A New Gold Standard, Evidence and Path to $10,000 Gold Intensifies

A New Gold Standard, Evidence and Path to $10,000 Gold Intensifies

Mike Maloney:  4-29-2025

The global economic landscape is constantly shifting, but recent murmurings suggest a seismic change could be on the horizon: a return to a gold-backed monetary system.

 In a provocative new discussion, economist and precious metals expert Mike Maloney presents compelling evidence suggesting this shift is not only possible, but increasingly likely.

This potential reordering of the global financial system could have profound implications for everyone, making it crucial to understand the driving forces behind it.

Maloney’s analysis points to several key indicators, starting with potentially unexpected sources. He highlights documented instances of Donald Trump advocating for gold-centric economic strategies, suggesting a possible long-term vision for a gold-backed dollar.

 While this idea might seem radical to some, Maloney argues it aligns with a growing sentiment among certain economic circles.

Beyond political rhetoric, Maloney delves into what he perceives as crucial “behind-the-scenes” maneuvers. He suggests the U.S. Treasury, along with global elites, are quietly preparing for a significant change to the monetary system. While concrete proof remains elusive, the implications of such preparations are significant.

One of the strongest arguments for a potential return to gold lies in the surging global flows of the precious metal. Nations are increasingly stockpiling gold reserves, a trend that historically signifies a move away from reliance on fiat currencies.

 This accumulation can be seen as a hedge against economic uncertainty and a preparation for a world where gold plays a more central role in monetary stability.

Further fueling the speculation is the activity surrounding COMEX, the world’s largest commodity futures exchange. Maloney argues that preparations within COMEX point to an awareness of a potential financial crisis and a need to manage a surge in demand for physical gold.

This heightened activity, coupled with historical precedent, paints a picture of a system bracing for a significant disruption.

History provides valuable lessons in understanding these trends. Throughout history, periods of economic instability have often led to a renewed interest in gold as a store of value.

As fiat currencies fluctuate and lose purchasing power, the tangible nature and inherent value of gold become increasingly attractive.

 Maloney uses historical examples to illustrate the potential pitfalls of relying solely on fiat currencies and the stabilizing role gold can play in a turbulent economy.

So, what does all this mean for the average individual? Maloney suggests that a return to a gold-backed monetary system could trigger a massive wealth transfer.

Those who are prepared and positioned to understand the transition could potentially benefit significantly, while those who are unprepared risk being left behind.

Ultimately, the question remains: will we witness a return to a gold-backed monetary system?

While definitive answers are impossible to provide, the evidence presented by Maloney and others suggests that the possibility is far from negligible. Understanding these trends, analyzing the data, and taking proactive steps to protect your financial future could be crucial in navigating the potential economic shifts ahead.

 It’s time to consider: will you be positioned for what could be the greatest wealth transfer of our lifetime?

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BRICS:  INDIA SEEKS TO BE A MAJOR REPLACEMENT SUPPLIER TO THE US IN TRADE

India hopes to establish a new deal with the US on trade quickly, as the country seeks to become a major replacement supplier in areas vacated by China in trade. 

New Delhi says its prepared to include a sweetener in trade talks with the US that would “future-proof” a deal by ensuring no other trade partners could have superior terms. “This clause, in a sense, future-proofs the U.S. deal and is the only way to do so,” one of the officials said.

Indian government officials are pushing for the deal to be accepted by the Trump Administration as soon as possible. Despite the tensions between the nation and the BRICS alliance, the US and India have been in revised trade talks for months.

The potential US-India trade deal represents a significant step forward in bilateral economic relations between the two nations. Secretary Bessent’s statements this week and India’s latest proposal suggest that negotiators have already made substantial progress in these ongoing discussions.

Right now, the US actively pursues trade agreements with several Asian nations as well. The Treasury Secretary provided some additional insight into these diplomatic efforts during his recent CNBC interview on Monday. Bessent stated: “The U.S. had also held very substantial negotiations with Japan, and discussions with other Asian trading partners were going well.”

India has already made several offers and pre-emptive concessions to the U.S. on trade, showing itself more eager than several other big U.S. trading partners. Unlike China, Canada, and the European Union, India has been very supportive of the Trump administration and has established a solid partnership. Furthermore, the country also wants to avoid the proposed 26% tariff on itself from the US.

EU SECURITIES WATCHDOG ESMA ISSUES GUIDELINES TO COMBAT MARKET ABUSE IN CRYPTO ASSETS UNDER MICA

On April 29, 2025, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published guidelines to enhance supervisory practices for preventing and detecting market abuse in crypto assets under the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA).

Tailored for National Competent Authorities (NCAs), the guidelines draw on ESMA’s experience with the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and address the unique aspects of crypto trading, such as its cross-border nature and heavy reliance on social media.

