Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

THUNE SIGNALS GOP WILLING TO COMPROMISE ON STABLECOIN BILL AS SENATE VOTE NEARS

Senate Republicans back off fast-track push as Thune opens door to Democratic demands ahead of GENIUS Act floor vote.

▪️ Senate Majority Leader John Thune signaled openness to Democratic amendments on the GENIUS Act ahead of a key floor vote.

▪️ The move comes after nine Senate Democrats issued a joint statement opposing the bill without stronger safeguards.

▪️ Republicans need at least seven Democratic votes to advance the legislation, which would create a federal framework for stablecoins.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has acknowledged that Republicans would need to seek a more open stance with Democrats if the party hopes to advance the U.S.’s first comprehensive federal regulatory framework for dollar-pegged digital assets.

With a full floor vote looming on the GENIUS Act before Congress' August recess, pressure for a compromise is mounting as partisan tensions surrounding the landmark legislation threaten to boil over.

"Changes can be made on the floor for sure," Thune said, speaking to reporters from Congress on Monday, as first quoted by Politico. Thune said he’s "waiting to see what it is [Democrats] are asking for."

Thune's gesture shows the GOP is dialing back and slowing down from Sunday, when he initiated expedited procedures to advance the bill.

Republican leaders had hoped to hold a vote as early as Thursday this week.

But those plans hit a roadblock after nine Senate Democrats, including four previously open to the bill in committee, released an opposing statement a day before it was expedited.

The Democrats cited the need to add "stronger provisions" on key issues, including anti-money laundering, foreign issuers, national security, financial safety, and accountability.

Despite holding 53 Senate seats, the Republican caucus needs to secure at least seven Democratic votes to overcome the last hurdles for passage.

What's at stake?

The GENIUS Act allows nonbank stablecoin issuers to operate in the U.S. economy, providing key protections for consumers using the technology for daily needs.

A stablecoin is a digital currency designed to maintain a consistent value by pegging it to a fixed asset like the U.S. dollar. Stablecoins, unlike Bitcoin, offer predictability for daily transactions by backing their value with cash or other stable assets.

With it, banks and non-bank institutions could issue stablecoins if they hold 1:1 reserves in high-quality liquid assets. House lawmakers, meanwhile, have proposed more restrictive reserve requirements in their competing STABLE Act.

If signed into law, the bill would address a regulatory gap that has persisted for years as stablecoins grew to over $240 billion in market capitalization, data from CoinGecko shows.

BITWISE CIO WARNS OF CHALLENGING SUMMER FOR CRYPTO IF CONGRESS 'FUMBLES THE BALL' ON LEGISLATION

▪️Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan has warned of a mounting risk for crypto in Washington D.C., leading to a challenging summer for the industry if legislative efforts are derailed.

▪️However, Hougan remains optimistic that most crypto assets can trade to new all-time highs this year if Congress can get stablecoin and market structure bills passed.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan said he is increasingly concerned that the U.S. Congress will "fumble the ball at the one-yard line" on crypto regulation, warning that the industry is in for a difficult summer if legislative efforts fizzle out.

Hougan remains optimistic about the outlook for crypto this year, with a base case for most digital assets to reach all-time highs and bitcoin to rise above $200,000. However, despite the seemingly positive backdrop under the Trump administration, "crypto can still be derailed by politicians", he said.

Crypto rallied after the U.S. presidential election in November, partly on the assumption that Washington would take a more positive stance toward crypto. 

The first 100 days of Trump's tenure have seen the creation of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, digital assets named a "national priority," the SEC reversing crypto-related lawsuits and accounting rules and the end of Operation Choke Point 2.0. However, these initiatives have all stemmed from the White House, meaning they could easily be reversed by future administrations, Hougan warned in a note to clients late Monday.

"To move crypto forward, we need Congress to pass legislation enshrining crypto's progress in law," he said. "Congress passing at least one crypto bill would show that Democrats and Republicans can align on crypto and make it more difficult for future regimes to undo progress."

