Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 5-22-25   

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight -  it is Thursday May 22nd   and you're listening to the big call, listening from all over the globe. i predict as a  result of the Sat Team that’s got the signal going all over as the result of the StarLink Satellite System   Thank you for listening, tuning in, and it’s great to have  Sue and  Bob  with us

Well, let's do this, guys, let's talk about where we are in our intel point of view right now, got some information that I want to give you.

Think we're all at the point where we know everything's ready to go. We're ready for it, hopefully. But what I found really interesting yesterday was last night when I got this information, and it was further fine tuned, if you will, today, with a little better explanation of some of it.

What we have is a number of points.  I'm going to say, seven or eight different points of things that the redemption center personnel, the staffs  redemption center, were made aware of yesterday,  and this is regarding our exchanges and the redemption of zim, but hey wanted all of their staff to be up to speed fully in terms of what to expect and what we are to expect when we go in for our exchanges.

All right now, these are not in any particular order. I'm going to bring them up as they come to me. But the first point dealt with, when you get to the redemption center, you will have a certain amount of biometrics. And my position on this is you will get a camera taking a picture of you that would give them facial recognition of who you are.

And we know we're going to get biometric fingerprint or thumb print when it comes to our quantum card, right? We know that's part of the security for us to use our own quantum card, and nobody else can use it but you  - and I mentioned before that those quantum cards are already in the redemption centers, and many of which have our names embossed on it already, it's kinda wild.  So point one, biometric recognition software will be used.

Let's go further with that. Everything that we say and what we do will be recorded forever into the quantum computer system. They will record you, your presentation. They'll record your voice, what you say, all of that is going to be saved and archived for whatever purpose, they basically are filming and taping this exchange appointment that we have. Okay, that's point two.

Okay Number three - This goes back to our setting up of our appointment when we get the toll free number to call and set up our appointment through call center, we will be transferred our call will be connected  to the redemption center, or you'll be given the direct phone number to call that redemption center that you indicate by your zip code, by whether you want exchange near where you live, where you work, or where you're out of town. But you know the area code, or rather, you know the zip code for that area of the redemption center where you're going to be. Let's say you're traveling or vacationing, probably won't affect that many people, but it could affect you where you're not exchanging at home. At home, that's your home zip code, okay, when you get transferred, what they're going to do to confirm your appointment time, and they're calling it a time slot, s, l, o, t, a time slot.

 And when they confirm that back to you, they'll confirm it to you either as an email or and or as a phone text to your phone --  for me, since I don't do email, I'm going to opt for the phone just confirm it to me as a text on my phone that I can read.

Okay, so you'll have that option. Evidently, when you set your appointment, that's when you're calling the 800 number, getting to the call center, the call center reroutes you to the redemption center, or gives you a toll free number to call the Redemption center. Might not be a toll free number,  it could be a local number. Should be a local number to you, okay, all right, I think that's point three,

I don't know how many total points I'm going to give you, but these are all good,

Number four - all of  the exchanges on dinar, which Is Iraqi, dinar,  Vietnamese, Dong and Zimbabwe dollar or Zim, as we call it, all of those currencies, all of those exchanges are asset backed exchanges, just to tell you that, yeah, the exchange is actually asset backed.

Well, we know that. We know that's true of all the currencies we think, but those three they singled out , okay, that's good to know. We kind of knew that already.

All right, let's go beyond that. After your exchange, you will be able to have people to help you with investments, which I'm going to try to minimize all that try to use the interest that the banks will pay on my accounts with Wells, okay, and there'll be people to Give you project support for your projects, and that's basically you'll get, you'll get help in terms of management, if you will, of your money.

And that's where Wells have premier bankers. It's like Sue said earlier, it's an ultra high worth individual, especially if you're a Zim holder. And so they will certainly make their people available to help you. Should you require it or should you request it?

Okay, that's very important. Let's see. Where else are we going to go from there? All right, I think the next missing a couple of things Sue. Do you know of anything else that I need to talk about that we discussed earlier? Window, the time window? Do that that's saving that for last? Anything?

Nope, okay, I think that's most of it. You guys know most of it already. I just wanted to clarify.

 Here's one thing, thank you, Lord. Here's one other thing. You are going to receive, the quantum card, which I call the quantum access card, the Q Card, the quantum card, which gives you access to your quantum account. And virtual, or a actually, is called a sovereign wallet. It's a virtual wallet.

That's what they're calling your quantum account, because your quantum account card is what gives you access to it, and that card is not used to buy anything with it's only used to move funds from your quantum account, your sovereign wallet, to your bank account or accounts, and you know, you don't make any interest on the quantum account.

 It's basically held, if you will, by the US Treasury. Okay, that's where it's held. And then when it's when you move funds into a bank account like I'm using a primary account with well three, four second accounts with wells for my LS, that is when you can earn interest on your primary or secondary bank accounts, and the interest rate is negotiable up to a certain Point.

And rather than me tell you what the last rate is, let's just let you be surprised. It should be very good. I plan, personally not to get involved in a ton of different investments. There's no reason for me, in my mind to do that, and we move funds easily from our quantum account, into our bank accounts, and if we're paid interest, let's say a quarter, we get payment.

