RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 26 June 2025

Compiled Thurs. 26 June 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Wed. 25 June 2025: A global change has begun, but only behind closed doors and with the help of coordinated military forces. …Gesara Nesara on Telegram

A historic treaty has (allegedly) been signed by 209 countries to change the way the world does business. This isn’t a theory or a far-off dream; it’s happening right now. A full revaluation of the currency is (allegedly) happening, and a military operation is helping to make sure the transition to a sovereign monetary system is safe and smooth. What is the point? To bring back fairness, open up opportunities for growth, and break the centuries-old hold of centralized control over the world economy.

The currencies that have been kept low for a long time, such as the Iraqi Dinar, Vietnamese Dong, and Zimbabwe ZIM, are(allegedly)  being given new values that show their true worth. This change makes the world a fairer place and makes sure that countries that were once ignored are now on the same level as the world’s financial powers. The Prosperity Fund is a huge, pre-secured pool of money that will be used to pay for humanitarian missions, rebuild infrastructure that was damaged in war, and redistribute wealth around the world. Schools, hospitals, and clean water systems are no longer just dreams for the farthest corners of the Earth. They are fully funded realities, with the signatures of 209 independent states behind them.

This isn’t just about money. It’s about fairness. The “Share the Wealth” program makes sure that everyone benefits directly from this change. No country is left out. No one is left out. This plan includes the Stellar Network, which gives billions of people who have been denied access to banking. Now, remote villages, rural settlements, and forgotten communities are all connected to the world’s most advanced financial infrastructure, which is safe from hacking and other forms of manipulation.

The main thing that has changed is military precision. The revaluation (RV) process is(allegedly)  not being left to chance. Allied military units have been sent around the world to protect data centers, currency exchanges, and the safe distribution of new value systems. These operations include simulations, cyber-defense protocols, and working with other countries’ treasuries to make sure everything is clear and there is no fraud. The goal is clear: keep the transition going smoothly, avoid a crash, and safely lead the world into a new financial reality.

The outcome is a financial order that comes after the cabal. A world where a country’s worth isn’t based on who owns its debt, but on its people, resources, and goals. The Dinar’s new value will help Iraq grow. Vietnam’s newly balanced Dong will make it an economic leader in Asia. Zimbabwe is ready to grow its agricultural and mineral wealth now that the ZIM has been restored and inflation and globalist sabotage are no longer a problem. These aren’t guesses. These are actions that are already happening, signed, sealed, and now happening with military help.

This isn’t the future. This is the present. A treaty has(allegedly)  been signed. A plan is being put into action. The big change in finance is real, and it belongs to the people. Each person. Each soul. The system that used to enslave the world with debt and inequality is being replaced by one based on honesty, fairness, and plenty. Have faith in the plan. The revaluation is more than just a currency event. It’s a wake-up call for the whole world.

Mnt Goat  I was told this situation [with Iran] needs to be resolved in one of two ways or a bit of both:  1.  change the regime in Iran  2.  institute banking reforms to cut off the dollars from Iran (already seen this action mostly implemented)...I am told the U.S. absolutely WILL NOT allow the reinstatement of the dinar while this Iranian situation continues. Let’s only pray this ends soon.

Militia Man  A lot of turmoil and it's been going on for...a couple years...The Middle East is very volatile...but...even during the turmoil you're seeing Iraq has been stable and staying out of the conflict which is really good...Even though this tension has been going for weeks Iraq has still maintained that she's opening for business...stable... has all the components for her economy to keep moving forward.  That still holds true today...

Thursday Coffee with MarkZ. 06/26/2025

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 Morning one and all.

Member: The song lyrics "What Are We Waiting For" has played in my head these last few days

Member: Welcome home Mark- Any good RV or bond news today?

MZ: I have 2 bond contacts that I know personally and another that say they have been issued “traveling dollars” . They were told weeks ago to be prepared to travel as soon as they received those funds. They had been waiting for those funds and just received them…so for me….this is a good sign. I wish I knew what it meant for timing.

MZ: One of those sources started traveling today to get to their exchange location.

Member: Any news from bonds in Reno?

MZ: I do not have any news on bonds from Reno. Most of the bond news right now is coming from Europe, Asia and South America.

Member: will the war with Iran affect the RV?

MZ: I was told this war would affect the RV positively and it is now “off stuck”

Member: "The Prime Minister directs the acceleration of financing and disbursement of investment project dues." - (Not @ $1310!)

MZ: “ Sudanese advisor: The ceasefire agreement was a temporary relief for oil markets” oil prices right now are in the mid to upper 60’s. that’s what is needed for the Iraqi budget. The biggest markets in the world believe peace is holding in the middle east.

MZ: “Iraq faces a “Golden opportunity” after regional calm: Does he invest it?” this lays out all that Iraq stands to gain after this cease fire and peace in the region…... They mention this leads to “stability in the dinar rate” and that all they could gain with “enhancing exchange rates”

MZ: My contacts in Iraq told me the new legislative session happens in July and that there will be a new value on the dinar before that session starts. That is their expectation and fits with the other chatter we are hearing from the bond side and currency side.

MZ: Most of the chatter is for around July 1st…..we will see.

Member: July 1st is the deadline for all the banks worldwide to use Basel 3 laws. Maybe that is significant for the RV?

Member: And Iso2022 laws take affect around July 14th?   Big month for bank changes.

Member: Will you still post the 1-800. numbers for redemption centers?

Member: Mark said often that he will post everything he is allowed to post for us. So will all the dinar sites and other gurus……we won’t miss it.

Member: Friday is Islamic New Year. It's also on Friday, so there are no additional days off. Sunday, back to work.

Member: Praying they release RV by July 4th

Member: An RV for the 4th would be glorious and perfect time to enjoy fireworks

Member:  Happy Birthday to those celebrating and prayers for those in need

Member: Stay positive and stay safe……enjoy your day RV friends.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Morning 6-26-25

With The Stability Trilogy, Monetary Policy Tames Inflation And Protects Citizens' Pockets.

Time: 2025/06/25 10:54:42 Reading: 795 times   {Economic: Al Furat News} The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed that the monetary policy, whose objectives under the Iraqi Central Bank Law No. 56 of 2004 include reducing the growth in inflation rates to a stable path.

