Tishwash:   Oil Companies Signal Readiness to Resume Exports via Iraq-Türkiye Pipeline Pending Binding Agreements

7/14/2025   ERBIL — 

The Association of the Petroleum Industry of Kurdistan (APIKUR) announced Monday that its member companies are prepared to immediately resume oil exports through the Iraq-Türkiye Pipeline (ITP), pending the conclusion of binding agreements with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Government of Iraq (GoI).

In a statement, APIKUR welcomed the intensified negotiations between the KRG and Baghdad aimed at resolving the long-standing suspension of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region. The talks seek to secure a framework that would guarantee payment certainty and recognize the existing contractual rights of international oil companies (IOCs) operating in the Region.

On July 12, representatives from APIKUR member companies, along with other IOCs active in the Kurdistan Region, participated in a high-level meeting with KRG and GoI officials. During the meeting, the companies expressed readiness to restart exports as soon as agreements are finalized that reflect each company’s legally binding production sharing contracts and address outstanding payment arrears.

“All payments must be made promptly and transparently,” APIKUR stated, “either in cash or through the transfer of each company’s entitlement share of oil ‘in kind,’” emphasizing that terms must be acceptable to both the IOCs and the KRG.

“APIKUR member companies stand ready to resume exports as soon as written agreements are executed that honor our existing contracts which are governed by international law,” said APIKUR spokesperson Myles B. Caggins III. “APIKUR has always firmly held that our members’ production sharing contracts must be honored in every respect and members have never participated in any meetings with any governmental body suggesting otherwise.”

The announcement comes as pressure mounts on Baghdad to find a sustainable resolution to the oil export impasse that has significantly impacted the Kurdistan Region’s economy and broader energy markets. While no exact timeline was provided, both Baghdad and Erbil are currently engaged in intensive talks to reach a near-term agreement.

Oil exports through the ITP have been suspended since March 2023 following a ruling by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) that halted independent Kurdish oil sales. The ongoing negotiations aim to restore flows under a framework that satisfies both legal and commercial concerns.  LINK

Tishwash:  Iraq signs an agreement with the American company HKN to increase oil production in the Hamrin field.

The Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced on Tuesday the signing of an agreement in principle between the North Oil Company and the American company HKN to develop the Hamrin oil field.

Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and Minister of Oil Hayan Abdul-Ghani affirmed the ministry's commitment to cooperating with reputable American, Western, and other international companies to develop oil fields, optimize gas investment, and maximize production capacity in support of the national economy.

This came during his patronage and attendance of the signing ceremony of the agreement to invest and develop the Hamrin field.

Abdul Ghani said that the ministry seeks to raise the field’s production rates to 60 thousand barrels per day, in addition to investing (45-50) cubic meters of associated gas to supply power generation stations with fuel, noting that the Hamrin field is one of the producing fields and the current production rates are (20-25) thousand barrels per day, despite the economic and security challenges.

He pointed out Iraq's aspirations for joint cooperation with reputable American companies, explaining that there are numerous negotiations for investment in the oil, gas and energy sectors.

The signing ceremony was attended by the Ministry's Undersecretaries, the Chargé d'Affaires of the US Embassy, the Prime Minister's Advisor, and a number of Directors General at the Ministry's headquarters.

US Chargé d'Affaires Stephen Fagin said, "We are pleased to be attending the signing ceremony today at the Iraqi Ministry of Oil. We are also pleased that an American company is investing in Iraq, and we would like to see more business with Iraq."

For his part, the Director General of the North Oil Company, Amer Khalil, said that the agreement signed would serve as a basis for signing a development contract later, noting that the contract aims to develop all oil wells in the field and qualify personnel, and contributes to securing gas fuel to operate power plants and employ Iraqi workers.

In turn, HKN Vice President Matthew Zeiss said: "We are very proud to be working and cooperating with the Ministry of Oil. Our goal is to develop the Hamrin field to its full potential, utilize Iraqi capabilities to operate and operate at 80% capacity, and develop the local community in the operating area." link

Tishwash:  Between IMF recommendations and Baghdad's ambitions... Iraq plans a new economy

Prime Minister's advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Monday that the government's reform policy has not deviated from the recommendations of the International Monetary Fund, while explaining that the government seeks to transform the rentier economy into a diversified, productive economy.

