will ease the pressure on the Iraqi dollar, thus lowering the parallel exchange rate.

The solution lies in creating a genuine platform for financial transactions with Iran. Small traders must be covered by specialized companies that handle their needs, while smuggling must be stopped and the sanctioned countries that travelers visit must be addressed.

Khaled Haidar - Academic:

The Iraqi economy is linked to the global economy and its revenues depend on oil, which is priced in US dollars.

Trump and the American market

The US economy is currently experiencing a decline in retail sales, particularly after tariffs on countries, particularly China. This has had a significant impact on the US economy, with imported goods prices rising, inflation rates doubling, confidence in the US economy weakening, and interest rates declining. This, in turn, has impacted growth prospects.

Today's global economy is gradually beginning to rely on other currencies, such as the BRICS blocs, creating new influential poles on the global map.

Today, there is a degree of confidence in the Central Bank's performance regarding the dollar, particularly since it has restricted electronic transactions using cards used by travelers to obtain dollars at a low rate, then withdraw them abroad at the parallel market rate, profiting from the difference upon their return to Iraq and reselling them. This measure has greatly reduced fraud and dollar withdrawals.

There's also a trend today toward trading in gold, and its prices continue to rise, as it has become a safe haven and a better alternative to the dollar. Many are choosing to keep their capital in the form of gold bullion, which has affected confidence in the dollar and impacted its value.

Nabil Jabbar Al-Tamimi, economic expert, to 964 Network :

There are no political reasons for this decline, and it is within the normal range of fluctuations, given that the dollar previously reached 1,400 and then rose to over 1,500. Furthermore, there is no major event currently affecting the price, and the central bank's measures remain unchanged.

Iraqi real estate and car market stagnant!

Iraq is currently experiencing a recession in the car and real estate markets. This is primarily due to the fact that car dealers deal exclusively in dollars, not dinars. Furthermore, companies importing electric cars have emerged, and these companies are enjoying great popularity among Iraqis, in addition to accepting dinars.

Neglecting the dollar-denominated side of the market, whether in the auto or real estate markets, has led to a decline in demand for the dollar. This decline is relative, not exceeding 2.5% or 3%.

The tariffs imposed by Trump have not affected Iraq, and there is no connection between them. Regarding the negotiations between Iran and the US, in the event of tensions, demand for the dollar is expected to increase, and the rise in the price in Tehran is expected to be reflected in the Iraqi dollar, given the presence of unofficial transfers, which we have not witnessed. Furthermore, the existence of measures related to MasterCard cards and withdrawal transactions is expected to raise the price, because restricting cards stifles the markets, thus raising trading prices on the black market, but the opposite has happened.

The decline is due to internal factors. About six months ago, a clear recession began in the dollar-denominated auto and real estate markets. This recession reduced demand for the currency.

Ammar Hamad, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, stated to the official newspaper, as monitored by 964 Network:

The improvement in the Iraqi dinar's exchange rate against the dollar in local markets is due to the Central Bank's recent policy and the country's substantial financial reserves.

The decline will continue in the coming periods.  link

Clare:  The Minister of Finance participates in the annual spring meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund.

4/26/2025   Baghdad /

 Minister of Finance Taif Sami Mohammed, Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq Ali Al-Alaq, and the accompanying delegation participated in the annual spring meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund, held from April 20 to 23, 2025 in Washington, to discuss global economic challenges, economic development, financial stability and other related issues, in addition to plenary sessions, seminars and side consultations.

A statement by the Ministry of Finance said: "The Minister began her participation in the first meeting with the Executive Director of the World Bank, Abdulaziz Al-Mulla, and discussed the economic situation in Iraq and the role of the World Bank in supporting Iraq in its reform programs, especially in the issues of maximizing revenues, reducing expenditures, digitization, electronic systems, infrastructure projects, energy and the environment." She

also met with Hella Sheikh Rouho, Regional Vice President of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and her accompanying delegation, and discussed with her the most important obstacles to investment in Iraq and ways to address them, as well as the most important projects supervised by this institution in Iraq in the transportation, energy and international trade financing sectors. She explained that the institution can support projects of the Iraq Development Fund. The Deputy Chairman of the Foundation also emphasized the support of the private sector and its projects, as well as the agricultural and industrial sectors in Iraq.