The stablecoin bill debacle

Hougan had expected stablecoin legislation to rapidly pass this year, broadening crypto's access to the traditional market, creating a new profit center for Wall Street and providing a huge buyer of U.S. debt as a tool to extend dollar dominance globally. A "win, win, win," he said.

In mid-March, this seemed to be on track as the Senate Banking Committee voted 18 to 6 to pass a stablecoin bill, called the GENIUS Act, out of committee, Hougan noted. In that vote, five Democrats on the committee broke ranks to support the bill, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also backing it.

The bill would require stablecoins to have 100% reserve backing with U.S. dollars and short-term treasuries (or other similarly liquid assets), monthly public disclosure of reserves and annual audits for issuers with more than $50 billion in market capitalization. The bill also lays out strict marketing standards, guidelines on insolvency proceedings and other provisions.

However, over the weekend, nine Democrats, including four of the five who backed the bill in committee and Schumer himself, pulled their support, just days before the bill was set to hit the floor of the Senate. The Democrats argued that the bill needs stronger provisions on national security and anti-money laundering policy.

The bill requires 60 votes to pass in the Senate; with Republicans controlling only 53 seats, a bipartisan deal is a must. "We have a choice here," Republican Senator Bill Hagerty, one of the authors of the bill, wrote in response. 

"Move forward and make any remaining changes needed in a bipartisan way, or show that digital asset and crypto legislation remains a solely Republican issue."

"The change in tune reflects the shifting political environment in Washington," Hougan said. 

"The amended version of the bill is actually stronger on AML/KYC and other items than the version that passed out of the Banking Committee, suggesting the Democratic about-face has more to do with President Trump's slumping approval rating and rising chatter over his crypto-related conflicts of interest than any substantive concern."

Hougan also argued that lobbying efforts from the crypto industry to combine stablecoin legislation with broader market structure legislation are not helping. "This is the perfect becoming the enemy of the good," he said. "Market structure legislation is extremely important to crypto's long-term future, but lumping things together will make the passage of any bill more difficult."

What's next?

Beyond the GENIUS Act uncertainty, House Democrats are reportedly planning to walk out of a joint congressional hearing on crypto market structure legislation scheduled for Tuesday as pressure mounts over concerns about President Donald Trump's forays into digital assets.

Another stablecoin bill, known as the STABLE Act, has been advancing in the House. World Liberty Financial, a DeFi project backed by Trump, also recently launched its own stablecoin.

While the future of the GENIUS Act has been thrown into question in its current form, and political jockeying threatens to undermine progress on other crypto-related legislation, Hougan still expects the stablecoin bill to ultimately pass.

"Stablecoins are too obviously beneficial — to America, the dollar, merchants, entrepreneurs, and others — for petty political jockeying to derail progress," he said. 

"The next few days and weeks will be fraught. If legislation fizzles, this could be a challenging summer for crypto. But if Washington can get its act together, I think the bull market will be unstoppable."

Tishwash:  The National Bank of Iraq: A leadership based on governance and transparency

The National Bank of Iraq affirmed on Tuesday its commitment to the principles of governance and transparency as a fundamental rule governing its financial transactions, adhering to strict standards. It identified what it described as the "most valuable currency" in this vital sector, while pledging to consistently comply with legal and regulatory requirements and international standards. 

In a statement received by Al-Eqtisad News, the bank stated, "The National Bank of Iraq's commitment to the principles of governance and transparency is one of its most prominent factors in the Iraqi banking sector. These principles form the fundamental foundation upon which the bank builds its strong relationships with clients, partners, and various stakeholders, and have contributed to enhancing its credibility in all its financial transactions."

He expressed his belief that "trust is the most valuable currency in this vital sector, and this commitment is an integrated approach to work that is embodied in the finest details of its operations and services, and bears fruit in the form of quality and distinction, thereby strengthening its leading position in the market." 