“Despite the significant financial exposure to oil revenues, which has made the financing of public spending, especially investment, dependent on oil price fluctuations and the oil asset cycle, as well as the pressure of employment in the government sector, which has absorbed the state’s resources without creating parallel productivity in the real economy, these are facts that put pressure on the growth paths of the rentier economy.

However, it can be said that Iraq possesses promising economic components if they are employed within a realistic and gradual development vision,” Saleh said in a statement to the official media, followed by “Al-Mutalaa”.

He added, "Strengthening the non-oil sector requires a real shift from a rentier economy to a diversified productive economy, something the current government is seeking to achieve within the framework of its government program.

The reform policy currently being adopted by the government has not departed from the recommendations of the International Monetary Fund, which are repeated in most of its meetings, official gatherings, and reports."

He pointed out that the government program approved by the Council of Representatives in October 2022 serves as a guide and vision that has been implemented in the work of the Iraqi reform government.

This has been embodied in the transformations in the country's economic policy, despite the heavy social and economic legacy accumulated over the past years, such as stalled projects, thousands of employment contracts with the government that lead to permanent employment, and the poverty alleviation program, which required reaching two million families in the social welfare budget. He explained that:

 “The government has paved its way with the non-oil economy in an exceptional way since it announced that it is a government of services, as it began implementing dozens of service infrastructure projects that were suspended, including starting to build one million housing units and hundreds of school buildings, hospitals, bridges, roads, electricity and water networks, and announcing a partnership program, especially in the industrial and energy fields, with the private sector, by granting the private sector sovereign guarantees to interact in technologically advanced industrial investment, without neglecting the agricultural support policy that provided sufficient security from the production of grain crops.

This is what indicated the decline in unemployment to 13 percent after it was 17 percent, in addition to the high stability in the general price level, which did not exceed 3 percent.”

He continued, "The government is proceeding with banking structural reforms without interruption, in addition to its successes in bringing Iraq into the digital age by improving digital payment systems, and the progress achieved in the gas sector and its exploitation within the development of the energy sector and natural resources, all of which constitute key factors for sustainable economic growth, which reflects the stability of Iraq's credit rating, with the adoption of the Development Path Strategy as a program to achieve the goals of generating a leading economic sector in development outside the oil sector, to shape the coming economic future in sustainable development in our country without interruption." link

Collapse-Proof: Ancient Strategies for a Failing Future

Miles Harris:  7-14-2025

What collapses first when systems fail?

When money freezes, food disappears, and digital identity breaks, most people will be unprepared. But history shows a different kind of survivor—those who lived on the margins, not through power, but through skill, community, and self-reliance.

This video explores how peasants outlived empires and what their forgotten strategies teach us about resilience today.

From selective resistance to practical decentralization, we ask the hard questions: What still works when the grid fails?

What part of you survives without apps, banks, or state approval?

This isn’t paranoia. It’s pattern recognition.

 Most people won’t see it coming. But those who do have time to adapt, connect, and build a life that no system can fully control.

Real escape isn’t found on a map. It’s found in the skills you carry, the people you trust, and the life you choose to live.

Clare:  19,000 barrels are lost between Baghdad and Erbil...and Al-Marsoumi proposes dividing them.

7/13/2025- Baghdad

Economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi said on Saturday (July 12, 2025) that the current oil dispute between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region does not deserve to turn into a complex crisis, noting that the core of the dispute revolves around only 19,000 barrels of oil per day.

Al-Marsoumi said in a social media post, followed by Baghdad Today, that “the oil minister indicates that the dispute is limited to 19,000 barrels per day, while the regional government says it needs 65,000 barrels, while Baghdad offers to provide it with 46,000.”

Al-Marsoumi added sarcastically, "This isn't a difficult problem. It can be solved very simply. Take ten from Baghdad and ten from the region, and (may God have mercy on your father)," calling for a swift settlement to end the suffering of the region's employees who are awaiting their salaries and continue to pray for someone to contribute to resolving the crisis.   LINK

Clare:  The two Kurdish parties issue a joint statement...an agreement on Baghdad

7/14/2025  - Erbil

The two Kurdish parties, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), led by Masoud Barzani, and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), headed by Pavel Talabani, held a meeting on Tuesday, during which they agreed to continue negotiations and dialogue to resolve the issue of employee salaries and other issues.