Speaking to Al Furat News Agency, he pointed out that "this policy was able to control demand levels and additional spending power in the economy, by sterilizing local liquidity by providing foreign currency at a stable official exchange rate for the dinar not exceeding 1,320 dinars per dollar, and on a scale that led to weakening the effects of the parallel market and reducing it to financing the country's foreign trade."

Saleh explained that "this came as a result of the cancellation of the foreign currency window at the beginning of this year and the adoption of the principle of foreign exchange bolstering to finance the country's foreign trade, praising the successes of this shift in terms of financing speed and compliance."

He added, "The success of the price defense policy adopted by the trade policy contributed to the remarkable spread of central markets in cooperation with the private sector, which reflected in the price moderation of these market components in a competitive manner, ensuring the stability of essential goods for citizens and others."

He explained that "the three policies, in combination, have had a positive impact on economic policy in promoting stability in citizens' cash income, with remarkable success over the past two years, as annual inflation growth did not exceed 3%, which is within the normal acceptable range for estimating annual price base growth in the country."  LINK

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

U.S. Regulator Orders Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac to Consider Crypto in Mortgage Risk Assessments
By Cointelegraph | June 2025

In a major development for crypto adoption in real estate, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to begin evaluating cryptocurrency as an asset class in their single-family mortgage loan risk assessments.

Crypto Assets May Soon Count Toward Mortgage Applications

FHFA Director William J. Pulte issued the directive in a formal letter this week, stating the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) must:

“Prepare a proposal for consideration of cryptocurrency as an asset for reserves in their respective single-family mortgage loan risk assessments, without conversion of said cryptocurrency to U.S. dollars.”

This marks the first time U.S. housing authorities have opened the door to counting crypto holdings as qualifying assets for mortgage applications, a move that could reshape risk models and eligibility standards for millions of Americans.

Eligibility Limited to Regulated Crypto Holdings

The guidance includes a critical restriction:
Only cryptocurrencies that are:

▪️ Evidenced and stored on U.S.-regulated centralized exchanges
▪️ Subject to all applicable federal laws and compliance standards

will be considered under the new proposal.

This standard excludes unhosted wallets and decentralized platforms, underscoring regulators’ desire for traceability and compliance within the financial system.

Aligns With Trump Administration’s Pro-Crypto Agenda

Director Pulte noted that the shift toward crypto inclusion follows “significant studying” by the agency and aligns with Donald Trump’s stated goal of making the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.”

The FHFA has been overseeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since both were placed into conservatorship following the 2008 financial crisis. These institutions have since played a central role in stabilizing the mortgage market by buying loans from private lenders, which frees up capital for more lending.

Part of a Broader Crypto Integration Trend

This development is just the latest sign of crypto gaining traction in traditional finance. Recent headlines include:

▪️ JPMorgan’s plans to let select wealth clients use Bitcoin ETFs as collateral
▪️ Circle’s USDC stablecoin being approved as eligible collateral for futures trading starting next year
▪️ Crypto-backed mortgages becoming more common, with firms like Ledn enabling clients to leverage Bitcoin and Ether to purchase real estate without liquidating holdings

“Many Bitcoin holders have already used their digital assets as collateral to purchase property,” said Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, co-founder of Ledn.

Bottom Line:

The FHFA’s crypto guidance for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac marks a pivotal turning point. If implemented, it could allow crypto-savvy borrowers to leverage their digital assets directly for homeownership, without having to convert to cash—a key win for holders, and another step toward mainstream crypto integration.

Russia Declares Digital Ruble Mandatory for Major Banks and Retailers
By The Coin Tribune | June 2025

Russia is no longer testing its central bank digital currency (CBDC)—it is mandating it. In a sweeping shift, Moscow has ordered that the digital ruble become a compulsory component of its financial and commercial infrastructure, marking a new era of centralized monetary control and programmable currency.

Key Directives:

▪️ By September 1, 2026, all major Russian banks and retailers generating over 120 million rubles (~$1.9 million USD) must support digital ruble payments.
▪️ Full implementation by 2028, eventually reaching nearly all businesses.
▪️ Goal: Strengthen state control over domestic financial flows and reduce reliance on foreign payment systems.

From Pilot to Policy: A Tectonic Monetary Shift

What began as a controlled experiment is now a national directive. The Bank of Russia has released a structured rollout plan:

• 2026: Largest banks and high-revenue retailers begin integration.

• 2027: Obligations expand to all licensed banks and businesses with revenue above 30 million rubles.

• 2028: Mandatory use reaches nearly the entire commercial sector, excluding only very small enterprises.

Russia’s plan to shift its entire economic infrastructure toward the digital ruble reflects not just a technical evolution, but a political statement. The digital currency is not merely a payment tool—it’s a state-controlled, programmable financial system that could track, restrict, or block transactions in real time.

“The obligation is clear, calibrated, progressive, and relentless.”

A Tool of Power—Not Just Progress

This move is as ideological as it is economic. In the face of Western sanctions, Moscow sees the digital ruble as a pathway to financial sovereignty and geopolitical insulation. But critics warn it comes at a steep cost:

▪️ Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, the digital ruble is traceable, programmable, and blockable.
▪️ It offers the state unprecedented control over private financial behavior.
▪️ Universal QR codes issued by Russia’s National Payment Card System will serve as the primary interface for consumers and merchants.

Though officials cite efficiency and modernization, the real power lies in surveillance and regulation—a far cry from the decentralization ethos of blockchain technology.

Delayed Launch, Strategic Calculations

Originally scheduled for July 2025, the launch has been postponed to mid-2026, not only due to technical adjustments but to manage institutional resistance and political friction. The central bank is walking a fine line between ensuring adoption and avoiding systemic disruption.

Bottom Line:

Russia is embarking on one of the world’s most ambitious national CBDC rollouts—not by suggestion, but by decree. This isn't just about embracing digital currency; it's about building a monetary firewall, one that empowers the state and potentially restricts individual freedom.

As the digital ruble becomes mandatory, Russia is redefining the role of money in society—and raising questions globally about the future of financial autonomy in an era of programmable currency.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday Morning 6-26-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Central Bank: Iraq's foreign exchange reserves are sufficient to cover 13 months of imports.

 The Central Bank revealed on Wednesday that Iraq's foreign currency reserves are sufficient to cover 13 months of imports.

The bank said in a report seen by Shafaq News Agency that "import coverage is often viewed as a measure of the number of months that imports could be sustained if all foreign currency inflows were to cease," noting that "the global standard used is for reserves to cover all imports for a period of six months."