The delegation, headed by her, held a high-level meeting with the World Bank Vice President for the Middle East, Othman Dawani. The meeting discussed the portfolio of projects funded by the World Bank, particularly the railway project in Iraq. It was agreed to review this portfolio to follow up on project implementation, identify work obstacles, and find solutions for their implementation and completion within the specified timeframe. The meeting also discussed the government's priorities for future projects, which the World Bank can support, with regard to renewable energy, waste management, and transportation projects, especially the metro, airports, and railways. The meeting also discussed the issue of human development in Iraq, which is a government priority, to be included in the World Bank's plans to allocate support and launch future projects in the education, health, employment, and social protection sectors.

The statement added: "The Minister, along with the Governor of the Central Bank, attended the ministerial meeting chaired by the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Gurevichi, and attended by the Ministers of Finance and Governors of the IMF member countries.

The discussions focused on the global economic situation, the increasing uncertainty and its economic impacts at the local and global levels, addressing challenges and measures to enhance resilience, identifying strategies to maintain the macroeconomy and manage debt sustainability, in addition to focusing on exchanging visions and experiences regarding economic reforms, enhancing the performance of government institutions, supporting and strengthening the private sector, and opening the way for them to be at the forefront of sustaining the economic resilience of the countries of the region.

The Iraqi delegation's agenda also included participation in the meeting held with the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Dr. Mohamed Maait, during which the spotlight was placed on specific reforms to improve the performance of the financial sector in Iraq, and sharing updates between the two sides through activating areas of partnership with the Fund.

During the meetings, Finance Minister Taif Sami held a coordination meeting with the Head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Mission to Iraq, Jean-Jacques Killaume. The meeting addressed the prospects for Iraqi economic growth through the government's reform program aimed at strengthening the oil and non-oil sectors, and how to maintain economic stability in Iraq in light of the global economic conditions.

She also met with the Director of Technical and Financial Affairs and her technical team at the IMF, responsible for providing technical support and expertise to the Ministry of Finance. The meeting discussed steps to provide technical support to the General Tax Authority and the General Customs Authority regarding the electronic automation of their systems and reviewing amendments to their laws.

Sami expressed her readiness to provide technical support and training on these systems for customs and tax employees. The meeting also discussed completing the requirements for the single treasury account and reviewing the procedures implemented by the Ministry of Finance in relation to this program.

In a related context, the delegation held a meeting with Jihad Azour, Director of the IMF's Middle East and Asia Department, where they discussed a range of economic issues and the most prominent financial policy forecasts.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

FEDERAL TAXES TO BE 'SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED' ONCE TARIFFS SET IN: TRUMP

The US President previously floated the idea of eliminating the federal income tax altogether and replacing it with import duty revenues.

United States President Donald Trump recently said that federal income taxes would be "substantially reduced" or potentially eliminated once the tariff regime fully sets in.

In an April 27 Truth Social post, Trump added that the focus of the purported tax cuts would be on individuals making less than $200,000 per year.

The US President also said that the "External Revenue Service" — a reference to funding the federal government exclusively through import tariffs instead of the current model of collecting taxes through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) — is materializing.

Eliminating the federal income tax would likely be a positive catalyst for asset prices, including cryptocurrencies, as the increase in disposable income should partially flow back into productive investments. However, this stimulative effect is not guaranteed.

Trump’s plan leaves analysts and markets doubting

Trump previously floated the idea of eliminating the federal income tax in an October 2024 appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, although Trump, who was on the campaign trail at the time, provided scant concrete details on the proposal.

The US President suggested that replacing the federal income tax with revenue from import duties would return the US to a time of prosperity seen during the Gilded Age, in the 19th century, when the US did not have a permanent federal income tax.

Research conducted by accounting automation company Dancing Numbers found that Trump's proposal could save the average American $134,809 in lifetime tax payments.

Dancing Numbers added that the tax savings could be as much as $325,561 per American if other wage-based income taxes are also eliminated.

On April 2, Trump signed an executive order imposing sweeping tariffs on all US trading partners, which included a 10% baseline tariff on all countries and different "reciprocal" tariff rates on countries with import duties on US goods.

However, since that time, the Trump administration walked back its tariff policies several times, flip-flopping on tariff rates and when the tariff regime would fully take effect.

The Trump administration's ever-changing rhetoric surrounding trade policies has heightened volatility in the US stock market, caused a rise in US bond yields, and has drawn widespread criticism from financial analysts who say the protectionist trade policies hurt capital markets while achieving little else.