 He explained that "this commitment is clearly demonstrated by the bank's ongoing efforts to ensure that financial operations are managed in accordance with international best practices, setting strict standards to ensure transparency and accountability in all its transactions." He explained that "clear examples of this approach include the bank's ISO 9001:2015 certification in the areas of customer care services and bank transfer operations, confirming that the bank implements an integrated quality management system, with a focus on providing an exceptional banking experience for its customers, based on efficiency, reliability, and attention to the smallest details." 

 He explained that "the bank's commitment to quality and continuous improvement did not come out of nowhere, but rather is the result of a strategic vision that places the customer at the heart of its concerns. Implementing ISO 9001:2015 standards has had a positive impact on the smoothness of internal operations, contributed to raising efficiency and effectiveness, reducing errors, and lowering operating costs.

Mot:  Two priests decided to take a vacation in Hawaii

Two priests decided to take a vacation in Hawaii. Wanting to really relax, they agreed — no collars, no black suits, nothing that would give away they were clergy.

As soon as their plane landed, they hit a local shop and bought the wildest tourist outfits you could imagine — flashy shirts, loud shorts, sandals, sunglasses — the whole package.

The next morning, they hit the beach, dressed head to toe like total tourists. Sitting back in their chairs, sipping drinks, soaking in the sun — life was perfect.

That’s when a stunning blonde in a tiny bikini strolled right past them, smiled sweetly, and said,

“Good morning, Father. Good morning, Father.”

She nodded at each of them and walked away like it was the most normal thing in the world.

The priests were floored. How on earth did she know?

Determined not to be recognized, the next day they went back to the store and bought even crazier outfits — the kind you can hear before you see! Dressed in their new, over-the-top beachwear, they returned to the sand, ready to blend in.

But wouldn’t you know it — the same blonde appeared, this time in an even tinier string bikini. She walked right up to them, flashed a smile, and once again said,

“Good morning, Father. Good morning, Father.”

Finally, one priest couldn’t take it anymore and asked,

“Excuse me, young lady, we are priests — but how in the world did you know?”

She laughed and replied,

“Oh, come on, Father! It’s me — Sister Angela!”

Agriculture: Iraqi Crops Have Reached Markets In The Gulf, Jordan, And Europe 

Iraqi agricultural crops - Money and Business  Economy News – Baghdad   The Ministry of Agriculture announced on Sunday that it exported more than 1.5 million tons of surplus agricultural produce last year.  It noted that the use of protected agriculture and modern irrigation contributed to
 
     increased production and the availability of  surplus produce for export.
 
The ministry also confirmed that it
is working to hold several exhibitions and meetings with European embassies
to open markets for Iraqi agricultural products in the European Union.
 
The Undersecretary of the Ministry, Mahdi Sahar Al-Jubouri, said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and seen by "Al-Eqtisad News", that
 
"the data completed for the export of surplus agricultural commodities during the year 2024 was

     led by dates with more than 650,000 tons, then
     vegetable crops with about 308,000 tons, and among these crops were
          potatoes, the first crop, then tomatoes,
          then eggplant, peppers and cucumbers, in addition to several crops such as
          amber rice and jasmine that were exported abroad in quantities." He added,
 
"This surplus was during the 2024 season, and
 
we expect it to exceed this amount and this shift as a result of the
 
     use of protected agriculture for vegetable crops, in addition to the
     use of modern irrigation with fixed sprinklers and drips, and
 
this was reflected in the increase in production of agricultural crops in general." He pointed out that
 
"large quantities of fodder crops were exported,
including clover, alfalfa, and tobacco, after meeting local needs for them,
 
especially with the increase in livestock numbers during the recent period due to the expansion of cultivated areas using the modern irrigation system."

He pointed out that"Iraqi crops are exported extensively to Gulf countries, Jordan, and European Union countries,
 
with the ministry working to hold several exhibitions and meetings with European embassies to open markets for Iraqi agricultural goods in the EU." He stressed that

 From Wasted Fire To Productive Energy... Rashidiya Gas Revives The Taji Station And Saves The Environment.
 
Economy 3-05-2025, Baghdad Today – Baghdad  In the heart of Baghdad, where gas has been burning for decades in the Rashidiya field, turning into smoke that clouds the city's air and is wasted for no good,
 
a new story has begun, written with decades of will and planning.
 