A joint statement by the two parties, received by Shafaq News Agency, stated that after discussing and analyzing the political, economic, and social dimensions, the two sides agreed to intensify efforts to resolve the problem and provide salaries to employees of the Kurdistan Region, within the framework of the constitution, through joint cooperation between the two sides.

Another part of the meeting was devoted to discussing strengthening relations between the Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), overcoming challenges and obstacles, and protecting the Kurdistan Region and its achievements. 

The attendees stressed the need to unify positions between Kurdish and Iraqi political parties to overcome and resolve this problem.   LINK

Frank26   The ISO 20022 is going to allow the Iraqi dinar to play fairly globally with their currency because this is what our president is asking...This was a line item with the IMF and the World Bank on their economic reform to up their global standards...They set up [July] 14th a long time ago. 

Walkingstick  Question: "They Syrian Central Bank has posed Middle Eastern exchange rates but they did not post the Iraqi dinar today.  I believe they know a change is coming.  What do you think sir?"  That's exactly right...Meaning not posted until a new rate is released by the CBI.  The CBI makes the call if and when they want their currency listed for buy, sell or trade.

Rick Rule: “The Only Way to Honor $100 Trillion in Debt Is to Devalue the Dollar”

Daneila Cambone:  7-14-2025

“The circumstance that we existed in from 1980 to 2020 — while it was very pleasant — is over,” says Rick Rule, legendary investor and founder of Rule Investment Media.

Speaking with Daniela Cambone at the Rule Symposium in Boca Raton, Rule warns that the era of low interest rates has ended, and U.S. dollar hegemony is weakening.

“It seems to me that the only way that you honor the nominal value of our obligations… is by devaluing the purchasing power,” he says, pointing to over $100 trillion in entitlements and debt.

“You honor the nominal obligation of Social Security to an old geezer like me by continuing to pay him $4,000 a month... but by devaluing the dollar.”

Looking back at history, Rule points out that in the 1970s, the purchasing power of the dollar “declined by 75%,” and that “the gold price ran 30-fold.”

 He believes the setup is repeating and this time, “we are in a gold and gold equities bull market." No, we're not waiting for it. We're here," he concludes.

What is ISO® 20022 and why does it matter?

KTFA:

Clare: What is ISO® 20022 and why does it matter?

Looking for information on how to prepare for the Fedwire® Funds Service ISO® 20022 single-day implementation on July 14, 2025? Visit the Fedwire Funds Service ISO 20022 Implementation Center.

What is ISO® 20022 and why does it matter?

Standards are so integrated into our world, it’s easy to forget they exist. Yet it’s standards that allow you to call or text anyone even if they have a different type of phone or carrier than you, or withdraw cash from an ATM not owned by the financial institution that issued your card. In the financial services industry, messaging standards are what make it possible for systems and networks around the world to communicate with each other.

Click on the image to download an example of what's in an ISO 20022 message

The financial services industry’s need for a common “language” is what led the Geneva-based International Organization for Standardization to launch its ISO 20022 (pronounced EYE-SO-TWENTY-OH-TWENTY-TWO) messaging standard in 2004. Within the industry, the ISO 20022 messaging standard is used for business areas such as:

• Payments

• Securities

• Trade services

• Cards

• Foreign exchange

Financial services organizations in more than 70 countries currently use the ISO 20022 standard, including The Clearing House’s RTP® 1 network, which has used the standard since the payment platform launched in 2017. Additionally, the Federal Reserve’s Fedwire® Funds Service and The Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS®) are planning to roll out the ISO 20022 standard across their systems.

The benefits of ISO 20022

ISO 20022 messages are vital to instant payments and play an important role in the overall modernization of payment processes. Specifically, they provide a structured and data-rich common language that is readily exchanged among corporates and banking systems. This capability is foundational for innovations like moving from end-of-day batch file processing to real-time payment processing. Additionally, ISO 20022 messages provide the opportunity for enhanced analytics, which can lead to offering valuable new levels of payment services to financial institutions’ customers.

