Safe Assets, Fatal Flaw: The Basel III Oversight?

Safe Assets, Fatal Flaw: The Basel III Oversight?

Miles Harris:  7-4-2025

What if the very regulations meant to prevent another banking collapse... are quietly setting us up for the next one?

Basel III was supposed to make the financial system safer. It encouraged banks to hold more liquid, "risk-free" assets like U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities.

 But these so-called 'safe assets' are now sitting on massive unrealized losses. And under the right stress conditions, those losses could pose a major threat to the banking system.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 7-3-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 7-3-25  

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to big call tonight. It is Thursday, July 3rd  and you're listening to the big call. Thanks for tuning in, for being here. Thank you satellite team for getting the signal  out, all over the globe, and thank you big call universe for being here with us

For time to pay attention to your hint. Hint. Thank you, Bob, that's great. All right, let's take a look at where we are on our intel segment. I told you Tuesday night that we had from different sources, two different timelines for when we would get started on exchanging, and it appears that the two timelines will eventually convert into one, the timeline. So let's bring it out and let you guys think about this.

We have heard from our redemption center leaders that there was a meeting. I think it was probably a video conference call. I haven't had that confirmed yet, but it was from 4pm to 7pm eastern daylight tonight, and I think this is sort of the final call, the final get together because redemption center leaders were actually called to come in to specific locations, like where you might have three or four centers leaders for them to one place for this quote, unquote meeting.

I don't know this, but I have a feeling it was a video conference call, and they were being updated on very latest in the timing for this. So that happened this evening, and prior to that, we have heard from some sources that are over several redemption centers, as many as half a dozen to eight redemption centers each, that everything is poised to start with notifications over the weekend or by Monday at the latest.

I thought, Okay, that's a little different timeline. That's moving it back slightly, but not too much. And then we've also heard that this weekend could be significant for us. We could get a notification starting as early as Saturday.

Now tomorrow is going to feel like the weekend. It's Friday, the Fourth of July. And why is it significant other than an Independence Day celebration, 249th year -  because President Trump, fortunately, the big, beautiful bill went through and was passed 218 to 214 votes in the house, the final version of the bill. So the four vote margin won by the Republican vote. Thank God, and that has everything in it that we need for us to get started. So it went through.

It's gonna be on the President's desk for a signature in Washington tomorrow at 5pm Eastern Daylight Time The President was speaking in Iowa at the Iowa State Fair, and I only heard about 15 minutes of his speech. It was very good, and it was it was interesting.

I liked some of the things that I was hearing that were different. There was something that we didn't really hear him say before that was pretty cool. So if you have a chance to catch it on a replay tonight. It might be worth watching,

But what's happening is the president.  I don't know his itinerary as to when he's flying back to DC, but know that he plans to sign that bill at 5pm tomorrow. And what's interesting about tomorrow at noon central, daylight time, CDC, at noon central, both NESARA and GESARA\ are activated tomorrow on the Fourth of July.

So will the President speak to either of those two terms of what we know is in for us in NESARA I don't know that yet. I'm hoping he does, but I don't know that that's a guarantee. What we're looking for in NESARA is a discussion about our asset backed currency, the new USN and the physical money – USTN -  US Treasury note.

Love to have a mention of that  - it may not happen tomorrow, but it's activated as of tomorrow, as well as a discussion about no more federal income taxes, wouldn’t that be nice? And the discussion about the consumption tax, instead, I don't know how quickly that's going to come out.

I really don't know how quickly we know that the crypto coins are there another backing of as an asset to back up our USN currency, and in a way, our gold, silver and other assets, gas, oil, etc, is used to back up the crypto currency itself, the crypto coins.

And I don't think all of that is quite absolutely clear yet on how that relationship is going to work.  We know it’s a part of it - It's part of a digital currency backing our digital USN, so we have yet to see what, how that's going to come out.