This vital resource has stood witness to the absence of optimal exploitation and to years of neglect and delay.
 
But today the scene has changed.
 
That wasted fire is being transformed into a flowing energy that lights up Iraqi homes and
revives hope in a summer that has long been marked by power outages and the suffering of citizens.

 In the same context, the Middle Oil Company announced today, Saturday (May 3, 2025), in Baghdad, that it had supplied the Taji power station with 17 megawatts of gas, which contributed to the station’s production reaching about 80 megawatts to serve citizens, while indicating that the
 
Minister of Oil, Hayan Abdul Ghani, directed work to
increase the quantities of gas supplied to the power stations, especially with the onset of summer.
 
The company's general manager, Mohammed Yassin, told Baghdad Today,
 
"Gas has been flared in the Rashidiya field in Baghdad since the 1980s.
 
However, the Central Oil Administration, under the direction of Minister Al-Sawad, worked to maintain the equipment and units used for gas compression.
 
Gas was produced to supply the Taji power station with the best types,
which contributed to the production of 80 megawatts per day." 

He stressed that "these efforts have resulted in gas production and environmental protection from its continued flaring," noting
 
"the company's determination to increase gas production from its fields in the governorates."
 
The Rashidiya field is one of the oldest gas fields in the capital, Baghdad, having been operational since the 1980s.
 
Despite its rich gas resources, this resource has been flared for decades without any real investment, causing significant economic losses and accumulated environmental damage.
 
Given the growing need for electricity, especially during the summer,
the importance of harnessing this wasted gas has become clear, particularly at a time when the national electricity system  faces major challenges related to production and distribution.     https://baghdadtoday.news/273439-.html

Good evening Dinar Recaps,

KEY CRYPTO EVENTS YOU CAN’T MISS THIS WEEK: WILL BTC DIP?

This week is packed with key events that could have an impact on the crypto sector. Don’t miss out—here’s what you need to know.

May 7 – Fed Interest Rate Decision, Ether’s Pectra upgrade

All eyes are on the Fed’s interest rate decision, which would affect the market sentiment across the financial and crypto sector.

The Fed is expected to keep the interest rates unchanged at 4.25–4.5%. While inflation could push the Fed to keep rates steady, President Trump’s push for a rate cut could influence the decision.

Trump, in a recent post, pointed to strong jobs data and falling prices as reasons for a rate cut. He also credited his tariff policy for bringing in billions.

All Eyes on Fed Chair’s Comments

However, there’s something more important than the rate decision itself that investors and analysts will be watching closely: What the Fed Chair has to say. Specifically, any comments on U.S. tariff policies are highly expected from Powell.

In its last meeting, it noted steady economic growth, low unemployment, and a strong job market. However, inflation remained high, and uncertainty had also increased. Bitcoin dropped slightly after the last Fed rate update, falling from over $84,000 to around $83,500.

The Fed has five meetings remaining on its 2025 calendar. On the same day, Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade is all set to go live, which will impact Ether’s price. It includes 11 improvements, mainly focused on making wallet use and recovery easier, and raising the maximum stake for one node from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH.

May 8 – US Initial Jobless Claims

The US initial jobless claims will provide fresh insights into the labor and market health. The report shows how the US job market is performing. Fewer jobless claims would mean that the economy is strong, while more claims would indicate the economy is weak.

May 13, 15 – US CPI and PPI Data

The US CPI will come in on May 13, and on May 15, the PPI report is scheduled. Both reports will be closely watched as key inflation signals by both traders and policymakers.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropped by 0.1% in March, while Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, rose just 0.1%. Bitcoin had climbed slightly above $82,000 over the news.

The recent PPI report on April 11, 2025, showed a 0.4% month-over-month decline. Bitcoin rose 4%, reaching $82,500 following the data.

Bitcoin dropped below $94,000 ahead of the Fed decision. It has dropped 3% over the weekend, from $96,926 to $94,162, and could drop to $92K next.

