ISO 20022 Goes Fully Live: A Quiet Revolution in Global Payments

SWIFT’s final cutover retires legacy messaging and ushers in a data-rich financial architecture.

Overview

• SWIFT has officially completed its global transition from MT to ISO 20022, ending decades of legacy payment formats.

• Banks and financial institutions worldwide are now required to use the new standard, expanding data fields, automation capability, and semantic clarity.

• The transition enhances interoperability, creating a unified, machine-readable framework for future digital money systems.

Key Developments

• End of Legacy MT Messages
  SWIFT formally ended MT payment instructions, marking the full adoption of ISO 20022 for cross-border payments, securities, and cash management.

• Higher-Quality Payment Data
  The new format provides structured, enriched data that reduces errors, improves compliance screening, and accelerates settlement speeds.

• Foundation for Next-Gen Financial Technology
  ISO 20022 enables automated reconciliation, faster straight-through processing, and seamless integration with tokenized assets and CBDC infrastructure.

• Global Adoption Momentum
  Banks across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas have been preparing for years, but the final switch marks the first time all major global payment rails speak a common language.

Why It Matters

ISO 20022 doesn’t change currencies directly — it changes the pipes they move through.
By modernizing global payment messages, it lays the groundwork for programmable payments, digital currencies, enhanced liquidity management, and new layers of interoperability that will reshape how value moves across borders.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Finance Infrastructure Modernization

ISO 20022 is becoming the backbone of a redesigned global financial system, enabling central banks, clearinghouses, and commercial banks to operate on a unified data standard.

Pillar 4 — Currency Evolution

The standard’s structured data model is compatible with CBDCs, tokenized deposits, and future cross-border digital currency corridors — positioning it as a foundational layer for emerging monetary architectures.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

IMF Advances Global Digital Money Oversight

New IMF data protocols aim to unify how nations track CBDCs, stablecoins, and crypto-assets.

Overview

• The IMF has completed its first global test run for collecting digital-money data, covering CBDCs, stablecoins, and crypto markets.

• The pilot is part of the G20 Data Gaps Initiative (DGI-3), designed to standardize how countries report emerging forms of money.

• The framework prepares central banks for a world where digital currencies operate alongside traditional fiat.

Key Developments

• Pilot Data Collection Completed
  From July to November 2025, countries tested new protocols for reporting CBDC usage, stablecoin circulation, and cross-border digital transactions.

• Moves Toward Unified Global Reporting
  The IMF is preparing to roll out a permanent, standardized reporting regime, improving visibility over how digital money flows across borders.

• Focus on Systemic Risk & Transparency
  The new framework is designed to detect vulnerabilities early, especially in fast-moving digital asset markets.

• Preparation for Digital Currency Integration
  By harmonizing reporting frameworks, the IMF is laying the technical groundwork for coordinated regulations — and potentially interoperable CBDC systems in the future.

Why It Matters

A standardized global reporting structure for digital money creates the visibility needed for regulators, central banks, and international institutions to manage the growing digital financial ecosystem. This marks a major step toward integrating CBDCs and stablecoins into the core of the global monetary system.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 2 — Diplomacy & Governance

Harmonized digital-money oversight increases coordination between nations and strengthens multilateral influence in shaping the future financial architecture.

Pillar 4 — Currency Evolution

Consistent global reporting makes it easier for CBDCs to become mainstream, accelerating the shift toward programmable and interoperable digital currency systems.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

U.S. Signals Possible Intervention in Venezuela as Terror Designation Escalates Tensions

Rep. Maria Salazar suggests Washington may be preparing direct action amid oil, security, and geopolitical stakes.

Overview

• Rep. Maria Salazar claims the U.S. is “about to go in” to Venezuela, signaling potential military or regime-change action.

• The U.S. has designated Nicolás Maduro’s regime and the Cartel de los Soles as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, dramatically raising the stakes.

• Venezuela’s massive oil reserves and alleged ties to hostile groups are being cited as justification for stronger U.S. measures.

Key Developments

• Salazar’s Warning of U.S. Action
  Speaking on Fox Business, Rep. Salazar said Maduro “understands we’re about to go in,” framing intervention as beneficial to the U.S. economy and national security.

• Oil as a Central Strategic Factor
  Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves. Salazar argued intervention could unlock “more than a trillion dollars in economic activity” for U.S. companies.