That's going to be plenty, and that's going to be a nice size payment too. It'll be a nice size payment that our job one is going to be to invest it in people's lives. Invest it into our projects, or other projects or other worthy areas to expend, to expend that money. And the last, and probably the most important thing for us right now, is the timing of this, and I got final clarification on this this afternoon.

The beginning of our notifications to come out. These are the emails that are coming from Wells Fargo servers to us with the toll free number on it, they can start early as 5:01pm tomorrow, which is Friday.

Now there's a period of 28 hours that they're saying that these these notifications can come out anytime within the next 28 hours, starting at 5:01pm eastern daylight on tomorrow, Friday. So that puts us to Friday night. Saturday even takes us into Sunday.

This is dependent on one thing that all of the banks around the world, and I told you, we had an issue with some of the international banks that were playing ball, all of the banks around the globe being fully with the quantum financial system and with the Starlink system, connectability, interconnect ability, this is good for the entire world.

So this is what dependent on it Do we have full interconnectivity in the first 28 hours per 5:01pm tomorrow. We'll see if we don't get it in that time frame, which would put us probably to sometime, I don't know, Saturday night or Sunday morning, if we don't have it over the weekend, at that time, they would put another 28 hour period on top of it that would follow our initial, original 28 hours once they were fully interconnected.

However, as once we had full interconnection of all banks with QFs, with Starlink satellite system. And these guys will be working around the clock to get that done. They're doing it now. They're getting it ready. They're getting it ready. Maybe we get word even tomorrow or Saturday morning, everything's golden or going now, as far as that goes, the weekend should be when we get notified, provided everything is Fully interconnected globally.

Now here's the other thing, one of about Monday being Memorial Day, a holiday for us in the US, that they're saying that these these notifications can come out anytime within the next 28 hours, starting at 5:01pm eastern daylight on tomorrow, Friday. So that puts us to Friday night. Saturday even takes us into Sunday.

This is dependent on one thing that all of the banks around the world, and I told you, we had an issue with some of the international banks that were playing ball, all of the banks around the globe being fully with the quantum financial system and with the Starlink system, connectability, interconnect ability, this is good for the entire world.

So this is what dependent on it Do we have full interconnectivity in the first 28 hours per 5:01pm tomorrow. We'll see if we don't get it in that time frame, which would put us probably to sometime,

I don't know, Saturday night or Sunday morning, if we don't have it over the weekend, at that time, they would put another 28 hour period on top of it that would follow our initial, original 28 hours once they were fully interconnected.

However, as once we had full interconnection of all banks with QFs, with Starlink satellite system. And these guys will be working around the clock to get that done. They're doing it now. They're getting it ready. They're getting it ready. Maybe we get word even tomorrow or Saturday morning, everything's golden or going now, as far as that goes, the weekend should be when we get notified, provided everything is fully interconnected globally.

Now here's the other thing,  one of about Monday being Memorial Day, a holiday for us in the US, one of the redemption center leaders was told he might be working Monday for four or five hours. Now, that depends on a lot of things. If we had started as early as, let's say, Saturday or even Sunday, would we go through Monday?

 Depending on the demographics, the demand for an appointment on Monday, I think it's quite possible, maybe half a day, maybe four hours, maybe five hours, depending on just how many currency holders and Zim holders there are in that particular area, there might not be that much to exchange and Zim to redeem in a certain area, and they may not be open on Monday, but if that were the case, they'd resume on Tuesday and go right on through the end of the month and beyond.

We're going to wrap this up by the end of May. No way that's going to happen now. It'll go well into June, because I think they want to give two weeks, and in some cases, three or four weeks before they shut down the redemption centers.

Now remember, what I'm telling you about is what the redemption center staff received yesterday. We were lucky enough to find out about it, and I'm passing it on to you in pretty accurate explanation of it. This is very meaningful, and the fact that they put the timing for the start of this in writing and explained it hopefully as well as I did, to the staff, tells us this is going, this is a real thing.

Another point that was made, this is not it's almost there. It's almost ready to go, going, as in, now, this is happening. This is going this is not a drill. This is a real number, and we're fortunate enough to have been part of it, and are very much integral in these exchanges and the redemption of zoom.

Okay, so let's talk about a couple of other things that are sort of relative to this. You've got the protocol. You start early as 5:01pm patients, 28 hours from there, if you want to do the calculation, see what that please do. I think I could do that my head good. 24 and four plus four, that means five. Saturday would be 9pm Saturday night by 9pm for 28 hours would take place if we're really interconnected with the USS, the Starlink satellites. That's an integral part of all this.

So what's really cool is that's why it's not 24 hours. That's why it's 28 hours. It takes that much longer for the world fully to be completely interconnected. They're giving a little extra so here's the other still supposed to happen, if not this week, today,  yesterday for the Wednesday social security people, the fears it Still will happen, if not this week, the next week, if you're allowed, going to be a nice increase.