BRICS: US SANCTIONS FAIL AS RUSSIA’S ECONOMY GROWS 4.1%

The US pressed sanctions on Russia in February 2022 after they invaded and waged war on their neighboring country Ukraine. The sanctions were aimed at stalling Russia’s growth and bringing its overall economy and GDP down. Russia teamed up with the BRICS alliance and the bloc kick-started the de-dollarization agenda to counter the US sanctions.

The BRICS bloc rewrote trade deals allowing Russia to send and accept local currencies for trade and cross-border transactions. China, India, and Saudi Arabia made use of the US sanctions and procured Russian oil and discounted prices. Saudi Arabia even brought Russian crude oil for a concession and laundered it all over Europe earning bigger profits.

BRICS member India even saved $7 billion in foreign exchange by buying Russia’s crude oil at cheaper prices due to the sanctions. Therefore, the BRICS bloc mostly benefitted from the US sanctions saving and earning billions in development. They even pushed local currencies ahead for trade strengthening their businesses and overall GDP.

BRICS: Russia’s Economy Grows 4.1% Despite US Sanctions

Trade restrictions could not stop BRICS member Russia’s growth as it immediately kick-started the de-dollarization agenda. The move helped the country navigate through troubled times and simultaneously gained the support of developing countries. “Over the past two years, the Russian economy grew by 4.1%,” said Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu.

The latest data shows that BRICS member Russia’s economy comfortably sat above 4% despite the US sanctions.

2023: 4.1%
2024: 4.3%
2025 (Projection): 2.5%

Shoigu explained that BRICS member Russia’s banking system demonstrated remarkable resilience during the US sanctions. “Russia’s external and internal debt has diminished. Its financial and banking systems demonstrated resilience,” he said. 

The diplomat added, “The external trade also retained its positive dynamics. Despite sanctions, the past year’s trade grew by $3.8 billion, to over $716 billion. Proficit of the balance of foreign trade gained $7 billion, reaching approximately $146 billion.”

I Grew Up Rich: 6 Money Lessons I Learned After I Lost It All

I Grew Up Rich: 6 Money Lessons I Learned After I Lost It All

G. Brian Davis  Sat, June 29, 2024

An oft-cited statistic states that 70% of wealthy families lose their riches by the second generation, and 90% lose them by the third.

Why? Because the first generation earns it, the second generation spends it and the third finds itself back at square one.

It turns out that earning money and shepherding money long term require two different skill sets. All too often, no one in any of those three generations learns how to protect and grow wealth long term.

“I grew up in a wealthy family where my grandfather was the chairman of the largest textile processing mill in our city,” explained Muhammad Ali, sales director at George Digital. “Our business, established in the 1950s, was a significant player in the industry from 1970 to 2001 … However, our fortunes drastically changed, and by 2012, my father’s income dwindled to just $300 a month.

“In 2013, amidst our financial crisis, I developed an interest in programming. Unfortunately, we couldn’t afford a laptop, and we had to live with my grandparents, along with my father’s brothers and their families. This challenging period taught me several invaluable lessons about money and resilience.

“Eventually, I was the first person among my grandfather’s children and grandchildren to get a chance to study in the U.S.

“Here are some key money lessons I learned after losing it all.”

Diversify Your Income Streams

“Our family focused solely on the textile business, and when it failed, we had no backup.

“In 2015, I came across Russell Brunson’s book ‘DotCom Secrets,’ which sparked my interest in an online business. By September 2016, Adam C. Miller introduced me to the world of digital marketing. Despite the lack of resources and guidance, I persevered, slowly learning about digital PR … I also delved into local SEO (search engine optimization) and e-commerce business models.

“After our family’s textile business shut down, there was no one to restart the hosiery textile business. However, years later, I decided to reignite this passion to continue my family legacy and started Molani Enterprises, a textile sourcing and trading company. Alongside my ventures in PR and e-commerce, reviving the textile business was a way to honor my family’s history and rebuild our presence in the industry.”

Maintain a Financial Cushion

Everyone needs an emergency fund. Whether you keep two months’ or two years’ worth of living expenses in it depends on how stable your income and expenses are, but you need that cash cushion to carry you through the inevitable nasty surprises that life throws at you.

“Always keep cash savings to cover basic living expenses and emergencies. This reserve should not be touched for business investments. This lesson was crucial for me, as I witnessed bad financial decisions during our business downfall, where more money was sunk into a failing enterprise.”