• Terrorist Designation Takes Effect
  The State Department’s designation of Cartel de los Soles — allegedly headed by Maduro — places the Venezuelan leadership within the same legal framework as foreign terrorist organizations.

• Military Pressure Rising
  The U.S. has deployed the world’s largest aircraft carrier to the Caribbean, following months of maritime operations targeting suspected drug-smuggling vessels.

• Historical Parallels Drawn
  Salazar compared the situation to the 1989 U.S. intervention in Panama, suggesting Venezuelans would welcome U.S. forces similarly.

Why It Matters

The convergence of military deployment, terrorist designations, and political rhetoric signals a serious escalation in U.S.–Venezuela tensions. If Washington moves toward intervention, it would reshape hemispheric geopolitics, energy markets, and U.S. relations with Latin America — all at a moment when global power balances are already shifting.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 2 — Diplomacy & Peace Architecture

A U.S. intervention would heighten geopolitical fragmentation, accelerate alignment shifts in Latin America, and further test global diplomatic frameworks already strained by multipolar competition.

Pillar 3 — Markets & Strategic Commodities

Venezuela’s vast oil reserves could become a major factor in global energy restructuring. Any U.S.-led regime change could dramatically influence oil production, pricing, and strategic access critical to the emerging financial order.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

5 Brutal Truths About Building Wealth

5 Brutal Truths About Building Wealth

Cindy Lamothe  Mon, November 24, 2025 GOBankingRates

Building wealth isn’t all sunshine and Instagram-worthy moments. While everyone loves talking about side hustles, passive income and shiny financial freedom, the truth is a bit grittier. There are no shortcuts, no magic formulas and, yes, some tough lessons along the way.

Here are some brutal truths about building wealth that will help you in the long run.

1. It’s a Long, Slow Game

“Building wealth is unfortunately about playing the long, slow game,” explained Brett Horowitz, principal and wealth manager at Evensky & Katz / Foldes Financial Wealth Management.

He said most people know someone who struck it rich by buying Apple stock 30 years ago or Nvidia stock 10 years ago. “The truth is that those investors had to sustain long time periods where they either lost money, or barely made money,” he said.

Both companies were mostly irrelevant at some point and investors who held those stocks were extremely fortunate, or proficient, but mostly fortunate, to have made so much money holding those stocks. “Picking individual stocks is often a recipe for failure and the best way to make money is through hard earned saving,” he said.

2. Trading Is Hazardous to Your Wealth

While some may view trading as a way to build wealth, it may not be a good option. According to Horowitz, the more often you trade, the worse you do. “Or as we say ‘your portfolio is like a bar of soap, the more you play with it, the smaller it gets,'” he said.

He noted that overconfidence can explain high trading levels and the resulting poor performance of individual investors. “Our central message is that trading is hazardous to your wealth,” he said.

Horowitz explained that trading typically involves fees and taxes, so the more you trade, the more these costs drag down the portfolio’s return.

3. Your Fear Is Costing You Big

“Tidbits From TNT” Tuesday Morning 11-25-2025

TNT:

Tishwash: The financial reform package supports domestic investment and stimulates the economy.

With a focus on reducing the deficit and increasing non-oil revenues, local investment in Iraq appears to be on the verge of a new phase of growth and prosperity, but the question remains about the sustainability of these policies.

The Prime Minister's economic advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, affirmed that the Iraqi government is pursuing a disciplined fiscal policy that relies on sound management of the deficit and rationalization of public spending, which has strengthened the confidence of the private sector and reduced the level of uncertainty that was one of the most prominent obstacles to local investment.

Saleh said , “The impact of fiscal policy on the volume of local investments varies according to the nature of the sectors. While the energy sectors, especially oil, gas and renewable energies, have the largest share of investment flows due to their attractiveness and profitability, recent years have witnessed a clear shift towards investment in the construction and pharmaceutical industries, as local and foreign investors have begun to pay attention to the growing opportunities in these sectors.”

He added that “the impact of fiscal policy is varied; it is positive on large investment projects through relative financial stability, but it is more influential and effective with regard to small and medium-sized enterprises, as a joint incentive and financing approach has been adopted between fiscal and monetary policy.”