What I understand a nice increase that would increase and keep going month after month else? What about Doge? Doge payments are to start in it didn't happen this month. This month, it's gonna be June, and it probably won't be by the first week of June either. That's when they start. So let's just say the month of June, we're expecting payments.

If you're between 34 and 60 years,    you expect five to $600 a month for two years, 24 months of older, be a lot, lot more. This number was quite don't even want to speak  change. They weren't even yesterday or direct deposit, being both, I think the 3460s could get theirs out. This is my opinion, the city district, large check. Now that's Doge.

Oh, but Bruce, what about R and R? Yeah, for those of us who are going to the redemption centers for our exchange, they will be at the redemption center in our quantum accounts, or they will send it probably by direct deposit, but those of us who will exchange it will be there when we get there in our corner that they'll tap into when we get it activated, we should see it.

 They should have the amount that we can see. How much is our currency exchange and Zim redemption goes into that quantum wallet that we'll have the sovereign wallet, calling two or three different things. A quantum sovereign was one expression,  virtual wallet. You get the idea it's the quantum account is what it is, all right, that took care of those that took care of R and r1.

Other thing I'm   going to take this really quick. Okay, hello, yeah, hey, Sue, that was a that

was a fun discussion, just imagining what is, what our world is going to be okay. Here's the deal. Here's the deal. This is kind of a biggie. You guys remember Debt Jubilee. You remember that NESARA, and countries outside the US are under GESARA - G, E, S, A, R, A, we're under NESARA national economic blah, blah, blah, yeah, that's where you're in. So this is part of it, that Jubilee.

 Okay, it starts June, complete, by July, 4, June, 3, following, May, end, July, 4. What a celebration this year will be. Next year will be. So what are we talking about? We're talking about credit cards, bank loans, car loans, any loan that was made through a financial institution where they charge you interest.

It's all going to be wiped out in that what is that? 30 days? 31 day period, June 3 through July, 4. Now that is what, and it is part of Nasara. Now, will they announce that before it happens? I hope so. So you get a heads up, but you would get, let's say you have a mortgage and you owe a couple 100,000 on your house, or 150,000 on your house, according to work that would get forgiven and wiped out.

And you would receive a letter from that lending institution. Whoever has your mortgage left, really, you would get a letter that would say that you that that loan has been forgiven, it's been zeroed out. And then you will receive, at some point, you'll receive your title to that property, outstanding liens or anything against that property, against that title.

Okay, so you know, if that's your situation, I'm going to do this. In my case, I still have a mortgage. June's happens. As far as July is concerned, May is already paid, coming up due. Then I'll probably see what happens for July.

One other thing that's really big is the House of Representatives, the big budget one, the one big budget bill was passed and handed over, or the other side Hill this in the Senate by make any adjustments and pass that beautiful bill as President Trump called it, we thought what he wanted in it, not everything, not everything. We got no tax on tips in it. We got no tax on overtime. Did we get a reduced tax?

Social on Social Security for seniors. I think the rate might be adjusted, but there was no mention of it. I may not have changed at all. We'll see what happens on that. I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised.

And did the bill have to go through all this happen? I think so you don't know. Maybe so, Senator, we don't expect any problem, and President Trump by Memorial Day, which is Monday. I think maybe, if not, I'll have it shortly thereafter.

So that's  everything that I think is current and pertinent to us who have been in this, for me over 20 years now and and I think big call universe  to benefit from it.

Good and glad to be able to bring that out to you tonight, and I want to just say thank you for listening to the big call. Are we going to have another call Tuesday? I don't know if, in celebration call, it should be by everything we're hearing we should be underway. By day, we should be well underway. Let's see what happens over the weekend. Pay attention to your email over the weekend. Let's see if it comes in by Saturday, 28 hours, five tomorrow. So let's see how that goes.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Afternoon 5-23-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Crypto perp futures coming ‘very soon,’ says CFTC’s Mersinger

CFTC Commissioner Hints at Major Breakthrough for U.S. Crypto Derivatives Market

Summer Mersinger, outgoing Commissioner of the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has confirmed that crypto perpetual futures contracts may soon be live and regulated in the United States.

“We’re seeing some applications, and I believe we’ll see some of those products trading live very soon,” Mersinger said in a May 22 interview with Bloomberg TV.

What Are Perpetual Futures?

• Crypto perpetual futures are derivatives that allow traders to speculate on asset prices without owning the actual cryptocurrencies.

• Unlike traditional futures, perpetuals have no expiration date and are typically traded with high leverage.

• Currently, they are banned in the U.S. and are mostly traded on offshore platforms like:

• Binance (~$95B/day in trading volume)

• OKX

• Bybit

Bringing Trading Back Onshore

Mersinger emphasized that enabling these products in the U.S. would:

• Benefit the crypto industry broadly

• Promote market transparency

• Make the U.S. a hub for regulated crypto derivatives

“It would be great to get that trading back onshore in the United States,” she added.

Mersinger’s Next Move: Blockchain Association

• Mersinger will step down from the CFTC at the end of May.

• She will become CEO of the Blockchain Association on June 2, replacing Kristin Smith.

• The association has over 100 member organizations representing the broader crypto economy.

