Despite The Billions Piling Up In America, Why Isn't Iraq Using Its Money To Save Its Economy? - Urgent
 
Baghdad Today – Baghdad  Despite Iraq's massive financial reserves, estimated at tens of billions of dollars,the question remains:      Why aren't these funds being effectively invested domestically?
 
At a time when the country is suffering from mounting economic crises, fragile infrastructure, and declining productive sectors, the government continues to invest a large portion of these reserves in US Treasury bonds,  financial instruments known for their low yields and long payback periods.
 
While these bonds are internationally classified as safe instruments for preserving value,  experts believe that Iraq's approach to investing its foreign assets has become traditionally rigid, inconsistent with development requirements and inconsistent with the priorities of an economy in urgent need of domestic revitalization.

What increases the sensitivity of this issue is that a significant portion of Iraq's funds are actually deposited in American banks, weakening the country's ability to freely decide how to manage these vital resources.
 
In this context, financial expert Abbas Al-Shatri offers a comprehensive critical vision,  calling for a complete rethinking of Iraq's reserve investment policy and a  shift from a "safe freeze" logic to a "productive investment" logic to  ensure economic security and   achieve sustainable development.  Al-Shatri told Baghdad Today,
 
"Iraq's continued investment of a significant portion of its financial reserves in US Treasury bonds is  an economically unfeasible decision,  given the low returns these bonds generate compared to other investment opportunities that could directly support the national economy." He pointed out that "despite the classification of US Treasury bonds as safe and  internationally recognized financial instruments,
 
Iraq, with its current economic situation, urgently needs to direct its funds toward more dynamic investments, whether through  domestic production projects or  regional investment vehicles that  generate higher returns,  contribute to creating real job opportunities, and  enhance infrastructure."

 Al-Shatri explained that  "excessive reliance on these bonds does not meet Iraq's development needs.
 
Rather, it deprives the economy of opportunities to  diversify sources of income and  stimulate vital sectors such as   industry,  agriculture, and  renewable energy, which are the foundation of any stable and sustainable economic structure."

Noting that "the current fiscal policy tends toward safe freezing rather than productive stimulation," Al-Shatri   called for "a radical reconsideration of the investment policy of Iraq's financial reserves,   moving away from the traditional approach of freezing in low-yielding instruments, and   toward a more ambitious economic vision based on   maximizing returns and  achieving economic security."
 
It is well known that a large portion of Iraq's reserves are   actually held in American banks or  under the supervision of the international financial system linked to them.
 
However, experts believe that Iraq does not actually benefit from these funds in a context that serves its internal economic needs.
 
Rather, it is sometimes restricted by political and financial restrictions that make the investment of these funds governed by external considerations rather than an independent sovereign decision.
 
This reality raises serious questions about the independence of Iraqi investment decisions,  at a time when there is a growing need for more flexible financial policies that can help   protect the economy from global fluctuations and    harness the country's vast financial resources for sustainable development within the country. https://baghdadtoday.news/279403-.html    

The Central Bank Of Iraq Issues New Decisions To Regulate Electronic Withdrawal And Payment Fees.
 
July 24, 2025   Baghdad/Iraq Observer  The Central Bank of Iraq issued several decisions on Thursday regarding  banks, electronic payment service providers, and  cash withdrawal fees.
 
According to a letter issued by the bank and received by the Iraq Observer, “withdrawal fees are deducted electronically, and  citizens do not pay any fees directly to banking outlets.”
 
It also stipulates that  “banks and companies shall compete to provide their services to the public to achieve the public interest and improve service,”  while the book sets a minimum commission.

What Every Millionaire Can Learn From Jimmy Buffett’s Mistake

$275M Inheritance Fight: What Every Millionaire Can Learn From Jimmy Buffett’s Mistake

Angela Mae  Tue, July 22, 2025   GOBankingRates

Renowned singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett died in September 2023, leaving behind a $275 million estate. The bulk of Buffett’s assets went into a marital trust with his widow, Jane Slagsvol, as the main beneficiary. Slagsvol is a co-trustee, along with Buffett’s long-time business manager, Richard Mozenter.

Unfortunately, there’s been a massive legal dispute between Mozenter and Slagsvol over that trust. Specifically, Slagsvol is petitioning to remove Mozenter as co-trustee for three primary reasons.

The first is that he’s failed to generate enough income with the trust’s investments. The second is that he hasn’t kept her abreast of the trust’s various investments, expenses and income. And the third is that, according to her, Mozenter has been “openly hostile” and appears to be working against her best interests.