All right, the other timeline that I mentioned on Tuesday is more of a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday start - and it had notifications for us – let me say it this way, notifications to me on Monday, and you remember Monday to seven, the eighth is Tuesday, eighth of July. Who likes the number eight? That's right, China.

 It symbolizes new beginnings and financial prosperity. So one source is telling me that that the time, I believe that I would be putting out the toll free number, certainly on the big call, if not sooner, on our website, depending on what happens over the weekend.

 Because we could get something even Saturday that says, Here we go. We're getting started. We've got a toll free number. We're getting out. I know today  they were going through the list of emails that are going to be going out from Wells Fargo, and they were consolidating and verifying those email addresses and getting those ready to go out.

I know that's the work on today, and I also know that another source said that this would be a brand. Now I don't know if that's from NESARA or GESARA  whether it might have something to do with the Release to us of the toll free number. So these two timelines, one, that's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, which would be Wednesday start of exchanges.

Monday notification to me, and then Tuesday notification to you in exchanges on Wednesday,  the 9th – is that the one that timeline converge into the earlier timeline of Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Guys, I don't know. I'm just gonna have to say, we’ll, just have to wait to see which of these things comes through.

Eventually the timeline will prevail -  Timeline will be the right one that lives out. So I want everybody to pay attention tomorrow, especially at pocket box Eastern President Trump signed that big, bad, beautiful bill on it. It's not a bad, I think, the beginning or middle of next week and everything that we're looking for, the restitution and reconciliation allowance, those payments, the increase in Social Security, obviously, the RV itself, the RV GTR itself, all of that included in that bill that passed today, 218, 14.

So we're on our way. We're definitely on our way. That's going to slow it down. Now, as far as anything else is concerned, let's just say, you know, we've heard the expression in days of darkness for a long time, and I told you guys months ago, apply to us. It's still the case.

It applies only to the deep state, and you can only imagine how that's going to work if they're going to be in darkness for 10 days, and guess what? That starts tomorrow. So don't worry about it. Back. You and me, we're good to go as ever. Be vigilant tomorrow. I do not expect anything.

Keep your eyes open and like I was hearing today on the news, and I watch Newsmax and one American news, those two are just toggling. See Something, Say Something. If something doesn't seem right and you're seeing it, don't be afraid to call 911, and report again.

They want us to report anything that seems screwy, that seems wrong, it seems out of it doesn't seem to make sense. See Something, Say Something. And I heard that several times today. And I want us to be aware. I want us to be vigilant too, but mainly, I want us to enjoy this Fourth of July tomorrow, and if you're somebody who's setting off fireworks, be careful.

Don't Roman candles and stuff and ladies and be careful, you guys. We always hear stories of people with fingers blown off or different injuries that come from fireworks. Let the fireworks be set out by the pros. Let the pros do it. Enjoy the displays. If you haven't already, people are going to be setting them off all weekend. They're already going off, Yes, last night and tonight in certain places. Beware of that.

Stay in your cocoon of quiet, taking over easy and big your time and your lively feeling out if that's what you do you know? And just just enjoy the time, whether it's Friday or Saturday, and I will be ever vigilant watching the thing that might come to me, so that I'll be in touch with Bob.

And no matter if Bob's in Alaska or not, I'll get in touch with him. He'll be in range. If I have to use the Tin Man telephone to get to him, I will, but I don't think that'll be necessary. Think I'll contact him and we'll put out the number as soon as we can.

Okay, send the information to you, but pay attention to your emails. Pay attention to an email from l from anyone the registered on big call universe, calm their numbers sent to them after I get it, and we'll send out a mass email to everybody that's on our site.

We'll send that out. Everybody will have the 800 number, and it's there just to make sure that you get it, and it's the same one that you get in your email from Wells Fargo. Remember this 800 number is to call to set your appointment for the redemption  Center has rates that the banks will not have.