BRICS ABANDONS US DOLLAR, SETTLES 65% OF TRADE IN LOCAL CURRENCIES

• Russia confirms 65% of BRICS trade is now settled in local currencies, not the US dollar.

• Only one-third of BRICS trade now uses the dollar, signaling a dramatic shift in global finance.

• The bloc is pushing for independent payment systems to insulate from US sanctions.

Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, announced that more than 65% of trade settlements among BRICS nations are now conducted in local currencies rather than the US dollar. Only about one-third of all trade payments are still made in dollars — a sharp decline that points to the greenback’s weakening grip on global trade.

“National currencies already account for more than 65% within the framework of trade among BRICS members. The dollar’s share declined to one-third against such background.”
— Sergey Lavrov

BRICS: Trade Shift Toward Local Currencies

The trend reflects growing resistance to US sanctions and tariffs. Member states are choosing local currencies to protect their economies and exert greater sovereignty over financial systems.

Lavrov elaborated during a meeting in Brazil:

“The meeting of BRICS finance ministers and central banks governors was held not long ago, where tasks of forming independent payment systems were reviewed... It was assigned to proactively use national currencies in mutual trade.”

Global Impact and De-Dollarization Momentum

Many non-BRICS countries are closely watching this trend. Nations in Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia are reportedly evaluating the potential to follow BRICS’ lead in reducing reliance on the US dollar.

If these nations shift away from the dollar for trade settlements, the impact on the US economy could be severe, especially if the US government fails to keep the dollar central to global trade.

Will U.S. Basel III Unleash Gold? BIS' New Reset Plan

Will U.S. Basel III Unleash Gold? BIS' New Reset Plan

Daniela Carbone:  5-5-2025

We could see a reset of some type that changes the whole system,” warns David Morgan, publisher of The Morgan Report. In an interview with Daniela Cambone, Morgan discusses the looming failure of the debt-based fiat monetary system, which he believes will ultimately lead to a financial crisis.

“We are not where the market says we are… the financial system has been illogical for a very long time.” He adds that we’re now in a “brisk walk” phase of gold accumulation, with central banks buying gold “hand over fist” as the public slowly begins to catch on.

 Meanwhile, “Silver is the Achilles heel of the entire financial system,” he says, indicating the metal’s disruptive potential to the current fiat structure.

 Key Facts:

 Silver is the Achilles heel of the entire financial system.

The run to gold has begun.

 Monetary reset is coming.

 The BIS has a plan for a new monetary system.

U.S. Basel III Deadline Approaches as Central Banks Brace for Gold

U.S. Basel III Deadline Approaches as Central Banks Brace for Gold

Taylor Kenny:  5-4-2025

Basel III, gold, and the decline of the U.S. dollar—in this video, Taylor Kenney explains how global banking rules are quietly repositioning gold from a commodity to tier one money.

The world of finance and banking is undergoing a significant shift, with the new Basel III regulations repositioning gold from a commodity to tier one money.

This change, largely overlooked by main stream media, has profound implications for the global financial system, inflation, and the future of U.S. monetary dominance.

Taylor Kenney of ITM Trading explains that Basel III, an international framework for bank regulations, is driving this change.

The new rules require banks to hold more capital in the form of liquid assets, such as gold, to ensure financial stability in the face of potential crises.

This change has prompted central banks worldwide to stockpile physical gold, recognizing its enduring value and its role as a safe haven during economic turbulence.

The reclassification of gold as a tier one asset under Basel III signifies a return to its historical role as a reserve asset. Gold’s unique characteristics, including its scarcity, divisibility, and universal acceptance, make it an ideal store of value. Moreover, unlike fiat currencies, gold is not subject to counterparty risk, making it an attractive option for central banks seeking to bolster their reserves.

The shift towards gold as a reserve asset exposes the weaknesses in the current financial system. The U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency has long been a cornerstone of U.S. economic power. However, the growing recognition of gold’s value and the increasing debt levels of the U.S. government have raised questions about the long-term viability of the dollar’s dominance.

