Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Fed Chair Jerome Powell Considers Resigning: What’s Next for Crypto?

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is reportedly considering stepping down before the end of his term — a move that could significantly impact U.S. interest rate policy and trigger a new wave of momentum in the crypto markets.

Pulte Responds: “The Right Decision for America”

William J. Pulte, Chairman of the Board of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, responded publicly to the reports, expressing strong support for Powell’s potential resignation. Posting on his official X account, Pulte stated:

“I’m encouraged by reports that Jerome Powell is considering resigning. I think this will be the right decision for America, and the economy will boom.”

While Powell has not officially confirmed any plans to resign, multiple sources have pointed to growing friction between the Fed and the Trump administration as a likely catalyst.

Policy Divide: Powell vs. Trump

The tension between Fed Chair Powell and President Donald Trump has escalated in recent months. Trump has repeatedly called for aggressive interest rate cuts, arguing that a looser monetary policy is necessary to match the current strength of the U.S. economy.

In a recent TruthSocial post, President Trump stated:

“Tech Stocks, Industrial Stocks, Nasdaq hit all-time highs! Crypto is through the roof, Nvidia is up 47% since Trump tariffs. The USA is taking in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs... The Fed should rapidly lower rates to reflect this strength.”

However, Chair Powell has resisted such demands, warning that recent tariffs could actually increase inflationary pressure and that monetary policy should remain cautious, especially in the face of a weakening U.S. dollar.

Market Implications: Rate Cuts & Crypto Surge

Should Powell resign, President Trump would likely appoint a successor aligned with his pro-growth, low-rate agenda. Analysts believe this would increase the likelihood of multiple rate cuts before the end of 2025, providing an additional tailwind for risk-on assets.

Crypto markets have already entered a bullish phase, bolstered by expanding global liquidity and easing monetary conditions. Additional rate cuts could accelerate this momentum significantly.

The potential leadership change at the Fed represents more than a political reshuffle — it could become a pivotal event for both traditional financial markets and the digital asset ecosystem.

BIS Research Finds Tokenized Government Bonds Have Tighter Spreads

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has released new research indicating that tokenized government bonds—while still a small slice of the overall bond market—are demonstrating significantly tighter bid-ask spreads and potential advantages in liquidity, issuance efficiency, and accessibility.

Key Findings From the BIS Bulletin

The BIS analyzed 15 tokenized bonds issued by sovereigns, supranational institutions, and government agencies, totaling $1.9 billion—a fraction of the estimated $80 trillion global government bond market.

Improved Liquidity:

• Mean bid-ask spread on tokenized bonds: 19 basis points

• Mean bid-ask spread on traditional bonds: 30 basis points

The tighter spreads suggest superior liquidity and possibly more efficient price discovery for tokenized instruments.

Why Are Tokenized Bonds More Liquid?

The research points to several contributing factors:

• Integration with Central Securities Depositories (CSDs): Tokenized bonds issued via integrated platforms are more easily accessible to institutional investors.

• Investor experimentation: Anecdotal evidence suggests that investors are showing active interest in these digital instruments.

• Lower minimum investment thresholds:

• Tokenized bonds average: $110,000

• Conventional bonds average: $185,000

Lower entry costs broaden the investor pool and support tighter spreads.

Yields and Premium Pricing

While some tokenized bonds have traded at premium prices—implying lower yields—the BIS cautions that the evidence remains idiosyncratic, with no definitive trend yet established.

“The jury is still out” on whether tokenized bonds offer consistent yield advantages.

Advantages of Digital Bond Issuance

Tokenized or “digital-native” government bonds present a range of potential benefits:

• Faster settlement and reduced counterparty risk through Delivery vs Payment (DvP) models

• Smart contract automation to reduce servicing and back-office costs

• Lower issuance thresholds, encouraging broader market participation

• Potential collateral use, which could open significant liquidity channels (though this remains restricted in most jurisdictions)

Challenges and Outlook

Despite the upside, the BIS highlights critical hurdles:

• Regulatory uncertainty, especially regarding collateral eligibility

• Lack of platform scalability and the need for robust infrastructure

These challenges must be resolved for digital bonds to realize their full potential.

Cost Savings Potential

German tokenization platform Cashlink also weighed in, suggesting digital bonds—especially international and long-term issuances—could reduce costs by up to 1.2% of issuance value over an eight-year bond’s lifetime, primarily due to savings in asset servicing.

Conclusion

The BIS bulletin reinforces the growing appeal of tokenized bonds for both issuers and investors, pointing to better liquidity, lower entry barriers, and operational efficiencies. While still early-stage, the findings support continued interest in digital asset infrastructure—particularly as regulatory frameworks evolve and adoption scales.

Shanghai Officials Signal Openness to Stablecoins Despite China’s Crypto Ban

In a surprising shift, Chinese state officials in Shanghai are reportedly showing openness toward stablecoin development, signaling a potential divergence from the country’s broader ban on cryptocurrencies.

Strategic Shift in Shanghai

According to Reuters, the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) convened a high-level meeting to discuss strategic responses to digital currencies and stablecoins. Following the meeting, SASAC Director He Qing urged stronger engagement with emerging technologies and deeper research into digital currency frameworks.

“We must demonstrate greater sensitivity to emerging technologies,” He Qing posted on the SASAC’s official channel.

This discussion follows growing domestic pressure from academics and private industry to explore a yuan-backed stablecoin that could compete globally.

China’s Central Bank Joins the Conversation

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) is also starting to engage in the global stablecoin conversation. In June, PBOC Governor Pan Gongsheng acknowledged that stablecoins represent a transformative shift in global payments infrastructure, especially given the influence of U.S. dollar-backed assets such as Circle’s USDC.

In response to this shift, China’s Securities Times, a state-run outlet, published an editorial on June 23, stating that “the development of stablecoins should be sooner rather than later.”

Hong Kong: A Potential Testing Ground

Due to tight capital controls in mainland China, direct implementation of a yuan-backed stablecoin appears unlikely—for now. However, PBOC adviser Huang Yiping has floated the idea of using Hong Kong’s offshore RMB market to test the concept.

“Hong Kong has an offshore market for the renminbi. If it continues to develop, we could see a stablecoin pegged to the offshore RMB in Hong Kong,” Huang stated.

This would allow China to compete in the international stablecoin arena while avoiding the political and regulatory risks of allowing such assets within its mainland borders.

Conclusion

While China continues to enforce one of the world’s strictest bans on crypto trading and mining, signals from Shanghai authorities, the PBOC, and state media suggest a strategic reevaluation is underway. A yuan-backed stablecoin, launched via Hong Kong, could emerge as a controlled yet competitive response to Western-led digital currencies—particularly those advancing under U.S. financial policy.

The Dollar's Worst Year Since 1973 Explained!

The Dollar's Worst Year Since 1973 Explained!

Taylor Kenny:  7-10-2025

The mighty U.S. dollar, long the undisputed king of global finance, has just suffered a truly jarring setback: its worst start to the year since 1973.

 This isn’t just a statistical blip; it’s an echo of a tumultuous past, signaling that the very foundations of the dollar’s dominance may be cracking under unprecedented strain.

The year 1973 marked a watershed moment in financial history. The chaos that ensued from President Nixon’s decisive decoupling of the dollar from gold, famously ending the Bretton Woods system, plunged global markets into uncertainty.