“We have a strong incoming chairman at the CFTC who will be a real advocate for the industry,” she noted.

GENIUS Act Vote Signals Momentum

• Mersinger also referenced the procedural advancement of the GENIUS stablecoin bill, calling it a sign that:

“This asset class is clearly here to stay.”

• She believes this momentum will help establish the U.S. as a global economic leader in digital assets.

🧠 Takeaway: With perpetual futures likely heading stateside and Mersinger stepping into a prominent advocacy role, the U.S. crypto derivatives landscape may be poised for a major regulatory evolution.

BRICS: DEMAND FOR US DOLLAR GROWS IN OIL PAYMENTS, LOCAL CURRENCY DIPS

BRICS De-Dollarization Strategy Backfires in Nigeria

The BRICS alliance's push to replace the US dollar with local currencies in oil transactions has hit a major setback.

In October, Nigeria adopted the BRICS-inspired policy, announcing that oil refiners must accept the Nigerian naira instead of USD to boost the national currency.

• Oil companies complied initially.

• But the naira quickly depreciated, inflicting heavy losses on refiners.

• Dissatisfaction spread as unions and industry lobbies pressured the government to reverse course.

Nigeria is now paying a steep price for ditching the US dollar in favor of the naira for oil payments.

Refiners Push to Return to the Dollar

Despite BRICS’ call to de-dollarize oil settlements, market forces tell a different story:

• The US dollar is regaining demand in Nigeria’s oil sector.

• Refiners are actively seeking to return to USD payments to preserve profit margins.

“The naira’s depreciation was driven by demand-side concerns, with individuals and businesses rushing to buy dollars,” reported NairaMetrics.

Implications for BRICS and Global Oil Markets

• The US dollar remains entrenched in the oil and gas industry.

• Attempts to eliminate it without proper coordination can destabilize local economies.

• The BRICS agenda of local currency usage could face similar backlash in other member or allied nations.

“The greenback is a strong force in the energy sector and upending it will only end up hurting your arm.”

🧠 Takeaway: Nigeria’s failed attempt at local currency oil payments highlights the dominance of the USD in global energy markets. The BRICS de-dollarization dream may be hitting the harsh reality of economic fundamentals and market resistance.

Raise Cash Now, Market is Repeating 2001, Gold, and Credit Flashing Alarms

Raise Cash Now, Market is Repeating 2001, Gold, and Credit Flashing Alarms 

Kitco News:   5-23-2025

While markets continue to rally, veteran trader and founder of The Bear Traps Report, Larry McDonald, is urging investors to raise cash, issuing a “HIGH” cash alert fueled by concerns of an impending recession.

In a recent interview with Kitco News, McDonald, a former Lehman Brothers trader and New York Times bestselling author, drew parallels between the current market surge and the short-covering blowoffs of 2000-2001, signaling a potential downturn on the horizon.

McDonald paints a grim picture of the U.S. economy, suggesting it’s heading towards a rare “two-terms, two-recessions” scenario. He points to mounting credit stress, tightening tariffs, and alarmingly high consumer delinquencies as key indicators. He believes these factors, coupled with the potential for a policy-induced recession, are cause for significant concern.

His warnings extend beyond just the U.S. economy, highlighting potential cracks in the $1.8 trillion private credit market and anxieties surrounding the debt ceiling, Treasury auctions, and impending Fed policy inflection points.

These interwoven stresses, according to McDonald, paint a concerning picture of the global financial system.

McDonald highlighted Warren Buffett’s massive $348 billion cash pile as a potential signal of deeper cracks within the market. He suggests that Buffett’s conservative approach may indicate a lack of attractive investment opportunities amidst growing uncertainty.

He also keeps a watchful eye on AI infrastructure names, viewing them as a tactical opportunity for the next market pullback.

The interview touches upon the performance of various assets during a credit shock. While acknowledging the potential for all three to hold value to some extent, McDonald emphasized the importance of understanding their specific characteristics and risk profiles.

McDonald believes the market is currently overexposed to the U.S. dollar and advocates for a global rotation into hard assets and emerging markets to mitigate risk and potentially capitalize on future growth opportunities.

Despite the bleak overall outlook, McDonald sees potential for growth in specific sectors and regions. He believes that uranium and Brazil are poised to lead the next bull cycle, driven by growing demand for nuclear energy and the potential for economic growth in the South American nation.

In conclusion, Larry McDonald’s “HIGH” cash alert serves as a stark reminder of the potential challenges facing the market.

While he doesn’t advocate for complete withdrawal, his insights offer valuable guidance for investors seeking to navigate the complexities of the current economic landscape by raising cash, diversifying their portfolios, and strategically positioning themselves for potential opportunities.

Coffee with MarkZ and Mr. Cottrell. 05/23/2025

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

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

Member: Good Friday morning to you all:)

Member: Welcome to a 3 day -Memorial Day weekend!!!!!

​​Member: Howdy ya'll looking forward to hearing some GREAT INFO today- I hope.

MZ: It is eerily quiet right now. I had the brief bond update that was letting me know they expect their money next week. Other than that -it is painfully quiet.