For corporates and financial institutions alike, broad adoption of the ISO format will lead to operational efficiencies, including the ability to exchange detailed remittance information along with a customer payment; support for straight-through processing; and a reduction in errors and the need for manual processing steps.

ISO 20022 and the FedNow® Service

Broad industry adoption of the ISO 20022 messaging standard and the benefits of its highly structured data made it the logical choice for the FedNow Service, the Federal Reserve’s instant payments infrastructure. And because ISO designed the standard to meet the needs of future innovation, it can support the FedNow Service as it evolves and adds capabilities.

The FedNow Service uses a variety of ISO message types, including for customer credit transfers, requests for payment and interbank liquidity transfers, as well as FedNow system and account reporting messages.

Accessing the FedNow ISO 20022 message specifications

Whether you are responsible for your organization’s FedNow Service integration, preparing to build instant payment products leveraging the FedNow Service, or are a payments processor that will help your clients connect to the FedNow platform, now is the time to familiarize yourself with the FedNow ISO 20022 message specifications.

The Federal Reserve is using the MyStandards® 2 platform to provide access to the FedNow ISO 20022 message specifications and accompanying implementation guide. You can access these on the Federal Reserve Financial Services portal (Off-site) under the FedNow Service. Users will need a MyStandards account, which you can create on the SWIFT website (Off-site). View our step-by-step guide for tips on accessing the specifications.

“I want the United States to be the leader if there’s any kind of gold backing to a currency.” – Judy Shelton.

Watch my conversation with @judyshel from last November — now with over 800,000 views — where she shares powerful insights and untold stories on gold and the dollar.

GOLD TELEGRAPH CONVERSATIONS #1: JUDY SHELTON “I want the United States to be the leader if there's any kind of gold backing to a currency.” -

@judyshel

Economic advisor to former President Donald Trump, Judy Shelton, joins me for a captivating conversation spanning a wide range of subjects. Judy Shelton is a Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and author of the book Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money. She is the former Chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy and former U.S. Director of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. She has testified before the U.S. Senate Banking, Senate Foreign Relations, House Banking, House Foreign Affairs, and Joint Economic Committee.

In our conversation, we explore a series of compelling topics, highlighted by Judy’s riveting career stories, including her interactions with figures like Alan Greenspan, Paul Volcker, and other influential central bankers.

One of the most powerful revelations she shared was Paul Volcker’s frank admission: he had always believed the United States would eventually return to the Bretton Woods system. For those unfamiliar, Volcker was referencing the pivotal moment known as the Nixon Shock in 1971, when President Nixon abruptly suspended the U.S. dollar's convertibility into gold, shattering the foundation of the Bretton Woods system.

At that historic moment in history, Volcker served as the Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Monetary Affairs.

This marked the transition to a pure fiat monetary system. We get into a wide-ranging conversation that covers many topics, which include:

• The US Dollar

• The U.S. National Debt as a Security Threat

 • Federal Reserve's Role in America's debt and Financial Instability

• Historical Perspectives on Monetary Policy

• Potential Return to a Gold-Backed System

 • Comparisons Between Soviet Central Planning and Current Economic Policies

 • BRICS Countries and Global Financial Shifts

• Treasury Bond Backed by Gold and the Potential for Gold Backed Stablecoins

Walkingstick [Iraqi bank friend Aki update]  Iraq has been working on the ISO for about two/three weeks now.  They're telling us it is about to be implemented...on the 14th...Aki was told to go back [to his bank in Dearborn Michigan].  He was waiting for the new exchange rate.  They told him don't move...We believe Aki is now working on the ISO that is about to be released.  Aki is the man in Michigan.  It's his bank.  He will test this ISO platform...ISO deals with many things like federal wires to speed up the transactions of International exchanges, any type of wiring.  This is now moving much faster in a safer protected way.  It is scheduled to be implemented on July 14.

The FALL of Germany - MASSIVE Economic COLLAPSE Explained

Lena Petrova:  7-13-2025

Germany, long celebrated as the economic powerhouse of Europe, is currently grappling with a severe period of stagnation and structural decline.