Establishment of Riyada Bank

Saleh pointed out that “the most prominent tools of this approach is the establishment of Riyada Bank as a mixed bank specializing in financing small and medium projects with the aim of mobilizing nearly sixty percent of the unemployed workforce through long-term, easy loans, as it is being established with the contribution of private Iraqi banks and with the direct supervision and support of the Central Bank.”

He then continued, “In addition to cooperation with specialized international organizations, there were also extensive initiatives to provide loans to young people and support individual and group projects under the direct supervision of the Prime Minister within the Youth Initiative.”

Saleh explained that “the success of fiscal policy in reducing the deficit depends on achieving a delicate balance between sustaining macroeconomic stability and providing space for growth and investment. A disciplinary policy without a developmental vision may curb economic activity, while uncontrolled expansionary spending leads to a deepening of the deficit gap.”

Increase in non-oil revenues

“Based on this, financial reform programs work to increase non-oil revenues by expanding customs and tax collection, modernizing legislation, and enhancing public financial digitization to reduce leakage and waste, raise collection efficiency, improve the business environment to encourage the private sector to expand and invest, and raise the efficiency of public spending by adopting performance evaluation standards and linking projects to economic feasibility,” he added.

Saleh concluded his statement by emphasizing that “the success of the current fiscal policy is based on combining fiscal discipline to ensure macroeconomic stability and developmental stimulus to expand the production base and encourage local investment

. Digitalization, improving non-oil revenues, and enhancing private sector confidence are key pillars for strengthening public finances and achieving more sustainable economic growth in the short, medium, and long term.” link

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

Tishwash: Iraq seeks to expand its global economic influence

The Ministry of Trade announced its plans to bring national products to global markets, stressing that “Iraqi industries have reached an advanced level.”

The ministry stated that it “is working to support the Iraqi private sector participating in international exhibitions and showcasing Iraqi products in the food, industrial and commercial sectors, and to enhance the role of the General Company for Iraqi Exhibitions and the Export Support Fund.”

She explained: “The achievements of Iraqi industry have reached an advanced level and have established significant pillars in supporting the export of industrial projects and introducing Iraqi materials into global and Iraqi markets.”  link

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

Tishwash:  Government advisor: Digitalization and increasing non-oil revenues are fundamental to financial reform.

The economic advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed that the Iraqi government is following a disciplined financial policy that relies on sound management of the deficit and rationalization of public spending, which has strengthened the confidence of the private sector and reduced the level of uncertainty that was one of the most prominent obstacles to local investment.

Saleh told Al-Furat News that: “The impact of fiscal policy on the volume of local investments varies according to the nature of the sectors. While the energy sectors, especially oil, gas and renewable energies, have the largest share of investment flows due to their attractiveness and profitability, recent years have witnessed a clear shift towards investment in the construction and pharmaceutical industries, as local and foreign investors have begun to pay attention to the growing opportunities in these sectors.”

He added, "The impact of fiscal policy is varied; it is positive for large investment projects through relative financial stability, but it is more influential and effective with regard to small and medium-sized enterprises, as a joint incentive and financing approach has been adopted between fiscal and monetary policy."

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

China’s Golden Gamble: Quietly Building a Global Finance Powerhouse

Beijing’s aggressive gold accumulation underscores its ambition to reshape monetary dominance — beyond just the yuan.

Overview

• China’s central bank has now purchased gold for 10+ consecutive months, steadily growing its bullion reserves.

• Official gold holdings recently hit ~2,303.5 tonnes, according to data on ETF inflows and reserve reports.

• Chinese gold ETFs are booming, with 164% growth year-to-date, signaling strong domestic investor demand.

• Global diversification motive: These purchases align with Beijing’s push to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar and strengthen its reserve strategy.

• Analysts warn the real total could be significantly higher, with estimations suggesting China may be holding far more gold than disclosed.

Key Developments

• The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) added gold for a seventh month in May, boosting holdings to ~73.83 million fine troy ounces. 

• By August, China extended that streak to 10 straight months, holding ~74.02 million fine troy ounces. 

• As of September, reserve estimates (from external analysts) suggest China added ~15 tonnes, possibly under-reported inofficially. 

• In parallel, Chinese gold ETFs saw record inflows: in Q1 2025, inflows reached RMB 16.7 bn, corresponding to ~23 tonnes added. 