 Back then, the dollar was ultimately “saved” through a strategic re-alignment, most notably the petrodollar agreement which cemented its role in global oil trade, and a series of aggressive interest rate hikes that shored up its value.

But this time, the world is different, and the traditional lifelines appear to be absent or insufficient. There’s no grand oil deal on the horizon to re-anchor the dollar, nor does it seem politically or economically feasible for central banks to hike rates aggressively enough to counteract the immense pressures building up.

So, what are these pressures that make the current situation far more perilous than its 1973 precursor?

These converging forces lead to a stark conclusion: the “great fiat experiment” – the system of unbacked paper currencies that has defined global finance since 1971 – may be entering its final, most challenging phase.

Without the discipline of a commodity backing like gold, or the unwavering global demand previously underpinned by geopolitical stability and economic dominance, the dollar’s current trajectory raises profound questions about the future of the international financial system itself.

The implications are far-reaching, potentially ushering in a new era of economic instability, rapid inflation, or even a reordering of global financial power. Understanding these complex dynamics is no longer a niche interest; it’s crucial for anyone navigating today’s uncertain economic landscape.

For a deeper dive into these critical insights and what they could mean for your financial future, we highly recommend watching the full video from ITM Trading with Taylor Kenney. Taylor offers invaluable perspectives and detailed analysis on these seismic shifts in the global financial order.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 7-10-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 7-10-25  

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. it is thursday, July 10th and you’re listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for coming in – tuned in -  from wherever you are, all around the globe. Thank you satellite team for getting this call out all over the world.

Okay, guys, let's get into some intel. Let's see. I've got several things to bring to you tonight. The first thing is, let's talk about Iraq. Iraq has a prime minister, President Well, President Sudani  was called by President Trump today to ask him to raise the rate on the Iraqi dinar on Saturday, or he would be looking at tariffs for Iraq on Sunday?

 Well, I'm sure Iraq doesn't want tariffs -  there, and I'm sure President Trump would rather have the Iraqi rate where  it should be. And so the one benefit  that we have on Saturday is that if they do that Saturday morning, we'll they are eight hours ahead of the East Coast, so it won't affect our Saturday in a negative way. It should be, in other words, that new Iraqi rate should be up on screens Saturday

Now, speaking of screens, our redemption center leader, one of them that spoke to us today, said there are no rates on redemption center screens right now. And this guy just a big call. When I was stepped away from the call, I got that piece, there are no currencies or rates on redemption center screens. And I'm going to say probably not on bank screens either at this time.

And I think the reason, one of the reasons is, remember how we talked about our accounts, our bank accounts, being  mirrored I n the QFS. We talked about them being live on the QFS well, some banks are still doing that with our accounts, and are supposed to be complete with that on or by Saturday, making our accounts live on QFS. Okay?

And you know, there's quite a bit of interconnectivity with that, between Starlink satellite system, the FinTech system, the what else the blockchain technology that's being used for the digital crypto currencies that as well as the Starlink satellite system.

So the whole thing has to be fully interconnected, and that's what's been happening. And they're going to continue to make sure that everything's connected, so our accounts are in the QFs system, fully activated and ready to go by Saturday. So that takes care of that.

What about where we are as far as our notifications? Oour notifications we thought would be out today, Thursday.

Now it appears, and there's a reason that we got pushed, I believe, till tomorrow to be notified. It looks like we're gonna notified Friday and begin exchange. They want us to start exchanging on Saturday, if possible. So we've got a Friday, Saturday start. It could be a Friday, Saturday and Sunday or Monday start for exchanges.

In other words, if the numbers come out tomorrow, we shouldn't start Saturday, if we don't get them tomorrow, but then weekend, we're looking at probably a Monday start for exchanges. Okay? So I don't know that the Iraqi dinar is holding this up per se.

However, I think the dinar has got to be at the rate it's supposed to be on the redemption center screens, which is going to probably take place Saturday. So we could possibly get those numbers tomorrow, I believe, and go ahead and set our appointments and  begin our exchanges, hopefully on Saturday, if not, our first crack at it could be on Monday.

So we have to just hang in there and be patient as this is taking place, and as we're looking forward to this coming to its rightful conclusion. All right now, if there's anything that I'm saying that needs to be brought out. Of course, we talked about last Tuesday, we talked about the RNR, talked about DOGE payments.

We talked about increases in Social Security, which are still on for this month –it may not be on your normal Wednesday – because I believe the first   was Wednesday -  yesterday – showed no increase in Social Security for those receiving it – by direct deposit – and its ha;f way through the month  in that sense  first and second Wednesday – even though today is only the 10th

It is very possible they will catch up with another payment on the second Wednesday , so We're gonna have to see how that plays out by the end of the month.

As I mentioned earlier  we have one week to set our appointments  for the redemption centers - And we have one month to do the exchanges and redemption - So that's the latest information on that.

Now, when we call the toll free number will be going into a call center  and look, there were four or six call centers that we’ll be using , really each state has it’s  own district  office, which is a connection to all the redemption centers themselves.

Now I don't think they can come into  play for our calling to set appointments but they are there and they are responding to the redemption centers which remember quite a few

Gosh, can't remember if there's over 9000 or more redemptions centers. There are quite a few. You generally won’t  have to drive more than 45 minutes to an hour at the most in your western states to get to one.They will be very accessible anywhere from 15 – 30 minute drive – and of course they are not telling   us where they are. They don't want us to know where they are -  heavily secure, and they'll remain heavily secure when we go in there.

But it's not going to be like an operation, where they're afraid to go in - very comfortable parking and getting to your appointments  -- no more than 10 mins  early, I believe, 10 minutes, because its possible they get done done a little more quickly,  with the previous person, and they'll be going out and exiting out of the different door, and you'll be welcome to Come in, and so on and so forth. So a really cool experience. I can't wait. Cannot wait to go in.

And as far as Med Beds availability – the availably  are pretty quickly  after our exchange – some of us have our names in the system, most of us do not, but they know who the Zim holders are. And the trick to get in early, to be an early adopter into the med beds, is to be a Zim holder and have a dire need.

If you check both boxes, yep, Zim holder, dire need  you kind of go up to the front of the line, and you'll let them know that when you to redemption center, and then they'll key that in on the keyboard, key that in, and you'll be in the system, and you're you're good to go.

Okay, so that'll take us get there, into the redemption center.   And then when you go to the Med Bed Center, which has two med bed at each one, and also all around in Canada, in Mexico, and there's some in Europe and also in Asia and Far East. I can't tell you the numbers in those areas, but they're all over the place.

And when you go there, each bed Center has two bed beds and produce you're having done, they'll put you in one bed, bed or the other. If it's more of a dire need with an amputation or a lost limb of some kind, or whatever, that needs a little bit different approach to it, but it's going to be terrific.

I'm very much looking forward to getting my everything else, as far as that goes, but it's not going to be a long time. It should be a matter of, I would say, five days, maybe four after your appointment. In most cases, if you're super dire need, it might push you up and move you up the scale.

It may depend on where you live, too, because look so if you're in one area of the country, I'm in a different area of the country, what difference does my timing make to you or your timing make to me? We both can get in fairly early based on our redemption.

Now here's the other piece that I got yesterday on your calling inside your appointments, is that when you call in and you've given your zip code, they know roughly where you want to do your exchange, either your home zip code, your work zip code, or another zip code, if you're a different part of the country you enter, they will connect you to a redemption center in that area, close to that zip code, the closest one to you based on your zip code.