It has the contract rate on denar, and it has the rates going to be on Dong. We're not going to know if I'll even know it by the weekend, but we'll see what it is.

Now, July is 10 years by the big call, who is just she came upon him with her so after Bob did, I think it's 14 years. And we're just thrilled we've been added to the Starwood satellite system, and is getting the call out over the world, plus 20 million out of the United States every Tuesday and Thursday night.

And I'm excited about our future, where we're going to go with this. We need to get our exchanges done. We need to get in and out of the med bed. We need to enjoy a little bit of our new life about planning a move, if that's part of your plan, and everything else that that we have to do.

 But I really think this is a great opportunity for all of us as we move forward together. Let's pray the call out, we'll turn off the recording afterwards. Thank you so much that we've had this opportunity for. Get out, that they call universe routinely Tuesday and Thursday.

Well, thanks everybody for listening. Have a great safe on your emails. I'd say, starting Saturday, keep an eye, and we'll see how this progress into the beginning of next week. All right, everybody, have a great night. Have a good night's sleep, and we'll be talking to you Tuesday, and hopefully, if we have numbers by then, great we'll put the numbers out. All right, you guys take care and have a great, safe weekend

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Afternoon 7-4-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Iran, Part of BRICS, Threatens Brazil’s Push for Global Reform

Rising geopolitical tensions challenge Brazil’s leadership of BRICS ahead of Rio summit, as Iran’s presence tests unity and derails reform agenda.

As Brazil prepares to host the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6–7, escalating geopolitical rifts—particularly involving Iran—are threatening to derail President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s global reform agenda. The tensions are drawing new lines within the bloc just as Brazil takes the helm of the newly expanded BRICS alliance.

Brazil’s Reform Agenda Meets Iranian Resistance

Under Lula’s leadership, Brazil hoped to use its BRICS presidency to promote a platform centered on:

▪️ Democratic multilateralism
▪️ Inclusive global governance reform
▪️ Green energy transition
▪️ Expanded vaccine cooperation
▪️ Fair trade policies

However, Iran’s inclusion in BRICS has created immediate and unprecedented challenges to this vision. Following renewed Iran-Israel hostilities, tensions within the group have heightened significantly, shifting the spotlight from economic reform to geopolitical friction.

“Iran’s presence is fundamentally altering the group’s direction,” say policy analysts, pointing out that Brazil’s diplomatic agenda is now overshadowed by hardline sovereignty narratives and authoritarian alignment.

A Struggle for BRICS Unity Amid Autocratic Drift

The entrance of Iran—along with Russia, China, and other authoritarian-leaning members—has shifted BRICS further from the democratic ideals that Brazil hoped to promote.

▪️ Iran has confirmed it will send a delegation to Rio, prompting fears that summit discussions will lean toward anti-West sovereignty statements rather than constructive reform.

▪️ The growing autocratic tilt undermines Brazil’s inclusive agenda and raises doubts about BRICS’s capacity for collective action.

▪️ Global instability—spurred by Russia’s war in Ukraine and Middle East tensions—is being described as a “dangerous distraction” from the bloc’s stated priorities.

“Brazil’s challenge is managing reform in a club where several members are more focused on geopolitical posturing than economic collaboration,” said Dr. Christopher Sabatini, senior fellow for Latin America at Chatham House.

Strategic Realignment May Be Brazil’s Best Bet

Facing this friction, Brazil may be forced to forge smaller coalitions within BRICS—particularly with more aligned partners like India and Indonesia—to salvage aspects of its original reform plan.

▪️ Limited cooperation on climate change, infrastructure, and trade reform could still emerge through bilateral or trilateral deals.

▪️ Lula’s administration may have to lower expectations for sweeping multilateral consensus at the summit due to widening internal divisions.

▪️ Still, Brazil’s presidency could be considered a success if it sidesteps ideological gridlock and instead champions tangible, issue-specific outcomes.