MZ: This could well be ethe quiet before the storm …or everybody has NDA’s and they are doing a good job keeping everyone quiet.

Member: When I exchange I plan on being quiet as well.

Member: I hear banks are getting ready

MZ: I have heard that as well….and makes me feel good.

Member: I think it could go anytime now

MZ: That is what I hear.

Member: I am very tired of hearing everything is done…..yet nothing ever happens

MZ: Everything is not done until you and I are exchanging….imo

Member:  Frank26 reported Iraq said to the people, "If you don't bring in the 3 zero notes we will release a new currency and force you to!

MZ: From Iraq “ Among them is Iraq as Iran proposes formation of 8 country economic development group”  this article gave me hope that we will see the Iranian currency in the first basket. This is a similar basket to what Kuwait went in.

MZ: “The association of private banks holds a specialized workshop on regulatory controls of the internal evaluation of the capital adequacy standard” they had a workshop with all the banks explaining all the necessary Basel compliance and requirements they have to meet. The same things all banks are going through to be part of the international system.

MZ: To me this is a clear indicator that Iraq is about to unleash without restrictions. They would not this if Iraq was not going to have an International currency and International banks.

Member: Marco Rubio making powerful statements. Calling the Kurdistan region “The lynchpin, the centerpiece, the most important part of America's Middle East policy.” Let’s go!!

MZ: “Geologist has discovered the largest copper, gold and silver deposits in the last 3 decades”  We are seeing regular discoveries of rare and precious minerals. This one is in Argentina. Assets are important in the new world. Whenever you reset away from fiat- assts become important. The world is positioning for this change.

Member: I wonder what really is the hold up?  This is taking forever

Member: Barzani is going to be on Fox at 6PM eastern Brett Bair show.

Member: Will you have a podcast Memorial Day Mark?

MZ: I am planning a podcast for Monday Morning to honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms.

Member: I hope it is also to announce the RV on Monday as well.

Iraq Economic News And Points To Ponder Friday Morning 5-23-25

The Dollar Is Declining In Iraq. The Reasons Start With The Citizen's Pocket.
 
May 22, Information / Baghdad.. The Iraqi foreign exchange market has recently witnessed a significant decline in the dollar exchange rate, due to a combination of economic and social factors that have directly impacted demand in the parallel market.
 
Iraqi traders have begun to delay imports, driven by expectations that global prices may decline as a result of the decline in oil prices.

This has made many of them refrain from entering into large-scale commercial commitments until the economic picture becomes clearer. https://aja.ws/gh1ewq.
 
In the same context, Iraqi families have begun adopting a more cautious economic approach,
rationalizing spending and reducing consumption in anticipation of any unexpected financial developments that could impact their livelihood stability.
 
This new social behavior has also contributed to reducing demand for goods,
thereby reducing the need for hard currency.
 
In addition, government measures have played a significant role in narrowing the gap between the official and parallel dollar rates,
by expanding the network of banks that provide dollars at the official rate and facilitating import procedures in accordance with regulatory frameworks.
 
This has contributed to reducing reliance on the informal market,
especially after large shopping centers (hypermarkets) began to spread,
relying on imports according to official prices,
which provided consumers with reliable and stable alternatives https://www.ina.iq/229009--.html.
 
In this context, economic expert Safwan Qusay confirmed to Al-Maalouma News Agency that
the decline in demand from Iraqis, particularly traders,
is due to expectations of a decline in global prices due to the decline in oil prices,
which has prompted them to postpone import operations.
 
He explained that there is a near-state of hesitation regarding the import of various goods, and that
Iraqi families have begun adopting a more rational spending policy in anticipation of any future economic developments. He noted that
 
this behavior has directly contributed to reducing demand for the dollar in the informal market. Qusay added that
 
     government efforts to expand access to the official dollar exchange rate through a network of banks,
     traders' familiarity with the mechanism for importing at the official rate, and the
     proliferation of major shopping malls that import goods at the official rate
 
have all contributed to the decline in the dollar exchange rate on the parallel market. He explained that
 
these measures represent important steps towards achieving relative stability in the exchange market
and reducing the gap between the official and parallel rates,
which enhances confidence in monetary policy and the local economy https://alssaa.com/post/show/34076.

This decline in the dollar exchange rate is a positive indicator of the
effectiveness of current economic and monetary policies and
reflects a growing degree of economic awareness among citizens and traders alike.
 
If these factors continue to combine, the market is expected to witness greater stability in exchange rates in the coming period, which will enhance confidence in the national economy and support financial reform  efforts in Iraq   https://almaalomah.me/news/99427/economy/الدولار-يتراجع-في-العراق-الأسباب-تبدأ-من-جيب-المواطن

XRP LEDGER SHARPENS COMPETITIVE EDGE WITH FRESH STABLECOIN ADDITIONS OF EURØP, USDB, AND XSGD

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) just made a major leap forward in the global stablecoin race, with three new fiat-backed stablecoins—EURØP, USDB, and XSGD—joining its ecosystem this week.