So what they'll do when you call in, you get transferred that redemption center, you'll speak to someone who will probably be working with you. They'll help you set your appointment, and they will give you three time slot options, three times , pick one to three, whatever suits your schedule that you that's going to be an incredible experience for all of us.

And I'm excited about going into the redemption Center. I'm excited about that quantum  card, my Wells Fargo account, my master account, getting a lot of getting my username, password for the quantum card, five digit input my biometric finger or something, and my email address and yeah, email address, password, all that card tells everything between computer chips in that card about three times the thickness of regular credit card -  and take this other regular credit card.

So I think it's made of platinum, and that's your access to your quantum account. You'll you're not going to buy anything with  it into whatever set up with it could have three  different that are tied to links that quant card your quantum account.

Okay, so you don't want to just willy nilly lay that card down anywhere - Needs to be a very safe place. You need to move funds in the future. You can go to it and activate it and use it to move funds by yourself. You don't even have to do it the bank, because you'll have everything that you need to do it, even with a new queue phone that is coming and it's coming to us if you're a zim holder, you get one for free  a zim holder, you get a free queue phone. My understanding is the service is free—I cant tell you anymore about it  -

I thought there would be a service charge  - I don’t know -  don’t hold me to it -  as of right now I understand there is no service charge  - and it is a satellite phone  -  uses  the  Starlink satellite system to communicate. So it's going to be really cool and very fast. It's at least 6g and it's, it's going to be good communication.

 If you're doing mission work and you're down to South America, or you're in Africa, or whatever that Que phone,   as long as you charge it up should be that'll be good to go - . I'm glad for that. That's cool anywhere you travel  as long as, I guess, long as You have a signal through the starling system you are golden 

 There is some stuff  in LA  - you have probably heard about – read about – that made the news - about tunnels underground in LA , and yes, we're involved in cleaning that up  - isle 3 green underground, and they're making really good headway on it right now.

They may have it already completed by now. It should be by sometime tonight, Pacific Time, and that'll be a good thing. It'll be a very good thing to clean that up. I'm not going to get into it, but I'm just glad that they're doing that.

Otherwise, it appears that all these rains that are happening all over the country, are not a result of harp or some maliciousness, it appears, I can't say that was the case for Texas, though. I cannot say that's what. Okay, however, my sources are saying the  current weather issue and just kind of what's normal happening than, malicious or by someone or some machine.

Okay, that's the end of that one. Let's see. Is there anything else?

Let's see if tonight, excuse me not, tonight, we get these numbers tomorrow. I don't have any time given at this point on it -  but  If they come  what we will do  is put it out on big call universe.com, and we'll send that email out as soon as we can . So you guys would have it from us, big call universe, in addition to the one that comes from Wells, Fargo, the we don’t know  it could be in the morning  - tomorrow  - we don’t know

We know they're trying to get those out. They just didn't get it for today. And I've got a full clearance from department defense and Treasury - and once I get the green light on both of those, I think everything is more or less automated.

 So let's do this, you guys, let me thank Sue and Bob being great co hosts on the big call,  thanks everybody in big call universe for listening to the call for the last 14 years,

 let's hope that we get what we're looking for, and the blessing comes in and we go forward and go into our projects and whatever we want to do after we've taken a little time to do what we need to do  to assimilate everything,

.All right, so thanks everybody so much for listening tonight. I appreciate it, and we can keep an eye on your emails, and we'll let you know if we get it, we'll put it out. Okay, thanks so much. Everybody. Have a blessed weekend, and let's pray the call out,

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Afternoon 7-11-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Argentina Reportedly Secures Zero-Tariff Agreement With the US

In a potentially historic trade breakthrough, President Javier Milei of Argentina has reportedly struck a reciprocal zero-tariff agreement with the Trump Administration—one that could reposition Argentina as a key U.S. ally in Latin America.

Argentina and the U.S.: Zero-Tariff Trade Deal in the Works

According to Argentine media reports citing sources inside the Milei administration, both governments have agreed in principle on a trade deal that would eliminate tariffs on up to 80% of Argentina’s exports to the U.S., with the exception of strategic raw materials like steel and aluminum.

The Argentine government has already compiled a list of 100 specific products that will enter the U.S. market duty-free under the agreement.

This deal not only signals stronger bilateral ties but also reflects a broader ideological and policy alignment between Milei and Trump on trade liberalization, deregulation, and market-driven growth.

Why the Announcement Is Delayed

While the agreement is reportedly finalized, its official announcement has been strategically delayed.

Sources say President Trump wants to unveil the Argentina deal after completing his review of tariff adjustments for other nations, expected by August 1st.

The timing is key: Trump reportedly plans to highlight Argentina as a “model partner” in the region—especially in contrast to countries like Brazil, which has aligned itself with anti-dollar BRICS strategies.

A Tale of Two Trade Policies: Argentina vs. Brazil

The Trump administration’s favorable treatment of Argentina starkly contrasts with its recent 50% tariffs imposed on Brazil, citing anti-U.S. rhetoric, censorship policies, and legal actions against ex-President Bolsonaro.

Argentina’s loyalty to the U.S. dollar system and liberalized economy appears to have earned it preferred trade status.

Meanwhile, over 20 countries have already been hit with unilateral U.S. tariffs ranging from 10% to 50%, while key players like the European Union still lack formal agreements to avoid similar penalties.

Strategic Implications for the Region

This Argentina deal—if formally announced—could:

• Redefine regional trade alliances

• Weaken BRICS influence in Latin America

• Incentivize alignment with U.S. financial leadership

Trump’s strategy is clear: reward allies, punish rivals, and showcase trade deals as evidence of American economic dominance in a shifting global landscape.

Jonathan Gould Confirmed By Senate As OCC Chief In a ‘Crypto Comeback’

In a landmark development for U.S. banking and digital assets, Jonathan Gould has been officially confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the new Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in a 50-45 party-line vote, with Republicans in favor and Democrats opposed.

Crypto-Friendly Regulator Returns

Gould’s confirmation is drawing significant attention from both the crypto and traditional banking sectors due to his prior regulatory leadership and forward-thinking views. He previously served at the OCC in 2019, a period marked by new federal guidance enabling crypto-related banking activities.

His return is being hailed as a potential “crypto comeback” inside the U.S. financial system.

Targeting De-Banking and Political Risk Games

During his March 2025 Senate Banking Committee hearing, Gould pledged to confront politically motivated “de-banking” practices.

“Reputation risk is too often used as a political pretext,” Gould argued, advocating instead for objective standards like litigation exposure and AML compliance.

This stance could reshape access to banking for crypto firms, many of which have been marginalized under vague “risk” labels in recent years.

Backing Risk-Taking and Innovation

Gould stressed that banks must be empowered “to engage in prudent risk-taking,” criticizing a post-2008 regulatory culture that treats all risk as unacceptable.

He warned this mentality restricts credit, chokes innovation, and undermines financial system resilience.

This marks a stark contrast to the Biden-era OCC, particularly under Acting Comptroller Michael Hsu, who treated crypto as a potential systemic risk and often cited the 2008 crisis as a cautionary analogy.

A Crypto Veteran at the Helm

Crucially, Jonathan Gould previously served as Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Comptroller under Acting Comptroller Brian Brooks—a known crypto advocate.