Furthermore, the new regulations could have significant implications for global markets and inflation. As central banks accumulate more gold, demand for the precious metal is likely to increase, driving up its price. This, in turn, could lead to inflationary pressures, as the cost of goods and services linked to gold, such as jewelry and electronics, rises.

Additionally, the shift towards gold as a reserve asset could lead to a rebalancing of global economic power. Countries with significant gold reserves, such as Russia and China, could see their influence grow, potentially challenging the U.S.’s monetary dominance.

In conclusion, the Basel III regulations are driving a significant shift in the global financial system, repositioning gold as a tier one asset and challenging the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency.

 This change has profound implications for global markets, inflation, and the future of U.S. monetary dominance. As central banks stockpile physical gold, investors would be wise to take note of this trend and consider its potential impact on their portfolios.

Iraq Economic News And Points To Ponder Monday Afternoon 5-5-25

Economist: Jordan Is The Biggest Beneficiary Of Washington's Decisions Against Iraqi Banks.
 
May 4, 15:08  Information/Baghdad..  Economic expert Munir al-Obaidi confirmed on Sunday that the
 
US decision to restrict the operations of a large number of Iraqi banks, on the pretext of dollar smuggling to China and Iran, did not achieve its objectives.
 
Instead, it led to counterproductive results, increasing the volume of remittances to those same countries.

Al-Obaidi said in a tweet followed by Al-Maalouma Agency,
 
"The US authorities had justified their decision by the fact that a
large portion of dollar sales in Iraq go to China,
 
which prompted them to suspend a number of Iraqi banks from foreign transactions,
while maintaining the activity of foreign banks, especially Jordanian ones."  Al-Obaidi pointed out that
 
"official figures reveal a clear contradiction in this argument,
as the volume of imports in the first quarter of 2025 reached approximately $4 billion,
compared to $3.2 billion in the first quarter of 2023, i.e.,
before restrictions were imposed on Iraqi banks."  He continued,
 
"What actually happened was the exclusion of Iraqi banks from external financial activity,
while the door was opened wide to foreign banks, particularly Jordanian ones,
which rushed to expand into the Iraqi market and benefit from the remittance flows."  Al-Obaidi concluded by saying:
 
"It seems that the issue is not related to trade or monetary policy,
 
but rather to international relations
for which the issue of dollar smuggling was used as a cover,
allowing foreign banks to control the Iraqi market,
without changing the beneficiaries or transfer trends."  End/25

Al-Nusairi: Comprehensive banking reform means modernizing and developing banks, ensuring their compliance with international standards, and transitioning to a rapidly growing economy.
 

Uses  Economy News – Baghdad   Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi confirmed that the 
banking reform project launched by the Central Bank last month in cooperation with the
 
     government and the
     global consulting firm Oliver Wyman
 
was held at a ceremony attended by the Prime Minister.

Al-Nusairi said in a televised interview followed by "Al-Eqtisad News" that the banking reform project aims primarily, within the specified timeframes, to
 
     modernize and develop the private banking sector,
     comply with international standards, transition to a rapidly growing national economy,
     expand digital transformation,
     enhance financial inclusion,
     stimulate electronic payments,
     strengthen cybersecurity,
     use artificial intelligence to analyze and ensure the transparency of banking data,
     create a financial center, and
     authorize and license digital banks. He added that
 
it achieves 
     stimulating and sustainable returns for investors,
     creates a fair competitive environment in the banking market, and
     restores confidence in the banking sector.

 He explained that the private banking sector achieved good business results in 2024,
despite 50% of our banks being subject to sanctions and restrictions on the use of the US dollar.
 
The ratio of credit granted to deposits reached 67.9%, which means the
banks are moving towards the real work of financing and investing in deposits.
 
The banks’ capital rose to 20 trillion dinars,
     an increase of 8.7% due to the
     implementation of the Central Bank’s instructions to raise capital to 400 billion dinars and
     setting September 30, 2025 as the deadline for increasing the capital of the remaining banks.
 