While the BRICS summit in Rio was envisioned as a platform for emerging market leadership, it has become a test of whether the bloc can maintain cohesion in the face of mounting internal contradictions. Iran’s role in BRICS—once viewed as symbolic—is now central to the debate over the organization’s future identity and global credibility.

The World Quietly Moves on From the US Dollar
Global sentiment shifts as currency weaponization fuels reserve diversification

Decades of U.S. dollar dominance are quietly unraveling—not through manipulation or market failures, but through currency weaponization. The White House’s overreach with economic sanctions has pushed even long-standing partners to reassess their reliance on the greenback.

From Russia to Iran, Belarus, and beyond, the U.S. has levied sanctions that have crippled national economies, isolating them from global trade. Despite repeated warnings from emerging economies, the U.S. continued to treat its currency as a tool of coercion. This has now sparked a widespread—but quiet—departure from the dollar.

Historically, the British pound, the global reserve currency before the 1940s, maintained its role without resorting to weaponization. In contrast, the U.S. dollar—though still dominant—is increasingly perceived as a liability, rather than an asset.

Central Banks Begin Diversifying Reserves

While the U.S. dollar remains central to global finance—involved in over 86% of transactions worldwide—confidence is eroding. Nations are no longer viewing the dollar as a financial solution but rather a growing problem, particularly in light of America’s $36 trillion national debt and its role in enforcing economic punishments.

In response, central banks are diversifying into gold and local currencies, hedging against the risks tied to U.S. fiscal policy and dollar-dependency. Officials are openly questioning the neutrality of global institutions like the IMF and World Bank, which operate firmly within the dollar-based framework.

Weaponization Accelerates De-Dollarization

The most alarming trend? The U.S. dollar is no longer viewed as neutral. The perception of its use as a geopolitical weapon has undermined the trust required to sustain its global supremacy.

Experts warn: unless the U.S. changes course, it could face a historic decline in dollar hegemony.

"To restore trust, the United States must stop using its currency as a weapon and instead support fair economic development globally," the article notes.

The de-dollarization movement is gaining traction—not as a loud rebellion, but as a strategic recalibration. The rest of the world is moving on. Quietly. Deliberately. And possibly, permanently.

The Trump Administration will focus on finding a replacement for Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell this fall. Let’s go Judy Shelton.

This is exactly why the Federal Reserve needs Judy Shelton.

When I spoke with her last November, she warned: “We should be more concerned about the concentration of power in a Federal Reserve that faces no limits on how much U.S. government debt it can buy, no limits on the money it can create with a keystroke… and no rules to protect the monetary integrity of the U.S. dollar from its policy of 2% annual debasement.”

Hard truth.

Frank26    Inside two weeks ago Vietnam told Donald Trump, 'Sir, we want to talk to you about the exchange rate of our currency.' That's kind of direct...to the point. That's kind of exciting because that's what's happening with the Iraqi dinar and that's what he's doing apparently with a lot of currencies...This caught me...my teams...a little bit off guard.  No, I don't believe in a GCR.  But if you ask me, 'Do you believe in a partial GCR?'  I got to.  Trump is hypnotizing people/countries...He's the greatest influencer there is...Something is going on with a lot of currencies IMO. 

Pimpy  When you look at Vietnam overall, their economy is doing spectacular.  Despite all the conflicts going on everywhere, despite all the trade wars going on everywhere, Vietnam is doing exceptionally well...President Trump announced a trade deal with Vietnam...This is a great trade deal...If they really open the markets...and bring in goods from the United States over to Vietnam you can see an increase in the value of the Vietnam Dong...

Tidbits From TNT” Friday 7-4-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  The Association of Private Banks to Nina: Iraq has made significant progress in promoting financial inclusion...and these are the requirements for the success of international standards.

The Iraqi Private Banks Association confirmed: "Iraq has achieved significant progress in financial inclusion thanks to the Central Bank's commitment to implementing international standards."