It was during this era that the OCC approved key innovations like:

• Federally chartered fintech and crypto banks

• Crypto custody services

• Stablecoin reserve account authorizations

Many of those pivotal regulatory actions bear Gould’s signature, affirming his deep knowledge of the digital asset space and regulatory frameworks that support it.

Outlook: Crypto Re-enters the U.S. Banking Conversation

Gould’s appointment is widely viewed as a green light for greater clarity and openness toward crypto within the federal banking system.

“Many digital asset activities are clearly legally permissible,” Gould affirmed, and signaled support for their “safe and sound” integration.

With the Trump administration, GENIUS Act momentum, and now a crypto-savvy OCC chief, the stage appears set for a resurgence of blockchain innovation inside regulated finance.

BRICS in 2026: How PM Modi Plans to Redefine the Group’s Global Role

At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 7, 2025, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled his sweeping vision for the bloc’s future when India assumes the BRICS chair in 2026. Modi’s plan aims to reshape BRICS into a strategic platform for innovation, sustainability, and emerging economies leadership.

Modi’s BRICS Chair Goals: Redefining Global Influence

A New Meaning for BRICS

One of the most headline-grabbing moments at the summit was PM Modi’s unveiling of a redefined acronym for BRICS:

“Under India’s BRICS presidency, we will work to define BRICS in a new form. BRICS will mean Building Resilience and Innovation for Cooperation and Sustainability.”

This new definition reflects India’s intent to recalibrate the bloc toward inclusive innovation, economic cooperation, and sustainable development—an evolution from its original geopolitical posture.

India’s 2026 BRICS chairmanship is already being welcomed by fellow member states, with many praising the emerging economies-first framework Modi continues to champion.

Global South: Still a Top Priority

Modi stressed continuity with India’s 2023 G-20 leadership, where developing nations were placed center stage. He reaffirmed that BRICS 2026 will extend this focus, prioritizing voices from the Global South in global decision-making forums.

“Just as, during our G-20 chairmanship, we gave priority to the issues of the Global South... during our BRICS chairmanship, we will take this forum forward in the spirit of people-centricity and humanity first.”

India is doubling down on its commitment to uplift underrepresented regions, reinforcing its role as a bridge between the Global South and global governance structures.

AI Governance and Technological Diplomacy

Technology—and especially AI—will be a key pillar of India’s BRICS presidency. Modi signaled that India intends to lead AI governance frameworks while fostering responsible innovation.

“We in India believe in AI as a tool to enhance human values and capabilities. Guided by the mantra of ‘AI for All’, India is actively using AI in many sectors.”

India’s focus will be on striking a balance between tech advancement and ethical safeguards, framing BRICS as a venue for responsible digital governance in the emerging global AI economy.

“We believe that AI governance, addressing concerns and encouraging innovation should both receive equal priority.”

Post-Pandemic Solidarity and Health Security

Reflecting on the COVID-19 crisis, Modi highlighted the need for multilateral health cooperation, advocating for joint responses to global crises.

“The COVID pandemic taught us that viruses do not come taking visas, and solutions, too, are not chosen by looking at passports. The solution to common challenges is possible only through joint efforts.”

India’s BRICS leadership will therefore prioritize cross-border health initiatives and crisis coordination to bolster resilience in emerging markets.

Looking Ahead: India’s Vision for BRICS 2026

Modi’s multi-dimensional plan signals a strategic evolution of the BRICS mission:

• From political alignment to economic innovation

• From passive cooperation to proactive leadership

• From slogans to systemic reforms in AI, health, and trade

With India at the helm, BRICS is poised to become a platform of influence for the Global South, tackling the world’s most urgent challenges with unity, innovation, and shared purpose.

Coffee with MarkZ and Mr. Cottrell. 07/11/2025

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 everyone and Mark and mods and Mr. C!

Member: Happy Friday everyone ….looks like everything is lining up!

Member: As long as we are in that line…..lol

MZ: There really is so much stuff coming together at one time.

Member: Feels like we are finally moving off of “stuck!

MZ: It sure does…..feels like jumping off of “stuck.

Member: Any good Bond news? I hear all banks are now Basil 3

MZ: Still huge expectations from 3 different bond sources for this weekend. They claim they have finished all paperwork and will get their funfing…..crossing my fingers. But with the bank wiring system down this weekend…I expect we won’t get news of that until at least Monday.

Member: With closed banks and them stopping wire transfers what does that mean for our timing?

MZ: Banks are not necessarily closed this weekend…just closing the wiring and transfer capabilities. But if the changes are just in the bank wiring system…..why are so many government agencies closing from July 11 through the 14th?  Example from the VA.gov……(Mark shows a screenshot)  VA.gov is closed for maintenance the 11th through the 14th.

MZ: It is interesting that many government organizations and offices are upgrading at the same time they are upgrading the Fednow system?  Fednow is a tool….it can be used for fiat or asset backed currency. And we will need a safer way to move money after this big event.

Member: As far as the VA site. they do control our disability direct deposit payment

Member: My small bank in Texas sent me a notice yesterday about the wiring system changes this weekend.

MZ: Along with Basel 3 which started a week or so ago. This makes the banks keep a higher level of assets.  Before banks held less than 2% of the value of all deposits. Now with Basel 3 they need to hold a higher level of assets to back our deposits….in case of bank runs ect……

Member: silver is now……38.38 comex

Member:  Dow is down 270

Member: xrp and bitcoin taking off. wish the iqd would follow suit.

MZ: “ Despite the Baghdad and Erbil agreement , Demonstrations continue in Kurdistan and the loss of credibility among the Kurdish people”  the people are still rising up in the Kurdish region forcing a decision. They believe the Barzani family has been stealing from them for a very long time. Kurds want a change and they have taken to the streets.  

MZ: “ Iraqi oil surpasses Brent and Texas on the global stock exchange” Basra average crude has recorded $71.68 per barrel. Saleh who is a financial advisor for Sudani once said that any prioce over $60 a barrel was workable. They are positioning well for a change of value.

Member: 3 days ago Frank said Iraq has over 1000 tons of gold

Member: 2 different Iraqi Vets told me they saw veins of gold exposed in the desert . ..

Member: I am wondering if redemption centers are working this weekend?????

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Fri. 11 July 2025

Compiled Fri. 11 July 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Possible Timing of the Global Currency Reset and Restored Republic:

Judy Note: From what I can figure out from the below information, the EBS and three day Worldwide Media Blackout begins for those in Asia and Europe on Tues. 15 July to Thurs. 17 July and for those in the Americas on Wed. 16 July to Fri. 18 July. A 10-day total global shutdown follows and completes in America around Sun. 28 July.

Sun. 6 July 2025 Quantum Financial System was set to go live.

Mon. night 7 July 2025 the U.S. Treasury and Department of Defense (DoD) (allegedly) gave final authorization for payments through the Global Currency Reset.

On Friday 11 July 2025, at 7pm ET the current Fedwire® Funds Service FAIM wire format will end. When the Federal Reserve opens Sunday July 13, 2025 at 9pm ET (business date is Mon. 14 July) the new ISO® 20022 format supersedes. Any wires in the FAIM format will be rejected by the Federal Reserve. This implementation will bring changes to current wire terminology, requirements, wire types and fields.