 Once the undisputed engine of the European Union, its economic health is rapidly deteriorating, raising alarms across the continent and beyond. The nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth has slowed dramatically, with a forecast of just 0.7% growth in 2025—projected to be the slowest in the entire European Union.

Since 2017, Germany’s economy has expanded by a meager 1.6%, a stark and worrying contrast to the EU average of 9.5% over the same period.

Crypto Week Is Here — What Does It Mean for Stablecoin Regulation?
July 14–18: A Legislative Turning Point for U.S. Digital Assets

The U.S. House will vote from July 14 to 18 on three major crypto bills
The GENIUS stablecoin bill is expected to reach President Trump’s desk by July 18 with bipartisan support
New regulations promise clarity for crypto—but Moody’s questions widespread adoption

The U.S. House of Representatives is preparing to vote on three major pieces of legislation next week that could define the future of digital asset regulation in the United States.

While it may be early to declare victory, all indications suggest that a stablecoin measure could be signed into law by August—a long-standing goal of the Trump administration since February.

Crypto companies have long sought clear regulatory guidance that supports innovation. After years of opposing unfavorable proposals and investing millions into pro-crypto lobbying efforts, the industry may finally see those investments pay off.

Crypto Week: July 14–18

Lawmakers have designated the week of July 14 as “Crypto Week,” with a focus on three high-profile bills:

1. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 (Clarity Act)

2. The GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins)

3. The Anti-CBDC Surveillance Act

Initially expected to be bundled together, the GENIUS and Clarity Acts will now receive separate votes. The House Rules Committee is scheduled to review each bill on Monday at 4:00 p.m. ET, with strong bipartisan passage likely.

• The Clarity Act outlines regulatory responsibilities for the SEC and CFTC. It passed the House Agriculture Committee by a 47–6 vote and the Financial Services Committee by 32–19, indicating strong momentum.

• The GENIUS Act would establish the first comprehensive federal framework for stablecoins. Already approved by the Senate, its passage in the House would send it directly to President Trump, likely by Friday, July 18, or the following Monday.

• The Anti-CBDC Act seeks to ban the issuance of a U.S. central bank digital currency. A similar version cleared the House in 2024.

Implications for Stablecoins

If these bills become law, it would mark a significant shift in how stablecoins are treated under U.S. financial law. However, regulatory implementation could take time, as detailed rules would need to be developed and adopted by both agencies and businesses.

A recent Moody’s Ratings report noted that while the GENIUS Act could impact the banking system, stablecoins must offer real advantages over current payment systems to achieve widespread use. The report also cautioned that, without strong issuer incentives, adoption may remain limited.

Democratic Concerns: Conflicts of Interest

Not all lawmakers are aligned. Representatives Maxine Waters and Stephen Lynch have raised concerns over potential conflicts of interest tied to President Trump’s personal involvement in crypto.

Waters stated:

“These bills serve as a brazen stamp of approval for the blatant abuse of power we’re witnessing in real time.”

As Crypto Week approaches, ***the next phase of U.S. crypto regulation may be decided in just days—***with stablecoins at the center of it all.

ISO 20022 Crypto List: XRP, ADA, and Stellar Ready for Fedwire Shift
Fedwire Adopts ISO 20022 Standard as Blockchain-Based Finance Enters the Mainstream

Fedwire adopts ISO 20022 on July 14, 2025
XRP, Cardano, and Stellar positioned to benefit
Could this be a trigger for a new wave of crypto adoption and price surges?

The U.S. Federal Reserve’s Fedwire system—responsible for trillions in real-time interbank settlements—will go live with the ISO 20022 messaging standard on July 14, 2025. This landmark upgrade sets the stage for a major transformation in global finance, with compliant cryptocurrencies like XRP, Cardano (ADA), and Stellar (XLM) poised to take center stage.

What Is ISO 20022—and Why Does It Matter for Crypto?

ISO 20022 is a new global standard for financial messaging that enables richer data, faster settlement, enhanced security, and better regulatory compliance. Already being adopted by major central banks and institutions worldwide, ISO 20022 forms the backbone of the next-gen financial infrastructure.