He added, "The ratio of foreign reserves to imports has decreased from 16 months at the beginning of 2024 to 13 months at the beginning of 2025," indicating that "despite the decrease in the ratio, Iraq's reserves will still cover imports for 13 months if Iraq does not receive foreign currency revenues." link

Tishwash:  Half a year without an actual budget... Where have the government's plans gone

Amid the financial and economic challenges facing the country, the 2025 budget file continues to stir controversy within political and parliamentary circles, amid a state of anticipation and growing public concern.

Despite more than half a year having passed since the start of the fiscal year, the budget schedules remain absent from the halls of Parliament, reflecting a state of government confusion and a lack of seriousness in dealing with one of the country's most important financial and strategic issues. This delay comes at a time when the Iraqi public is witnessing increasing pressure to improve services, implement stalled projects, and meet citizens' basic needs.

 Meanwhile, the ambiguity surrounding the date for submitting the schedules is paralyzing the legislative and oversight process concerned with setting priorities and ensuring the fair and efficient distribution of resources.

* Violation of laws
and regarding this issue, member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Hussein Mounes, confirmed that the government is still not serious about sending the budget tables to the House of Representatives. 

In an interview with Al-Maalouma News Agency, Mounes said, “The government violated the Financial Management Law by delaying the submission of the 2025 general budget schedules, considering this a disregard for the role of the House of Representatives and its oversight and legislative work.”

He added, "The Iraqi government is not serious about sending the tables to the House of Representatives, expressing his surprise at the government's failure to send the budget law tables to the House, despite six months having passed since the start of the fiscal year."  link

**************

Tishwash:  Masrour Barzani: Baghdad will send a delegation to the Kurdistan Region to resolve the salary issue.

Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani announced on Wednesday that the crisis of halting funding for salaries of public sector employees in the region is on its way to being resolved, and that he had communicated with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zidan, and Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani in this regard.

This came during a press conference held today in Erbil, where Masrour Barzani addressed the conflict in the region, saying, "The announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran is in the interest of all countries in the region, and we hope it will be a step toward restoring peace and stability throughout the region."

He added, "We in the Kurdistan Region have done our best to stay out of this war and chaos, and we must express our gratitude to Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who has sought to spare Iraq from entering this conflict."

Regarding the issue of salaries, the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region stated, "For the past two months, the salaries of Kurdistan Region employees have not been paid legally, which is considered an unconstitutional measure. We believe it is unacceptable to link the salaries of Kurdistan Region employees to any political dispute or conflict."

He stressed that "we will not give up any constitutional right of the people of the Kurdistan Region in any way, and we will continue to defend it," adding that "during the past period, there was not a day when we were not busy searching for a solution to this crisis."

Masrour Barzani continued, "We have been in contact with officials. Yesterday, I spoke with the head of the Supreme Judicial Council and the prime minister, and I assured them that we are keen to move towards resolving this crisis. They welcomed this and announced their readiness to send a delegation within the next two days to address the salary issue."

The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government spoke about the suspension of Kurdistan's oil exports, saying that because of this, "the Iraqi economy and the Kurdistan Region's economy have incurred losses exceeding $25 billion, and to date, the federal government has not compensated the citizens of the Kurdistan Region for these losses."

He stressed that "to resume Kurdistan's oil exports, an agreement must be reached with all parties, especially with the oil companies operating in the region, which are demanding guarantees for extraction costs."

Masrour Barzani continued, "We were waiting for a ruling from the Federal Supreme Court in Iraq that would benefit the salaries of Kurdistan Region employees, but the court was dissolved with the resignation of a number of members. Now we are pinning our hopes on the Supreme Judicial Council in Iraq to resolve the salaries issue."

The KRG Prime Minister continued, "If an agreement is not reached with the Iraqi government to resolve the salary issue, we will resort to internal revenues, reducing expenses, or any other means possible to secure the financial rights owed to the people of the Kurdistan Region, according to our capabilities." He added, "However, I am optimistic about reaching a radical solution with the federal government on this matter."  link

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Wednesday Afternoon 6-25-25

The IMF Mission Commends The Central Bank Of Iraq.
 
June 25, 2025   The International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission, led by Jean-Guillaume Poulain, which   met with the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) from May 4 to 13, 2025, commended the CBI's work in several areas. It confirmed that the CBI has made progress in absorbing excess liquidity by  increasing the issuance of short-term debt instruments  (CBI drafts and  Islamic certificates of deposit), adjusting subscription limits for banks in CBI auctions, and  improving liquidity forecasting tools and practices.

The statement issued by the International Monetary Fund stated that the mission commended the efforts of the Central Bank of Iraq to successfully transition to the new trade finance system, indicating that commercial banks now process trade finance transactions entirely through their relationships with correspondent banks.

The Central Bank of Iraq has achieved significant progress by transitioning to the new system for financing foreign trade through correspondent banking channels,  instead of relying on the daily dollar auction.
 
This development has contributed to enhancing banks' compliance with international transparency requirements, such as
     OFAC regulations and others, and  improving their relationships with global correspondent banks.
 
This step has resulted in
     narrowing the gap between the official dollar price and its parallel price, indicating relative success in
     curbing illegal speculation and
     reducing currency leakage.
 
The foreign exchange management methodology has become more effective compared to the past,
especially with the  Central Bank of Iraq continuing to take complementary measures, such as requiring traders to submit genuine import invoices and  simplifying procedures for obtaining hard currency for legitimate importers.
 
In parallel, the mission welcomed the   progress made in the use of digital technology and the  Iraqi authorities' intention to implement a comprehensive reform of the banking sector, calling for its completion to be accelerated without delay.
 
The Iraqi government,   with technical support from the International Monetary Fund and other international bodies, has begun implementing initial steps to reform government banks, including
          auditing the quality of assets,
          estimating the size of non-performing loans, and
          developing a draft plan to restructure the two largest government banks (Rafidain and Rashid) financially and administratively.
 
The Iraqi financial sector has also witnessed an  increasing trend towards digitization and the adoption of modern financial technology, whether in   electronic payment services or the launch of   banking platforms via the Internet and mobile phones. 