On Mon. 14 July at 8:33 pm EST: (Tues. 15 July 2025 at 03:33 UTC Universal Time which is 8 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, or Mon. 14 July 8:33 pm EST), the Bank Currency Reset to gold/asset-backed currencies called Operation Chrysalis, (allegedly) goes live. Treasury nodes will switch from mirrored to primary control, which will make all old banking rails read-only. If a payment processor doesn’t handshake within the first 11 milliseconds, its ledger will be frozen until a manual audit clears it.

Late Mon. 14 July EST Banks worldwide reset value of different nation’s currencies (allegedly) completed.

During the EBS everyone worldwide will be (allegedly) called into Redemption Centers in their area where they will set up their own bank account or Financial Wallet over the StarLink Satellite System.

Friday 18 July 2025 UTC (Mid East and Europe) Around Fri. 18 July (US) the Global Currency Reset new currency values (allegedly) becomes public worldwide. Each country that takes part gets its first draw in twelve-hour chunks. Fiat leaves in the same heartbeat. Don’t wait for the news to confirm it. The change in value shows up first in energy prices, then in food prices, and finally on mainstream tickers. Tier 5 (the general public) will begin the process of gaining access to their Financial Wallets on the Quantum Financial System. GESARA Unleashed: Debt erasure has begun. Mortgages, student loans, credit wiped. QFS absorbs the Fed. Offshore DS trillions repatriated. Patriot-run banking replaces DS finance.

~~~~~~~~~~

Global Currency Reset and Financial Situation:

Thurs. 10 July 2025 Bruce:

Iraq PM Sudani was called by President Trump to announce the new Iraqi Dinar Rate on Sat. 12 July or he would raise tariffs.

Today Thurs. 10 July a Redemption Center leader said that there was no currency rates on the screens.

Notifications could come out Fri. with exchanging starting on Mon.14 July.

When you call in for your appointment they will connect you to a Redemption Center in your Zip Code. You will set your appointment with the person you will be working with. They will give you choice of three times for your appointment.

You will be given a Quantum Card that you use to move funds from your Quantum Account into your bank account.

Increases in SS, R&R payments was still possible during the month of July.

There are over 9,000 Redemption Centers across the US.

Availability of Med Beds will be done pretty quickly after the RV. If you have Zim and a dire need you will be put up front. Each Med Bed center has two Med Beds that you will be put in according to need.

Did you notice the tariffs he did put on you when he hit everybody else with tariffs was minuscule?  But he's sending out a bunch of letters now and you're on that list.  Why?  Because you haven't raised the value of your currency...As soon as you're ready to come out and float and be part of the international world with some reality...and [Trump] will remove the 30%.

Mnt Goat   Any move on the part of the Central Bank of Iraq to restrict the citizens in the use of the dollar and more use of the dinar is yet another move towards monetary sovereignty for Iraq... Now they have ditched the dollar, the parallel market is done and they are going back to sole use of the Iraqi dinar as their main currency within the country. This is exactly how it was before the 2003 invasions and the hyperinflation conversion to the three zero notes and the use of the currency auctions (sole use of the US dollar to pay for imports). Yes, these days are almost over.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Friday Morning 7-11-25

American Magazine: Iraq Quietly Re-Enters International Trade
 
Money and Business   A report by the American economic analysis magazine Procurement Magazine
examined the significant economic and geopolitical benefits and returns of the Iraqi Development Road initiative, extending from the Grand Faw Port to the Turkish border.
 
The report noted that it will be a viable alternative to other trade channels,  competing with them in terms of shorter distances and lower costs,  transforming the country into a regional logistics hub while creating a multi-source economy beyond oil alone.

The report notes that Iraq's Development Road project represents a transformative $17 billion infrastructure initiative aimed at connecting the Gulf to Europe.
 
With global shipping facing challenges stemming from regional instability and bottlenecks such as the Suez Canal,  Iraq is quietly redefining its role in international trade.
 
This logistics corridor,  stretching from the Grand Faw Port in southern Iraq to the Turkish border,
represents a strategic alternative that will reshape supply and transportation chains between Asia and Europe.
 
This major project has been described as "one of the most important infrastructure projects in Iraq since the 1920s."
 
This faster route delivers direct benefits to procurement by  enabling faster supply routes,  reducing storage costs, and  improving responsiveness to market changes.
 
The global importance of Iraq's development route has been highlighted amid the ongoing Red Sea crisis, exacerbated by conflicts in the Middle East, where shipping delays have become commonplace.
 
In this context, the Iraqi land corridor offers a practical alternative.
 
In recent weeks,  truck drivers from Poland and Germany have completed journeys from Europe to the Gulf via Iraq in just ten days,   less than half the time required by sea through the Suez Canal.
 
The journey from Turkey to Kuwait now takes just seven days, and digital border crossings have reduced waiting times by 92%.
 
The TIR (Terrestrial International Transports International) system, which ensures the safe and efficient movement of goods across borders, is already operational, enhancing the flow of cross-border procurement and supply chains.
 
Hamad Al-Hakim, a transport infrastructure expert at the University of Baghdad, told the Middle East Observer earlier this year:
 
“The development road is expected to become a vital trade corridor, not only for Iraq but for the entire region.

By connecting the Gulf to Europe via Turkey,  it will serve as a new Silk Road,  revitalizing ancient trade routes and  promoting economic integration.”
 
This corridor provides a practical alternative to the Suez Canal, meaning  greater route   diversification and a  reduced risk of disruption, thus  ensuring more reliable supply chains.
 
At the heart of the Iraq Development Road project is the Grand Faw Port, currently under construction in the city of Al-Faw.
 
This deep-water port features the world's longest breakwater, at 14.5 kilometers long, and is expected to    handle 7.5 million containers annually, capable of  receiving the world's largest container ships.
 
A 1,200-kilometer road and railway extend from the port to Turkey, and the project is expected to be fully operational by 2028.
 
In addition to the transportation infrastructure, the project plans to develop at least ten new cities along the railway route, along with several industrial zones and logistics centers. The development of these areas will provide new opportunities for local supply.
 
The development road is not just a logistics project; it represents a geopolitical transformation,
charting Iraq's transformation from a war-torn country to a pivotal regional link.
 
The project is supported by Turkey, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates,
who recognize its potential to boost regional trade and reduce reliance on vulnerable maritime routes.
 
Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani said of the project:
 
"The Development Road Project represents a crucial step towards building a  more stable and prosperous Iraq, based on a  diversified economy and enhancing regional cooperation with neighboring countries."
 
Türkiye's participation is pivotal, as it represents the northern endpoint of the corridor,
which will connect to Europe via the cities of Mersin and Istanbul.
 
"The project provides a catalyst for economic prosperity that can benefit the entire region," said Ranj Alaaldin, a fellow at the Middle East Council on International Affairs.

As global trade networks seek to bolster their resilience in the face of geopolitical volatility,
 
Iraq is proving to offer not just a backup plan but potentially a major new artery for trade.
 
This project will redraw the region's economic map, transforming Iraq into an alternative trade artery at the heart of Eurasia.
 
This means transforming the country from an importer of opportunities to an exporter of corridors,
creating a diversified economy that moves away from its reliance on oil alone.

Iraq’s Oil Reserves Surpass 145 Billion Barrels 
 Iraq   Amr Salem   July 10, 2025   97   The Iraqi Minister of Oil, Hayan Abdul-Ghani, and other officials during their participation in the 9th OPEC International Seminar in Vienna, Austria.
 