For crypto, this means that networks already aligned with the ISO standard may gain a first-mover advantage—especially as traditional financial players seek programmable and compliant blockchain settlement rails.

ISO 20022-Compliant Crypto Projects

CryptoPrimary Use CaseISO 20022 Ready?XRPCross-border banking, liquidity YesStellar (XLM)Stablecoin & fintech infrastructure YesCardano (ADA)Decentralized apps, scalability YesAlgorand (ALGO)Enterprise adoption, low fees YesQuant (QNT)Blockchain interoperability YesHedera (HBAR)Enterprise-grade DLT, speed Yes

XRP and Fedwire: A Natural Fit?

XRP has long been recognized for enabling near-instant cross-border payments. With Fedwire now ISO 20022 compliant, Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) platform becomes even more relevant.

Recent data suggests growing institutional interest:

• Spike in XRP wallet creation

• Increasing on-chain transaction volume

• Large financial institutions prepping for blockchain settlement trials

Should U.S. banks eventually explore XRP for Fedwire-compatible settlement, the impact on adoption and price could be dramatic.

Cardano (ADA) in the ISO 20022 Spotlight

Crypto analyst Dan Gambardello has flagged ADA as one of the few fully compliant blockchains under ISO 20022. With Hydra and Mithril scalability upgrades underway, and a new ADA/USD1 stable trading pair launching on Bitrue, liquidity and demand are rising.

According to market analysts:

• Ali Martinez forecasts a rally toward $0.90–$1.20

• Price action suggests a bullish breakout supported by increasing volume

Stellar, Algorand, Quant, and Hedera: Gaining Momentum

• Stellar (XLM): Low-fee payments and stablecoin issuance on a fintech-friendly chain

• Algorand (ALGO): Institutional-grade performance and CBDC trials with multiple central banks

• Quant (QNT): Bridges legacy banking systems with blockchain interoperability

• Hedera (HBAR): High-speed, secure enterprise network backed by Fortune 500 firms

What’s Next? Blockchain Meets Fedwire

With ISO 20022 officially live on Fedwire, the door is open for compliant crypto platforms to begin integrating into the heart of the global financial system.

Analysts predict:

• Accelerated institutional adoption of ISO-aligned cryptos

• Bank trials exploring blockchain settlement layers

• A new era of crypto-powered payments

Conclusion

The adoption of ISO 20022 by Fedwire is more than a messaging upgrade—it’s a structural shift toward a blockchain-integrated financial future. Projects like XRP, Cardano, and Stellar are not only compliant, they’re strategically positioned to benefit from this transformation.

If XRP or similar assets find their way into actual Fedwire settlement flows, the result could be explosive—both in usage and in price.

Asia’s Tokenization Boom Is Shifting Capital Away from the West
Japan, Hong Kong, and Dubai are driving real-world asset innovation with regulatory clarity and global investor appeal

Asia leads the tokenization race with proactive regulation
Japan, Hong Kong, and Dubai are drawing institutional capital
Tokenized bonds, ETFs, and real estate offerings are gaining momentum

Asia’s leadership in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is redrawing the global financial map, as regulatory clarity across Japan, Hong Kong, and Dubai pulls capital away from the West, according to Maarten Henskens, Head of Protocol Growth at Startale Group.

“We’re seeing Western institutions set up Asia-Pacific operations not just to follow capital, but to participate in innovation,” Henskens told Cointelegraph. He highlighted that the region’s diverse yet complementary regulatory approaches are creating fertile ground for global investment and experimentation.

Japan: Regulatory Depth Builds Institutional Trust

Japan’s tokenization strategy is marked by careful and deliberate development, prioritizing institutional stability. Henskens pointed to MUFG’s security token infrastructure as a clear sign of how the ecosystem is maturing.

Under Japan’s Payment Services Act (PSA), stablecoins can hold up to 50% of reserves in low-risk government bonds and term deposits, balancing innovation with investor protection.

Hong Kong: Regulatory Agility Enables Fast Innovation

While Japan builds deep infrastructure, Hong Kong has launched the Ensemble Sandbox, a regulatory innovation hub designed to accelerate experimentation in digital assets.