According to Slagsvol, the trust is estimated to receive less than a 1% return rate — not enough to cover her annual expenses. Along with this, Mozenter received $1.7 million in trustee fees in 2024.

In response to all this, Mozenter also seeks to remove Slagsvol as co-trustee.

If you’re a millionaire, you could learn a few things from the way Jimmy Buffett handled his estate so you don’t make the same mistake.

Choose Your Trustees Carefully

When you have a massive estate, it’s crucial that you choose your trustee — or trustees — carefully. It’s not always enough to pick someone you’ve known for a long time or who you’re married to.

“Choose your trustee like you’d choose a CEO; someone trustworthy, financially literate and emotionally neutral. If you don’t have that person within the family, appoint a professional or corporate trustee,” said Craig Parker, assistant general counsel at Trust & Will and a California state bar-certified specialist in estate planning, trust and probate Law.

With larger, complex estates, having co-trustees can be a good strategy. But you’ll want to make sure they trust one another and work well together. If all else fails, you could name a trust protector who will step in if either trustee can no longer perform their role.

Be Extremely Clear With Your Estate Plan

The importance of being clear with how you want your assets managed and doled out can’t be understated. While Buffett might have believed choosing his wife and business manager as co-trustees was enough, anything that’s left unclear can lead to major legal battles down the road.

“Clear, detailed estate planning is essential. That means establishing a comprehensive trust, updating it regularly and communicating intentions openly with beneficiaries,” said Parker. “Clarity reduces conflict; vagueness invites it.”

$15,000 Gold Instantly! The Big Gold Revaluation Will SHOCK the World

$15,000 Gold Instantly! The Big Gold Revaluation Will SHOCK the World - Craig Hemke & Clive Thompson

Money Sense:  7-24-2025

Global financial experts Craig Hemke and Clive Thompson discuss the recent surge in precious metals and the growing speculation surrounding a potential gold revaluation.

Clive Thompson suggests gold could be revalued to 15,000 dollars, which would likely send silver prices soaring even more.

Thompson says revaluing gold to 15,000 dollars could raise 3.9 trillion dollars, 10% of US debt, without causing retail inflation. According to him, the new money would likely flow into assets like gold, stocks, and Bitcoin.

Three years ago, in May 2022, the Congressional Budget Office forecasted that by 2025, the interest cost of the National debt would rise from 8.3% of government receipts to 12.1%, a nearly 50% increase.

In fact, the actual figures are turning out much worse than the CBO's forecast.

In 1934, the Treasury realised a 2.8 billion dollars profit by revaluing gold. Once again, the same financial sleight of hand is under consideration, but this time on a much grander scale.

 In his outlook, Craig Hemke notes growing talk of gold revaluation, citing symbolic hints like a gold-themed White House post. He recalls Trump's past remarks about potentially remonetizing the US balance sheet by revaluing its official gold reserves.

Concurrently, Hemke compares gold revaluation to the "platinum coin" idea, saying it matters only if the US buys at the new price. If that happened, Thompson suggests this could let the US outpace China in gold reserves.

According to OCC Quarterly Reports, the Federal Reserve system holds over 54 billion dollars in non-compliant gold derivative contracts that would need to be unwound or properly collateralized under full Basel III implementation.

 Market expert Craig Hemke notes that freezing Russia's reserves and removing it from SWIFT prompted the BRICS to seek alternatives, fearing a similar action. He notes that this move has weakened global trust in the dollar as supply continues to rise.

Clive Thompson adds that US allies fear becoming "enemies overnight" amid Trump's trade accusations. This uncertainty is prompting nations to reduce reliance on the US dollar.

BRICS nations have been particularly aggressive in building gold reserves, with unofficial estimates suggesting that China alone may hold as much as 35,000 tons of gold within state-controlled banks, far exceeding their officially reported 2,292 tons.

 Similarly, Russia's true holdings are estimated to be closer to 12,000 tons rather than their officially reported 2,330 tons.

$40,000 Gold: The Final Reset Has Already Begun

$40,000 Gold: The Final Reset Has Already Begun

GoldCore TV:  7-24-2025

Could the United States revalue its gold reserves to $40,000 per ounce?

This once-unthinkable idea is now gaining credibility as global debt balloons, economic power shifts toward #BRICS, and the dollar’s dominance begins to erode.