Al-Nusairi pointed out that the objectives set for banking reform are in line with the main and sub-objectives of the Central Bank's third strategy for the years 2024-2026,
 
which comprises
     7 main objectives,
     24 sub-objectives, and
     75 initiatives to achieve these objectives.
 
The Central Bank's management is working to implement them
     in accordance with approved policies and programs and
     in cooperation with relevant authorities.

Economist: Cash Liquidity Is Available, And The Currency Auction Is Further Strengthening It At Banks.
 
May 4 09:24  Information/Baghdad...Economic researcher Diaa Abdul Karim said on Sunday that
 
Iraqi dinar liquidity is available at banks and the Central Bank,
with the currency auction working to boost domestic demand.  Abdul Karim told Al-Maalouma,
 
"The currency auction sells approximately $300 million daily,
which increases the liquidity in Iraqi dinars.
 
Baghdad receives monthly oil revenues from the Federal Reserve in dollars,
 
but the Federal Reserve sometimes fails to deliver these revenues to Iraq,
which is a clear violation of financial agreements."  He added, "The process of
 
securing liquidity in its entirety
does not occur through rotating between the dollar and the dinar,
 
but rather through printing more denominations of banknotes
by deducting a percentage of the dollar from oil revenues
in exchange for printing Iraqi currency abroad."  He explained that "the
 
impact of oil prices on
     employee salaries and the
     lack of liquidity
will not be evident at the present time, but rather
 
its repercussions will begin to appear in about six months
if oil prices continue to decline in global markets." End 25N

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Monday Afternoon 5-5-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

HOUSE REPUBLICANS RELEASE DISCUSSION DRAFT OF A BILL TO REGULATE THE CRYPTO INDUSTRY AT LARGE

▪️ The discussion draft released on Monday includes language around the U.S. SEC and CFTC’s authority.

▪️ The draft also includes requirements around disclosures and outlines how “digital commodity exchanges” would be registered.

House Republicans have unveiled a discussion draft of a bill aimed at regulating the digital asset industry, building on years of legislative groundwork.

Leading the initiative are top Republicans on the House Financial Services Committee — Reps. French Hill and Bryan Steil — in collaboration with their counterparts on the House Agriculture Committee — Reps. Glenn "GT" Thompson and Dusty Johnson. The draft was officially released on Monday.

“We made historic progress in the 118th Congress to build bipartisan, bicameral consensus in crafting a functional regulatory framework for digital assets,” said Rep. Hill in a statement.

“Our discussion draft builds upon that work and provides much-needed regulatory clarity for the digital asset ecosystem by protecting consumers and safeguarding the long-term integrity of digital asset markets in the United States.”

Blueprint for the 21st Century

As previously reported by The Block, lawmakers planned to release the draft before a key hearing titled:

“American Innovation and the Future of Digital Assets: A Blueprint for the 21st Century.”

This new draft is expected to mirror last year’s Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), which successfully passed the House.

What FIT21 Proposed

FIT21 was designed to clarify the regulatory lines between:

• The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

• The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)

It would grant more power and funding to the CFTC to oversee:

• Crypto spot markets

• Digital commodities — particularly Bitcoin

The bill would also establish parameters for how and when the SEC exercises jurisdiction over digital assets.

Key Components of the New Discussion Draft

The updated draft released Monday includes:

• Language detailing the authority of the SEC and CFTC

• A “pathway to raise funds under the SEC’s jurisdiction”

• A “clear process to register with the CFTC for digital commodity trading”

• Disclosure requirements for crypto projects

• Registration guidelines for “digital commodity exchanges”

ARIZONA SENATOR VOWS TO REINTRODUCE BITCOIN RESERVE BILL DESPITE GOVERNOR’S VETO

▪️ Governor Hobbs' veto did not deter Senator Rogers, who insists future leadership will embrace Bitcoin's potential.

▪️ Senator Wendy Rogers plans to reintroduce the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) bill next session.

▪️ The vetoed bill aimed to allocate retirement funds into Bitcoin, drawing strong reactions from both sides.

Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers has declared her intent to reintroduce her proposed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) bill in the upcoming legislative session, despite a recent veto from Governor Katie Hobbs.