The International Monetary Fund believes that these
     technical improvements, along with
     steps to enhance cybersecurity in banks,
     promote financial inclusion,
     expand private banking activity, and
     restructure government banks,
 
will
     enhance the efficiency of financial services and
     increase foreign correspondents' confidence in the Iraqi banking sector.

The report also noted the
     expansion of private banks' activity in trade finance and small business financing, with expectations of
     further increases if obstacles are removed.
 
Initiatives to
     enhance financial inclusion,
     modernize electronic payment systems, and
     reduce reliance on cash in the economy

An Economist Points To A Decline In Liquidity And The Loss Of Thousands Of Jobs In Iraq. 
  
Economy     2025-06-25 |Source: Alsumaria News     3,726 views   Alsumaria News - Economist Ahmed Abdul Rabbah revealed on Wednesday the reasons behind the ban on a number of local Iraqi banks from receiving foreign transfers. He emphasized that the continued ban on 32 Iraqi banks from dealing in dollars not only   leads to a decline in liquidity but also  threatens the loss of thousands of jobs at these banks.
 
Ahmed Abdul Rabbo told Sumaria News that the  banks operating in the country that handle remittances are Iraqi in terms of registration and establishment, but some of these banks hold majority ownership stakes in foreign investors,  which gives them advantages over local banks.
 
The economic expert attributes the deprivation of a number of local banks from foreign transfers to
     their lack of banking relationships with global correspondent banks such as JP Morgan and Citibank,
     unlike banks owned by foreign investors, which maintain extensive correspondent banking networks. 

He pointed out that those banks in which foreigners hold significant stakes continue to dominate the remittance sector,  benefiting from their global network of relationships.  He explained,
 
"I find it essential for the Central Bank of Iraq to diversify the basket of currencies used in emittances by adopting alternative currencies such as the  Emirati dirham, the Chinese yuan, and the  euro.
 
I also call on the Central Bank to   guarantee a number of Iraqi banks that adhere to international standards, in order to   facilitate the opening of accounts for them with international banks    such as Citibank and JPMorgan." 

He added that the  US sanctions imposed on 32 Iraqi banks remain, in his view, unjust and illogical, as they      disrupt the structure of the banking system,     negatively impact opportunities for competition and growth,     limit the liquidity of these banks, and     leave them vulnerable to bankruptcy. 

The continued ban on dollar transactions for 32 Iraqi banks not only  leads to a decline in liquidity, according to the expert, but also  threatens the loss of thousands of jobs at these banks, whether they have been closed or restricted in their operations. It also   deepens the crisis of confidence in these banks as intermediary institutions.
 
This situation has forced many companies and individuals to deal only with "dominant" banks, reducing the opportunities for local banks in the market.
 
The economic expert noted that  if
     reform efforts continue and   international standards are fairly applied,we may witness a real   decline in the role of the black market and a  gradual return of committed local banks to competition on a more equitable basis.

The United States now faces the prospect of foreign nations repatriating $245 billion worth of gold. Countries around the world are sending America a big message. Remember this if you see negative press on gold in the main stream media.

BREAKING NEWS: THE CUSTODIANS OF TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF GLOBAL CENTRAL BANK RESERVES ARE EYEING A MOVE AWAY FROM THE GREENBACK INTO GOLD ACCORDING TO THE OMFIF

Just wow. @judyshel

The interest payments on US debt = 3% of the United States GDP.

Judy Shelton:  Powell asked if he is worried about high cost of financing U.S. national debt? No comment, he pleads, because that would be commenting on a fiscal matter.

If the head of the Federal Reserve can’t grasp how monetary policy helps enable the national debt in America… You have a problem.

Germany and Italy hold the world’s second and third-largest gold reserves, right behind the United States, and they are making moves to repatriate it. Meanwhile, we all know China owns more than they disclose. The U.S? They keep promising to audit Fort Knox. The stage is set.

As @LukeGromen points out, why are central banks suddenly so vocal about piling into gold and easing away from the dollar? The de-dollarization trend has been quietly rolling for years, with gold at its heart. It was initially mocked because physical gold is the one thing the West can’t print or sanction. That represents a threat to the current system.

1971: The U.S. ditched gold tied directly to the system because it couldn’t cover its promises.

2025: The promises are bigger, and the creditors are watching.

Gold Telegraph:  President Nixon “temporarily” suspended the gold standard in 1971 because the U.S. couldn’t cover foreign dollar claims. Today, The U.S. holds just over $800 billion in gold, which has NOT been audited, but owes over $7 trillion to foreign creditors. Just think about this for a second.

Some “Iraq International News” Posted by Clare at KTFA 6-25-2025

KTFA:

Clare:  IMF: Iraq has made progress in transitioning to a new system for financing foreign trade.

6/25/2025

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission considered that the Central Bank of Iraq has achieved "significant progress" by transitioning to a new system for financing foreign trade.

A statement issued by the bank quoted the mission as confirming that "the Central Bank of Iraq has made progress in absorbing excess liquidity by increasing the issuance of short-term debt instruments (central bank transfers and Islamic certificates of deposit), adjusting subscription limits for banks in central bank auctions, and improving liquidity forecasting tools and practices."

The statement added, "The mission commended the Central Bank of Iraq's efforts to successfully transition to the new trade finance system," noting that commercial banks now process trade finance transactions entirely through their relationships with correspondent banks.

According to the mission, "the Central Bank of Iraq has made significant progress by transitioning to a new system for financing foreign trade through correspondent banking channels, instead of relying on the daily dollar auction."

According to the statement, the mission indicated that "this development has contributed to enhancing banks' compliance with international transparency requirements, such as OFAC regulations and others, and improving their relationships with global correspondent banks."

The statement added that this step resulted in narrowing the gap between the official dollar exchange rate and its parallel exchange rate, indicating relative success in curbing illegal speculation and reducing currency leakage.

The statement continued, citing the IMF mission, that "the methodology for managing foreign exchange has become more effective than before, especially with the Central Bank of Iraq continuing to implement complementary measures such as requiring traders to submit genuine import invoices and simplifying procedures for obtaining hard currency for legitimate importers."   LINK

Clare:  The IMF mission commends the Central Bank of Iraq.

June 25, 2025

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission, led by Jean-Guillaume Poulain, which met with the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) from May 4 to 13, 2025, commended the CBI's work in several areas. It confirmed that the CBI has made progress in absorbing excess liquidity by increasing the issuance of short-term debt instruments (CBI drafts and Islamic certificates of deposit), adjusting subscription limits for banks in CBI auctions, and improving liquidity forecasting tools and practices.