In this episode, we explore: Why gold is once again at the heart of global monetary strategy

 How the BRICS nations are systematically de-dollarizing trade

 The deep contradiction between America’s strong dollar and its deindustrialization

The Federal Reserve’s detailed manual on monetizing gold certificates

How a revaluation of U.S. #goldreserves could inject $10 trillion without adding new debt

 We also examine the inflationary consequences of such a move, the idea of the “Great Taking,” and why holding physical gold could be the only way to preserve sovereignty in an unstable system.

With insights from Simon Hunt and others, we look ahead to what the next few years may bring and how individuals can prepare.

Good AfternoonDinar Recaps,

India Confirms BRICS De-Dollarization Efforts Amid Trump’s Pressure 

India’s position on the global de-dollarization trend has now been confirmed at the official level, signaling growing momentum within BRICS to diversify away from the US dollar — despite tariff threats from the Trump administration.

India Acknowledges Currency Shift Talks Inside BRICS

At a recent media briefing, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal acknowledged that BRICS nations are in active talks about using local currencies for trade settlements and building interoperable cross-border payment systems.

“Cross-border payments, yes, BRICS have talked about local currencies, but de-dollarisation is not something that is there on the agenda,” Jaiswal said.

While discussions about a BRICS common currency continue, India has made it clear it is not backing a rapid transition away from the dollar, nor a supranational BRICS currency—yet.

Trump Administration Applies Economic Pressure

President Trump’s response to BRICS’ monetary shift has been confrontational. His administration has threatened:

• A 10% tariff on any nation participating in "Anti-American policies" like de-dollarization;

• Broader economic consequences for attempting to bypass the dollar in international trade.

These threats came just after Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a BRICS investment platform, heightening tensions between Washington and BRICS capitals.

India’s Strategic Caution

Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar reinforced that:

“India has never been for de-dollarization. Right now, there is no proposal to have a BRICS currency.”

India has experimented with rupee-based trade settlements, particularly with Russia, but the rupee’s volatility—falling from 73 to 85 per USD in five years—adds to hesitation around moving further.

Moreover, there are concerns that a BRICS currency could magnify China’s dominance in the bloc, especially given China’s outsized influence in the New Development Bank and growing use of the yuan in settlements.

India’s Balancing Act

India continues to walk a tightrope between:

• Benefiting from Western capital and tech, vital to its long-term development goals;

• Supporting multilateral alternatives to the US-dominated financial order.

While over 50 countries now use the yuan, rupee, and ruble in bilateral trade, the US dollar still dominates around 54% of all global transactions.

Conclusion: Pragmatism Over Revolution

India’s BRICS policy clearly favors incremental monetary diversification, not abrupt financial revolution. While quietly working to enhance non-dollar trade pathways, India is prioritizing economic stability and strategic autonomy.

Its position reveals a deeper truth: even within BRICS, de-dollarization will be a gradual, politically sensitive process, shaped by each nation’s unique dependencies and geopolitical priorities.

7 Frugal Money Habits That Could Destroy Your Finances

7 Frugal Money Habits That Could Destroy Your Finances

Cynthia Measom   Wed, October 16, 2024  GOBankingRates

If you find yourself constantly looking for ways to save every single penny, you might be overlooking the bigger picture. Frugality, while an admirable trait, can lead you to make choices that might seem smart in the short term but actually cost more in the long term regarding finances, time and quality of life.

 “Letting the concept of frugality take over life so you are neglecting the bigger picture for small savings can backfire,” said Allison Sanka, accredited financial counselor, financial coach and principal and founder of Journey Financial Wellness. “That immediate dopamine hit of saving a few cents that makes you feel like you’re making progress towards your financial goal — like paying off debt or saving — can actually cost more if you do the math.”

Here are seven frugal habits that aren’t actually good for your finances.

Driving Miles to Different Stores To Get Good Deals

Sanka said that while the savings you might gain by driving from store to store to save a few dollars on sale items versus shopping once a week at one store might seem like a good idea, it’s not. Instead, she said any savings will likely be wiped out when you figure in the cost of your time, gas and wear-and-tear on your vehicle.

Driving To Another Town To Save on Gas

Sanka also said that driving to the next town to save 10 cents a gallon on gas could be more costly than the savings. For example, if your car holds 15 gallons, and you need 14 gallons to fill it up, you’ll save $1.40. Arguably, that could add up to over $140 over the course of the year if you fill up a couple of times a week, but you also have to think about whether that savings is worth your time, gas expenditure to get there and back and the wear-and-tear on your car.