• Data from the World Gold Council shows China’s portion of gold in its reserves is rising, even as global central banks continue strong gold buybacks. 

Why It Matters

China’s systematic gold accumulation is more than just a hedge — it’s a strategic play. By quietly building its reserves, Beijing is positioning itself to reduce dependence on dollar-denominated assets, reinforce its financial autonomy, and potentially validate its currency and geopolitical ambitions in a world where gold retains symbolic and practical power.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Currency Fragmentation
China’s aggressive gold hoard supports its broader de-dollarization agenda. More gold on its balance sheet strengthens its financial sovereignty and reduces the risk of U.S.-led economic coercion.

Pillar 2 — Reserve Reallocation
As China shifts more of its reserves into gold, it challenges the traditional reserve asset hierarchy. This reallocation could spur other nations to rethink the composition of their sovereign reserves and accelerate a global pivot toward hard assets.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Fast-Track De-Dollarization: Russia Now Settles Up to 95% of Trade With China & India in Local Currencies

As BRICS accelerates financial integration, Moscow is shifting nearly all major trade flows away from the U.S. dollar — strengthening the bloc’s parallel monetary architecture.

Overview

• Russia reports that 90–95% of its trade with China and India is now handled in rubles, rupees, and yuan.

• The BRICS bloc continues pushing coordinated de-dollarization, expanding settlement systems and local-currency financing mechanisms.

• Indonesia becomes the newest BRICS member to integrate yuan-based foreign exchange operations, further reducing the role of the U.S. dollar in regional trade.

• The New Development Bank (NDB) is scaling up local-currency loan programs, reducing dependence on Western institutions and SWIFT-linked financing.

• Academic research shows BRICS is building the most significant non-Western financial framework in decades, though the process remains gradual.

Key Developments

• Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister has confirmed that trade with China and India is now overwhelmingly conducted in local currencies, bypassing dollar-denominated transactions.

• BRICS leaders emphasized at their 2025 Summit that local-currency settlement is becoming the bloc’s default practice, not an exception.

• Member states continue expanding alternative payment infrastructure, including:

• Russia’s SPFS system

• China’s CIPS system

• Bilateral currency-swap lines between BRICS central banks

• Indonesia announced it will launch yuan- and yen-based foreign exchange operations, enabling direct settlement without converting into dollars.

• Local-currency usage between Indonesia and China has already reached $1 billion per month — and demand is expected to grow significantly.

• Policymakers across BRICS describe these steps as part of a broader effort to reduce exposure to U.S.-centric financial leverage and sanctions systems.

Why It Matters

This rapid increase in local-currency settlements represents more than a shift in trade mechanics — it signals a fundamental reordering of global financial power. BRICS nations are building the architecture to operate independently of the dollar system, reducing reliance on Western intermediaries and creating a parallel financial world that can operate even under geopolitical strain.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Currency Fragmentation

BRICS is accelerating a structural breakaway from dollar centrality. As more trade settles in yuan, rupees, and rubles, the global monetary landscape becomes more fragmented — and less dominated by a single reserve currency.

Pillar 2 — Financial Sovereignty

By developing their own payment rails, swap lines, and local-currency funding models, BRICS nations are building safeguards against Western sanctions and financial pressure. This move strengthens the bloc’s collective leverage and shifts long-term financial influence away from Washington.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Afternoon 11-24-25

The Central Bank Denies Any Intention To Change The Exchange Rate Of The Iraqi Dinar

Economy | 04:14 - 24/11/2025   Mawazin News - Baghdad:    The Central Bank of Iraq affirmed its support for exchange rate stability, bolstered by ideal levels of foreign currency and gold reserves, while indicating that there is no intention to adjust the Iraqi dinar's exchange rate.

In a statement, the bank said, "As we approach the end of 2025, the Central Bank of Iraq announced significant progress in its strategic objectives related to maintaining price stability.

The inflation rate has fallen to historically low levels, among the lowest in the region, supported by its monetary policies and well-considered measures, despite current economic challenges."

The statement clarified that "Law No. (56) of 2004, particularly Article 1/4/A, clearly defines its core functions in formulating and implementing monetary policy, including exchange rate policy," emphasizing "the absence of any intention to adjust the Iraqi dinar's exchange rate, in line with its central objective of ensuring price stability, an objective that has been successfully achieved in the past period."