“Japan is building long-term depth, while Hong Kong is showing how agility can bring experimentation to life,” said Henskens, suggesting the region offers both stability and speed—key ingredients for global investor confidence.

Tokenized Bonds and ETFs Fuel RWA Growth

Across Asia, the surge in tokenized bonds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is helping traditional investors access crypto-linked opportunities. In Japan, real estate security tokens are opening up previously exclusive markets to retail buyers, outperforming even traditional J-REITs in accessibility.

Tokenization is also simplifying fund administration and improving transparency. “This efficiency, paired with improved transparency, could make these products compelling to traditional investors who might not otherwise enter the crypto space,” Henskens noted.

He emphasized that cross-border interoperability will be the next major leap forward. “Seamless and compliant movement of tokenized assets across jurisdictions is essential for scaling adoption,” he said.

Dubai: A New Epicenter for Tokenized Real Estate

Dubai is fast emerging as another key Asian player in the tokenization landscape. The Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) recently updated its frameworks to specifically support RWA tokenization.

According to attorney Irina Heaver, these updates provide a clear regulatory path for launching and trading tokenized real estate. In collaboration with VARA and major developers, the Dubai Land Department recently sold two tokenized apartments, with the offering selling out in minutes. Buyers hailed from over 35 countries, and 70% were first-time real estate investors in Dubai.

A Regional Network Effect Is Underway

“We’re already seeing a network effect,” Henskens said. “Innovation in one jurisdiction sparks progress in another. Different regions may optimize for different outcomes—and that’s a strength, not a liability.”

By building legal and technological bridges across borders, Asia’s tokenization leaders are not only transforming regional finance, but also reshaping global capital flows.

Russia Begins Mega De-Dollarization Drive for BRICS

Russia has officially launched a mega de-dollarization drive aimed at helping the BRICS alliance move away from reliance on the Western financial system. In an interview with RT, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov stated that the Kremlin could suspend transactions in the U.S. dollar at any moment.

Siluanov emphasized that Russia is actively working to make de-dollarization a central tenet of BRICS policy. He described the U.S. dollar as a “third-party currency” that should be avoided in cross-border trade and financial transactions.

Russia Pushes BRICS to Embrace National Currencies

Siluanov urged BRICS nations to conduct trade using their own national currencies, including the Russian ruble, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, and South African rand. He argued that these currencies provide a viable alternative to the Western-dominated monetary system.

“Our BRICS de-dollarization drive would not involve Western financial infrastructure or settlement in currencies of those countries that imposed sanctions on Russia and would secure the New Development Bank from possible risks,” Siluanov stated.

The Minister added that Russia is prepared to suspend U.S. dollar trading as part of this initiative. He said Russian systems “have proven their reliability and independence from Western lending institutions that at any moment, as it turned out, can suspend payments.” Even if U.S. sanctions are lifted, Siluanov emphasized that the dollar would not return as the central reserve currency in Russia’s central bank.

Trade Deals Tied to De-Dollarization Commitment

Russia also plans to link new trade agreements within BRICS to the acceleration of de-dollarization. While China and Iran are expected to support the initiative, India, South Africa, and the UAE may hesitate due to their interest in maintaining U.S. dollar-denominated assets that bolster their GDPs and economic growth strategies.

This move underscores Russia’s ambition to solidify an independent financial architecture for BRICS and reduce systemic exposure to Western monetary influence.

Apple Will Pay Anything for This Crucial iPhone Metal

Apple Will Pay Anything for This Crucial iPhone Metal

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  July 10, 2025

We’ve all heard the legend: there was a beautiful girl, kidnapped, a thousand ships launched, and the mightiest warriors of the ancient world descended upon the city of Troy to win her back.   Obviously this was all a myth. But Troy itself existed. And the Trojan War very likely happened as well. Though not over some pretty girl.

 Instead, the Trojan War likely started as a dispute over scarce resources— then quickly escalated to a full blow shooting (or stabbing/slashing) war.

 And the scarce resource in question? Tin.

 Back in the Bronze Age when the Trojan War was likely fought, tin was the technological linchpin of ancient civilization. Without it, there was no bronze— and thus, none of the era’s best weapons and tools.