This marks a significant expansion of XRPL’s role as a preferred blockchain for cross-border financial transactions and fintech innovation, thanks to its low fees, fast finality, regulatory readiness, and native real-world asset support.

1. EURØP: MiCA-Compliant Euro Stablecoin

On May 22, EURØP, issued by Schuman Financial, became the first MiCA-regulated euro stablecoin on XRPL.

• Fully backed by reserves held at top-tier European banks.

• Audited by KPMG.

• Issuer licensed by France’s ACPR (Banque de France).

“This will give Europe and euro-denominated financial markets an integral infrastructure for the next wave of financial innovation, which is happening on-chain,” said Martin Bruncko, CEO of Schuman Financial.

2. USDB: New USD Option for Brazil

Also on May 22, Brazilian fintech Braza Group launched USDB, a USD-backed stablecoin on XRPL, adding to its earlier BBRL token.

• Braza CEO Marcelo Sacomori sees USDB as a hedge for Brazilians against local currency volatility.

• Projected to reach 30% market share of Brazil’s USD-pegged stablecoin segment by end of 2026.

“New pathways for global currency settlement” will drive the token’s adoption, said Sacomori.

3. XSGD: Singapore’s Stablecoin Comes to XRPL

XSGD, backed 1:1 with reserves at DBS Bank and Standard Chartered, officially launched on May 19.

Issued by StraitsX, a key digital payments provider in Southeast Asia, XSGD is aimed at:

• Financial institutions,

• Startups, and

• Developers seeking fast, low-cost, compliant-ready digital transactions.

“Regulated stablecoins like XSGD will serve as the foundation for borderless, real-time financial services,” said Liu Tianwei, Co-Founder and Deputy CEO of StraitsX.

📈 A Growing Stablecoin Hub

The XRP Ledger is rapidly positioning itself as a stablecoin hub, now offering options for euro (EURØP), U.S. dollar (USDB), and Singapore dollar (XSGD) transactions—each backed by fully regulated, real-world banking infrastructure.

BRICS NEWS: MAJOR UPDATE ON TEN-YEAR DE-DOLLARIZATION PLAN

Amid rising global tensions and economic uncertainty, the BRICS alliance has issued a surprising update on its decade-long de-dollarization strategy, signaling a potential shift in tone and expectation for the US dollar's global role.

Background: BRICS vs. the Dollar

• The BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) has spent the last few years pushing to reduce global reliance on the US dollar, aiming to launch its own trade currency.

• This effort has faced intensifying pressure in 2025 as US President Donald Trump, now in his second term, responded with 150% tariffs on BRICS nations, citing their anti-dollar efforts.

New Outlook: Dollar May Stay on Top

Despite the hostile rhetoric and early-year momentum toward dollar alternatives, Brazil, which holds the 2025 BRICS chairmanship, has made a startling admission:

“There is no realistic prospect of any currency overtaking the US dollar’s dominance over the next decade,” said Nilton David, Brazil’s Monetary Policy Director.

• This represents a major pivot from Brazil’s previous stance as a vocal proponent of full-scale de-dollarization.

• David acknowledged only a small chance of meaningful change in USD dominance by 2035.

Key Takeaways

• BRICS is not abandoning the de-dollarization agenda, but it's tempering expectations.

• The US dollar is still under threat from global dissatisfaction, but full replacement appears unlikely in the near future.

• This could signal a strategic shift: instead of dethroning the dollar, BRICS may now focus on creating a competitive alternative for trade and finance.

The Road Ahead

The "America First" and protectionist policies of the Trump administration have contributed to falling confidence in the greenback, yet they have not yet accelerated BRICS’ efforts to build an immediate replacement.

💬 The question now: Will BRICS build a viable alternative to compete, even if not to replace the US dollar?

Baking a Gigantic Currency Crisis into the Cake – John Rubino

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com 

Analyst and financial writer John Rubino has a new warning concerning Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” making its way through Congress and Moody’s downgrade of US debt. 

 The Big Beautiful Bill is going to explode the debt by $20 trillion in the next 10 years, and the credit downgrade has people like billionaire investment fund founder Ray Dalio worries about money printing to pay the $1.5 trillion in interest on federal debt. 

 Rubino warns, “The story with Moody’s downgrade isn’t that they did it, that they moved the US from triple A (Aaa) to one notch below (Aa1).  It’s kind of insane that a government with 125% of GDP has an investment rating at all.  Right?  They are clearly baking a gigantic currency crisis into the cake. 

Ray Dalio gets it right.  The rating agencies excuse or explanation for why the US still has an investment grade credit rating is that a country with a printing press can never default because it can just print enough money out of thin air to pay interest on its bonds, and it can do that forever.  

So, it’s triple A credit, which does not make any sense at all because if you just print a lot of money out of thin air to pay your debts, then your currency goes down in value, and you are paying back your creditors with depreciating currency, which is a form of default. 

The credit rating agencies are only looking at one kind of default where we just stop paying.  They are not looking at paying with cheaper currency year after year, and we stiff our creditors that way. 

 That’s why you don’t want to own Treasury bonds.  They are not going to stop paying interest, but the interest will not cover inflation going forward.  So, you will have a net real loss until they just crater, and then you will have a massive capital loss.”