The statement emphasized that "the Central Bank continues to support exchange rate stability, bolstered by ideal levels of foreign currency and gold reserves."

It affirmed its "continued commitment to covering all banks' requests for external financing in US dollars and other foreign currencies such as the Chinese yuan, Turkish lira, Indian rupee, and UAE dirham, in addition to the ongoing processing of bank card settlements and personal transfers through MoneyGram and Western Union, as well as cash sales for travel purposes," noting that "there is no pressure on current foreign reserves."

The statement further clarified that "any external statements or opinions regarding changes to the Iraqi dinar exchange rate do not reflect the Central Bank's position and represent speculations aimed at disrupting the market, inciting speculation, and undermining the stability of the national economy."https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270745

Dollar Exchange Rates Rise In Baghdad And Erbil Markets

Monday, November 24, 2025 11:04 | Economy Number of views: 216   Baghdad/ NINA / The exchange rate of the US dollar rose this morning, Monday, in the markets of Baghdad and Erbil.

The selling price of the dollar in the Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya exchanges in Baghdad reached 142,250 dinars per 100 dollars, up from 141,200 dinars yesterday, Sunday.

The selling price in local currency exchange shops in Baghdad's markets reached 143,250 dinars per 100 dollars, and the buying price was 141,250 dinars.

In Erbil, the dollar also rose, with the selling price reaching 141,350 dinars per 100 dollars and the buying price 141,100 dinars. /End   https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1263490

Gold Prices Fell As The Dollar Rose

economy | 11:47 - 24/11/2025   Mawazin News - Follow-up:  Gold prices fell for the third consecutive session on Monday as the dollar climbed to a six-month high, while investors awaited further clarity on the direction of US interest rates.
Spot gold fell 0.3% to $4,055.73 per ounce by 06:36 GMT.

Meanwhile, US gold futures for December delivery declined 0.7% to $4,052.40 per ounce, according to trading data.

"The dollar index has risen to near its highest level in six months, above 100 points, and if it continues to trade above 100 points, there will be further pressure on gold prices," said Gaigar Trivedi, senior research analyst at Reliance Securities.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270733

Oil Prices Fall Amid Peace Efforts In Ukraine

Energy  Economy News – Baghdad   Oil prices fell on Monday, extending losses from last week, as peace talks between Russia and Ukraine moved closer to an agreement, while the value of the US dollar rose.

Brent crude futures fell 14 cents, or 0.22%, to settle at $62.42 a barrel at 01:48 GMT.  U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude also fell 15 cents, or 0.26%, to $57.91 a barrel.

The two benchmark crude oils fell nearly 3% last week, hitting their lowest levels since October 21, amid expectations that the anticipated agreement between Moscow and Kyiv will ease sanctions on Russia, potentially allowing large quantities of Russian oil to return to the markets.  US sanctions against Rosneft and Lukoil took effect on Friday, causing about 48 million barrels of Russian oil to be held up at sea.

On the other hand, the United States and Ukraine said they had made progress in their talks on a peace plan that includes territorial concessions from Kyiv and its abandonment of plans to join NATO, while US President Donald Trump set a deadline of next Thursday to reach an agreement, despite European pressure to formulate better terms.

Any peace agreement is expected to help lift sanctions that have hampered Russian oil exports. Russia was the world's second-largest producer of crude oil in 2024, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The rise of the US dollar also affected energy markets, as a stronger dollar increases the cost of buying oil for holders of other currencies, putting further pressure on prices.   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62640

Iraq Signs Country Program With The United Nations Industrial Development Organization

economy | 06:20 - 24/11/2025   Mawazin News – Follow-up  : Iraq signed the country program with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) on Monday.

A statement from the Ministry of Industry, received by Mawazin News Agency, said that "Iraq, represented by the Minister of Industry and Minerals, Khalid Battal Al-Najm, signed the UNIDO Country Program for Iraq (2026-2030) with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), represented by its Director-General, Gerd Müller, during the UNIDO conference currently being held in Riyadh."

The statement explained that "the program represents a strategic framework aimed at promoting inclusive and sustainable industrial development, in line with Iraq's Vision 2030, the National Industrial Strategy 2024-2030, and the United Nations Framework for Cooperation 2025-2029. The program focuses on diversifying the economy and reducing dependence on oil, in addition to supporting inclusive growth."