 They emphasize risk-based, proportionate supervision and aim to foster a unified supervisory culture through industry dialogue and NCA collaboration.

The guidelines will be translated into all EU languages, take effect three months after publication, and require NCAs to confirm compliance within two months, though ESMA encourages immediate adoption of the principles.

Tishwash:  Due to the drop in oil prices, the Iraqi government is considering canceling the 2025 budget.

An Iraqi cabinet source said on Wednesday that the government is considering canceling the 2025 budget due to the drop in oil prices, which has increased the country's fiscal deficit .

The source told Shafaq News Agency, "The Council of Ministers did not formally discuss the budget schedules in its previous sessions, and Finance Minister Taif Sami informed the Council of Ministers that there is a large deficit in the budget schedules ."

He added, "Under current conditions, there will be no budget this year due to the decline in oil prices, which has directly impacted financial revenues and increased the deficit in the 2025 budget ."

The source explained that "if the budget is cancelled, Finance Minister Taif Sami may issue a decision to release bonuses and promotions for state employees that were halted and delayed due to the budget."

On April 16, the Parliamentary Finance Committee warned against adjusting the price of a barrel of oil in the Iraqi federal general budget due to the decline in global oil prices .

Committee member Jamal Kocher told Shafaq News Agency, "The price of a barrel of oil was set in the general budget law at $70 per barrel. At the time, the price of a barrel of oil was more than $70. It is not yet known whether the government has adjusted the price of a barrel of oil in the budget or not ."

Kocher pointed out that "the Iraqi state's operating budget is only 90 trillion dinars, and if the price of a barrel of oil falls below $60 and this is not addressed, this will lead the country to enter a financial crisis, and the government will spend the financial revenue from oil on employee salaries only   link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

HISTORIC: AI WILL BEGIN DEVELOPING LAWS IN THE UAE

The government of the UAE has launched what it calls the first AI-based legislative system, allowing synthetic agents to develop laws and monitor their effects through big data analysis.

UAE Enables AI Interaction in Lawmaking With New Smart Legislative System

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to penetrate all aspects of human life, and governance is next. On April 14, the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) approved the implementation of what the media is calling the first AI-powered legislative system, paving the way for the proposal of law projects with significant synthetic participation.

The system will link all judicial rulings to their established jurisdictions, creating a map that connects these rulings with AI elements. As a participant in this system, the AI will be able to monitor these developments and study the effects of regulations in each jurisdiction with the help of this map.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the UAE and a member of the cabinet that approved this development, expects AI to significantly improve the legislative process in the UAE.

In this regard, he stated:

"The new AI-based legislation system will create a qualitative shift in the legislative cycle, its speed, and its accuracy, ensuring our national legislative excellence and keeping our laws in line with best practices and the highest aspirations."

Al Maktoum also highlighted that the system will be able to propose legislative amendments on an ongoing basis, supported by the analysis of their effects using big data and statistics. Official reports stated that the expectation is for this tool to enhance the efficiency of the legislative process and accelerate the legislative issuance cycle by up to 70%.

This new approach to legislation will also create new roles for AI agents, such as legislative researchers, legislative editors, and legislative monitors.

However, neither the technical details of the implementation nor the models to be used for this system were specified by UAE authorities.

US Senate Majority Leader John Thune reportedly told Republican lawmakers that the chamber would address a bill on stablecoin regulation before the May 26 Memorial Day holiday.

According to an April 29 Politico report, Thune made the comments in a closed-door meeting with Republican senators, who hold a slim majority in the chamber. 

The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins, or GENIUS Act, was introduced by Senator Bill Hagerty in February and passed the Senate Banking Committee in March.

Thune did not mention any crypto or blockchain-related bills in his public comments on US President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office. Since his Jan. 20 inauguration, Trump has signed several executive orders with the potential to affect US crypto policy, including one affecting stablecoins. Still, many of the actions do not carry the force of law without an act of Congress.

The proposed GENIUS bill could essentially restrict any entity other than a “permitted payment stablecoin issuer” from issuing a payment stablecoin in the United States. 

The House of Representatives, also controlled by Republicans, has proposed a companion bill to the legislation: the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy, or STABLE Act.

Trump accused of conflicts of interest over stablecoins, crypto ventures

The president’s executive order, signed on Jan. 23, established a working group to study the potential creation and maintenance of a national crypto stockpile and a regulatory framework for stablecoins. Republican lawmakers followed by introducing the STABLE and GENIUS acts.

Trump also introduced the order before World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm backed by the president’s family, launched its US-dollar pegged USD1 stablecoin.