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The most recent figures for Iraq’s oil and gas reserves were publicly presented as part of the Iraqi government’s efforts to draw international investment to develop its hydrocarbon resources and play an important role in global energy markets.
 
During the 9th OPEC International Seminar in Vienna, the Austrian capital,  Iraqi Oil Minister Hayan Abdul-Ghani announced that  Iraq’s proven reserves exceed  145 billion barrels of oil and  over 132 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
 
Iraq’s oil and gas deposits represent untapped energy potential, and they provide Iraq with an opportunity to play a critical role in maintaining the world’s energy stability, according to Abdul-Ghani.
 
Abdul-Ghani stressed that guaranteeing energy security in the next years will need a firm commitment from governments to support all sorts of energy projects.
 
Fossil fuels continue to be a key element in meeting the world’s growing energy demand,
as well as a critical driver for supporting infrastructure expansion and clean and sustainable energy projects, particularly in developing countries that require economic assistance to develop critical sectors such as health, education, and basic services.
 
Abdul-Ghani stressed that ongoing investment in oil and gas production projects is critical to ensuring global energy stability and inclusive economic growth.

The current level of investment does not match predicted demand,
particularly given the continued growing population globally and the ongoing industrial expansion.
 
The Iraqi oil minister urged governments to provide adequate financing to achieve an equilibrium in securing supplies from traditional energy sources like oil and gas and investing in sustainable energy.  

Additionally, Abdul-Ghani recommended setting up shared sovereign funds, a risk guarantee scheme, and  tax breaks to encourage private investment in energy projects. https://www.iraqinews.com/iraq/iraqs-oil-reserves-surpass-145-billion-barrels/  

Customs: Five Transit Flights Successfully Passed Through Iraq Under The TIR Agreement.
 
Yesterday, 15:44  Baghdad - INA - Mohammed Al-Talibi   The General Authority of Customs announced today, Wednesday, the successful passage of five transit flights through Iraq in accordance with the TIR Agreement, while  indicating that all land transit ports have been approved by the International Road Transport Union.
 
The Director of Transit at the General Authority of Customs, Ihab Talib Khalifa, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The electronic lock system was applied to nine experimental flights coming from Umm Qasr towards the dry port," indicating that
 
"the monitoring was for drug shipments after the issuance of a decision to monitor drug shipments
from their entry into the country until their arrival at the dry port affiliated with the Central Region Directorate in Baghdad at the General Authority of Customs." 

He explained that  "the shipments were tracked using a GPS system installed on an electronic lock that secures the container," noting that
 
"the purpose of this matter is to  limit smuggling and  ensure the safe arrival of drug shipments for distribution, and to   activate the role of oversight  under the direction of the Director General of the General Authority of Customs, as we are about to introduce and track other types of shipments, including chemicals." 

He continued, "The transit issue has been activated and the international TIR agreement has been implemented.
 
Five successful flights were received and reached their destination country by passing through Iraq,which was the transit corridor." He emphasized, "This work will continue to enhance Iraq's role in international trade, as well as Iraq's strategic regional location.

Work on development is also ongoing." 

He explained that  "through purely Iraqi efforts, and with the cooperation and logistical support provided by the  Border Ports Authority from a technical standpoint, the  National Data Center affiliated with the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, and the  support of all officials,  all land transit ports have been submitted to the International Road Transport Union, and  all of them receive transit trucks, in addition to the ports designated for the entry of pharmaceutical shipments at the present time."

He pointed out that "the TIR system will expand in the near future, stage by stage, to include shipments of chemical materials."  https://ina.iq/ar/economie/238237-.html    

Losing Privatization
 
Economic 2025/07/10  Yasser Al-Mutawali  Any talk of privatization during this period is a losing and useless matter because it is too late. Twenty years have passed since important calls to privatize idle and losing companies and factories. Why? To understand  the meaning of privatization with a simple definition,
 
it is the transfer of idle government or public factories and plants that were and still are a burden on the working budgets to the private sector to      revive them and      operate them
 
after the management of these government factories was unable to restart them and make them productive,  after a disastrous failure faced by those administrations  under the pretext that the production costs are high and they are unable to achieve them, and the reason was certainly
 
Paul Bremer's policy of opening up the market without addressing the effects of indiscriminate imports on domestic production resulted in loss-making industries.
 
These factories and companies continued to consume budgets without producing any output,
leading to disguised, flabby unemployment that has been, and continues to be, a burden on the state.
 
Economic experts have called for its privatization, convinced that the private sector is capable of operating it and making it productive and profitable.
 
An article by my colleague Thamer Al-Haimus caught my attention,
in which he raised the issue of privatization and titled it "National Privatization."
 
As someone who is interested in economic affairs and has followed the stages of challenges that the Iraqi economy has gone through,  I find that merely thinking about privatization is nothing more than an invitation to loss.

 
The reasons are many and varied,
 
     foremost among them is the passage of 20 years without any benefit with the accumulation of losses, and
 
     secondly, the decline in the productive life of these factories and companies has been eaten away by time, and
 
     thirdly, they, the factories, have become unfit to keep pace with the great development left behind by globalization and the third technological revolution, followed by the
 
     fourth, the science of technology, robotics and artificial intelligence. So, what privatization?
 
Are we talking?
 
The technological and technical development achieved by China and some of the major industrial countries has reached an unimaginable level.
 
So what is the point of privatization in an age of modern technology and future jobs?
 
These companies and factories have become old and have gone out of service automatically without any decision, and the need dictates how to liquidate them and benefit as much as possible.
 
Some of these sites are being invested in modern production and service fields that are in line with the nature of the stage.
 
That is why I titled this article “Lossy Privatization.”
 
Therefore, the liquidation must be studied and organized according to basic needs.
 
Based on the above, the state-private partnership (PPP) approach represents a reasonable model of partial or participatory privatization,  a model that is currently prevalent worldwide without the state losing its assets.
 
This model maximizes   production,  productivity, and the  efficiency of technological development and
     financing by involving market forces in national industrial activity.
 
However, the country needs to enact a law on state-private partnerships, which remains a hot topic of debate in the House of Representatives to this day.   https://alsabaah.iq/117220-.html

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Morning 7-11-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Dollar Supremacy Threatened: The U.S. Bets Big on Stablecoins to Halt Global De-Dollarization

As global confidence in the U.S. dollar continues to erode, the United States is making a bold play: stablecoins. With inflation-ridden emerging markets drifting toward alternative currencies and geopolitical rivals advancing multipolar monetary models, Washington is now pivoting to digital finance as a last line of defense.

Dollar Weakens Despite High Rates, Tariffs, and Sanctions

The numbers paint a stark picture. The dollar just marked its worst semester since 1973, with over a 10% drop in value, according to ABC News. Even high Treasury yields are failing to entice investors. A viral post from Global Markets Investor summed up the sentiment:

“The dollar continues to fall despite high yields on Treasury bonds. There may no longer be enough demand for American assets. This calls into question its role as the world reserve currency.”

The dollar's share of global foreign exchange reserves has slipped from 70% in 2000 to just 55% today, according to Sygnum. While Washington responds with tariffs—most recently 50% levies on BRICS and anti-dollar economies—those same moves risk weakening international trust.

Even legendary investors like Warren Buffett have warned of a dollar in decline, with Robert Kiyosaki, Arthur Hayes, and Donald Trump echoing fears of a monetary collapse.

Enter the GENIUS Act: The U.S. Stablecoin Strategy

To counter this erosion, the U.S. is pushing forward a digital policy anchored in blockchain: the GENIUS Act. Backed by Trump, David Sacks, and Scott Bessent, and passed in the Senate, the legislation provides a regulatory framework for dollar-pegged stablecoins.

These digital dollar proxies are rapidly becoming a geopolitical tool. Their strategic appeal? Offering economic stability in inflation-stricken emerging nations, where local currencies are crumbling.

“Global demand for dollar stablecoins is a geopolitical opportunity to maintain US monetary dominance.”
— Sygnum report

Institutions like Fireblocks and Sygnum are already building instant settlement networks with stablecoins. Meanwhile, countries like the UAE are experimenting with dirham-backed stablecoins, highlighting the global momentum.

But not everyone is on board. In April, Italy’s Finance Minister warned that U.S. stablecoin policy may pose greater risks than tariffs—a reflection of growing European unease with Washington's digital power projection.

A Bandage or a Backfire? The Limits of the Stablecoin Gamble

While stablecoins offer short-term utility, they may be masking a deeper systemic decline. The Sygnum report cautions:

“If the decentralized economy expands, dollar dominance can be reinforced by stablecoins. However, their impact will remain limited without massive adoption in Southern countries.”

At its core, the stablecoin strategy doesn’t fix budget deficits, geopolitical mistrust, or U.S. debt dependency. In fact, widespread stablecoin usage could accelerate the visibility of dollar weakness—broadcasting it to a global audience in real time.

Meanwhile, the BRICS Quietly Advance a Multipolar Order

While the U.S. pursues dominance through digital dollars, the BRICS alliance (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) is quietly developing multi-currency trade systems, with aims to bypass the greenback altogether.

Although the 2025 BRICS summit notably omitted any formal de-dollarization plan, the group continues to explore alternatives to U.S.-led monetary infrastructure—including local currency settlements, sovereign digital currencies, and tokenized trade mechanisms.

Key Facts & Figures

• 📉 Dollar share of global reserves: down from 70% (2000) to 55% (2025)

• 🧾 GENIUS Act: passed by Senate, establishes rules for USD-backed stablecoins

• 🌍 BRICS strategy: focus on regional trade settlement systems, not dollar replacement

• ⚡ Fireblocks & Sygnum: deploying stablecoin-based instant settlement networks

• 🚨 Italy warns: stablecoins pose “a greater danger than tariffs”

Final Thought

Stablecoins might extend the life of the dollar, but they cannot rebuild global trust or reform fiscal realities. As even Elon Musk warns of a looming U.S. debt crisis, it's increasingly clear: digital fixes can’t patch structural cracks.

What began as a tool of stabilization could ultimately highlight the monetary fragmentation the U.S. is trying to avoid.

Ripple Picks BNY Mellon to Back RLUSD Stablecoin Amid $500M Surge

Ripple has officially partnered with BNY Mellon, the oldest U.S. bank, to custody reserves for its RLUSD stablecoin, marking a major moment for institutional adoption of digital assets. In just seven months, RLUSD has surged past $500 million in market cap, with Ripple rapidly expanding its institutional reach and regulatory alignment.

Wall Street Backs Ripple’s Stablecoin

The partnership between Ripple and BNY Mellon represents a leap forward for RLUSD's credibility and regulatory posture. BNY Mellon will act as the primary custodian of RLUSD’s reserves, which are fully backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars and Treasuries.

“As primary custodian, we are thrilled to support the growth and adoption of RLUSD by facilitating the seamless movement of reserve assets and cash to support conversions.”
— Emily Portney, Global Head of Asset Servicing, BNY Mellon

The move strengthens Ripple’s pitch to regulators and institutional players, sending a strong message: Ripple is playing by the rules—and winning.

RLUSD Rockets to $500M Market Cap

Launched in December 2024, RLUSD has seen explosive growth in a short time, quickly emerging as a key player in the U.S. stablecoin race. It was built for real-world payments and XRP interoperability, and it’s already being used across RippleNet’s enterprise and liquidity solutions.

Ripple’s approach to full collateralization and transparency has positioned RLUSD as a reliable choice amid increasing global scrutiny of stablecoins.

Ripple Applies for U.S. Banking Charter

Ripple isn’t stopping at partnerships. The firm has applied for both a U.S. national banking charter and a Federal Reserve master account—moves that would allow Ripple to:

• Hold customer reserves directly with the Fed

• Access FedWire and other central bank services

• Deepen integration with traditional banking infrastructure

This marks a major institutional play and reflects Ripple’s broader ambition to bridge crypto and traditional finance.

Stablecoin Summer: A U.S. Crypto Renaissance

With Congress advancing the GENIUS Act and Trump’s administration easing restrictions, a U.S.-led crypto resurgence is in full swing. Ripple’s RLUSD is riding this wave, joining the likes of Amazon, Uber, Airbnb, Apple, and Walmart, all reportedly exploring stablecoin integrations.

This “Stablecoin Summer” could reshape the way digital dollars move through the economy.

Swiss Banking Giant AMINA Adds RLUSD Support

Ripple’s global expansion is also accelerating through AMINA Bank, a Swiss institution regulated by FINMA. AMINA is now offering custody and trading services for RLUSD via its secure, bank-grade digital platforms.

This brings RLUSD to Europe’s institutional clients, reinforcing its role as a trusted global digital dollar.

What’s Next?

With the BNY Mellon partnership live, a banking charter pending, and global traction rising, Ripple’s RLUSD may soon cross the $1 billion mark in market cap.

If current momentum holds, Ripple could soon set the standard for regulatory-compliant stablecoins in the U.S. and beyond.

India Distances Itself From BRICS to Secure Trade Deals With the U.S.

In the face of rising geopolitical tensions and newly imposed U.S. tariffs, India is subtly distancing itself from BRICS to preserve its economic relationship with the United States. By reaffirming its commitment to the U.S. dollar, India is making it clear: it has no immediate plans to pursue de-dollarization alongside its BRICS partners.

India Moves to Avoid Trump’s Tariff Threats

With former President Donald Trump back in the spotlight and pushing aggressive tariff policies, India is navigating cautiously. According to Bloomberg, Indian officials are proactively communicating to Washington that they are not undermining the greenback in global trade. This strategy is seen as a bid to remain exempt from Trump’s escalating tariffs.

Trump's approach has already been demonstrated. On Wednesday, he imposed a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods, just two days after the BRICS 2025 summit, where both India and Brazil played key roles.

“Trump is unhappy with some BRICS members (India) who have been talking about an alternate reserve currency,”
— Mohan Kumar, Envoy to the WTO

India has consistently clarified that it supports local currency trade, but does not endorse abandoning the dollar as a reserve currency—drawing a sharp line between trade facilitation and geopolitical challenge.

India Seeks Favor With U.S. to Strengthen Bilateral Ties

Indian trade officials are working hard to finalize favorable trade agreements and avoid falling under Trump’s protectionist radar. The goal: secure economic deals and avoid retaliatory tariffs that could harm its export sectors.

In contrast to Brazil’s vocal opposition, India is positioning itself as a strategic partner to the United States. Trump’s Vice President, J.D. Vance, recently praised India’s economic potential and emphasized the strategic importance of the alliance.

“The fate of the 21st Century is going to be determined by the strength of the United States and India partnership,”
— Vice President J.D. Vance

This public endorsement signals a growing bond between the two countries, even as BRICS faces internal contradictions regarding de-dollarization and alternative reserve systems.