Totally Depriving Yourself of Something You Enjoy

“You will not get rich by not ever buying a $4 coffee and depriving yourself of something you enjoy from time to time,” Sanka said. “Again, it’s about balance; instead of coffee out every day, try buying coffee as a treat on Monday mornings to get you going for the workweek. Then you can look forward to it as a treat.”

Buying Stuff Only Because of the Low Price

Sanka said that focusing on the low cost of an item instead of the need is a mistake that’s not good for your finances. “I see people in the frugal community buying things simply because they’re 75% off or they have a coupon for it (sometimes a marketing tactic to get you to spend) even if it’s not a need,” she said. “If you spent $5 on something you don’t really need, you spent $5 too much.”

Buying Items in Bulk When You Don’t Really Need Them

JUDY SHELTON SAYS WE NEED TO OPEN UP THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND MOVE TO A DIFFERENT CONSTRUCT

Well said Judy Shelton

Russian precious metals exports to China almost doubled in the first half of the year… $1 billion. Watch closely.

BREAKING NEWS: U.S. TREASURY SECRETARY SAID THE ENTIRE U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE NEEDED TO BE EXAMINED AS AN INSTITUTION

Wow. Big things are happening.

“What we need to do is examine the entire Federal Reserve institution and whether they have been successful…”

Source: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/21/treasury-secretary-bessent-calls-for-a-review-of-the-entire-federal-reserve.html

Former Federal Reserve Chairs Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen jointly warn that the United States’ pressure against its current chief could fuel inflation. The irony here… Everyone has now arrived at the dance.

The brilliant Judy Shelton made a sharp point on CNBC, exposing the dysfunction at the Federal Reserve by highlighting its staggering $900 billion in unrealized losses on its own portfolio.

Gold Telegraph:  Last year, the Federal Reserve had unrealized losses of $948 billion on its bond holdings. Who is counting at this point?

The Treasury Secretary of the United States said this on the replacement of Jerome Powell at the Federal Reserve: “There are several female regional Fed bank presidents and then there are some fantastic women outside the Fed.” Let’s go Judy Shelton

Asian local-currency bond sales reach RECORD. Interesting considering the European bond demand that is happening… The trend is real.

Japan’s 40-year government bond auction generated the weakest demand in 14 years. Look at what happens when the Bank of Japan is no longer at the table buying up everything aggressively. This is why I have always called this situation… “Tragic comedy.”

Imagine observers on Mars seeing the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency… then noticing:

– 125% debt-to-GDP
– 6% annual deficits
– Frequent use of sanctions
– Threats of tariffs
– A country representing just 4% of humanity

What do you think they would say? @elonmusk

https://twitter.com/i/status/1948151895887122872

We talked about:

– Why central banks are quietly hoarding gold
– The slow-motion fall of the dollar
– Yield curve control and debt reflexivity
– How mining is becoming geopolitical power
+ much more.

Chris doesn’t hold back.

Watch here:  https://twitter.com/i/status/1948124819423482343

GOLD TELEGRAPH CONVERSATION #9 CHRIS LEAVY "If you landed here from Mars and were told the reserve currency comes from a country with 125% debt-to-GDP, 6% deficits as far as the eye can see, sanctions countries, threatens tariffs, and represents just 4% of humanity — you'd ask: why is that the reserve currency?" Chris Leavy is a seasoned voice in global finance.

 He began his career in traditional asset management and rapidly rose to oversee billion-dollar mandates at firms like OppenheimerFunds, Morgan Stanley, and BlackRock. Having served as a senior executive inside some of Wall Street’s most powerful institutions, Chris brings a rare insider’s perspective on how capital, power, and policy intersect.

In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore the future of the U.S. dollar, the return of gold as a strategic asset, central bank behavior, debt reflexivity, de-dollarization, and the geopolitical significance of mining and supply chains in a multipolar world.

 Chris makes a compelling case that dollar hegemony is no longer a feature of strength, but inertia. He explains why central banks are quietly preparing for a tokenized, post-dollar system — with gold increasingly at the center. He also shares personal turning points, including why 2022 marked a shift in his worldview, how mining is becoming a geopolitical lever, and why quantitative easing may not be “free” the next time around. Thank you to Chris for joining me on this episode.

A state-backed Chinese gold producer is emerging as the front-runner to acquire Barrick’s Tongon gold mine in northern Ivory Coast. This deal would be valued at up to $500 million. China continues to swallow up gold deposits.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 24 July 2025

Compiled Thurs. 24 July 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Wed. 23 July 2025 DEBRIEFING: “HIGH OCTANE SPECULATION” & THE NEW US TREASURY (Rumors)

What if I told you… the Fed building IS the new U.S. Treasury? And they’re already printing new sovereign money under our noses?