 Many Democratic lawmakers said that Trump’s ties to the firm, coupled with his political influence and position, could present an “extraordinary conflict of interest that could create unprecedented risks to our financial system” as Congress considers the two stablecoin bills.

Gold Is Replacing The US Dollar | Michael Pento

Liberty and Finance:  4-28-2025

Michael Pento argues that the stock market remains overvalued despite clear signs of economic distress.

He warns that inflation and supply shortages pose serious threats, while the real estate market is weakening under the pressure of rising mortgage rates and growing inventory.

Pento emphasizes that both retail and institutional investors often react emotionally and irrationally, especially during downturns.

Notably, he states that gold is beginning to supplant the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency, reflecting a loss of confidence in American monetary policy.

 Given the Federal Reserve’s limited ability to stabilize the economy, Pento advocates for proactive and strategic investing in a market that may not follow historical recovery patterns.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

VISA, STRIPE, AND MASTERCARD DRIVE STABLECOIN GROWTH IN 2025

▪️Stablecoins are transitioning from a crypto niche to a significant force in global finance.

▪️Major financial firms like Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe are actively integrating stablecoin technology.

▪️Stablecoin transaction volumes now surpass Visa's, indicating rapid mainstream adoption.

Stripe Embrace Stablecoins

There’s no denying the shift – traditional finance is embracing stablecoins. Visa has launched its Tokenized Asset Platform to help manage stablecoins and tokenized deposits. Stripe, meanwhile, is testing stablecoin payments to make it easier for businesses outside the US and EU to access US dollars.

Mastercard has introduced features that allow consumers to spend in stablecoins and merchants to receive payments in these digital currencies worldwide.

Stablecoin Market Overview

The stablecoin market is booming, with a total market cap of $243.1 billion, according to Coingecko. Tether (USDT), USDC, and USDS lead the charge, with market caps of $148 billion, $62 billion, and $7.6 billion, respectively. In terms of transaction volume, Tether dominates with over $51 billion, followed by USDC with $11 billion.

Stablecoin Transaction Volume Surpasses Visa

In an impressive shift, stablecoins now process more transactions on a weekly basis than Visa. This signals their growing influence in the global financial system and suggests they’re quickly becoming a mainstream financial tool that challenges traditional payment networks.

The Future of Stablecoins: What’s Next?

Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya predicts that the stablecoin sector will see significant growth throughout 2025, with US dollar-backed stablecoins emerging as the biggest winners. He believes these stablecoins will become a core component of the global financial system, further solidifying their position in the market.

CIRCLE SECURES USDC REGULATORY NOD IN ABU DHABI, ENTERS TECH ECOSYSTEM

Circle's FSRA approval in Abu Dhabi sets stage for significant USDC expansion across the Middle East and Africa.

Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has secured initial approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) in Abu Dhabi.

The approval, announced on April 29, allows Circle to move closer to receiving a full Financial Services Permission (FSP) to operate within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).

This progress comes just months after Circle’s incorporation in ADGM in December 2024. It marks a significant step in the stablecoin issuer’s plan to offer compliant financial services across the Middle East and Africa (MEA).

Circle stated that the approval strengthens its position as a trusted player in the expanding world of regulated digital finance.

The firm continued that the move would allow it to expand the reach of USDC, the second-largest US dollar-pegged stablecoin by market capitalization, throughout the Middle East.

According to the firm, this would significantly boost USDC’s adoption in a region increasingly turning toward digital assets and adequately compete against Tether’s USDT, the largest stablecoin by market cap.

Circle’s CEO, Jeremy Allaire, said:

“[This creates] new pathways for investment and innovation in the region. It also underscores Circle’s enduring commitment to global stablecoin oversight—strengthening trust, compliance, and adoption worldwide, while laying a resilient foundation for the internet financial system.”

Collaboration with Hub71 to boost innovation

Beyond its regulatory success, Circle has partnered with Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s leading global tech ecosystem.

This partnership is focused on promoting digital asset innovation and strengthening the region’s fintech infrastructure.

Circle will work with Hub71 to tap into ADGM’s digital regulatory sandbox, a framework designed to test and support new financial technologies. The collaboration will give fintech founders access to grants, funding networks, and opportunities to scale their businesses.

Additionally, Circle will become part of Hub71’s Digital Assets Specialist ecosystem. This growing community includes more than 500 tech startups and venture capital partners.

Ahmad Ali Alwan, CEO of Hub71, said:

“Circle’s expertise will enrich our digital assets ecosystem, providing Hub71 founders with greater access to resources, mentorship, and growth opportunities. Through this partnership, we are enabling the adoption of leading digital financial infrastructure that supports startup growth and drives the evolution of Web3 and digital finance from Abu Dhabi.”