Seize Opportunities

They say that when an opportunity knocks at your door, it does so dressed up like work.

Compiled Sun. 27 April 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

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.

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.

~~~~~~~~~~

Walkingstick  We know [via Iraqi bank friend Aki] IMO that the lower notes are sitting pretty at  the CBI to be distributed to the banks that have been selected, that are trusted and licensed, the ATMs in and out, all the  exchange centers and...Iraqi citizens purchasing power.   

Militia Man  They [Iraq] are talking about buying gold.  Gold is a hedge for the central bank.  They're  advocating that gold, even at close to $3,500 in the last few days, is going to go higher.  They're suggesting it's going to go to  $4,000 this year.

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Sunday Morning 4-27-25

An Economist Reveals Three Hidden Reasons Behind The Market Recession.

Time: 2025/04/26 16:57:17 Read: 2,040 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} Economic expert Salah Nouri revealed today, Saturday, three reasons behind the current stagnation in Iraqi markets.

Nouri told Al Furat News, "The first reason is the rise in the prices of basic imported goods globally, which has had a direct impact on their prices in local markets when calculated in Iraqi dinars, making them beyond the reach of a wide segment of citizens."

He added, "The second reason relates to the fluctuations in the local dollar exchange rate, which has weakened the dinar's purchasing power and made low-income earners among the most affected groups due to their inability to keep up with rising prices."

Nouri pointed out that "the third reason is the decline in demand for basic commodities due to the decline in citizens' purchasing power, which has led to a general state of stagnation in markets, especially in areas with low incomes."  LINK

Central Bank: Visa And Mastercard Card Issue Abroad To Be Resolved Next Month

Central Bank Governor Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq  Banks  Economy News – Baghdad  Central Bank Governor Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq announced on Saturday that the issue of Visa and MasterCard cards abroad will be resolved within the next month.

Al-Alaq said in press statements, followed by "Al-Eqtisad News," that "the Central Bank has completed the two tasks related to cash sales and foreign transfers, but the card crisis witnessed a state of "misunderstanding."

He explained, "When we headed to organize this process, it required a set of procedures that must be worked on, so that we put it in its correct direction and according to acceptable standards, and therefore there were some stops and some changes in the paths."

Al-Alaq said, "An agreement was reached with all concerned parties - which include "Visa" and "MasterCard" in coordination with the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the auditing company - on "the formulas and paths for settling these cards," stressing that "the Central Bank has taken rapid steps in this regard, expecting to complete this task within the next month, i.e. before the scheduled date for this process, which is June 1."

Al-Alaq revealed that "work has begun on developing a plan to issue cards to small merchants, after completing consultations with companies," "to accommodate the requests of merchants—a large segment of Iraqis—to cover their foreign trade without passing through long routes, so that transfers can be made directly, which will create a major shift in accommodating merchants who do not use formal transfer methods."

Al-Alaq indicated that "the Central Bank, in agreement and consultation with the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, has completed the organization of cash sales of dollars, and is now 'in an ideal position, by their own testimony.'" He described foreign commercial transfers as "progressing very smoothly, as we have expanded the network of correspondent banks abroad in the US and elsewhere.

An agreement has also been reached to open another bank in the US to establish relationships with Iraqi banks in transfer operations."  https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=54852

Prime Minister's Advisor: Government Bonds Are A Better Investment Option Than Gold

Buratha News Agency1862025-04-25    The Prime Minister's advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Friday that sovereign government bonds are available for investment through banking institutions, calling for diversifying investment portfolios by investing in government bonds instead of gold, as "local gold is one of the wealth havens most affected by external or international factors and their shocks, as it is a commodity imported from gold vaults outside the country,

as the global price of gold exceeded the $3,200 per ounce barrier in April 2025, affected by geopolitical tensions, especially between the United States and China, or the so-called trade war issue represented by the escalation of the mutual tariff war between various countries of the world and its direct and indirect effects on inflation trends and expectations in the global economy."

He added, "This coincided with indicators of the oil asset cycle, the downward trend in global oil prices, and the increasing demand for the yellow metal by central banks and investors seeking a safe haven for wealth around the world, as gold is undoubtedly the best store of value."