The statement issued by the International Monetary Fund stated that the mission commended the efforts of the Central Bank of Iraq to successfully transition to the new trade finance system, indicating that commercial banks now process trade finance transactions entirely through their relationships with correspondent banks.

The Central Bank of Iraq has achieved significant progress by transitioning to the new system for financing foreign trade through correspondent banking channels, instead of relying on the daily dollar auction. This development has contributed to enhancing banks' compliance with international transparency requirements, such as OFAC regulations and others, and improving their relationships with global correspondent banks.

This step has resulted in narrowing the gap between the official dollar price and its parallel price, indicating relative success in curbing illegal speculation and reducing currency leakage. The foreign exchange management methodology has become more effective compared to the past, especially with the Central Bank of Iraq continuing to take complementary measures, such as requiring traders to submit genuine import invoices and simplifying procedures for obtaining hard currency for legitimate importers.

In parallel, the mission welcomed the progress made in the use of digital technology and the Iraqi authorities' intention to implement a comprehensive reform of the banking sector, calling for its completion to be accelerated without delay.

The Iraqi government, with technical support from the International Monetary Fund and other international bodies, has begun implementing initial steps to reform government banks, including auditing the quality of assets, estimating the size of non-performing loans, and developing a draft plan to restructure the two largest government banks (Rafidain and Rashid) financially and administratively.

The Iraqi financial sector has also witnessed an increasing trend towards digitization and the adoption of modern financial technology, whether in electronic payment services or the launch of banking platforms via the Internet and mobile phones.

The International Monetary Fund believes that these technical improvements, along with steps to enhance cybersecurity in banks, promote financial inclusion, expand private banking activity, and restructure government banks, will enhance the efficiency of financial services and increase foreign correspondents' confidence in the Iraqi banking sector.

The report also noted the expansion of private banks' activity in trade finance and small business financing, with expectations of further increases if obstacles are removed. Initiatives to enhance financial inclusion, modernize electronic payment systems, and reduce reliance on cash in the economy are also crucial to strengthening banking depth. The Central Bank of Iraq launched a national financial inclusion strategy during the first half of 2025.

The report also included important recommendations to enhance financial stability and facilitate the transfer of monetary policy effects to the real sector, including: reducing the phenomenon of dollarization, in which Iraq has made significant progress over the past two years; the importance of accelerating the completion of the comprehensive restructuring plan for banks to enhance their solvency; the importance of strengthening corporate governance for banks, developing digital infrastructure and cybersecurity for the financial sector; strengthening the role of private banks in financing economic development; and continuing to improve anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing procedures.

 It is also important for the Central Bank of Iraq to continue increasing the issuance of short-term securities to ensure better management of excess liquidity.

Clare:  Nearly $1 billion in international funding for Iraq to implement a massive transportation project.

6/25/2025

The World Bank announced on Wednesday that it had approved $930 million in financing to improve railway performance in Iraq, boost domestic trade, create jobs, and support economic diversification. The bank confirmed that the project will be completed in 2037 and will include eight Iraqi governorates .

The bank stated in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, "Under this financing, the Iraq Railways Extension and Modernization (IREM) project will modernize the railway infrastructure and services between Umm Qasr Port in southern Iraq and Mosul in northern Iraq, contributing to reducing travel and transportation time, increasing freight volume, as well as improving infrastructure and sustainable transportation services and providing them to users and passengers ."

He added, "The Middle East is witnessing a significant boom in the development of regional railways, which enhances trade routes within the region and with Asia and Europe, and contributes to enhancing connectivity services and driving economic growth in the region. These regional initiatives include the Iraq Development Road , which was announced in May 2023 with the aim of transforming Iraq into a pivotal transportation hub by linking the Gulf region with Iraq, all the way to the Turkish border and from there to Europe ."

The bank also noted that, "Once connectivity to existing ports and infrastructure is enhanced, this route could significantly increase trade flows within Iraq and across the region. Given that Iraq's railway sector suffers from limited connectivity, poor repair and maintenance services, and a lack of funding, investments in the existing railway network are considered an essential first step towards enhancing connectivity at the national and regional levels ."

In this regard, the World Bank's Regional Director for the Middle East, Jean-Christophe Carré, said, according to the statement, "As Iraq transitions from reconstruction to development, enhancing trade and connectivity services can stimulate economic growth, create new job opportunities, and reduce dependence on oil. This project is of great importance in transforming Iraq into a regional transportation hub and achieving the goals of Iraq's development path, which are improving connectivity services, diversifying economic activity, and raising growth rates ."

He stressed that "the project will expand and modernize the railways in Iraq by rehabilitating and modernizing 1,047 kilometers of existing railway lines linking Umm Qasr Port to Mosul via Baghdad, in addition to supporting the modernization of the fleet of locomotives and train cars, renovating the maintenance workshop in Baiji, and purchasing the necessary equipment and spare parts. The project will also work to enhance private sector capital participation in the establishment of dry ports and logistics service centers that provide sustainable, highly skilled job opportunities. The project will also enhance railway safety by implementing a comprehensive safety management system, modernizing infrastructure, improving railway crossings, implementing community awareness campaigns, enhancing emergency preparedness, and training workers ."

 The project will also include technical assistance to improve the institutional performance of the Iraqi General Railway Company, develop an action plan for railway sector reform, and identify opportunities for private sector participation. Additionally, the project will provide training programs for Iraqi General Railway Company employees and support women's participation in the sector, according to the statement .

He stressed that "the Iraqi General Railway Company will implement the project under the supervision of the Ministry of Transport. To support successful and rapid implementation, an international company will be contracted within the framework of the project to manage capital expenditures and support the Iraqi General Railway Company in its efforts to build institutional capacity to manage large capital expenditure programs and manage the implementation of project contract packages.

The project will also prioritize active participation by citizens and local communities, and establish a community-led planning and monitoring mechanism that enables citizens to receive regular updates on progress and express their opinions and feedback on implementation ."

He pointed out that "by 2037, the renovated railway line is expected to transport 6.3 million tons of domestic freight, 1.1 million tons of exports/imports, and 2.85 million passengers, including unpackaged primary commodities (such as grains or construction materials) and containerized goods (such as industrial and consumer goods). The railway will cross eight Iraqi governorates, enhancing integration across the federal Republic of Iraq and benefiting nearly 17 million people ."