Let’s break the spell: They just spent $2.5 BILLION turning the Eccles Building into a fortress — complete with blast-proofing, deep excavation, and infrastructure more fitting for a wartime financial command bunker than a “central bank HQ.”

Meanwhile…The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is (allegedly)  quietly installing cutting-edge currency presses — capable of handling asset-backed notes, polymers, hot-foil security, and high-throughput sheets.

Think: new system, new currency, new rules.
EO 13961? Active.
EO 13818? Active.

Legal cover for asset seizures, continuity-of-government transitions, and a reset of monetary authority outside the old Fed structure.

And here’s the punchline: The actual U.S. Treasury building? Untouched. Antiquated. Symbolic. But Eccles? It’s been turned into Versailles with a vault. This isn’t remodeling. It’s repurposing.

And when the Fed collapses under the weight of its own lies, guess what’s already locked, loaded, and press-ready? A new U.S. Treasury. A new currency. A new era. They’re not just printing money. They’re printing the future.

Restored Republic

Sun. 20 July 2025: PROTOCOLS, Scott Brunswick:

Protocol #1: All banking-related debts wiped out permanently — including mortgages, loans, and credit cards. This is a reset, not a bailout. The system was illigal from the start.

Protocol #2: Income taxes are being abolished. No more IRS raids, no more wage theft. In its place: a 14% flat tax on luxury items only. Food, medicine, housing — untaxed and protected.

Protocol #3: The IRS is shut down. Its agents reassigned to oversee fair taxation under Treasury authority, not corporate fiat enforcers.

Protocol #4: The Federal Reserve is (allegedly) gone. Its monopoly on money creation has ended. In its place: a gold, silver, and platinum-backed Rainbow Currency, immune to manipulation and printed theft.

Protocol #9: Financial privacy is restored. No more tracking, no more spying. Treasury-issued accounts under QFS cannot be accessed by rogue agencies or foreign banks.

Protocol #11: Humanitarian funding is being deployed. Global projects will be citizen-led, not NGO-controlled. Homelessness, food instability, and educational collapse are being addressed with real wealth and infrastructure.

Protocol #12: Redemption of stolen value. ZIM and other sovereign bonds will be honored. Portions for personal use, portions for global rebuilding.

Walkingstick  The ban on dealing with dollar inside of Iraq that's why the value has been increasing.  Everyone inside of Iraq, all these contractors, everyone is going to use the IQD.  They're about to use it on a different level. The statement that everyone inside of Iraq is about to use the IQD, that's the big one.  That's what's going to boost the value of the Iraqi dinar.  That's what's going to give them purchasing power.  But above all things that's what's going to give Iraqi citizens confidence in their new national currency the IQD. 

Frank26  The financial advisor Saleh have told the Iraqi citizens the difference between the official rate of our currency and the parallel rate is now approaching less than 4% and that indicates you've entered the 'conversion phase'...Do you realize how close we are to what they want to accomplish?  This is monstrous...This is phenomenal what we are witnessing.

Treasury Secretary Bessent Urges Internal Review of Federal Reserve as Pressure Mounts on Chair Powell

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called for a comprehensive internal review of the Federal Reserve, citing concerns over the central bank’s expanding operations and budget amid rising political pressure on Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

In a Bloomberg Television interview, Bessent highlighted the need to reassess the Fed’s institutional scope, warning that its growing mandate risks undermining the core function of monetary policy.

“I believe that it would do Chair Powell a favor, and he would be doing the institution a favor, if he did an internal review—separating monetary policy from everything else.”

Bessent echoed concerns previously raised by Larry Summers, noting that the Fed’s “mission creep” could compromise its independence. Since 2004, the central board’s budget has quadrupled, a shift Bessent says warrants internal scrutiny.

“It is a big, sprawling institution. Every institution needs to examine themselves.”

Political Pressure and Presidential Criticism

The comments come amid mounting pressure from President Donald Trump, who has publicly criticized Powell for refusing to cut interest rates. Trump has expressed a hope that Powell will voluntarily resign, though he stated he does not intend to fire him.

Adding fuel to the debate, renowned economist Mohamed El-Erian recently called for Powell to step down—a position that surprised Bessent but did not overshadow his own call for a review process.

“The Bank of England, after the 2022 rate shock, brought in outside experts to assess what went wrong. That’s the kind of model we could look at.”