 He noted that "the price of gold, which has witnessed a significant and continuous rise, despite its fluctuations towards the decline, has maintained its high price. For example, the price of one ounce on April 17, 2025, reached approximately $3,321.89, after previously reaching a new record high of $3,357.40 per ounce."

Saleh explained that "the opening of the local gold market to the global market and the impact of the global price of gold on our country's supply has become an immediate reflexive issue. Until the local gold market stabilizes again, it may take a real period of time to adapt again."

He pointed out that "the short-term jumps in gold prices cast a shadow over the tendencies of individuals in our country and the behavior of some to hedge by investing in the yellow metal."

He continued: "Demand for gold in Iraq is a traditional means of preserving value, which leads to its purchase as a normal hedge, especially for those with cash surpluses, with the aim of profiting from the external price factors affecting the fluctuations in the international economy, and the impact of this on the level of global prices, and the repercussions of this on thinking about re-diversifying the wealth portfolios of some of them, or according to their beliefs and traditions in investing, preserving the value of their personal financial wealth, or speculating."

Saleh pointed out that "if the goal of importing is a safe investment, it is preferable to monitor global and local markets to make informed decisions, and to proceed with the proper diversification of their investment portfolios and not rely entirely on a single investment vehicle to preserve value, since gold is also subject to decline.

It is also preferable to consider other national investment options to diversify their investment portfolios, especially investing in interest-bearing sovereign government bonds currently offered to investors through the Iraqi banking system."  https://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/459247

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BREAKING NEWS: FIRST XRP ETF GOES LIVE IN BRAZIL, NOT U.S

▪️Brazil becomes the first country to launch an XRP ETF, beating the United States.

▪️The XRPH11 ETF will give investors safe, easy, and regulated access to XRP investments.

▪️Experts predict XRP-related products could attract up to $8 billion in future, with XRP price to hit $24 soon.

XRP has just reached a major milestone with the launch of its first-ever ETF in Brazil. This exciting move could bring more investors into XRP and open the door for bigger developments in the United States.

With experts predicting that billions of dollars could soon flow into XRP products. However, this could pump the XRP price by 1000%.

First XRP ETF Goes Live in Brazil

In a big win for the XRP community, Brazil’s B3 stock exchange has launched the world’s first XRP ETF. The fund, called XRPH11, is managed by Hashdex and Genial Investimentos.

It will track the Nasdaq XRP Reference Price Index, making it easier for investors to gain safe and regulated exposure to XRP.

According to Hashdex, the ETF will invest at least 95% of its assets directly in XRP or in other products like futures contracts that copy XRP’s price movements. This setup allows both regular and big investors to invest in XRP without needing to own or store the cryptocurrency themselves.

Brazil Moves Ahead, US Still Waiting

Interestingly, this major step happened in Brazil, not in the United States, where Ripple is based. In the US, companies like Grayscale and Franklin Templeton have already filed for XRP ETFs, but they are still waiting for approval from the SEC.

Meanwhile, the demand for XRP-related investment products is growing fast. As of April 18, XRP-focused ETPs had about $950 million in assets under management, according to CoinShares. Just last week, XRP funds saw $37.7 million in new money, leading all other crypto funds.

Even bigger things could be on the horizon. JPMorgan predicted earlier this year that XRP products could pull in up to $8 billion — almost eight times more than today.

XRP Price Outlook

Even after this big news, XRP’s price hasn’t moved much. It is still trading around $2.20, with only a small 0.8% rise in the last 24 hours. But many believe that if an XRP ETF gets approved in the US, the price could shoot up.

Although XRP has been moving slowly for some time, signs are starting to look more exciting. In the past, when gold slowed down after a strong rally, XRP went up by 1,000%.

Now, with gold pulling back again, some experts think XRP could rise sharply and even reach $24 this year.

US CRYPTO RULES LIKE 'FLOOR IS LAVA' GAME WITHOUT LIGHTS — HESTER PEIRCE

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said that to engage in crypto activities, “SEC-registrants have had to hop from one poorly illuminated regulatory space to the next.”

SEC Commissioner and head of the crypto task force, Hester Peirce, says US financial firms are navigating crypto in a way that’s similar to playing the children’s game “the floor is lava,” but in the dark.

“It is time that we find a way to end this game. We need to turn on the lights and build some walkways over the lava pit,” Peirce said at the SEC “Know Your Custodian” roundtable event on April 25.

The lava is crypto, says Peirce

Peirce explained that SEC registrants are forced to approach crypto-related activities like “the floor is lava,” where the aim is to jump from one piece of furniture to the next without touching the ground, except here, touching crypto directly is the lava.