On top of that, interest rates have been rising and not falling.  The 30-year mortgage rate is now just under 7% again.  Rubino says, “We went back up to unsustainable interest rates really quickly. . . . The Fed has promised a couple of rate cuts this year, and for interest rates to go up while the Fed is inferring easing means we are risking losing control of the financial markets. 

If the Fed can’t control interest rates, we are monumentally screwed as a financial system.  That’s kind of what we are headed for now.  In the US, interest rates are going back up, but if you want to look at an extreme case, look at Japan.  They don’t just have 30-year bonds, they have 40-year and 50-year bonds and those are cratering, which is to say the interest rates on those bonds are spiking.

  Long term Japanese bonds used to be 0%.  Now, they are 3% and change. . . . That change is huge.  So, Japan, the US, Europe, the UK and China, all of these big countries are basically making the same mistakes, and they are all headed in the same direction. 

We are in the early stage of a currency death spiral where interest rates start to go up and the government can’t control that and then their debt goes parabolic . . . and this goes until everything breaks down.  We are in the third inning of that game, and the last couple of innings are going to be hair raising.  There are going to be currency crises, which we have never seen in our lifetimes. . . . It will be fun times if you are a gold bug.”

Rubino thinks gold will go up in price way over $10,000 per ounce, and he also expects silver to take off too.  Rubino says, “Silver is a great story because it is an industrial metal that is in deficit.  Industrial uses are taking more silver off the markets than what they are producing, and that is going to lead to a shortage.  Even if you don’t look at silver as a monetary metal, the industrial demand makes it a buy right now.”

There is much more in the 46-minute interview.

Central Bank: A Comprehensive Five-Pronged Plan To Combat Money Laundering

Banks  Economy News – Baghdad  The Central Bank announced on Thursday that it has put in place preventative measures to combat money laundering across various sectors, while noting that there is international cooperation at the strategic level involving international organizations.

Hussein Ali, Deputy Director General of the Central Bank's Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism Office, said, "The crime of money laundering is linked to the extent of the predicate crime being committed domestically, as well as to the extent of preventative measures taken by the state."

He explained that, "Based on a comprehensive assessment of the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing system, weaknesses in this system were identified, where they are being exploited, which sectors are being exploited in money laundering, and which predicate crimes are most commonly committed."

He added, "After identifying these crimes and the points where money laundering occurs, mitigating measures were put in place to address the risks of money laundering through these sectors."

He continued, "Easing measures have been put in place in the real estate sector, with real estate sales being conducted through the banking sector. Special measures have also been put in place in the gold sector, with financial institutions enforcing stricter controls on gold transfers."

He pointed out that "electronic cards, which were exploited by some unscrupulous individuals for foreign withdrawals, were used to benefit from the exchange rate or to move illegal funds. This phenomenon has been curbed and mitigated by establishing controls and updating the limits on these cards so that they are no longer useful to those who make foreign withdrawals."

He emphasized that "all these treatments are based on a real evaluation process with very precise results, which helped ensure that the treatments were specific and focused."

He noted that "the Anti-Money Laundering Law addresses all these sectors, and there are international and national studies that identify new trends pursued by money launderers. Every time a new method is added, countries implement preventative measures for it."

He explained that "one of the methods also includes registering fake companies, and there are procedures in place for this in cooperation with the Companies Registration Department, including the process of identifying the real beneficiary of these companies, which is a very important matter to prevent the use of front companies for these companies."

He pointed out that "the Iraqi state took appropriate measures, and even when it was evaluated by the Financial Action Task Force, the evaluation result regarding the beneficial owner issue was appropriate for Iraq's situation."

He pointed out that "all measures taken are based on a risk-based approach, so that when there are risks, measures are taken to address them, while private transactions involving citizens are not complicated."

He emphasized that "all countries in the world cooperate in the field of combating money laundering through multiple channels, and in the Anti-Money Laundering Office we have counterpart offices called counterpart units."

He explained that "information is exchanged with these units without any conditions, and without the involvement of diplomatic bodies such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the intelligence service."

He stated that "there is international cooperation at the strategic level through reports and through our participation in relevant international organizations," noting that "regarding our work, we conduct an investigation, and after completing the file, it is referred to the judiciary, and we say that this person carried out a money laundering operation, and took out the funds of such-and-such state, and this money reached such-and-such a value, and is present in such-and-such accounts, and after that, there is official judicial cooperation from one judiciary to another for the purpose of seizing and confiscating the funds."  https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=55722

The workshop was moderated by the Association of Banks' advisor, Samir Al-Nusairi, who spoke about the objectives of regulatory standards for capital adequacy in accordance with the requirements of the Basel Committee's second pillar to secure a capital buffer to mitigate risks. He emphasized the need to strengthen and improve corporate governance in banks based on the Environmental and Social Standards Guide issued in 2024.

He pointed out that the comprehensive banking reform project, which the Central Bank is working to implement in cooperation with the global consulting firm Oliver Wyman, is sponsored and supported by the government.