The statement continued, "The program also aims to enhance job creation, support the competitiveness of small and medium enterprises, achieve food security and green growth, and contribute to mobilizing public and private sector investments, and harnessing UNIDO's expertise to contribute to industrial development and building a resilient and diversified economy that supports development goals in Iraq."   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270757

Ukraine’s Holos Leader Challenges Trump: Two Big Questions on His Russia Peace Plan

As Geneva talks advance, Kira Rudik says Ukraine needs clarity on how Moscow will actually commit — and whether security guarantees will be enforceable.

Overview

• Kira Rudik, head of Ukraine’s Holos party, expresses cautious optimism over recent U.S.–Ukraine progress on Trump’s 28‑point peace proposal.

• Still, she says Trump must answer two critical questions: 1) how will he persuade Putin to sign? 2) how will security guarantees be made real?

• Rudik warns that past agreements failed: Ukraine trusted assurances before (Budapest Memorandum), but still endured Russian aggression.

• She insists any future security guarantees must be ratified legally, not just be the promise of one leader.

• Ukraine’s sovereignty remains a core concern: Rudik has previously criticized any deal requiring territorial concessions.

Key Developments

• Rudik told Newsweek that a ceasefire, rare-earth minerals deals, and a summit between Zelensky and Putin have been floated — but “there was no step forward from Russia.” 

• She stressed that guarantees must be executable, not just symbolic: “they need not to be the promise of one leader, but actually ratified … so that it will be a promise of the nation.” 

• Drawing on historical precedent, Rudik referenced the Budapest Memorandum, under which Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons — but only received non-binding assurances in return. 

• According to Al Jazeera, some European leaders strongly oppose the plan, arguing that its concessions to Russia could undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty. 

• Key features of Trump’s 28-point proposal include: capping the size of Ukraine’s military, limiting NATO participation, and offering partial security guarantees. 

• According to Foreign Policy, there’s confusion about the plan’s origin — some U.S. senators claim it was more “Russian wish list” than an American-authored peace framework. 

• NBC News reports that the plan was approved at the highest levels, involving Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, Rubio, Jared Kushner, and others. 

Why It Matters

This debate lays bare a core tension in the peace process: Ukraine’s leadership is under pressure to accept a deal while grappling with legitimacy and sovereignty risks. For Rudik and many Ukrainians, the cost of a peace deal is not just strategic — it could be existential. Without strong, enforceable guarantees, any agreement risks being another hollow promise.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 4 — Security Architecture & Governance
Rudik’s demands for legally-binding guarantees underscore the larger rework of global security frameworks. If such guarantees are institutionalized (e.g., through treaties or ratified agreements), they could reshape how post-conflict security pacts are structured in a multipolar world.

Pillar 3 — Geopolitical Realignment
The pressure campaign behind Trump’s plan — combined with multiparty negotiation (U.S., Russia, Ukraine, Europe) — reflects a shift in diplomatic power. Traditional Western security structures may be evolving toward new, more unpredictable alignments.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

ECB Sees Stablecoin Risks as Limited in Eurozone — But Keeps a Watchful Eye

Despite fast‑growing stablecoin markets, Europe’s central bank warns that low local adoption and MiCA regulation act as buffers — for now.

Overview

• The ECB’s latest Financial Stability Review says stablecoin-related risks in the euro area are currently limited.

• Stablecoins are mostly used for crypto trading, not for retail payments or cross-border remittances.

• Retail stablecoin usage is tiny, with only about 0.5% of volume in small transactions (< $250).

• U.S.-pegged stablecoins (like USDT, USDC) dominate, but their exposure into euro‑area markets is limited.

• MiCA regulation is cited as a key mitigant, including bans on interest payments on stablecoin holdings.

Key Developments

• The ECB authors warn that rapid growth could spur systemic risk, especially if cross-border stablecoin issuance evades regulation.

• Their report flags run risk: large stablecoin issuers hold significant U.S. Treasury assets, raising the possibility of “fire sales” in a liquidity crunch.

• Cross-border regulatory arbitrage is a concern, particularly for stablecoins issued jointly by EU and non-EU entities.