The World Bank statement noted that "the project will shift freight traffic from trucks to trains, significantly reducing damage to roads and lowering annual maintenance costs. The project will create more than 3,000 full-time construction jobs over seven years. Once railway operations and sector-wide expansion work commence, the project is expected to create 21,900 jobs annually by 2024. "  LINK

Clare:  Iraq faces a "golden opportunity" following the regional truce. Will it capitalize on it?

6/25/2025

Following the cessation of the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, Iraq has a "golden opportunity" to assume a pivotal role in the region. It can capitalize on the regional calm to reduce tensions, develop a new vision for its national security, and strengthen international and trade relations. This will have an initial impact on the Iraqi economy, according to observers.

However, translating this calm into real economic gains, according to observers, remains contingent on the Iraqi government's ability to accompany it with radical internal reform that ensures the rule of law and frees economic decision-making from the grip of militias. Otherwise, it will be little more than a truce that deprives Iraq of the opportunity to advance.

positive effects

In this context, the Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, said, "Regional calm in the Middle East, particularly among Iraq's neighbors, could have a direct and profound positive impact on the Iraqi economy."

Saleh explained to Shafaq News Agency, "The Gulf states, Turkey, and Iran may increase their investments in Iraq in the areas of infrastructure, energy, transportation, and agriculture, and provide Iraq with the opportunity for stability, especially to implement its geo-economic project, the 'Development Road' project."

He continued, "In addition to attracting Arab and foreign investments to operate in the industrial economic cities linked to the development project, we are working with minimal risk and the highest degree of stability. All of these factors are linked to the degree of stability in regional security and its repercussions on our country."

He asserts that "the more attractive and stable the investment environment becomes for foreign investors, the more costs will decrease as profit opportunities grow."

Saleh points out that "one of the best foreign investment opportunities, in addition to the development path, is competition for joint investment in natural resource sites (except for the oil and gas industry), as this is a promising vital field for investors."

"golden opportunity"

This is also the view expressed by Hussein Al-Sa'bari, the deputy chairman of the parliamentary investment committee, who said, "The regional situation has calmed down following the cessation of the war between Iran and Israel, and relations between Arab and regional states have become closer. Therefore, the Iraqi government must capitalize on this atmosphere to become a hub and a link between the parties, in order to ensure regional development."

Al-Sa'bari told Shafaq News Agency, "The current situation represents an opportunity for political development and international and commercial relations, which requires Iraq to assume its primary role in the region and capitalize on this golden opportunity."

Economic researcher Ahmed Eid agrees with Hussein Al-Saabari, stating that "the regional de-escalation between Iran and Israel presents an opportunity to reduce tensions in the region, which will initially have a positive impact on the Iraqi economy through reduced insurance and transportation costs, improved market sentiment, and relative stability in the dinar exchange rate. It may also contribute to reducing financial pressures on the general budget and boosting temporary investor confidence."

conditional economic gains

However, Eid noted in an interview with Shafaq News Agency that "translating this calm into real economic gains remains contingent on the Iraqi government's ability to accompany it with effective internal reform. External stability is important, but it cannot compensate for the rampant corruption in all Iraqi state institutions, which devours investment opportunities, paralyzes projects, and undermines the business environment."

He continued, "As for an increase in investments or a reduction in financial risks in Iraq as a result of this calm, yes, relatively speaking, but that depends on two factors: the duration of the stability and the extent to which investors are convinced that this calm is not temporary, and the second is the Iraqi government's ability to keep pace with this calm with internal reforms, such as improving the business environment and reducing security and militia interference."

He explains, "If this is achieved, regional calm could reduce Iraq's credit rating risks, thus encouraging some hesitant Gulf, Turkish, or Iranian investments, and enhancing opportunities for debt refinancing or obtaining international loans at lower interest rates."

strategic opportunities

Eid asserts that "Iraq possesses clear strategic opportunities, represented by expanding trade with neighboring countries (Turkey, Iran, and the Gulf), and attracting investments in renewable energy, particularly from European and Gulf companies that are monitoring the situation."

He added, "As well as reviving postponed projects such as the Basra-Turkey railway line or the Grand Faw Port, and utilizing Iraq as a transit corridor between the Gulf and Europe via the 'Development Road' project, and revitalizing the religious tourism sector and attracting visitors from Iran and the Gulf without security concerns."

Accordingly, Eid says, "External political stability is a necessary condition for attracting capital, but it is insufficient unless accompanied by internal reforms that guarantee the rule of law and free economic decision-making from the grip of armed groups. Any regional calm without radical internal reform will be nothing more than a temporary truce that deprives Iraq of the opportunity to rise."

A New Vision for National Security

The regional truce is not limited to economics, as military expert Alaa Al-Nashou explains, "The region is exposed to rapidly evolving events amid regional and international tensions, which requires Iraq to develop a new vision for its national security."

Al-Nashou explained to Shafaq News Agency, "Countries around the world rely on security capabilities, which include intelligence, accurate information, control, command, information security, facilities, and personnel. All of this enhances the country's national security. Therefore, Iraq needs a security vision related to a balanced foreign policy for the sake of common interests, and a rejection of interference and submission to any state."

The military expert asserts that "Iraq must build a future based on real security foundations that are linked to securing Iraqi society by strengthening cooperation with Arab, regional, and international national security."   LINK

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 6-24-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 6-24-25  

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It's Tuesday June 24th - I had to think for a minute, and you're listening to the big call. Thanks for tuning in again tonight. Looking forward to a good call with y'all tonight. Definitely have a lot of information. Can't wait to hear what Sue has for us tonight and what Bob is going to bring. We just we're just ready to roll.

So thank you, Bob. Appreciate that very much. It's excellent. All right, let's get into the Intel a little bit here. Now, here's what has happened, even on Monday, yesterday – we had word that the screens at the redemption centers were up but for only about an hour - and of All the currencies, that we heard about – we got a report on the Iranian Riyal,  wonder what they are going to do with Iran -  because we knew that the currency had come off of the screen a few days prior  - there was Monday  or Tuesday of last week it had come off the screens  with all of the fighting that was going on -  missiles back and forth

Well the rate was up - yesterday  and it was over $3.00 on the Rial  - so that was interesting -  and today we heard from a redemption center leader that said that they had of the 24 different currencies - that we expect to be in the first and only offering – only nine had come up on the redemption center screens  - and they were solid -  they weren't blinking, flashing or whatever, they had solid rates.. Okay. That’s good  9 down  - 15 to go – and that’s about where we stand – they have more that need to populate – more that need to come up

So that's where we are at the redemption centers. And we have heard from about four different sources that are saying almost the same thing, and one of our sources said, come this Thursday, two days from now, we would all have a big smile from ear to ear on our face. We'd be happy. We'd be smiling. Another source said we would be a couple more days. Just wait a couple more days and we would be getting notified.