Proposed Structure of Review

Bessent emphasized that Powell could oversee the review himself, potentially leading a committee or expert panel. He stressed that the internal review must be credible, warning that a superficial process might require an external examination.

“If the internal review didn’t look like it was serious, then maybe there could be an external review.”

Broader Implications

With financial policy at a crossroads, Bessent’s call reflects a broader debate over central bank transparency, mission clarity, and the Fed’s expanding influence in non-monetary realms. As political scrutiny intensifies and the 2024–2025 rate debate continues, the Fed's internal structure is now under a national spotlight.

Trump’s Presidential Crypto Task Force Set to Deliver Landmark Report July 30

The Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, established under President Donald Trump’s first executive order, is preparing to release its highly anticipated 180-day crypto policy report on July 30—a milestone for the U.S. digital asset landscape.

Key Points to Expect:
• Comprehensive guidance on stablecoin regulation, token classification, and enforcement reform following passage of the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts
• Potential blueprint for building a federal Bitcoin reserve using seized digital assets, not taxpayer funds
• Clear stance against a retail CBDC, citing privacy and trust concerns
• Framework for international cooperation and tax policy updates

“America is now leading the way on digital asset policy,” said Bo Hines, Executive Director of the task force.

From Campaign to Policy

Just three days after inauguration, President Trump signed an executive order establishing the working group, fulfilling campaign promises to make the U.S. “the crypto capital of the world.” Led by AI and crypto czar David Sacks, the task force includes top officials from the Treasury, SEC, CFTC, DOJ, and other federal agencies.

The Bitcoin Reserve Question

One of the most talked-about aspects of the report is the potential recommendation to build a Bitcoin reserve using digital assets already seized by federal authorities.

“This isn’t about buying Bitcoin on the open market, but rather building a secure sovereign crypto reserve drawn from existing assets,” said Monica Jasuja, Chief Expansion and Innovation Officer at Emerging Payments Association Asia.

No Retail CBDC, Clearer Stablecoin Oversight

The group is expected to firmly reject the idea of a retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) due to privacy concerns. Instead, the U.S. will likely promote regulated USD-pegged stablecoins and outline new compliance standards for issuers.

A Step Toward Global Leadership

If the recommendations include a secure and strategic approach to holding crypto reserves, it may position the U.S. as a global leader in sovereign crypto infrastructure, analysts say.

“If done right, this report could deliver the kind of regulatory clarity that makes America the most attractive place for digital finance development,” said Jasuja.

The release of this report will follow a structured review timeline laid out by Trump’s executive order, requiring all agencies to submit input within 30, 60, and 180-day windows respectively.

Tether Eyes Return to U.S. Market Amid Stablecoin Regulatory Shift

Tether, the issuer of the world’s most traded stablecoin USDT, is making significant moves toward reentering the United States as the regulatory landscape for digital assets evolves.

In a new interview with Bloomberg Television, CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed that Tether is “well in progress” with establishing a domestic strategy focused on payments, interbank settlements, and trading.

“We are in the process of building our U.S. presence, but our focus will remain on emerging markets,” Ardoino said Wednesday.

A Controversial Past, But Global Dominance

Tether was previously banned from operating in New York and paid nearly $60 million in 2021 to settle with both the New York Attorney General and the CFTC over misleading claims related to its reserves.

Despite this, Tether remains dominant, with USDT representing 70% of the stablecoin market as of Q1 2025. The company reported $149.28 billion in total assets and $143.68 billion in liabilities, according to its May attestation signed by BDO Italia SpA.

Tether has not yet undergone a formal audit by a Big Four firm, although Ardoino stated that conversations with auditors are ongoing.

U.S. Strategy and Compliance Challenges

Although Ardoino said Tether does not plan to go public, he reaffirmed that the company is working toward compliance with U.S. regulations. Tether's reserves are largely made up of compliant assets, but still include bitcoin and secured loans, which may not meet new U.S. regulatory standards.

In a May interview, Ardoino underscored the company’s broader mission:

“Our customer base is the 30 billion unbanked people who aren’t part of the traditional financial system.”

A New Dollar-Pegged Stablecoin Coming

Tether also plans to launch a new U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin within a year, signaling an effort to align with the GENIUS Act and the new U.S. regulatory framework for stablecoins.

As the U.S. government shifts toward blockchain-based dollar issuance, Tether’s strategic return could reshape the stablecoin sector—especially if it can navigate compliance while maintaining its dominance in emerging economies.