The head of the association, Wadih Al-Handhal, said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency ( NINA ), that "the Central Bank of Iraq is moving forward in implementing compliance standards and enhancing financial inclusion in the banking sector, and the Banks Association also supports raising awareness of financial inclusion."

He explained that "the success of the basic requirements for implementing these standards and achieving advanced levels in combating money laundering depend on training specialized and qualified staff to use information and databases, based on the principle of knowing the customer and the sources of his funds."

He added: "The Middle East and North Africa Financial Action Task Force (MENAFATF) has transformed Iraq from a gray zone to a monitoring area, and this is true evidence that Iraq has achieved significant progress in enhancing financial inclusion and combating money laundering and terrorist financing," noting that "the need for legal legislation still exists, and we must move forward in training human cadres to keep pace with the rapid digital and technological transformation in the world."

Regarding the financial inclusion rates achieved by Iraq, Al-Handhal explained that, “according to international standards, the current financial inclusion rate in Iraq has exceeded 46% compared to previous years, which is a very significant progress with which we seek to achieve a rate of 90-95% in cooperation with the Central Bank in the near future. The Arab Monetary Fund is also very satisfied with this rate and is following the growth of the banking sector. It considers Iraq to be implementing financial inclusion through a sound mechanism that has contributed to Iraq’s progress in ranking ahead of other countries.”  link

Tishwash:  Government advisor: The government has succeeded in managing fiscal policy.

The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, explained on Friday the reasons for the delay in submitting the budget schedules, while stressing that the government has succeeded in managing the country's financial and economic policy.

Saleh said, "The financial compass reading, which required the submission of the 2025 budget tables for legal approval under Article 77/Second of the Budget Law, was truly delayed for two fundamental reasons. The first was to await the amendment to the three-year general budget law regarding the value of the region's oil contracts and the costs of transporting its oil, which were not approved until last February. The other reason relates to the fluctuations that global energy markets were exposed to and the effects of global oil prices on the general budget, which also required rereading some financial constants and variables, whether revenues, expenditures, deficit financing and its sources, more than once due to international geopolitical and economic problems and the major issues that occurred in the global economy at a rapid pace, which led to the generation of volatile shocks in close periods of the current fiscal year, which necessitated hedging against external shocks."

He added that "all these factors led to the delay in submitting budget schedules to review some of its inputs and outputs," noting that "there is significant and ongoing cooperation between the legislative and executive authorities in monitoring and managing the country's financial affairs, with understanding, interaction, and optimization of great importance to ensuring the economic stability the country is experiencing."

Regarding the impact of delayed budget schedules on projects included in the investment section, Saleh pointed out that, “Based on the Federal General Budget Law No. 13 of 2023, the three-year budget, the federal financial policy was formed based on an approach called ‘fiscal space’, which gave it the high capacity to move dozens of approved and previously suspended strategic government projects forward into implementation.

This is what distinguished it with a highly active development wheel in implementing service projects that the country is witnessing without interruption, and its results have become tangible thanks to the success of the three-year budget, in addition to the major projects approved in the 2023 and 2024 budget schedules, which are currently ongoing without interruption.”

He stressed that “the state’s investment approach is proceeding in line with the sustainability of economic development and in accordance with the high positive results currently achieved in growth rates and the great economic stability that the country is witnessing, whether in terms of declining unemployment rates, increasing economic growth, and price stability, in an active and compatible trilogy achieved as a result of the success of the country’s financial and economic policy without interruption in the wheels of public spending, including the current year 2025.”

He continued, "As far as the rights and entitlements acquired in the operational aspect of the general budget are concerned, but have not been disbursed and are contingent upon the submission of the 2025 financial schedules, these are legally protected rights reserved for their beneficiaries and are not subject to statute of limitations. They are merely a matter of timing and will be disbursed upon the approval of these schedules or any adjustment that does not conflict with the law."  link

An Imminent Crisis in the Iraqi Financial Sector: Has the Phase of Comprehensive Sanctions Begun?