 Copper was the other half of the chemical formula, i.e. tin + copper = bronze.

 The Greeks had plenty of copper mines. But the tin component was very scarce— and distant. It came all the way from Central Asia, hauled across the Black Sea, and through the narrow strait called the Dardanelles (modern day Turkey) into the Mediterranean.

And that was only if Troy— the city perched strategically at the mouth of the Dardanelles— allowed the ships to pass.

 This meant that whoever controlled Troy controlled the Greeks’ access to tin. So it’s easy to see why they probably fought a war over it.

 This type of resource competition is common throughout history. But it’s a lesson that has been forgotten over the past 80 years in which global trade has been open, cooperative, and free.

 Today that comity is rapidly deteriorating. Given the trade wars, regional shooting wars, and increasing global tensions, access to certain resources and real assets can no longer be taken for granted.

 Some of these are obvious; oil prices, for example, regularly gyrate based on the potential for supply disruptions. And despite the Left’s absurd fantasies about wind and solar, oil is going to remain critical to modern civilization for the foreseeable future.

 But with nuclear energy emerging as a clear solution to provide cheap, clean energy, uranium—whose production is highly concentrated across just a handful of countries— may become a new conflict point.

 Other resources are less obvious and take a little bit more digging to understand their importance in the global economy— and their scarcity.

 And that includes the forgotten ancient metal tin.

 Tin is the glue that holds the modern world together... almost literally.

 More than 50% of all tin demand today comes from solder, which is used to connect the billions of components on electronic circuit boards. Without solder, there are no smartphones, no electric vehicles, no AI computer chips, no cloud servers, no missile guidance systems.

 The more technology progresses, the more tin is needed; AI growth alone is expected to double tin demand between now and 2028.

 Yet tin is an incredibly small market. Only around $12.5 billion worth was produced last year. Given that the worldwide commodities trade is more than $6+ trillion per year, the tin market is less than a rounding error. It’s minuscule.

 This creates an odd situation. While tin is a critical part of the iPhone, for example, only a few cents worth goes into each unit. And this is typical across the electronics industry.

 So the price of tin could increase 5x or 10x, yet the impact on Apple’s bottom line would be negligible—maybe 50 cents more per phone.

 Apple would still pay for tin at 10x the price. So would every other tech manufacturer.

 In other words, if tin supply tightens, buyers won’t blink… but investors will make a fortune.

 And supply is tightening.

 Classic tin-producing regions have gone offline or become politically unstable.

 With supply tightening and demand rising, just one major Western producer is left to pick up the slack.

 Production has been kept artificially low for years as Cold War strategic stockpiles were drawn down. But those stockpiles are now depleted.

 There is also no substitute metal. And no feasible way to do without it.

Yet demand continues rising—steadily, predictably—year after year.

 A critical metal hiding in plain sight, where even a modest supply crunch could generate enormous returns.

 This compelling supply and demand dynamic is the focus of our latest issue of the 4th Pillar, our premium investment research service.

 The recent July issue— published just last week— features a profitable, growing tin producer in the developed world. The company is debt-free, cash-rich, and trading at just 2.2x earnings—an insane valuation for a company producing one of the world’s most critical tech metals.

 Tin is just one of many examples of the real assets that are absurdly undervalued, with extreme catalysts on the horizon.

 We’ve uncovered similar stories in platinum, oil, and even iron—where supply disruptions and political pressure have created massive mispricings… and massive upside.

 But some our most successful investments over the past year have come in the precious metals sector.

 While central banks have been buying metric tons of gold— driving the price to all time highs— they haven’t been buying gold producers. That’s left many of the world’s best gold and silver producers trading at absurdly cheap valuations.

 We’ve been writing about this for nearly two years, and the results speak for themselves:

• One of our top picks is up 153% in just three months.

• Another surged 146% in eleven months.

• Two more have gained 133% and 51% in a matter of months.

• Most others have delivered steady returns of 27–34%.

Only one has gone the other way—down 27%. But even that company is sitting on strong fundamentals and multiple catalysts— so we believe it’s just even more undervalued.