Another source said we would be the releases would be starting late afternoon, Thursday. Okay, let's define my late afternoon. For me, it's four, five or 6pm when you get into seven o'clock, you're really into the evening. So let's say 4 / 5 / 6, afternoon, Eastern. In this case, we should be getting notifications. All releases come out.

Now, when we say releases, I don't like the word, because it can mean different things. I believe it could mean our notifications, but I hope that's what it means. It can also mean funds being released for bond holders. Our bondholders are hearing that they should have access to their funds Thursday or Friday.

And I think if we can get our 800 number release, the email releases to us, the emails release, we would have numbers Thursday, late afternoon, in time for drum roll, please, the big call celebration call, because we would have a call, you know, Thursday night, two nights from now, we would have a call with an 800 number, and we would make sure everybody has it, and we could celebrate and do a nice, short call. That's what I would hope would happen.

 It's not absolute, but that's what it's pointing to right now, Every major source, and they're not that many that are weighing in. There are, I guess,4 that have come in. They are saying they expect things to happen starting Thursday

 Listen, if we get our numbers Thursday afternoon we set our appointments, you still jump over and catch the big call Thursday night, and you set your appointment for Friday or Saturday, whatever, then we should be off and running -  We're off to the races, as they said, right? That's what I would hope for.

All our currencies back up on the screens. We are in favor of redemption centers because the rates will be better for us. I know this Zim rate is going to be what he said on par with our US dollar, and we've got the contract rate available to us on the Iraqi dinar, and I've told you guys where that is last time we looked it was mid 90s.

 And of course, everything else accordingly -  of course. So that's that's as far as we go on that topic

Let's talk about what's been happening in Iran and Israel and the successful bombing run with our b2 bombers and our cluster bunker busting bombs that were dropped in  etc etc etc , we did it it was a created  green light for us to go forward. And I'll tell you another thing.

The Chinese elders were still in this thing, big time, sequestered. They wanted it to happen tomorrow. They wanted peace to be set with Iran and with Israel by tomorrow. President Trump did that. President Trump did that  -

Now, both Iran and Israel both violated the little peace treaty by getting their last licks in shortly after the 12 hour period it started.

 However, hopefully, that's it. Hopefully that is it.

 And yes, did we decimate the nuclear capability of Iran by taking out those installations where they're refining that uranium and so on? Yes, we did. I mean, some people put out, oh, I don't think we got it all. Are they're going to start a program in a few months, start back. Don't count on it. Don't even count on it - They got them and they and I don’t think there is any uranium that's out, or that's that was snuck out of there. The opposite happened. They actually put more stuff in the bunkers, thinking they were safe there.

And I've been paying attention to a lot of different things, and that's the best information, I think, so far that's come out of it. So is it a done deal? We'll have to see. To just pray there is no more ramifications from those issues so we can enter into a period of peace, which is a major part of GESARA - a  period of peace without conflict or war – that’s kinda a  major part of it.

Now, what about the start of NESARA? That's our part of it, and we're also in the way part of the GESARA -  we've got the new USN currency. It's asset backed.

We're already completely on the quantum financial system. Finally, everybody is interconnected and on it globally. Okay, we said they were before, and they sort of were, and sort of all weren't, but now we understand they all are -  good for us, so that's a positive thing.

And now that the crypto currencies are lined up to digitally back the USN, that's good to go those two are going to work in concert, the assets which could which are gold, silver, platinum, crude oil, natural gas, etc, etc. There's quite a few assets that they use to back up the value of our USN dollar and United States Treasury note, USTN printed, yeah.

And you know, what's funny about it is that printed over two and a half years in the banks already and in our redemption centers shrink wrapped, probably in in totals of 1000 probably, and they want us to take between, say, three and 5000 if we want it, we don't have to take the new the new USTN cash. You're not a cash person, don't worry about it. But if you are, you know you can take some of these new notes.

And of course, it comes off your total with Wells Fargo. Let's see what else is pertinent. We can forget an increase in Social Security this month, that did not happen for anybody that I know of that received social -  RNR is still going to be at the redemption center for us, and it'll come in direct deposit  by they have a bank account – If you do not have a check account  you will get a US Treasury check or a certified check mailed  from Wells Fargo  

DOGE --  may not start until July -  I don't know. Was supposed to get this month didn't happen. Increase in Social Security didn't happen this week, I know, been a week ago, so those four things, RV, RNR, DOGE,  increase in Social Security. Those things will probably start for us, Hopefully Friday. Get notified Thursdays  - set appointments, Friday or Saturday.

You know, we're in, we're in, we're off and running. That's what I wanted to say about that. Is there anything of value to us? Oh, I know one other thing. Bond holders are flying in as of 6:30 Eastern tonight. Let's call it 330 Pacific this afternoon into Reno – and they are coming in for final  vetting  to make sure they are who they say they are and get accounts settled.

And I think they'll probably get some idea when they'll have access to funds. I think they'll have access  quite possibly Thursday or Friday. Probably maybe some won't get access tomorrow, but I think it's going to end up being Thursday or Friday. So those flights are coming in.

There'll be a flurry of those coming in tonight that already started this afternoon, like I said, at 330 Pacific, and that should continue for the next, oh, four or five days. That will be something that will be ongoing. They won't catch everybody every two days that will take at least four or five days to complete. We should be well under our way this weekend, and I know the 4th of July  - and I heard NESARA

 could we've heard it could officially start, or be announced, or be, you know, underway, if you will, with the information that we're looking to hear officially, July 1, July 3, July, 4. They've been all those dates. Don't know. I know that. I know President Trump wanted us to be started with NESARA, at least started with it by the Fourth of July.