Iraq's financial system is facing new signs of turmoil after the disruption of salary payments through some electronic payment companies affiliated with government institutions. While the reasons for the disruption appear technical, informed sources confirm that the matter is linked to US investigations targeting Iraqi banks and companies suspected of involvement in money laundering operations abroad, to countries including Turkey, Iran, and the UAE.

The same sources explained that the US Treasury had granted a grace period to a number of private banks and electronic payment companies to rectify their status and comply with international standards for combating money laundering and terrorist financing, including the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. However, many of these entities have not demonstrated sufficient seriousness in resolving their cases, opening the door to the inclusion of new names on US sanctions lists in the near future.

 This situation threatens to directly disrupt the financial market's performance, especially if the sanctions affect active institutions relied upon to pay salaries and finance daily commercial activities. Experts expect liquidity within the market to be significantly affected, amid growing concerns about declining public confidence in local banks.

 This is particularly true with the increased demand for dollars for external transfers or for storage in anticipation of any unexpected developments. This pressure could lead to a decline in the value of the Iraqi dinar and a rise in the dollar on the parallel market, which would impact the prices of goods and services in an already tense economic environment.

Meanwhile, regulatory authorities within Iraq , led by the Central Bank, are preparing to impose stricter oversight on the activities of banks and money transfer companies in an attempt to avoid further escalation. This is particularly true since some technical reports have revealed clear violations in the performance of some banking institutions, including massive financial transfers abroad without legal documentation, the issuance of credit cards to fictitious accounts, and suspicions of financing prohibited activities or smuggling hard currency.

Despite the bleak outlook, observers believe the crisis could mark a turning point in Iraq's financial reform process. It has become imperative to restructure the private banking sector and impose strict regulatory classifications, along with a comprehensive review of electronic payment companies to ensure their compliance with international standards, and to open the door to broader partnerships with globally licensed financial service providers.

In this context, the crisis may turn into an opportunity to reshape the financial market in Iraq, starting with cleansing the banking environment of unregulated entities and bolstering international institutions' confidence in the Iraqi transfer and oversight system. The shift toward a more transparent and governed environment is not a luxury, but rather a necessity imposed by both domestic realities and international pressures.

Iraq today stands at a critical crossroads: either integrate into the global financial system on its terms and ensure gradual stability in its banking sector, or continue sliding toward financial isolation, which will have direct repercussions for the lives of citizens and the country's economy as a whole. link

Chaos And Sole Control... Who Is Behind The National Bank's Monopoly On Foreign Remittances?
 
Economy  2025-07-03 | 830 views  Alsumaria News – Economic  The banking sector in Iraq has recently witnessed a surge in popular discontent and  political controversy  following the National Bank of Iraq's dominance of remittances from abroad.
 
This has led to the  exclusion of several local banks from this vital sector, causing real crises for citizens and  raising widespread questions about the motives behind this monopoly and who is behind it.
 
A sudden decision... and a mysterious exclusion  
 
The story began when a sudden central decision was made to assign the responsibility for foreign remittances to the National Bank of Iraq.
 
This move, observers described as having implications that transcended technical or regulatory considerations, was particularly significant after the exclusion of well-known Iraqi banks that had been performing this role with relative efficiency.
 
Informed sources revealed that the   decision was made under pressure from influential figures seeking to  strengthen their financial influence within the banking sector, exploiting the so-called "financial window system," which regulates the receipt of remittances.
 
Sources indicate that  these figures share common interests with some members of the National Bank's senior management,  opening the door to potential financial and administrative corruption.

Monopoly disrupts the market... and citizens pay the price  
 
Since the National Bank of Iraq took over remittance management, receiving offices in Baghdad and other governorates have witnessed unprecedented congestion and frequent delays,
 
not to mention technical problems and unprofessional behavior by some employees, according to citizen complaints.
 