• The European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) recommends stronger supervisory cooperation and stricter oversight for multi‑jurisdiction stablecoin issuers.

• ECB President Christine Lagarde has called for firm safeguards on foreign stablecoins, warning that redemptions may favor non-EU issuers.

• Former ECB board member Lorenzo Bini Smaghi argues Europe risks losing financial power if the euro is not better represented in stablecoins.

• The ECB emphasizes that MiCA’s rules — including a ban on paying interest for stablecoin holdings — are critical to limiting disintermediation from banks.

Why It Matters

While stablecoin adoption remains low in Europe, the ECB’s cautious tone reveals a deeper fear: that private stablecoins (especially dollar-pegged ones) could undermine monetary sovereignty and destabilize bank funding. The regulation under MiCA is a preemptive guardrail — but rapid growth and cross-border issuance could still expose vulnerabilities if not carefully managed.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Currency & Financial Fragmentation
Even if euro-denominated stablecoins are minor today, dollar-backed stablecoins could re-route capital into non-European rails. If this intensifies, it would deepen fragmentation in global finance — and challenge the euro’s role.

Pillar 4 — Financial Governance & Regulatory Architecture
The ECB’s call for global regulatory alignment (especially to curb arbitrage) highlights a broader push: to reshape how digital assets are governed. MiCA is only step one — true global coordination may define the next frontier of financial order.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

What Would Happen If Social Security Benefits Were Cut in Half?

What Would Happen If Social Security Benefits Were Cut in Half?

Jordan Rosenfeld  Sun, November 23, 2025   GOBankingRates

Social Security works essentially as a safety net to help keep older adults and other vulnerable individuals out of poverty. While President Trump has said he won’t cut Social Security, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) have made significant changes, including layoffs to Social Security Administration (SSA) staff and tax cuts, leading to questions about the fate of Social Security in the United States.

Additionally, analysts have been discussing for years whether the trust that funds Social Security will remain solvent or run out by the early to mid-2030s. Some have speculated that to truly “save” Social Security, it will be necessary to cut back on recipients’ benefits.

So, what would happen to current and future retirees if the amount that Social Security recipients received were cut in half?

The Immediate Impact

According to George Carrillo, CEO of the Hispanic Construction Council (HCC) and the former director of Social Determinants of Health for the state of Oregon, Social Security is not “just a policy. It is a promise, a lifeline that ensures dignity and security for retirees, disabled workers and their families.”

Having spent years as a senior executive in government managing complex social programs, he knows “just how vital Social Security is for millions of Americans.” A hypothetical 50% cut to these benefits would “unravel that promise, throwing many into financial despair.”

According to Carillo, “For someone who relies on Social Security for half or more of their income, even a partial cut would devastate their ability to meet basic needs like housing, healthcare and food.”

To put that into perspective, the current average monthly benefit is $2,007. A 50% cut would leave retirees with just barely over $1,000. If your income is retirement benefit-based, then reduced benefits could be detrimental to your monthly budget.

Carillo stressed that these are not “theoretical numbers,” but represent real people and families who would be left scrambling to adjust. If the average Social Security recipient’s benefits were reduced by 50%, the impact would be pretty significant.

Who Would Be Hit the Hardest?

Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 24 Nov. 2025

Compiled Mon. 24 Nov. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Summary:

At the heart of Byington’s November 24, 2025 dispatch is the arrival of the Quantum Financial System (QFS) and the Global Currency Reset (GCR) / Revaluation (RV).

The report asserts that Sun. 23 Nov. 2025 marked the execution of all NESARA/GESARA signature blocks, locking in the RV/GCR. This new system, we’re told, is gold-backed and operates at an astonishing 1.23 quintillion per second, far beyond the reach of traditional fiat currencies.

A “prophesied three-day global blackout” is mentioned as an impending “sacred pause for reflection” before the QFS fully overrides all existing financial grids. The implications are enormous: a complete shift from centralized banking to a decentralized, transparent, and asset-backed system, promising to “erase debt slavery” and redistribute wealth to “awakened patriots.”

Beyond the grand financial architecture, Byington’s report details the immediate and severe consequences for the “Deepstate” and existing financial institutions.

With the QFS now (allegedly) active and ISO-20022 gold-backed tokens flowing, every “Deepstate slush-fund account on the planet just went negative.” This dramatic shift is depicted with extreme imagery, noting that “Bankers in Zurich and Singapore are (allegedly) committing suicide on live CCTV as we speak.”