Key Developments

• 🇮🇳 India reaffirms support for USD in global trade to avoid Trump’s tariff crackdown

• 🇺🇸 Trump imposes 50% tariffs on Brazil, showing seriousness in punishing anti-dollar policies

• 🌐 India draws a line between local currency settlements and de-dollarization efforts

• 💬 VP J.D. Vance calls India a vital U.S. ally for shaping the 21st-century economy

• 🤝 New Delhi remains active in securing trade deals and maintaining economic stability

Final Thought

India’s strategic pivot shows how even BRICS members are not united on de-dollarization. As Trump’s economic pressure grows, national interests are reshaping alliances. For India, economic pragmatism is winning over ideological alignment—choosing U.S. trade over BRICS confrontation, at least for now.

Tishwash:  American magazine: Iraq quietly re-enters international trade

A report by the American economic analysis magazine Procurement Magazine examined the significant economic and geopolitical benefits and returns of the Iraqi Development Road initiative, extending from the Grand Faw Port to the Turkish border.

The report noted that it will be a viable alternative to other trade channels, competing with them in terms of shorter distances and lower costs, transforming the country into a regional logistics hub while creating a multi-source economy beyond oil alone.

The report notes that Iraq's Development Road project represents a transformative $17 billion infrastructure initiative aimed at connecting the Gulf to Europe. With global shipping facing challenges stemming from regional instability and bottlenecks such as the Suez Canal, Iraq is quietly redefining its role in international trade.

This logistics corridor, stretching from the Grand Faw Port in southern Iraq to the Turkish border, represents a strategic alternative that will reshape supply and transportation chains between Asia and Europe.

This major project has been described as "one of the most important infrastructure projects in Iraq since the 1920s." This faster route delivers direct benefits to procurement by enabling faster supply routes, reducing storage costs, and improving responsiveness to market changes.

The global importance of Iraq's development route has been highlighted amid the ongoing Red Sea crisis, exacerbated by conflicts in the Middle East, where shipping delays have become commonplace. In this context, the Iraqi land corridor offers a practical alternative. In recent weeks, truck drivers from Poland and Germany have completed journeys from Europe to the Gulf via Iraq in just ten days, less than half the time required by sea through the Suez Canal.

The journey from Turkey to Kuwait now takes just seven days, and digital border crossings have reduced waiting times by 92%. The TIR (Terrestrial International Transports International) system, which ensures the safe and efficient movement of goods across borders, is already operational, enhancing the flow of cross-border procurement and supply chains. Hamad Al-Hakim, a transport infrastructure expert at the University of Baghdad, told the Middle East Observer earlier this year:

 “The development road is expected to become a vital trade corridor, not only for Iraq but for the entire region. By connecting the Gulf to Europe via Turkey, it will serve as a new Silk Road, revitalizing ancient trade routes and promoting economic integration.” This corridor provides a practical alternative to the Suez Canal, meaning greater route diversification and a reduced risk of disruption, thus ensuring more reliable supply chains.

At the heart of the Iraq Development Road project is the Grand Faw Port, currently under construction in the city of Al-Faw. This deep-water port features the world's longest breakwater, at 14.5 kilometers long, and is expected to handle 7.5 million containers annually, capable of receiving the world's largest container ships. A 1,200-kilometer road and railway extend from the port to Turkey, and the project is expected to be fully operational by 2028. In addition to the transportation infrastructure, the project plans to develop at least ten new cities along the railway route, along with several industrial zones and logistics centers. The development of these areas will provide new opportunities for local supply.

The development road is not just a logistics project; it represents a geopolitical transformation, charting Iraq's transformation from a war-torn country to a pivotal regional link. The project is supported by Turkey, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, who recognize its potential to boost regional trade and reduce reliance on vulnerable maritime routes.

Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani said of the project: "The Development Road Project represents a crucial step towards building a more stable and prosperous Iraq, based on a diversified economy and enhancing regional cooperation with neighboring countries."

Türkiye's participation is pivotal, as it represents the northern endpoint of the corridor, which will connect to Europe via the cities of Mersin and Istanbul.

"The project provides a catalyst for economic prosperity that can benefit the entire region," said Ranj Alaaldin, a fellow at the Middle East Council on International Affairs. As global trade networks seek to bolster their resilience in the face of geopolitical volatility, Iraq is proving to offer not just a backup plan but potentially a major new artery for trade. This project will redraw the region's economic map, transforming Iraq into an alternative trade artery at the heart of Eurasia. This means transforming the country from an importer of opportunities to an exporter of corridors, creating a diversified economy that moves away from its reliance on oil alone.  link

Tishwash:  Next Monday, the Federal Court will consider two lawsuits related to the payment of salaries to Kurdistan Region employees.

The Federal Supreme Court is scheduled to hold its first session next Monday (July 14, 2025) to consider two lawsuits related to the payment of salaries to employees in the Kurdistan Region. 

In the first lawsuit, filed against Federal Finance Minister Taif Sami, the plaintiffs demanded “to ensure that the Federal Ministry of Finance continues to pay salaries in the Kurdistan Region on a monthly basis and on the specified dates, without regard to disputes between the federal government and the regional government due to the interpretation of the federal general budget law or any other reasons.”

According to the text of the lawsuit, the request included issuing a judicial order obligating the Federal Ministry of Finance to pay the salaries of employees, retirees, martyrs’ families, and social welfare beneficiaries in the region “immediately,” starting this month and until the resolution of this lawsuit.

In the same context, the court is considering another lawsuit, also without pleading, filed against the Prime Minister and the Federal Minister of Finance, each in his official capacity.

In their statement of claim, the plaintiffs demanded “a ruling to keep the salaries of employees in the Kurdistan Region away from political conflicts and actual agreements.”  link

Tishwash:  Iraq launches project to issue local electronic payment cards

 Iraq has launched a project to issue a local electronic payment card, aiming to enhance financial trust between the public and the government. This is part of Baghdad's efforts to strengthen its digital infrastructure and provide secure and reliable electronic payment solutions that support the national economy.

The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed - in an official letter addressed to all banks and electronic payment companies - that this national system for local electronic payment cards will be implemented gradually, and that the card identifiers (BIN) and application identifiers (AID) will be issued exclusively by the Central Bank.

The cards represent an additional local option for use within Iraq exclusively in Iraqi dinars. The bank emphasized that they do not replace or restrict existing international cards such as Visa Card and MasterCard, but rather complement the financial system and provide a national alternative, according to the bank.

Release date

Government economic advisor Alaa Al-Fahd expects the national electronic payment card to be launched before the end of 2025, as part of the Central Bank of Iraq's efforts to implement comprehensive financial and banking reforms.

Al-Fahd told Al Jazeera Net that this national card will achieve several key objectives, most notably improving the quality of financial services and reducing fees. It will be a purely local card, he emphasized, noting that it will not replace existing international cards, such as Visa and MasterCard, but will work in tandem with them to enhance the options available to citizens.  link