And I hope that we get, you know, a full synopsis of what it's going to include, you know, by Fourth of July, or on the Fourth of July, and then we'll take it and go go from that point on. I know we're getting toward the end of the month. I know today is the 24th right? Yep, 24th so we have another week left in the month or more, yeah, that's right, another week, because the 31st is the last day of June, June 30, right? June 30, that's right.

So we've got a little less a week ago, and then we have the week of the first week of July. So we've got some time between now and the fourth for them to get this started. And I believe we will start this weekend, whether that's Friday or Saturday or us. We should.

That's what we've got, as far as the Intel so far. And I like what we've heard, because it sends it all tended to agree on something positive happening for us on Thursday, even if it only notifications - we're over 50% there guys, we get notified the 800 number can call the redemption centers  and set our appointments. We're golden. We really are. We're all set. Now beyond that, what else is going on?

Now to what I wanted to bring to you guys tonight, I will look forward to more information tomorrow, Thursday before Thursday night's call. I'm hoping that we have holds up and we do get the releases, which I hope to our emails Thursday before the call, and I can put that number up my understanding. Want me to do that. All they need to do is provide a number and we'll put it out on Thursdays home.

Thank you sue so much for everything that you're doing and I've done for the last almost 10 years, Bob will have been able to be thank you everybody for these 14 years, about this week, one ahead of this before we end off July completely, let's pray to call out before my voice  cracks

Everybody. Have a great night, and we will see you Thursday.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BIS: Stablecoins Fail as Money, Call for Strict Limits on Their Role
By Cointelegraph | June 2025

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has issued a sharp critique of stablecoins, asserting they fail to meet key monetary standards and pose risks to financial integrity and sovereignty.

According to the newly released BIS Annual Economic Report 2025, stablecoins fall short of three essential criteria that define money in a modern financial system: “singleness,” “elasticity,” and “integrity.”

“Stablecoins perform poorly when assessed against the three tests for serving as the mainstay of the monetary system,” the BIS wrote.
Rather than functioning as true money, stablecoins are described as “digital bearer instruments” that more closely resemble financial assets.

Three Failures: Singleness, Elasticity, and Integrity

• Singleness: Central bank-issued money is accepted at par and universally trusted. In contrast, stablecoins are issued by private entities and often trade at fluctuating rates, undermining monetary uniformity.

• Elasticity: Traditional banking systems allow for liquidity expansion as needed. By contrast, the BIS noted, stablecoins require full upfront payment, making them a “strict cash-in-advance setup” ill-suited for absorbing market shocks or handling high-volume payments.

• Integrity: The report raised the most serious concerns about financial crime.
Stablecoins, especially those used with unhosted wallets on public blockchains, were flagged as vulnerable to money laundering, sanctions evasion, and terrorist financing.

“Stablecoins have significant shortcomings when it comes to promoting the integrity of the monetary system,” the BIS warned.

Stablecoins Should Play a Limited Role

Despite recognizing the appeal of stablecoins—particularly for cross-border transactions and lower fees—the BIS advised that their role in the financial system be strictly limited and tightly regulated.

“Society can re-learn the historical lessons about the limitations of unsound money,” the report cautioned.
“Bold action by central banks and other public authorities can push the financial system along the right path.”

Market Impact and Crypto Reactions

Following the BIS report, Circle (CRCL)—issuer of USDC—saw its stock drop over 15%, closing at $222 on Tuesday after hitting a record high of $299 the day before.

The crypto community responded critically.

Jim Walker, chief economist at Aletheia Capital, remarked:

“The BIS is hysterical in its opposition to crypto. The first criterion—being backed by a central bank—should make it a laughing stock given the historical failures of those institutions.”

Tokenization Praised

Not all digital finance was dismissed. The BIS praised tokenization as a “transformative innovation”, calling it a promising path for next-generation monetary infrastructure.

Rather than replacing the financial system, tokenization was described as building upon it—a nuanced but important distinction from the harsh critique of stablecoins.

GENIUS Act May Be Tied to CLARITY Bill in the U.S. House: A Turning Point for Crypto Regulation
By Coinpedia | June 2025

The U.S. House of Representatives is considering merging two landmark crypto bills—the recently passed GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act—into a single legislative package that could reshape digital asset regulation across the United States.

“Together, these two bills could finally bring the structure and national guidelines the crypto industry has long demanded.”

What’s Happening?

▪️ The GENIUS Act (Government-Enacted National Infrastructure for Uniformity in Stablecoins) passed the Senate on June 17 with a 51–23 vote—marking the first major crypto bill to clear the chamber.

▪️ In the House, Republican Majority Whip Tom Emmer is now leading efforts to tie the GENIUS Act to the CLARITY Act (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025), which has already cleared the House Financial Services Committee and awaits a full vote.

Emmer believes passing both bills together is the only way to bring “a full and unified framework” to the U.S. crypto ecosystem.Why the CLARITY Act Matters

The CLARITY Act would clearly define how digital assets are categorized—such as securities vs. commodities—and outline federal rules for usage, trading, and issuance of crypto tokens across all 50 states.

Currently, crypto firms face a patchwork of conflicting state regulations, slowing innovation and increasing compliance costs. By creating one national rulebook, the combined legislation would unlock a simpler, safer environment for businesses and consumers alike.

Trump’s Push for Quick Passage

Former President Donald Trump has publicly urged the House to pass the GENIUS Act as-is, without adding the CLARITY Act. His supporters argue that swift action is needed to give stablecoin issuers regulatory clarity.

But critics, including Democratic lawmakers, see political risks. Trump has ties to World Liberty Financial, a stablecoin project, and some allege he stands to benefit personally if the law passes in its current form.

Political Pushback: The COIN Act

In response, Senator Adam Schiff introduced the COIN Act (Curbing Officials’ Income and Nondisclosure) on June 23, aiming to prevent presidents, vice presidents, and senior officials from profiting through crypto while in office or shortly after.

Schiff’s proposal adds another layer of complexity—and raises questions about whether crypto regulation can proceed without addressing potential political conflicts of interest.

What Most People Don’t Know

If passed, the merged bills could eliminate the need for crypto startups to navigate 50 different legal systems, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for innovation in the U.S.

For users, this could mean wider access to digital assets, fewer transaction barriers, and greater consumer protections—all under one consistent national framework.

Bottom Line:
The merging of the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts represents a critical moment for crypto legislation in the U.S. While support is growing for comprehensive regulation, political tensions and personal interests could complicate the path forward.