Citizen (K.N.), one of the affected people, confirmed to Sumaria News , “After the National Bank took over the remittances, I went to collect my remittances and I kept moving from one office to another because each employee sent me to another,” explaining that
 
“the current administration does not organize the work and we need to facilitate procedures for citizens, not complicate matters.”
 
Citizen Abu Ali complained about the poor technical services, telling Sumaria News, "Since the day the National Bank took over the remittances, the application has become even more dysfunctional." 

 He stated that  "the application stops repeatedly,  transfers are delayed or do not arrive, and  if a malfunction occurs, there is no one to respond,  in addition to the endless excuses."
 
Substandard customer service 
 
There have been numerous complaints about poor customer treatment at bank branches,
sparking a wave of anger on the street.
 
Citizen (H.A.) said, “When I went to the bank to inquire about a transfer that arrived in my name,
I was surprised by the way some employees treated me,” explaining that “this is worrisome.”
 
Employee (J.S.) stated, “I received a transfer through Al-Ahli Bank, after reviewing and postponing the appointment more than once,” explaining that “the customer is being neglected, as if he is forced to endure the mismanagement and delays.”

Delayed remittances... losses and suffering  
 
Delays in remittances have become an almost daily occurrence,
causing economic damage to many citizens who rely on these funds to make ends meet.
 
“I called customer service to inquire about a delayed transfer, but there was no response,” Y.M. said.  He continued,
 
"When they do respond, the response is general and useless," noting that "since Al Ahli Bank took over the remittances, the problems have increased and there are no real solutions."
 
Citizen (A.D.) describes the situation as a “real crisis,” noting,  “When I receive a remittance from abroad through Al-Ahli Bank, there is definitely a delay, and  it does not arrive on the same day.” 

He stressed that  "this causes us embarrassment due to the financial obligations we have," calling for other Iraqi banks to be allowed to conduct remittances and not for the National Bank to monopolize them.
 
Unanswered questions... and regulatory authorities remain silent 
 
In light of this critical situation, citizens and those interested in financial affairs are raising questions about the entity that made the decision to restrict remittances to the National Bank, and why other banks that provided acceptable services were excluded.
 
Why don't regulatory bodies, such as the Central Bank of Iraq and the Integrity Commission, investigate the reasons behind the decision?
 
Economists warn that "the continuation of this monopoly will lead to  financial distortions in the remittance market, pressure on citizens, and a collapse in public confidence in the local banking sector."
 
Calls for a transparent investigation 
 
Economists are calling for "a transparent investigation into the allocation of remittances to the National Bank,  and for any party that manipulated banking competition or led to the exclusion of other Iraqi banks to be held accountable." 

They are also calling on the Central Bank  to "urgently intervene and redistribute the remittance file to qualified banks according to standards of efficiency and fairness."

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

House GOP Declares ‘Crypto Week’ to Advance Landmark Digital Asset Bills

House Republicans launch a coordinated push to transform U.S. crypto regulation—while halting central bank digital currency plans.

The U.S. House of Representatives is set to make cryptocurrency a legislative priority during the week of July 14, as House Republicans declare “Crypto Week”—a focused legislative campaign aimed at reshaping digital asset regulation and blocking the issuance of a Federal Reserve-backed central bank digital currency (CBDC).

The effort is part of former President Donald Trump’s broader policy strategy to establish the U.S. as a global leader in blockchain innovation and crypto competitiveness.

Three Key Bills Take Center Stage

During Crypto Week, House leadership will spotlight three critical pieces of legislation:

• The CLARITY Act

• The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act

• The GENIUS Act

“After years of dedicated work in Congress on digital assets, we are advancing landmark legislation to establish a clear regulatory framework,” said Rep. French Hill (R-AR), Chair of the House Financial Services Committee.

The bills aim to deliver regulatory certainty, protect consumer rights, and prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC—a digital version of the U.S. dollar that critics argue would endanger financial privacy.