Central Bank representatives Ali Abdul Aziz and Hussein Reda spoke about the details of the regulations and tasks required of banks, as well as the procedures and timelines required to implement the regulations over the coming year.

The attendees discussed the regulations and observations that required clarification and answers from the Central Bank. These were answered by Central Bank representatives. At the conclusion of the workshop, it was decided to form a permanent joint working group between the Central Bank and the banks to follow up on implementation and address any obstacles that may hinder implementation.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

XRP LEDGER BREAKS GROUND WITH ITS FIRST MICA-REGULATED EURO STABLECOIN

Schuman Financial’s EURØP has officially become the first euro-denominated stablecoin to satisfy the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regime—while launching natively on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

Launched from Paris on 22 May, this historic development ties MiCA-grade legal certainty to a blockchain that has already processed over 3.3 billion transactions in its 12-year existence.

“EURØP on the XRPL combines the resilience of a global blockchain with euro-native liquidity and compliance at its core,” said Martin Bruncko, founder and CEO of Schuman Financial. “This will give Europe and euro-denominated financial markets an integral infrastructure for the next wave of financial innovation, which is happening on-chain.”

XRP Ledger And Why MiCA Status Matters

MiCA’s stablecoin provisions, which govern e-money tokens (EMTs) like EURØP, came into effect on 30 June 2024. These rules demand:

• Full 1:1 fiat backing

• Daily redeemability

• Bankruptcy-remote reserves

• Authorization by an EU regulator

Schuman Financial is licensed by the French ACPR as an EMT issuer. Its reserves are audited by KPMG and held at Société Générale and other top-tier banks.

While only a few issuers—Circle’s USDC and EURC, Société Générale’s EURCV, and about a dozen niche firms—have cleared MiCA’s high bar, EURØP is the first to do so on the XRP Ledger.

Historically, XRPL’s native DEX, rapid finality, and low fees made it a stronghold for IOU-based fiat tokens. However, EURØP now brings a fully MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin to that ecosystem for the first time.

The Strategic Importance of EURØP

Euro stablecoins currently make up just 0.15% of the $232 billion global stablecoin market—about $338 million as of April 2025. Still, they are now a strategic priority for European banks and fintechs, thanks to MiCA’s passportable legal framework.

For payment firms and corporate treasurers, EURØP delivers:

• Programmable settlement

• Transfers in 3–5 seconds

• Transaction costs of a fraction of a cent

• Full EU regulatory compliance

According to Schuman Financial, EURØP will support:

• DeFi lending pools

• Automated foreign-exchange corridors

• On-chain euro legs for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs)

These use cases align with MiCA’s framework—especially when firms file for a “significant” EMT designation with the European Banking Authority.

“The launch of EURØP on the XRP Ledger demonstrates how stablecoins can meet the high standards set by MiCA while unlocking new possibilities for on-chain payments and RWA tokenization,” said Cassie Craddock, Ripple’s Managing Director for UK & Europe.

SENATORS PLAN TO AMEND GENIUS ACT TO ADDRESS TRUMP FAMILY'S STABLECOIN

Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, and Jeff Merkley, are preparing to introduce an amendment to the GENIUS Act aimed at blocking U.S. presidents from profiting from stablecoins, in direct response to the Trump family’s involvement in crypto.

On May 20, the Senate voted to advance the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act)—after failing a procedural vote on May 8. The new amendment is designed to add anti-corruption guardrails, especially in light of Trump’s ties to the stablecoin USD1 and the crypto platform World Liberty Financial (WLFI).

“Passing the GENIUS Act without our anti-corruption amendment stamps a Congressional seal of approval on Trump selling access and influence to the highest bidder,” said Senator Jeff Merkley on X (May 22).

Trump Family Crypto Ties Under Fire

Trump and his three sons are linked to World Liberty Financial, which launched the USD1 stablecoin in March. Critics argue that Trump stands to personally benefit from legislation recognizing such stablecoins as official financial instruments.

A $2-billion investment in Binance, funded by an Abu Dhabi-based firm using USD1, could potentially generate profits for the Trump family via transaction fees.

While WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff dismissed the allegations as “flawed,” Democratic lawmakers have called for investigations into these potential conflicts of interest.

More Than Just Stablecoins: The Memecoin Dinner Backlash

Democrats also took aim at a separate controversy: a private dinner hosted by Trump at his golf club on May 22 for up to 220 top holders of his personal memecoin.

• Senators Merkley and Warren, alongside Senator Chris Murphy and Public Citizen, held a press conference and are demanding Trump release the dinner guest list.

• Progressive advocacy group Our Revolution joined Public Citizen in protesting the event.

 “What is happening tonight — this private, secret dinner — in which individuals who have put money in Donald Trump’s pocket, get access to him, is maybe the most corrupt of all the corruption,” said Senator Chris Murphy.

Murphy further alleged the attendees could be buying access to influence national security policy—especially as many of them remain anonymous and some are reportedly foreign nationals.

📝 The proposed amendment to the GENIUS Act represents a major push to regulate not only stablecoins but also potential political conflicts arising from crypto adoption at the highest levels of U.S. government.