“A D.C. version of this game is our regulatory approach to crypto assets, and crypto asset custody in particular,” she said.

Peirce said that, much like in the game, firms wanting to engage with crypto must avoid directly holding it due to unclear regulatory rules. “To engage in crypto-related activities, SEC-registrants have had to hop from one poorly illuminated regulatory space to the next, all while ensuring that they never touch any crypto asset,” Peirce said.

Peirce said that investment advisers are often unsure which crypto assets qualify as securities, what entities count as qualified custodians, and whether “exercising staking or voting rights” could trigger custody violations.

“The twist in the regulatory version is that it is largely played in the dark: burning legal lava and no lamps to illuminate the way.”

Peirce also said that a broker or ATS that cannot custody or manage crypto assets will struggle to facilitate trading, making it unlikely for a “robust market” to develop.

Echoing a similar sentiment, SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda said at the event that as more SEC registrants work with crypto assets, it’s essential that they have access to custodial options that meet legal and regulatory requirements.

Uyeda said the agency should consider letting advisers use “state-chartered limited-purpose trust companies” with the authority to hold crypto assets as qualified custodians.

Meanwhile, the recently sworn-in chair of the SEC, Paul Atkins, said that he expected “huge benefits” from blockchain technology through efficiency, risk mitigation, transparency, and cutting costs.

He reiterated that among his goals at the SEC would be to facilitate “clear regulatory rules of the road” for digital assets, hinting that the agency under former chair Gary Gensler had contributed to market and regulatory uncertainty.

“I look forward to engaging with market participants and working with colleagues in President Trump’s administration and Congress to establish a rational fit-for-purpose framework for crypto assets,” said Atkins.

Tishwash:  Fitch Ratings: Iraqi banks will not be harmed by the decline in oil prices.

Fitch Ratings confirmed on Saturday that the Iraqi banking sector is not affected by the decline in oil prices due to its lower credit rating.

The agency said in a report seen by Shafaq News Agency that "the indirect effects resulting from the decline in oil prices and weak global growth may lead to a decline in government spending, severely impacting banking operating conditions in most Gulf and Middle Eastern countries."

She added, "The banking sector in Iraq has low credit ratings, with most banks classified as CCC. These ratings are unlikely to be affected by the negative impact of lower oil prices, especially given the central bank's strong ability to support government spending."

The agency noted that "credit conditions in Gulf banks could also deteriorate if profitability and cash flows decline for companies operating in affected sectors. However, they are well-positioned to absorb any deterioration in the operating environment, thanks to the strengthening of their financial reserves in recent years."

Fitch Ratings is one of the largest global rating agencies. Founded in 1914 and headquartered in New York and London, its mission is to assess the creditworthiness of countries and companies and provide reports that help investors determine the risks of loans and investments.

Fitch is one of the world's top three rating agencies, along with Standard & Poor's and Moody' link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani succeeded in transforming trade relations with Türkiye into investment opportunities.. His advisor

"A transition that is happening for the first time"

The Prime Minister's Advisor for Investment Affairs, Mohammed al-Najjar, affirmed on Saturday that Iraq has become an attractive environment for Turkish investments, noting that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has succeeded in transforming trade relations with Türkiye into investment opportunities.

Iraq is the first country in which Turkey will invest,” Al-Najjar said in a statement to the official agency, followed by 964 Network. “It is well known that Turkey is the one looking for investment opportunities and requesting investments, but we have succeeded, through government measures, in attracting investment environments in Iraq.” He pointed out that “the opportunities created by the Prime Minister have made Iraq an attractive country for Turkish companies, which constitutes an important platform for a large number of countries to enter and invest in the opportunities available in Iraq.”

He added that "the entry of Turkish investments into Iraq represents a turning point in relations between the two countries. This is the first time that relations have shifted from a commercial aspect to an investment aspect." He pointed out that "there are multiple areas for Turkey to invest in Iraq, including infrastructure, roads, energy, and communications, all of which represent significant opportunities for Turkish companies that have begun to invest, not just in contracting or commercial operations."

Al-Najjar explained that "Iraq has worked to transform its relationship with Türkiye into an investment relationship, including a path to development, which will constitute a fundamental pillar for Turkey as a starting point for investment."  link