Legislative Milestones Already Achieved

The groundwork for Crypto Week has already been laid:

• In April, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act passed out of committee with a 27–22 vote.

• In June, the CLARITY Act was approved by both the House Financial Services and Agriculture Committees. The bill seeks to remove the SEC’s current oversight authority over crypto.

• That same month, the GENIUS Act cleared the Senate and now awaits a House vote.

“Time and again, we have heard the calls for regulatory clarity,” said Rep. GT Thompson (R-PA), Chair of the Agriculture Committee. “It will soon be time for the House to deliver for the American people and send CLARITY to the Senate.”

Crypto Week Signals a Turning Point

Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), a leading crypto advocate in Congress, said that the legislation represents a commitment to financial privacy and free-market innovation.

“American innovators are one step closer to having the clarity they need to build here at home,” Emmer said, “while ensuring the future of the digital economy reflects our values of privacy, individual sovereignty, and free-market competitiveness.”

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) emphasized that this federal momentum mirrors the trailblazing work already done at the state level.

“In Wyoming, we’ve worked for nearly a decade to embrace digital assets. It’s exciting to see the federal government beginning to follow in the Cowboy State’s footsteps.”

Lummis confirmed she is working closely with Rep. Hill and Rep. Thompson on comprehensive stablecoin legislation, adding:

“We must ensure any CBDC respects Americans’ privacy and financial freedom.”

As Crypto Week approaches, momentum continues to build for a comprehensive redefinition of how the U.S. treats digital assets—shifting the country’s position from reactive oversight to proactive leadership.

US Senator Cynthia Lummis Drafts Standalone Crypto Tax Bill

Wyoming lawmaker seeks to overhaul digital asset taxation—cutting red tape, ending double taxation, and boosting U.S. innovation.

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) introduced a standalone draft bill on Thursday to modernize the U.S. tax code for digital assets—after previous attempts to include crypto reforms in the federal budget package failed.

The new legislation is designed to provide regulatory clarity and eliminate double taxation on crypto transactions involving staking, mining, and lending.

Key Provisions:

▪️ A de minimis exemption for crypto capital gains under $300 per transaction, with an annual cap of $5,000
▪️ Tax deferral on staking and mining rewards until the underlying assets are sold
▪️ Exemptions for crypto lending agreements and charitable donations involving digital assets

“This groundbreaking legislation is fully paid for, cuts through the bureaucratic red tape, and establishes common-sense rules that reflect how digital technologies function in the real world,” said Lummis.

“We cannot allow our archaic tax policies to stifle American innovation. My legislation ensures Americans can participate in the digital economy without inadvertent tax violations.”

The standalone bill is now the primary legislative vehicle for Lummis to fulfill her pro-crypto policy promises, particularly after Congress advanced the 2025 budget without incorporating any digital asset tax reforms.

Crypto Taxation Remains a Flashpoint

Across the U.S. crypto landscape, unclear and inefficient tax rules continue to frustrate investors, developers, and businesses.

A particular area of concern is the treatment of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and non-custodial platforms, where developers do not hold user funds or control consensus. Without updated tax code language, these actors risk being misclassified as money transmitters and subjected to reporting obligations designed for centralized financial institutions.

In June, lawmakers introduced an amendment to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025—exempting DeFi developers from these requirements. That amendment, if retained in the final version of the bill, would protect innovation by distinguishing between centralized and decentralized projects.

A Race Against Time

U.S. lawmakers are working urgently to finalize crypto-related language in the upcoming federal spending bill, now headed to President Donald Trump’s desk. Whether Lummis’s proposals make it into law through this new standalone bill or are folded into broader packages remains to be seen.

But with bipartisan attention intensifying around crypto taxation, Lummis’s bill may mark a pivotal shift toward fairer, innovation-friendly tax treatment for U.S. digital asset holders.