This marks a historic first — the first formal rejection of a crypto initiative by a sitting U.S. governor.

 “Politicians don’t understand that Bitcoin doesn’t need Arizona. Arizona needs Bitcoin. I will refile my bill next session.”
— Senator Wendy Rogers

About the SBR Bill (Senate Bill 1025)

The bill, officially called Senate Bill 1025, would have:

• Authorized the Arizona state treasurer to allocate part of the state’s retirement funds to Bitcoin

• Passed both chambers of the Arizona legislature without changes

• Been vetoed by Governor Hobbs, who cited concerns over volatility and long-term risk

Despite the rejection, Senator Rogers remains confident that future administrations may take a more favorable stance.

“If she vetoes it again, I am sure Governor Andy Biggs will be happy to take credit for signing the bill for this already proven (16 years!) innovation that will protect our wealth.”
— Senator Rogers

Current Exposure to Bitcoin

Interestingly, Arizona’s State Retirement System (ASRS) already has indirect exposure to Bitcoin through investments in Strategy, the largest corporate holder of the asset, according to Julian Fahrer, founder of Bitcoin Laws.

What’s Next for Arizona?

Though SB1025 is currently off the table, crypto legislation in Arizona is far from over. Another proposal — Senate Bill 1373 — is still under review.

🟩 Key Differences in SB1373:  Does not involve retirement funds

• Seeks to allow the state to retain and manage cryptocurrencies obtained through seizures or appropriated assets

However, given Governor Hobbs’ resistance to 

SB1025, it’s unclear whether she would support SB1373 — even though some believe its administrative nature may give it a better shot at approval.

Note: All intel should be considered as "Rumors" until we receive official announcements ...and “Rates and Dates” could change anytime until we get to the banks/redemption centers.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 5 May 2025

Compiled Mon. 5 May 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Global Currency Reset:

Judy Note: It is my personal opinion that as of Mon. 5 May 2025 money was defiantly moving across the World, Bond Holders were liquid but under strict NDAs not to talk about it and as of Thurs. 1 May 2025 the Dong and Dinar were being exchanged in the Middle East.

Sometime between now and next Wed. 7 May the EBS could activate over our phones and we could get an email giving instructions on how to set up exchange appointments. The information would also be published on various Dinar websites and in this update.

Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) notifications should be out at any time, with appointments starting immediately.

Once notified we would have ten days to set our appointments and until the end of May 2025 to go to those appointments. If we exchange at a bank we could get a lower exchange rate than if we exchanged at an official Redemption Center – which was also the only place where we could redeem Zim Bonds.

All exchanges at official Redemption Centers were to be finished by Sat. 31 May 2025. After that, Zim could no longer be redeemed and we would have to do currency exchanges at a bank using the lower rates.

Iraq Reset in Motion, New System Quietly Standing by

589bull:  5-5-2025

Iraq just drained 5-year dormant tax reserves to cover salaries.

Why? Because the Federal Reserve delayed USD transfers and liquidity inside Iraq’s banks has collapsed.

Loans frozen. Salary advances halted. Quiet emergency orders leaked.

Reset in motion.

Old system breaking down.
New system quietly standing by.

Crypto Trader:  Iraq's banks running dry: Ministry resorts to tax funds for wages

Drewsome109:  Wouldn’t Iraq have a higher chance of RV if their economy was doing good/stable? Seems like they’re scrambling for liquidity while the budget hasn’t been passed and keeps getting delayed.

589bull:  Iraq’s liquidity crisis, USD bottlenecks, and delayed budget are part of a controlled collapse to force a shift to the new rate and digital framework.

Is Iraq Hiding Its "Real" Annual Income Both the Development Road Project and Religious Tourism in Iraq will increase Iraq's annual revenues beyond expectations.

These project revenues along with manufacturing and oil revenue will help to increase the annual revenues. We know this. However, we did not know that Iraq's yearly tourism revenue is already over $12 billion a year. Iraq is hiding their annual revenues.