The report further warns that banks(allegedly)  refusing the gold-backed reset have a mere 72 hours before their SWIFT codes are “permanently zeroed out by Space Force,” indicating a powerful, military-backed enforcement of this new financial reality.

 The expiration of SWIFT on Sat. 22 Nov. 2025, and its subsequent exposure of “backdoors” in QFS integration, signals the complete collapse of the legacy banking system.

The report lays out an incredibly precise and rapid timeline of events from mid-November 2025 through early 2026. On Nov. 20, 2025, the QFS synchronization was said to be complete, locking “unbreakable gold-backed ledgers across 209 nations” and severing central bank dominance.

The RV/GCR (allegedly) launched on Nov. 22, seeing the Iraqi Dinar(allegedly)  revalued and the ZIM (allegedly) achieving 1:1 parity under the BRICS gold standard.

 Critical developments like “Project Redemption” on Thurs. 4 Dec. 2025, involving QFS wallets and 7-second biometric ID scans, and the finalization of a BRICS unified gold currency on Wed. 10 Dec. 2025, are highlighted. By Jan. 2026, the Quantum Reset is projected to override all legacy systems, cementing gold as the “eternal truth standard.”

Perhaps the most striking element of this vision is the promise of widespread debt forgiveness and wealth redistribution.

The report announces NESARA/GESARA decrees activating “nationwide debt forgiveness at midnight” on Nov. 22, 2025, nullifying mortgages, loans, credit burdens, and “IRS enslavements.”

This “global jubilee” is framed as dismantling the “Federal Reserve’s Rothschild grip” and reclaiming “quadrillions in stolen gold and offshore assets.” Prosperity packages exceeding $150 trillion are slated to initiate QFS deposits in November 2025, with Tier 4B notifications(allegedly)  deploying on Tues. 25 Nov. 2025, unlocking humanitarian funds and military-secured redemption centers.

The report even references a “Trump’s $2,000 Stimulus Check to every American,” stating, “Dividend Will Be Paid.”

Byington’s narrative culminates in a vision of a Restored Republic, re-inhabited since July 23, 2024, sovereign and debt-free.

This “greatest wealth transfer in history” is secured by “Military guardians” ensuring every patriot receives their “sovereign funds without delay.” The imagery is infused with spiritual undertones, describing “divine orchestration” and “heavenly mercy,” fulfilling “ancient prophecies of wealth transfer from the wicked to the faithful stewards of God’s bounty.”

Whether one views this elaborate narrative as prophetic insight or a compelling work of speculative fiction, it undeniably presents a bold vision of a world utterly transformed.

 Judy Byington’s report from November 2025 certainly offers a dramatic and highly detailed blueprint for a monumental shift, promising an end to financial entitlement and the dawn of an era of transparency, equity, and abundance for humanity.

Frank26   [The Iraqi dinar] is going to reach what's called the real effective exchange rate.  It's going to reach in a float in an international basket.  Iraq will not be pegged with the dollar but they will be paired to it with other currencies...This is the next step...I don't know how much more time we have to wait but I'm confident there is an end to this waiting period very soon...The more we learn about the basket and the float the better for us because that is the end.

Militia Man    October 31 press conference:  Foreign reserves cover 18 months of imports.  Do you realize how big that is?  That's not normal for countries.  That's far over average...'We have plenty of dollar and the banks are ready to the world.'  That's what Alaq is saying...Dr. Saleh: Gold is up 55%, inflation is down 76%, reserves cover everything.  Their inflation is down to 0.8%.  That's perfect.  That's IMF requirements.  That's a tell sign to the BIS.  It's a tell sign to the WTO.  Those are all tell signs that they're doing the right things.

Jeff   That Newsweek magazine about 'Make Iraq Great Again', was Iraq announcing on a world stage how they're about to go international.  That was an international announcement by the country of Iraq in Newsweek magazine how they're about to...jump back into the international world...It's important for you to understand what's in this edition of this  magazine ...Iraq got back on the world stage to announce all the hurdles and challenges they had to go through to achieve stability...This is Iraq's formal announcement on the world stage of Newsweek.  They're announcing they're going international and very close to doing it...
